Sins Left Behind by the Previous Dynasty

More than 60 years after the founding of the country, Zhao Qian, the young minister of Taichang Temple, discovered something shocking when he was checking old files - there were 32 owners of 37 grain shops in Gyeonggi Province, and their ancestors were all hereditary nobles of the old water and grass clan of the previous dynasty. These people changed their names when the two dynasties of Shuicao were overthrown, from the Muze family to the Ma family, and the distant clan clan to the Jin family. They magnificently retained the wealth and industry they had collected over the past three hundred years, and continued to strangle the economic lifeline of a dynasty. And the root of all this can be traced back to the short-lived Big Head Dynasty. At that time, it overthrew the two dynasties of Shuicao, but it held high the banner of "benevolent government" and refused to liquidate the old Shuicao clan, allowing them to change their surnames to Yifu and be included in the national register. The roots of the three-hundred-year rule have not been touched at all. They have just changed their skin and continue to take root and spread in this land. Nowadays, these remnants of aquatic plants have penetrated into six ministries, provinces, and trade routes, secretly forming a huge airtight network. During the "Lake God Festival" in the old calendar, they will worship their late master behind closed doors, waiting for the opportunity to come back. Zhao Qian's investigation triggered this network. Grain prices in Gyeonggi Province tripled overnight, and 32 grain stores closed their doors at the same time. The other party is telling him: If you check us, we will move our fingers and let you see what real power is.
