On the other side, Xia Yan saw Zhuge Liang standing in place without saying a word, and his heart chuckled.

Could it be that this big brother is going to give me what kind of moth is going to be?

No, he can't go to this mission!

As soon as this thought appeared, the system quickly prompted.

[If you detect the host's untimely thoughts, please do not interfere with the DPRK and Chinese officials to perform their duties for the country]

…… It's just that I think too much.

I have gone so far, I think even Zhuge Liang can't turn the tide.

Thinking of this, Xia Yan didn't say anything more, his order had already been issued, and it was their business how to operate the rest.

"Alright, let's retreat."

After finishing speaking, Xia Yan looked at the two thin white young men who were walking towards him.

"Don't fight, I'll go by myself!"

After that, Xia Yan came to the study by himself and began to continue his reading career.

looked at the dozen or so books that had been scrapped because of drooling on the side, and sighed.

"A trick to scrap a book a day, that's to make me read......"

As he spoke, his eyelids slowly sank.

Well...... Get some sleep first......

On the second day, Xia Yan listened to the minister's report while swallowing clouds and spitting fog.

There are still eight people in the court today, but the disappeared person has changed from Di Renjie to Zhuge Liang again.

It can be seen that Zhuge Liang still needs to contribute to the collection of the squire this time.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the collection of the gentry clan this time is not going well, and no family is willing to hand over seventy percent ......of their property so far."

"What? This group of dogs, the court is so good to them, they don't appreciate it? Tell the prime minister that all the payments must be completed within seven days, otherwise their homes will be raided! ”

"Uh, isn't this an open robbery?。。"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Ming immediately realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, and hurriedly changed his words.

"This group of squires is really a little unscrupulous, so the old minister will go to help together!"

After speaking, Zhu Ming shrank his neck and bent his already hunched back and slipped away, but the remaining few people looked at each other.

The main backbone ran away, what else could he say, he just kept laughing, and there was a trace of embarrassment in the air.

Seeing this, Xia Yan couldn't cry or laugh, so he didn't say anything more and retreated.

After retiring from the dynasty, Xia Yan rarely did not go to the study, but told Father-in-law Luo that he needed to visit Weifu to see the reaction of the gentry clan.

And this time, Grandpa Luo did not object.

Since he was standing next to Xia Yan above the court, he also understood the events of the past few days.

His Majesty the Emperor has given such a heavy order, so naturally he needs to go and see it for himself.

However, for the sake of Xia Yan's safety, Father-in-law Luo still proposed that a few guards pretend to be his younger brother to follow.

"Okay, let's go."

After finishing speaking, Xia Yan changed into the clothes worn by ordinary noblemen and left the palace.

It's been more than half a month since he came here, and Xia Yanfang has just left the palace for the first time.

In fact, there was only one city in the actual area under the control of the Great Xia Dynasty, which was the Nanling Imperial City.

Although the area is not large, there are still quite a few countries bordering each other, and there are six directly bordering countries.

And among them, there is one country that is the only one that borders on a lake in Bactria called Lake Tai.

Although it is said that the Great Xia Dynasty has been connected to Taihu Lake since its inception, Taihu Lake has never belonged to Great Xia, but to the Xi Kingdom.

It is precisely because of this that the people of Daxia are not qualified to play on Lake Tai at all.

If any of the people of Daxia dared to drive a small boat into Taihu Lake, they would be shot into a sieve by the arrows of the Xi Kingdom.

And now it is reported that Zhuge Liang is now located in Qin's house next to Taihu Lake in the west of the city.

The Qin family was originally a merchant family, wandering between the major dynasties, and settled in Daxia a hundred years ago.

In line with the principle of watching secretly, Xia Yan came to the side of the Qin family.

In the distance, I saw two people standing outside the door.

When I looked closely, it was Zhuge Liang and Zhu Ming.

At this moment, the two of them seemed to be a little embarrassed, and Zhu Ming was even more red-faced, as if he had just had a fierce argument.

Opposite the two, there was a middle-aged man standing, and the middle-aged man was also red-faced and red-eared, and he kept dancing.

Xia Yan didn't hear what they said clearly, but he was very satisfied with the way it was now.

A rough guess is that this middle-aged man should be the head of the Qin family, and the meaning of his dancing is also obvious.

It must be to let the two of them leave quickly, and they will definitely not agree to the resolution of expropriating seventy percent of the family property.

Thinking of this, Xia Yan's face showed a satisfied smile.

With such a stupid trick of your own, even if you are Zhuge Liang, what's the matter?

With a giggle, he returned to the palace.

It's just that what he doesn't know is that at this moment, the gate of the Qin Mansion is ......

Zhu Ming hugged his big belly and burped in his mouth.

"Uhhahaha, the head of the Qin family should go back quickly, the old man has drunk enough today, and he is full of food, and he needs to go home too!"

Zhuge Liang is the same, showing kindness on the side.

"Yes, what Prime Minister Zhu Cheng said is extremely true, the head of the Qin family, you see that we have all drunk and our faces are red, and it is time to go."

The head of the Qin Mansion was named Qin Yu, and his face was ruddy at the moment, and he kept raising his hand high.

"Hey, it's too disappointing for the two prime ministers to leave like this, you see that the sky is now bright, how can there be a drinking party that ends in broad daylight, we talk so happily that it can't end so quickly, come on, let's continue drinking!"

Seeing Qin Yu being so hospitable, the two of them were obviously a little overwhelmed, just now it was because Qin Yu was too polite that they kept pulling the two of them to continue drinking, so they escaped while Qin Yu was going to the toilet.

At this moment, he didn't want to be caught by Qin Yu, and he was pulling the two of them to go back and continue the drinking game.

Seeing that it was really difficult to shirk, Zhuge Liang could only speak.

"Master Qin, you think it's good to be like this, Prime Minister Zhu Cheng will accompany you to continue drinking, I have something important to do now, and I need to continue to go to the next family."

Hearing this, Zhu Ming had no choice but to nod in response.

"Yes, yes, Prime Minister Zhuge will go to the next family, and I will accompany you, the head of the Qin family!"

"Good, good, good!"

Anyway, he still kept one, and Qin Yu's face was much better, so after saying goodbye to Zhuge Liang, he pulled Zhu Ming and continued to enter the mansion.

And Zhuge Liang looked at the door of the Qin Mansion, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"It seems that as long as you do this, the squires can agree, but I don't know if Your Majesty will be angry when he finds out."

"Alas...... Let's do it for now, or if you anger the squire so early, you will surely have a difficult future......"

…………

At the same time, Xia Yan had already returned to the palace.

Now he is in a very happy mood, and his plan seems to be carried out for now.

The deadline I gave Zhuge Liang was one week, but I knew with my toes how it could be levied in one week.

Many of these families have a century-old foundation, and they will give it wherever they will say.

When Zhuge Liang didn't do it, he could ask for a soldier to be forcibly collected.

As long as all these squires and nobles are angered, a rebellion is just around the corner.

Everything is under control.
