Thinking of this, Ling Zhou couldn't help but wonder. Could it be that his father wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to abolish preferential policies for the original residents?

Or, are you trying to use this matter to make the residents of the original book recognize themselves?

Let them know who is Lan Ling’s master?

Actually, it is possible to think about it.

Those preferential policies targeting the residents of the original text may not have any problems in the short term.

Even if you wait for another hundred years, there will be no problem.

But if it continues for a long time, it may be bad.

This is like family education. If you keep whipping, maybe he will be obedient and motivated. But if you spoil it for a long time, you will inevitably develop a rebellious mentality.

It may even be the opposite, and the possibility of hitting parents.

How many unfilial sons, even those who beat the elderly, did not spoil them since childhood?

Thinking of it, he stretched and stopped thinking about it.

What if he doesn't matter, it would be fine if he really cleans up some harm as he thought.

He would not stand out for the indigenous residents.

Although Lan Ling Jianguo, the original residents made an indelible contribution.

Soon, the car drove into a highway, and at the end of the highway, there was a huge luxury building complex.

This complex is probably second only to the palace in terms of scale.

This is the Xia family mansion.

At this time, the square in front of the Xia family's mansion was already full of people. At a glance, there were 300 people, all of which were from the Xia family.

Before the founding of Lanling, the Xia family was a big family. Later, they followed the royal family and developed for a hundred years, with so many members in the clan.

Those who attended the family meeting yesterday were all direct and a small number of important members of the collateral department. The ones gathered here this time were direct and parallel departments, and the collateral departments were added together.

In this way, some people with status are qualified to appear here.

Some Xia family members with low status are simply not qualified to come.

As the convoy arrived, Lan Ling’s unique welcome song rang.

Under the leadership of Xia Lianbo, the Xia family met in an orderly manner.

The convoy stopped and the butler opened the door.

Lingzhou and Ling Lanxin, siblings walked out of the car with a gentle smile on their faces and gracefully.

"Dear Prince, Your Highness, Your Highness, welcome you."

Xia Lianbo led the Xia family members to bow respectfully, bowing and greeting him.

"Head of Xia, please get up."

Ling Zhou stretched out his hand and said with a gentle look.

Today, everything is mainly based on Lingzhou.

The Xia family members then stood up.

Then, at the invitation of Xia Lianbo, Lingzhou and Ling Lanxin brothers walked into the Xia family mansion.

It has to be said that the Xia family is worthy of being a big family that has been passed down for a hundred years, and luxury is revealed everywhere in the mansion. It can be said that the level of luxury is second only to the royal palace in the entire Lanling.

Of course, unless the Xia family has the intention to rebel, they would not dare to build their own house like a royal palace.

The Xia family has mastered this very well.

"This time I came with the princess to be a guest. At the same time, it was also for yesterday..."

In a huge hall of the Xia family, Ling Zhou stood in front of him, looked at the Xia family hundreds of times and said a lot of polite words.

There are comforts and knocks in these words.

Of course, these words were not considered as Ling Zhou's words, but were just manuscripts driven out by the royal think tank, which were read out by Ling Zhou like this.

This was not difficult for Ling Zhou. With his memory, the manuscript had long been imprinted in his mind.

But no matter what Lingzhou said, the 300 people in the Xia family, whether they were Xia Lianbo who had lived for more than 70 years or some juniors in the Xia family, were like children, lowering their heads and listening carefully.

Moreover, every time Lingzhou's voice changed, the Xia family also changed their faces.

The atmosphere in the hall was completely controlled by Ling Zhou.

"Although the Xia family's affairs were done by the three Xia families, the royal family was generous and would not implicate the entire Xia family. However, death penalty could be avoided, and living crime could not be escaped."

Ling Zhou looked at the Xia family and said lightly.

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the Xia family changed.

It was indeed not that easy to pass, and the royal family still punished the Xia family.

But, what will the punishment be?

Many Xia family members were worried, fearing that the royal family would implicate themselves.

"Penal: The Xia family took out one-half of their total assets to fund our country's charity, fund the government, and build six major regions."

Ling Zhou said in a low voice.

Although the six major areas of Lanling are already modern cities, many places also need to be built, which requires money.

One-half of the property?

This is to cause the Xia family to get hurt!

"yes."

When everyone in the Xia family was surprised, Xia Lianbo, the old man of the Xia family, agreed without hesitation.

Compared to family heritage, what does it count as losing half of the family property?

If the prince came over and just comforted the Xia family and let the Xia family go easily, then he would be unable to feel at ease.

In that way, he would feel that the royal family had not yet made any mistakes and had to wait for the future to settle the score.

This is not a badass.

This is reality.

"Well! The Xia family will limit the total value of the Xia family's industry within one week. Whether to donate cash or donate to the company for auction, the Xia family will decide by itself."

Ling Zhou said in a low voice.

"The Xia family is willing to provide funds to contribute to our country's charity and urban construction."

Xia Lianbo said without hesitation.

The golden egg is lost. As long as the chicken that lays the golden egg is still there, there will be a chance to make the lost golden egg back in the future.

But if the company is lost, it will be a big blow to the Xia family.

Of course, paying such a big price at once, paying one-half of the total assets, and it is still funds, is not a small amount for the Xia family, and it is enough to hurt the bones.

But as long as the company is still there and as long as there is no major crisis, there is still a chance to recover.

Ling Zhou nodded and said, "The royal family will send a financial team to assist the Xia family in statistics."

"yes."

Xia Lianbo responded.

He knew that this financial team was coming to monitor their Xia family to put it bluntly.

But it doesn't matter. He has reached this point and he is no longer in the mood to cheat.

Otherwise, if it is found out, it will be really over.

"Also, punishment: The Xia family wrote a confession letter, signed by all members of the Xia family, and hung it outside the Xia family gate to show a warning. The deadline is three years, and it can be removed after three years, and it can be hanged in the Xia family's ancestral temple to warn future generations."

Ling Zhou said the second punishment.

As soon as the second punishment was released, another bang was heard on the scene.

This second punishment is equivalent to the first one, and it is not weak at all.

The confession was hung outside the Xia family for three years. It can be said that in the next three years, any guest who comes and goes to the Xia family can see this confession, which is an absolute shame for the Xia family!

"yes."

Xia Lianbo responded.

But this time his answer was much more difficult.

But there was no way, the Xia family was weak and could only respond.

"Third, punishment..."

As he said that, Ling Zhou looked around at the Xia family. At this time, the Xia family was full of various forms, some were sad, some were unyielding, and some seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Third, penalty: From now on, within three years, all direct members of the Xia family are not allowed to go abroad. Those who violate the order shall be dealt with by the sanctioners of [Zi Lan Team 2]."
