Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    ??

    Huang Mingyuan entered Chang County (now Deping Town, northeast of Linyi County, Shandong Province), and the Gao family finally sent someone.  It was Huang Mingyuan's heavy blows that finally made the Gao family unable to sit still.

    Gao Shida¡¯s death was expected by the Gao family.

    Gao Shida has neither vision nor ability. He took advantage of the troubled times and became the overlord of one party by luck. In essence, he is just a thug of the Gao family.  If it's gone, it's gone. Not only will the Gao family not be sad about it, but they feel that Gao Shida is too incompetent.  The Gao family gave him so much funding, but he couldn't buy much time for the Gao family.

    The Gao family was originally prepared to pretend not to know about Huang Mingyuan's move south.  They also acted condescendingly, waiting for Huang Mingyuan to come to see them first.  But Huang Mingyuan ordered people to capture Yanshan County and directly hit the Gao family's seven inches.

    ?? Salt Mountain, as the name suggests, is a place where salt is produced.  Yueminggu within the territory is "at the eastern boundary of the county, bordering Magu Mountain in the west, and the sea in the east, where salt is cooked." It is a famous salt field in the north.

    The fishing and salt industry has always been a huge profit. As a large family in the Bohai Sea, the Gao family naturally controls a considerable part of the salt cooking industry in the Bohai Sea.  Later, with the rise of Gao Shida, the Gao family used Gao Shida's bandit regime to merge and suppress the original forces, almost monopolizing all the salt fields in Yanshan, and controlling half of Hebei's salt supply.

    If Huang Mingyuan had not opened a new salt field in Tianjin Port and captured part of the salt market, the entire Hebei salt market would have been monopolized by the Gao family.

    Originally, the Gao family still had sufficient confidence to confront Huang Mingyuan because of their control over salt. Therefore, even if Huang Mingyuan occupied the entire Bohai County, the Gao family still had no intention of bowing to Huang Mingyuan.

    But of course Huang Mingyuan would not sit back and watch the Gao family monopolize the salt supply, so after occupying Yanshan County, he took the salt fields of Yanshan into official camps on the charge of collaborating with bandits.  As for the original managers of the Gao family here, they were either killed or expelled. Anyway, these salt farms have nothing to do with the Gao family.

    What Huang Mingyuan did was actually considered a plunder, even more excessive than what the Gao family did before, but the Gao family couldn't deal with him at all.

    Huang Mingyuan knew very well that only by subduing these aristocratic families could Hebei be completely stabilized.  However, there is no such thing as completely annihilating aristocratic families, so one must master a certain degree.  Therefore, Huang Mingyuan pressed forward step by step, testing the bottom line of each major family bit by bit.

    After Huang Mingyuan attacked Yanshan, the Gao family was shocked, as if they were mourning an heir.  Many people even want to fight against Huang Mingyuan.  But after everyone became angry, they discovered that they had nothing to rely on when facing Huang Mingyuan.

    When Huang Mingyuan doesn't play by their rules, everything they rely on is a joke.  Land, fame, private soldiers, public opinion, none of them can compare with Huang Mingyuan.

    And the Gao family was a little frightened by Huang Mingyuan's series of actions.  It was impossible that Huang Mingyuan didn't know who Yanshan belonged to, but he still attacked him brazenly. Could it be that he was determined to deal with the Gao family.

    At this time, the Gao family felt scared.

    And the more the Gao family thought about it, the more terrifying it became, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt that this was what happened.  Even a big family like the Lu family would perish if Huang Mingyuan said it would. How could he care about the Gao family?

    ¡° Moreover, the Gao family has connections with many bandits in Hebei, and has much more handles than the Lu family.

    So the Gao family could no longer sit still and quickly sent someone to see Huang Mingyuan.

    The person who came to see Huang Mingyuan this time was Gao Hongde, Gao Jiong's second son. He was once awarded the title of Duke Ying and served as the secretary of the Jin Dynasty Prince's Palace. He worked together with Huang Mingyuan.  Later, after Gao Jiong was dismissed, Gao Hongde was also dismissed from his title and has stayed in Bohai until now.

    Gao Jiong has been staying in Fengzhou since he was almost killed by Yang Guang in the third year of Daye.  However, Yang Guang's cruelty seemed to really hurt Gao Jiong's heart, so Gao Jiong remained depressed and unhappy, and died of illness within a year.

    At this time, the eldest son Gao Shengdao in Gao Jun's house had passed away, leaving only two brothers, Gao Hongde and Gao Cousin.

    The Gao family knew about the friendship between Huang Mingyuan and Gao Jiong, so they asked Gao Hongde to come and meet Huang Mingyuan.

    Seeing Huang Mingyuan, Gao Hongde immediately bowed his head to the ground, not daring to show any airs.  In fact, he is also the mildest among the three brothers. If Gao Biaoren comes, he is afraid that he will question Huang Mingyuan directly.

    "Where did Wen Shang (Gao Hongde) come from?"

    When Gao Hongde saw that Huang Mingyuan was not very friendly, he paused in his heart and said, "Three years since Daye, Duke Wei has spoken uprightly to save my Gao family. Although Hongde is deeply touched by this, he has never been able to express his gratitude in person. He is really ashamed. Today  Duke Wei came to Bohai in person, how dare Hongde not come in person to pay homage to Duke Wei."

    "Wen Shang is so polite!"

    Huang Mingyuan said disapprovingly: "Mr. Gao is both a teacher and a friend to me. When I spoke for Gong Gao, I was just speaking out for justice. Moreover, Gong Gao also taught me sincerely. The Gao family treats me as such."?Nothing to owe.  "

    "Gong Wei is upright and selfless, but I, the Gao family, cannot really turn a blind eye to this."

    Huang Mingyuan distinguished his relationship with Gao Jun from the Gao family, but Gao Hongde tried every means to bring him back.

    At this time, Gao Hongde took out a gift list from his arms and said: "Now that Duke Wei has led the army to arrest the bandits in Hebei, he has done great service to the country and benefited the people. The people of Hebei are all grateful and admire Duke Wei for his service to the country and the people."  . When the army is dispatched, people eat horse chews every day, which must consume a lot of money. Although my Gao family has passed down poems and books and has little savings, we are still willing to contribute to quelling the bandits. These are some materials raised by my Gao family.  Please also ask Wei Gong to accept it."

    Huang Mingyuan opened the gift list, which read: "One hundred thousand dan of grain, a number of cattle and sheep, a number of servants"

    The Gao family has spent a lot of money this time.

    Huang Mingyuan put down the gift list casually and said: "Wen Shang, I felt the inconvenience of the current tax system, so I tried a new tax system in Youzhou. Now I am going south to the Bohai Sea, and I am interested in promoting it in the Bohai Sea. What do you think?"

    Huang Mingyuan doesn¡¯t care about money or things. The most important thing now is the promotion of the new tax system.  This is like a multiple-choice question. It's really either a friend or an enemy.

    Gao Hongde had already discussed this matter at the Gao family and knew that he had to make a statement on this matter. After all, his arm could not twist his thigh.

    So Gao Hongde repeatedly promised to resolutely implement the laws and regulations of Xingtai.

    Huang Mingyuan didn¡¯t expect the Gao family to become weak so quickly, but this is the most revealing aspect of the weakness of the wealthy family. Their family has a big business and they dare not gamble on many things.

    Gao Hongde later said that his "third brother Gao Biaoren has a daughter who admires Duke Wei and is willing to recommend herself as a pillow", and said that he would use thousands of hectares of land as a dowry.

    Huang Mingyuan also knows that marriage with aristocratic families is inevitable. In this case, there is no need to resist.  At this time, the Gao family expressed their attitude. Although they didn't care, they still had to show some goodwill, so as not to let the world think that they wanted to kill all the major families, so they agreed to the matter.

    As for the daughter of the Gao family, if you don¡¯t like her, just leave her alone.

    But what Huang Mingyuan didn't know was that this girl was the legitimate daughter of Gao Biaoren and Princess Daning. The Gao family worked hard to please Huang Mingyuan.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
