Chapter 510: Stalemate
In the sky above Yuhang Mansion, the dark clouds were overwhelming, and the rumbling thunder reminded people that the first rainstorm of summer was coming.
Chen Zhanggang saw off a guest, and when he turned around, he saw Dong Ce coming over, as if he was going to go out.
"Owner, this thunderstorm is about to fall, it's better to go out less."
"I want to too, but after reading today's report from Jiuliutang, I don't have time." After Dong Ce finished speaking, he picked up an oil-paper umbrella and went out.
Chen Zhangfa was stunned for a while, and then hurriedly ran to Dong Ce's desk and picked up the letter from Jiuliutang.
Ordinary people can't understand this letter at all, but Chen Zhang can now fully grasp it, and at this glance, his face instantly turned pale.
"After doing so much, can't you stop it?" Chen Chang didn't know, because he would never settle things with such a peaceful method of bundling interests.
But after listening to Dong Ce's plan, he felt that it was very feasible, after all, the scholars were the most afraid of taking risks, and when the situation did not develop to the point that they had no choice, they usually waited and watched.
Now, the imperial court is showing its strength, although everything is to accumulate fame for the queen mother, and then be enthroned like a moon by the stars, instead of asking for the throne herself, which are two completely different consequences.
The former is in compliance with the mandate of heaven and is supported by the people, while the latter is just seeking to usurp the throne.
To accumulate fame, it is necessary to reform, to change the law, starting from the implementation of rice, opening the imperial examination, building the rule of law and the three courts, and then to supporting the compulsory education of the state religion, so that the student temples bloom everywhere, and the state capital and city system have been cancelled continuously, and finally, the national teacher actually has to reach out to the tax!
Before, whether it is for the people or for the scholars, it is all good, but the last one, the people are happy, but the scholars are broken!
Of course, there are only a few people who know that it was the national teacher, Chen Zhang is one of them, outsiders don't know at all, but people are not stupid, there are people in the palace, why the Queen Mother wants to change the law, they still received a little news!
Spread into the mu, a good trick to draw salary, can the scholars be comfortable?
"How do the disciples of the national teacher do things? How can you tell the Queen Mother about it at this juncture? Chen Zhang was furious.
What Chen Zhang didn't know was that he was in a hurry, and some people were more anxious than him, and the most powerful of them was the Empress Dowager Yin herself!
She just asked Cao Luorong how to use the fastest way to get more people's support, in addition, there have been many wars and chaos recently, and the population has dropped sharply, what method is used to make the people have more children and more support?
Undoubtedly, it is the best trick to spread the ding into the mu, and Cao Luorong also thinks that she can mention it, but she didn't expect that after these words came out, it would be difficult to collect the water!
Jingli has a very strict control over the land tax, and few people dare to hide the land privately, besides, because Taizu gave the land to the scholar clan at the beginning, how many of the families are recorded, where can you hide it?
But Jiangnan is different, because King Huan killed the Quartet and killed too many scholars, which made it very unclear who belonged to the land!
But the Queen Mother didn't care about this, she thought of a compromise solution, that is, to let the Shi clan sell land to the people, and the people who had no money could borrow it from Wansanqian Village, and then apportioned it into the mu.
In addition, the Queen Mother plans to expand Luoyang, the land shop in this new city, and intends to give it to the land sellers.
If you don't do business, you can also rent, with the situation that it is difficult to find a shop in Luoyang now, this is simply a chicken that can lay golden eggs, how many scholars want to be red.
Quietly people's art garden, how big is it? The annual income is more terrifying than the thousands of acres, and if you look at the horse farm, you will almost vomit blood with envy!
If Huang Zhongqin hadn't been a little related to the royal family, I'm afraid he would have been destroyed and the horse farm would have been taken for himself.
Obviously, the Queen Mother wants to let the scholars focus on the shopping mall and hand over the land to the people, so that she should not offend anyone.
Although her series of measures are just trying to take Luoyang, not falling short of the whole country in an instant.
But if this is the case, can other people's hearts not be barren?
Perhaps, she just forced the Jiangnan Shi clan to make the final choice, she couldn't afford to wait.
In addition, most of the first batch of imperial examination jinshi went to Guoan, and they were directly released after studying, and this batch of people who are ready to go to Jiangnan is also going to!
All actions, in the eyes of the Jiangnan Shi clan, are aimed at them, tell them not to hesitate, whether it is war or peace, give a word!
Heavy rain has finally fallen.
The entire Yuhang Mansion was hazy, making it difficult to see clearly.
In the Yue Palace, Wu Guogong looked at the old man lying on the bed, motionless, only babbling.
"How long?" Wu Guogong asked calmly.
"It's been two years, and since my father fell down from a stroke, I haven't gotten up again." It was Huang Langjing who spoke.
"It's been two years, why don't you mention it?" Wu Guogong was really angry.
Huang Langjing arched his hand and said: "Brothers, don't let me!" They said that as long as his father lived, he could not spread the news of his stroke, otherwise Hangzhou would be in chaos. ”
"Mess! They didn't make the mess yet. Wu Guogong turned around angrily and said to Huang Langjing: "What about them? ”
"I'm going to the barracks." Huang Langjing said ashamedly.
"Seriously!" Wu Guogong frowned.
Huang Langjing said again: "When they learned about the Queen Mother's measures, they knew that they couldn't delay it any longer, not to mention, the national teacher is here, and if they don't want to become the second Yingzhou, they must start first, so my nephew immediately invited Lin Bo to you." ”
"How dare they!" Wu Guogong laughed angrily.
"Lin Bo, if you don't make a move now, I'm afraid it'll be too late!" Huang Langjing reminded.
Wu Guogong shook his head and said: "Don't worry, let's see, who is on their side, and you don't want to participate in the rest of the matter, otherwise it will definitely implicate you." ”
Wu Guogong did not stay long, and after instructing Huang Langjing, he immediately left the palace.
When he got out of the palace gate, as soon as Wu Guogong got into the carriage, he immediately said to the other person in the car: "The national teacher is an unknown prophet, be a true god!" ”
"Don't dare to be." Dong Ce waved his hand, and after the carriage was moving, he continued: "This morning, it happened that my people saw the fourth prince, the sixth prince and the eighth prince meet in the palace, and then left together, so I arrived at your mansion. ”
Wu Guogong was a little stunned, he also sent someone to keep an eye on Dong Ce, and he knew very well that he was definitely not the only one, I am afraid that the local scholars in Yuhang Mansion would send people to keep an eye on this national teacher, but even so, he still let people do things without receiving any rumors!
This national teacher on weekdays, except for busy accidents, he has not been in contact with anyone, why suddenly, the wind direction of the entire Hangzhou is moved by his mind, what kind of ability is this?
How did he know that after Dong Ce secretly entered Hangzhou, he began to pave the road, waiting for them to jump, what kind of god is this, as for King Yue's illness, it is simpler, he sent someone to tie up the family of Doctor Zhao in the palace, and he has already learned that King Yue has had a stroke!
In fact, this is not surprising, he has always heard that King Yue is lustful, and there are countless royal maidens, and now he is almost seventy, and he actually makes a flower girl book, which is ...... If he really wants to do it, Dong Ce really wants to learn from him!
The eldest son of King Yue died in battle, the second son, the third son died young, one broke his head on a horse and was stupid, and the rest of the concubines were all cautious people, knowing that the big things planned by their father had not begun, they did not dare to take the title of the son of the world, otherwise there would be no chance of redemption if the matter was lost.
Therefore, this is cheaper than the ninth son Huang Langjing, but this kid is not stupid, but he didn't dare to get involved in this turmoil, so he sent a secret letter to King Xian early, which can be regarded as proving that he has nothing to do with this matter.
On the same day, after Dong Ce revealed his identity in Dongjiang Forest Garden, King Xian also received the news a few days later, and immediately sent someone to send him a letter to inform him of the matter, so that Dong Ce could find a way to protect Huang Langjing.
How can Dong Ce do anything, he may not be able to protect himself.
Now, the three sons are not doing anything, and they all hope to usher in a big mess so that they can speak with their strength.
It can also be seen that they got a lot of land, perhaps, when King Huan killed the Shi clan in front, King Yue sent people to collect land in the back, otherwise what are these three guys anxious about?
"In less than three hours, the palace guards will all enter the city, plus some private soldiers of the family, it is not difficult to control Yuhang Mansion, if they have the upper hand, the rest of the families who are watching will definitely stand on their side." Wu Guogong said.
Dong Ce thought for a moment and said, "Isn't there a way for the Duke of Guo to integrate the Shi clan one step ahead of them?" ”
"If there were, the old man wouldn't be here." Wu Guogong shook his head and sighed.
"Old fox!" Dong Ce scolded secretly in his heart, and said with a smile on the surface: "Sooner or later, my Wansan Money Village will be spread all over the country, but if you want to be fast, you must invest more than money!" ”
Wu Guogong shook his head and smiled, and said, "The old man is not interested in this. ”
"Oh!" Dong Ce was just puzzled.
Wu Guogong obviously understood that Dong Ce was waiting for him to make an offer, so he said: "The old man wants to know, is it true about Dongying's silver mine?" ”
"I'm still thinking about it!" Dong Ce smiled bitterly in his heart, and said without hesitation: "Of course, I have taught someone to live in Dongying for twenty years, and I have traveled almost all over Dongying, which does record a few silver mines, originally, it was to give me the capital for the future rise of Yanjiao, but now that I have the support of the imperial court, I don't think I need it, but, who would think that there is a lot of money, if the Guogong is really interested, my ship has also been built two, you can take a step forward to see!" ”
Wu Guogong laughed and said, "When the time comes, the old man's people will have to rely more on the national teacher to take care of them!" ”
Silver, that is definitely hard currency, if Dongying really has a silver mine, and as Dong Ce said, he can buy half of Daning, how much wealth will it be? It can be enjoyed endlessly for generations to come!
After the two hit it off, Wu Guogong immediately sent someone to inform the scholars.
Dongjiang Forest Garden, the heavy rain could not stop the enthusiasm of these people in the slightest, and a fierce argument began!
"The Queen Mother's name is not right, drive away Your Majesty and let the Yin family control the court, what is the intention, why do you need to say more?"
"No, the Queen Mother is for Your Majesty's future, if she retreats into the background, then she will really give up the world to the Yin family, besides, I have received a secret letter from Ding Changshi, he advised me to be sure to assist the Queen Mother, and not to have different intentions!"
"Faith! I think it's fake, besides, whether Ding Changshi is on His Majesty's side or not! ”
"There's nothing to argue about, now the situation is very clear, after the Queen Mother took power, the Yin family didn't have much real power, almost the same as when His Majesty was in power, so doesn't it mean that the Queen Mother wants to pave the way for His Majesty's return?"
Wu Guogong and Dong Ce have never spoken, and they don't want to look at it, they just want to watch these people argue, and they don't mean to embarrass those who oppose the Queen Mother, they just want to delay!
As long as this group of people is here and continues to quarrel, then this battle will not be fought, as for the government guards, it is really whimsical to want to mobilize, because there are not many government guards left in the military camp outside the city, and seventy percent let Huang Langjing transfer to become and build a stadium privately!
Therefore, the private soldiers of this group of scholars are the real hidden danger, but they are now divided into two factions, who dares to take the liberty of making a move!
