Ning Rongjia's family, since the founding of Ningguo and Rongguo, has a total of 20 people. In addition to Ning Rong's own eight rooms in the capital, there are also twelve rooms living in the ancestral home of Jinling Mansion.

Whether it is the eighth room under the west corridor or the twelfth room of Jinling's ancestral home, with the blessing of Ningrong and Rongfu, the Jia clan has the worst life, and it has never been hungry and cold.

During the New Year's holidays, as long as the younger generation surnamed Jia goes to Rongguo Mansion to kowtow to the old lady, he will be rewarded with a silver bill, cloth and silk satin or something.

It can be said that although the old lady is sometimes confused and sometimes shrewd, the name of benevolence is widely spread among the clan and even in the capital.

And fame is such a thing, sometimes it really works.

For example, on this day, Jia Cong finally ended his lockdown career and went out through the side door to go around the West Corridor.

I didn't want to go out and didn't take a few steps before I heard a scream on the second floor of the teahouse not far ahead.

When Jia Cong walked up to the second floor of the teahouse curiously, he saw a group of people forming a circle, raising their feet and stepping on the ......

"Brother Cong, this is an assassin, I want to assassinate you."

"Third Uncle Cong, this bastard has been wandering around the West Corridor for several days, and my nephew has long found out that this person is sneaky, so he let the brothers keep an eye on him. Sure enough, as soon as you went out, he pulled out this ......."

Jia Cong fixed his eyes, and it turned out to be a crossbow. Crafted of dark iron, the arrows glow with an eerie green glow.

"Brother Xuan'er be careful, the arrows are poisonous!"

Jia Cong reminded him, so frightened that Jia Xuan almost fell to the ground without holding it steady.

Jia Shiyi took it and looked at it carefully, the crossbow should be specially built, and there was no mark of forbidden army standard equipment.

"Stop kicking, it's dead!"

In an uproar, the crowd around immediately dispersed, and Qi Qi turned his gaze to Jia Cong.

"It's not kicked to death, it's a dead soldier, his teeth are poisonous, and he killed himself by taking poison after being caught."

Jia Shiyi squatted on the ground and performed a simple autopsy: "The calluses on the tiger's mouth are very thick, and he is a practitioner. There was a dagger hidden in his boots, and he was also smeared with poison, and he was a ruthless man. Master Xuan, the next time you encounter this kind of thing, don't be reckless, it's too dangerous."

Yes?

"It's not an emergency, I'm afraid he will hurt Third Uncle Cong. And I used this, and with a snap, I gave him a scoop, and I didn't give him a chance to resist at all."

Jia Cong looked at the itchy and proud Jia Xuan showing off with a slingshot, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Since he used a slingshot to save the car in Iron Net Mountain, the Jia family doesn't know how many brothers have played with a slingshot.

Moreover, this group of gentlemen who are not short of money in their hands, all of them are made of fine iron, and if they want to rush to people, it is enough to go to the county government prison.

"Brother Xuan, don't be reckless next time. This time it was careless, and there was no flash. If the skin is scratched by this man's poisoned arrow, it will be too late to cry."

Jia Cong stood on tiptoe, patted his nephew who was more than ten years older than him, and said gratefully but earnestly, "Seventh sister-in-law is just such a son as you, it's good. When something like this happens in the future, come to the house early to tell me. Don't you like to play with knives? I'll go to the palace in a few days, and I'll see if I can get you a good knife."

Jia Xuan was overjoyed when she heard this: "Really? That's great, nephew, thank you Third Uncle!"

"Really, really...... Everyone saved my life today, let's go, let's go to Nanchifang City to have a good time!"

With a wave of Jia Cong's hand, the group of Jia brothers on the second floor of the teahouse suddenly cheered.

A group of people swept towards Nanchifang City. Before leaving, Jia Shiyi deliberately glanced at the two people who almost left the teahouse together, and secretly ordered Erlang to follow.

After Jia Cong returned to the Rongguo Mansion after inviting guests, the soldiers had already thrown the anonymous who died in the teahouse to the Dragon Guard.

He hugged a plate of fruit and ate it with relish as he asked, "Did you find anything?"

Jia Shiyi handed over a letter: "It's the dead soldier of the Dongping County Palace......

"Expected."

Jia Cong took the letter and read it, and Jia Shiyi continued: "Cao Dudu arranged for someone to follow him all the time, and Master Xuan's people were also secretly reminded by the Dragon Guard. At the same time that this person was opening the scoop under Master Xuan,

In fact, he has been hit by the flying needle of the Dragon Praetorian Guard."

Well.

This is also expected, where is a creature like the dead man that can be easily attacked by a boy like Jia Xuan.

"Cao Dudu said, let the little third master try not to go out of the house recently. His Majesty came to fish, and the Dragon Guards followed the dead soldiers of the Dongping County Mansion every day these days, planning to follow the vines and touch the melons and wipe out all the dead soldiers cultivated by the Qian family, and they have already found some eyebrows."

"Then don't go out, since our majesty is interested in fishing, then let's be a bait quietly and see if the fish your majesty catches, whether it's big or not."

Jia Cong was as good as a stream, put away the letter and went to Rongxi Hall. After telling the old lady about this, the grandparents and grandchildren summed it up, and in the afternoon, they asked people to go to the Tai Hospital to ask for a royal doctor.

Mrs. Rongguo Mansion was "sick" again, and even alarmed the palace.

Empress Dowager Cao gave a lot of tonic medicinal materials, and the people from Ningrong and Rong's mansions, including Jia Zheng, all went to the yamen to take leave on the grounds of illness.

The days of loose inside and tight outside lasted until the winter moon, when the cold wind blew through the capital, and when the Rongguo Mansion began to burn the stove and the ondol, a major event suddenly broke out in the capital that shocked the government and the opposition.

On the eleventh night of the winter moon, the dragon guards raided the palace of Dongping County, and the fighting did not subside until midnight. All the houses in the fang spent the night trembling, and before dawn on the second day, the Jingyang bell rang in the palace.

Jia Lian didn't return overnight, and when the bell rang, he returned home and pulled Jia Cong out of the warm quilt: "Hurry up and change into court clothes, there is a great joy!"

Jia Cong slept in a daze, and his mind was not very clear.

He rubbed his eyes, not noticing that Jia Lian was wearing armor with blood on it.

"A big event? The second sister-in-law is pregnant again?"

Syllable!

There was a slap on the brain, which suddenly made Jia Cong sober up a lot.

I only heard Jia Lian say: "The Qian family is finished, yesterday Cao Dudu called me over and mobilized a large army to raid the palace of Dongping County. Although the Qian family got the news out of nowhere and fled one step in advance, from then on, there will be no Dongping County King in Great Xia!"

What a joy!

The fire dragon had also burned in the Fengtian Palace, Jia Cong looked at the martial arts standing around, and the four kings with different surnames were only left at this time, Qi Wenhua, the king of Xining County.

There are only three or two big cats and kittens in the eight princes and twelve marquis, and the only one who can be regarded as a big guy is Wang Ziteng who is standing in front of him.

"Qian Kangshi colluded with the Jurchens and plotted against him, and I have ordered the raid of the Dongping County Palace, and the arrest of the Qian family."

Rumble!

There was an uproar in the hall, Liu Heng looked extremely angry, and threw a pile of folds in his hand under His Majesty Dan with a bang, and roared: "The Qian family has been colluding with the Jurchens, Goryeo, and even the Wa Kingdom for a long time, but you don't even know anything about it. Criminal Department, Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, Dragon Guard...... It is ridiculous that there are so many supervision yamen in the imperial court, and there is no news at all. Is it dereliction of duty or is it that you are in league with the Qian clan's rebellion?"

"Your Majesty's wrath for the sins of your ministers!"

"Anger? I can calm my anger, but where does the stability of the society and the stability of the people come from?"

Liu Heng suddenly flicked his sleeves: "The prince ...... Teng"

"The minister is here."

was suddenly named, Wang Ziteng immediately stood up and bowed in response.

"Qing is the ruler of the nine provinces, and he also inspected Liaodong before, telling me that everything is fine in Liaodong. Now that the Jurchens have a rebellion, and secretly helped the Qian clan rebel and escape from the capital, you go to Liaodong, when will the Jurchens be leveled and the Qian rebel beheaded, and you will come back?"

Wang Ziteng secretly said in his heart that it was not good, he was the commander of the nine provinces, but there were not many soldiers and horses under his hands.

Now most of the troops in Liaodong are under the command of Liu Yi, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, and the strength of the Jurchens is not small, and the large and small tribes add up, and there are always tens of thousands of strings.

And Liaodong is not his home field, if he goes to Liaodong, his nine-province system may become a fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered!

Liu Heng saw that the prince was delayed, and snorted coldly: "What? Wang Aiqing, don't you want to go?"

prince

Teng Qiang resisted, his face full of loyalty.

"The prince of the courtiers will receive the decree!"

"The situation is urgent, Wang Aiqing doesn't want to delay, let's go."

Liu Heng didn't send troops, didn't say that he gave the king the banner and didn't even give a tiger talisman for transferring troops, and asked the prince to vacate Beijing and go north.

Several martial artists who were close to Wang Ziteng almost took a deep breath and quietly shrunk their necks.

Wang Ziteng knew that this matter could not be avoided, and if he hesitated at all today, maybe the next person to be copied would be his own home.

He bowed down and promised, and then quit the palace and hurried back to his house to arrange for his departure from Beijing.

The storm in the hall has not yet ended, and Liu Heng has pointed the finger at the Xining County Mansion again.

"King Xining, I heard that a stone turtle was dug up in Hexi, and it was engraved with 'Xuanwu out of Hexi, Xining is the king of the world.'" Qi Aiqing thinks, how should I deal with this matter?"

fluttering, Qi Wenhua knelt down without hesitation, and there were three bangs: "Your Majesty, the Xining Royal Mansion is loyal to Your Majesty, and has never disagreed, this is someone framing the minister!"

"Qian Kangshi also said such things to his father, and the same is true of the Huo family who sank into the canal!"

Liu Heng didn't dwell too much on this issue, but said coldly: "The four kings with different surnames, divided into the east, west, east and south of Great Xia, the royal family has never treated you badly, I don't want the Xining Royal Mansion to follow in the footsteps of the Huo family and the Qian family one day!"

Knock knock knock......

Qi Wenhua broke out in a cold sweat, kowtowed and expressed his loyalty: "The minister remembers His Majesty's teachings, and he will not learn from the chaotic ministers and thieves, and he will be disappointed!"

The Dongping County Mansion betrayed Great Xia, and this turmoil swept the entire capital.

After the dragon guards searched the palace, they found a large number of letters, and after screening, a large number of dragon guards went out from the four gates and ran into the distance.

There are not many mansions in the capital that have been raided, and the Qian family has already aroused the disgust of the two saints since the year before last, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that they can't be friends with them.

What can be broken has long been broken, and what can't be broken has also secretly explained the relationship between the two governments to the emperor early.

"Jia Xiaosan, how are you reading?"

After approving the folds, the emperor put down the red pen in his hand, and suddenly walked over and knocked on the dull-eyed Jia Cong's brain.

Jia Cong, who came to his senses, hurriedly replied respectfully, "Huh? Your Majesty, the teacher said that the minister has passed the government examination enough, but there are still some deficiencies in the policy theory. Recently, I have just assigned a lot of homework to the minister, and asked the minister to go around the city more often, to observe the people's feelings, and say that only by traveling thousands of miles can he have something to say in the policy. Otherwise, it's just a rhetoric and a façade."

"In that case, I have given you a task......

Liu Heng walked to the dragon case, took out a letter and handed it to Jia Cong: "This is the excerpt submitted by Shuntianfu yesterday, since the 35th year of Zhaowu, a large number of displaced people will flock to the capital in Gyeonggi every winter to survive. I have already ordered the crown prince to lead this year's relief work, and you are a subordinate official of the East Palace, so go with you."

Jia Cong only glanced at the data recorded on the fold, then closed it and bowed to it.

I don't want Liu Heng to continue: "I don't just ask you to assist the prince to help the displaced people, the most important thing is to find out why these displaced people started and how to eradicate them, rather than simply putting grain for relief. Fangshan County has the largest number of displaced people, and when the food from the household department is arranged, you can set off for Fangshan with the prince."

This time, Jia Cong's face was much more solemn, and he bowed down and responded: "The minister Jia Cong has received the order, and he will definitely find out this matter and worry about the king!"

Jia Cong, who had left the Qinzheng Palace, had not walked a few steps before he was called to the East Palace by the crown prince Liu Hong, who had been waiting for a long time.

Liu Hong said straight to the point: "Mr. Qingteng secretly investigated Fangshan County, because it is adjacent to Xishan, there are many relatives of the emperor and martial nobles in Beijing, who are staking land in Fangshan, coercing and coercing the people to donate land at a low price or even free of charge. Even this summer, the dry river embankment was dug and flooded most of Fangshan, creating natural disasters to force the people to sell their land for survival. This time, let's go to Fangshan at the first stop to see who dares to do such a heart-wrenching thing at the feet of the Son of Heaven."

Jia Cong already has the answer in his heart, the teacher is really generous, he can

Enabling such a big move in such a short period of time.

Not only can he cover up his purpose of investigating the Wang family, but he also opened up the scandal of those unscrupulous magnates in one fell swoop.

Is this the teacher's second shot to the issue of land annexation?

Jia Cong dealt with the crown prince who was full of confidence and a sense of justice, and as soon as he left the palace, he quickly rushed to the Xu Mansion.

Xu Jin had been waiting for him in the mansion for a while, and as soon as he entered the study, he threw Jia Cong a large stack of account books.

"These things are the statistics of the division of land and property in Gyeonggi prefectures and counties, the ownership and abnormal transactions of these days, you can take them and take a good look. By the end of the year, you will have to come up with a detailed and useful strategy on how to alleviate the problem of land annexation between the DPRK."

Yes?

"Fight local tyrants and divide the land."

"The fields of the world, the people of the world plough together!"

Syllable!

Xu Jin couldn't help but give his apprentice's brain a look.

"Your family is a local tyrant, you want to beat yourself and divide your own land? Also, it's a good idea to work together with all the people in the world, but it's not realistic."

Jia Cong scratched the back of his head, the best solution to land annexation actually has to be the land G of the great grandfather in the previous life, which will be nationalized, and then implement the household contract responsibility system.

But there is no soil for this method to be implemented at the moment.

The Central Plains Dynasty has always attached great importance to agriculture, and the people regard land as the most valuable thing, as long as they have money, the first thing is to buy land.

Alas, this really gave Jia Cong a headache, looking at the thick stack of account books, he asked his teacher bitterly: "The students have thought about this, and they have also imagined several ways in their hearts. But the teacher, the students have always had a question, the people who have always changed the law have not ended well, and the teacher wants to set off a wave of changes again and again, so he is not worried about following in the footsteps of Shang Jun?"
