Monument Yangmen

Chapter 890
"How much can it change?"

As a large agricultural country, Yan State must be cautious about any issues related to agriculture, so when Yang Qi talked about the shocking changes, Xiang Minzhong asked subconsciously.

Yang Qi asked Chen Lin to bring a sweet potato, put it in front of Xiang Minzhong, and said: "This is called sweet potato, and it is a very drought-tolerant crop. It can be cultivated in sandy land or wasteland full of gravel. , yields a thousand catties per mu."

Xiang Minzhong's eyes widened, and he shook his head again and again, "This is impossible!"

This was his first reaction.

It is unheard of in Xiang Minzhong to produce a thousand catties per mu.

Yang Qi had no way to confirm this to Xiang Minzhong for a moment. He pondered for a moment and said, "I remember that there are many watermelons planted in Huangzhuang outside the city. This thing can be the same as watermelon. When the watermelon is cut After Tengman, it is time for this thing to mature.

I will tell you the method of raising seedlings later, and when you go back, you will lead people to quickly cultivate them and plant them as soon as possible.

When the autumn comes, you will understand whether what I said is true or not.

As for the other seeds, I only know half of them.I will give you the corresponding cultivation method, you just follow it.

I don't know most of the remaining seeds, but it's better because there are a lot of them, and I have enough time to experiment.

The officials proficient in grass and trees who followed Huang Gu and others to sea have returned to the country, and I will send them under your command.

They will guide you in planting.

Remember, protect the two of them.

The people of my Dayan, whether they will be hungry again from now on, hope depends on the two of them. "

Xiang Minzhong hesitated for a moment, but still nodded respectfully, "I understand..."

Yang Qi said in a deep voice: "Do it quickly, don't delay for a moment. The assessment of the officials of the Yan Kingdom has reached the final juncture, and the rest are high-ranking officials who have a deep relationship with Confucianism.

It's time for me to have a showdown with Confucianism.

So I remind you, don't get involved. "

Xiang Min was startled, and said in a low voice, "I obey the order."

After Xiang Minzhong left, Yang Qi asked Chen Lin to take samples from the seeds sent by Huang Gu and send them to the palace.

Based on the information of the few grass seeds in his memory, he compiled a book on seedling cultivation.

Yang Qi spent a month trying to search his own memory and finished writing this book.

Then someone handed it over to Xiang Minzhong.

Solved the problem of seeds.

Yang Qi finally had time, let go of his hands and feet, and attacked Confucianism.

The first target he chose to attack was Chen Jingzhi, who was currently the closest to Confucianism and had the highest position in the court.

on a sunny morning.

Peng Pai led the people from the Supervision Department, rushed into the Chen Mansion, and captured everyone in the Chen Mansion with lightning speed.

For an instant.

Yanjing City became boiling.

The civil servants with a keen sense of smell felt that Yang Qi was going to attack them.

Ever since, they ran in series one after another.

However, Yang Qi, who had forbeared to arrange for five years, had already placed his own people at the most critical point among them.

When these civil officials reacted, they found that their allies had become a mess.

Like mice whose tails were set on fire, they fled around frantically, and everyone was in danger.

Yang Qi saw the right moment, and struck again and again.

He arrested more than a dozen civil servants in one breath.

Just when the civil servants were desperate, Kong Lianjie reappeared in everyone's sight.

The civil servants rushed to Kong Lianjie as if they saw a savior.

Inside the most expensive Changle Square in Yanjing City.

Dozens of civil officials received Kong Lianjie with a banquet of the highest standard.

After five years.

When Kong Lianjie appeared in front of people again, he no longer had the arrogance of the past, but instead had a gloomy expression on his face.

For five years, Kong Lianjie traveled all over the country of Yan for Confucianism, begging all the officials in Yanjing who were close to Confucianism.

It's a pity that everyone was busy going to sea to make money, and each of them found excuses to perfunctory him.

After experiencing blows again and again, Kong Lianjie began to know himself slowly, and slowly saw the true colors of these civil servants.

The words they say about dying for Confucianism are all bullshit.

This is a group of sluts who have milk and are mothers.

So meeting again, Kong Lianjie didn't give anyone a good face.

The former Langzhong Guo and the current servant of the Ministry of Rites, Guo Shilang, after seeing Kong Lianjie, looked forward eagerly, and said with a smile: "Brother Kong, after many years, Brother Kong still looks the same."

Kong Lianjie looked Guo Shilang up and down, waved his hands, and said in a neutral manner: "After a few years, Guo Shilang has grown richer. Have you not been less wealthy these years?"

Kong Lianjie glanced around the overfed civil servants, and said with a slap in the face: "You have spent a lot of time, and Kong can hardly recognize you.

Kong looked at everyone and they must have had a good time these years.

But Kong was miserable. The property of the Kong family was cut down again and again by His Majesty. Now the whole family of thousands of people can only live on more than 1000 acres of fertile land. "

While speaking, Kong Lianjie pulled up the clothes on his body, let the civil servants see clearly, and said: "Only Kong's clothes, I borrowed them from the rich households in the county before leaving the house."

Descendants of saints, borrow clothes to wear?

The civil servants couldn't believe it.

Even though Yang Qi cut down the property of the Kong family again and again, the accumulated wealth of the Kong family is still rich enough for Kong Lianjie to live comfortably for the rest of his life.

Clever civil servants, from Kong Lianjie's words, heard his subtext.

Immediately, Guo Shilang gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Brother Kong, please take a seat first, and Guo will definitely present you with a great gift later."

Kong Lianjie raised his eyebrows and curled his lips, "Then sit down..."

After speaking, without waiting for other people to invite him, he strode unceremoniously into the largest wing room in Changle Square.

When he was about to enter the door, he subconsciously turned his head away and glanced at Rumeng who was squatting at the counter by the door.

If you dreamed of this, you were slightly taken aback.

She frowned, not understanding why Jet Lianjie looked at her.

After Kong Lianjie strode into the wing, he sat in the first seat naturally.

Guo Shilang and others followed closely behind and took their seats respectively.

After sitting down.

Kong Lianjie took a short sip of the wine glass in front of him, and tapped his lips, "Tell me, why are you so motivating to find Kong?"

Guo Shilang said with a smile on his face: "Brother Kong, do you still remember the incident you mentioned when you visited me?"

Kong Lianjie was stunned for a moment, and said with a blunt smile: "You also said that it happened back then. It's been five years, and I still remember it."

Guo Shilang was embarrassed when he heard this.

He knew very well that Kong Lianjie still remembered what happened back then, otherwise he wouldn't have just opened his mouth to say five years.

Obviously, Kong Lianjie had resentment towards Guo Shilang's evasion back then.

Guo Shilang hesitated for a moment, then nodded veiledly to the others.

They took out deposit checks from Yan Guo Qian Bank one after another from their cuffs, gathered in front of Guo Shilang, and Guo Shilang pushed them in front of Kong Lianjie.

Kong Lianjie moved his eyes down, glanced at the huge [-] yuan word on the deposit ticket, and after it was one inch high, his expression softened a bit.

After seeing the faces of these civil servants clearly, Kong Lianjie didn't bother to pretend to be noble in front of them. Without saying a word, he reached out to pick up the deposit ticket on the table, and stuffed it into his arms politely.

Then, he glanced at Guo Shilang and said with a smile, "Brother Guo, after you reminded me, Kong remembered what happened five years ago."

Kong Lianjie looked around, and said with a half-smile: "Back then, Kong tried his best to invite you to stand for Confucianism. You pushed back several times at that time, and Kong was disgraced and fled Yanjing City in despair."

Guo Shilang smiled awkwardly: "Brother Kong is serious, I'll wait for that time... I have something important to do..."

Kong Lianjie didn't wait for Guo Shilang to finish his sentence, and ruthlessly exposed it, saying: "What else is there to do, you were all busy making money at that time, right?"

"Cough cough cough..."

Guo Shilang coughed to hide his embarrassment.

Kong Lianjie said mercilessly: "Back then, you abandoned righteousness for a little money. Now, you only think of me when you are cornered by His Majesty. Now that the situation is critical, even if Kong Mou comes forward, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resolve this matter easily.

Kong Mou doesn't play tricks with you anymore.

His Majesty is now planning to eradicate the influence of Confucianism on the world in one fell swoop, and the situation is critical.

As a descendant of the saint, at this time of crisis, it is the responsibility to maintain the reputation of the saint.

Kong Mou came to Beijing this time to rescue Confucianism from His Majesty.

You can be regarded as one of the few disciples in the court who are still close to Confucianism.

It is what Kong should do to help you get through this difficult time.

It's just that you have borrowed Kong's strength, and when things are done, don't forget Kong's contribution. "

Guo Shilang heard the words and hurriedly said: "After the matter is completed, I will definitely thank you very much."

"exactly……"

The other civil servants followed suit.

Kong Lianjie nodded slowly, and said: "Everyone has been busy making money these years, and Kong has not been idle. In the past five years, His Majesty has borrowed the hands of Kou Zhun, Su Yijian and others to secretly eliminate a large number of officials who are close to Confucianism.

Even you were promoted and demoted secretly, and put in some idle positions.

Today, in the whole country of Yan, it can be said that [-]% of the officials have become His Majesty's people.

I am afraid it will be very difficult for us to persecute His Majesty with great force like before.

Because we have missed the best time.

Therefore, if we want to win a game back from His Majesty, we must find another shortcut. "

Guo Shilang's eyes widened in astonishment, his face was ashen, "Your Majesty has managed to do this, how can we make a comeback?"

Kong Lianjie glanced at him contemptuously, "Look at how promising you are, you're here and there, and you're scared before you reach the point where you're going to die."

Guo Shilang said tremblingly: "Now in Yan Kingdom, [-]% of the officials have turned their hearts to His Majesty and betrayed Confucianism, and the remaining [-]% of officials have no real power at all. How can they wrestle with His Majesty?

Another shortcut?

Under the general trend, how to find another shortcut? "

Obviously, after hearing that Yang Qi had completed the layout, Guo Shilang had already planned to give up resistance.

Seeing this, Kong Lianjie frowned and snorted coldly: "You idiot, if you give up now, you will die. You people, these years, have made a lot of money, let alone black money.

If His Majesty really catches you, one of you counts as one, don't even think about escaping from His Majesty alive. "

"Then what should we do..."

"The only solution now is to take advantage of the situation!"

When the civil servants heard this, they all looked at Kong Lianjie.

Guo Shilang asked even more hopefully: "How to take advantage of the situation, and who to take advantage of?"

Kong Lianjie narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "Do you all know that Shen Lun is His Majesty's benefactor?"

Guo Shilang was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly: "Mr. Shen once taught the young Majesty. This is well known in the country of Yan. Could it be that Brother Kong intends to borrow from Mr. Shen?"

Guo Shilang paused, frowned, and said hesitantly: "But as far as I know, the teacher-student relationship between Duke Shen and His Majesty was exhausted when His Majesty founded the Four Northwest Prefectures.

Taking advantage of Shen Gong's situation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to influence His Majesty. "

Kong Lianjie sneered and said, "What if Shen Lun admonishes him with death?"

Guo Shilang's eyes widened in horror, and he said in a trembling voice: "You want to murder Duke Shen? Although Duke Shen has lost his friendship with His Majesty as a teacher and student, he is His Majesty's benefactor after all, and he has an incense friendship.

If His Majesty knows about this matter, I am afraid that we will be hacked into pieces by His Majesty if we flee to the ends of the earth.

This matter must not be done. "

Kong Lianjie frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Kong also knows what will happen if he murders Shen Lun. I regret my life, and I don't want to die. The reason why I mentioned letting Shen Lun remonstrate with death is because Shen Lun is seriously ill. , not long to live."

Guo Shilang and others were astonished when they heard this.

He pondered for a while.

After they figured out the seriousness of the matter in their hearts.

Guo Shilang gritted his teeth and said: "If Mr. Shen is really dying soon, we can naturally take advantage of Mr. Shen's influence. It's just that Mr. Shen will not leave the mountain for a long time. How can we get Mr. Shen to agree to this matter?"

Kong Lianjie straightened up slowly, and said calmly: "If I, a descendant of a saint, personally bow down in the name of a saint and ask him to save the life of Confucianism, do you think he will refuse?"

Guo Shilang and the others looked stunned.

Shen Lun is a pure Confucian scholar, and he has always been upright. When facing the descendants of the saints, he begged.

He must not remain indifferent.

If Kong Lianjie is really willing to use the name of a saint and ask Shen Lun, Shen Lun will definitely agree.

Even so, Guo Shilang and others still felt that this matter was a bit crazy.

He swallowed subconsciously, and asked Kong Lianjie in a low voice, "Do you really want to do this?"

Kong Lianjie looked at him coldly.

"Do you want to die?"

Guo Shilang shook his head frantically.

After hesitating for two breaths, he raised his head, stared at Kong Lianjie, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Kong will take advantage of Duke Shen, and we will cooperate with you. But we hope that Brother Kong will keep his promise and not murder Duke Shen in order to achieve his goal.

This is my bottom line.

After all, if we lose, at most we will die and search our home, but if we implicate Duke Shen's life, we may be punished by His Majesty's nine clans. "

Kong Lianjie waved his hands disdainfully and said: "You can rest assured on this point, you just need to be ready to benefit Kong Mou. After the matter is completed, Kong Mou will ask you for half of your net worth."

"Sigh~"

All the officials present gasped.

They bowed their heads and struggled for a long time.

In the choice between money and life, they finally chose life.

"Okay! We promise you."
