Chapter 153: The Beginning of Xiangyun's Calamity
"Shang Junshu - Change the Law": Now I want to change the law to govern, and teach the people with more courtesy, and I am afraid that the world will discuss me.
The difficulty of changing the law, Qin's Wei Marting, ten years of practice, Qin Minda said, the road is not forgotten, there are no thieves in the mountains, and the family is sufficient. The people are brave in public war, cowardly in private fighting, and the countryside is governed.
However, the nobles of the clan have many grievances, and they are notorious to Qin, and there is a husband! Duke Xiao died, Duke Hui ascended the throne, Gongzi Qian and others accused Shang Yang of "wanting to rebel", and was split by Qin Bingche in Tong.
With the power of the Shang monarch and the faith of filial piety, the authority of Great Qin still died in the Great Rule.
The territory of Great Xia is ten times that of Qin, and the nobles of the clan and the scholars and gentry are even more than a hundred times, who can be the merchant of Great Xia? Who dares to be the merchant of Great Xia?
"The most obvious and inevitable reason in the world is now the immutable law of China must perish."
Jia Cong hesitated, or he was both timid and unwilling!
Great Xia is now in the midst of its prosperity and decline, and perhaps there will be a trend of revival under the sewing of the current emperor, but if it does not change the law to survive, Great Xia will still not be able to escape the fate of decline and fall a hundred years later.
Land annexation is the biggest shackle, and when the people of the Central Plains are so many that they can't survive by digging through the land, it is the time when the dynasty rises and falls.
Tens of millions of innocent people will die in the flames. Become the nutrients of this land and re-nourish new people.
Repeatedly, until someone dares to stand up and truly achieve the cultivation of the world's fields and the world's people!
"Brother Cong, there's still time!"
Xu Jin took the flask off the stove and began to pour himself a drink.
He didn't have Jia Cong's impatience, and said slowly, "This time, I borrowed the hand of the saint to cut off a finger and see their reactions, and then make a plan. At least, the saint can hold it down!"
Jia Cong nodded and responded, "That's right, the saint can hold it down, so let's take this opportunity to see how many people can't help but make a move, and how strong the shot is."
As he spoke, there was a noise outside the cell.
After a while, I saw Cao Jiugong coming over with a food box, and after seeing the wine and food on the table, he smiled dumbly: "It's too late, let your little fat man take the lead!"
Jia Cong got up and clenched his fists: "Cao Dudu is also visiting the teacher?"
Cao Jiugong lifted the food box in his hand and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is worried that Mr. Qingteng will not have enough wine, so let me send wine and food, and it is best to trick a few poems back!"
"That feeling is good, so the little apprentice brought me a small pot, which is not enough to moisten my throat. If you don't write a few crooked poems, wouldn't you be sorry for Your Majesty's favor!"
Xu Jin raised his hand and invited Cao Jiugong to sit down, the wine and food in the food box were intoxicating, and with the warmth of the stove, the three of them finally lay drunk in the edict.
After Liu Heng received the secret report from the Long Guard, he shook his head and ordered him to send Jia Cong and Cao Jiugong to their respective homes, and then he set up the edict, and after pushing left and right, he sat opposite Xu Jin, who seemed to be drunk but not drunk.
The smell of wine in the prison was not gone, Xu Jin's face was slightly red, and he said with a smile: "The minister is not Kong Ming, and he can't be the right person in Longzhong."
Liu Heng shook his head and said, "I am not Liu Xuande, and Daxia is not a Later Han."
Xu Jin re-brewed the tea, handed a new cup of tea to the emperor, and said, "Then the minister will talk about the problem of Great Xia?"
Liu Heng took the tea cup, tasted the fragrance of the tea, and replied leisurely: "I am listening!"
Xu Jin's tea cups and wine glasses on the table were sorted separately and arranged in three piles. ….
"The minister has three words, one of which is the external trouble, which has been endless for generations. If there is no worry about the internal military attack, there will be no natural disasters and man-made disasters at the same time, and the Zhaowu soldiers will not invade the town for ten years. The second is internal worries, the soldiers will block the water and cover the soil, provide disaster relief in every disaster, and destroy the Kou in every disaster. There are precedents in all dynasties. Being cautious can ensure the stability of the country for a hundred years. Third......"
Xu Jin said this, his expression was no longer more relaxed than before, but extremely dignified.
"Third, the minister has read the history books, the dynasty has been three hundred years, and the smoke will come, and it is inevitable that my dynasty will come. Your Majesty, there has never been a legacy for all ages, so why not?"
Liu Heng subconsciously replied: "At the end of the dynasty, the faint monarch was in power, and the female cadres were rampant, how could they not be destroyed?"
"Yes and no!"
Xu Jin shook his head and replied, "Where the dynasty is located, the population has withered after war, and the imperial court has divided the land
The land ploughs its fields, and a family can live. Two generations later, if the non-faint monarch is in power, he will usher in a prosperous era. In the heyday, the families of the clans, the officials and scholars, and the families of the gentry and magnates will definitely seek opportunities to annex the land. At that time, the poor got poorer and the rich got richer. After three generations to the extreme, thirty percent of the land can support eighty percent of the people?"
Liu Heng's back has begun to chill, today the great dynasty Jia Cong just said in the Fengtian Hall that nearly seventy percent of the fields in Wanping County have been annexed by the wealthy families in the capital.
Can the remaining 30% feed the tens of thousands of people in Wanping County?
"Will the families of clan relatives and wealthy gentry pay taxes to the imperial court? If you lose your taxes, how can you get the money for disaster relief?"
"After that, when there are natural and man-made disasters, but there are droughts, floods, and heavy snowfall, what will the people who can't survive do?"
Unveiled!
Maybe in a few decades, Great Xia will also be full of smoke, and the people who can't survive will rush into the Forbidden City with swords and hang the emperor of Great Xia on a tree with a crooked neck!
"Your Majesty, Great Xia at this time is the peak of the dynasty, what will happen after the prosperity of Zhaoyuan is all in the mind of Your Majesty!"
After Xu Jin finished saying this, he continued his great business of making tea, leaving the emperor alone to stare at the constantly jumping flames in a daze.
Crackling, snapping......
As the charcoal burns, there is an occasional crackling sound, which is particularly clear in the silence of the cell.
After a long time, Liu Heng turned around and asked, "What should I do?"
Xu Jin shook his head and replied, "Your Majesty shouldn't ask the minister, and the minister only knows what the minister should do. What Your Majesty is going to do, no one knows except Your Majesty himself."
Liu Heng asked again, "What is Mr. Qingteng going to do?"
Xu Jin raised the teacup in his hand, raised his head towards the emperor, and saluted: "The minister plans to try it first, will the Shang monarch of Great Xia also be torn apart......
Liu Heng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and raised the teacup in front of him, and replied, "Then I will see if I will be filial piety or Huigong."
"Your Majesty had better be a filial piety, the minister is afraid of pain!"
Hahahaha......
The two looked at each other and laughed.
……
The matter of returning the silver owed by the household department made Ning Rong's Jia family almost become a festival rat in the eyes of the nobles in the capital, but in the eyes of the people, the reputation of the Jia family seemed to have risen sharply.
If the household department has no money, what can it do for disaster relief? Without food, how can the affected people survive?
Look at the little Jia who has a cat tattoo on his chest, not only fought with the nobles of the Manchu Dynasty for our common people, but also took the initiative to return the money owed by his Lao Tzu, and was beaten for this, what a good person! ….
Jia Cong was indeed beaten, but the reason for the beating was not because of the matter of repaying the money. The main reason is that I drank alcohol in the edict yesterday, and after returning home, I climbed on the roof of the house, and clamored to step on the desert and enter the sea to capture the dragon, which made the house unpeaceful.
Lao Tzu makes you drunk and crazy! Lao Tzu let you go to the house to uncover the tiles!
So Lord Xiao Jia was slapped ten boards by the noisy lord who had a headache!
"Brother Cong, you are now the blue sky lord in the eyes of the people of the capital!"
Jia Cong, who was beaten, lay on the bed, Daiyu sorted out the manuscripts on the table on the side, and quipped: "Lord Yumao, someone has sent the case to Rongguo Mansion, do you want to take it or not?"
Jia Cong sighed: "If you don't answer, let people go to the door and paste a piece of paper, and it will be written on it, Cong is not an official who asks about the case, and if there is a grievance, he will first report to the county government or the state government yamen." If the state government is not clear, you can ask for help from the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple. If you don't know any more, you can beat the drum!"
"What Brother Cong said is that if you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government. The rope on your royal cat is still in your majesty's hands, how can the milk cat catch the rats? It's not that you're a big cat, but it's the leash behind you to be your backer. If you want to really be a royal cat Qingtian, you have to study for the imperial examination first."
Daiyu took a booklet from the bookshelf and spread it out in front of Jia Cong. In Jia Cong's frightened eyes, Wan Er smiled: "Come, San Lang, read with my sister, the so-called ruler of the country must be the same as his family, his family cannot be taught, and those who can teach others are not. Therefore, the gentleman does not leave the house, but becomes a teacher in the country."
Sister Lin, are you a devil teacher? My ass
It hurts, you won't let me go!
Crunch!
The door was pushed open, and Yingchun walked in with Xiao Xichun in tow.
"The people from the household department are here, and they are counting the silver taels in the front hall...... Brother Cong, you snatched the snacks of the fourth sister again!"
Xichun lay on the side of the bed and took a piece of dim sum to gluttonous Jia Cong, but unexpectedly his hand was slower, and he was swallowed by Jia Cong most of it. At this moment, Zi Xichun's mouth was deflated, and her bright eyes immediately became foggy.
Jia Cong touched it from the bedside, and actually took out a small box of plum slices and snowflake candy, took out one and stuffed it into Xichun's mouth.
"Sweet!"
The little girl, whose eyes were foggy, immediately smiled and giggled, "Candy, sweet!"
Jia Cong handed the whole box to Xichun, patted the head of her bag and said, "Hide it and don't let Second Brother Bao see it, be careful of being deceived by him!"
"Speak ill of Baoyu again......
Daiyu gently slapped the back of Jia Cong's hand, hugged Xichun to her, and asked about the situation in the front hall of the Spring Festival while playing with her little sister.
"Second sister, did the household department mention how to pay back the rest of the money?"
Yingchun was about to answer, but he heard Wang Xifeng's voice outside.
"The Minister of Finance has already discussed with his father-in-law, except for the 100,000 taels this time, the rest of the Ningrong Mansion depends on the harvest of the year, and it can be returned in five years."
Wang Xifeng came in with Ping'er, with displeasure on his face, and complained: "But the wives and wives of several families ran to the old lady's yin and yang weirdness and said something about it, so angry that I almost couldn't hold back my scolding!"
Yingchun asked worriedly, "The old ancestor won't be angry with Daddy and Brother Cong, right?"
Daiyu smiled bitterly and said, "Where can my grandmother take care of this, the affairs of the Shi family are enough for my grandmother to worry about!"
"Yes, I don't know what the two marquis masters of the Shi family are thinking, Sister Yun's dignified Houmen noble daughter is actually forced to do needlework in exchange for money. Sister Yun's needlework, can a foreign man touch it? Where is the Houmen system?"
Wang Xifeng spat lightly and said disdainfully: "Sister Yun's father and mother left her a big dowry, and opening a box casually is enough to support Sister Yun when she grows up, where do you need to sell it with needles and threads for money?"
Jia Cong, who was drunk yesterday, probably understood, it turned out that it was Xiangyun's matter that gave the old lady a headache. The Shi family really made a fuss again, and this time they actually asked Xiangyun to do needlework and take it out for money?
A dignified noblewoman, she actually has to sell needlework for silver flowers? Xiangyun's reputation is gone? Don't want the system of the prince's family?
Jia Cong, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked, "Is it only Sister Yun who is like this, or is Xianglan and Xiangxue all like this?"
Wang Xifeng sneered and said, "Brother Cong is still smart, I asked the same question at the beginning. Where would Mrs. Shihou accuse her of treating her niece harshly, people said, Xianglan and Xiangxue should have been with their eldest sister, but Xianglan and Xiangxue's needlework was not good, so they could only plant flowers at home, and they grew up to exchange for money. After all, the historian has to do his best to return the money owed by the household, so he can only save money and reduce food and clothing!"
