The ancestor of the last days exploded after being reborn!

Chapter 98
Xia Jing squinted at her, "You don't have it, it doesn't mean others don't. Food and money can be obtained easily if I want to."

Aunt Sun calmed down after hearing her bragging.

She pursed her lips and smiled softly: "Hey, listening to what my sister said, if I was a three-year-old child, I would really believe your words. If money in the world can be obtained easily, then there will be no poor people in the world."

Xia Jing smiled contemptuously, "So, don't look at people and things with your eyes, because your eyesight is too short-sighted, and what you see with your short-sightedness is always your own one-acre three-point land. and."

As she said that, she glanced at Li Chengli, and said fortunately: "Fortunately, the third child has been taught in the front yard since he was sensible. If you let him grow up, I don't know what kind of temperament the third child will grow up. If As short-sighted as you, where can I find such a shrewd and capable Haoerlang?"

Aunt Sun was provoked by Xia Jing's contemptuous smile, and she laughed back angrily: "Since my sister is so capable, just now the eldest lady wanted to rent a yard outside, why did you push back and forth, and just help them rent a yard?"

The other party's provocation couldn't irritate Xia Jing at all, she followed her words and nodded, "Renting a yard is just a trivial matter, as long as the eldest husband and wife nod, I will let Hongmei do it right away. The silver is still there."

At this moment, the eldest lady only felt that her face could be boiled. In front of the whole family, she panicked with embarrassment, "Aunt Sun, please stop talking, my husband and I have never thought of taking advantage of my mother and concubine. If we decide to To rent the yard, you have to pay the money yourself. To play the autumn wind with the mother and concubine, if this matter spreads to the people or acquaintances, should my husband and I still be human?"

At this time, the eldest lady is tired of this noisy aunt, she always likes to find trouble for nothing, and will stir up three points for no reason.

As the old saying goes, you're born to be a mess!

Li Chengshang also blushed. If he hadn't taken into account King Qian's face, he would have scolded her. A concubine is a concubine. Apart from entertaining men, she is really useless and not on the stage!

Aunt Sun noticed King Qian's dissatisfied eyes on her, and she said embarrassingly, "The concubine is not all for your own good, you don't appreciate it!"

The eldest lady was really annoyed, "You are so self-righteous, our eldest brother would rather not, if you think it is for others' good, please don't be nice to us, our eldest can't bear it!"

If it weren't for the fact that she had served her father for decades, she really didn't want to spare her tonight!

Having said all this, Aunt Sun snorted coldly, and shrank back in her chair, not daring to say anything more.But she felt that the big house had lost her face, and secretly cursed in her heart that she didn't know what was good or bad!

Xia Jing glanced at Aunt Sun who had died down, and said solemnly: "The whole family escaped from the Gyeonggi area to Lingnan with a lot of hardships, and I don't want to talk about the bitterness of it. Everyone has their own experience. Maybe the experience of the past two months , is more exciting than what you have experienced in the first half of your life.

On the way to escape from famine, my concubine does not have high demands on you, as long as you can survive, everything else is just floating clouds.

Now we have settled down in Lingnan.The rules of the palace should also be established, all the rules refer to the rules in the palace before. "

Sitting on the side, the concubines of each house looked at Xia Jing, suddenly having a bad premonition in their hearts.

Sure enough, Xia Jing continued: "Today is a reunion banquet for the rest of our lives after the catastrophe and our new life. There are exceptions for everything. But this kind of exception does not happen every time. New Year's reunion, concubines are not allowed to participate!"

Since you are given the opportunity to be a man, if you don't cherish it, then stay in the backyard and be a canary in a man's cage.

After hearing this, the concubines in each house in the palace felt complicated and incomprehensible, with mixed feelings, they all stared at Aunt Sun, and it was impossible not to blame her in their hearts.

At the same time, I feel sad for my own situation!

Although Xia Jing didn't want to look at the concubine's room, she was born in this era, and the era created this product.

If the matriarch is too easy-going and does not let the rules restrain them, it will fuel their ambitions.

Once the ambition is inflated, it is like a wild horse running wild, completely out of control, and will definitely hurt others and oneself.

Xia Jing remembers seeing a poem in a book that fully explained that human greed is endless.

Running around all day is just for hunger, and I just think about clothes when I am full.

I have enough food and clothing, and I am thinking of Jiao'e's beautiful wife.

Marry a beautiful wife and give birth to children, and hate no land and no foundation.

The fertile land is so vast, but I don't think there are too many horses to ride when I go out.

The mules and horses were detained at the head of the trough, for fear of being bullied without an official position.

The county magistrate of Qipin is still too young, and wants to hang purple clothes in the middle of the court.

Yipin is the prime minister of the court, and he still wants to seize the emperor's foundation.

I am content to be the emperor, but I want to live forever.

Once you get the elixir, you can argue with God.

Insufficient insufficiency is not enough, what is life like?
If the hearts of the world are to be satisfied, unless Nanke Yimengxi.

This poem ridicules the inadequacy of the world's hearts, speaks clearly about human nature, and at the same time warns the world.

Of course, everyone in the world has greed, and Xia Jing is no exception, but you must be able to control greed, and don't let greed control you.

Once everything in the world is out of control, it is not far from destruction.

"Everyone is tired, go to bed early tonight, get a good night's sleep, and recharge your spirits. There are still a lot of things waiting for everyone to deal with tomorrow."

Xia Jing originally wanted to discuss the next arrangement, but Aunt Sun reminded her that many things are not suitable for too many people to know.

"Then let's all go away." King Qian glanced at Xia Jing, and waved his hands embarrassingly for everyone to go back.

Xia Jing returned to the small courtyard, and after washing, she lay on the bed and didn't want to move.

I have been on the road for more than a month, and I don't feel very tired when I am on the road, but when I arrive at the destination, I feel so tired that I don't want to move anymore.

Hongmei tucked up the gauze curtain for her, leaving only a weak night light behind and left the room.

The other few rooms are not so quiet. There are many disadvantages of too many people and few rooms. Everyone has to queue up to wash up before going to bed at night.

After finally washing up, I had to take turns to come to the mouth before going to bed.

Feeling relaxed, do you think you can have a good night's sleep?
How can it be!

The weather is sweltering, and there are many people in the room. When there are more people, the temperature is higher and the air is cloudy.

A good sleeping posture is fine, but a bad sleeping posture is either grinding your teeth or snoring. If you sleep lightly, you will not be able to sleep well all night.

The next morning the sky was overcast, and it was so hot that it was hard to sleep well.

With the sudden thunder, the pouring rain, the lightning, the thunder, the strong wind and the torrential rain woke up Xia Jing who was sleeping.

Laying on the bed for a while, she really couldn't lie down anymore, she got up and took a shower.

Sitting at the table and waiting for the maid to bring breakfast, Xia Jing looked up at the roof tiles carefully as she listened to the strong wind and rain outside. Not to mention such a heavy rain, she was really worried that the wind would knock the tiles off.

"Princess, today's breakfast is relatively light. The servant girl heard from the cook that when I first arrived here, I was afraid that everyone would not be acclimatized, so I specially made a light meal to let everyone get used to the environment in the south."

Hongmei explained while putting the breakfast on the table.

Xia Jing noticed that Hongmei's skirt was wet, "Is it raining in the corridor outside?"

"Well, it's raining and the wind is slanting outside, the corridor is completely wet, and a lot of water has accumulated, Wangfei, you will rest in your room after breakfast, don't go out, so as not to wet your clothes."

Speaking of Hongmei, she shook her head and exclaimed: "I have never seen such a heavy rainstorm. I think coming to Lingnan is different from our Gyeonggi. If this kind of torrential rain falls in Gyeonggi, all the drought will be relieved!"

Xia Jing had her breakfast, and all she could hear in her ears were little girls chattering about the customs of Lingnan.

From the tone of her voice, it's not difficult to hear that she is interested in everything.

"I believe you noticed it during dinner last night. The food is mainly light. I heard from the chef who stayed in the back kitchen that the governor said that people here don't eat heavy food very much, for fear of getting angry."

Xia Jing ate the boiled vegetables in the bowl, and silently swallowed them, they were overcooked, and they no longer had the crispness and sweetness of the vegetables.

Not long after the heavy rain fell, Xia Jing slowly stopped after breakfast.

The yard is full of dead branches and leaves that have been knocked down by the rain, and servants are already cleaning it.

There were ponds in many places on the road. Xia Jing crossed the ponds and breathed the fresh air as she walked, even the discomfort caused by the sweltering heat last night was swept away.

Stroll to the Yamen in the front yard.

In front of the lobby door, several teams of yamen servants stood in twos and threes. Judging from their laziness, those who didn't know it thought it was a nursing home.

Xia Jing stood by and listened for a while before she understood that banditry was more rampant in the remote and impoverished South of the Five Ridges than in the Central Plains.

Most of Lingnan is hilly landform, covered by mountains and forests, which is more suitable for the survival and development of bandits.

Standing in front of the yamen hall, King Qian asked Quanhe, "How many soldiers and horses are there in the state capital?"

The Dayu Dynasty has been passed down for more than 300 years, and border wars occurred frequently. The governor directly grasped the military and political power of a state.

That's why King Qian asked this question.

Lingnan has a special geographical location. For example, Yuzhou is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains. The state recruits [-] soldiers, but Lingnan can recruit [-] troops.

The Dayu Dynasty was severely underpaid, and the official figure was [-], but I don't know the actual number?

After Quanhe knew that Lingnan had been changed to the fiefdom of King Qian, he knew that he could not hide all important military and political matters in the area under his jurisdiction.

And Quanhe didn't even think about hiding it.

He raised three fingers and replied weakly: "Eight thousand."

"Eight thousand?" King Qian widened his eyes and asked angrily, "The imperial court gave you a military salary of 2 people, but you are actually paid eight thousand, which is less than half of the number. Your appearance is too ugly, isn't it?" ?”

Quan He felt guilty, facing King Qian's anger, he didn't say a word.

King Qian would not show mercy to him because of his silence.

Pointing to the dilapidated lobby behind him, he asked, "Look at this government office again. It doesn't look like a state government office. It's even worse than the ruined temples in the mountains! My king asks you, where are the taels of silver you greedy every year?" went?"

Quanhe's face was flushed, and he said falteringly: "Leave it to the imperial court."

Lingnan is rich in products, and it should be quite rich in theory, but due to frequent border wars, it has seriously affected the local economy and farming, resulting in a sharp reduction in taxes.

However, the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes handed over to the imperial court every year are not less than a penny, and Quanhe made such a bad plan because he was desperate.

Besides, he is not the only state capital in the whole world who has nothing to pay, who is he afraid of?

He was not afraid of the court knowing at all, even if he knew, the people above would just turn a blind eye and close their eyes.

If he doesn't pay for nothing, it will surprise the people above, as if he is a different kind, and he is out of tune with them.

After hearing his explanation, King Qian felt more disgusting than eating a fly!

Mr. Zhang noticed the ugly face of the lord, and took the initiative to take the quarrel, "Eight thousand soldiers are more than enough to suppress bandits, but why are there more and more bandits in Lingnan?"

Quanhe wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a bitter face: "Why are the bandits in Lingnan difficult to suppress? Why can't they destroy their roots? It's because there are many mountains and forests, and bandits like to drill into forests. They are better at fighting in the mountains and forests." Go around in circles with the officers and soldiers and fight guerrilla warfare. They fight if they win, and run away if they don't win. The officers and soldiers chase them, and they drill faster than you.

In addition, they are more familiar with the terrain in the mountains than the officers and soldiers. Once they get into the forest, they are like fish into the sea. When you are not prepared, they will fight back.Let the officers and soldiers be hard to guard against. "

King Qian despised the old man for being too brainy, "It's impossible to chase in the mountains and forests. Don't you know how to go straight to Huanglong and blow up their bandit nest? This king doesn't believe it. How can they survive in the forest without a nest!"

After fleeing for more than a month, the lack of a stable residence left a deep impression on King Qian.

He didn't believe that bandits could still live in the mountains without bandits.

Quanhe smiled wryly: "In Lingnan, the three caves of the cunning rabbit are only used to describe small thieves. Like the bandits in Lingnan, it is not too much to say that they have the 81th and [-]st caves of the cunning rabbit. If you destroy one den, they still have [-] dens waiting for you. Damn. The most important thing is that these people are running from several state capitals to commit crimes. Today they robbed a county in Lingnan, and when the officers and soldiers go to suppress them, they may have gone to the next state."

King Qian had never been on the battlefield, nor had he ever led troops to suppress bandits, so he really didn't know how to answer Quanhe's words if he was asked to command the experts.

Mr. Zhang looked at King Qian: "My lord, now that the imperial court has not sent an official document, my lord can't leave Lingnan privately. Otherwise, let's let my lord guide you to familiarize yourself with government and military affairs first?"

At present, they are eager to find out the basic situation in Lingnan before they can start work.

Lingnan mainly relies on agricultural tax to support the operation of the entire state capital. There is commercial tax, but it is pitifully small.

The border situation is turbulent and banditry is rampant. No caravan is willing to come to Lingnan for business.

It is said that if you go to business, you can earn a lot of money if you go well, but if you go badly, you will die, and you will directly entrust your life to this border land.

"I am willing to do my best for the lord, but if you have anything to do, just order it."

Quanhe actively cooperates, it is better to be in charge than to be an official, and before leaving, he will try his best to make friends with Qian Wangfu.

King Qian nodded: "In the past few days, the king will send the accountant of the palace to reconcile with the accountant of the government office. We will hand over all the affairs clearly before the official document is issued by the court."

Quanhe has no objection and is willing to cooperate. As for how much power King Qian can control in Lingnan, it all depends on his personal ability.

It is not easy to be the head of a border state capital. When he came to Lingnan, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, so he found the standard to live in harmony with everyone.

"Everything is up to the prince." Quanhe agreed with a smile.

King Qian really can't stand the yamen servants who can't stand upright, he pointed to the yamen servants in front of the door, "Starting tomorrow, set aside an hour every day for training, and my king will let my personal guards tailor-made for you. The method of training."

The servants' faces trembled, but they dared not speak out because of the prince's power.

Xia Jing looked on in amazement, how can a dandy among the dandies not get used to lazy yamen servants?
