Chapter 879: Dragon Seed(1/2)

When Brother Zeng heard this, he was stunned.

Recruiting workers... Why didn't I see it when I came along the way?

Did you miss it?

No wonder it is so deserted here.

But... I seemed to be... entrusted by Young Master Yang to do a big thing.

The Young Master of the Yang family is not easy to mess with. He still owes him the rent.

Now it's finally time to slack season...

Suddenly, behind him, cheers erupted: "Thirty coins a day, thirty coins."

Thirty coins a day, this month, wouldn’t it be nine hundred coins, almost one tael of silver?

This is not the capital, but Dingxing County.

In a small county, the vast majority of people are poor, ignorant and have little knowledge.

Even thirty coins are not small.

You can buy two copper plates and eat them for three or five days.

It's winter coming soon, and the wife and the baby don't even have new clothes.

Besides, what is the one-whip method now? It takes money to pay taxes.

"Brother Zeng, Brother Zeng..."

The person behind him was so excited: "Where you go, go where you go... It's too late if you don't leave..."

"But..." Brother Zeng said as soon as he spoke, he stomped his feet: "Go to his mother Yang family, he doesn't care for his mother, so he just thief, go and have a look."

...

Xiao Jing looked at the deserted streets in a daze.

After a long time, I still couldn't come back to my senses.

Finally, after a stick of incense, the small flag official came to the front with fear: "Old ancestor, the county is recruiting workers, and they are listing everywhere, saying that as long as they are young and strong, they will need as much as they want, and give them a meal at noon, thirty dollars a day... The county gates are filled with people..."

“…”

Xiao Jing was silent.

After a long time... he smiled coldly at the county government: "We understand that gentry is the hardest to buy, but the easiest to buy. If you have a full meal, you will be sure that they can't tell the difference between the south and the west. This is a pot of drainage, which is really cruel. Ouyang Zhi... We are convinced, a good apprentice taught by Fang Jifan."

As he said that, he turned around, and a tikki hurriedly put on his cloak. Xiao Jing rolled the cloak and slowly got off the stairs of the restaurant, saying, "Prepare the carriage, we must return to Beijing immediately and remove all the irrelevant people. What should we do here for so many people? There are still such serious things in Beijing waiting to be done."

All the cavalry and the men bowed down one after another.

The little flag official Lin Feng was even more scared and his face turned pale. This time, the information provided was incorrect, and I don’t know what punishment he would be subject to next.

But at this time, Xiao Jing had already gotten on the car and sat on the wide sofa in the car. Here, someone had already made a good set of tea for him. He took a sip of the tea and said, "Hurry up, don't delay it."

……………………

When Emperor Hongzhi saw his grandson, he missed his grandson.

After announced the order, Fang Jifan ordered him to lead Fang Zhengqing to see him.

It's in this Fengtian Palace.

Liu Jian was still worried about Dingxing County, and a quick report came from the factory guard, saying that there might be variables.

Variables...what variables...

Nothing big will happen.

Liu Jian dared not neglect anything, and hurried to see the Jia, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Minister of War Ma Wensheng, Minister of Rites Zhang Sheng, Minister of Rites Wang Aoren, etc.

In fact, although what happened in Dingxing County received limited support from the cabinet, the ministers of each ministries had different opinions.

Fortunately, this is just a county. Even if it is to make trouble, it is just a county. It is not urgent. There will be a wave of opposition. Now more people are just waiting and watching.

Everyone saluted, but saw Emperor Hongzhi holding Zhu Zaimo looking through the memorial.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at it seriously.

The little Zhu Zaimo also looked at it seriously.

Seeing that Liu Jian and others came to meet, Emperor Hongzhi did not let Zhu Zaimo avoid it. He intended that Zhu Zaimo be influenced by it, even if he was just a child, this was not a bad thing.

Liu Jian and others were about to speak, but at this moment, an eunuch said, "Your Majesty, the Commander Fang is here with Fang Zhengqing."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "That child... hasn't seen for a long time, hurry up, let them in."

Fang Zhengqing followed Fang Jifan with a frustration, but as soon as he entered Fengtian Palace, he looked at him curiously and seemed a little scared. But when he saw Zhu Zaimo, he immediately danced with eyebrows and danced with his hands and feet: "Ah, ah..."

He shouted, "Wow... Senior brother, you are here too."

Then he broke free from Fang Jifan's hand and rushed towards the Golden Luan as if crazy.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at his grandson with a smile and hurriedly said, "Slow down, slower."

Fang Jifan was confused.

His own son inherited his innocence.

But being too innocent... obviously not a good thing.

Child... As your father, I really want to beat you.

Zhu Zaimo was extremely happy when he saw Fang Zhengqing.

Fang Zhengqing happily went to the Golden Palace and remembered something, and he was busy saluting Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi took him over and looked up from above and below: "With Fang Jifan, it's like a mold, don't be too polite, come..."

Fang Zhengqing giggled: "Your Majesty, I want to play with my senior brother."

"Go, go." Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Liu Jian and others below.

Fang Zhengqing grabbed Zhu Zaimo's hand.

Zhu Zaimo frowned: "I won't play, I want to read the memorial."

Fang Zhengqing suddenly felt cold and looked depressed.

Fang Jifan's heart became colder and he sank to the bottom of the valley.

Zhu Zaimo patted Fang Zhengqing on the shoulder: "You sit aside, the masters are going to report to the eldest father."

"Oh." Fang Zhengqing stepped aside obediently.

Suddenly, he became happy again and raised his handsome little face: "Can I stand here?"

Fang Jifan: "..."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the two children with a smile on his face. He just thought that the two children were messing around.

However, Liu Jian and others obviously had something to report, and Zhu Zaimo liked to stick to him here, but he couldn't drive him away.

Then he smiled helplessly at Liu Jian and others.

Liu Jian and others understood Your Majesty’s thoughts and deliberately turned a blind eye to this, but said seriously: “Your Majesty, Beizhenfusi, just received a report that something is going to happen in Dingxing County.”

"Oh?" Emperor Hongzhi frowned.

Liu Jian said: "The gentry, juren and scholars from Dingxing County secretly colluded with more than 100 people, and arranged personnel. Early this morning, hundreds, or even thousands of ignorant people seemed to gather in the county government for this matter... The specific inside story is still unknown. If the factory guards had not been paying attention to Dingxing County, they might not have noticed it."

Liu Jian smiled bitterly and said, "It's getting late now. I'm afraid that a few hours ago, Dingxing County will be in chaos. Once it gets messy, it will be impossible to suppress the situation with the number of servants in the county government. Ouyang Shixue is afraid that he can't control the situation."

Zhu Zaimo also stood on the side of Fang Zhengqing. Fang Zhengqing hurriedly grabbed his little hand and laughed at him.

But when Zhu Zaimo heard Liu Jian's words, he was still calm on his face and couldn't help laughing.

Emperor Hongzhi became worried: "These people are so bold!"

Emperor Hongzhi seemed angry.

Liu Jian glanced at Emperor Hongzhi and thought to himself, Your Majesty, when Your Majesty decided to send Ouyang Zhi to Dingxing County, these things were destined to happen.

It's so difficult to restructure.

In the world, what kind of reform can be easily succeeded? This is just Dingxing County... What if it is the whole world? Wouldn't it be a mess?

"Your Majesty." Wang Ao couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty... the old minister has a word."

Wang Ao was the Minister of Personnel and the teacher of Emperor Hongzhi. His position was of great importance.

Wang Ao said: "Your Majesty said they are brave, but... the people are not afraid of death, so why are they afraid of death? The old minister knew the causes and consequences of this matter. After all, it was Ouyang Zhi who went to Dingxing County and suddenly changed the laws of his ancestors, which caused this huge public resentment. The old minister was the Minister of Personnel. Ouyang Zhi's resume was clearly seen and clearly, and he was extremely beautiful. In time, if this boy was tempered, he would be entrusted with important tasks."

"But... Your Majesty sent him to Dingxing County, and... Alas... Now, the people have a deep grudge against him. If a mess occurs, wouldn't it delay this Ouyang Shixue? Once he bears such a huge infamy, his career will end here."

"If the so-called civil unrest has been found in the root of the word "harsh government". The so-called "harsh government is more powerful than tigers. If the people cannot survive, how can they be the opposite? Therefore... the old minister means that when the current situation is still under control, Ouyang Zhi will be recalled immediately. It is absolutely impossible to have any trouble."

Wen Tao, the Minister of Justice, couldn't help but be moved when he heard this, and then said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I also think that this is the most appropriate way!"

Ma Wensheng and Zhang Sheng frowned, fighting with heaven and man in their hearts.

Liu Jianmu had a face and didn't say anything.
To be continued...
