After Dong Bohou's convoy passed, there was no further movement, and Jiang Ziya continued to follow the pedestrians towards Chaoge City.

Today's Chaoge and Jiang Ziya have changed a little when they left their hometown to seek immortals.

However, these changes are relatively subtle, and Jiang Ziya is only faintly aware of it, and if he wants to know the specific situation, he still needs his own observation.

After wandering around the city for a few hours, Jiang Ziya shook his head slightly and turned in the direction of the outskirts of the city.

Those more precious news are only known to people with a certain status.

He has no identity now, and he is like a headless fly in the city, and he can't detect anything of value at all.

"I remember, the Song clan where the righteous brother is located, although the family is not in the door, but it is also a nobleman in the middle and lower classes of the court, and they are indiscriminately probing in the city, so it is better to go to the righteous brother and ask one or two!"

"I've been away from home for decades, and I don't know how my brother-in-law is now?"

Jiang Ziya walked quickly to the outskirts of the city.

Chaoge is the hinterland of the human race, much safer than other places, especially in the suburbs, a large number of powerful nobles, as well as the declining nobles who barely maintain a certain inheritance, have built a large number of manors on the outskirts of the city.

And Songjiazhuang was built by a branch of the Song clan of Chaoge.

Jiang Ziya's ancestors came from Dongyi and were descendants of the royal family of one of the tribes. However, the ancestors' clans have long been destroyed by the Great Shang, and the bloodline left behind has also been fused by the Great Shang.

Just like Jiang Ziya, he didn't regard himself as an Oriental barbarian at all, nor did he have the slightest yearning for the royal bloodline of his ancestors, he only regarded himself as an ordinary person in the territory of Dashang.

Soon.

Jiang Ziya walked like a fly, and saw a manor located on the south side of the road from a distance, which was not much different from an ordinary village after countless years of reproduction.

The most striking thing in Zhuangzi is a vast courtyard.

Jiang Ziya walked to the entrance of Zhuangzi, his steps slowed down, and he looked at the four directions with some emotion, the scene of Songjiazhuang has not changed much from when he left.

Well, it's not like it hasn't changed.

The number of people in the village has increased, and there are many men and women who bear the marks of slaves on their bodies......

Jiang Ziya's gaze stayed on them for a moment before withdrawing. There is nothing strange about the possibility of a slave being freed and becoming an ordinary person after making a meritorious deed.

"You...... Are you?"

Just when Jiang Ziya was constantly observing, an old man who looked to be fifty or sixty years old was walking out of the courtyard, carrying his hands behind his back, but he had a bit of bearing.

The old man's eyes swept as usual, and his expression suddenly changed, and he saw Jiang Ziya wearing a Taoist robe standing in the distance!

"Brother-in-law, I'm Ziya!"

After Jiang Ziya saw this old man, there was a trace of excitement on his originally calm face. The old man opposite is his sworn brother Song Yiren when he was a teenager.

......

Song House.

In the hall, Jiang Ziya and Song Yiren both looked embarrassed, thinking that the two of them were still young, Jiang Ziya felt the impermanence of life and death after the death of his parents, and wanted to go to find immortals and asked.

That's decades of time.

When they met again, they were already old men with white beards and white hair.

Of course, Song Yiren doesn't have much cultivation on him, he is a real old man, and Jiang Ziya is just introverted and introverted, and he doesn't deliberately use cultivation to maintain the appearance change of his physical body.

Really compared, his body is dozens of times healthy and healthy, and it is not a problem to wear armor and become a general.

"After so many years, you have not heard from you, and my brother still thinks that I will never be able to get together with you again in this life...... Alas, it's good to come back, it's good to come back!"

Song Yiren sighed again and again.

Jiang Ziya also followed his brother's words and sighed again, and then he began to change the topic to other places.

"After decades of not being at home, there seem to be a lot of changes in Chaoge and before, the city is more prosperous, there are many more people in Zhuangzi, the family and the country rise and fall, and the people live in peace, which is good!"

Jiang Ziya exclaimed.

When Song Yiren heard this, he was a little noncommittal, shook his head slightly, and said: "The change is not small, I just don't know if this change is good or bad!"

"What do you mean by this?"

Jiang Ziya hurriedly asked.

Song Yiren sighed: "In the past, when the emperor was on the throne, the song of the dynasty did not change much, but since the current king ascended the throne, the changes have begun, especially in the last few years!"

"The king abolished many temples outside the city, and many nobles in the city of Chaoge were exiled to more than a dozen families...... The most important thing is that the king used slaves outside the city to farm to provide food and grass for Wen Taishi, and turned hundreds of thousands of slaves into commoners!"

"Hundreds of thousands of commoners, most of them scattered to the grange outside the city, and a small number of slaves were actually promoted to petty officials, the king is a nobleman who deliberately suppresses the court!"

Jiang Ziya nodded slightly. I agree with Song Yiren's point of view.

Suppress the aristocracy and promote slaves!

Di Xin's actions were not deliberately hidden, and many people could see it. However, Song Yiren and most of the magnates only saw that Di Xin suppressed the nobles, and did not comprehend the other party's divine will.

"It's a warning!"

Jiang Ziya sighed again and again in his heart, he was proficient in strategy, his mind turned extremely fast, and he understood Di Xin's mind as soon as his mind moved.

Di Xin used these means to warn the major nobles of the court, so that they realized that the emperor was the master of the great merchants.

If you don't obey the Emperor's orders, you can knock them out of the dust at any time and replace them with someone else.

As for the deliberate suppression of the aristocracy and the promotion of slaves, they are all means, not ends.

After all, hundreds of thousands of slaves are just a drop in the ocean compared to the Dingkou of the entire Dashang territory.

Even if Di Xin wanted to promote talents, he would not be dizzy, thinking that he could rely on these slaves to replace the nobles who had lasted for countless years.

"This king, the means are good, if you can make the nobles submit and promote some talents from the civilian slaves, you can make the big merchants more energetic, but it is too hard, I am afraid that the nobles who have been suppressed will not be convinced! There will be hidden dangers in the future!"

Jiang Ziya's eyes flashed.

Although the means are still a little immature, when he thinks of the current king's succession time, Jiang Ziya suddenly felt in his heart.

The main thing is that he is too young, if he can practice for a while longer, maybe Di Xin will be able to become mature.

"If the king's wrist is mature, he will have the appearance of a Ming Jun!"

Jiang Ziya nodded secretly.

As a courtier, the most worrying thing is naturally that the monarch is mediocre, and there is no place for talent. Jiang Ziya can deduce from the words of his righteous brother and the scene he saw in Chaoge that Di Xin is not a mediocre king.

After coming to this point, Jiang Ziya naturally had a little inclination in his heart.

"When I was in the mountains, several senior brothers had a good impression of Qingzhou, if I wasn't from my hometown in Chaoge, maybe I would go directly to Qingzhou!"

When Jiang Ziya's thoughts were floating. Song Yiren seemed to have remembered something.

"By the way, there was an incident in Chaoge recently, it is said that the Marquis of Qingzhou sent a letter to the king, asking the king to go to the Wahuang Temple outside the city to hold a big sacrifice to admit his mistake, otherwise it will shake the fortunes of the Great Shang country......"

"Hehe, the Hou of Qingzhou's letter can make the king angry. ”

Wahuang Temple?

Jiang Ziya's heart trembled, his brows furrowed, and he hurriedly asked the reason.

Song Yiren immediately smiled and told the reason for the incident......

"Wa Palace...... Marry back to Changle and serve the king?"

Jiang Ziya's eyelids suddenly jumped wildly, and the next moment, his forehead and back were sweating profusely......
