"Why is Nanchi so ...... today?"

Jia Cong looked at Nanchifang City at this moment, and always felt that something was weird, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally came up with a suitable adjective.

"Why is it so harmonious? Yes, it's harmony! When did Nanchifang City even stop arguing? Where have all those boys gone?"

What are you kidding, it is so suspicious that there will be such a harmonious scene in a place like the capital where a random brick can be smashed down and smashed into the five-rank official.

Jia Shiyi replied quietly: "Little Third Master forgot? The prince of Zhongshun has returned to Beijing!"

"Hey, I've been so busy these two days that I've forgotten about this stubble."

Jia Cong smiled and said, "I have to say that the Thirteenth Master has been greatly wronged by the black pot of the first gentleman in the capital for the people of our capital. Look, this is the harmonious and beautiful capital of Great Xia!"

The harmonious Nanchifang City made Jia Cong feel a little regretful, Lord Yumao wanted to be chivalrous today......

After walking around, Jia Cong bought a small orange cat in a cattery and came to the edge of the South Pond with the kitten in his arms.

"Sea View Tower...... It's elegant, and Third Brother Zhang is really good at picking a place."

Before going upstairs, I saw a noble son waving at him by the window of the second floor near the pool, and his sword eyebrows were slightly open but not sharp, but there was a sense of stability and elegance.

Jia Cong waved in response, and then walked briskly up to the second floor. After entering the private room, the two didn't even greet each other, sitting opposite each other and drinking tea, watching the scenery from the window.

It turned out that the person who asked Jia Cong to come here today was none other than Liu Chen, the son-in-law of Liu Chen, the king of Wu, and Zhang Sanzhang, the county lord and extralegal fanatic.

"Third Brother Zhang, you finally came to the capital, I thought you were going to take this spring's entrance examination. Is it to assist His Royal Highness King Wu in handling the affairs of Jinling?"

Hearing Jia Cong's inquiry, Zhang Zhengju shook his head and responded with a smile: "Those people in Jinling are just local chickens and dogs, and when the royal soldiers arrived, they were all as well-behaved as kittens. The main reason is that my mother is pregnant, where can I go?"

"Huh?"

When Jia Cong heard this, he hurriedly congratulated him: "Congratulations to Third Brother Zhang, when the child is born, I must go and ask for a cup of happy wine."

"If you don't want to go, I'm going to tie you up."

Zhang Zhengju laughed and chatted a few words about the parents, and before noon, there was a knock on the door of the private room again.

With a creak, the door opened, and a young man with a golden crown and jade belt walked in, and Jia Cong and Zhang Zhengju got up to greet him.

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Congratulations to the fourth brother, you are going to be an uncle......

King Wu and the current emperor are the same generation, so Liu Hong and the county lord of King Wu's mansion are cousins and brothers, and they still don't have five suits.

Zhang Zhengju's future child, do you want to call Liu Hong your uncle?

Under Jia Cong's recommendation, Liu Hong met the highly respected Jiangnan talent for the first time.

"If Your Highness wants to evaluate those officials of the Shuntian Mansion in accordance with the "Great Xia Law", then the Ministry of Literature and Literature Division will have to prepare more candidates to replace them."

Zhang Zhengju only roughly flipped through the file brought by Liu Hong, then closed it and said, "The money and food for disaster relief have been allocated layer by layer, and almost all the people who have passed through have their hands touched. If Your Highness wants to truly implement it, the first thing is to rule the officials, the second is the law, and the third is to supervise. As long as one of these three points is not implemented, there will be a resurgence of natural disasters."

In just a few words, Liu Hong was shocked. It is worthy of being recommended to him by the emperor's grandfather himself, and he has such insight at a young age.

He stood up and bowed his hand and said, "Please teach me, sir!"

Zhang Zhengju hurriedly avoided the side and returned the salute: "Your Royal Highness has tormented the ministers, and it is the responsibility of the courtiers to worry about the king."

"Sir, do you have a plan?"

"Didn't Your Highness say that it will be punished according to law? Then start with the "Great Xia Law" ......."

The second floor of the Guanhai Building has been taken down by Liu Hong, and a team of dragon guards in civilian clothes are guarding the staircase. Someone also wanted to take advantage of the family's momentum to climb to the second floor, but was scared away by a Flying Fish token.

In the private room, Zhang Zhengju talked eloquently, expounding his views for Liu Hong and Jia Cong.

"After a hundred years, the government has been abolished a lot. Taizu was greedy for silver

Twenty taels of dismissal and seizure of knighthood, more than two hundred taels of silver. How dare you do this now?"

Liu Hong subconsciously wanted to say yes, but he remembered his imperial grandfather, the emperor treated his courtiers leniently, and the greed for 100,000 taels of silver was just a dismissal, and he didn't even have to sit in prison......

"Since the greed for ink twenty taels is to dismiss the official and seize the knighthood, and the greedy ink for one hundred thousand taels is only to remove the official and seize the knighthood, and you can't die anyway, why not make more money?"

Zhang Zhengju's face became more and more solemn, and he sighed: "Those files that His Highness just showed to his ministers, if according to the rules of the Taizu Dynasty, nine out of ten will be taken to the vegetable market and beheaded. But does Your Highness dare to do this?"

Liu Hong sighed, "I thought so, but I didn't dare to do it."

He didn't lie, he really didn't dare. Even the emperor didn't dare to really cut down this group of people according to the rules of the Taizu Dynasty, because according to the rules of twenty taels of dismissal and two hundred taels of beheading, all the civil and military ministers in the court can be replaced.

Zhang Zhengju nodded: "The minister can understand, and the whole body will be moved, so the minister's first suggestion is that since the official can't be moved for the time being, then skip this step and directly control the head of the township and the village."

So familiar pattern......

Jia Cong subconsciously said, "Power at the grassroots level? The countryside surrounds the city?"

"Power at the grassroots? It's appropriate."

Zhang Zhengju explained in detail: "In the iron-clad townships of the officials who have been flowing water since ancient times, it is better to say that the local rulers who manage the country for the dynasty are the county commanders, rather than those officials, township heads, and lieutenant chiefs. Therefore, His Royal Highness may wish to formulate new rules to include the mayors of townships and districts, and the officials of counties into the system of the national dynasty, and they will be placed in the ranks."

"The second is to set the law, this matter has been discussed with Mr. Qingteng, and in a few days, it will be presented to the palace. The new law has its own new regulations, which can be implemented on a trial basis in Shuncheon."

"Speaking of supervision, the minister is willing to expand the Imperial Procuratorate and increase the number of imperial historians. However, Mr. Qingteng said that Xiao Jia made a fresh suggestion......

Well?

Jia Cong was still thinking about the grassroots under power, when he heard Zhang Zhengju mention himself.

"What did Brother Zhang say about setting up a news department?"

Zhang Zhengju nodded, it was the first time Liu Hong had heard this.

He turned his head and asked, "What is the Department of Information?"

"It's a variant of Di Bao, Di Bao is top-down, and news is bottom-up......

Jia Cong gave an example: "The imperial court can set up a press department to recruit people who are righteous as journalists. If there are wealthy families in a certain place who oppress the people, and the officials cover them up, and the people have no way to ask for help, the reporters of the Information Department can spread a piece of paper all over the world and publicize it widely. When Shangguan heard this, how could he ignore it?"

Zhang Zhengju nodded and added: "This law is feasible or not, Chen Zheng and Mr. Qingteng are trying to find a way to amend it, in order to implement it in the world and fill the gap in supervision."

"Not feasible?"

Liu Hong thinks this method is very good, in this way, Daxia has not added thousands of imperial histories out of thin air, where do those wealthy families dare to oppress the people?

Jia Cong explained with a wry smile: "The teacher said that this method is also used by others to control public opinion, which is not conducive to the rule of the country."

"Country gossip will make the people panic, and Your Highness underestimates the power of this information department. If someone with a heart is allowed to take control of the Information Department, no one is sure that the incident between Da Chuxing and Chen Shengwang will not happen in this dynasty."

Zhang Zhengju's words startled Liu Hong, and the conversation and atmosphere gradually cooled, and the three of them all skipped the matter of the Information Department and turned the topic back to the grassroots level under power.

This conversation lasted almost two hours, and even during lunch, Liu Hong was not idle, and asked Zhang Zhengju a lot about "Daxia Law".

After three glasses of wine, Zhang Zhengju released a bold statement.

"The omissions in the "Great Xia Law" are almost like a sieve, if the minister commits a crime, not to mention that the government can't find evidence at all and can't convict the minister, the minister is still 100% sure that the person who knocked on the hall will be sent to prison!"

After hearing this, Liu Hong finally understood why Jia Cong called his cousin-in-law an extralegal fanatic.

After sending Liu Hong and Zhang Zhengju away, Jia Cong yawned and went to the hospital with the little orange cat in his arms.

Old man Yu Chenglang checked the kitten, fed a pill with a ghost knows what ingredients, and drove Jia Cong, who was disturbing him to play with insects, out of the door.

Originally, seeing the sunset, Jia Cong planned to return to Fuzhong. Unexpectedly, just as he was shaken to sleep, the carriage suddenly braked sharply and almost rolled out of the carriage.

There was a lot of noise outside the carriage, and there were faint quarrels and fights.

"Little Third Master, I seem to hear someone shouting Uncle Xue......

In an uproar, Jia Cong immediately lifted the curtain and went to the door of the restaurant not far away, surrounded by a circle of people, and could faintly see a few people scuffling together.

He jumped out of the carriage and, after the guards had made a way, came to the very front of the circle.

It was indeed Xue Pan who scuffled with someone, and it was a pair of five.

The guards around him were all suppressed by the guards of others, and he could only rely on his strong body to fight against others.

At this time, Xue Pan's face was blue and purple, if he wasn't a familiar person, he wouldn't have recognized this as the uncle of the Xue family, the imperial businessman.

Seeing that Xue Pan received another fist in his face, Jia Cong immediately shouted, "Stop!"

Unexpectedly, these people didn't pay attention to Jia Cong at all, but a woman dressed as a maid stood on the stone steps at the entrance of the restaurant and frowned and said, "This is my family's private matter, and it is better for the son not to interfere." Keep fighting, the girl said, she will bear the burden if something happens!"

The crowd of onlookers immediately whispered, and some of them recognized Jia Cong's identity, and whispered to his friends and sneered: "This Xia family will be kicked to the iron plate, the Xue family is a relative of Rongguo Mansion, and the third master of Cong started a fire, and even the prince of the county was cut!"

I didn't wear a cat suit when I came out today, this is being underestimated?

He touched the frightened cat, and snorted coldly: "Pull them away, dare to resist, and break their hands and feet!"

With Jia Cong's order, several guards didn't even pull out their knives, and the scabbards smashed the hands and feet of this group of slave guards, and the chaotic scene was instantly controlled.

"Brother Cong, they are too many people (Brother Cong, they deceive people too much)......

Belch......

It's so miserable, Xue Pan's mouth is swollen and he can't speak.

Jia Cong summoned the little guy next to Xue Pan, and after a while, he figured out the causes and consequences of this conflict.

It turned out that for the ownership of the restaurant in front of him, Xue Pan had a conflict with the Xia family, who was also an imperial businessman.

Of course, this matter is not that Xue Pan took advantage of the power of Rongguo Mansion to oppress people, but that the Osmanthus Xia family coerced the shopkeeper of the restaurant who had already received the Xue family's deposit to go to Daxing County to sign the deed.

"It turned out to be Lord Yucat, the slave maid has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and I ask you to forgive me."

The maid had already heard about Jia Cong's identity from her subordinates, but she was still neither humble nor arrogant, and said after making a blessing ceremony: "My lord, the original shopkeeper of this restaurant has signed a deed with my family in Daxing County and accepted my family's silver, but the Xue family came to the restaurant to entangle and provoke my girl. Even if the Rongguo Mansion is high, it can't be unreasonable."

Jia Cong smiled: "Sharp teeth and sharp mouth, I will be unreasonable, what can you do with the master?"

"The folk girl can't do anything to Lord Xiao Jia, but the "Great Xia Law" can."

The voice is cold, and its owner is in good shape.

Xue Pan glanced at the woman who walked out of the restaurant, and whispered in Jia Cong's ear, "She is the only daughter of the Xia family......

Jia Cong nodded slightly, it turned out to be Xue Pan's evil fate in the original book, Xia Jingui, the girl of the Osmanthus Xia family.

I saw that this woman was wearing a light veil, with gold and jade on her head, and the dresses on her body were all exquisite, and her figure was enchanting......

Although I can't see how it looks, it makes the melon eaters around me reverie.

Even Xue Pan, who was beaten into a pig's head, muttered: "I just saw it by chance, and it looks like it really doesn't poke ......"...

"Brother Xue has taken a fancy to this woman? Why don't I go back and tell my aunt and ask her to invite someone to Xia's house to talk to the matchmaker?"

Hearing Jia Cong's joke, the pig's head pan immediately shook like a rattle: "No, no, the tigress is unacceptable!"

Xia Jingui saw that Jia Cong hadn't even looked at him directly, and he was very angry

She was suddenly depressed.

She frowned and said, "Uncle Xue made my restaurant uneasy today, and he spoke disrespectfully to me, my Xia family punished one or two, isn't it too much?"

Jia Cong gave up and continued to talk nonsense with Xue Pan, raised his eyes and sneered: "The Osmanthus Xia family is also qualified to say the word punishment in front of this official? Who gave you the courage to dare to beat my big brother Xue?"

Although the Osmanthus Xia family is suspended in the household department, the false title, like the Xue family, has long been withdrawn by the household department after his father's death.

The Xue family also has a male heir, Xue Pan, if one or two are dredged, the Xue family can also get another six-grade false title of the household department. But the Xia family has no male heirs, and by Xia Jingui's generation, he may not even be able to keep the identity of the imperial businessman.

Jia Cong instructed: "Go to the people of Daxing County and call the original shopkeeper of the restaurant. The official wants to see today, he has already paid the deposit, how dare the Daxing County Government transfer it to it."

Xia Jingui immediately panicked when he heard it, this restaurant is located not far from the imperial city, and the location is excellent. The person behind the original restaurant was cut from her official position, and she had the opportunity to use various means to force the shopkeeper to hang up the transfer sign.

I never thought that she just went out of Beijing to return to her hometown in Baoding Mansion, and after returning to Beijing, she found that the shopkeeper of the restaurant had reached a verbal agreement with Xue Pan, and even received a deposit of 500 taels from the Xue family.

Is this okay? This restaurant is what the master wants, and her Xia Jingui is only on the surface.

This Xue Pan is the nephew of Prince Teng, the prince of Du Taiwei, and the in-law of Rongguo Mansion, how can the Xia family compete with him alone?

So Xia Jingui went to the man's house overnight, and the next morning he took someone to catch the shopkeeper of the restaurant and forced the Daxing County Ya to sign the deed for his transfer.

Originally, with the endorsement of the county government, the Xue family could only consider themselves unlucky. never thought that the Xue family would have a new head of the family, which not only made the restaurant a mess, but also provoked the little devil star of Rongguo Mansion......

Xia Jingui gritted his teeth, took a few steps forward to Jia Cong, leaned over and said in Jia Cong's ear: "Little Jia, the slave family can't help himself, please raise your noble hand, the slave family will have a good reward!"
