I am not Yuan Shu

Chapter 207 This is no longer an ordinary eunuch

If we want to liquidate, we must do it thoroughly.

Court officials and clerks working in court departments.

County officials in the Sanfu and Sanhe areas.

County officials in the thirteen states.

The eunuchs’ respective families and their properties.

Eunuchs' properties in places other than their native places.

The new powerful landlords and their industries that have grown wildly through collusion with eunuchs.

And so on and so forth. The entire eunuch system, which has developed for nearly thirty years, will be caught in this purge and completely eradicated.

To this end, Yuan Shu was even prepared to arrange an army to go out and fight, and use force to send all those bastards who did not want to surrender to the sky.

This is not only a political attitude, an action that makes the whole world feel happy and expectant, but also an important opportunity to develop and grow ourselves and an important opportunity to lay a solid foundation.

In addition, Yuan Feng and his son Yuan Shu also decided to formally rehabilitate the party members as a token of their loyalty to Emperor Liu Kui to the whole world.

They tried to gain justification through this rehabilitation, and thus obtain recognition from people all over the world who had suffered from the Party-Faction Persecution as quickly as possible.

Recognizing Liu Kui meant recognizing the Yuan family’s dictatorship.

This is extremely beneficial to most of the scholars and some of the landlords and powerful people in the world. It is what they have been looking forward to. These people will immediately become the core base of Yuan's dictatorship court and stand with Yuan's court because of their stance on this great purge.

In this name, the Yuan court would immediately gain the right to mobilize a considerable portion of the resources of the entire Eastern Han Empire.

Of course, this isn't all good.

Complete rehabilitation and liquidation means standing in opposition to all the eunuch forces in the world and fighting them to the death, with no room for easing between them.

Some of the more incompetent and cowardly eunuch remnants may flee, just like the former party members did.

However, there are also some stubborn people who, considering their unforgivable sins, may become desperate and make a desperate attempt to start a rebellion and try to stir up some trouble.

If things really come to this, the Yuan court will have nothing to say.

Just do it!
Use force to decide everything!
So Yuan Shu expressed his attitude to Yuan Feng.

Since he was determined to fight to the death with the remnants of the eunuchs, he wanted to take a share of the economic wealth such as land, houses, shops, etc. owned by the eunuchs in the local area.

He couldn't give it all to Yuan's family, nor could he use it all to win people's hearts. He had to get a piece of the fat from it, otherwise he wouldn't be satisfied.

Yuan Feng found this funny.

Of course he wouldn't refuse.

Yuan Shu was actually his partner, so he deserved even half of the fruits of victory.

But he still couldn't help teasing Yuan Shu, asking him if he was too greedy and wanted everything.

Yuan Shu's answer was very serious.

"Of course it's not enough. My goal is to make Liangzhuang flourish everywhere, all over the Han Dynasty. I want the principle of pursuing conscience and integrating knowledge and action to be fully implemented throughout the Han Dynasty. Liangzhuang, as the vanguard, must be established first."

Yuan Feng was a little surprised at the time. He didn't expect that his son not only had the ambition to be an emperor, but also had not forgotten his original intention of following his conscience.

This really shows determination and lofty ambition.

With a hint of inexplicable expectation, Yuan Feng agreed with Yuan Shu's idea and said that the power to share the profits would still be decided by the two of them, father and son. Others needed to consider it, but didn't need to worry too much.

So whatever Yuan Shu wants, just tell him. Be it land, tenants, money, or food, as long as Yuan Shu can send people to control it, develop it well, and have the confidence to run it, just ask for it.

The Yuan family already has a large amount of land properties, and now these are just icing on the cake for the Yuan family, not essential. Therefore, Yuan Shu, who has made great contributions, can take what he wants, and no one will say anything.

This comprehensive survey and review was carried out in this way.

From the afternoon of October 3rd to the morning of October 5th, Yuan Shu and Yuan Feng took turns sleeping and slept for less than four hours in total. The rest of the time they were forced to endure the fatigue and conduct the investigation.

By the afternoon of October 5th, the first version of the liquidation list was finally compiled.

And from this list, Yuan Shu finally understood why this group of eunuchs were able to establish a eunuch dictatorship system.

During these thirty years, the eunuch group, through internal struggles and devouring, passed down the inheritance method of bloodshed, producing generation after generation of eunuchs with strong tactics and strong fighting abilities.

A normal family is one in which the family business is passed down through blood ties, from the father’s death to the son, and from the elder brother’s death to the younger brother, through the patriarchal system. The family business is then carried forward and expanded, gradually accumulating wealth.

Eunuchs are different. They do not follow the patriarchal system, but believe in the law of the jungle, valuing the strong and despising the old. They can even be called raising poisonous insects.

The newly rising eunuchs often eliminated the old and out-of-favor eunuchs through political struggles and bloody fights, seized everything from them, swallowed it up and made it their own, and then became more powerful.

On the basis of the old generation of eunuchs, they further swallowed up the interests of the world, used their own families and the white gloves who tried to curry favor with them to establish their own power in the local area, obtained the interests of land, real estate, shops, etc., and built different economic entities in different places.

It has agriculture, commerce and handicrafts, and can be regarded as a series of fortresses, or even as a series of eunuch economic parks.

Within the park, eunuchs are the bosses, and their agents and white gloves play a role similar to that of general managers. Local laws and regulations have no control over these economic parks.

These economic parks are often not concentrated in one place, nor in their hometowns, but are spread all over the Central Plains, following the principle of "a cunning rabbit has three burrows."

For example, in Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou.

More than 90 percent of the eunuchs' industries are concentrated in these five states. Any eunuch who has served as a constant attendant has industries spread across at least three states. Some smart eunuchs, such as the Lesser Yellow Gate and the Middle Yellow Gate, can also build their own industrial parks in one or two states.

For example, Zhang Rang, the eunuch, had economic parks in five states. In Jizhou, he had more than ten economic parks, six of which had a land area of more than 100 hectares, and two of them had a land area of more than 300 hectares.

The industries he was involved in included brewing, weaving, iron smelting, salt making, horse breeding, poultry farming, grain trading, etc., almost covering everything.

You can imagine how rich this guy is.

There was also Dong Teng, the Zhonghuangmen who had been interrogated and tortured to death. He had five economic parks in Qingzhou and Xuzhou, running seafood, shipbuilding and transportation businesses, and had economic dealings with many local powerful landlords and even gentry.

There was also the eunuch Jian Shuo, who was hated by Yuan Shu. He had six economic parks in Yuzhou, which were managed by his family members. He was domineering in the local area, seized a lot of land and shops, and many local tyrants were squeezed out by him, their families were broken up, it was a horrible sight.

These bastards deceived their superiors and subordinates, and made trouble and money everywhere. They were so fat that oil was oozing out of them, and even their farts made their crotches greasy. Yuan Shu was so embarrassed by this that his eyes sparkled.

I only knew that they were rich before, but I never thought that these bastards were so rich!
Even Yuan Feng sighed and said that this group of eunuchs had been causing harm to the world for thirty years and had even surpassed the Yuan family's six generations of business. Their efficiency was more than three times higher than that of the Yuan family. It was really amazing.

So Yuan Feng said that the speed at which he made money could catch up with or even surpass the Yuan family, which meant that he was no longer an ordinary eunuch.

Must hit hard!

The Han Empire cannot tolerate the existence of a group that is better at making money than the Yuan family!
When his father said this, Yuan Shu was stunned.

The eunuchs have been harassing the people of the world for thirty years, and only then have they surpassed the silent accumulation of the Yuan family's wealth over six generations?

There has never been any record of the Yuan family swallowing up the world's interests or grabbing the people's wealth, nor has there been any record of them embezzling land or oppressing the good. It is as if all the wealth appeared out of thin air, and they got the name of "luxury" for no reason.

Is it that the eunuchs are good at making money, or is it that you, the Yuan family of Runan, are "good" at running businesses?
For a moment, Yuan Shu didn't know whether to praise the eunuchs for their strong skills or praise the Yuan family for their exquisite methods.

But none of this matters anymore.

Yuan Shu was crazy about all this wealth and started to circle it crazily on these industrial statistics forms. Everything he circled belonged to him and he was ruthless and never polite.
