Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 158 The Beginning of Xiangyun's Disaster

"Shang Junshu Gengfa": Today I want to reform the law to govern, and teach the people more rites, fearing that the world will judge me.

The difficulty of the reform, Qin Zhiwei martingale, after ten years of practice, Qin Minda said, "The road does not pick up relics, there are no robbers and robbers on the mountain, and the family is full.The people are brave in public wars and timid in private battles, and the villages and towns are in great order.

However, those who have a lot of grievances from the clan and nobles, who died in the Qin Dynasty, are notorious, so there is a reason for that!Duke Xiao dies, Duke Hui ascends the throne, Prince Qian and others report Shang Yang's "intended rebellion", and are torn apart by Qin soldiers.

With the ability of Shang Jun and the trust of Xiao Gong, the powerful Da Qin still died at the time of Dazhi.

The territory of Daxia is ten times larger than that of Qin Dynasty, and the clan and nobles, scholars and gentry are even a hundred times larger. Who can be the Shangjun of Daxia?Who dares to be the Great Xia Shangjun?
"The most clear and inevitable thing in the world is that if the law does not change in China today, it will die."

Jia Cong hesitated, or he was timid and unwilling!

The Great Xia is now at a time when its prosperity is turning to decline, and perhaps under the current emperor's mending, there will be a trend of revival, but if the law is not changed to survive, the Great Xia still cannot escape the fate of decline in a hundred years.

Land annexation is the biggest shackle. When there are too many people in the Central Plains to survive on the land, it is the time when the dynasty rises and falls.

Thousands of innocent people will die in the fire.Turn it into the nutrient of this land, and nourish new people again.

Repeatedly, until someone dares to stand up and truly cultivate the world!

"Brother Cong, there is still time!"

Xu Jin took the jug off the stove and began to drink by himself.

He didn't have Jia Cong's impatience, and said slowly: "This time, with the hands of a saint, chop off a finger, see their reaction, and make plans. At least, the saint can hold back!"

Jia Cong nodded and replied: "It's true, the saint can hold back, so let's take this opportunity to see how many people can't help but make a move and how hard they are."

Just as he was talking, there was a sound outside the prison.

After a while, I saw Cao Jiugong walking over with a food box, and when he saw the food and drink on the table, he couldn't help but laugh: "It's just that XX came late, so you little fat man took the lead!"

Jia Cong stood up and cupped his fists: "Cao Dudu is also here to visit the teacher?"

Cao Jiugong lifted the food box in his hand, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is worried that Mr. Qingteng doesn't have enough wine, so he asked me to bring the food and drink. It's best to cheat a few poems back!"

"That's a good relationship, so the little disciple brought me a small pot, which is not enough to moisten my throat. You are greedy for wine. If you don't write a few crooked poems, you will be sorry for your majesty's reward!"

Xu Jin raised his hand and invited Cao Jiugong to sit down, the food box was intoxicating, and with the warmth of the stove, the three of them finally lay drunk in the prison.

After Liu Heng received the secret report from the Dragon Guard, he shook his head and ordered him to send Jia Cong and Cao Jiugong to their respective homes. Then he drove around the prison, swung left and right, and sat opposite Xu Jin, who seemed drunk but not drunk.

The smell of wine in the prison was still there, Xu Jin blushed slightly, and said with a smile: "I'm not Kong Ming, so I can't make a match in Longzhong."

Liu Heng shook his head and said, "I'm not Liu Xuande, nor is Da Xia a post-Han."

Xu Jin re-boiled the tea, handed a new cup of tea to the emperor, and said, "Then just talk about the problem of Daxia?"

Liu Heng took the teacup over, tasted the fragrance of the tea, and replied leisurely: "I'm all ears!"

Xu Jin sorted the teacups and wine glasses on the table and arranged them in three piles.

"My minister has three words. First, foreign troubles have never ceased throughout the ages. If there is no worry at home, it is enough to attack soldiers. If there are no natural and man-made disasters at the same time, Zhaowu soldiers can suppress foreign troubles for ten years without invading. Disaster relief is to destroy bandits every time. There are precedents in all dynasties. Treating it carefully can ensure the stability of the country for a hundred years. The third..."

When Xu Jin said this, his expression was no longer relaxed than before, but extremely dignified.

"Thirdly, I read the history books all over the place. In the 300 years of the dynasty, the flames of war are bound to come, and our dynasty is also inevitable. Your Majesty, the eternal foundation has never existed, why?"

Liu Heng replied subconsciously: "At the end of the dynasty, when the emperor is in power and the traitors are rampant, how can it not be destroyed?"

"Yes and no!"

Xu Jin shook his head and replied: "In the place of the dynasty, after the war, the population has withered, and the imperial court entrusted the land to cultivate the fields, so that the family can live. After two generations, the non-faint king will usher in a prosperous age. Scholars, tyrants and wealthy families will definitely look for opportunities to annex land properties. At that time, the poor will become poorer and the rich will become richer. After three generations, to the extreme, can [-]% of the land support [-]% of the people?"

Liu Heng's back was already getting chills. Jia Cong of Dachao had just said in Fengtian Hall today that nearly [-]% of the land in Wanping County had been annexed by wealthy families in the capital.

Can the remaining [-]% feed the tens of thousands of people in Wanping County?

"Will the clans, nobles, tyrants and rich merchants pay taxes to the court? Without taxes, how can we get food and money for disaster relief?"

"Afterwards, natural disasters and man-made disasters, but when there are droughts, floods, and heavy snow, what will the people who cannot survive?"

Rise up!

Maybe decades later, there will be wars everywhere in Daxia, and the people who can't survive will rush into the Forbidden City with swords and hang the emperor of Daxia on a tree with crooked necks!

"Your Majesty, the Great Xia at this time is the time when the dynasty is at its peak, what will happen after the Zhaoyuan prosperity is all in your Majesty's mind!"

After Xu Jin finished speaking, he continued his tea-making business, leaving the emperor staring at the constantly jumping flames in a daze.

Crackling, crackling...

During the burning of charcoal, there were occasional crackling sounds, which were very clear in the silent cell.

After a long time, Liu Heng turned around and asked, "What should I do?"

Xu Jin shook his head and replied: "Your Majesty shouldn't ask the minister, and the minister only knows what the minister should do. No one knows what your Majesty will do except Your Majesty himself."

Liu Heng asked again: "What is Mr. Qingteng planning to do?"

Xu Jin raised the teacup in his hand, turned towards the emperor, and respectfully said: "I plan to try it first, and whether the Lord Shang of Great Xia will also be cracked by the car..."

Liu Heng was taken aback for a moment, then raised the teacup in front of him with a smile, and said in return, "Then I'll see if I will be Duke Xiao or Duke Hui."

"Your Majesty, it's better to be a duke of filial piety, the minister is afraid of pain!"

Hahahaha...

The two monarchs and ministers looked at each other and laughed loudly.

……

The repayment of the money owed by the household department made Ningrong Jia's family almost become a festive mouse in the eyes of the noble relatives' families in the capital, but in the eyes of the common people, the reputation of Jia's family seemed to have jumped a lot.

The Ministry of Households has no money, so what can they do for disaster relief?Without food, how can the affected people survive?
Take a look at that young Master Jia with the cat tattoo on his chest, not only did he fight for our common people against the nobles of the Manchu Dynasty, but he also took the initiative to return the money owed by his father, and was beaten for this, what a nice man!
Jia Cong was indeed beaten, but the reason for the beating was not because of paying back the money.The main reason is that yesterday I drank in the prison and climbed onto the roof after returning home, clamoring for horses to tread the desert and enter the sea to catch dragons, making the whole house restless.

I'm going to make you drink like crazy!I asked you to go to the house to reveal the tiles!

So Mrs. Xiao Jia was severely beaten ten times by Mr. She, who had a headache from the quarrel!
"Brother Cong, you are now the Master Qingtian in the eyes of the people in the capital!"

The beaten Jia Cong was lying on the bed, while Dai Yu was arranging the manuscripts on the table, jokingly said: "Master Yumao, someone has sent the certificate to Rongguo Mansion, should you accept it or not?"

Jia Cong sighed: "If you don't answer, let's ask someone to post a piece of paper at the door, which says that Cong is not the official who inquires about the case. If you have any grievances, you should first report to the county government or the state government. The Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple ask for advice. If you don’t know anything, you can beat the Dengwen Drum!”

"Brother Cong said that if you are not in the position, you will not seek government affairs. The rope on your imperial cat is still held in His Majesty's hand. How can a suckling cat catch a big mouse? It's not that you are a royal cat. The person who leads the rope will be your backer. If you want to really be a royal cat Qingtian, you have to study for the imperial examination first."

Daiyu took a booklet from the bookshelf and spread it out in front of Jia Cong.In Jia Cong's horrified eyes, he smiled: "Come on, Sanlang, read it to my sister. It is said that those who govern the country must have their families in order, their families cannot be taught, but those who can teach others, there is no such thing. Therefore, a gentleman does not go out, but Become a teacher in the country."

Sister Lin, are you a devil teacher?My butt hurts, you won't let me go!

Crunch!

The door of the room was pushed open, and Yingchun walked in leading Xiao Xichun.

"The people from the household department are here, and they are counting the silver taels in the front hall...Brother Cong, you are robbing fourth sister's snacks again!"

Xichun was lying on the bedside, grabbing a piece of snack to eat Jia Cong, but she was slow to hide her hand, and Jia Cong swallowed most of it in one go.At this moment, Xichun's small mouth narrowed, and her bright eyes immediately became foggy.

Jia Cong groped from the bedside and found a small box of plum sliced ​​snowflake candies. He took out one and stuffed it into Xichun's mouth.

"sweet!"

The little girl whose eyes were foggy immediately burst into a smile, giggling and saying, "Candy, sweet!"

Jia Cong handed the whole box to Xichun, patted her Baotou and said, "Hide it well and don't let Second Brother Bao see it, be careful not to be tricked by him!"

"Speaking ill of Baoyu again..."

Daiyu lightly slapped Jia Cong on the back of the hand, and hugged Xichun to her. While playing with her little sister, she asked about the situation in Yingchun's front hall.

"Second sister, has the household department mentioned how to pay back the remaining money?"

Yingchun was about to answer, but she heard Wang Xifeng's voice from outside.

"The Minister of Finance has already negotiated with the father-in-law. Apart from the 10 taels this time, the Ningrong and Rongfu will pay back in five years depending on the harvest of the year."

Wang Xifeng brought Ping'er in, with displeasure on his face, and complained: "It's the wives and wives of several families who went to the old lady and said something strange, so angry that I almost couldn't hold back my curse. Come!"

Yingchun asked worriedly: "The old ancestor won't be angry with Daddy and Brother Cong, right?"

Daiyu smiled wryly and said, "Grandmother can't care about these things, the affairs of the historian are enough for grandma to worry about!"

"Yeah, I don't know what the two masters of the historian family are thinking. Sister Yun, a dignified noble lady of the Hou family, is forced to do needlework for money. Can sister Yun's needlework be touched by outside men? Hou Men Where is the decency!"

Wang Xifeng spat lightly, and said contemptuously, "Sister Yun's parents left her a huge dowry. Opening a box at random is enough to support Sister Yun when she grows up. Why do you need to sell needles and thread for money?"

Jia Cong, who was drunk yesterday, probably understood that it was Xiangyun's matter that gave the old lady a headache.Sure enough, the historian made a fuss again, this time asking Xiangyun to do needlework and take it out for money?

The dignified noble lady of the Hou family actually has to sell needlework for money?Is Xiangyun's reputation gone?Don't want the dignity of the prince's family?
Jia Cong, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked, "Is it only Sister Yun who is like this, or is it like this for both Xianglan and Xiangxue?"

Wang Xifeng sneered and said: "Brother Cong is still smart, that's what I asked at the beginning. Madam Shihou would not let people accuse her of treating her niece harshly. They said that Xianglan and Xiangxue should have been with the eldest sister, but Xianglan , Xiangxue’s needlework is not good, so she can only grow flowers at home, and when they grow, she can exchange them for money. After all, historians have to do their best to repay the money owed to the household department, so they can only increase income and save money!”
