Chapter Eighty-Six: Idleness

Zhuang Feng didn't think about the real reason behind Duzhou's matter for a while;

"It's not that simple;" Zhuang Feng thought, and said to himself in a rather heavy voice;

Tang Guiyi looked at Zhuang Feng a little heavy, and said there: "What do you think, Duzhou is so far away from us, and it is a place directly under the jurisdiction of Jindu, so it has nothing to do with us, right?"

"It's just a feeling, Jin won't choose Duzhou for no reason;" Zhuang Feng said;

"Qin Xiang may want to eat Shihe vinegar carp, it's a specialty of Duzhou;" Meng Yuanhua didn't think much about it, and said jokingly;

Listening to Meng Yuanhua's joke that seemed to be casual chatter, Zhuang Feng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed with there, and then stood up and pulled up Meng Yuanhua, who was idle there, and hugged him;

Meng Yuanhua didn't react to Zhuang Feng's inexplicable behavior, he was not happy or excited because Zhuang Feng would actually hug her into the cup, some were just inexplicable;

"Hua'er, I love you;" Zhuang Feng hugged Meng Yuanhua and said there;

If Zhuang Feng hadn't said this quite excitedly, but should have hugged the woman he liked and whispered softly in his ear, then Meng Yuanhua would definitely be moved;

It's just that Zhuang Feng was too excited, and Meng Yuanhua couldn't feel Zhuang Feng's tenderness, so she couldn't figure out the way there, and she was stunned there for some reason, letting Zhuang Feng hug her;

Looking at Zhuang Feng's inexplicable behavior, Tang Guiyi also stared at the same way, and he couldn't figure out the number of ways, and he didn't understand which one Zhuang Feng was singing;

It was easy to see that Zhuang Feng seemed to calm down from the excitement and let go of Meng Yuanhua there, but this mutation also happened at this time, Zhuang Feng did let go of Meng Yuanhua, but when he let go, he actually held Meng Yuanhua's face with both hands and kissed him fiercely;

Then Zhuang Feng said somewhere: "Hua'er, you are so cute, I love you to death;"

Regarding Zhuang Feng's crazy behavior, Meng Yuanhua was completely blinded;

Not only was Meng Yuanhua completely blinded there, but even Tang Guiyi, who was watching from the side, was also stunned with a look of surprise there;

After Zhuang Feng finished talking there, he sat back again, full of excitement, and lit a cigarette with the habit there, only then did he see that Tang Guiyi and Meng Yuanhua both had blank expressions on their faces;

"What's wrong?" Zhuang Feng asked puzzled;

With Zhuang Feng's words, Tang Guiyi reacted first and said there: "Xiaozhuang, are you sick again?"

"Why, I haven't had an attack of madness for many years;" Zhuang Feng said unceremoniously;

"Then what are you, what are you;" Tang Guiyi hesitated a little and didn't know what he was talking about;

Looking at Tang Guiyi's expression, Zhuang Feng also reacted, which meant that he was too excited just now, so Zhuang Feng also said there: "I'm a little excited, heh;"

At this time, Meng Yuanhua also reacted, looked at Zhuang Feng and said, "Won't I just say a Duzhou vinegar carp?

"What kind of vinegar carp, I don't eat vinegared food, you know this, as long as you eat vinegared things, you will be nauseated and want to vomit;" Zhuang Feng continued Meng Yuanhua's words;

"Then why are you so excited?" Meng Yuanhua said disdainfully;

"A word woke up the dreamer, and the vinegar carp in Duzhou reminded me of Qin Su's true intention to purge in Duzhou;" Zhuang Feng showed a confident smile;

Listening to Zhuang Feng's words, Tang Guiyi and Meng Yuanhua were interested, and they looked at Zhuang Feng there, waiting for Zhuang Feng's next words;

"Qin Dongqin died, and the northwest is in chaos, this is a great opportunity to take back control of the northwest;" Zhuang Feng said with some excitement there;

Zhuang Feng said this, Tang Guiyi and Meng Yuanhua also reacted;

Zhuang Feng had told Tang Guiyi and Meng Yuanhua about the northwest before, and naturally knew about the Qin family;

Qin Qing fled to the Northern Urwu, and the two states of the clan lost their co-masters; the forces of the other three states in the northwest took the opportunity to enter, and the northwest was in some chaos in the past two years;

The northwest is chaotic, and Jindu has some ideas at this time, which is normal; especially when Qin and Su were in power, they can't just clean up some small fish that bribe, and they have to try the whole big fish;

"Didn't you say that the two states are still in your hands, and now that Qin Xiang intends to go northwest, why are you so happy?" Tang Guiyi reacted and said there;

Zhuang Feng listened to Tang Guiyi's words, and was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yes, it seems to be such a reason, others robbed me of my things, I'm still happy, I'm sick;"

"I don't know if I'm sick or not, but Qin Xiang is interested in the northwest, do you have a way to deal with it?" Tang Guiyi continued;

Zhuang Feng thought for a while and said, "Well, not yet;"

"Then if you're happy there, you won't be in a hurry?" Tang Guiyi said without good words;

"Why am I in a hurry, the five states in the northwest, I only have two states to protect the clan; this is past Duzhou, as well as Yanzhou and Haozhou, and I can't move the state for the time being;" Zhuang Feng seemed to have a plan, and said casually;

Tang Guiyi looked at Zhuang Feng's casual appearance, and also saw that Zhuang Feng had a plan in his chest, but he still said to him: "To the south, Yanzhou and Haozhou are temporarily blocking for you;

Tang Guiyi's words made Zhuang Feng fall silent, about Huangzhou's reaction, Zhuang Feng actually thought of it, but there was no corresponding countermeasure;

"Time;" After a long silence, Zhuang Feng sighed to himself;

Zhuang Feng sighed, Tang Guiyi didn't say anything more;

Meng Yuanhua looked at Zhuang Feng's somewhat anxious appearance, and comforted there: "There will be time, don't worry;"

Listening to Meng Yuanhua's words, Zhuang Feng reluctantly put up a smile and said: "Time is like a milk ditch, there will always be a squeeze;"

"It's called a career line now, and your argument is outdated;" Meng Yuanhua said jokingly with the other person;

"I know that it's better to call it a career line than a milk ditch; although the career line is a bit more Sven, but it sounds even more cruel; why should it be called a career line? Is a woman's ability proved by the so-called career line? Pull a few eggs; it is better to call it a milk ditch, it sounds vulgar, but it is just a man's desire to occupy a woman, but it does not belittle a woman's career ability;" Zhuang Feng said there with a rather disdainful look;

Listening to Zhuang Feng's words, Meng Yuanhua laughed with the others, laughing quite happily;

Meng Yuanhua is also quite contemptuous of the statement about the career line; or Meng Yuanhua, as a woman, is extremely disgusted with this statement about the career line, because as Zhuang Feng said, does a woman's ability rely on the squeezed out line to prove it? This statement is a complete denial of a woman's ability, as if a woman is useless except for those tens of hundreds of catties;

Zhuang Feng didn't quite understand why Meng Yuanhua, who was a woman, was so happy with his obviously mocking words about women, so he asked there: "Is it so funny?

Meng Yuanhua didn't follow Zhuang Feng's words, but he also withdrew his smile and made a cold face there;

"When I didn't say it;" Zhuang Feng watched Meng Yuanhua play with his face there, and hurriedly added a sentence;

After Zhuang Feng finished speaking, he lit a cigarette as he was used to, deliberately didn't look at Meng Yuanhua, and said to Tang Guiyi: "How long will it take to be in Qiaozhou?"

"With the current progress, it will take at least three months;" Tang Guiyi said calmly;

Zhuang Feng listened to Tang Guiyi's words, and also knew that Tang Guiyi had reservations about the time; where was it so fast to take over this state; but now with the ties of Qizhou, Zhuang Feng really couldn't leave at this time;

"Then wait a little longer;" Zhuang Feng thought for a while, and said helplessly;

There is no sunshine in the spring in Jiangzhou, and some are still cold in the cold winter;

Tang Guiyi and Meng Yuanhua continued the affairs of Qiaozhou, Zhuang Feng was still his boss, and Jindu's purge of Duzhou also continued;

At the same time as the purge of Duzhou was underway, Qin Su made another move and also purged Lingzhou, and a large number of people from the governor to the patrol police were unlucky;

Through the purge of Duzhou Lingzhou, several bigwigs in Jindu were naturally implicated, and several important ministries of Jinguo were also replaced, and several former cabinet members were also imprisoned;

Zhuang Feng, Tang Guiyi and Meng Yuanhua also chatted a few words with the several ministerial-level figures involved;

"Did this Qin Su take the wrong medicine?" Zhuang Feng chatted with the others;

"What?" Meng Yuanhua answered;

"Look at Zhang Yu from Lingzhou, he only adjusted Lingzhou from Kezhou a year ago, and now he is also unlucky;" Zhuang Feng said;

"So what?" Meng Yuanhua asked;

"Zhang Yu was transferred from Kezhou to Lingzhou, which was obviously to make room for Qin Xiang, so that the Qin family's people could go to Hakzhou;That is to say, Zhang Yu stood on Qin Xiang's side, but now it has been rectified, Qin Xiang is playing across the river and demolishing the bridge;" Tang Guiyi explained to the side;

Meng Yuanhua listened to Tang Guiyi's words and nodded there; with the change of cabinets, Zhuang Feng also talked a lot to Meng Yuanhua, the purpose of which was to let Meng Yuanhua have more insight and learn some things; for this reason, Zhuang Feng also made a special trip to sort out a list, and the people on the list were not conspicuous before the new cabinet, but suddenly appeared in the year before the cabinet was alternated, and took up important positions in various states or ministries in Jindu;

With some Zhuang Feng's speech, Meng Yuanhua can also understand Tang Guiyi's explanation;

"Qin Xiang's hand is not authentic;" Meng Yuanhua also said there with Tang Guiyi's explanation;

"There is nothing inauthentic, Zhang Yu is a wild thing, in terms of his official position, it also has a background, but when he came, he chose betrayal and ran to stand in Qin Xiang's team;

"Then you still say that Qin Xiang took the wrong medicine?" Meng Yuanhua listened to Zhuang Feng's self-contradictory words and asked there;

"That Zhang Yu has experience of betrayal, but since Qin Xiang has accepted him, he still has to let Zhang Yu live a good life for a few days, even if he doesn't like Zhang Yu's personality, he doesn't need to turn his face in such a hurry, this will make other people chill;" Tang Guiyi explained;

"As the master of the people, since others are effective, you don't care whether he betrays or not, he has the ability to see the belly, and he doesn't have the belly to rely on his personal likes and dislikes, but no matter whether he has that big belly to tolerate it, he can't turn his face openly, let alone Qin Xiang immediately turned his face as soon as he was in power, it was obvious that he had taken the wrong medicine and committed epilepsy;" Zhuang Feng also said there;

Meng Yuanhua listened, and nodded there;

Then Qin Su attacked the people who stood in line with him, so what would the other people who stood in line think; in this Jinguo's highest power transfer, it is impossible for all states and provinces to be his Qin Su's people, and others must be allowed to stand in line;

In other words, according to the rules of Jinguo, when the supreme power of Jinguo is handed over, the people below will also choose to stand in line;

The so-called way of being an official is not in ability, but in eyesight; as long as you choose the right team every time, it will naturally be promoted step by step;

As Meng Yuanhua followed Zhuang Feng for more time, he gradually understood the rules of many things;

After Lingzhou, Qin and Su continued to purge the prefectures;

Qin Su's behavior was naturally unanimously praised by the common people, but at the level of Zhuang Feng and Tang Guiyi, what he saw was a little different;

It seems that Qin Su is purging the rule of officials, and it seems that he really wants to return the Jinguo to a peaceful world, but those unlucky officials are all non-Qin officials;

In the midst of that praise, the rule of the officials of the Jinguo Kingdom became more and more chaotic, and the officials everywhere were terrified, fearing that they would be taken away by the supervision office in the middle of the night, or disappear after attending a certain meeting, or be sued by those around them for two drinking words in a place that they considered private;

However, Qin Su's move did gather power in the shortest possible time, and in the praise of the people, the officials of the Jinguo Kingdom were silent;

With the passage of time, Jiangzhou finally passed the cold spring season and began to enter the sunny summer;

Zhuang Feng lit a cigarette and fiddled with the pot of thugs given to him by Zhou Jian, in this season, it was the most beautiful season when the thugs bloomed;

Zhuang Feng fiddled with the blooming thug and said to him: "Qin Su is in power now, and the future will not be easy;"

"What's that, does Qin Su still dare to openly start a war;" Meng Yuanhua said unceremoniously;

"It's not a matter of openly starting a war, it's a matter of having a hard time for civilians;" Zhuang Feng said with a smile;

Meng Yuanhua looked at Zhuang Feng with some doubts;

Zhuang Feng continued to fiddle with the thug, and continued to say there: "According to Qin Su's method, within three years, the lives of civilians will be affected, mainly because it is becoming more and more difficult to earn money;"

"What is the matter with the economy?" Meng Yuanhua asked;

"In today's era when commerce is king, the biggest impact of the inaction of officials is the businessman, the businessman is affected and has no business to do or the business is reduced, the businessman has no food, which naturally affects the civilians who work;

Meng Yuanhua listened to Zhuang Feng's words, nodded and thought about something;

If it was put in Meng Yuanhua in the past, she didn't have the heart to think about this, because these things were too far away from her life, and now with Zhuang Feng's time, many ways of thinking have also been affected by Zhuang Feng, and she will also think about things that have nothing to do with her;

"Do you understand?" Zhuang Feng looked at Meng Yuanhua's thoughtful appearance;

With Zhuang Feng's words, Meng Yuanhua nodded there;

Zhuang Feng smiled and said there: "Back to 30 years, we are still mainly farming, and the inaction of officials has little impact; at that time, the people took the land as their life, the officials could sit in the yamen and do not need to pay attention to anything, the people would also take care of their land, and the officials only needed to collect the relevant taxes at the harvest time;"

"Now, after 30 years of commercial development, we have become an era in which commerce is king, and commerce is no longer as simple as bartering as in the agricultural era, and commerce has become one of the most important pillars of the country, and it has become as indispensable as farming."

"In the case of our country, small farmers have been eliminated, and large numbers of farmers have entered the cities and commercial establishments to earn much higher money than small farmers, and even agriculture has entered commercial operations, and large amounts of land have been rented by commerce for management and cultivation in order to form economies of scale."

"Now the Qin Prime Minister seems to be purging the rule of officials, as if it has nothing to do with commerce, but the characteristics of this business are destined to need official policy control, especially in the national conditions of our Jinguo, which is completely dominated by the government, and the development of commerce is completely dominated by the government, which is not comparable to the relatively free commercial trade like Rongxi;"

"Under the purge of Qin and Su, the officials became cautious one by one, and did not dare to make the slightest claim on their own; in particular, the charge of bribery made the officials even more afraid to have more contact with businessmen; without official policy control, businessmen naturally did not dare to take the risk of investment and trade;

"The reduction of the interests of the businessmen will inevitably lead to a large number of unemployment; judging from the means of Qin Su, if there is no change, there is no need for further rectification, and at this level, it will lead to an increase in the number of unemployed people in less than three years, which will then lead to a civil uprising;"

Zhuang Feng fiddled with his pot of thugs, and talked calmly there;

Meng Yuanhua listened to Zhuang Feng's words, and he could be regarded as understanding the situation of Jinguo, although now it seems that he is purging the officials, and the civilians are also praising him, it seems that he has finally waited for a Ming monarch for many years, but behind such a beautiful thing is a very terrible consequence;

Meng Yuanhua thought about it for a while, and then said, "Doesn't Qin Su know these consequences?"

"Since Qin Su can win the power game of Jinguo, he is naturally also a strong man, we can all understand these things, and Qin Su naturally understands them;

"I understand, Gu Jinxian can no longer meddle in the power of the cabinet, and Qin Su will become another dictator after Yang Yue and Zhou Xizong, who really hold power;" Meng Yuanhua said after thinking for a while;

"Yes, Qin Su will become the third person in Jinguo to really hold power since the beginning of the dynasty, in order to get this power and to keep this power, Qin Su knows what the consequences will be, but he will still do it;" Zhuang Feng said quite calmly;

"There is no check and balance on power, and another dictator is born;" Meng Yuanhua thought as he seemed to say to himself;

"Maybe he will be called the emperor;" Zhuang Feng followed Meng Yuanhua's words and said jokingly there;

Meng Yuanhua listened to Zhuang Feng's joking words, and was stunned for a moment, and then said with some hesitation: "No, since the fall of the previous dynasty to the present Jinguo, no one has been called the emperor in the past hundred years, not even Yang Yue and Zhou Xizong;

Zhuang Feng smiled and did not answer; now Zhuang Feng still can't see through Qin Su's ambition or ideals, but he vaguely has a feeling that this Qin Su's ambition is extremely great; as for why he has such a feeling, this Zhuang Feng himself doesn't know;

Perhaps because after this cabinet change, Gu Jinxian did not enter the parliament to provide for the elderly like the previous two terms, according to the rules of Jinguo, after the cabinet replacement is completed, the former cabinet members will enter the parliament, and in the words of Zhuang Feng and their families, they will go to the parliament to retire, and at the same time clamp the new cabinet;

The parliament, which was supposed to be the highest authority in Jinguo, became a nursing home, which made Zhuang Feng and other people from the family feel quite ridiculous;

This time, the former prime minister, Kotsu Hyun, did not enter the parliament, or the former cabinet members did not enter the parliament this time to retire;

Without this nursing home, this change came out;

The original nursing home still had some effect, at least it could restrain the cabinet and prevent power from being concentrated in the hands of one person; in a meeting of the current parliament, the new cabinet bluntly asked the parliament to make suggestions and suggestions on national politics, completely regarding itself as the master, and the parliament was just some insignificant staff;

Things in the world are like this, when you have them, you feel that it doesn't matter, but when you lose them, you find that something is missing;

Without these pensioners, Qin Su would have less restraint, and with the bold actions there, many bigwigs in the previous cabinet were also implicated in the purge, and now Qin Su is indeed in power;

The time entered the summer, and Jiangzhou also began to heat up;

The power disputes in Jindu are still in progress, and the purge of various states and provinces is also underway, and the southwestern states are also affected; however, the officials of the Zhuang family are all small officials with real power, and they have not been affected much in the purge; at the same time, under the operation of Tang Guiyi, there are even a considerable number of people who have taken the opportunity to take a few steps up, and Zhuang Feng is naturally satisfied with this;

Zhuang Feng, who is quite satisfied, is still living his small life as a cross-legged boss, and Tang Guiyi and Meng Yuanhua's acceptance of Qizhou has also begun to enter the final stage;
