The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

After Hu Tou left, Gu Jingzhi couldn't help but wave his fists.

That’s great. Liu Sandao brought the people back. This time, the Gu family can’t escape. As for the aristocratic families, Gu Jingzhi never thought that a mere land case could solve all the problems of the aristocratic families.

Even without land, they still controlled half of the officials in the world and most of the money in the world.

Especially silver and money, Daxia has seen them for twenty years. Although the current monetary system has not collapsed, the currency has begun to depreciate.

Especially the silver note system, which has no practical use other than being convenient to carry.

in contrast.

As time went by, those noble families gradually exchanged their silver notes for silver and stored them, resulting in less and less silver circulating in the market.

The people had no money to use, which naturally led to the court printing more silver notes and minting copper coins.

This has led to a gradual increase in prices.

If this problem is not solved, the economic system of Daxia will collapse soon, silver notes will become worthless, and copper coins will continue to depreciate. At that time, the aristocratic families holding large amounts of silver will become the dominant force in this country.

Currency is related to a country's comprehensive strength. If the monetary system collapses, no matter how well the land reform is done now, it will have to be paid back slowly in the future.

Of course, we have to take one step at a time and eat one bite at a time.

If we can make good use of the Gu family's affairs and promote land reform across the country, it will be a big step forward.

As long as there is land, tax revenue can be stabilized in a short period of time. The country will have money and can do more things. Otherwise, everything is just empty talk.

Unconsciously, Gu Jingzhi's thoughts went astray again.

……

After finally spending another working day in the capital, Gu Jingzhi immediately took some people from the mansion and rushed out of the city.

The people who were most sensitive to his movement were Emperor Xia and Gu Heng.

However, when Emperor Xia heard this, he just pretended to be displeased and cursed.

Didn't I just give him a holiday? Why is he taking another day off?

In fact, he and Tianshu both guessed that Gu Jingzhi must have something big going on when he left the city.

The capital was the headquarters of the inner guards, and with so many spies suddenly appearing, how could the inner guards of Tianshu not notice it? They were just pretending.

There is no need to guess who sent these spies. It was undoubtedly the Gu family.

From this we can also see that the matter of the Gu family is not trivial.

Since people outside can't come in, Gu Jingzhi naturally has to choose the right time to leave the city.

And Gu Heng had another question in his mind.

"Are you sure that the beast went out of the city?"

"Master, it is indeed the eldest son!"

"Him? How could you let him leave the city? What would he do out of the city?"

When Gu Heng heard the name Gu Jingzhi, his defenses immediately fell. Gu Jingzhi had been against him recently and was very angry. He would take any opportunity to trick his father-in-law and himself.

If someone said that Gu Jingzhi had the internal security do this, he would not have any doubts.

But there is really no evidence at the moment, and when Gu Jingzhi was on his way back to Beijing, he had no time to do anything else except resting in that small town and waiting for reinforcements.

The servants were also speechless after hearing what Gu Heng said.

They are just servants, and Gu Jingzhi is an official appointed by the court. You, as a father, can't control your own son, so how can we, the servants, do it?

How can we let the eldest son leave the city...

Are you sure you're not stupid?

The servant grumbled slightly, then said, "Master, after the eldest young master left the city, our people watched him all the way. They went to a farm in the suburbs!"

"Zhuangzi? What Zhuangzi? Whose name is it..."

Gu Heng asked subconsciously, but halfway through his words, he suddenly remembered that it seemed that Emperor Xia had given a manor to Gu Jingzhi before.

"Are you sure they went to the manor and didn't do anything else along the way?"

He couldn't help but be careful at this time.

Since Gu Jingzhi entered the court, he has come up with many strategies to deal with the Gu family and his father-in-law. With the support of Emperor Xia, even his father-in-law would be trapped in the schemes when he was not paying attention.

For a moment, he thought of the eldest grandson of the Gu family...

They both have the same surname Gu, so why is Gu Shun's grandson so outstanding? Gu Minzhi back then and Gu Jingzhi now, one is a martial artist and the other is a scholar, both of them are tough guys.

When he killed Gu Minzhi and then harmed Gu Zhen, there was no one left in the Gu family who could take the lead.

Before, I had the idea of raising a useless Gu Jingzhi. Although I let him study, the books he could read were only some classics, history books, and collections of literature. What's so scary about a bookworm?

Besides, Gu Jingzhi was originally meant to be a stepping stone for Gu Xiu.

But he didn't expect that after a scientific examination, his family was successfully controlled by him, which allowed him to escape from the cage. Now he has become a serious threat to him.

When asked by Gu Heng, the servant said, "Master, the eldest son took the servants on a journey of sightseeing and fun, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all."

"Also, according to feedback from the brothers outside the city, the eldest son sent someone to notify that manor yesterday, and he's planning to take over the manor today while he's on leave!"

"..."

"Alright, I get it. Go down! Have someone keep an eye on the outside of the city!"

Somehow, Gu Heng felt a little panicked. Too much time had passed, but there was still no news, which made him feel really uneasy.

Under normal circumstances, this obviously shouldn't happen. The Internal Guards have always been resolute and swift in their work, never delaying anything. But right now...

Gu Yong has been in their hands for some time, but no news has come from the capital.

The court was calm and peaceful, and it didn't look like anything big was happening. However, Gu Heng's worries didn't diminish at all. Even Song Yu, who stayed at home all day and lived like a lady, and Gu Xiu, who did nothing every day, noticed it.

Of course, after asking once or twice without any results, Song Yu was too lazy to care anymore.

Now that her son Gu Xiu has a hopeless future, she has no other hope. Although she hates Gu Jingzhi in her heart, she has always been warned by her old father and husband.

Now Gu Jingzhi is also a fourth-rank official, a respectable official, so she really doesn't dare to act rashly.

As for Gu Xiu, although no one knows whether he will hide in the mansion and curse Gu Jingzhi a hundred or eighty times every day, his future is hopeless and the brothel he opened has been closed down.

Thanks to the power of the Gu family, he was not implicated in the previous events, and now he has nothing to do. All day long, he either plays with a group of maids at home, or goes out to seek excitement with his friends.

He doesn't care about his father Gu Heng's affairs.

He even wanted to stay away from Gu Heng, for fear that Gu Heng, with a sullen face, would vent his anger on him at any time.

In short, the Gu family lived every day in such a strange way.

in contrast.

Gu Jingzhi finally started his next round of plans.
