When Li Jingxiao and Qiao Kuangshun wanted to kneel, Lu Ning had already stepped forward, one left and one right to stop him, and there were female officials, who brought tables and chairs, Lu Ning wanted two people to sit, and said with a smile: "Today is only to talk about the past, I am entertaining two old friends, regardless of the monarch and ministers for the time being." ”

Li Jingyi's face was complicated, and Qiao Kuangshun was a little panicked, but under Lu Ning's gesture, the two had to sit down.

Two people, a small low table in front of each person, the female official brought fragrant tea, some fruits, etc., Lu Ning was also average, sitting a few steps in front of the two, but the table and chairs were very high-style and beautifully carved.

"How are you doing from Gaccor?" Lu Ning took a sip of tea, and the first question made Li Jingyu and Qiao Kuangshun's hearts skip a beat.

Both of them are good friends with Li Yu, and they also know that the Qi Tianzi in front of them had a bad relationship with Li Yu before, but now the situation is different, Li Yu stayed in Jinling and did not come to Bianjing to meet Qi Tianzi, if he pretended to be sick, then the sin would be great.

"It seems that you don't know, forget it, I'm not for this." Lu Ning waved his hand, and seeing that the two of them had a difficult look on their faces, rather than some sadness or something sad, Lu Ning understood that this Li Yu was pretending to be sick.

I was a little speechless in my heart, this bucktooth boy, as in history, never knows when to do something, and now plays with a child's temper, at least, you pretend to be some, but it seems that people close to you know that you are pretending to be sick, do you have to force me to deal with you.

"Jing Yan, do you remember when I told you that I hope that one day, you and I can taste wine and have fun in Shangjing, the Khitan people?"

Lu Ning spoke, stood up, and behind him, the two female officials were originally holding a big scroll in their hands, but at this time, walking left and right, the scroll slowly unfolded.

Li Jingqi and Qiao Kuangshun looked at it, they were taken aback, but they saw that the golden silk cloth was unfolded, and there were several big characters embroidered on the top of the "Khitan Yu Tu", embroidered on the silk cloth, mountains and rivers, and the names of the state capitals and counties, all of which were where the Khitan people were, and the directions were also marked on it, up the north and down the south, left west and right east.

"This, the Khitan area is so vast?" Qiao Kuangshun was a little shocked, he saw that to the north of Shangjing, there was still a large area, which seemed to be farther away than the distance from Shangjing to Youzhou, and to the west, it was even more vast.

Lu Ning smiled, "The western grassland, the poor mountains and bad waters in the north are inaccessible, so the map is also very vague, but its territory is huge, in a sense, it is not weaker than my Daqi, but most of it is just a foreign land." ”

Qiao Kuangshun nodded silently.

Lu Ning said: "It is a prosperous place in the south such as Shangjing, and this map may not be accurate, but the general outline is not bad." ”

"Your Majesty is ambitious, who in the world is responsible? What a Son of Heaven! Li Jingyi, who was stunned when he looked at the Khitan map, suddenly bowed down and fell to the ground.

Qiao Kuangshun also has a relative, isn't it, this Khitan map, how can it be drawn in a few years? Among them, I don't know how many secret agents to be sent, how much manpower and financial resources are spent, and the former Duke of the East China Sea in front of him is afraid that he will start planning this matter when he is not in the East China Sea?

It's like, this Holy Son of Heaven has been staring at the behemoth in the north, what Song, Qin, Shu, Tang, what Wu Yue, Southern Han, Nanping, Ma Chu, in his eyes, can be wiped out with a snap of his fingers?

The more he thought about it, the more frightened Qiao Kuangshun became, he was very human, he was such a person, he really had the image of the co-master of the world.

Thinking crankily in his heart, Qiao Kuangshun also followed Li Jingyu and bowed deeply.

Lu Ning smiled, turned around and sat down, and said with a smile: "Sit, sit." ”

Li Jingyu and Qiao Kuangshun both retreated and came to their seats, then they stood still, and sat down again.

"Your Majesty,......" Li Jingyi wanted to speak and stopped.

Lu Ning said with a smile: "I said that today is just to talk about the past, if you have any questions, just ask, after today, your questions are afraid that they will rot in your stomach." ”

"Yes, the criminal minister looks at the Khitan map, and there is the word "bowl" on it, what is that?" Li Jingqi asked thoughtfully.

Lu Ning said with a smile: "You can understand that the Khitan lord's stationing place and patrolling camp, the Khitan archery and horse nomadic beginning, although the capital is set to go to Beijing, but the Khitan lord patrols at four times, and there are different garrisons according to different seasons." As he spoke, he felt a little like himself, but the Khitan Lord's patrol place was not as good as his own.

Lu Ning looked at Qiao Kuangshun, "You ask." ”

Qiao Kuangshun was startled, but he didn't want to see it, so he bowed down and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, on my observation map, there is a mark of the military state under the head, but I don't know what it means. ”

Lu Ning sighed, "You can see it as the fief of the Khitan nobles, and the peasants and herdsmen in the fief are all slaves of the nobles, but nowadays, many of the slaves of the military states under the head are the plundered atomic people of our country, and some of these military states are even named after the origin of our atomic people, such as Bazhou, which was originally also a military state under the head, and most of the slave population they plundered came from Bazhou, Hebei. ”

Qiao Kuangshun was stunned for a moment, thinking about the people of Middle Earth, dragging his children and daughters, being plundered and driven away by the Khitan barbarians, all the way north, to the bitter cold land, and being confined to be a cow and a horse, and his heart couldn't help but be sad.

"Anything else to ask?" Lu Ning asked.

In fact, Li Jingxiao and Qiao Kuangshun still have many questions, but each of them has already asked one of the most important doubts, how can they keep asking, Qi Tianzi is magnanimous, it doesn't mean that the two of them don't know how to advance and retreat.

"Okay, you two are fine, I have a question," Lu Ning looked at Li Jingyu, "Wang Jin, do you remember?" ”

Wang Jin? Li Jingxiao was stunned, and then asked in surprise: "Your Majesty asked, isn't it the shopkeeper of the East China Sea Baixing?" ”

It was really this Wang Jin who was killed in Quanzhou, but it caused a big turmoil, he once went to the Qi Humanities General Institute as a messenger to calm the anger of the Qi people, and also took five hundred of his carefully trained personal soldiers and archers, so, this name has not been forgotten, especially when this Qi Tianzi mentioned it, I thought that Wang Jin, after all, the East China Sea Baixing has a royal background, and the world knows it.

Lu Ning bowed slightly: "Yes, I received a report back then, saying that this case was mostly related to the Jiangnan Ge family, and in order to prevent the lives of Jiangnan from being ruined, I temporarily exposed the past, and now, it should be clear to investigate." ”

Li Jingxiao and Wang Jin listened, and their hearts were all in shock.

Rich businessmen and big landlords, Qi Tianzi seems to be the most disdainful, Qi Tianzi conquers a place, these people are often unlucky, however, most of them are not wronged, most of them are turned over the old accounts of the former dynasty and punished, speaking of which, it is more than most of the founding monarchs in the annals of history do not leave traces, some of the monarchs who have opened, often make the heads of the former dynasty nobles rolling, today, there is a lot less blood, and more teachers are famous.

However, the big landowners of this dynasty escaped the liquidation, and Qi Tianzi and the cabinet issued the "Decree on the Redemption of Land and Return to the Public", and the rich businessmen and magnates, more than 1,000 acres of land were "redeemed and bought" and leased to the farmers by the government, and the burden on the farmers was greatly reduced, so it did not cause much chaos.

In some places, peasants have even organized themselves to find out for the government the crimes of landlords who are trying to conceal their land, and it is some of them who have no knowledge and no skills, and they take advantage of the opportunity to extort the good and wealthy households, but after a few heads have landed, this phenomenon has also been greatly reduced.

And now, Jiangnan is newly descended, and the old ones were expensive, so will they be unlucky? The first to bear the brunt is the Ge family, known as the first merchant in the south of the Yangtze River?

Speaking of which, the Ge family used to be wealthy, and once stood with the North and South of the East China Sea Baixing, and learned from the East China Sea Baixing, such as the East China Sea Baixing opened a money village in the north, and the Ge family opened a money village in the south of the Yangtze River.

But now it is no longer what it used to be, the expansion rate of Baixing in the East China Sea is almost ten times and a hundred times every year, after all, it is the royal industry of Qi Tianzi, although it seems to be more prepared for overseas trade in terms of commercial circulation in Middle-earth, but even if it moves casually in the mainland, the Ge family has no power to resist.

After the Qi State set up the Four Upper Courts in Jiangnan, Donghai Baixing also took the opportunity to enter Jiangnan to operate, and the Ge family began to intend to fight against it, but as a result, they suffered a big loss and even had to end the money bank business in various states.

Therefore, the current so-called No. 1 merchant in the south of the Yangtze River is afraid that it has long been unworthy of its name, just a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff.

Now, he has been named by Qi Tianzi, but I am afraid that there will be less evil and less auspicious.

Li Jingqi and Qiao Kuangshun were thinking in different moods, and Lu Ning said: "The case of Wang Jin's murder can also be revealed now, Jingkui, you will go to Jiangnan and help me find out the case, Kuang Shun, you are the deputy, and assist the Marquis of Shunyang." pondering, he said: "Jing Yan, I will give you the name of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, envoy Jiangnan, and investigate Wang Jin's case." ”

Li Jingyu and Qiao Kuangshun, listening to Lu Ning's words later, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they could only kowtow to accept the order.

Li Jingyi sighed softly in his heart, investigating the Jiangnan case with Jiangnan people, although Qi Tianzi has so much trust in himself, but the main thing is to hope that this case will be handled with ironclad evidence, even if in the end, the head is rolling, and the Qi people take the opportunity to kill Jiangnan Xungui in one net, but if he wants to be scolded, he will be scolded first.
