Chapter 487 Nan'an Shizi visits, Dakang's current situation

"Master Hou, the prince of Nan'an County is visiting!"

In the study, a quick glance at the half-open window showed the green curtain on the letter lake this year, and the crickets and crickets outside began their daily compulsory classes again.

Originally, such a sound could not be heard in such a big house, especially in a place like Jia Chen's study, where the little servants had already cleaned it many times.

It's just that later, Jia Chen ordered, just let it be, there should be more cicadas in summer.

The little guys rarely touched those little things, and when it first entered the summer, Cailuan also planned to kill these little things, but when he heard the words of the little guys, he finally didn't do it, and gradually got used to the sound of insects chirping in the night.

The moonlight tonight is excellent, but the time is exactly fifteen, and a full moon has not yet climbed into the middle of the sky, but the outline is becoming clearer and clearer.

Erniu stood outside the study with a thick voice.

Jia Chen raised his eyebrows, this son of the world is interesting, ordinary visits, how can anyone choose to come at this time, this son of the world is afraid that he will not be annoyed by this king of Nan'an? I deliberately chose such a time.

"Old Monster Xu, do you think I want to meet this one?"

In the room, there were two people sitting, one was Jia Chen, who had just returned to the Hou Mansion, and the other was Xu Yuan.

During this time, Jia Chen was no longer in the capital, and although Cailuan handled many matters in the house more and more easily, he still lacked a staff officer after all, so he invited the old fox in.

Right now, the two of them are talking about how much impact the things Jia Chen brought back will cause!

Unexpectedly, halfway through, he killed a Cheng biting gold.

"Master Hou, don't you just want to know, what impact that thing will have on the world? That's it!

Xu Yuan heard Jia Chen's words and said casually, but listening to the other party's meaning, it seemed that he meant something else.

After a moment of silence, Jia Chen spoke up again, "These vassal kings don't seem to be very honest anymore, but they seem to be in a hurry!

"Urgent??"

Xu Yuan's voice became a little strange, and he seemed to be a little dissatisfied with what Jia Chen said.

Later, he went on to add, "Hou Ye has been away from the capital for three months, do you know what is the situation in the whole world now?"

"Oh?"

Jia Chen, with a soft sigh, looked at the old fox again.

"Listen to you, is Benhou missing something?"

Xu Yuan smiled.

"It's not much, it's just that there are several times more people rebelling in various places, but most of them have been suppressed, and even the imperial court has set up a counterinsurgency force, which has been touring around the country to quell the rebellion!"

Hearing the other party's words, Jia Chen shook his head slightly, he hadn't paid attention to this matter, and Cailuan hadn't mentioned it to him in the letter, he only said one thing, the court was trying to get money!

Even began to liquidate, the old accounts of the four kings and eight princes and other nobles and the imperial court, and the matter of the provincial concubines and relatives spent nearly 800,000 taels of silver just to settle the old accounts.

This shows one thing, the imperial court is now very short of silver, and even uses such dishonorable means to obtain it, of course, it also shows that in terms of the imperial court, they are actually determined, but the current effect does not seem to be very good.

"Master Hou, you and I have been in Liaodong Town for three years, what kind of virtue is it for the officials below? You and I couldn't be more saved!"

[In view of the general environment,

"At the top of the court, tighten their belts, save money, try their best to get silver, and distribute disaster relief materials in batches, but how much can fall into the hands of the victims, I am afraid it will be uncertain!

"It's such a season now, and it doesn't have much impact in the Hou Mansion, and even for the entire capital, the impact is not very big!"

"But for those people who depend on the sky for food, it is a big disaster!"

"Master Hou has returned to the west, and he should have seen a lot along the way! For the whole of Dakang, those who fled are just a drop in the ocean!"

"If the heavens want to destroy it, it must first make it crazy, this catastrophe is probably the biggest catastrophe since the founding of Dakang, and the root cause of this catastrophe is not those alien races outside, but the people of Dakang!

"If you can't even eat enough, then for the people, what do you care about, and what is the attitude of the imperial court towards them? is also helpless, after all, if a country and a court want to pass it on, it is these people who rely on it, and kill them all? That would only be self-defeating!

"So, the value of these things you brought back can no longer be measured simply by some cold-resistant crops!"

"For Dakang, this is a life-saving medicine and a timely rain!"

"Now, in such a situation, it is normal for those people to be unable to sit still, and once someone rises up, those Li people who can't eat will become their most loyal and reliable supporters!"

"The temptation to kill all the rich people, to remove the dignitaries from power, to divide their food, and to live for themselves is difficult to resist for the people who have not received the teachings of the saints!"

"The sons of the four princes have recently come to the capital, and their thoughts, I guess should be, on the orders of their father, to come here to find out the truth!

"If what Hou Ye brought back is true, then the world will soon be able to settle down, and if they rise up at this time, the chances of success will be greatly reduced!

"After all, rebellion is a job to tie your head to your belt, and if you can survive, no one is willing to do it!

"Of course, if they have other plans, it probably doesn't make much sense."

"The imperial court can't eat here, and their vassal kings can't eat either, the situation is almost the same, at most, the southern provinces are less affected by climate change, but don't forget, the taxes over there have nearly doubled, and the imperial court is also counting on the southern provinces to collect a little more taxes to help the northern provinces tide over the difficulties!"

"Therefore, the lives of people all over Dakang are unsatisfactory now, and most of the situations are similar!"

After listening to Xu Yuan's analysis, Jia Chen sighed softly, if he went on the original trajectory, how many lives would this cold snap take?

"Everything will pass, when did Benhou tell a lie?"

Hearing Jia Chen's answer, Xu Yuan nodded silently, as a strategist, he may not consider the same things as ordinary people, but there is one thing, he is not the kind of person who has lost his conscience, otherwise he would not have come together with Jia Chen.

"Then His Royal Highness, are we going to meet?"

Xu Yuan thought about it and spoke.

Jia Chen waved his hand.

"It's gone, and it doesn't have much effect if you see it, and when the time comes, you'll see it, and I'm too lazy to talk to them!"
