Qin's House

Qin Dafu and his family moved back home from Cihang Temple yesterday.

The entire Nandu City is under the control of the temple master, and the Qin family no longer needs to flee.

At dinner time yesterday, all the hosts except Mrs. Qin gathered together and were having dinner.

It was at this time that Qin Dafu received the notice of today's Wenyuan Pavilion meeting.

After seemingly indifferently sending away the bailiff who came to inform him of the matter, Qin Dafu finally couldn't hold it in anymore and a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

"Mom, did you hear me? I'm going to Wenyuan Pavilion tomorrow to discuss matters! That's Wenyuan Pavilion in the imperial palace, and only ministers above the fourth rank can go there!"

Madam Qin was also delighted and nodded vigorously:

"I heard it! My son has made it! Our Qin family has become prosperous!"

Then he clasped his hands together devoutly:

"It is really the blessing of our ancestors that our Qin family, as merchants, has such a glorious future!"

So what if they are the lowest of businessmen? They are the most trusted believers and subordinates of the temple master.

Today, the master of the temple has strong control over Nandu and did not leave him, a businessman, out when discussing matters.

This means that in the temple master's new dynasty, his Qin family will also have a place, and in the future, their Qin family will also have a share in being granted titles of nobility and appointed as prime ministers!

——Although they have just occupied Nandu, they have no doubt about the prospects of the new regime led by the master.

With the master's skills and abilities, he will sooner or later replace the Emperor of Wei and become the master of the world!

The two illegitimate sons and four daughters-in-law of the Qin family were confused at first, but then they realized what was going on and became excited.

"Dad, let's hold a meeting in Wenyuan Pavilion! That's a respect that only the rich and powerful can have! Has our family become rich and powerful?" Qin Yongtai was the first to speak.

"Then won't we be able to walk around Nandu City with our heads held high in the future?" The youngest son Qin Yongning was even more direct.

Qin Dafu heard this and slapped his chest, saying with a serious face:

"What are you talking about? You are so arrogant! All of you, please restrain yourself!"

"The master doesn't like those who bully the people. Anyone who dares to go out and do evil and ruin the Qin family's reputation will have his legs broken and be kicked out of the family!"

The two of them immediately stopped talking and didn't dare to think about these nonsense anymore.

Qin Dafu was so excited that he couldn't sleep for half the night.

He got up early the next day, picked out the most formal and decent clothes, and went to the palace.

At the gate of the imperial palace, Qin Dafu got off the carriage and headed to Wenyuan Pavilion under the guidance of the imperial guards.

The Nando Imperial Palace was built when Nando was founded and is larger than the imperial palace in the capital today.

Even though the royal family has not lived here for many years since the capital was moved, it has been carefully maintained by palace maids and eunuchs. Its majestic grandeur is incomparable to that of ordinary gardens.

It's hard not to feel excited while walking there.

Even though Qin Dafu had repeatedly warned himself at home to stay calm and dignified and not lose face as a close minister, he still couldn't help but pretend to look around casually.

Huijing was as excited as Qin Dafu.

She had been staying in Cihang Temple to take care of miscellaneous affairs, and had not followed the abbot to the capital like Huiyun to witness the grand occasion of the God Du'e being invited three times by the emperor and worshipped by tens of thousands of people.

It's not like Hui'an, who first led hundreds of miners and then led tens of thousands of soldiers to block the city gates.

She always thought she was just a housekeeper.

However, she never expected that one day, she, a woman of humble origin, would actually be qualified to enter the palace and participate in government affairs like those knowledgeable bigwigs.

Looking at the high palace walls and the magnificent palace under the clear sky, she couldn't help but feel a sense of heroism in her heart.

Senior Sister Huiyun said that all the powerful and wealthy people in every dynasty rose to power by following the founding emperor.

So what if she just follows the chickens and dogs who ascend to heaven.

Those founding heroes were able to rise from peasants to become pillars of the imperial court. She is no less capable than others, so she can do the same!

At one o'clock in the morning, all the people participating in the meeting had gathered and the meeting in Wenyuan Pavilion officially began.

More than 20 people who were going to participate in today's meeting had already gathered. They stood in two rows in the main hall of Wenyuan Pavilion according to their seniority.

One column was headed by Yuan Songbo, and the other was headed by Rong Niang.

Chen Qingzhu sat high on the gilded throne that only an emperor could sit on, looked at everyone, and said:

"The main reason for calling everyone here today is to discuss one thing."

"Now that all the military forces in Nandu are under my control, Zheng Yuannai has also declared that Songhu, Jinhua, and Ninghai have surrendered to me. It is only a matter of time before Yangzhou surrenders to me."

"I started this uprising to relieve the suffering of the people. So, the first thing we have to do now is to distribute land to all the people in the surrendered areas to relieve their suffering from hunger and cold."

Distributing land to the people brings many benefits to Chen Qingzhu.

The first is merit, which is directly related to the livelihood of tens of millions of people in the Jiangnan region in the next few decades, so merit will definitely not be lacking.

Secondly, it is public opinion.

Ordinary people don’t really ask for much, just to have enough food and clothing. They will support whoever can satisfy their needs.

In the area ruled by her, the God of Du'e, ordinary people can get three to five acres of land. Once this matter spreads, no ordinary people will not want to submit to her.

This can greatly reduce her casualties when expanding her territory in the future.

Again, only when the land is in the hands of the people can tax revenue for the national treasury be guaranteed.

Of course, equal distribution of land was not an easy task in any dynasty, and it was also a huge obstacle for her.

"To accomplish this, what problems will we encounter and what corresponding strategies will be adopted? I hope everyone can express their opinions and offer suggestions."

The purpose of gathering everyone here is to discuss feasible countermeasures.
