Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1205

Yudu, with the expansion of residential areas, the population of this city will increase, and the economy will become more and more prosperous.

As the capital of the Minghou Mansion political group.

This city is endowed with a special meaning. In Yizhou, it belongs to the foot of the emperor. Whether it is a wealthy family or a merchant, as long as they are capable, they all want to buy land and house in this place.

And the aristocratic families in Yizhou have successively put their main houses in Yudu City. After all, if there is any trouble, they can know it as soon as possible instead of knowing it later.

The wealthy Yizhou family used to be the number one Jia family, but the Jia family was almost uprooted by Liu Yan, and the Huang family and the Zhao family took advantage of the trend and became the leaders of the Yizhou family.

In recent years, Huang Quan and Zhao Wei, the heads of the two families, have kept a low profile.

Huang Quan was dispatched to Guanghan, and stayed there for so many years, while Zhao Wei was under the pressure of Beiwutang, and he had no military power, let alone much power.

But recently, it suddenly rose up, and the center that was transferred back at once, was in charge of the government affairs hall after the restructuring, and can be regarded as one of the core ministers of the government affairs hall.

But this didn't reassure them, on the contrary it made them look worried.

The two who hadn't seen each other for many years finally couldn't bear to see each other today.

In order to avoid suspicion, they didn't hold a banquet at their home. Instead, they were more public and met directly at Jinxiulou, a relatively well-known restaurant in Yudu.

On the one hand, they don't want to make Mu Jing suspicious, on the other hand, they have come to the point where they are today, and they also know more or less about the Jingwu Division under the Minghou Mansion. This is a dark department that penetrates every corner, and they will definitely not be able to hide their meeting. Instead of letting them take advantage of it, treat it as a meeting between colleagues in an upright manner.

The full moon hung in the sky, and the silvery white moonlight slanted down like a waterfall, shining on this prosperous city.

Chongqing has a curfew.

But the curfew is not long, and the curfew will be entered after midnight, and the curfew is usually about two hours.

Two or three hours before Zishi was the busiest night market life in Yudu. Over the years, it gradually developed and became a unique feature of Yudu.

Of course, for the life of the night market during these few hours, the Six Doors of Yudu invested a lot. After all, the so-called curfew is to maintain the safety and order at night. If the safety and order cannot be guaranteed, the night market will not open.

Jinxiu Building is located on Nanyu Street. This street is a concrete avenue established earlier in Chongqing. It is also one of the busiest places for night market life. In addition to the houses on both sides, there are also many hawkers.

There was an endless stream of yelling.

However, Jinxiulou has become the leading wine shop in Yudu in just a few years, and it has its own advantages. It has a strong scholarly style, so it is a gathering place for many officials when they rest and take a bath.

In addition, people with good hands and eyes know more or less that the shopkeeper of Jinxiu Building comes from Jingping Company. Jingping Company was Jingping Company back then. It is a member of the Mu clan, that is to say, this firm is backed by the current Minghou.

So here, I feel more or less at ease, and on the other hand, I trust Minghou, thinking that they have nothing that they cannot hide from Minghou.

This is also one of the reasons why Huang Quan and Zhao Wei finally chose to meet in Jinxiu Tower. They both know Mujing's methods too well. Instead of keeping everything in the dark, it is better to put it on the bright side. Inside, he will not do anything casually.

"How many years have you seen?"

In the elegant box, after drinking for three rounds, Huang Quan smiled slightly and looked at Hua Zhaowei with some vicissitudes of life.

"It's been a few years!"

Zhao Wei said softly: "When Marquis Ming moved into Yizhou, we were between opposition and support. Although the final choice was unsatisfactory, it did not cause us more losses. It was considered to have saved the family. In order to avoid suspicion, you I don't even have a single letter, I thought this relationship should be broken, but when will the situation be beyond my control!"

"It's a blessing, not a curse. A disaster can't be avoided after all!" Huang Quan said calmly, "It's a bit risky for us to meet this time!"

"Indeed, but we must meet!"

Zhao Wei said: "The Marquis Ming is going to host a banquet for us. I have thought about it. Although it is not a Hongmen banquet, it may not be a good one. You should also know the first-hand news about the Jingzhou affairs. Now it is considered stable. So is it the next step?" We have arrived in Yizhou. There are dozens of subordinates in Yizhou's aristocratic family, but our two families are the first to bear the brunt. After all, we need to reach a consensus on whether to advance or retreat. If we have different intentions between you and me, I am afraid there will be no chance! "

"Except for us, many people have risen among the gentry over the years, and they can be regarded as holding important positions in the Minghou Mansion!" Huang Quan said, "What do you think of Zhang Song?"

"The two brothers of the Zhang family sang a big show, but Zhang Song was saved!" Zhao Wei said: "It is reasonable to say that the Marquis of Ming would value this person too much, but Marquis of Ming valued him so much. I am afraid it is not the Zhang family of Guanghan who is behind him. , more because of how powerful he is!"

"Just be afraid, he won't be on our side!"

Huang Quan said in a low voice.

"The Marquis Ming's heart for reform is irreversible!" Zhao Wei said: "We are like a mantis arm, it may not work, and in the end we may hit ourselves, and even the family that has inherited poetry and books for hundreds of years will be destroyed once. This lord is not necessarily a soft-hearted person. He has been fighting outside these years, but his reputation remains the same. We all know how many companies Jing Wusi has secretly copied. "

"I never thought of stopping it, and I wouldn't be so presumptuous. I'm going to fight against someone, not against Minghou. In Yizhou today, I can't think of another person who can fight against Minghou. As for outsiders, even We are willing to attract other princes to Yizhou, whoever dares to come, Minghou is in full swing, and now he is a young and middle-aged man, his momentum is fierce, like a dragon or a tiger, whoever stops him will die!"

Huang Quan smiled wryly: "But no matter what, we have to make some efforts, at least on this basis, to save a little vitality for our family!"

If it was a few years ago, he would have chosen to compete with the Minghou Mansion.

After all, the aristocratic family controlled the gentry, and [-] to [-]% of the scholars in Yizhou were controlled by the gentry. If the Minghou Mansion wanted to govern the region, it needed the support of the tribe.

But now, he really dare not.

Over the years, he has seen Mujing's ruthlessness. The most important thing is that Mujing supports education and created a new era of education. Now at least every county has a government-run school.

What does this mean?
The representative is the scholars in Yizhou, and more than half of them have been taken away by the Minghou Mansion. Compared with the gentry, there are more ordinary scholars. The gentry can produce talents, and ordinary scholars can have the opportunity to produce more talents.

The Minghou Mansion has enough officials to support it to operate, plus a powerful army to suppress it, not to mention that they don't have the heart, even if they have the heart, they may not be able to stir up too much wind and rain, and they may even be ruthlessly suppressed.

"Reform and system reform, we all support it!" Zhao Wei understood Huang Quan's thoughts, and he also agreed with Huang Quan's judgment, so he proposed a simple: "However, we need to delay things such as land measurement and population differences. , it is best to rationalize these land and population before the reform of the law!"

"Disaster!"

"That must be done!"

"It's not that there is no chance, but who will support it may be an opportunity. How about you and me asking for a job?" Huang Quan said in a low voice.

"Please?"

Zhao Wei narrowed his eyes: "That's a good idea!"

Others do, also do.

Do it yourself, maybe there is still room for operation, so as not to be taken over by one pot, and even the vitality of the family will be consumed in the end, how much can be saved, how much can be saved.

As for stopping them, they really don't have the guts anymore, and they don't dare to take the risk. After all, it's hard to achieve this position. As long as they still control the power, at least they have a chance, but once they are taken down because of this matter, then They really are completely screwed.

Don't doubt whether Mu Jing has the courage, he definitely has it. Today's Minghou Mansion is no longer the government office that just entered Yizhou, lacked talents, and struggled to move forward.

"Well, don't move, I'll give it a try!" Huang Quan said, "Hu Changshi is easy to talk to, and he doesn't want Yizhou to be chaotic, and he won't force us all to nowhere. If Zhaoming Pavilion objects, If you stand up again, there is still room!"

"Row!"

The Patriarchs of the two aristocratic families have initially agreed on a strategy to deal with it, but whether the trend of the situation will be as they thought is unknown.

..............................

the next day.

Mujing got up late, and he was angry for several days. After all, he couldn't escape the beauty tricks. He was very obedient to all the beauty tricks. He was still tempted to sleep with him. He really couldn't resist, but it didn't mean he would This calmed down, last night he used his actions to tell the two daughters-in-law what is the shepherd's family law.

Of course, in this world there are only exhausted cows and no plowed fields, and he is the one who suffers in the end.

It wasn't until noon that I got up from the bed with two tired long legs. After washing and scrubbing, I wolfed down some food and went to work.

I've been busy with work recently.

It's a time to replace the old with the new, and people's hearts are already a little impetuous. If he, the lord, disappears for two days, it will cause restlessness in the entire operating system.

Therefore, as the lord, he really couldn't hide. He had to sit in the Zhaoming Pavilion every day and deal with the memorials submitted from all over the place. As long as he didn't go for a day, they would pile up like a mountain.

"Lord!"

Just as Mu Jing sat down, a pair of resentful eyes were already fixed on him.

"When did you come?" Mu Jing asked in surprise.

"I came early in the morning!"

Tan Zong replied quietly: "I have been waiting for the Lord all morning!"

"Cough cough!"

Mujing coughed appropriately to cover up his embarrassment, then opened a smiling face and asked, "There are a lot of things going on recently, Zong, you have to understand bro!"

In private, the relationship between him and Tan Zong is very close. There are not many young people on Mushroom Mountain back then, and they are all his closest direct descendants of Mujing.

"I've waited all morning. Is it important?" Mu Jing couldn't bear the resentful look in his eyes, and immediately changed the subject.

"My lord, it's actually not a very important matter, but this matter should have been reported to you by Xin Zhao, but Xin Zhao has disappeared recently, and our Zuo Si has also served as a part-time officer, so we must personally report it to you!" Tan Zong Passed a file to Mu Jing: "This is the recent movement of some aristocratic families in Yizhou. The most important thing is that Huang Quan and Zhao Wei met in Jinxiu Tower last night. To avoid suspicion, we did not send anyone to Listening, I don’t know what they said, but at this time, they chose to meet, and it must have something to do with the current law reform!”

"Meet at Jinxiu Building?"

Mu Jing smiled: "Don't worry about it, and get rid of the spies around them, and absolutely don't give them any convenience. At this time, it's better to be quiet than to move. I have to wait for them to make a move!"

"Don't keep their news in your hands. I'm afraid something will happen. If a dog gets anxious, he will jump over the wall. They may be sure. With their power in Yizhou, they may still hurt us!"

Tan Zong frowned.

"Because of this, they can't let them feel that we don't trust them!" Mu Jing would always be more patient with Tan Zong. If it were someone else, he wouldn't analyze it: "This matter is no longer a scene. Wu Si can get mixed up, this needs to be solved by fair and honest means, the existence of Jing Wu Si is more or less a black area, not likable, and will be used as a handle by others, so you will act internally and externally in the future, You all need to be cautious, the more disciplined you are, the more disciplined you should be, you are catching others, if you are caught by someone else's design, then I may not be able to keep Jing Wusi's establishment!"

The reason why the commoner emperor in the legend, who had been strong all his life, couldn't keep the Jinyiwei establishment in his later years was because of public anger.

Once public anger is committed, no one can keep it.

Even Mujing, the head of the family.

Therefore, the more officials and departments like Jing Wusi act, the more cautious they must be. Do things within the rules, and not reveal Z's whereabouts outside the rules. This is basic common sense.

"Understood!"

Some cold sweat appeared on Tan Zong's forehead, and he was still a little swollen.

"You are not as good as Xin Zhao in this aspect. I will transfer Xin Zhao back as soon as possible. Zuo Si will still be out to the outside world in the future. You have done a lot of things over the years, and now is the time to expand this network!"

Mu Jing said: "Minghou's mansion has come to this day, there is no way out, the world is determined to win, and you know the importance of news, we were able to take down Jingzhou easily because we have gained a lot in espionage. Advantages, whether it is blocking the news in the north, or taking down the Jingzhou news network in advance, are the key factors. In the future, Jingwu Division will shoulder greater responsibilities. I hope that you can develop better."

"promise!"

Tan Zong nodded, although Jing Wusi didn't have much credit these years, but Mu Jing knew how many things Tan Zong did behind the scenes. Today's five princes in the world, except for Yizhou, he buried them outside. How many shadows have been laid, once it moves, it will definitely be earth-shattering.

........................

In the evening, Minghou Mansion, front yard, main hall.

A party is going on.

These years, Minghou kept a low profile and was away in battle. Minghou's mansion did not act too ostentatiously, and there were very few banquets. Now it is rare to hold a banquet, which is definitely the most concerned thing in Yudu.
