Chapter 405: The eldest grandson of the greedy and lustful emperor
Seeing Zhao Ying's reaction, Jian Yong couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, he was really afraid that this emperor's eldest grandson was an unkind character.
That's good.
"Your Highness, although the minister and His Highness have never met, but in Zhangjun, I can often hear the rumors of His Highness, and I yearn for it, I want to go to the meeting in person, but I hate that I don't have the opportunity, but I never thought that I could meet here today, I am really overjoyed......"
Jian Yong is white and chubby, and he speaks very well. He raised his wine glass with a spring breeze on his face and stepped forward to toast.
"Your Highness, Drink Sheng—"
Zhao Ying smiled and got up to salute in return.
"Jane's guard, drink to win—"
The county guard Jian Yong personally got up to toast, and the county lieutenant Chen Feng naturally couldn't be left behind, with the drive of these two bosses, the other officials in the county didn't need to hint, they got up one after another, ready to toast the emperor's eldest grandson.
Zhao Ying smiled, picked up his wine glass, and looked around at everyone.
"Gentlemen, shepherd one side for the imperial court, persuade the farmers to teach the mulberry, and educate the people, they are all meritorious ministers of my Great Qin, this glass of water and wine, it should be my respect for you, come, gentlemen, drink to win——"
"Drink to win—"
Including Jian Yong and Chen Yong, everyone raised their glasses in response.
The atmosphere in the hall was getting hotter and hotter.
Driven by Jian Yong, a group of people talked about the ingenious farm tools of the emperor's eldest grandson, the great achievements of the emperor's eldest grandson who swept Mobei and subdued the Yue clan, the benevolence and love of the emperor's eldest grandson, and the talent of the emperor's eldest grandson......
Zhao Ying has received countless praises and sycophants.
Halo pottery.
No wonder so many people like to pat the dog's legs of the horse's whiskers, this is the feeling of being touted by the stars, not to mention, it's really good.
Zhao Ying waved his hand modestly again and again, and said that the monarchs were overrated, and at the same time, he showed a happy and complacent look very cooperatively.
As a result, more and more enthusiastic praise was ushered in.
This wine, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and drank until Zhao Ying was drunk, and seeing that he was already a little drunk, this banquet ended at Zhao Ying's proposal.
After a drink, the county guard Jian Yong seemed to have become a good friend of Zhao Yingtui's heart and talked about everything.
After the banquet was over, Zhao Ying was sent all the way back to the courtyard, and then he took Zhao Ying's hand, with a big tongue, drunk and authentic.
"Your Highness, you have been working hard all the way, how can you succeed without a few considerate people around you? When the minister heard that His Royal Highness was coming, he specially asked people to carefully select a few singers, all of whom were young and beautiful, and would serve people, and they would send them over later, and serve His Highness's daily life......"
Zhao Ying waved his hand with a smile, and then gestured to him with his eyes Not far away, the girl who was wearing a man's clothes and greeted her from the courtyard.
Entering the city today, let people see the eldest grandson of the emperor traveling with his daughter, what's going on?
Therefore, when I usually go out, I will prepare a men's dress for Ah Nu.
However, people are good-looking, what is really good-looking, originally quite powerful clothes, but they gave her a bit of swaying taste, especially the black power suit, which made her skin appear more delicate and smooth.
Under the moonlight, there is a different kind of charm when you look at it.
Jian Yong was still a little puzzled by Zhao Ying's eyes at first, but after following his gaze, he suddenly felt that the chrysanthemum was tight, gasped, and quickly let go of Zhao Ying's big hand.
This His Highness's taste is a bit heavy!
"Ahem, cough, cough - Your Highness, the minister will retire first, and retire first......"
After saying that, he almost ran away.
Zhao Ying was quite strange, thinking that this product had just eaten a bad stomach.
"Your Highness, why do you drink so much-"
Ah Nu wrinkled her nose with some disgust, and then tried to reach out to support Zhao Ying's arm, but the height of the two was too big, she couldn't support it at all, and watched from a distance, but it was the same as her hanging on Zhao Ying's arm.
"Your Highness, this is the sobering soup that the back kitchen brought you—"
When Ah Nu put Zhao Ying on the bed, turned around and brought Zhao Ying the decanting soup on the side, and was hesitating whether to feed Zhao Ying to drink, she suddenly stared at her beautiful big eyes and stopped what she was doing.
At this time, the emperor's eldest grandson, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, had clear eyes, where was there still a little drunkenness in his eyes?
"You're not drunk?"
Zhao Ying shook his head very seriously.
"No, I'm drunk—"
Woman: ......
This emperor's eldest grandson is playing tricks on himself again!
snorted angrily, turned his head and left, that delicate and charming little appearance caused Zhao Ying's heart to skip a beat, and then reached out and grabbed Ah Nu's arm.
"Stay with me tonight—"
Ah Nu's body stiffened, and she subconsciously wanted to struggle, but she remembered Wang Nan's instructions before leaving, as well as the heart-warming words that Xu Cheng had said to her in the past few days.
The body slowly relaxed, and was pulled into Zhao Ying's arms half-pushed and half-on the spot.
The eyelashes moved lightly, and the face was full of red glow, like a frightened rabbit, which made Zhao Ying, who had not been close to women for several months, couldn't help but feel more and more hot in her heart, and had the desire to gallop on a horse.
The curtain was violently pulled down by the big hands.
"Your Highness......"
The moonlight is hazy, the green trees are swaying, and the mottled shadows of the trees are sifted in front of the window, and before you know it, the time has entered the sixteenth day of the first month, and the spring of Daqin has arrived.
The next day, when Jian Yong personally came over to invite Zhao Ying to the front hall for dinner, he found that the small and handsome little guard beside His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun seemed to be a little inconvenient to move, and from time to time he would secretly glance at the Emperor Eldest Sun with affection.
Damn!
For a moment, he would have felt that the little guard's eyes were a little coquettish!
He suddenly felt a chill stand on end, and quickly looked away, trying not to let himself look at the little guard again.
"Your Highness, please move, the minister has already prepared breakfast in the front hall......"
Zhao Ying smiled and nodded, and then naturally reached out and touched the top of Ah Nu's head.
"You have limited mobility today, and rest in the backyard, and I'll have someone bring you food......
Jian Yong: ......
What the hell did I find something I shouldn't have discovered!
What made him feel a little relieved was that His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun didn't seem to be interested in him, and his eyes were normal, but even so, he still subconsciously widened the distance between him and His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun a little.
Although Zhao Ying's reaction to him was slightly strange, he didn't care much.
The breakfast was unexpectedly rich.
There's even steamed buns and fried dough sticks, as well as a millet porridge with goji berries and old ginseng.
Seeing that Zhao Ying seemed a little surprised, Jian Yong laughed beside him.
"These are all delicacies from Xianyang, and it is said that even His Majesty likes them very much, and I don't know if they are true or false......"
Zhao Ying couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
He didn't expect that the first thing to be accepted by the people of Zhangjun was these delicacies that he had inadvertently made, he nodded, and asked casually while taking his seat.
"These little things do taste good, and Your Majesty likes them a lot—I didn't expect that even Zhangjun already has them—"
Jian Yong said with a smile.
"Although Zhangjun is remote, there are also caravans to and from Xianyang, and these delicacies, which are easy and quick to make, and delicious, quickly replaced the original breakfast shops......
Speaking of this, Jian Yong seemed to remember something interesting, and said with a smile.
"It is said that many people who sell breakfast have no business because they don't know this, so they have to close their doors......"
Zhao Ying: ......
After breakfast, Zhao Ying returned to his cross-courtyard, and as soon as he sat down, he saw startled footsteps hurrying over. He couldn't help but look at him, and subconsciously sat up straight.
"Your Royal Highness, the person you confessed to has been investigated, it is a guy from a rouge shop in the city, his name is Kan, a local, who lives in Luzuo, a western suburb of the county, and there is an old man over sixty years old at home......"
Zhao Ying nodded.
"Do they have no land, or do they not have enough land?"
If there is no land, it is actually normal, and he is not ready to pursue it.
After all, when the initial emperor conquered Zhangjun, in order to stabilize the place, there was almost no movement for the nobles and wealthy families in Zhangjun, so although the law stipulates that each Qiantou will be allocated a certain number of acres, except for the land recovered from the unlucky ones who were destroyed because of the war, there is really not a lot of land that can be allocated.
As a result, many people, although they have divided their fields, but the acres of land are insufficient, or many of them are barren wasteland. And those local clans hold a large amount of fertile land in their hands, but they do not have the legal authority to these lands.
It's been so unclear for a few years.
However, in order to further stabilize the region, the First Emperor signed a new decree a few years ago, allowing the world to "be the head of the Qiantian". The so-called Qianshou self-cultivated land means that the private owner of the land is ordered to report the amount of land occupied to the government according to the facts, and the government uses the land area reported by the peasant households themselves as the basis for expropriating the land according to the area of land reported by the peasant households themselves.
This is undoubtedly a disguised recognition of private ownership of land.
This policy not only completely legalized the land of the nobles who held a large amount of land, but also led to the reappearance of quite serious land annexation in Chudi, which was far away from Guanzhong!
Some farmers who are struggling to make ends meet are starting to lose their land again!
The land issue, instead of being resolved, has become more acute.
It can be said that the issue of land is an extremely sensitive issue in today's Chudi, especially in Zhangjun.
It tugs at everyone's nerves.
At this time, suddenly someone shouted at him openly on such a public occasion when he entered the city, and threw this question into the open, making him have to think more about what this person meant.
Therefore, although he confused this problem by taking advantage of the matter of clearing the wasteland, he had to be vigilant.
Therefore, as soon as he turned around on his front foot, he arranged to be shocked by the back foot to investigate.
It's just that at that time, the alley was empty, and the man was hiding in the crowd, which brought a lot of trouble to the shocked investigation and took a lot of time. It wasn't until today that this person was completely found out.
glanced at Zhao Ying in surprise, and his face looked extremely serious.
"Back to Your Highness, no, this man named Kan not only has land at home, but also exceeds the normal standard by nearly three hundred acres, half of which is subleased to others......"
According to the records in the Book of Shang Jun: Counting Land, every adult peasant household in the Qin State at that time could be granted "500 acres of land" by the state. According to the size at that time, 500 acres is equivalent to 143.8 acres now.
Even if it is 143.8 acres, it is completely beyond the normal labor capacity of a laborer, and the reason why it is divided so much is only because the land is insufficient and needs to be rotated to ensure the harvest.
It was surprising to say that Kan and his son's land exceeded the normal standard by nearly 300 mu, that is, the father and son, the two of them occupied almost the cultivated land that the four farmers should occupy.
That is, there is no shortage of fields!
There is no shortage of fields, but in public, this question is thrown out directly, and the intentions in this are really mysterious.
Zhao Ying naturally understood the meaning of the shocking words, his narrow eyes couldn't help but squint slightly, and gradually a trace of coldness gradually appeared, and the good mood that had just accumulated last night almost disappeared all at once.
"Keep watching, be careful, don't startle the snake-"
"No!"
Shocked immediately, he received the order and went down to make arrangements.
Zhao Ying was alone in the study, silent for a long time, and then asked someone to call Zhang Liang.
"Old man Huangshi and Miss Xu Cheng, where are the people, they can be properly arranged......"
Zhang Liang's eyes flickered, and he bowed down.
"Back to Your Highness, it has been arranged, three days later, there will be a large temple fair in the county town, at that time, my master and sister Xu will take an ox cart from the west gate to ......"
Hearing this, Zhao Ying nodded lightly and admonished.
"We must arrange manpower to accompany us to protect, and we must keep an eye on the safety of the old man and Miss Xu, and there must be no accidents......"
"According to His Highness's orders, the minister has arranged for Xiaoyaosheng and dozens of elites of the forbidden army, pretending to be ordinary business travelers, and accompanying them to protect ......"
When Zhang Liang said this, he felt a little strange in his heart.
My little junior sister is okay to say, she was originally a jumpy character, whether it is for Qin or for the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, there is no obvious sense of belonging, and it is normal to be willing to agree to help His Highness.
But it is quite strange that his own master, the old man Huangshi, is willing to agree to make a move.
He felt that there might be something in it that he didn't know.
But I didn't ask.
This was Zhao Ying's second day in Zhangjun.
Zhao Ying was not in a hurry to investigate the origin of Zhangjun Wangqi, he went out to inspect Jiangnan on behalf of the First Emperor, even if people all over the world knew that he came out to investigate the truth of these things, but outside, he also went out on patrol on behalf of the First Emperor.
But there are some actions that cannot but be arranged.
In order to show his attention, he directly sent his most relied on henchman Zhang Liang to start investigating the matter "secretly" with manpower, and after hearing Zhao Ying's move, many people couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
As long as things are under your control, it's not a problem.
And Zhao Ying himself, with the county guard Jian Yong, as well as the big and small officials in the county and the storyteller from Zhang County, started another round of promotion work based on the charity hall.
Free education, free books, relief for widows and loneliness, relief for the poor, and training of new Henan opera talents who can sing on stage.
For this reason, he did not shy away from asking for a group of young and beautiful singers directly from Jian Yong!
What surprised him a little was that many wealthy families in Zhang County, after getting the news, sent several batches of high-quality singers to the eldest grandson of the emperor who "likes beauty" overnight!
In this regard, Zhao Ying gladly accepted it, and the family did not refuse, which made many people overjoyed, and when they left, the soles of their feet were about to float.
For Zhao Ying, he is also quite satisfied.
After all, to learn to sing, you have to be quick to get started with these basics. Moreover, even if it is singing Henan Opera, I have to admit that these good-looking girls with good looks and figures are more marketable.
