For Jia Xu, he doesn't care too much about whether the third son is an official, whether he gets ahead, and it is of course good to be promoted to a high-ranking official, but Jia Xu attaches more importance to the interests of the family, and whether he Jia Xu can make the Jia family a famous family of the Han Dynasty is the top priority, and he must resolutely eradicate any behavior that endangers this interest.

He didn't want to intercede for his son and defend his son's official position, of course, he didn't want his son to be dismissed and imprisoned, he just hoped that his son would not be an official again, so as not to endanger his family's interests, and take care of the housework for himself, which is actually not bad.

King Han obviously understood his plight and solved this problem for him, which made Jia Xu very grateful.

At this time, Liu Jing smiled and handed him back the seal of the knighthood, Jia Xu took it back embarrassedly, he also felt that he was a little impulsive, how could he use the title to talk about things, wouldn't this be a threat to the King of Han?

"Your Highness, the old minister is ashamed!"

Liu Jing remembered something, and said with a smile: "In the past few days, Shangshu Province is discussing the matter of Zhitian and Juetian, this matter has been delayed for a long time, and if it is not implemented, the heroes will be chilled, and the lives of Wenchen will also be affected, I might as well reveal a little news to Jia Gong, the county marquis's Juetian is a hundred hectares of land, if Jia Gong takes a fancy to that piece of official land, you might as well sue me." ”

Jia Xu also smiled: "I do have an idea, can you seal my hometown." ”

"Jia Gong's hometown is Guzang in Wuwei County, but most of the Han people over there have moved to Lingzhou, and now they are mainly farming Qiang people, and it will take at least thirty or fifty years to restore the previous situation, so it is better for Jia Gong to be neighbors with me! How about sealing to Yongxian? ”

Jia Xu nodded and said, "It is the honor of the old minister to be a neighbor with His Royal Highness." ”

At this time, Liu Jing glanced at the jade box on the table, and said with a slight smile: "Jia Gong seems to have something else to do with me?" ”

"The old minister does have one more thing to find His Highness!"

Jia Xu took the jade box and handed it to Liu Jing, "This is the thing that the big shopkeeper of Baibao Zhai gave to my unfinished son at noon today, which is really surprising." ”

Jia Xu opened the box, and there were dozens of dazzling pearls inside, the size was like pigeon eggs, and the preciousness was abnormal, "Your Highness, this is fifty pearls, it is said that it is only a deposit, and there is a heavy thank you after the fact, the old minister does not dare to accept this heavy gift, and he does not want to participate in the government." ”

After speaking, Jia Xu pushed the pearl to Liu Jing, although the pearl was shining, but Liu Jing's heart slowly rose a wave of anger, of course he knew that Baibaozhai was the property of the Fei family, the Fei family was known as the first family in Shu in Liu Zhang's era, with huge family assets, not only a lot of land, but also operated the largest cloth shop and jewelry store in Shu, and its wealth was no less than that of the Tao family.

With the expansion of the Han Kingdom, the Fei family's industry flourished, and although it was restrained in terms of land annexation, the jewelry store became the largest store in the world.

Chang'an's Baibaozhai is the Fei family's industry, Liu Jing originally complained about the Fei family's refusal to give up the land in Shuzhong, and now Fei Guan secretly bribed Jia Xu, which made Liu Jing a little unbearable.

However, as a superior, one of the most important qualities is that joy and anger cannot be invisible, and Liu Jing gradually did it, he was angry in his heart, but he smiled lightly: "Do you want to give these pearls to me?" ”

Jia Xu sighed and said: "If His Royal Highness doesn't accept it, the old minister can only let the dog return it to the Fei family." ”

"I think it's better to return it to the Fei family, it's better that I don't know anything about this matter."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for understanding Wei Chen's distress."

Jia Xu knew very well that if King Han really accepted it, he would offend Fei Guan, and King Han knew about it, and then returned the pearl to the Fei family, which was the best way to deal with it.

Liu Jing got up and paced back and forth in the room, came to the window and looked out of the window, when he was in Jianye, Yu turned bluntly pointed out the shortcomings of the multi-phase system of the Han State, and the five-phase country served for too long, which affected the opportunities of other officials, and secondly, he was not a meritocracy, but to balance the interests of all parties.

In terms of talent, Fei Guan is far inferior to Ma Liang, Dong He is not as good as his son Dong Yun, and even Xu Shu is not as good as Pang Tong, so when the Battle of Hefei ended, he began to consider institutional changes.

After the decline of the late Han Dynasty, the disadvantages of the Three Princes and Nine Emperors system were undoubtedly revealed, and Cao Cao also began to reform, and the historical system of three provinces and six ministries was a reflection on the fall of the Han Dynasty, which gradually formed in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and finally matured in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

And Liu Jing also hopes to make the power check and balance each other, use the power of the Chinese book to check and balance the monarch's power, use the subordinates to check and balance the six departments of Shangshu, and use the imperial history supervision to check and balance the hundred officials.

After quelling the Hexi Rebellion, he officially began to reform, and it was inevitable to change the country, and even before he could think about how to change the phase, various private activities began.

"Your Highness, the old minister has a plan, I wonder if His Highness is willing to listen to it?"

Liu Jing turned around and said with a smile: "Jia Gong is my staff, how can I not listen to the staff's advice, Jia Gong, please say." ”

"Your Royal Highness, the old minister understands His Royal Highness's hard work, and fully supports His Highness's idea of transmutation, but the old minister believes that the multi-phase system is the product of the compromise between His Highness and the hundred officials, which is conducive to stimulating the enterprising spirit of the hundred officials, and is also conducive to the Han State to seize the world, so the old minister built yì, no matter how it changes, the foundation of the multi-phase system cannot be changed, and it is best to improve it, otherwise it will make the social stability of the Han Kingdom."

Jia Xu's hard persuasion made Liu Jing nod again and again, Liu Jing smiled: "I will not abolish the multi-phase system, and I will not radically change, as Jia Gong said, I will try to improve the multi-phase system, of course, I will not severely punish him because Fei Guan gave a heavy gift to Jia Gong, I still have this mind, but Fei Guan's actions on some fundamental issues also affect his future, I don't mean the gift-giving." ”

Jia Xu said in a low voice: "The old minister knows that His Royal Highness is referring to the issue of the Fei family's possession of land in Bashu. ”

"That's right, the so-called not broken and not established, the fief reward system has not been implemented for so many years, the fundamental reason is that the officials in Shuzhong are unwilling to give up their land in Bashu, and the Fei family has a worst head, actually occupying 10,000 hectares of land, I, the king of Han, only have 1,000 hectares of fiefdom, what does he want to do?

If it's ancestral land, it's just that, but most of their land is given by Liu Zhang, do I have to bear the consequences of Liu Zhang's indiscriminate reward? ”

Only then did Jia Xu understand that the real reason why Liu Jing wanted to move Fei Guan was because Fei Guan touched Liu Jing's fundamental principle on the land issue, and any lack of ability was only secondary.

"But isn't Your Highness planning to reuse Fei Yi?" Jia Xu still asked a little puzzled.

"I asked Fei Yi to be a Zhongshu Cheng because he has enough talent, but it doesn't mean that Fei Yi can enter the phase, there must be a prerequisite for becoming a minister in the future, that is, to obtain the qualification of 'Pingzhangshi under the door of the same Zhongshu', only by obtaining this qualification can he enter the phase, and if the Fei family's land is not removed, he will not want to enter the phase again."

．．．．．．．．．

Jia Xu left the Han Palace, and today's conversation with His Royal Highness the King of Han made him understand Liu Jing's bottom line, Liu Jing will never tolerate anyone owning a huge amount of land, he can indeed understand that the Han Dynasty is almost going to extinction in the end, the fundamental reason is that the emperor's relatives and the powerful clan have annexed too much land, resulting in the death of most of the yeoman farmers in the Han Dynasty and become the vassals of the powerful clan.

Liu Jing obviously learned the bitter lesson of the decline and fall of the Han Dynasty, now just because he has not unified the world, he still needs to compromise with local wealthy families like the Fei family, once he seizes the world and sits firmly in the country, I am afraid it is time for him to settle the account, with Liu Jing's iron fist and will, I don't know how many wealthy families will be ruined.

Jia Xu sighed secretly, he understood why Liu Jing sued him so many things, especially the Fei family, just hoping that he would solve this thorny problem for him.

How easy is it for the Fei family to give up thousands of hectares of fertile land, and how can he persuade Fei Guan?

．．．．．．．

In the afternoon of the next day, Jia Xu walked to the East Market as if he was taking a leisurely walk, and the East Market was located outside the East City Gate, which was a large market side by side with the West Market, covering an area of thousands of hectares, the West Market faced the Western Regions, and the East Market mainly faced the Han Kingdom.

The East Market is as prosperous as the West Market, and the types of goods are more abundant, grain, tea, cattle, sheep and livestock, jewelry, porcelain, silk, cloth, bronze, ironware and other bulk materials and luxury and expensive goods are all available, many Hu merchants in the West Regions are selling goods in the West Market, and go to the East Market to purchase goods, mainly silk and porcelain.

The westernmost street in the East Market is a concentration of jewelry, with dozens of large and small jewelry stores, and a large store covering an area of ten acres is the largest jewelry store in Chang'an, Baibao Zhai, which is the industry of the Fei family.

Jia Xu walked up the steps with his hands in his hand, entered the store, and the two guys who received him at the door saw that he was dark and thin, old and old, and wearing a fine linen green cloth robe, and a white-washed flat scarf.

They glanced at each other, and one of the fellows stepped forward and smiled dryly: "This old man, are you in the wrong place?" ”

Jia Xu glanced at him, squinted and asked, "Then where do you say I should go?" ”

"There's a Hong Leong jewelry store at the intersection, and I think that's where my husband is going."

Feng Leong jewelry store only sells some silver and copper jewelry, the price is very cheap, it is aimed at the bottom of Chang'an, this is obviously to ridicule Jia Xu for being poor and not knowing his identity, Jia Xu has been in the world for a long time, and he has seen too much of this kind of snobbery, he is not annoyed, he still smiled and said: "I am here to find you Feng Da shopkeeper, is he there?" ”

The two guys were startled and asked cautiously, "Isn't my husband a relative of my family's big shopkeeper?" ”

"I'm not his relative, I'm here to pay him back something, if you two are willing to do it for you, I'll give it to you."

Jia Xu took out the jade box and handed it to a man, "I won't go in, so you don't have to drive me to the Hong Leong jewelry store." ”

The two guys are knowledgeable people, although they don't know what is in the jade box, but just look at this jade box is crystal delicate, obviously carved with good green jade, they were startled, and hurriedly stopped Jia Xu, "Old man, please stay, this kind of valuable thing, it is best to hand it over to the big shopkeeper, we dare not take over." ”

A guy rushed in, and in a moment, Feng Yi, the big shopkeeper of Baibao Zhai, hurriedly came, but he was a well-informed person, although he didn't know Jia Xu, but he recognized the jade box in Jia Xu's hand, which was the thing he gave to Jia Ji at noon yesterday, and there were fifty pearls worth thousands of gold inside, and he immediately guessed who this old man was.

hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Could it be that Mr. Fei is Mr. Jia Ge?" ”

Jia Xu nodded, "The old decay is Jia Xu!" ”

The two guys were so frightened that they almost fainted, this old man turned out to be Jia Xu, the elder of the Han Kingdom, who was the person that even the King of Han had to respect, the two guys slapped themselves in the mouth, begging bitterly, "We have no eyes, and beg the elder to forgive us for being rude." ”

Jia Xu smiled faintly and said: "I'm so old, of course I won't take this kind of trivial matter to heart, but I kindly remind you that Princess Tao also wears a cloth skirt and a silver hairpin, don't drive her to Fenglong jewelry store." ”

The two guys were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and the shopkeeper Feng glared at them fiercely, and then bowed to Jia Xu and said with a smile: "Please come into the inner hall and sit down for a while, and let me explain the reason for this jade box." ”

Of course, Jia Xu came for something, so he nodded and smiled: "It's okay, I heard that your tea here is good, so I'll disturb the big shopkeeper." ”
