The fourth generation of the children of the Jia family has become biological sons, and there are many fifth-generation children in the second mansion of Ningrong at present.

Even the old lady, although she was unhappy with the old man, her body was extremely healthy, and her spirit was quite full, and according to the old man's medical skills, she could live to be more than 90 or even 100 years old.

When the eldest lord sat on the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, the momentum of the Jia family reached its peak, even if the eldest lord inexplicably told the old man to resign, because Lian Er entered the cabinet in time, although the momentum of the Jia family was not as good as when it was at its peak, it was still the top magnate in the capital.

The outside world disturbed the eldest lord and was not interested, and when he understood all the content of "Xuanwu Zhengong" to build the foundation and cultivate the gods, more than half a year had passed.

"I'm going to go for a walk!"

On this day, when Lian Er returned home, the eldest lord sent someone to call him and said straight to the point.

"Master, isn't this appropriate?"

Lian Er was taken aback and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid I'm afraid that I will be uneasy!" ”

"What the hell is going on with me?"

The eldest lord said disdainfully: "Lao Tzu has resigned, do you still have to accept the current appointment, there is no such reason, this matter is decided!" ”

"Which junior does the master plan to take with him?"

Lian Er also knew that he couldn't stop it, so he had to continue to ask: "We have to let us know in our hearts!" ”

"Bring none!"

The eldest man sneered: "Don't think I don't know, what cool things those boys said in the back house, Lao Tzu is too lazy to pay attention to these, and he doesn't want to be affected!" ”

One by one, the ladies of the back house looked at the children like eyeballs, for fear that they would suffer from the eldest master, and the eldest lord would not be too lazy to serve.

Lian Er's face was full of embarrassment and helplessness, and when he saw that the eldest master insisted, he didn't continue to persuade him.

Three days later, the eldest lord left the capital without notice, and left the capital directly with Mrs. Xing, wandering around outside.

It's not that he has feelings for Mrs. Xing, no matter how he says it, they have lived together for decades, Mrs. Xing's background has always been criticized, don't think that he doesn't know that some people secretly have been laughing at this matter, and even the wife who married the junior has been affected.

Anyway, Mrs. Xing has no biological children, so the eldest lord simply took her away, saving her from having to suffer a nest in the Hou Mansion, and it is not good if there are too many people in the family, there are too many inexplicable.

The eldest lord took Mrs. Xing to run around aimlessly, and at first he paid special attention to it today, for fear that the eldest lord would have something bad to do.

After a long time, he found that he was too careful, the eldest lord was very 'well-behaved', and he never did anything with the identity of the 'former cabinet chief' when he went out, and with his strength and martial arts, he didn't need to rely on any identity to scare people.

Gradually, I don't have the heart to pay attention to it now, just ask the embroidery guard to look at the point, and I haven't been putting too much energy on the big man who goes out to play.

As the eldest lord left the court, the situation in the court began to be chaotic again after a long time, and various interest groups appeared on the scene, striving for greater interests.

They were suppressed too hard by the old man before, and at the same time lost a lot of interests, and now that the old man has resigned, they naturally want to jump out to make up for the previous losses, and also get more benefits and benefits.

The original Qingming officialdom gradually became turbid, and various demon moths began to appear in the place.

He doesn't care about this today, and if he wants to, he can easily purge officialdom, but in this way, the authority of the cabinet will be greatly enhanced, which is not a happy situation today.

As for the gradual collapse of the situation below, this is not an uncontrollable trouble, as long as it is maintained within a limited range, it is not a big deal for today.

It's a pity that today is too optimistic, and at the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival that year, the cruel facts slapped the present and the imperial court several times.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival in Beijing, the number of missing or abducted children in the capital is hundreds!

Not only that, most of them were children of wealthy families, and on the second day, Shuntianfu was blocked by the panicked nobles, demanding that Shuntianfu solve the case as soon as possible and find the abducted children in their family.

This incident also caused an uproar in the court, and even today it is alarmed.

Check, be sure to find out!

Feeling that he was slapped in the face, he was furious, and Jia Enhou had such a big basket less than half a year after leaving office, and his face was really embarrassing.

It's just a pity that no matter how the Shuntianfu Yamen traced it, except for a few children from civilian families who had gone missing, the rest of the children disappeared, as if they had never appeared.

For a time, the atmosphere in the mansions of many powerful people in the capital was gloomy, and the entire mansion was shrouded in a rich haze.

The eldest lord didn't get the news until half a month later, and he thought of a certain possibility in his heart, but finally shook his head and felt that he didn't dig deeper.

It is said that during his reign, the scum of the mixed society was cleaned up quite cleanly, and all the people who committed crimes were caught, at least most of the criminals entered the labor camps.

Otherwise, during the period when the eldest lord was in power, both the officialdom and the folk atmosphere were clear, and the eldest lord spent a lot of energy on governance.

According to his thoughts, the capital, as the foot of the Son of Heaven, is naturally the focus of the cleanup, and almost every year there are several raids and arrests, and all those who are too out-of-the-box are basically put into labor camps, even if there are still fish that leak out, they can't make many waves.

But the capital was abducted by only 100 children overnight, and the meaning here is not simple.

It's just that the eldest master is in Jiangnan at this time, even if he wants to find out, he lacks skills, and it is estimated that he is not happy to come forward today.

Forget it, it's good that these things are handled by the imperial court and the local government, and if you don't have a good relationship with yourself, it's better not to stimulate today's sensitive nerves.

The eldest lord didn't come to Jiangnan casually, his destination at this time was Jinling, intending to gather the strength of the Jinling people and open the prelude to foreign development.

At this time, the boundary of the south of the Yangtze River, the prosperous and splendid commercial atmosphere is very strong, the goods on the market are dazzling, and the merchants from all over the world gather together, and there is a little bit of the heyday of the gathering of all countries.

It's just a pity that the follow-up governance methods of the eldest lord have not yet been rolled out, and the pattern of the land south of the Yangtze River has not completely changed to industrialization, so it can only be said that the beginning of industrialization has been opened.

Gossip aside, after arriving in Jinling, there was no such bullshit struggle for power among wealthy families, and the eldest lord easily controlled the power of the Jia family in Jinling.

Of course, after asking in private, the eldest lord also determined that these wealthy clansmen had completely lost their ambition to open up overseas, and they were very satisfied with their current rich life and did not want to take any risks.

After all, at present, Jiangnan is prosperous and splendid, and it is indeed difficult for them to give up a good life, but they have to go overseas to overcome obstacles and start over, which is a bit difficult.

In this way, the eldest lord also basically determined the minds of the Jinling clansmen, and also set his future course of action, the struggle to go to sea can only rely on himself, and the clansmen can only help transport logistics materials, as for the rest, don't count on it.

The eldest lord was not discouraged, and the Jinling people chose to save him trouble in the future.

When it comes to the establishment of the island in the open sea, there is no need to give any benefits to the clansmen, and the troubles that can be solved with economic interests do not need to take out the title and land at all, which is also a good thing.

The eldest lord lived in Jinling, began to command the fleet controlled by the Jinling people, and began to slowly infiltrate the South China Sea islands he fancied.

At the moment, he didn't think about going to sea for the time being, so naturally he didn't need to make much movement, so he would first get a few large manors in the coastal land, and then use the manor as a base to slowly expand outward.

The so-called tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and the old man has not been able to really enjoy peace.

It was as if a large interest group had emerged in Daqi that specialized in abducting children, starting in the capital during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and then spreading outward, first with frequent cases of abduction of children in cities and towns across the north, and then rapidly spreading to the south, causing people to be extremely panicked.

The eldest lord received Lian Er's family letter, and there was a kind of anxious rush between the lines, obviously the sudden outbreak of the tide of abductors felt great pressure on the court, especially the cabinet elders.

With today's nature, we cannot tolerate the spread of such a disregard for the law.

Not to mention, such a thing happened after the resignation of the eldest lord, and it is inevitable that the people behind the abduction tide are afraid of the eldest lord, and are not afraid of the current and the imperial court.

But isn't it, how could such a thing happen during the reign of the eldest lord, and as a result, it took more than half a year for the old man to resign, and there was such a thorny matter that the government and the court could not solve for a while.

It is said that it is only the abduction and trafficking of children, but in fact, it has no substantial impact on the government and the national situation of the Great Qi Dynasty, but the blow to people's morale is too great.

In particular, most of the abducted children came from wealthy backgrounds, and not only the families of the powerful officials in the capital were panicked, but now this unease has rapidly spread throughout the north, and if it is not properly handled, it will have a great impact on the reputation of the present day and the imperial court.

In the letter sent by Lian Er, it was vaguely mentioned that he was in a hurry at the moment, and he was sending people to strictly investigate the frequent abduction and trafficking of children in various places, but unfortunately there was no good result so far, and the atmosphere in the capital was very depressing, and he suggested that the eldest master should not return to Jingyunyun for the time being.

Won't the old man return to Beijing at this time and hinder today's eyes?

Although he is not afraid of revenge today, he also has to think about his own children.

On this day, an invitation sticker was suddenly sent to the door, and when I looked at it, it turned out to be an invitation from the Jiangnan Zhen family, and invited him to attend the wedding banquet of a descendant of the Zhen family.

The eldest lord didn't want to pay attention to it, the Zhen family is now a grasshopper after the autumn and can't reach it for long, if it weren't for the prosperity of commerce in Jiangnan and the lack of silver in the private treasury today, I'm afraid that the Zhen family would have been taken down a long time ago.

It's just that he suddenly felt in his heart, as if something had happened to the Zhen family's wedding banquet, and he should have made up his mind again.
