Chapter 3578 Filled Up
Tang, Mo, Cheng and Qian were all frightened.
For the remaining four families, you look at me and I look at you, both of them are a little confused.
The eight major families also have three, six or nine ranks within them.
If the four Qian families of Tang Mo Cheng were the upper four families, then the remaining four Lu Weichang and Ma families were the lower four families.
No matter in terms of strength or money, they can't compare with the top four families, and they basically follow the top four families on weekdays.
Now that the last four families are all gone, they are still holding on. Firstly, they don't have the ability. Secondly, since their wives and daughters are in the hands of the royal family, they have no other choice.
Apart from scolding the Queen in their hearts for being ruthless, they had no other option.
The four families of Lu Weichang and Ma all came out to kneel down.
"I am also willing to give up my family property to share your Majesty's worries!"
"Okay, everything is good." Yun Dai smiled happily, "You are all sensible ministers, I am very happy. I am very satisfied with the banquet today. If you are also satisfied, you can each take your wife and daughter back. Go home."
Everyone knelt down.
Looking at Her Majesty the Queen with a smile on her face, the princes and ministers had mixed emotions.
Although she is only a woman, she is really powerful.
With just such a banquet and no show of dignity, the eight major families were deposed.
Under the notice of Her Majesty the Queen, life will not be easy for the princes and nobles of Northern Qi.
But at the same time, they had to admit that, on the contrary, the people of Northern Qi would have an easier time.
Obviously, Her Majesty the Queen cares about the people of Northern Qi, not the princes and nobles like them.
In the past, everyone would have looked down upon her a little.
But from now on, the Queen has gathered all the power, money, and manpower of the eight major families. Who else can compete with her?
The late Emperor Xiao Yan was not very outstanding as an emperor. He did not manage Northern Qi very well, but instead made it a mess. But before he died, he still made the most successful decision in his life——
Pass the throne to this younger daughter.
Judging from her performance today, she ranks among the top three emperors of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Perhaps, in the eyes of those women who benefited from participating in the imperial examination because of her, she was the most wise ruler in Northern Qi.
No matter what, the matter has come to this, and struggling is useless.
After the banquet was over, Yun Dai immediately asked Han Yu, Jun Qingbai, and Xiao Ran to collect money and materials from the eight major families.
The Mo family's mineral veins, the Tang family's horse farm, and the Qian family's money.
The treasury was filled instantly.
Xiao Ran was grinning excitedly all day long.
She had never managed so much money.
As the Minister of Household Affairs, I have money in my hands and don't panic.
When departments large and small reached out to her to ask for money, she was confident enough to speak.
When the palace expenses are needed, there is no need to use Sosou's calculations.
That made her feel ashamed.
In short, I have money.
In addition, the iron ore that Song Yan found was successfully mined, and he made his first sale to Zhou Guo and saw a profit.
For a long time, Yun Dai will no longer have to worry about money.
Correspondingly, the eight major families became weak and declined rapidly.
It is said that the tiger falls in balance but the dog bullies them. These eight major families have been arrogant for hundreds of years. They are usually arrogant and feel that they can control even the royal family. Naturally, they will not take others seriously.
There will be no shortage of enemies.
When they were prosperous, everything was easy to talk about. Now that they are down and out, there are so many people stepping forward to step on them.
Once this trend of decline is established, it can never be undone.
