What kind of charter will the royal family come up with, this is not something that Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo can interfere with.

Either the prince worked harder and gave birth to a healthy son, or he really considered the matter of step-heirs. Whichever the royal family ultimately chooses, it must be the emperor and the crown prince acting according to their own wishes, not secretly pushed by some careerists.

Therefore, Zhao Mo had to continue to run errands for the emperor and the crown prince, not only to save qualifications and make meritorious contributions, but also to eliminate the adverse effects of his father Zhao Shuo's involvement in the case.

Qin Han really felt that it was really unfortunate for Zhao Mo to have such a father. It's not smart in the first place, and it's pretentious, so you have to mix in big things that you don't have the ability to participate in.

Qin Hanzhen was a little suspicious, Zhao Shuo lost his mother since he was a child, and he was not treated by his father, and he was regarded as a thorn in the side by his stepmother, before the emperor issued a decree to canonize him, even the position of the son of the world may not fall on his head, so he is estimated not to have received a good education, and his own temperament is also unsatisfactory. Otherwise, the step-concubine of the King of Liao and her two sons are not particularly smart and capable people, the status of the prince is not determined by the personal will of the king of Liao, Zhao Shuo occupies the heir and the long, and occupies the advantage in etiquette, which is the preferred candidate of the imperial court, but he is still forced to almost have no way to live, so he can only sneak away to the capital to struggle for survival. This shows how mediocre his talent is, and compared to the children of other clans, I am afraid that he is only better than that.

The emperor used to have hope for this nephew, right? In the past, he also handed over a lot of things to him to do, so that if he did not return to Liaodong, he would be able to stand up in the capital. At that time, the emperor didn't think about anything that could not be continued, but just wanted to find a helper in the clan for himself and the crown prince and cultivate a practical talent. Unexpectedly, the Wang family stepped in, and this plan fell through. If Zhao Shuo hadn't been coaxed by the Wang family to be dizzy, returned to Liaodong and forced his wife to death, abandoned his son, returned to Beijing to marry the daughter of the Wang family, and embarked on the road of fighting for the throne of the emperor's heir, his future is estimated to be much brighter than now.

He will still have the position of the prince, and it will be more stable than now; he will also have the holy family, just as he was valued by the emperor when he first entered Beijing; he will also have power, and he will never be idle like now, and even the military power of Liaodong, he may not be able to insert a foot, and with the endorsement of the imperial court, he will not have a difficult foot in this foot. In addition, he will also have a gentle and virtuous wife, a smart and handsome eldest son, and maybe one or two trouble-free concubines, well-behaved and lovely concubines, and more concubines. He will have his own connections, as well as his own wealth and industry. In fact, he had the opportunity to gain power and happiness at the same time.

Zhao Shuo took the wrong path but didn't know it, he had no love for his son, but he was jealous and hateful, told him the truth, and analyzed the situation for him, but he broke his glass heart and was oppressed by him in the name of filial piety. This kind of person can't be saved, and he can't die with stigma, so as not to affect Zhao Mo's reputation, which is really troublesome.

Qin Hanzhen thought about it and asked Zhao Mo tentatively: "What do you think of our uncle and grandfather in the Qin family's room?"

Zhao Mo was stunned: "Do you mean Cheng Enhou, what's wrong with him?"

Qin Hanzhen said: "He didn't have much trouble, but he had been living at home for many years, living a good life of drunken dreams and death, and he almost didn't even go out of the courtyard gate." The whole family treated him as if he didn't exist, and the people outside also tacitly acquiesced that he wanted to 'recuperate' and would not come to disturb him. In fact, everyone already understands in their hearts that he has lost his holy favor and is confined at home. But he lived a good life, and he didn't cause too much trouble to his family, and he didn't have a chance to go out and make trouble, so everyone was worry-free, didn't they?"

Zhao Mo raised his eyebrows. He understood the meaning of Qin Hanzhen's words. To be honest, if Zhao Shuo can live a life like Chengenhou Qin Song, it is not a bad thing. The question is whether Zhao Shuo himself is willing? Is he willing? Cheng Enhou is only a fictitious title and has no real power, but the prince of Liao will take over the power of the Liao Wangfu sooner or later. Cheng Enhou's wife, son, and Sun family are all sensible people, and they cooperatively restrain him and prevent him from going out to cause trouble. But which of Zhao Shuo's wives and concubines is a fuel-efficient lamp? This time, the turmoil was that Xiao Wang's family came to match Zhao Shuo through his mother's sisters. And Aunt Lan Xue, who gave birth to a concubine, is a character who secretly fears that the world will not be chaotic.

Zhao Mo didn't think that he could live a worry-free life like the Chengenhou Mansion. However, Qin Han's proposal is really good, and he can work hard in this direction. When it really came to time, he didn't care if he had to spend all day with his father and stepmother. If he can be the master of the house himself, in order to control his father and stepmother, he is willing to take them to live in the palace of Suning, but it is just to feed a few more people, and it also saves him from being hundreds of miles away, worrying all day about whether his father and stepmother in Jingzhong will cause him trouble again.

But that's all for later, Zhao Mo is still focusing on the matter of King Ninghua for now.

He told Qin Hanzhen that while King Ninghua was calculating his marriage, he was actually already preparing for the future of the personal guards and the Tibetan soldiers. At the junction of Gaoyang County and Suning County, King Ninghua secretly purchased a very large Zhuangzi and transferred part of Gaoyang County's manpower, chariots and horses. The Zhuangzi in Gaoyang County passed through the government, so naturally they couldn't be removed immediately, which would only make the government suspicious, thinking that they had something unseemly about, so they would run away as soon as they were in front of the government. The name of the county king sounds bluffing, but the county king, whose fief is far away in western Fujian and is not well-known, has neither the protection of the prince's father nor the holy family, and does not pose any threat to the local officials of Zhili, not to mention that the nominal master of Zhuangzi is just the side concubine of a late prince. Side concubines, concubines only. Gaoyang County Ling happens to be a person who has seen the world, and he will not be intimidated by the names of these princes and concubines.

Fortunately, the king of Ninghua had a lot of money on hand, so he had the financial resources to dispose of another big Zhuangzi on the border of Suning. This Zhuangzi is located in a remote area, and it occupies a large area, because most of the land is saline-alkali land, and the yield is very low, so the price is not expensive, nor prosperous, and it is not eye-catching. King Ninghua chose this place to facilitate the concealment of people. When he opens up the way to the palace of Zhao Mo County, he can also let the people hidden in Zhuangzi join the royal palace guards as the local people of Suning, and even the county order, he has done it, and he can apply for household registration for them as long as the manpower is transferred.

However, the year of Ninghua Wang was unfavorable. Zhao Mo studied the method of saline-alkali land management, and last year he researched the results, reported to the emperor and the imperial court, and will not be promoted until the imperial court successfully tried to plant. But he himself is not a slow son who sits and waits for others to produce results, he has a fief at home, so he naturally wants to promote it on his own territory, and if the production is good, it can also increase his income. Therefore, before Zhao Mo went to Beijing last winter, he had already ordered the whole county of Suning, ordered all localities to count the saline-alkali land and wasteland, and began to try to plant some salt-tolerant and drought-tolerant crops after the spring of this year. He plans to plant a batch of corn and sweet sorghum first, and some medicinal herbs and trees can also expand the trial area.

With Zhao Mo's good reputation in the fiefdom now, as well as the old things about him doing farmland experiments everywhere, the people of Suning County have no rejection of his instructions, and they also have the county king's mansion to pay for seeds, and they can also rent out farming cattle and farm tools to tenants, and many farmers who have spare energy are very active in signing up to be tenants of the county king's mansion. And among the farmers around Ninghua Wang Zhuangzi, there are such people. There is also a large area of saline-alkali land in his own village, which is being counted out in the local area for trial farming.

Usually no one will refuse such a good thing, give money to seeds to livestock, and let your wasteland grow food, and it is a fool to refuse. The local area is in harmony with the people's aspirations, and the king of Ninghua is unable to advance or retreat. If the county king's mansion is not allowed to use his land for trial planting, it will only attract suspicion from others. If you want to start with your own hands and plant some ordinary crops to hide people's eyes, then you have to work with the hands of his dirty people to farm the land, and they can do it? If you find tenants or hired workers to farm, as soon as outsiders enter the farm, the secrets of his farm will have the opportunity to be revealed. And agreeing to the county king's mansion to take his land for trial planting will also be in danger of leaking secrets.

King Ninghua could only temporarily free up some manpower, pretending to be a tenant to clean up his own land, saying that he would try to plant by himself and refuse outsiders to enter the village. Although this method can temporarily keep the secrets of the village from leaking, it is not a long-term solution, if the production in the field is not as good as the surrounding trial farming, the surrounding people will mention the trial planting sooner or later, and the attention of the people of Suning County will be attracted to his Zhuangzi. How old is Suning? Zhao Mo will find out sooner or later, and then come to the door. Unless King Ninghua subdues him early, this level will definitely not be passed.

Zhao Mo smiled and said to Qin Hanzhen: "I have already told the emperor and the crown prince about the situation first, and in a few days, the Suning County Order will be replaced." The path that King Ninghua originally opened up did not work, and his manpower wanted to settle in Suning, which was a pipe dream! Next, I wanted those people in his village to become croppers and give me an honest farm. Around his Zhuangzi, I will also arrange manpower to monitor day and night. If someone comes out of the bank, then keep an eye on what they are going to do. The whole Suning is mine, the people of the whole county are my eyes and ears, I am not afraid that his people will fly out of the palm of my hand!"

Qin Hanzhen asked: "What is it possible for these people to do? Is King Ninghua trying to rebel or what? Isn't he planning to pass his son to the palace? Meddling in military power, this is planning to be soft and hard if it doesn't work?"

Zhao Mo nodded: "I also think that he wants to salute first and then soldier." If the emperor and the crown prince successfully accepted his son, then his manpower and military power would not be used. If the emperor and the crown prince don't like his son, he will switch to thunder methods. However, I don't think he necessarily has the courage to do this, and it is very likely that he is just keeping it for tricks. Just as the King of Qin knew that the King of Jin was seriously ill and died, but the prince of the King of Jin was stranded in Beijing and did not return, the princess of Jin sent someone to secretly assassinate the King of Qin, but whenever the children of other clans wanted to compete for the position of royal heir, King Ninghua would use a trick to eliminate these opponents who were competing with his son. But even if he intends to use shady tactics instead of overt rebellion, we should not take it lightly. I can't tell how many people he has, but there are as many as five or six hundred people in Gaoyang and Suning alone, all of whom are young and strong. And according to the news reported by the people below, this is not all the manpower of King Ninghua. The Zhuangzi he bought in Suning can accommodate up to 3,000 people, to say the least, and he doesn't bring any family members. There is another caravan, which will be brought over by another group of people after the beginning of spring, and this batch is estimated to have one or two hundred people. I heard this news from someone who was watching. ”

Qin Hanzhen was taken aback: "So many people, where did he find them from?"

Zhao Mo's expression was a little meaningful: "I don't know, but that caravan is from Shuzhong." ”
