As early as March, Zhang Lingyang had already ordered Zhu Kaishan, the secretary of the household department, to start measuring the land of the country.

However, due to various considerations, the places measured by the household department at the beginning were only Beijing, northern Hebei, southern Henan, Shandong, western Shanxi, and northern provinces such as Yong and Liang.

Even so, the household department was still greatly hindered in measuring the land.

For example, in Shandong, when the officials of the household department arrived, the local gentry led by the Confucian family of Shengyan Gong tried their best to obstruct it, so that the work of the household department could not be displayed at all.

Even if Zhu Kaishan, the head of the household, went in person, there was still no effect.

Others are okay to say.

But once Sheng Yangong is implicated, things can become extremely tricky.

The household department can't bypass Sheng Yangong alone, and measure the land in the homes of other gentry.

That doesn't make sense.

What's more, the Confucian family of Shengyan Gong is the largest landlord in Shandong.

In the entire Qufu Mansion, the Confucian family occupies six or seven out of ten of the land.

Because of the particularity of the Confucian family, it was delayed until September, and the household department still did not make much progress in the measurement work in Shandong.

And after dealing with the affairs of Warat, Zhang Lingyang completely freed his hands.

Mainly with the victory of Western Xinjiang and the complete return of Warat, the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty has stabilized, which makes Zhang Lingyang begin to look at the country.

Of course, the work of measuring land across the country carried out by the household department has become the most important task of Zhang Lingyang's attention.

After listening to Zhu Kaishan, the secretary of the household department, talk about the actual situation in Shandong, Zhang Lingyang ordered Zhu Kaishan to personally go to Shandong to preside over the work there.

Of course, Zhang Lingyang asked Zhu Kaishan to take Zhou Chang and Li Tai, the two newly appointed heads of the household department.

Secretly, Zhang Lingyang ordered Jinyiwei to command Han Xiao to take people to Shandong secretly.

Before leaving, Zhang Lingyang instructed Han Xiao: "No matter what means you use, before the first snow of this year, all the men of the Confucian family of Shengyan Gong must be sent to prison. ”

Hearing this, Han Xiao was extremely embarrassed, but he didn't dare to distinguish a word.

The Confucian family of Shengyan Gong is the most prosperous family in the whole world.

For thousands of years, after the change of countless dynasties, the once prominent families have all walked into the dust of history with the change of dynasties.

The Confucian family of Shengyan is the only one, and has gone through countless ups and downs, and has always stood tall.

It is because they are the descendants of the saints of Confucius.

How can such a family be overthrown by ordinary people?

Things are extremely tricky.

But Han Xiao also understands that if the Jinyiwei can successfully bring down the Kong family this time, then the ministers will definitely change color when they hear the Jinyiwei in the future, and the Son of Heaven will trust and reuse the Jinyiwei more and more.

After all, offending the Confucian family is equivalent to offending all the scholars in the world.

It is also for this reason that Jin Yiwei will only choose to follow the footsteps of the Son of Heaven closely in the future and become the sharpest blade in the hands of the Son of Heaven.

But this is also an opportunity for Jinyiwei.

If the Kong family can be successfully brought down, then Jinyiwei's future will be limitless, it depends on how Jinyiwei chooses.

Han Xiao also understands that this time the Son of Heaven let Jinyiwei bring down the Kong family, there must be a fair and honest reason.

If there is no reasonable reason, Jin Yiwei is afraid that he will not even be able to enter the door of the Kong family

The Confucian family is even a decoration specially set up by the kings of previous dynasties.

But the meaning of this ornament is very different.

Returning to the Jinyi Guard's command envoy's yamen, Han Xiaodang summoned his cronies and ordered: "This time, Your Majesty has issued a secret decree to let our Jinyi Wei thoroughly investigate the ...... of the Confucian family of Shengyan Gong."

Before Han Xiao's words were finished, the following pacification envoys and thousands of households all argued.

A pacification envoy said: "My lord, the Confucian family has been inherited for thousands of years, but it is not so active! ”

"This official knows!" Han Xiao nodded and said, "But Your Majesty's secret decree has been issued, if our Jinyiwei does not move, I am afraid that Your Majesty will dislike our Jinyiwei because of this."

Besides, there is also an East Factory eyeing over there, if we can't do anything this time, or deliberately don't work hard, I'm afraid that our good days of Jinyiwei will also come to an end.

Therefore, this official decided that this time he must strictly follow His Majesty's will and thoroughly investigate the Confucian family of Shengyan Gong.

But brothers must remember that this investigation of the Confucius family must be carried out in secret, and unless there is enough evidence, no one should mess around. ”

"What do you mean, don't we Jinyiwei still have to do the business of the three law divisions?" Youchihu asked.

"Naturally not!" Han Xiao shook his head and said, "This time, we're just looking for some strong evidence to block the reader's mouth."

As for how to try and how to convict? That's Your Majesty's business, and it has nothing to do with us. ”

Hearing this, everyone was relieved.

Han Xiao said again: "This time I went to Qufu Mansion, and the official personally led the team......

After giving the order, Han Xiao went down to prepare his luggage.

After all, it's only September, and Zhang Lingyang said that it would be enough to give the results before the first snow.

It seems like a lot of time.

But Han Xiao understood that time was pressing.

After all, God knows when the first snow will fall?

Maybe it will snow in October?

Besides, is the Kong family so easy to win?

If there is no strong enough evidence, even if the Son of Heaven is disgusted, he can't do anything about it.

Unless it's really a faint king.

But there is no shortage of faint kings in history, but no one dares to punch the idea of the Punch family!

……

An autumn rain and a cold.

In the bleak autumn rain, Zhu Kaishan, the head of the household, led the team to Jinan, the capital of Shandong.

Originally, when an important official of the court like Zhu Kaishan went to the place, there must be officials to greet him.

But because of Zhu Kaishan's mission, when he arrived at the city of Jinan, he didn't see an official come to greet him.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Kaishan's heart was already half cold.

After all, as early as three days ago, Zhu Kaishan had already repaired the book and the Yamen of Shandong.

Now there is no one to greet me, and it sounds good because of the rain.

But in reality?

In fact, this is why the officials and gentry in Shandong silently expressed their resistance to Zhu Kaishan and the imperial court.

Not only Zhu Kaishan, but Zhou Chang and Li Tai, who followed, were not so optimistic when they saw the empty city gate.

"Let's go into town!" After a moment of silence, Zhu Kaishan opened his mouth and took the lead in the city.

It wasn't until he was in front of the gate of the Shandong governor's yamen that Zhu Kaishan saw that Zhao Wu, the governor of Shandong, was late with a group of Shandong officials.

"The lower officials didn't know that Zhu Shangshu was coming, and he missed the welcome, so please forgive me." No matter what Zhao Wuwei thought in his heart, but at this moment, Zhao Wuwei had a faint smile on his face.

As for the other officials, except for a few who couldn't get home, the rest of them also had smiles on their faces.

"Governor Zhao is polite!" Zhu Kaishan also had a smile on his face and replied enthusiastically......
