Xiong Jing finally shouted, he hated this kind of stupid courtier, and even more disgusted with being the king of Chu. Especially compared with Zhao Zheng, the king of Qin, he felt that he was a puppet at all, and he was full of courtiers like Meng Zhengyu and Xiang Yan. Mi Xuan was startled when she heard him scream, but fortunately, Xiong Jing returned to normal after a while, as if he hadn't screamed at all.

"What does the king say?" Outside the cabin, Yang Wenjun watched Meng Zhengyu withdraw with a straight face, and naturally asked.

"What does the king say?" Meng Zhengyu smiled bitterly. "The king had long expected that someone would make money to buy Jane, and the king ......" Meng Zhengyu couldn't say some words, so he could only say: "The king said: Those who violate the law will be arrested." The people of the DPRK will definitely implement it, and at the end of next month, Yingdu will open a foreign court. ”

"There's nothing wrong with that." The money to buy Jian Yang Wenjun also heard of it, "How can you waste food because of choking?" ”

"Is this a choking waste?!" Meng Zhengyu was furious, "How can a person who is not plucked, virtuous and talentless be a native of Yingdu, if he is rich, he can be a countryman, and the foreign dynasty is full of businessmen." Merchants became courtiers, the richer the rich and the poorer the poorer, and the state of Chu would be chaotic. ”

Meng Zhengyu adhered to the courtesy of the monarch and ministers in front of Xiong Jing, but in front of Dazai Yang Wenjun, he had no such concerns. He was extremely angry at the king's attack on the Grand Duke of the world, he was the one who longed for the Grand Duke of the world and hoped for the great harmony of the world. How can the king think that the world is his own selfishness, and he will kill the people who are public in the world, where is his benevolence?

"I thought that if the rich became poor, the poor became rich, and the noble and the lowly lost their dignity, the Chu State would be in chaos." Yang Wenjun said with a smile, he is not an idealist like Meng Zhengyu, he is a realist. The people of the dynasty are obviously beneficial to many county princes in the Chu State, and he naturally supports it, as for the matter of making money buy Jane, it is good to prohibit it as a pretense.

"But that's just one thing." Yang Wenjun made a round, "I'm not Zuo Yin, I'm not familiar with the law, and I don't know the harm of using money to buy Jane." ”

"Please Dazai admonishes the king, those who are rich and unkind must not be a countryman." Meng Zhengyu suddenly looked deeply at Yang Wenjun.

"Don't dare, don't dare." Yang Wenjun hurriedly avoided excuse himself: "Although the king is young, his ambition is strong, I don't dare to persuade him." ”

"If you don't persuade it, the society is in danger!" Thinking of those who rely on money to become rich and unkind, Meng Zhengyu's heart almost dripped blood. It was May, looking at the surging ditch water, and suddenly he remembered Dr. Sanlu Qu. Dr. Qu bouldering jumped into the Miluo River, what about himself? If the king doesn't listen to the advice, the outer dynasties of Yingdu are all people who buy Jane with money, will he also jump into Huaishui?

"The edict clearly stated: The election of county people should not make money to buy simple ......" Chen County County Ya, in response to the appointment, hundreds of nobles and heroes gathered together. Chen County used to be a state, and according to the system, there were 125 parties, and each party elected one person, that is, 125 people. At this time, it was four or five hundred people who were vying for the one hundred and twenty-five.

There are those who rely on identity and qualifications - the so-called five households and one ratio, five to one Lu, four Lu and one family, five ethnic groups and one party, five parties and one state, five states and one township, the party has a party leader, the state has a governor, and the township has a doctor; There are clouds: five neighbors, five neighbors are li, four miles are drunk, five are contemptible, five are disdainful, five counties are sui, disdain is right, the county has a county magistrate, and then there is a doctor.

The township system was established in the Western Zhou Dynasty and continues to this day. Dangzheng, governors, township doctors, disdain, county magistrates, and Sui doctors, these people in Yingdu can't do it, and the people of Chen County must do it, otherwise they will never be able to raise their heads in Chen County in the future.

There are also those who rely on their wealth - 200 yuan a Jane, 300 Yuan a Jane, or even a thousand dollars a Jane, 2,000 Yuan a Jane, and 3,000 Yuan a Jane, and the price is getting higher and higher. According to the old system, there were 500 households per party and every party, but the population multiplied for nearly 1,000 years, and there were already 1,000 households per party and every contempt. One simple three thousand yuan, if you want to buy a Chinese person with money, it will cost one hundred and fifty gold. One hundred and fifty gold, ordinary businessmen will never be able to take it, only big businessmen have such ability.

"The county duke, the county and the county all make money, how can my Chen County be exempted?" It was Dongguo Chen Mu who spoke, five days ago, the price of a simple was only a hundred yuan, and after he made a move, he made a move of three hundred, five hundred, and one thousand yuan, and in a few days, he raised the simple price to a terrifying three thousand yuan, and it was a foregone conclusion that he became a countryman. The county minister summoned and said that he could not buy Jane with money, but he thought that the opponent had bought off the county prince and wanted to dismantle his own platform.

"Yes, yes. This is the case in other counties, what can I do in Chen County? As soon as Chen Mu's words came out, everyone echoed them. Each party chooses one person, even if Chen Mu comes out with 3,000 gold and one Jane, it is harmless to them, and they are happy to have a bird like Chen Mu.

"Do you know that Zuo Yin is inspecting this matter?" Seeing that the county Cheng Chen Bi was a little unable to suppress the scene, Peng Zong jumped out. "I have heard that Zuo Yin once said that he wanted to admonish the king and not do the government of the people."

"Can't you do the politics of the people?" Some people saw some hope, but many more shook their heads. "The king has decreed, how can it be changed."

"Exactly, for this matter, I have already made a lot of money, how can I not do it?" Within the county office, four or five hundred people chattered and quarreled, and the vast majority of people did not want to see that the government of the people of the DPRK was not working, even including those who were bound to lose. If you lose, you are not afraid, and you will come back next time, but you are afraid that there will be no hope at all and there will be no next time.

"Gentlemen," when everyone was almost noisy, Peng Zong said again. "The king went to Daliang and only stayed overnight in Chen Ying. If you want to do the government of the people, you must not let people shout all over the city from today to tomorrow, '3,000 dollars and one Jane'. The loser should not tell the king, saying that so-and-so made money to buy Jane, even if the king asked, he had to say that there was no such thing as making money buy Jane. Did you know? ”

"Know." Four or five hundred people replied loudly, with some smiles after speaking.

"Dare to ask Sima, if anyone knows that the king is coming to Chen Ying and wants to tell the king about it, what can I do?" Someone asked in the laughter, this man is a fat man, or a crooked mouth, although he wears silk brocade, he does not look like a good person.

"What?" Peng Zong glared at him. "Ask me what I can, but I want to be a member of this country?"

"This ......" Peng Zong is the Sima of the Chu army, and the people in the army are full of murderous spirit, and the fat man starts to scratch his head as soon as he glares at him.

"Are you talking about Dr. Xiguojiang? When this old madman learns that the king has come to Chen Ying, he will try to ask for a meeting......"

"What is the old madman afraid of? Pour him wine for a day, let him get drunk for a day, how can he ask to see the king? The most feared person is the gentleman of the private school in the west of the city, who is literate and knowledgeable, and knows that when the king comes to Chen Ying, he will definitely write to the king......"

Summoning these people here is just a warning, what they should do, who they need to be careful about, Peng Zong did not spit out a word. When he saw that things were on the right track, he immediately threw them out. The goal has been achieved, how to do it is their business, and they must not defile the county government because of this. The candidate who understood what to do left, but Zheng Rong, the son of the Zheng family, stayed.

The Zheng family has a lot of power in Chen County, and Peng Zongxiao asked, "What is the matter with the prince of the prince?" ”

Zheng Rong didn't answer first, and then said: "The king stays in Chen, or sees the old man, can my father ......?"

"This matter ......" Peng Zong didn't expect Zheng Rong to ask for this matter, he felt that it was a little strange.

"Afterwards, the Zheng family will be grateful." Zheng Rong hurriedly said, "I am willing to accept a hundred gold." ”

"Just when you see the king, there is nothing else to ask for?" There is already a lot of gold, which makes Peng Zong even more confused.

"Nothing more!" Zheng Rong shook again.

"I will make a decision on this matter after reporting to the county magistrate." Peng Zong couldn't think of anything, so he had to agree first.

Summoning the elders of the country to see the monarch is the weekly system. If the time comes, the monarch should also give a banquet to the village elders to show his respect for them. It is a pity that the Spring and Autumn Festival has collapsed, hundreds of years of erosion and war, this system is the same as the township system, and there are almost no traces of it in reality.

In the afternoon, the county magistrate Chen Jian, Peng Zong, the county Sima Chen Ke, the county Cheng Chen Bi, and a few village elders who were not village elders, as well as some sword-wielding scholars, county soldiers, and ordinary people had already stood at Chen Yingdongguo Wharf to greet the king.

At the time of Pize, there are Pu and Lotus. There is a beautiful person, and the injury is like that. Outside the east gate of Chen County is the lake, the lake connects the chasm, in May into summer, the lotus flowers in the lake are in bloom, the wind blows, the lotus leaves of the pu grass rise and fall again and again, and the flowers are full of flowers.

The scenery was beautiful, but everyone looked far away, hoping that the king's boat would appear sooner. There is Lu Lijing and there is no Lu Lijing immediately distinguished, Chen Jian looked at the eyes of the flowers, Peng Zong handed Lu Lijing over, he pointed to a small point in the south and said, "The king is here." ”

"The king is here?" Chen Jian didn't know how to use the Lu Li mirror, and it wasn't until he closed one eye that he saw the feathers on the boat in the distance.

The feathers are tied to the bamboo pieces, similar to the chicken feather pole, but this chicken feather pole is particularly long, and they will shake and tremble with the bumps of the chariot and war boat. Through Lu Lijing, Chen Jian saw the feather hanging diagonally on the boat, but this was not a boat team, just two war boats that were quickly heading towards the dock.

"The king should be behind him, this is the great wing war boat of the boat master." Peng Zong was well-informed and recognized two big wings.

The big wing was extremely fast, and it took a moment to turn from the chasm to the East Lake, and only then did everyone see its full picture: the extremely long body of the boat, the bow of the boat protruding forward against common sense, until it was submerged under the water, and a strange eye was painted on it. Countless oars stretched out from the body were sliding neatly, and these thin oars were like the feet of a warship, supporting the entire warship forward.

Fast, so fast that the whole war boat seems to be running wild on the water, but what is more surprising than fast is the coincidence, the war boat that is getting closer and closer waved its tail, and then leaned sideways to the dock, the boat is twelve zhang long, and the water is one zhang high, seeing such a behemoth sweeping over, Chen Jian and others hurriedly retreated in exclamation. When everyone's hearts were raised, they quietly stopped less than five feet from the pier, and the chain of the wow-la-la anchor sounded, and the cable was thrown to the shore.

"Ou Gui, the official of the boat master, was ordered by the servant to inform the county Yin that the king will stay with Chen Ying tonight." A boat official dressed in iron armor came down from the boat and told Chen Jian where the king would stay after saluting, so that Chen County could be prepared.

"Respectfully obeyed." Chen Jian replied. Chen Ying has three palaces, but he didn't expect the king not to go to Zhanghuatai or Xiangzicheng, but to stay in Chen Ying, and his heart suddenly rose.
