Fenglin Tianxia – Queen with a Thousand Pets

Seeing Cheng Jia, who had taken three days' leave, reappeared in the Yamen, his superiors, colleagues and subordinates came to visit him for various reasons. Although there was a wall between him and it was in a friend's yard, it was enough to attract people's attention.

Cheng Jia ignored those glances and just stared at the official document that had just been delivered to him on the table and read it carefully.

Starting from Sichuan-Shu-Shaanxi Road all the way to the south of the Yangtze River, the value of ten coins is quietly depreciating. First, a merchant began to lower the ratio of ten coins. Gradually, the range became wider and wider. Now in some places, private Basically the price is one to eight. And it’s not just ten coins. In Jiangnan, the ratio of banknotes is also falling. Although the magnitude is not large now, it is a signal! Half of the 30 million guan taken out by the Zhengshitang during this war were paid with salt and tea coins, and the other half were paid with ten coins and silver notes. However, due to the over-issuance of salt coins and tea coins, it has become impossible to exchange them in kind. If When there is another problem with ten coins and banknotes, such a large amount will definitely cause a chain reaction.

Once it causes panic, it is no small matter!

Who is doing this kind of thing? As soon as this question was raised, Cheng Jia naturally thought of who it was. However, her power was all in Jiangnan. When had she been able to influence so many places? No, Han Tong has been operating in Shaanxi Road and Sichuan Shu for the past two years. It is entirely possible for him to start infiltrating there!

What does she want to do? Didn't she say she wasn't interested in this kind of thing? She has such a big world waiting outside, where she is free and vast, so why would she do such a dangerous thing?

Because of Yang Zhao?

Cheng Jia gathered up the official documents and rushed outside. He rushed to the yamen, directly pulled a horse and mounted it, then galloped towards Duke Dingguo's mansion.

As a result, it is not only the Zhao family and the nobles who suffer, but also the common people who suffer most directly!

Knowing that he was the one who Ling Qingyu had tacitly agreed to live in, Cheng Jia was not blocked, but rushed directly to Guanguanyuan and threw the official document directly on the table in front of Ling Qingyu.

Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this? Who will suffer the most when the entire economy collapses in the Great Zhou Dynasty? It is the ordinary people! They have no ability to defend themselves. If all their little money savings are destroyed, If it's water, there's no way they can survive! Cheng Jia had never yelled so angrily in front of Ling Qingyu, his fair face flushed with anger, and his eyes, which were always smiling, were full of anger.

You want to take revenge and cause trouble for the Zhao family, I will help you! But how much damage will this do to the Zhao family? What will happen if those people can't survive! Cheng Jia suddenly stopped speaking and looked at Ling Qingyu His calm face was in disbelief, and he said with a slight tremor: Is this your purpose? To make them rebel? Do you want to destroy this great week?

With a clang, Yan Qi's long sword was unsheathed, and Ming Lu's thin and sharp sword edge touched Cheng Jia's neck.

You're right. Ling Qingyu sat on the chair, glanced at the official documents with his fingers, and said, I not only want to destroy the Zhao family, I want to destroy this Zhou Dynasty and the Chai family dynasty. .”

Cheng Jia felt severe pain in his heart and closed his eyes unconsciously. When he opened them again, his eyes were like the endless desolation after a fire, full of disappointment and pain. He said: Yang Zhao died unjustly, but how could you Why do you do this kind of thing? To destroy a dynasty, how do you want to destroy it? First destroy the economy and then use the force of Heishui Pass? Let alone whether the 100,000 people at Heishui Pass can defeat the 400,000 Zhao Jiajun, and Bianjing Where are the 400,000 forbidden troops? Not to mention so many Xiang troops! No, you can't destroy this dynasty, you will only make life miserable and miserable for the people. In the end, the people who will die the most are the people, and the country will be hurt the most!

So what? Ling Qingyu signaled Yan Qi to put down his sword, poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Cheng Jia. He said calmly: Even if I don't do these catalysts, these things will always break out. What happened recently in the Political Affairs Hall , which one is not forcing the people to go to the road of death? Taxes are constantly increasing. The Xicheng Office encloses the innocent people's land and then asks the people to buy it back. The tea tax is changed from official discussion to trade and then from trade to official. Now that we have changed back to trade, the imperial court will have too much money. How many tea farmers and tea merchants will lose their money and their families will be ruined? Now the salt tax is also doing the same. If the salt tax is revised to increase the price of salt, how many people will not be able to survive? I It's just that the time has been advanced a little, but without the foundations made by your Emperor's Political Hall, what effect can such a small thing I do have?

But if you don't do it, we still have time to avoid it, and we can change it!

Don't lie to yourself, Ling Qingyu chuckled and said, How long have we known each other? How long have I told you about these crises? Can you change it? With that dog emperor of yours, those high-ranking officials who only know selfish desires for power and gain , Can you change those royal children who only see their rights but not their obligations? Why should you change a dynasty that is rotten from the core?

You said you didn't have this idea... Cheng Jia hissed. He couldn't refute it. He knew the disadvantages were there, but he couldn't do anything about it.

I didn't have this idea originally. I just wanted to join Yang Zhao and our friends. Let's build our own fleet overseas and fly all over the world. However, Ling Qingyu said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth: They even There is no way for us to survive at all. In this case, I will light up the fire a little. Only by destroying everything can we rebuild a country, a place where people can live and work in peace and contentment. In this way, those ordinary people can have a way to survive. They Only your descendants have a way to survive. Cheng Jia, you know this fact best in your heart, don’t you think clearly, do you want a king or a people? If you want a king, then don’t serve the people and the country under the pretext of serving the people and the country. The flag of the country has never belonged to one person, but to all the people. In the five thousand years of history of the Chinese nation, how many times have the kings changed? Who can last for thousands of generations? Only the country composed of our nation is in history. It has always been undefeated and continues to exist. If you really do what you say for the people, then you should know that the people's rebellion is never caused by the provocation of a certain person, but by the society and the system that allow them to rebel. If the people of Da Zhou want to rebel, it will definitely not be because I, Ling Qingyu, made them unable to survive. You know this better than anyone else.

After a pause, Ling Qingyu picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, and said: I promised people that after destroying the old one, I would build a country that is at least better than now, a country of freedom, self-respect and equality. For this, they will not hesitate to pay compensation. Take your own life. Cheng Jia, I want to destroy this Zhou Dynasty for revenge, and re-establish a country for my promise. No matter how difficult this road is, even if this road may accompany the lives of everyone around me, but Now that I have decided, I will not retreat.

Including your own life? Cheng Jia asked hoarsely.

Yes, including my own life. Ling Qingyu nodded, then smiled slightly.

So you are using me to win over the scholars and prepare to seize the world? Cheng Jia asked with bitterness in his voice.

To be honest, I actually look down on you scholars. What do you do besides empty talk? You claim to be serving the country and the people, but what have you done for the country and the people? Well, you went to the streets to write letters and fought for the rectification of Yang Zhao's name. But , before this war happened, what did you do? You are pedantic in your thinking and don’t know how to adapt. You pretend to be noble even if you don’t know anything. Scholars harm the country. I’m talking about you people. Ling Qingyu finished speaking with disdain and sighed, He said: But there is no way. The current social structure is like this. If I want to establish a country, I will naturally need scholars. Although I don't know how many can be used, I can find one and count it.

Seeing Cheng Jia's face turned pale, Ling Qingyu patted his cheek gently and said with a smile: Forget it, I knew you were too smart, I'm afraid I can't hide it from you. Don't come here again, I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore . You know, the county magistrate took the yellow silk and said to Zhao, who was covered in blood and had just come off the battlefield, that Yang Zhao was treasonous and the emperor ordered to arrest him on the spot. He refused to open the door to the pursuers behind him. Do you know what I thought when I was there? I heard that the man was a Jinshi, or Qingliu, a good friend of yours. I also heard that it was you who encouraged Yang Zhao to go to war, and it was you who only sent 30,000 soldiers... Cheng Jia, don’t come again, I will kill you...

Let me go, aren't you afraid that I will report you? Cheng Jia looked at her blankly. Seeing the coldness in her face and eyes, her heart began to freeze a little bit.

You can give it a try. Yan Qi's voice was as cold as the sword blade on Cheng Jia's neck again.

Cheng Jia didn't know how he got out, but when the door was closed behind him and Yan Qi's voice coldly ordered not to let anyone in again, Cheng Jia felt that the world in front of him had turned gray.

Cheng Jia! Wang Xuanzhi wandered around the door twice without coming. When he was about to go back, he saw the door open, and Cheng Jia who walked out staggered and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and he fell down. With a scream, he rushed forward and picked him up from the ground. Just as he was about to call the people from Duke Ding's mansion to open the door, his hand was gently held by Cheng Jia.

Send me... back to Cheng Mansion... After saying this, Cheng Jia fainted.

Is it really okay to let him go? Yan Qi hurried back to Guanguanyuan and asked Ling Qingyu. This person is too smart. He can deduce so many things from such a simple document. If he cannot be used by her, he must be her biggest enemy.

He won't tell the truth. Ling Qingyu flipped through the official documents and said calmly. Although he hates those Qingliu, it is undeniable that Cheng Jia is a really good person, honest and trustworthy. Even if he knew her plan, he would not do anything like informing her. He accepted her love and would not do such harmful things. She was beheaded, but he would stop it...

Rubbing his forehead, Ling Qingyu felt a headache. Cheng Jia would really be in trouble if he caused damage and tried to stop him.

If he really causes trouble, just kill him... Ling Qingyu sighed and said: By the way, we have already turned against each other. Send a letter to Mr. Zhu and ask him to come up with other methods. This scholar from Bianjing , we can’t handle it anymore. Let’s leave those yards and stuff to ourselves.”

Seeing Cheng Jia, who had taken three days' leave, reappeared in the Yamen, his superiors, colleagues and subordinates came to visit him for various reasons. Although there was a wall between him and it was in a friend's yard, it was enough to attract people's attention.
