Chapter Seventy-Three: The bewildered Shangguan Begonia
Ye Jun soon got the news of the Snow Mountain faction through the flying pigeon.
Although the strength of the Snow Mountain faction is not strong, there are also some good players in the rivers and lakes, which can increase the strength of the West Factory. And accepting Bai Zizi is also an unexpected joy.
Bai Zi was arrogant and arrogant, and Ye Jun originally thought that this old boy would be difficult to subdue. What I didn't expect was that after this old boy was hit by Brother Dog, he learned from the pain and saw his true level clearly.
Although Bai Zizai's martial arts are not very good, his skills are profound, and he is also a great grandmaster-level powerhouse, as long as he cultivates a few powerful martial arts, his strength will naturally increase day by day. Ye Jun got the news and immediately issued an order to seal Bai Zizi as a thousand households in the West Factory.
Today, there are three thousand households in the West Factory, namely Yue Buqun, Brother Dog, and Bai Zizai. Needless to say, Brother Dog, the other two are both great grandmasters, which is enough to see the strength of Xichang, which can sweep the world's sects, even Shaolin in its heyday can be beaten.
Through the monitoring of spies from all over the country, after Zhang San and Li Si went down the snow mountain, they went straight overseas. It's just that the speed of the two boats is very fast, the spies are not well prepared, and they are worried about being discovered, so they have lost the traces of each other in the vast sea, and they have not found the location of Xia Ke Island so far.
However, Ye Jun is not worried about this, since Xia Ke Island invites all the heads to go to Xia Ke Island, it will definitely come as scheduled in half a year.
Ye Jun put the affairs of Xia Ke Island behind him for the time being, and did his best to deal with the affairs of the imperial court.
Three months flew by.
Late at night, a figure sneaked into the palace and was taken to the imperial study.
"Bo'an, I haven't seen you for three months, you've lost a lot of weight, you've worked hard! Bestow the seat. Ye Jun waved his hand and asked Cao Zhengchun to bring the chair.
This person is Wang Yangming. Three months ago, Wang Yangming received an order from Ye Jun to check the number of acres of land in the country. In the past three months, Wang Yangming has quickly run north and south of the river, and finally has a harvest. Now that things are almost done, Wang Yangming didn't even return home as soon as he returned to the capital, and immediately rushed to report his work. This is the wise subordinate.
"Emperor Xie cares, the minister lives up to the emperor's grace, this is the number of acres of land in the country that has been checked in the past three months, please take a look at it!" Wang Yangming presented the holy decree that had been prepared a long time ago.
In fact, in the past three months, Wang Yangming has also passed the news back through Jinyiwei and the spies of the West Factory every once in a while. So Ye Jun already knew about it.
After a rough flip through the folds, there was not much discrepancy, he smiled: "You have worked hard in this matter, the Ming treasury is empty, just like a man whose body has been hollowed out, it seems to be strong, but there is not enough blood to nourish it, it will only weaken step by step, and now, you have confiscated the country's acres of land and returned the acres to the treasury, which is to give Daming a blood transfusion, and the merit is immeasurable!" ”
"It's all the emperor's sage, Weichen is just doing some errands, it's not worth mentioning!" Wang Yangming is smart, can do things, and can speak. However, this is also what he is saying.
There have been people who have changed the law in the past dynasties, such as Wang Anshi of the previous dynasty, why it is difficult to succeed is that the courage to be the emperor is not enough, the means are not enough, and the means of changing the law are not enough, and the means of implementation are not enough, and they are restricted everywhere. But today's saint is resolute and strong-handed. In the past three months, whenever Wang Yangming went, he had already sent information to the Dragon Guardian Villa, and he only needed to go to the homes of various squires and tyrants to ask for land. If anyone doesn't agree, there will be a fan from the West Factory immediately to the door.
In this way, Wang Yangming holds the holy decree in one hand and a knife in the other, who dares to disagree?
Ye Jun bowed slightly, among them, the biggest credit was not Wang Yangming, but the Dragon Guardian Villa. Today's Dragon Protector Villa is in the hands of Shangguan Haitang, and it has exerted the greatest efficiency. Shangguan Haitang was originally responsible for intelligence work, and there is no information that Hulong Villa does not know, and it is Shangguan Haitang's cooperation that can inventory the number of acres of land in the country in just three months, otherwise, every place has to be falsely committed to the local officials and squires, and it may not be possible to do it well in three years.
Shangguan Begonia!
Ye Jun's index finger lightly clasped the table and was silent.
Shangguan Haitang has made such a great contribution, how should he be rewarded?
Before, after getting rid of the Shenhou, Shangguan Haitang also made great contributions. However, Shangguan Haitang was obviously hit by the rebellion of the Shenhou that time, so he refused the reward. The reason why he took over the Dragon Protector Villa was because he didn't want the Dragon Protector Villa that Shenhou had worked so hard to establish would be gone.
"Lao Cao, how do you say to reward Shangguan Begonia?" Ye Jun suddenly raised his head and asked.
Lao Cao smiled, his face showed a hint of strangeness, and said: "Shangguan girl's status is already a master, and if she wants to go further, she can only be crowned a king and a marquis, but how can there be a reason for a woman to be knighted?" Unless the mother is ...... in the world"
Lao Cao didn't say much, there was only one meaning, except for the king and the marquis, only the status of the concubine was higher than Shangguan Haitang.
Ye Jun was stunned.
Who knows, Wang Yangming also had a deep expression of approval, and agreed again and again: "Gonggong Cao really has a clever plan, sooner or later there will be problems with the intelligence system of the Dragon Protector Villa in the hands of outsiders, if the Shangguan girl becomes a mother, there will definitely be no problems." ”
"This matter will be discussed later!" Ye Jun waved his hand.
Ye Jun knew that the character of Shangguan Haitang was loyal and patriotic, and she would definitely not refuse if she was canonized as a concubine. But this thing made Ye Jun feel really weird.
Wang Yangming and Lao Cao glanced at each other, exchanged glances, and seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding.
After talking for a while, seeing that the sky was bright, Wang Yangming got up and retired.
Ye Jun waved his hand and asked him to go back and rest. Wang Yangming is an ordinary person after all, and it is time to sleep well after such a hard time during this time.
Now, with the improvement of his strength, Ye Jun is still full of energy without resting for a few days. The same is true for Lao Cao, as a great master, it doesn't matter if he doesn't rest for a few days, otherwise, at Lao Cao's age, he is responsible for so many things every day, and he has to stay up all night with the emperor, and he would have a cerebral thrombosis long ago.
After a long time, the moon set and the stars shifted, and the sky brightened.
Ye Jun ate something casually and ordered the court.
Wang Yangming is back, and the inventory of acres has been completed, so it is natural to do the next stage.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, after seeing Wang Yangming, gritted their teeth with hatred. The fields and properties in the names of these people were basically confiscated by Wang Yangming during this time. At most, 300 acres of land were left, how could they not hate Wang Yangming?
Wang Yangming ignored these gazes, and after respectfully recounting the recent achievements in the court, he suddenly said: "The minister wants to join the emperor!" ”
Suddenly, the audience fell into an eerie silence. Everyone looked at Wang Yangming with incredible eyes.
Is this kid floating? Dare to join the emperor?
Although we also scolded the emperor, we scolded it in our hearts.
Who knows, Wang Yangming said to himself: "The emperor is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, but he has no children under his name, and he is worthy of his ancestors." The emperor's many sons and grandchildren are the blessing of the country and the blessing of the society. But now, there is only one concubine in the harem, and it is difficult to take on the important task, so the concubine should be selected in time. The owner of the Shangguan Zhuang of the Dragon Guardian Villa is loyal, looks like a flower and a moon, and has a unique talent, can enter the harem, and the mother is the world! ”
The old face of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military twitched, are you joining the emperor? Are you letting the emperor choose a concubine, and the emperor can't be beautiful?
Wang Yangming, a villain, really can't believe what he says, he can't believe half a word!
And Shangguan Haitang in the corner is even more confused?
Who am I? Where am I? What should I do?
