When the recommended quota for Ask Immortal Pavilion this year was announced, Li Chengping immediately realized that Zhou Fengxian had betrayed him, and the temptation of asking for Immortal Pavilion places was too great.

This is a shortcut for the Great Wei bureaucrats to win the top family, they don't need to climb up step by step, they only need to enter the Immortal Pavilion, and they will step into the top family with one foot, and if they can enter the Immortal Gate, they will also step into it with the other foot.

What shocked Li Chengping was that the quota he recommended this year was one of his nephews, and the other three town envoys also begged him to recommend, but he refused, thinking that Jiang Cheng would have two more places next year, he was a little afraid, which meant that Jiang Cheng could use these two places to win over other pacification envoys.

No, there is no need for Jiang Cheng to woo at all, those pacification envoys will take the initiative to find Jiang Cheng, those pacification envoys who don't have three or five sons, who don't want to enter the Immortal Pavilion, Li Chengping didn't recommend these people in the past, because he wanted to use this quota to hang them, but now Jiang Cheng has broken the situation.

"Father, this is the list of new disciples of the Immortal Pavilion, there are two people in Nancheng Fusi"

Li Cunran got the news and immediately found Li Chengping, and he also found that something was wrong.

"I already know, Zhou Fengxian betrayed me"

"What can I do?"

"For the sake of today, we can only seek self-preservation"

Li Chengping said, he actually knows his own position very well, very embarrassed, the royal family regards them as traitors, Li Changqing They never see him, and the civil officials don't want to see him, it all depends on his ancestors to pull the tiger skin, otherwise why would their family occupy Tsing Yi Wei, and now Jiang Cheng has torn their family's tiger skin, because Jiang Cheng is also on the thigh of Xianmen, and their family is now in danger.

"Father, it's not like this, our family has controlled Tsing Yi Wei for generations, how can Jiang Cheng shake it"

"What do you know, Zhou Fengxian has also been loyal to me for more than 20 years, it's not that betrayal is betrayal, now it is the imperial court that supports Jiang Cheng to fight with us, our family has controlled Tsing Yi Wei for too long, and the imperial court has begun to do something to us"

Li Chengping shook his head, what is the use of controlling it for many years, those subordinates, it is not unprofitable and cannot afford to be early, Jiang Cheng took out the quota of the Immortal Pavilion, and the situation was broken at once.

"Father, then we slaughtered Jiang Cheng"

"Can you kill him?"

"I..."

Li Cunran was speechless all of a sudden, he is also a great grandmaster martial artist, and he is the top one, after all, Tsing Yiwei's martial arts, resources are at his disposal, but he is not sure about Jiang Cheng at all, during the Tongzhou War, he was in Tongzhou City, and witnessed Jiang Cheng's martial arts, which was too strong.

"In the affairs of officialdom, it is useless to fight and kill, if it is useful with martial arts, except for Xianmen, who will be Jiang Cheng's opponent"

"Shall we be tied, Father?"

"Of course not, Tsing Yi Wei is in charge of the royal family, and hundreds of officials are in prison, although Jiang Cheng has the support of the imperial court, but he is also Li Hongsleeve's person, Li Hongsleeve's ambition is well known, and he doesn't deal with the saint, go and sort out the financial resources we control, at least a spiritual jade mine, I will send it to Li Changqing's grandfather to get the support of the royal family, and you are going to contact the civil officials and strive for Yao Ce's support"

Li Chengping quickly thought of a countermeasure, he wanted to repair the relationship with the royal family, the Li family had killed a large number of outstanding sons in the war in the past few years, although the Li family did not lack a reserve army, but these people needed a lot of resources to cultivate in addition to time.

However, Li Chengping is not short of resources, their family has controlled Tsing Yiwei for decades, and has a lot of wealth, and he has several gold and silver mines and spiritual jade mines.

"Father, how do you deal with civil officials?"

"Go to the case library, find a few files of Yao Ce's henchmen, and give them to him, and Yao Ce will know what it means."

Li Chengping said that Yao Ce's faction is not clean, Tsing Yiwei found a lot of evidence of their crimes, but Li Chengping didn't want to offend him on weekdays, so he kept pressing and didn't do it, and now hand over these incriminating evidence to Yao Ce, Yao Ce will know Li Chengping's sincerity.

In Yongzhou, about 50,000 people were withdrawn from the army, and they came to Yongdu City on behalf of the whole army to show their great exploits, and the rest of the troops were still stationed in Tongzhou and other places.

So they were the first to get the reward, in the barracks, all the soldiers assembled, dozens of documents set up a row of tables in front of them, one by one according to the merits of the war to reward them.

"Zhang San, a person from Jiangyuan County, Yongzhou, the commander of the Wuwei Battalion of the Forbidden Army, has experienced seven battles, killed twelve enemies, and his merits can be wrong"

"Adult, no mistake"

"The imperial court rewards according to merit, and deserves 30 acres of land, 10 acres of upper fields, and 20 acres of middle fields, yes, you will sign"

"My lord, I can't write"

"Press the handprint, take the approval slip and leave, next"

"Yes, my lord"

Zhang San quickly pressed his handprint, took the approval slip of thirty acres of land and left, followed by the next person.

After Zhang San's army finished receiving the battle exploits, he soon found them and wanted to buy the acres of land in their hands.

"What, one acre of Xia Tian is only 800 Wen, and Shang Tian is only one or two five, you guys are too dark, right?"

"Eight hundred Wen is a lot, your field is the field of Wutong County, Tongzhou, Wutong County is twenty miles away from Liaoguo, you think it is the field of Yongzhou, this is still for the sake of our face as a fellow villager, and the other battalions only give seven hundred and fifty Wen"

The person who bought the land was also an officer, he naturally didn't have so much silver, they were just the white gloves of the lord of the court, and there were dozens of officers who helped to do things, similar to this kind of officer.

At the same time, there were also people in those stations in Tongzhou, because Tongzhou and other places also began to be rewarded, and these people joined forces to lower the price of acres.

"Yongzhou's lower fields also cost more than four taels and five taels and one mu, your price is too powerful, I don't sell it"

Zhang San said angrily, according to this price, he can only sell it for less than thirty taels of silver in a year, it is too cheap, but he exchanged his life for it.

And he is still a corps commander, which is considered a petty officer, and those ordinary soldiers are even less, and he may be able to sell for a dozen taels of silver.

"If you don't sell, you don't sell"

The man didn't force it, he didn't sell it, he found another person, there was always someone who was short of money, and a large number of singles among the generals had to go back to marry a daughter-in-law after taking the money.

And on the second day, the man received an order from above to continue to lower the price, only 750 wen in the lower field, and 124 in the upper field, and to continue to lower the price, drop a little every day, and create panic.

This kind of millions of acres of land, ordinary merchants are not able to eat, and do not dare to enter, the sense of smell of merchants is very sensitive, knowing whose meat it is, no one dares to buy land without dying.

So the panic was immediately created, and many of the generals who got the approval began to panic, and began to flock to the officers who bought the land, and those officers were even more ruthless, seeing so many people coming to sell the land, and the price was suppressed, and the lower fields in Tongzhou were pressed to four hundred wen, which is equivalent to the price of cabbage, you must know that a live chicken in the market now has to be sold for one or two hundred wen.

"Yao Ce's hearts of those civil officials are too ruthless, before the war, the fields in Tongzhou and other places were two taels of silver per mu, but now they are pressed to four hundred Wen, killing people without seeing blood, this is a civil official."

In an inn outside the barracks, Li Hongshou sighed, and Yang Shen on the side was also full of anger, the reward that hundreds of thousands of generals had won desperately was about to be looted by them.

"Eldest princess, it's time for us to do it, if we don't do it, the fields will be collected by them"

"It's okay"

Li Hongsleeve nodded, the grievances of the soldiers are enough, they generally only have a reward of ten acres of land, and Shangtian may only have one or two acres, which could have been sold for a dozen taels of silver, but now it is only a few taels of silver, and the amount of resentment can be imagined.

"You all go and do things, today's field price, Shimoda one tael, Nakata one tael, Ueda two tael"

Li Hongsleeve walked a few steps and said to the dozens of people in the inn, this is all the clerical account room that Li Hongsleeve found, and in a group of two, he intervened in the harvest.

Dozens of people received the order and immediately rushed to various military camps, set up signs, and there were special people to agitate propaganda.

"Brothers, don't sell to these profiteers, yesterday I reported to the eldest princess that these profiteers oppressed our brothers, the eldest princess is willing to wait for me, Shimoda sells one tael of silver, Nakata one or two five, Ueda two taels, we sell the land to the eldest princess."

"What, Shimoda one or two, they only have three hundred and eighty texts today"

"Yes, they only gave one or two pieces of silver to Ueda."

"Go find the eldest princess"

A large number of soldiers who had not yet sold their land were in an uproar, the price given by Li Hongsleeve was too high, more than double that of those who collected the land, the news spread wildly, and almost all the soldiers flocked to Li Hongsleeve's dozens of subordinates, making sure that Li Hongsleeve really collected the land at this price, and immediately went crazy.

In the past few days, tens of thousands of soldiers have sold the approval slips in their hands, and one by one they are also furious, and immediately go to the officers who collected the fields and demand the return of the approval slips.

"Retreat, why retreat, the black and white words are here, this is your handprint"

The officer sneered and returned the approval slip, is it possible, and spit out what he eats?

"Bastard, Lao Tzu was cut seven times on the battlefield to exchange for these fifty acres of land, and you bought it for me for thirty taels of silver, are we really easy to bully?"

"What, you still want to rebel?"

"What about the rebellion, my father and mother have died a long time ago, and I have a rotten life, bring it to me"

An officer was furious, and punched the man, and the force erupted, and even the man's head was shattered, and he snatched the approval slip from his hand.

"Brothers, take back your own land, let's go and sell it to the eldest princess, the eldest princess is for us"

"Yes, brothers, these dog officials colluded with profiteers and took the opportunity to lower the price, and all the rewards we worked so hard for were swallowed by them, and we asked the eldest princess to be our master."

Someone instigated, and someone immediately responded, and more than half of the dozens of officers who collected the fields were killed, and the rest were also robbed of the approval slips, and they flocked to Li Hongsleeve, wanting to find Li Hongsleeve to call the shots.
