After dressing as a villain, I am addicted to farming

The scholar's surname was Wang, and his family was originally poor. To them, two taels of silver might be the savings left over from a year's hard work. In addition, he was naturally stubborn, so he went directly to the county government office to inquire.

In the end, not only did he not find out why, but he was also imprisoned by the county magistrate on the grounds of public disturbance.

If he was an ordinary sour scholar, this matter would have been suppressed, but this scholar surnamed Wang has a serious reputation for raising people, not to mention other things, even there are many classmates who are also raising people.

After these students learned about the matter, they used their contacts to spread the matter, and in the end, the matter was spread widely.

Someone even stopped Liu Xiong's carriage in Fenghe County, and finally brought the matter to him.

But I didn't expect that this was just the beginning. He reported the matter to Jiang Zhengyuan, and he sent spies to investigate the matter. After the investigation, many people and things were involved. The two felt that the matter was too big. He hurried into the palace.

"Ai Qing, do you have a detailed record?"

It hasn't been a day or two since the Zhufeng Dynasty was corrupt, even a county magistrate can be so rampant, one can imagine how much the court officials behind the scenes have been corrupt.

So Qu Zhong didn't show any anger, but just stretched out his hands to the two of them. He believed that Jiang Zhengyuan's temperament must have made full preparations, so he came to report this matter.

Sure enough, Jiang Zhengyuan took a step forward and bent down to hand over a thick roster. After Laifu took it, he took a step back and waited quietly.

For a moment, only the sound of Qu Zhong flipping through the booklets was left in the study, Liu Xiong lowered his head, his eyes just stared blankly at the floor tiles in front of him, hating himself for not being strict in order, that's why he stayed behind. Endless troubles.

The pamphlet recorded the specific amount of silver allocated by the household department and the cotton-padded clothes and food distributed, and also recorded in detail the whereabouts of these things.

The Ministry of Household Affairs allocated a total of 10 taels of silver, 2 sets of cotton-padded clothes, and [-] shi of brown rice and coarse grains. According to secret visits and statistics, none of the things that actually reached the hands of ordinary people survived. The [-]-plus sets of cotton-padded clothes even The shadows are gone.

The snow disaster involved four counties, a total of 57 counties, but only two counties actually managed to distribute all the disaster relief money from the imperial court.

These shocking numbers made Qu Zhong's brows twitch. Zhu Fengchao's death was more serious than he thought...

Closing the booklet, Qu Zhong stuck his chin with his right hand, and lightly tapped the dragon table with his left hand, not speaking in a hurry.

"..."

After a long silence, he finally had an idea in his mind, and waved to Jiang Zhengyuan. Qu Zhong raised his eyelids: "Prime Minister Jiang, this year's scientific examination requires you to worry a lot."

"What does the emperor mean?" Jiang Zhengyuan was puzzled.

"The Zhenhui will issue a decree that this year, all farm students who are well-known in the scientific examination list will be rewarded with five taels of silver, and their family will be exempted from taxes for five years, and next year's new rice seeds will also be given priority. kind."

In the Zhufeng Dynasty of Nuo Da, Qu Zhong didn't believe that he couldn't find hundreds of talents who were qualified to be county magistrates. Since these aristocratic families colluded, he would look for it from ordinary people, and he would look for it blatantly.

"The minister knows what the emperor means, and the minister must handle it well."

"Also, Liu Aiqing, I also have something to do for you."

Liu Xiong was born in a family of military generals. He is reckless and straightforward but has a wide network of contacts. He is most suitable to inquire about the news of Fenghe County. Qu Zhong now wants to grasp these official families and the various family relationships behind them, so that he can break down one by one. , Let these people spit out everything they eat.

This is all thanks to his far-sighted father, who not only left all the military and political power in his hands to him, but also left behind a few loyal ministers who were truly devoted to him.

The two received Qu Zhong's oral order, and only looked at each other suspiciously until they left the study door, as if they didn't know the emperor inside.

Although this trip did not solve the corruption problem in the memorial, Jiang Zhengyuan knew that Qu Zhong planned to fix the fundamental problems in the court.

"Elder Jiang, look at the emperor..."

"Our Zhufeng Dynasty... the sky is about to change."

Patting the ashes on his cuffs, Jiang Zhengyuan patted Liu Xiong's shoulder with a smile: "We just need to follow the emperor's steps closely, and don't do other small moves, otherwise..."

The words were not finished, but the meaning of the words made Liu Xiong shudder, and he couldn't help but nodded solemnly: "With the existence of the Phoenix, who in the Feng Dynasty would dare to question the emperor."

"That's right! The thousand-year-old patron saint of Zhufeng has appeared, our Zhufeng Dynasty..." Jiang Zhengyuan nodded and shook his head complicatedly.

"Let's just finish what the emperor told us and it will be..."

The changes they have experienced towards Qu Zhong over the past six months can be attributed to the guidance of the heavens. Qu Zhong in the study had already tore off a small dark green plaque from his neck and handed it to Laifu.

"Laifu, let's take a trip to the cold palace."

This sign was left to him by his father before his death. This organization is not controlled by any department of the imperial court. There is only one master of them. The dark green sign is a token.

The original owner has always regarded these hidden guards as superfluous after he ascended the throne. Not only has he not summoned them for two years, but he has even forgotten the recognition ceremony left by the former emperor, so that these hidden guards are like air. The life in the cold palace has never appeared.

and so……

Qu Zhong had never seen what these guards immersed in the dark night looked like, but considering the appearance in the TV series, he felt that they must be some men in black clothes and masked faces.

It wasn't until Laifu's terrified voice sounded outside the hall that he felt that he must have rolled over this time.

Didn't you say it was a dark guard?These troops wearing black armor and standing all over the front garden... turned out to be hidden guards.

"The Yinqian hidden guard came to recognize the master."

A strong man who was at least 1.9 meters tall took a step forward, and plunged the gun held in his right hand into the mud with a bang, while holding a helmet of invisible material in his left hand, he looked at Qu Zhong with burning eyes.

Qu Zhong: "..."

While he was still in a daze, these people suddenly knelt down together, and after shouting long live three times, they all raised their heads and looked at Qu Zhong with the same eyes.

this pressure...

"Everyone, I still don't know what to call you."

Qu Zhong raised his hand and looked at the strong man first. He could tell that this man was the leader of the group.

"My humble minister, Jiang Yun, is the No. 30 fifth commander of the Silver Spear Dark Guard."

"Okay, then Jiang Yun will talk to Zhen Yu's study in detail, and the others will go back and wait for orders."

Being watched by so many people, Qu Zhong felt a little uncomfortable, so he simply chose Jiang Yun to enter the study, intending to ask what this magical organization does.

After some understanding, he finally realized that the Silver Spear Secret Guards should belong to the Inspectorate, but they were separated out by the late emperor when he was in power, to protect the emperor and do some private affairs.

They were selected by the Inspectorate through the army layer by layer. No wonder they could feel a sense of chill just standing like this.

Speaking of this, Jiang Yun puffed up his chest and continued to report proudly: "I have never neglected to train the hidden guards, even if they are pulled out now, they can still fight."

What kind of hidden guard is this? It's more like a personal bodyguard. Just like this, people can recognize it wherever they stand...

The first emperor's taste is really unique!

"Just in time, it will be the spring hunting of the Three Kingdoms in a few days, and you will follow me for a while."

"The minister leads the decree, and when the time comes, we will let the other two countries see how powerful our Zhufeng Kingdom is."

"Then Aiqing, go and practice the secret guards well, and I will change places for you."

Originally, I wanted the hidden guards to investigate the situation in the counties and cities. Now it seems that these hidden guards are not suitable at all, and we have to find another candidate.

Since they can't do secret things, Qu Zhong intends to let them show up and become a team of personal bodyguards who are frightening. It just so happens that Kai Kaiguo will have a good look at Zhu Fengchao's strength at the Spring Hunting Party next month.

After sending Jiang Yun away, Qu Zhong stretched out his hand to invite Laifu, and asked about the number of eunuchs and maids in the palace.

Today, Laifu was ordered around by Qu Zhong. He had just run to the harem, and before he could catch his breath, he went to the Supervisor of Rites non-stop, took back the register and handed it up.

I don't know if I didn't see it, but I was shocked when I saw it. There are tens of thousands of eunuchs and maids in the entire palace. Just like that, they are still sending newcomers to the palace every year.

As soon as the original owner came to the throne as the empress, he wanted to expand the harem to add a lot of maids and eunuchs. In addition, the empress was also an arrogant and extravagant person. There were nearly 500 eunuchs and eunuchs in the empress's Qianning Palace alone.

With this coming and going, the number of palace people in the palace has reached an astonishing number

"Blessing." Qu Zhong sighed.

"Your Majesty, the old slave is here."

"Next, I'm going to tell you something very important to do, you must keep your eyes open."

For Qu Zhong, the gossip in the market is also a good opportunity to spy on the people's sentiments. In addition to the news of various powerful families, he now needs a group of unremarkable people to inquire about, and these court ladies and eunuchs are just the good seedlings he needs.

Not only are they very good at reading people's faces, but they are also people who are used to doing things, and they will not easily show their feet.

Lai Fu, who was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Qu Zhong, left with a dignified expression, and before leaving, he swore that he would finish the matter well.

"call……"

As soon as the person left, Qu Zhong stretched his waist, stood up and yawned fiercely. This emperor is really not a human being. He has to deal with so many things every day, and he can't even rest his mind for a moment.

It's better to walk the dog and pet the cat...

Thinking of this, he finally thought of Hanako who was still in the dormitory. Before he left this morning, he was still asleep. I don't know if he woke up now.

Taking advantage of the dinner time with the children, Qu Zhong simply went back to the bedroom to see the situation.

Hanako, whose whole body was covered by silver light, was still sleeping, the red mark on her forehead was flickering, and Sancai kept jumping beside her.

"What are you jumping on? Is there something wrong with Hanako?"

Sancai waved the tender shoots at the top, and immediately jumped onto Qu Zhong's shoulder and shouted loudly: "Huazi is about to be bone-hardened, send it into the space quickly."

Tempered bones...

Although he didn't know what it meant, Qu Zhong quickly put the flower into the space, picked two more fruits from the tree according to Sancai's instructions, opened its mouth and threw it in.

"With the immortal power of these two fruits, Huazi can successfully temper her bones."

The leaf with a little fluff rubbed against Qu Zhong's cheek, Sancai jumped down, and the phantom flashed into his body.

Qu Zhong saw that countless dense branches protruding from its branches tightly wrapped Huazi's body into a ball, so he stopped shaking and explained to him the meaning of bone tempering.
