"Different religions in previous lives, what ancient law? If the emperor does not get back to each other, what is the etiquette?"

"If you don't rule the world together, you will be lawless. The king of soup and martial arts is also prosperous without following the ancients; The destruction of Yin Xia is also not easy to die politely. However, those who go against the ancients may not be wrong, and those who follow the rites are not enough."

"Therefore let us legislate according to the time, and make the rites according to the event."

Xu Jin clasped his hands together and smiled slightly: "If I die, the new law is feasible, all the people will benefit, and the community will live forever, so why not die?"

"Teacher, people are dead!"

Jia Cong did not have the slightest doubt about what Xu Jin said, a wise man who truly achieved the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world.

When he was in Shandong, he dared to risk the disapproval of the world, killing prisoners, killing soldiers, and killing the Confucian family.

But Jia Cong didn't want to be like this, he didn't want his teacher to be the merchant of Great Xia.

It's okay to change the law, but if you want to exchange your life for that, he Jia Cong won't do it!

The words "The death of the people" made Xu Jin laugh, and he rubbed the apprentice's brain when he got closer, and said with a pleased smile: "That's why I accepted you as an apprentice for the teacher, inherit my way, and continue to change the law. God treats me well, and the great minister is full of peach and plum all over the world, not as good as my Xu Qingteng's only little apprentice. With you, where will anyone die?"

Jia Cong is a cross-civil and military body, Wen has the connections of Xu Jin and Lin Ruhai, and Wu has Ningrong and Ningrong as backers, not to mention the trust of three generations of emperors.

With such a strong background, when the time comes, he will really touch the interests of all parties because of the new coup law, and the successor Jia Cong, who can take Jia Cong what? Who would dare to take Jia Cong?

With the inheritance, the new law will continue to grow like a small flame with firewood, and eventually cover the land and become the prairie fire, and no one can hinder the implementation of the reform.

The teacher's expectation and trust made Jia Cong feel pressured.

For three days, Jia Cong buried himself in a pile of old papers, rummaging through information about the new coup d'état laws of previous dynasties. It's a pity that most of these books are from all dynasties, and what can be learned from the books in the collection at home is just scratching the surface.

Jia Cong had the intention of going to the library of the Hanlin Academy, but if he knew that he was looking for these books, he would poke some people's lung tubes.

Forget it, let's find another chance, if you really can't do it, you can only go to the East Palace to try your luck.

Jia Cong looked at some of the information transcribed from the law change, no matter which dynasty or generation, the law change could not escape three major issues: land, official governance, and taxation.

"It's a real headache, but in comparison, it's the easiest to deal with."

Jingle ......

With a soft sound, Daiyu tilted her head to look at the lines of small words transcribed in front of Jia Cong. The step tassels on the head shook slightly, colliding with each other and making a crisp sound.

"If the law is successful, the implementation of the rest of the new laws will be twice the result with half the effort. It seems simple, but it is actually the hardest. Honest people with high moral character do not necessarily support the new law, and those who support the new law may have corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and Brother Cong thinks that if the law is really changed, will the imperial court be honest and oppose the new law, or will it support the corrupt officials and corrupt officials of the new law?"

"This ......"

Daiyu's question left Jia Cong speechless.

People often say that good and evil in officialdom cannot be simply distinguished by honesty and corruption, but Jia Cong has always believed that justice is justice and evil is evil.

Jia Cong has always scoffed at the argument that it is better to do things with money than to be honest and conservative and inflexible.

But as Daiyu said, in the face of the three most basic elements of change, land, and taxation, he couldn't even say that he understood it at this time, let alone explored it in depth.

He was silent for a long time, and finally figured out one thing.

"No wonder the teacher gave me homework on how to alleviate land annexation, not solve the problem of land annexation."

Jia Cong couldn't help but smile bitterly, Daiyu's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she stretched out her slender jade finger and nodded on Jia Cong's forehead: "The road has to be taken step by step, Mr. Qingteng took back the knife he pulled out after the last time he proposed the new policy was frustrated. How old are you, how can my husband really let you do something to change the law, just let you go

Just know the way forward."

"That's right...... I'm stubborn."

Jia Cong carefully folded the sheets of paper that had been copied, found a bookcase and put it in: "The teacher's expectations for me are too high, and I can't bear it. He has the ambition of a businessman, but I don't have the courage of a businessman. I can't be as heroic as Shang Jun who is not afraid of life and death, and who changes the law to become strong."

Daiyu pulled a chair and sat next to Jia Cong, pinched Jia Cong's solemn face, and smiled.

"Brother Cong never lost his courage, when Yanzhou faced the siege of tens of thousands of troops, you can stand at the head of the city without fear of arrow rain, and you will be a great hero in the future."

Seeing Daiyu's behavior like coaxing a child, most of the solemnity on Jia Cong's face disappeared, and he held Daiyu's jade finger with a smile.

"At that time, I was in high blood, and every time the enemy retreated, I would be terrified in my heart. Big heroes are not so easy to be, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and the responsibility always has to be paid behind the responsibility. If it's just a waste of money, it's fine, but I'm afraid that this change of law will be unbearable for me to face and pay."

"Then take it one step at a time, at least now that Mr. Qingteng is in front, it is the reincarnation of Wenqu Xingjun, there will always be some immortal means."

"Sister Lin is optimistic, but I don't even have a clue about the homework given to me by my husband now......

Daiyu blinked: "I'll go with you, Sister Feng has been busy with family affairs recently, and she has to take care of the eldest sister, so she doesn't have the energy to go to Fangshan County to visit that Grandma Liu." I'll go with you the day after tomorrow, how about we also have a private visit to Weifu?"

Jia Cong slapped his thigh and said in surprise: "Yes, if I drive away and go as an official, it will be easy to be fooled. It's better to be bright and dark, the fourth brother is in the light and I am in the dark, so that those who are doing ghosts behind their backs can't be guarded against."

At this point, Jia Cong gently rubbed the back of Daiyu's hand: "Sister Lin, don't go, it's cold, it doesn't matter if my skin is rough and my flesh is thick, why do you have to suffer that sin."

Daiyu shook her head, and gently patted Jia Cong's unruly fat hand: "Who to look down on? I'm not a delicate little girl, a few days ago the imperial doctor came to check the pulse, and said that my body has been very good, so I don't sit still on weekdays, go outside for a walk. And I'm very interested in Mr. Qingteng's homework, why don't we compare them and see whose answer sheet is more satisfactory to Mr."

The old lady frowned and saw Jia Cong and Daiyu leave, called Jia Lian and said, "Brother Cong has fewer people with him, you can send another team of people to follow secretly." Every winter, there is no quiet outside the city, and at this time, he still takes Yu'er out, I really don't know what he thinks."

Complaining is complaining, and the old lady is still very worried about her grandchildren.

Jia Lian nodded: "What the old lady said is that the grandson will arrange it......

"Wait...... You go to Xufu, if Mr. Qingteng has time, invite him to come, I have something to tell Mr. Qingteng."

Jia Lian was a little surprised by the old lady's thoughts, but she heard the old lady continue: "Last time in Shandong, he used me and my grandson as bait, and I endured it. This time he used my grandson as a knife again, so he had to give me an explanation."

"Huh? What bait? What knife?"

For a while, Jia Lian didn't react.

The old lady glanced at him dissatisfiedly: "Stupid, Brother Cong'er was besieged in Yanzhou, and he Xu Qingteng single-handedly planned it, and the purpose was to wipe out the White Lotus Sect in Shandong. This time there was a problem for Brother Cong, of course, he did regard Brother Cong as the heir of the mantle, but this inheritance, we have to ask our family if we want it. What's more, the success or failure of this matter is related to Brother Cong'er's future, he must ask me as a grandmother first."

"Old Ancestor, Lord Xu Jinxu, the right deputy imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, is here, and the old patriarch is accompanying him, saying that he wants to visit the old ancestor."

Jia Lian looked shocked and looked at the old lady in surprise.

The old lady waved her hand at Jia Lian calmly: "You go to greet you, mandarin duck, go and get the phoenix crown and xia veil, in the end, it is Wenqu Xingjun, our family can't lose its courtesy!"

As soon as Xu Jin entered the courtyard of Rongxi Hall, the maid and the woman stood in two rows respectfully, and there was an old woman wearing a super-grade command dress at the door of Rongxi Hall

, holding a dragon head cane, his hair is almost white, but he is energetic and majestic.

"The younger generation visits Mrs. Tai, and Mrs. Tai is well. I take the liberty to come here, and I hope that Mrs. Tai will not blame."

"Wenqu Xingjun can come, the humble house is full of brilliance, how can there be any blame?"

After a pleasant greeting, the old lady led Xu Jin in.

The old lady let the maids and mothers-in-law leave the hall, leaving only Jia Jing and Jia Lian as companions. Xu Jin didn't talk nonsense, and in a few words, he led the topic to Jia Cong.

"Senior Lin wrote to the younger generation back then, saying that there was a good child who could be my apprentice. At first, the younger generation only thought that it was just an exaggeration, until the sage ordered me to enter Beijing, hand-picked the juniors, and accepted Jia Cong, so as to plan for the prince and cultivate the future ruler."

Xu Jin was very solemn and bowed his hand to the north: "The sage said that Jia Cong was born to know that he is a wise person. or for the well-being of the community, or for the heroes of the troubled country. His old man had thought of getting rid of the future troubles with a knife, but Brother Cong was finally the grandson of the first Rongguo, and his majesty was able to protect him, so he had the later summons and temptations......

Jia Jing should have known about this for a long time and always remained calm.

The old lady and Jia Lian exclaimed almost at the same time and took a deep breath.

"Later, the sage discovered that Brother Cong had a pure heart, like a flawless white jade. The sage believes that if jade is not cut, it cannot be made, and whether Brother Cong can become the welfare of the society depends on whose hand the carving knife holds. Therefore, the most important reason why the sage appointed the younger generation as Cong Ge'er's teacher is because the younger generation is pure enough."

Jia Lian already felt that his brain was not enough, he thought that the second sage valued Brother Cong so much for the sake of his grandfather and the Jia family's loyalty, and he didn't want to have such a story in it.

I saw Xu Jin stretch out a finger and point to the sky.

"During the Zhaowu period, there was a Wei Qinghe, and the two-day volley could keep Great Xia from chaos. During the Yuan You period, there was a Xu Qingteng, and the solid dynasty was stable for thirty years."

Speaking of this, Xu Jin not only did not feel the slightest shyness, but was full of confidence, and he asked leisurely, "What about after Yuan You? Would Mrs. Tai be willing to let Brother Cong become the third carefully cultivated prime minister to protect the country?"

The crown prince's guard of honor marched more slowly, Jia Cong and Daiyu's carriages and horses had arrived at Wang Pingkou, and the prince's guard of honor was estimated to be stationed near Shijingshan to rest.

Wang Pingkou is not a small town, there are two larger inns in the town, and Jia Cong has already sent someone to come over first and charter the entire inn.

After a day's march, Daiyu was already tired. This winter day is the first time she has been out on the road.

"Wangjiazhuang is not far from the town, at most half an hour away. We'll set off again early tomorrow morning, then head around the Grange near Xishan, and finally go south to Fangshan County to join the prince."

Daiyu was tightly wrapped in a quilt by the snow goose and purple juan, revealing only her small head. Jia Cong handed over the brewed tea, and he sat by the stove to add charcoal.

After taking a few sips to dispel the cold, Daiyu asked the maid to take the homework she had prepared earlier, and her face was solemn: "You also saw today that there are at least thousands of homeless people going to the capital on the official road. This is not yet the lunar month, and how many people have run out of food. It is said that the household department has already sent food to the counties for disaster relief, so why would the people go far and near to find it?"

Jia Cong poked and poked into the stove with tongs, and said with a little anger, "What else? It is nothing more than greed for ink, lying, and driving away. Aren't homeless people homeless people homeless people? Grandma Liu also said before that she just didn't want her grandson to become a landless outcast, a slave, so she gave up her face to Beijing to ask for help."

"Therefore, this assignment given to you by Mr. Qingteng should be timely, timely, and providential!"

For the first time, Daiyu talked to Jia Cong very solemnly about the livelihood of the society: "Brother Cong, in the past, I always couldn't understand why my father put life and death aside in Yangzhou, but now I understand. Self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world, Daddy is a disciple of a saint, this is his way, and it will be your way."

"Now, too, it's my way!"

In the end, Daiyu's eyes were shining.

Although the Gusulin clan is the family of Zhong Ding, it is also a family of scholars. Daiyu has been deeply loved by her parents since she was a child, and she is extremely talented in poetry and books, and she is even more intelligent.

Because of the trap behind

Because of the house, Daiyu can only see the world from the book, and after all, it is different from reality.

When she saw the emaciated and wooden-eyed homeless people on the official road, she felt for the first time that as a daughter of the Lin family, she should do something that the descendants of the Lin family should do.

What poems, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but for playing in your spare time. Wouldn't it be more meaningful if we could be like my father, inheriting the learning of the saints and leveling the difficulties of the world?

The rooster crows at dawn, and the carriage and horses continue to move forward.

Along the way, the soldiers were not idle, asking around about the surrounding situation. When he went straight to Wangjiazhuang, Jia Cong finally received the news collected by his own soldiers.

The whole of Wang Pingkou had been hit by the dam of the dry river in the autumn, and three or four out of ten of the people in the town had already borrowed money from Wang Pingkou's largest family, Wang Qingtang, the head of Wang Pingkou, and they had also mortgaged their fields and mansions.

"What a bunch of rats, shameless, immoral, lawless! One acre of land can only be exchanged for five buckets of grain from Wang Qingtang, and the grain has been completely cut off just after the winter, and Fangshan County has been delayed in releasing grain for disaster relief, which is waiting for the people to starve to death, so that Wang Qingtang can pick up the cheap land, right?"

Boom!

Jia Cong slammed the letter in his hand on the small case in the carriage, and Daiyu was also angry.

This is still Gyeonggi, at the feet of the Son of Heaven. And what about the far away place of the emperor of the mountain? Is it more ruthless and shameless, doesn't it even need to spend those three or five buckets of food?

No wonder Baoyu often says "national thief and ghost", isn't this a national thief and ghost?

"Brother Cong, don't be angry first, there is a Wang Qingtang in Wang Pingkou, how many Li Qingtang and Zhang Qingtang are in the entire Fangshan County and the entire Shuntian Mansion? Didn't Your Majesty crown you as a royal cat? You royal cat, it's time to catch these rats!"

Daiyu held Jia Cong's trembling hand and comforted me softly: "Your Majesty has appointed me as the county lord of Wen'an, I am a woman, I can't be an official, and I can't serve in the army to defend against the enemy, and if I want to report to Jun'en, there is no other way. Now that we are borrowing the tiger power of your royal cat, we will not do anything this winter, so we will catch this group of rats for Your Majesty and the people of the world."

Grandma Liu went to the capital to ask for help, which was originally in the eyes of her son-in-law Wang Gou'er, but it was nothing more than a waste of energy.

I didn't think that my mother-in-law really brought back several truckloads of food a few days later, and she also got more than 30 taels of silver, as well as cloth and meat.

The most important thing is the books and the four treasures of the study given by the nobles, which made Wang Gou'er almost think that he was dreaming.

With this food, Wang Gou'er's family finally endured the most difficult days. Even though many people in Wangjiazhuang have run out of cooking and have to go out to beg for food, the two little dolls of the Wang family have not been frozen or starved.

People are hungry, and anything can happen. Grandma Liu has experienced several natural and man-made disasters, so she gave up several bags of food earlier and handed them to the village chief, so that the village chief is responsible for helping the old and weak in the village.

He also instructed his daughter and son-in-law to be cautious in their words and deeds, and not to show their wealth, so as to avoid the calculations of the red-eyed people.

On this day, she was sitting on the kang and calculating with her daughter the consumption of money and food these days, when she suddenly heard someone calling her outside the courtyard.

"Auntie, aunt, aunt......"

Grandma Liu put on her shoes and came to the door, only to find out that it was Wang Bao who lived at the entrance of the village. Speaking of it, he is the cousin of his son-in-law Wang Gou'er.

However, Wang Bao did not come alone, and there was a well-dressed strong man beside him.

"It's Bao'er, what's the matter?"

Wang Bao pointed to the person beside him and smiled, "A noble person came to the entrance of the village, saying that he was looking for his aunt. No, the guard next to the noble man came over first to hit the front station, and the nobleman's chariot and horse were about to come."

"Noble?"

When Grandma Liu was puzzled, the strong man arched his hand: "Grandma Liu, below is the third master of Rongguo Mansion and the former soldiers, the third master and the county lord of Lin will be there soon, and please Grandma Liu clean up, the nobles will have a meal at your home at noon."

Yes?

Grandma Liu didn't expect the nobles of Rongguo Mansion to come to her house at all, and she didn't react for a while.

Or a string of servants and maids who entered the door immediately, made her turn her mind.

"Dog, Qing'er, come out quickly, the nobleman is coming

We're here!"

Wangjiazhuang is not big, there are only about 50 households in total.

The carriage of Rongguo Mansion is extremely luxurious, and the personal soldiers brought by Jia Cong are all wearing long knives on their waists and riding high-headed horses, which is full of nobility.

After entering Wangjiazhuang, those little dolls with thin faces but also full of curiosity coincidentally looked at the nobles they had never seen not far away.

"Mama Wang, you go and ask someone to bring some food to those children, not too much, just enough to eat for a few days."

Daiyu lowered the curtain, and the touch in her heart was stronger than before.

The largest of these children is no older than Brother Cong'er, and the youngest is not as big as Brother Lan, but the big head and thin body look so incoordinated.

She remembered the food she threw away when she couldn't finish eating on weekdays, and couldn't help muttering to herself: "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road......

Jia Cong felt Daiyu's low mood, held her hand and said, "There will be grain, I have obtained several kinds of grain, and I have ordered people to secretly cultivate them in Zhuangzi. It won't be long before I dare not say that there will be no more hunger in the world, at least we can feed most of the people."

"Really?"

The expectation in Daiyu's eyes made Jia Cong feel that the person in front of him was his best life partner.

Maybe the two of them don't have to be in the inner house for a lifetime, but they can also walk together.

He laughed: "It's more real than real gold, and when the spring is plowing, I'll take you to the Zhuangzi to have a look."

?Pass?? Referral ticket?
