Chapter 206: The End of the Aristocratic Family

Next, Jibieshan and Jitongshan began a bloody massacre and looting against all the noble families in Nanzhidao.

These thousand-year-old families would never have dreamed that they would attract two mad dogs.

The behavior of Jibieshan and Jitongshan was no different from that of mad dogs.

The thousand-year-old family has always been firmly in control throughout the changes of dynasties in the past.

No matter how fierce the situation outside is, it will not affect their family.

No one dared to do anything to them. If anyone attacked their family, they would use their pens to curse the person to death.

But this time, Ji Bieshan and Ji Tongshan completely ignored the consequences.

Burning, looting, murder and arson.

Moreover, Jibie Mountain and Jitong Mountain leave no room for maneuver at all.

It is not entirely true to say that they are not afraid of being spread infamy, but they just took Bai Yuanming's words to heart.

Either don't do it, or do it thoroughly.

In the past, aristocratic families have been impacted by some knowledgeable people.

There was once a wise emperor in the Ji Dynasty who felt that the aristocratic families were too powerful, so he once thought of weakening them.

Then this wise emperor became known as the tyrants Jie and Zhou in the eyes of the world.

It was obvious that this emperor did all the good things that benefited the country and the people. During his ten years in power, the national strength of the dynasty steadily increased. However, he was left with such a bad reputation just because he tried to challenge the aristocratic families.

He died of illness at the age of 30. This emperor had always been skilled in martial arts and was in good health. No one would believe that there was no conspiracy behind his sudden death.

This matter was not even a secret in the official circles or among the noble families.

There was a young man in one of the noble families in Jiangyuan who said in public that even if the emperor was disobedient, his family would still kill him.

The two emperors who succeeded him were all mediocre and incompetent, and even the king who destroyed the country before the end of the Ji Dynasty was also pushed to power by the aristocratic families.

It is also possible that the later emperors knew that they could not defeat the aristocratic families, so they deliberately concealed their abilities.

And now Ji Bieshan and Ji Tongshan are going to start a massacre until there is no one left in the aristocratic family.

By that time, who can tell right from wrong?

Who will seek justice for the family?

Bai Yuanming is right when he said that history is written by the victors.

They were deeply touched by this sentence.

Because they all know how wise and powerful their great-grandfathers were.

However, he was slandered by the aristocratic families as tyrants Jie and Zhou.

So the reason they are slaughtering the aristocratic families now is actually to avenge their ancestors.

Of course, revenge is one thing, but plunder is more important.

When Bai Yuanming saw the wealth that Ji Bieshan and Ji Tongshan had robbed, his eyes widened.

After all, he was a descendant of the Bai family in Qingzhou, a large family with hundreds of years of history, and he had seen countless wealth.

But only at this moment did he truly understand what mountains of gold and silver meant.

In fact, Jibieshan and Jitongshan not only robbed the aristocratic families, but even their ancestral graves were not spared.

They also relied on digging up people's ancestral graves and seized countless burial objects.

All the aristocratic families with a little fame in Nanzhidao and their ancestral tombs could not escape the clutches of these two mad dogs.

Bai Yuanming exchanged almost the same weight of grain for gold, silver and jewelry.

The grain transport fleet brought by Bai Yuanming carried dozens of ships of grain when they came, but when they left, there was not enough food, so dozens of large ships were dispatched.

In this transaction, Bai Yuanming did not cheat at all.

Although the price has increased a hundred times, the grain traded to Jibieshan and Jitongshan is also the best grain from Yanhuang.

And this is not all the family’s wealth.

Although Ji Bieshan and Ji Tongshan massacred all the noble families at once.

But he did not use all his wealth to buy food at once.

The possibility of this transaction is only one-third of the wealth.

Bai Yuanming wants to empty out all the wealth of all the noble families in Nanzhidao.

Of course, these riches do not belong to their Bai family, but to Rosen.

Only Rosen can control so much wealth. If it were anyone else, it would be a crime.

Bai Yuanming even felt that Rosen was quite nice to their Qingzhou aristocratic family.

Although the aristocratic families were split up, no fatal blow was taken. Only a few who jumped out of fear were liquidated, and the only family that was actually exterminated was the Chen family.

A lot of positions were offered to the Bai family and the Yu family.

On the other hand, Rosen had planned to kill all the noble families in Nanzhidao without leaving a single one alive.

Bai Yuanming jumped out to take on this job, not only for his own benefit, but also because he admired Rosen.

He hoped that Rosen would be a spotless emperor throughout history.

In the following period of time, Bai Yuanming traded with Ji Bieshan and Ji Tongshan several times.

After making sure that they could no longer come up with more money, Bai Yuanming cut off contact with them.

……

"You did a great job." Rosen was very satisfied with Bai Yuanming's ability: "You need to go to a local place and serve as mayor for a few years. After I ascend the throne, I will form a cabinet, but the age of the cabinet members must not be less than 30 years old."

"My Lord, do you think I am not capable enough?"

"It's not about ability, it's about experience. I want someone with both ability and experience. You're still a little radical right now, so I hope you can go to a place to gain experience for a few years. And I hope you can get married and become a father during those years." Rosen patted Bai Yuanming on the shoulder. "After becoming a father, your mentality will change, and your way of dealing with people will also change."

If someone else said these words, Bai Yuanming would just sneer, he has his own pride.

But the person who said this was Rosen. Rosen's wisdom, ability and means were all what Bai Yuanming admired.

So he believed that Rosen was doing this for his own good.

Moreover, he indeed felt that he was too young. Even in the previous dynasty, no one had been promoted to the rank of minister in his twenties.

"Take these books. I'm going to test you when you come back from your trip."

"Yes, my lord... But can you wait until the world is unified before letting me take up the post?"

"Why?"

"I want to witness the day when the world is unified. I want to see my lord ascend the throne with my own eyes."

"Okay, is there anywhere you want to go?"

"I want to go to Nanzhi Road, any capital city."

"Oh? You like the Jiangnan water town?"

"The people of Nanzhidao are living in poverty now, and it is also because of me, so I want to make Nanzhidao prosperous again and make it the most prosperous place again."

"Since you are so confident, I will give you a position as a frontier official and let you serve as the governor of Nanzhi Road."

When Bai Yuanming heard that he could become a provincial governor, his loyalty to Rosen increased to the maximum. He wished he could leave his head with Rosen to prove his loyalty and determination.

"Don't be idle during this period. You can go and look around the six major departments and learn how they operate. Don't be in the dark when you take office."
