The garrison took the paperwork and bowed to leave. Jin Changtai smiled slightly, and a burst of happiness surged in his heart, and with just a few strokes, he could change hands with thousands of dollars, which is the happiness brought by power. The "primogeniture law" is one of the most fundamental systems of the Xia Kingdom, and it is difficult to abolish it in the Xia Kingdom. There are a few more capable officials in the camp who are familiar with the law, and Kim Chang-tae can't abolish it so easily.

Large families are usually reluctant to divide the family, and the people in the long house may not all have both ability and political integrity, but they can inherit all the family business, and those who have talents in other houses can only make wedding clothes for others just because they are not the eldest son of the long house. It's like the old man of the Jin family in Lizhou, who is a rich and unkind, rich and virtuous bastard, but because he is the eldest son of the long house, he inherited the big family business and is rich. Kim Chang-tae's father was a good businessman and a frugal himself, but he could only maintain a medium-sized business. On the other hand, because of this decree, the industries of the big merchants gathered but did not disperse. Although the imperial court has a "self-defense of the city", but those big families have more and more industries, so they can naturally control the chamber of commerce and control the market, and many small and medium-sized businessmen who work hard can only rely on others.

In the Xia Kingdom, many people of insight have claimed that the "primogeniture inheritance system" should be changed to the "equal division of all sons", just like the "Tui En Order" of the Han Dynasty, no matter how big his family business is, it can be diluted from generation to generation. However, each time the Prime Minister's Office, the Protector, and the Captain of the Protectorate Office proposed, the Pillar Governor, who was responsible for formulating the decree, either opposed it or did not make a decision. Over time, everyone also understood that the power of the great clan that has been passed down for hundreds of years cannot be easily shaken.

The Changfang surnamed Pan was able to get the support of the "primogeniture inheritance law" in Lizhou, but because the business industry was in Liaodong, the second son who ran the business insisted on refusing to hand over the account books and keys, so he asked the garrison to forcibly take it back to the Changfang. However, when he was in the Xia Kingdom, Kim Chang-tae was extremely dissatisfied with the "primogeniture inheritance law". He originally intended to hand over the case to the local chamber of commerce court in Subin Prefecture, because he calculated that the second son had been operating in Liaodong for a long time, and according to common sense, he would not suffer a loss. But the Pan family longhouse took the path of the Jin family's long house, which greatly offended Jin Changtai, and he personally annotated the pen, so that the "primogeniture inheritance law" was almost abandoned in Liaodong.

Only in the remote Liaodong, strictly speaking, this is not the land of the Xia Kingdom. Although the Chengying Battalion also established tribunes and inquisition offices under the rule of the Chengying Battalion, it was not at all possible to balance the influence of the sergeants on the local area. Mo said that he was proficient in the laws and regulations of the Xia Kingdom, even if there were not many people who were familiar with the laws and regulations of the Liao Kingdom. As a result, Kim Chang-tae had to concurrently serve as the presiding judge of the Supreme Court, so it was easy for him to abolish the primogeniture law and replace it with the "equal division of all sons" system prevailing in the Central Plains and Liaodong. In the future, the word "forcibly" will be added before the word "equally".

The only thing to consider is how to explain this matter in the future when the imperial court and Captain Zhao ask about it. Jin Changtai pondered for a moment, Liaodong and Xia were thousands of miles apart, and neither the Zhu State Mansion nor the Protector Mansion knew the local situation, so they should not care too much. And with Zhao De's behavior, he should be able to support himself.

"Damn, it's a big deal to lose my official position, and I'm going to abolish this bastard law too." Kim Chang-tae said secretly, a wave of heat poured out of his heart, and he didn't feel refreshed. Since he was acting for the military and political affairs of Liaodong, he has been running like a machine, as energetic as a young man in his twenties, and as heavy and calm as an old official in his forties and fifties, but there are a few deep wrinkles on his forehead unconsciously.

"Jin Sima, Mrs. Zhao is not on this ship." Chashen flipped through the list submitted by the ship's boss and said in a deep voice. Kaizhou has long been captured by the Liao army, and even Laiyuancheng has been attacked by the Liao army, and most of the dependents of the sergeants of the Chengying battalion have been sent to the northernmost fortress to send to the northernmost fortress to send the port of Bin Bin, it stands to reason that if it is counted from the time of the retreat of the Han army, Zhao Xingde's dependents should have arrived a long time ago.

"The sailor is still staying near Suzhou, perhaps, Mrs. Zhao is on the sailor's boat." Kim Chang-tae muttered, "A month ago, Captain Li brought a letter saying that the fourth battalion had received General Zhao's family, and in that case, it would be safer. "In the nearby seas, there is no sea power to compete with the gunboats of the Xia Division, but according to military reports, both the Song and Liao countries have begun to imitate sea ships equipped with artillery, so the wood in Liaodong will be in short supply.

The Hebei side said that it was okay to buy grain, but it was necessary to exchange high-quality iron and shipbuilding timber. There were more than 100,000 people waiting for grain in the north, and Jin Changtai and Zhao Xingde also agreed, and only reported the matter to the General's Mansion in Feishu, and the military government did not intervene later.

The Song Dynasty's secrecy skills have always been extremely poor, and the news that the Liao State is preparing to cede Kyushu behind the mountains has caused a lot of noise in the government and the opposition. Some people advocate sending troops to receive Kyushu after the mountains immediately, and some people say that Youyun is poisonous puffer fish meat, and that Xia and Liao are prepared to fight, and if Song intervenes rashly, the battle of Changping may appear today, and there is no result for more than a month. The war in Datong Mansion is in full swing, and at this juncture, the military government also hopes to try to win over some important ministers of the Song Dynasty.

On Tieshan Island, in the mansion of the Han army marshal, Han Ningshuang asked, "Still can't see clearly?" ”

Zhang Liuge's face was annoyed, and he said stupidly: "Liao Gou found a lot of cow dung and horse dung from nowhere, it was full of black smoke all day long, and the smell was so bad that even the sea ships could smell it, but they couldn't see anything. The ships of the sailors approached a little and were driven away by artillery fire from the shore. "Since the Liao army poured into Guannan, the Han army has been in contact with the city through the banner, and now, there has been no news for seventeen or eighteen days.

"Since the smoke does not disperse," a trace of worry flashed in Han Ningshuang's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "That means that they haven't captured Nanshan yet." ”

"Exactly, the last general also thinks so," Zhang Liuge Bing said, "The Liao Sea in the north has frozen for hundreds of miles, and as the sailors saw the day before yesterday, dozens of war horses of the Liao army with huge cannons have also passed over the sea ice." However, the Xia State Navy Division could not bombard from the sea, so he planned to return to Yueyang Island to renovate the sea ships and replenish a batch of ammunition. ”

"Well, Captain Li sent someone to inform me about this the day before yesterday." Han Ningshuang said in a low voice. Zhang Liuge reported and retreated. Han Ningshuang was silent, she looked out the window, a large pile of sea ice piled up on the shore like rocks, and farther away, the waves of the sea were still undulating, but the azure water was extraordinary. Murky.

Although Suzhou Guannan was vulnerable to Liao attacks, as long as the naval division was effective, it was a good place to attract Liao troops and reduce pressure on the Han army camps in the north. As long as the Han army controlled this place, the army of the Liao State going north was like a thorn in the back. According to the information of the detailed work, Xiao Tachi, the new capital of the Liao Southern Expedition, is cunning and resourceful, cruel by nature, and it will take more than 50 days for the sea ice to melt. The Liao army has dragged tens of thousands of catties of artillery from Liaoyang, and a single shell weighs hundreds of catties.

Outside, Mrs. Zhao came to visit, Han Ningshuang woke up from her contemplation and ordered, "Please." ”

She had a little plastic surgery, and Li Ruoxue walked in slowly. She was dressed in a Hexi robe. This robe was originally a Uighur style, but it could be worn on her, but there was no trace of Hu people's breath, the sheep's fur wrapped around her neck, the white robe dragged to the ground, and the slender waist was bundled, which made it even more beautiful. Han Ningshuang is also an excellent beauty herself, but every time she sees her, she unconsciously feels close.

Sinan served two cups of fragrant tea, this is Mrs. Zhao's hospitality, Li Ruoxue thanked her, and then said to Han Ningshuang: "General Li sent someone to inform him that he will soon anchor and go north, and we will take care of it more these days, Ruoxue is specially here to bid farewell to Miss Han." As she spoke, although she had a smile on her face, she still unconsciously showed a sad color. Normally, Li Sihai would send someone to inform her about the situation in Guannan, Suzhou, but there has been no news of Nanshan City in the past few days.

This melancholy fell in Han Ningshuang's eyes, she sighed in her heart, took a sip of the teacup, and said softly: "Yueyang Island is a new place for sailors, and the island is full of rude men, and it is inconvenient for Mrs. Zhao to go there. If you don't dislike it, you can stay on Tieshan Island and wait for the sea ice to melt, and according to the law of previous years, there will be more than 50 days for the virtuous couple to reunite. ”

Han Ningshuang was actually only half right, there were actually women on Yueyang Island, but they were all prostitutes. There is no shortage of things for women. Li Ruoxue originally hoped to reunite with Zhao Xingde as soon as possible, so she did not go north with other sea ships, but stayed in the south. When she heard Han Ningshuang's words, she couldn't help but feel a little moved, she frowned slightly, and hesitated: "In this way, it is causing trouble to Miss Han." ”

Han Ningshuang stretched out her hand and brushed her sideburns, and said with a smile: "Madame is outside, I don't know what to trouble with?" As she spoke, she stood up, took Li Ruoxue's arm, walked to the window together, looked at the sea level in the north, and said with some astringency: "If Mrs. Zhao stays here, the situation in Nanshan City in the morning will be known in the evening, and the news is much better than that of Yueyang Island." ”

Han Ningshuang graciously retained, Li Ruoxue hesitated again and again, but she still couldn't withstand her persuasion and decided to stay on Tieshan Island. Seeing her back leave, Han Ningshuang was a little stunned, she didn't understand why she persuaded Li Ruoxue to stay. Zhao Xingde already has a wife, and with Han Ningshuang's identity, it is impossible to even be a flat wife.

"Perhaps, let yourself die early." Han Ningshuang muttered in a low voice. She suddenly remembered that more than a hundred years ago, Empress Dowager Xiao forced the ancestor's wife to death, which was the beginning of the centuries-old feud between the Han family and the Liao State. A woman's jealousy and selfishness can sometimes become very unreasonable. Thinking of this, Han Ningshuang couldn't help but shiver, driving this thought out of his mind, but there was a faint pain in his chest.
