Chapter 307
From De'an to Shaonan, all the way is the Cheng family's land, to be precise, it belongs to Cheng Jinzhou's land.Now, real rice is planted in these places, and Zhuang Ding is free to visit.Even the official land that should belong to the imperial court was taken over by the Cheng family without saying a word.

The carriage was driving on the newly built road. It was a loess road that Cheng Jinzhou did not know who built it. It was flat and wide enough to meet the standards of an official.

Although Yi Su was unhappy with Cheng Jinzhou's ignorance of him, he still praised: "If you spend hundreds of years here, you can really increase the value of the entire planet."

"You said it." Cheng Jinzhou has little interest in things that will happen hundreds of years later, no matter he is 15 or 25 years old, he always looks at his current age.

The carriage swayed and swayed unimpeded.Gentlemen who are on the same road, whenever they see the blue flag of the Cheng family, they will stop at the side of the road and wait for it to pass by.Let Xiao Cheng enjoy the treatment of the highway.

Before he arrived in Shaonan, the stewards of the Cheng family and officials from Shaonan would naturally come to welcome him.

The current governor of Shaonan has been replaced by the original long history Cheng Yunquan. His blood is farther away, but it is better than some uneducated family members.

In addition, the blood relationship is far away, and there is another benefit-humility.

For example, now, Lord Cheng Yunquan would personally come to greet Cheng Jinzhou outside the city. If he was replaced by someone with a close blood relationship and a deep background, it might be because of face, and he would show the reservedness of knowing the state.But it's really not a good idea to be reserved in front of the magistrate of De'an County.

Cheng Jinzhou did not show his anxiety, like a real nobleman, stepped on the servant's back and got out of the carriage, then cupped his hands to say hello to Cheng Yunquan, with a sense of joke, said: "Good morning, Mr. Zhizhou, Uncle Huafu is here ?"

Cheng Huafu is the bishop of the Shaonan Holy Church, responsible for the general affairs of the Holy Church in Shaonan and nearby areas, and also a pawn arranged by the Cheng family in the Holy Church. Like most noble families, everyone bet on both sides as much as possible. So as to ensure that no money will be lost - those with vested interests may not necessarily have a strong aggressiveness, but they have a strong desire to maintain the status quo, and they will be more conservative at the gaming table where they have to participate.

"Let's do alms outside the city." Cheng Yunquan gestured backward, and naturally some people ran to find Cheng Huafu.

"Let's go to the church and wait." Cheng Jinzhou said in an imperative tone.Although Cheng Yunquan is his elder, the status of the two parties is so different that in public places, the position has become a prerequisite-according to the tradition of the nobles, the title and seniority are actually higher than the position, but that was in under similar circumstances.

Cheng Yunquan made a gesture to invite Cheng Jinzhou to get on the carriage. The latter shook his head, rode on Lu Xu, and explained: "I am worshiping the morning light, and it is best to use the star array."

As he spoke, he rose into the air, and then his whole body lit up with a golden light, a standard sign of the coming of the sacrifice.

The local church in Shaonan is neither big nor small. It was under the jurisdiction of Father Li Zhong back then, and now it is in Cheng Jinzhou's area of ​​influence, so it has developed rapidly.

In fact, due to the dominance of the Great Xia Star Warlock Association and the government's secret opposition, it is not easy for the church to recruit believers smoothly.For example, Chen Jie had no choice but to take risks because he secretly joined the Holy Church.The temple in Shaonan can develop so quickly, and it can be regarded as one of the best in the entire Great Xia.

They now have the third largest building complex and the fourth largest number of people in the entire city. The only one that can surpass them is the Star Warlock Association, which is the Cheng family.

Nearly 20 priests in white robes got out of the room upon hearing the news, and lined up neatly, waiting for Cheng Jinzhou to arrive.

Xiao Cheng flew very slowly, and arrived together with Cheng Yunquan. Before they landed, they heard the deafening hymn.

In addition to the priests, more boys also sang hymns in unison. Many of them were recruited by the church recently—saving orphans and giving them correct teachings has always been the church’s responsibility. Good policy in poor times.

In the Holy Church of Daxia, it can also be called poor and weak.

"Jinzhou, I'll send you here, and I'll go back." Cheng Yunquan didn't want to enter the gate of the temple, lest he be impeached by the censor.

All over the court, countless eyes are staring at it.The current honor of the Cheng family is different from those high-ranking civil officials who overshadow the sky with one hand.For example, the high-ranking officials of the Zhengshitang, their family Yurou Township, expanded their base, and the entire aristocratic class and the civil service group recognized it as welfare by default, but when it came to the Cheng family, the civil service group and the aristocratic class spared no effort to attack with words. Don't blame the public, although His Majesty the Emperor has some self-knowledge and won't trouble Cheng Jinzhou, but the impeachment of Cheng's family is welcome.

"Uncle, wait a minute. You are familiar with the army and can help you." Cheng Jinzhou smiled and pulled him back.Chang Shi is like the political commissar of the army of later generations, and his relationship with officers seems clearer when compared with filmmakers and directors.

"Army?" Cheng Yunquan looked at Cheng Jinzhou and then Lu Xu strangely, wondering what the Star Warlock wanted the army to do.

"Let's go in and talk." Cheng Jinzhou said as he pulled him into the church, and at the same time whispered: "How much do you know about border disputes?"

Cheng Yunquan guessed it right away, and said: "You want to trouble the Northern Han Dynasty? Ordinary soldiers, they are not easy to mess with, and the frontier troops are all cavalry."

"Luoshan Pass is gone, why are they so arrogant? How do you think His Majesty the Emperor is willing to launch a war against the Northern Han Dynasty?" Cheng Jinzhou almost confessed that they are all a family, but there is no need to take precautions.

Cheng Yunquan shook his head and said: "It's not easy to say, the emperor used to have great ambitions, wanting to weaken the grassland and occupy Jingnan to enrich himself. But now."

He watched Cheng Jinzhou speak, and Xiao Cheng also understood what was going on.

The star warlocks showed unparalleled power, and their inner connection also made the royal family's differentiation strategy ridiculous.Since he is not the supreme owner of power, Emperor Lizong's interest is not so high.

While the two were silent, Cheng Huafu also rushed back to the church.This is a handsome bishop, with the typical fair skin of the Cheng family, and a friendly smile.

Cheng Yunquan took the opportunity to repeat Cheng Jinzhou's words, and then expressed his position: "I have no objection. Although I am now the magistrate, there are still many old troops in the surrounding garrison."

Cheng Huafu had an unexpectedly high degree of participation, and immediately said: "The leader does not need to be high-ranking. What can be done must make the Northern Han angry, and it is best to make the whole country angry."

"Would that be self-defeating?" Cheng Yunquan became worried.

Cheng Jinzhou rubbed his chin and asked, "How about killing one of their senior officials?"

What he was thinking of was the style of Japanese soldiers in World War II. Young men sent officials to find trouble, and the usual procedures would not change much.

"It doesn't have to be killing people. The Northern Han Dynasty doesn't care about blood." Cheng Huafu said in a low voice: "Now the water and grass are fertile, and the herdsmen in the Northern Han Dynasty have to live on it all year round. Think of a way on the grassland?"

……

Beyond the word count: Starting tomorrow, we will gradually return to the normal track.
