Chapter 173: Achieving the Intended Purpose

After the Shangtu family touched a nose in the Tie and family ashes, there was an irreparable rift in the relationship between the two families, and the Shangtu family had no choice but to shrink step by step, and a large number of people consciously gave up the official positions that they had worked so hard to gain. With the contraction of the Shangtu family, the court began to gradually clean up useless officials, and promoted a lot of young and promising officials, so that the court used fewer officials than before, more energetic, in order to further stabilize the court, Xiao Jiu actually doubled the official's salary, which was doubled as the income of those who passed after the performance was upright. The Shangtu family is facing another increase in the number of Yulu, and the more positions are given up with a bitter face, and now the Shangtu family is only left with the position that they think is more important, and the whole court has a new look, and at this time Xiao Jiu will promulgate a more severe assessment order, and the official must be honest and honest for the people, otherwise the punishment will be quite severe.

With this series of changes, many followers of the Shangtu family who followed closely in the past began to leave one after another when they saw that the Shangtu family was now too busy to take care of themselves, and the upright officials began to look down on the officials who came out of the Shangtu family, and the officials of the Shangtu family gradually began to be marginalized. It was only at this time that the Shangtu family realized that this was a premeditated and well-planned attack against them. In order to cope with this situation, the Shangtu family began to move closer to the gravity family, in order to get the support of the gravity family, and the gravity family was also in a predicament, a large amount of grain could not be sold at all, and it could not be shipped out, and a large amount of grain could not be purchased, so that a large number of farmers who farmed the land had to find another way, and the cost of purchasing the grain and storage made it even more difficult for the gravity family, which was already at the tail of each family. At this time, in the face of the request of the Shangtu family, who did not care about him in the past, he also said that he was powerless. After this large circle of contact, the Shangtu family finally felt that this was a net that they had already sown, and now they were closing the net, and the first to bear the brunt was themselves and the Tie He family. So the two families are now in a precarious situation. At this time, the Shangtu family still didn't understand who had such talent, and they had already laid out the net without moving, allowing the major families to enter the net by themselves in the guidance, and then making you powerless to extricate yourself. On this day, the ruler of the Tie and the family was invited by the Shangtu family, and came to the third floor of the VIP card purchased at a high price in the middle of the food, and the first negotiation after the two families began to break down, when the Shangtu family said their feelings, the people from the Tie and the family also nodded in agreement, and the two families analyzed. thinks that this person must be in the royal family, because everything revolves around the interests of the royal family, and all actions have the shadow of royal promotion, especially the appointment of officials, which is even more obvious. But when it comes to finding this person, it's obscure. The first is the ancestors. When one is spoken. Everyone shook their heads at the same time. From being in power to retiring until now. He can be called an iron-blooded king, but he is not a qualified king, and the root cause of today's situation is still on him, and everyone knows him better than himself. If he had such wisdom, there would not be the current divide. The general is incomparably upright. But it is simply impossible to have such a clever approach to politics.

In this way, all the members of the royal family, whether men or women, went through the whole thing. When Xiao Jiu was mentioned, the people of the Shangtu family first thought of the doll that was leaning on the ancestor and playing with toys, and even more so mentioned. In the end, under the confusion, the target was set on the heads of the eldest brother and eldest sister, and became the object of attention of the major families.

Just when the two families were conspiring, what they didn't expect the most was that the shopkeeper actually listened to all their conversations clearly, and when they left and some didn't even get home, the shopkeeper was already describing them to Xiao Jiu in detail. When it came to the evaluation of Xiao Jiu, the shopkeeper hesitated. Xiao Jiu said: "It's okay, this is what they said, and it has nothing to do with you, just rest assured." ”

The shopkeeper said: "These people are all blind, as soon as they mention the son, they say that the son is still breastfeeding, what can they understand, don't mention it." That's it. ”

Xiao Jiu smiled and said: "That's right, it's just to keep them from knowing, that's why it took so much trouble, you did a good job, thank you very much." ”

After sending off the shopkeeper, Xiao Jiu stood alone in the courtyard and quietly pondered for a while, at this time the old ancestor just walked out of the room, saw Xiao Jiu twisting his head to look at himself, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and came to the courtyard and said: "You little goblin, I feel less and less like what people have, and I am still careful that I still can't hide your feelings." Why are the people of the major families aware of it, whether we take them all down in one go, or we have to take down the Shangtu family and the Tieji family, so that these white-eyed wolves can get their own ruthless and unrighteous ends. He waved his hand angrily.

Xiao Jiu shook his head and said, "I don't think it's time to move them." Seeing the stunned look of the old ancestor, he asked the old ancestor to sit down at a small table in the courtyard and said: "Grandpa, you think, the existence of these families has not been very short, can each family have such a little bit of family wealth in such a long existence, aren't we also hiding a lot of power, and those families will definitely have a backhand." Judging from the savings of so many years, it is to spend half of it to accumulate strength, and the remaining financial resources are far greater than the loss this time, and the accumulated power has not yet been seen, not to mention that the Shangtu family and the Tiehe family have been against the court for a long time, so why do they dare to openly oppose the court, all the explanations are not worth one sentence, that is, power. Only when they think that they have enough strength to resist the court can they have the confidence to stand up and speak. So now the power of the court is very obvious, the forbidden army is 200,000, and at least there are 150,000 available soldiers, so think about it, how powerful they are. ”

When the old ancestor heard this, he stood up in horror. Then he began to think about it carefully, and finally reluctantly admitted that what Xiao Jiu said was very reasonable, and couldn't help but ask Xiao Jiu eagerly: "Then we don't spend the whole day in confusion and danger, this is also terrible, we actually fell asleep under other people's swords, so I will immediately go to the general to discuss how to deal with it." ”

Xiao Jiu shook his hand to stop the old ancestor who was about to leave and said, "Grandpa, sit down, the sky can't fall." Otherwise, we would have been finished a long time ago, and we would have lived yesterday and tomorrow. are still a generation of emperors, how can they bear it so much. Hearing Xiao Jiu's ridicule of himself, the old ancestor couldn't help but blush, and Xiao Jiu continued: "Although it is said that their strength can compete with the court, but after all, they are in the dark, the personnel will not reach the number of forbidden troops, and all that is left is high-end force, it is certain that their high-end force will never have a martial king like you, if there is, they will do it early." Then it is a martial artist, and in terms of financial resources, there should be thousands of senior martial artists to meet their financial resources. When the old ancestor heard this, his face immediately turned green, these thousands of great martial artists are really terrible, not to mention this family.

Xiao Jiu continued: "But there should also be the cultivation of the family's own children, the cultivation of follow-up strength, weapons and equipment, etc., so according to the principle of cultivating the pagoda, then their power distribution should be one hundred to one hundred and fifty high-end forces, three hundred to four hundred middle-level forces, and five hundred to six hundred low-level forces." ”

The old ancestor listened quietly like a little doll listening to a story, and after hearing such a statement, he couldn't help asking: "Is there any basis for your algorithm?" ”

Xiao Jiu couldn't help but think of his husband Wang Chuanyilai, and couldn't help but admire the civilization of his homeland, and paused for a moment and said: "First of all, they tried their best to meddle in the forbidden army, which shows that their background is still not enough, and the time to cultivate their strength is not enough, and then the high-end power is likely to be recruited, and it is very uneasy to use, so it is still regarded as the number one enemy of the forbidden army, and it cannot be defeated by the forbidden army." Moreover, the Shangtu family and the Tiehe family dared to fight against the court, and it also appeared after the cooperation of the two families, so it should be that the two forces of the two families could not be completely defeated, which is in line with the number I calculated. This time they are willing to suffer this dumb loss, which also shows that they are not completely sure of the suddenness of taking advantage of the secret and initiating things, so according to the calculation of half of the opportunity, it is exactly this amount, so their strength is already clear. ”

Where had the old ancestor heard such a calculation method, but he just looked at his great-grandson in a daze, and couldn't figure it out: Is this so difficult that the seed that has been passed on by himself has undergone a demonic change, how can there be such a completely different person from himself, just wandering around the courtyard and calculating the opponent clearly, this is also too scary. Thinking that if it is such a power, then I am not very worried, and then I think of the power that Xiao Jiu is planning in secret, obviously this is a premeditated preparation, thinking about this, I can't help but admire the little guy in front of me from the bottom of my heart. Xindao: This goblin is too scary, fortunately it is his own demon species, which shows that he is also very powerful. Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing, and when I suddenly saw Xiao Jiu's surprised eyes, I felt that I was penetrated in Xiao Jiu's eyes, and the old face turned red and the laughter stopped abruptly, and I lowered my head and didn't dare to look at Xiao Jiu again. Xiao Jiu no longer cared about the strange appearance of the ancestors, and thought for a while and said: "This time, the major families have suffered a big loss and injured a certain amount of vitality, and they will definitely be careful in the future, so it will give us a lot of time. After all, our real opponents are not these moths, and our opponents will not let us develop safely. ”

When the old ancestor heard this, he couldn't help but feel secretly ashamed in his heart, he had already forgotten about this matter, and was about to ask Shi Xiaojiu: "Grandpa, you give me an order from my father to inspect the officials in various places, so that I can avoid trouble, and it is best to have the right to kill." ”

The old ancestor didn't ask, and nodded directly. Xiao Jiudao: "Make every effort to maintain the status quo, although we are not pressing the major families, but we must not give them any more room to move, take the opportunity to remove the privileges of the Shangtu family, let him participate in the government as a normal courtier, and do not interfere with the government affairs, and then let the Tie and family participate in the supply of military equipment as a normal supply businessman, whether to use your old control." ”

After speaking, he didn't care about the expression of the old ancestor, and went back to the room to sleep by himself.

The next day, Xiao Jiu instructed Rong Rong and the twins to prepare a lot of paper, pen and ink, as well as a lot of dry food and various condiments, as well as medicines for personal use. (To be continued......)
