The Jagged Empire of Daqin

As soon as the gate was closed, Du Changjing jumped down from the beam, and said to Chang Zifei with a look of incredulity on his face, "Jia Luo turned down your invitation? How strange!"

"Haha!" Chang Zifei couldn't help laughing, "Now you know what I said just now, why can't you invite me for a while?"

Du Changjing shook his head, "I still don't know, how can he have the confidence to refuse you as a household doctor? Could it be that he is not afraid of revenge?"

Chang Zifei made himself a cup of tea, and after taking a sip, he said with a smile, "Jia Luo is a man of good ability and background, but he is straightforward and can't speak. If you work around it, you won't be a Tobe doctor for ten years!"

"So, this Jia Luo is a clean stream in the officialdom." Du Changjing couldn't help laughing.

Jia Luo's incident can be regarded as refreshing Du Changjing's understanding of the officialdom. He originally thought that those in the officialdom were old foxes who were very sinister, but now it is different. Having said that, it is a miracle that Jarrow's temperament has not died in the officialdom.

"No, you dare to drag someone like him into our camp, are you afraid that he will get mad and tell the truth?" Du Changjing suddenly thought of this serious problem, and Jia Luo spoke bluntly, and would not hide his true colors. , others can see what he is thinking at a glance, which is very dangerous.

"People always change!" Chang Zifei said disapprovingly.

"Uh..." Du Changjing was speechless, feeling that what Chang Zifei said was unreasonable, just like Chang Zifei himself, he used to have a clean sleeve and was not greedy for a tael of money, but now, for His Majesty, he has completely changed I myself became a notorious corrupt official, and the extent of selling officials and lords is less than clearly marked.

Jia Mansion, ancestral hall!

Jarrow was still sitting cross-legged on the futon, facing the ancestors' spiritual seats with closed eyes and recuperating. There was a sound of footsteps, and Jarrow, who hadn't calmed down yet, frowned, clenched his fists, and shouted impatiently: "I've said it all, don't bother me, can't you find death?"

Chapter 49 Three Ways! (Gu Yue Er Shi Jiu Ruozhu plus more)

The servants who hadn't entered the ancestral hall paused, and simply stood outside the door and said to Jia Luo's back: "Master, Mr. Chang sent someone again, saying, if you don't go, don't think about living well in the future." day!"

Jia Luo shuddered, his eyes opened, bloodshot eyes filled his eyes, his face flushed red, he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Chang! Son! Fly! You're cruel!" Jarrow was angry and helpless, knowing that he couldn't go Otherwise, if Chang Zifei was serious, with his current energy, it would be too easy to knock himself down, and his body might even be separated.

"Prepare the car!" Jarrow shouted lightly!

"Yes!" The servant was overjoyed upon hearing this, and the master finally bowed his head.

The servants were actually very worried that Jia Luo would continue to resist, because if Jia Luo was finished, he would be finished too, because once he left the Jia family, he could only become a refugee, and no one would accept him as an old servant of the Jia family.

After a period of time, Jarrow's carriage came to the Chang Mansion, and the servants of the Chang Mansion had already been told. As soon as they saw Jia Luo, they took Jia Luo to the inner hall to meet Chang Zifei. Changjing also received the news when Jia Luo came to Changfu.

Du Changjing jumped onto the beam again and hid himself, while Chang Zifei turned the teacup that Du Changjing had drunk upside down, lest Jarrow find out that there was another person before him.

"Master, people brought it!"

The servants of the Chang Mansion brought him to the door of the inner hall and shouted at the inner hall.

"Tell him to come in, and you retreat yourself!"

The servants left immediately after hearing the words, while Jia Luo took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and walked into the hall with a straight face, but just as he stepped over the threshold of the inner hall, Chang Zifei, who was sitting by the coffee table, took He smiled and said, "By the way, close the door!"

Jarrow is angry again, I am a guest, and you still tell me to close the door?That's the hospitality out there!

Furious, Jia Luo still closed the door, and then walked up to Chang Zifei with a livid face, looking directly at Chang Zifei with angry eyes. The position said: "Jia Langzhong sit!"

"Hmph!" Jarrow snorted coldly, sat up with resentment and anger, and then kept a straight face without saying a word.

"Haha!" Chang Zifei couldn't help laughing, made a cup of tea for Jia Luo, and then said with a smile: "Jia Langzhong is indeed the most difficult official to hire in the dynasty, even this official was invited twice, Or did you come here after you uttered harsh words at the end, when will Jia Langzhong's ass temper change?"

"Hehe, the lower officials are not like someone who can change everything!" Jarrow smiled with a sarcasm on his face.

Chang Zifei smiled lightly and took a deep breath, "Forget it, Jia Langzhong is straightforward, so I won't beat around the bush. To be honest, I have an opportunity for you now. As long as you can grasp the opportunity, you are the future." An important minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, you will honor your ancestors and revive the Jia family's ambition, and you will easily realize it, I wonder if Jia Langzhong is willing to listen?"

Jia Luo frowned, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a serious expression: "It depends on what is going on. If it is against your will, I will not do it!"

"I wonder what Jia Langzhong's bottom line is?" Chang Zifei asked with a half-smile.

Jarrow said nothing, fell silent alone, unwilling to speak.

Seeing this, Chang Zifei was also silent for a while, and then said, "Don't worry, this matter will not go against Jia Langzhong's heart, on the contrary, this matter should be what you most want to do!"

The more Jia Luo listened, the more he felt something was wrong. He felt that Chang Zifei was too weird today, why did he just say some stupid things.

"Master Chang said not to beat around the bush, but in fact he is still beating around the bush. The official's wife is with him at home. If there is something important to do, the official will leave first!" Jia Luo used his trump card to retreat!

"It's important, very important!" Chang Zifei said quickly.

"It's an important matter, so please speak up!" Jarrow replied impatiently, with no expression on his face.

"What do you think of His Majesty today?" Chang Zifei looked at Jia Luo indifferently and asked.

Jia Luo frowned again, and said in a hesitant tone, "As a subject, you shouldn't make false remarks about Your Majesty!"

When Chang Zifei heard these words, his heart was cleared, and he said, "If I tell you that everything I do now is ordered by His Majesty, what does Jia Langzhong think?"

"what?"

Jarrow was taken aback, his mouth was slightly opened, his eyes were staring lightly, his heart was overwhelmed, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. While Jarrow was shocked, he also felt unbelievable, as if his world view had been subverted.

"How is this possible, Your Majesty clearly..."

Chang Zifei suddenly interrupted: "On the surface, Your Majesty is a cowardly and useless young emperor, but in secret, His Majesty is an ambitious sage, and he is now planning a palace change. , Prepare to end the situation of foreign relatives interfering in power!"

"Gong... Palace change..."

Jarrow's frightened lips trembled, it was too frightening, the eight-year-old His Majesty planned this secretly, and the Queen Mother's party didn't even notice, what kind of city this is, Jarrow was so frightened and shocked, his mouth was so frightened that he could stuff a duck egg .

"There are three ways in front of you now. One, choose to shut up and let this matter rot in your stomach, as if this matter has never happened. , Wei Huai will reuse you, and you will be in no danger. The revival of your Jia family is just around the corner. Third, get on this big ship of the official and serve your majesty. In the future, your majesty regains the imperial power. Minister, you have endless glory and wealth, but if you do this, you will be very dangerous, because there is a possibility that this matter will be exposed at any time, once it is exposed, the whole family will be punished, you have to think about it!"

Chang Zifei gave Jarrow three choices, three avenues, and Jarrow chose.

"I'm afraid if I choose the first two paths, I won't be able to return home alive, right?" Although Jia Luo has a straight temper, he is not stupid. He would never think that Chang Zifei gave himself three paths so kindly.

Chang Zifei smiled tacitly and said nothing. Indeed, as long as Jia Luo chooses the first two paths, tomorrow it will be reported that Jia Luo, a household doctor, died suddenly on the street.

Jia Luo immediately got up from his seat, walked to Chang Zifei's side, bowed to Chang Zifei and saluted solemnly, "Don't hesitate about this matter, I choose the third option, and I am willing to follow my lord to assist His Majesty to complete the great cause! "

Chang Zifei was not surprised. All of this was within his expectations. He had already guessed that Jarrow would choose the third choice. It's just that the mouth can't speak, and it often offends people.

If not, Chang Zifei would not have chosen Jia Luo only from among the many officials!

"Okay, sit down, I trust you!" Chang Zifei stretched out his hand to signal to sit down, and his expression gradually became serious.

Fadao reminds you: ask for collection () after reading, and it is more convenient to read again.

Chapter 50 Martial Arts Wizards!

??

Jia Luo quickly sat back in his seat, looked at Chang Zifei seriously and asked, "Master Chang called the officer down, is there anything else?"

Jarrow's mood now is completely different from when he came here. Now Jarrow's heart is full of excitement, and he has ruthlessly left all the troubles he had had before.

"Yes, it's His Majesty's order!" Chang Zifei said with a solemn expression.

"Oh? Your Majesty, tell me quickly, as long as the officials can do it, I will do my best!" Jarrow said with great care. For him, the important things are not as important as His Majesty's.

"Your Majesty would like to know how much grain the Great Qin State treasury currently has, how many acres of fertile land the empire has, how much fertile land has been abandoned, how many households there are, and how much tax has been collected in the past three years. If you put these together, these are not secrets. , it's not difficult for you, but don't relax, this matter has to be done beautifully, and no second person besides you and me should know, otherwise there will be a possibility of exposure!" Chang Zifei said in a serious tone Said.

"Understood!" Jarrow nodded with a slightly solemn expression.

"Is there anything else, Mr. Chang? If there is nothing else, I will leave first!" Jia Luo got up from his seat again, and said to Chang Zifei with a solemn expression.

"It's okay, by the way, you have to pretend to be angry when you go out, and give the outside world a look that we are very unhappy about what we talked about. Also, after you get the things, put them in the tofu on West Street at night. At the door of the shop, someone will take it!" Chang Zifei said cautiously.

"Understood!" Jia Luo responded with a heavy nod, bowed to Chang Zifei, then turned around and walked to the gate, flung it open angrily, and strode out with blue-faced strides.

"I'm going!"

When Du Changjing's voice came, Chang Zifei nodded indifferently, and then Chang Zifei only saw a black shadow flashing by, but he could not see a trace of Du Changjing.

Time passed slowly, and the next morning, Jia Luo put on his official uniform and went to the yamen of the household department. It is a good thing for an official to be small, and no one noticed. Jia Luo easily stole the information that Ying Chang wanted, and then returned home to copy it. One copy, and put the original copy back in the household office.

At night, Jia Luo put the things at the door of the tofu shop on West Street according to what Chang Zifei had said, and then left. As soon as Jia Luo left, Du Changjing quickly took them away, and then sneaked into Chang's mansion.

Chang Zifei also copied a copy of the situation about the Ministry of Officials, and then summarized all the information, wrote it on a blank booklet, and then sneaked into the palace from Du Changjing, and handed it to Ying Chang.

At three o'clock in the middle of the night, the Imperial Palace and Xianyang Palace!

There is no light in the dormitory, and the young Yingchang is shirtless and fiddling with moves in the dark hall. Since Du Changjing taught Yingchang martial arts, Yingchang has never slacked off, and he has already gotten up to practice before the sun rises. Others are already asleep, but he is still practicing. As long as he has a little spare time, he won't waste it.

Ying Chang can't care about practicing martial arts and hurting his body, as long as he has martial arts in his body, he will have confidence!

"His Majesty!"

A voice suddenly sounded, and Yingchang couldn't help being startled. He saw Du Changjing standing at the door of the bedroom in night clothes. He was relieved when he saw that it was Du Changjing who came. High martial arts is good, and there is no sound when walking.

Yingchang stopped his movements, took a few deep breaths, sat on the side of the dragon couch, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his skirt, and asked, "Did you bring the things?"

Hearing the words, Du Changjing immediately walked up to Yingchang, reached into his bosom, took out a memorial, presented it respectfully to Yingchang, and said at the same time: "This is organized by Master Chang. If your majesty wants to know, write it down." up there!"

Yingchang accepted the memorial with a blank face, unfolded the memorial for a casual glance, put it away on the bed, and was ready to read it later, "How is your slayer training?" Yingchang asked indifferently.

"Uh..." Du Changjing was at a loss for words for a while, and finally told Ying Chang what happened in the past two days.

After hearing this, Ying Chang couldn't help frowning, and said with a hint of worry in his tone: "Are you sure there is nothing wrong with these two people?"

"These two people have been monitored for a day, and nothing unusual is found!" Du Changjing bowed down respectfully and replied.

"That's good!" Yingchang nodded, and then said immediately: "You must step up your training of dead soldiers. My mother cut off two counties again. If this continues, you may not know when you will cut off two counties!"

"Obey!" Du Changjing nodded heavily in response, feeling that the burden on his body was getting heavier and heavier.

"Your Majesty has been practicing martial arts recently, but have you encountered any puzzles?" Du Changjing began to care about Yingchang's martial arts.

When talking about martial arts training, Yingchang had a long-lost smile on his face, "I didn't encounter any confusion. I have practiced hard for the past few days, and I feel that I have become much stronger. Martial arts are really amazing!"

"Oh? Your Majesty has achieved results so quickly?" Du Changjing was a little surprised. Calculating the time, it took only three days for Ying Chang to practice martial arts, and the results were achieved in three days. This speed can be described as terrifying!

"Well, what's the matter?" Ying Chang asked back in a tone he was used to, not surprised.

"No...it's nothing..." Du Changjing's face was a little reddish, and he was a little embarrassed. It's really irritating to compare people...

"If it's okay, you can go first and hurry up to train the dead soldiers!" Ying Chang's face suddenly became serious, and now everything is ready, only the dead soldiers are owed!

"The last will be the first to retire!"

Du Changjing bent down to salute with a very respectful expression, then turned and left, and soon disappeared in Xianyang Palace, turned into a black shadow, and left the palace...

After Du Changjing left, Yingchang picked up the memorial on the bed and unfolded it for a closer look. Although the hall was dark, after practicing martial arts, Yingchang's eyesight improved and he could see two steps clearly in the dark.

The memorial reads: [In the third year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, the treasury had a total of 50 shi of grain, 20 taels of silver, and 5 taels of gold.The total amount of fertile land in the empire is 140 million mu, and 12 mu of abandoned land.The empire has about 70 households and a population of about 300 million.There are 680 officials in the series.Hyogo currently has 18 long spears and [-] sets of armor... ([-] characters omitted), the total number of troops is [-], [-] in Nanguan, [-] in Xiguan, [-] in Xianyang City, and [-] in Yangguan. Thirty thousand, five thousand from the palace! 】

[Sunshine Commander Zhang Wu, Nanguan Commander Luo Ming, Xiguan Commander Xiao Lai, Xianyang City Wei Huai, Imperial Palace Wei Huai, in the early years of the Holy Qin Dynasty, the imperial court collected 30 taels of salt tax, 16 taels of commercial tax, and 200 million grain taxes In the first year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, the imperial court collected 20 taels of salt tax, 4 taels of commercial tax, and 120 million shi of grain tax. .....】

Chapter 51 Cruel process!

??

Ying Chang looked at the content of the memorial, and his expression became more and more dignified. Judging from the annual tax revenue, the tax revenue of the Great Qin Empire is decreasing year by year, falling at a rate of three times. Hedong and Huainan counties.

Because Hedong and Huainan were originally the granaries of the Great Qin Empire, the total fertile land of the two counties exceeds the current total fertile land in the whole of Great Qin. Now that Hedong and Huainan are missing, it is natural for tax revenue to decline, but Ying Chang believes that there must be a lot of tax revenue that has not entered the treasury. into the private pockets of local officials or court ministers.

The memorial also stated that since Empress Dowager Min sent people to the Jin Empire to discuss peace, Empress Dowager Min issued an order to remove all officials, large and small, from Nanyang County and Hebei County. After taking office, all other officials will be removed, that is to say, all officials below the fifth rank in the two counties will be dismissed and become unemployed.

Once Nanyang County and Hebei County are cut off, there will be only three counties left in the Great Qin Empire, and the tax revenue, land, and population will shrink a lot. All of this is often seen in the eyes of the winner, anxious in his heart, and very worried that after he seizes power, How much land does Daqin need, how much population, and how many troops are needed.

The army is currently under the control of Wei Huai. Luo Ming from the South Gate and Xiao Lai from the North Gate are both Wei Huai's subordinates in the army and are Wei Huai's cronies. It is impossible to forcefully seize power from them. It can only be outsmarted, such as launching a palace change, capturing the thief first to capture the king, as long as Wei Huai and the queen mother are controlled, the rest are not a threat!

After reading the memorial, Yingchang threw the memorial into the heating stove. After the memorial was burned to ashes, Yingchang put on his clothes and lay down on the bed to sleep. Now Yingchang only practiced martial arts every day. Wait, wait for time, wait for the dead!

Time flies by, day by day, and a month later, the time comes to October [-]th in the third year of Shengqin.

This month, the officials sent by Empress Dowager Min to negotiate with the Jin Empire have not yet returned, and the two counties have not yet been formally ceded. Chang Jing stood in front of them with a solemn expression.

After a month of training, these children have learned some moves, and there are a few good seedlings among them, but Du Changjing's training plan for dead soldiers has just begun...

"A team of ten people, you form a team by yourself, and then choose a room to enter!" Du Changjing shouted with a stern face after clasping his hands.

After the words fell, many children scratched their foreheads in doubt, but the children still followed Du Changjing's words, because Du Changjing had always taught them that a dead man only needs to obey orders, and cannot doubt or resist.

These children have been training together for a month, and they all have feelings for their partners and friends. Many children find the nine people they have the best relationship with and enter a room together. Although the yard is not big, there are also ten rooms. After the children entered the room, Du Changjing locked each room.

After the lock was locked, ten real daggers were thrown into each room. The children in the room were very confused and didn't know what the instructor was going to do.

"Listen well, the coach only wants the strongest person, out of ten of you, only one can survive, so you have to pick up the dagger and kill the other nine, otherwise, you will starve to death in the room Go!" Du Changjing shouted in a cold tone.

"what?"

"Why is that, no, I don't!"

"Woo~ I want to go out, I want to go out!"

After the voice fell, there were bursts of noise and crying from the ten rooms, and some children desperately slammed on the door, but Du Changjing was well prepared, no matter how hard they tossed, they couldn't leave the room.

Outside the room, Du Changjing's eyes were reddish, he raised his head to the sky, not letting his tears fall, the human heart is made of flesh, he has been with these children for a month, and he also has feelings, and he can't bear it, but this is what the dead must do. Go through the process!
