The lucky star of rebirth

Chapter 61 News
Cheng Huaijin thought for a while, raised his head slightly, looked at Emperor Qingfeng with burning eyes, and slowly uttered two words: "Land."

"What?" Emperor Qingfeng was surprised.

Cheng Huaijin looked calm: "Land, you asked me what the foundation of the family is, and my answer is land. The family has thousands of hectares of fertile land, not only can obtain food and money from the land, the most important thing is the tenants, Where there is land, there are tenants, and if there is any turmoil or something, you can coerce these tenants to use them for him, which is why the dynasty changes and the family becomes more prosperous."

Emperor Qingfeng was even more amazed: "I never thought of this, it's so, it's so."

Cheng Huaijin nodded: "That's it. Why should Your Majesty be a scholar, a farmer, a businessman?"

Emperor Qingfeng shook his head.

Cheng Huaijin sneered: "The people who set up the hierarchy of scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce are people from aristocratic families. Does Your Majesty still think it is the emperor? At that time, the emperor was only influenced by the aristocratic family. Why are they like this? Naturally, it is for their own interests. Firstly, the aristocratic families mastered books and knowledge, and there were more scholars, and it was extremely difficult for poor students to study, and it was the children of the aristocratic families who really had the right to speak in the court. Secondly, the aristocratic families controlled most of the land, They also took up the word Nong, and thirdly, they are jealous of merchants, fearing that merchants will rob them of their right to speak."

"How is it possible?" Emperor Qingfeng had never heard of such arguments, so he was naturally skeptical.

Cheng Huaijin's face became more and more cold: "How is it impossible? Merchants value profits and transport goods from south to north. Naturally, there is no shortage of money. Most of them are smart and flexible. If they go to school, it is much easier than poor students. Yes, if the business of merchants grows bigger, it is inevitable to hire people. There are more merchants in this world and fewer tenant farmers. They will naturally try to suppress merchants, but if you really say how noble they are and how disdainful they are, that’s not the case, Your Majesty Think about it, which of those aristocratic families does not have a shop and caravan?"

These words completely dispelled the doubts in Emperor Qingfeng's heart, he pondered for a long time, and finally thought clearly, Emperor Qingfeng slapped the table and stood up: "The intention is sinister."

After taking pictures of the table, Emperor Qingfeng asked Ji Cheng Huaijin again: "Tell me, what should I do if I want to completely hurt the family?"

Cheng Huaijin smiled: "Heavy business, heavy industry."

Emperor Qingfeng understood immediately, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, since they are doing everything possible to suppress them, then we will try our best to elevate the status of craftsmen and merchants."

"Elevate the status of craftsmen in order to make all kinds of sharp tools. If there are any utensils that can replace human labor to cultivate the land, no matter how much land the family has, it will not help the world if there are not so many people. It's not that your Majesty wants to suppress it. How to suppress? Raise the status of merchants. If these merchants run workshops and factories, they will also need a lot of manpower. If the wages paid by merchants are higher, the tenants will transfer from land to workshops, and they can also accommodate some people. It touched the foundation of the family."

Cheng Huaijin broke it open and smashed it to pieces to explain to Emperor Qingfeng, Emperor Qingfeng was always a wise man, so why didn't he understand, he nodded: "This method is good, it will not only shake the foundation of the family, but also strengthen the country and enrich the people, All right, all right, all in one fell swoop."

In this way, the two discussed again, Emperor Qingfeng flipped through the secret reports, and slapped his hand on the table after reading it: "Let's wait for me to think about how to act, this matter can't be rushed, it has to be done slowly, otherwise, those courtiers It's time to make irresponsible remarks, say anything that violates the sage's learning, the shitty sage's learning, the sage has been dead for more than a thousand years, who knows what the sage thought and said at that time? It's not all posterity want."

The corners of Cheng Huaijin's mouth twitched, and there was a smile in his eyes: "Your Majesty is very right. What many saints say is just nonsense made by later generations, so it is unbelievable."

For a while, the monarch and his ministers looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.

However, Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Xu got orders from Mrs. Wu to inquire with the lords of Ji's family about which ones are unmarried, temperamental and talented. Ji Gang went to the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment before entering the yard to meet him. Looking at Li Qing, the head of the criminal department, the two greeted each other. Li Qing and Ji Gang walked in together, and said as they walked, "I happened to meet Mr. Ji. I have something to ask Mr. Ji about."

Ji Gang smiled and said, "Brother Li, please tell me."

Li Qing also smiled: "My wife's natal family has a nephew who is just eighteen years old this year. He is handsome and talented. Although he is not as talented as his brothers in the adult family, he is not bad. In addition, he has a good personality. Now that he is a Juren, he wants to find a beautiful and gentle wife as his wife. I heard that there is a young girl in Mr. Ji's family who has a good character, so I want to ask Mr. Ji what he means. People come to ask for marriage."

Ji Gang was a little hesitant when he heard this, and thought for a while and said: "I can't make up my mind about this matter, I have to go home and ask my parents, and I can only do it with my parents' permission."

Li Qing smiled: "This is what it should be. Master Ji will go back and ask, and he will give you an accurate answer on whether it will be successful or not."

Ji Gang agreed to come down, and when he went back, he mentioned it to Ji Yi and Wu Shi, and Ji Zhen said that although his classmate's family was poor, he was very self-motivated, and he was the most filial. Jiang Yedao inquired about a son from a famous family. This son is the youngest son in the family. He does not need to inherit the clan, and he is upright and upright by nature, so he is suitable for Ji Songxian.

Over there, Ji Wei also said that Lin Hanlin had a son who missed his wedding due to filial piety, and he is now in his twenties. He has seen this son before. It is the most suitable for not worrying about food and clothing, but also having a clean backyard at home.

In addition, Ji Yi and Wu's also inquired about several families, so many good candidates gathered in one place, Ji Yi and Wu's didn't know how to choose.

After discussing for a while, the two decided to inquire more carefully.

And Mrs. Wu wanted to tell Ji Songxian about the family background and character of these people, and ask Ji Songxian what he meant.

Not to mention how Mrs. Wu asked Ji Songxian, and how Ji Songxian answered, but Ji Yi thought about it for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and went to a place where news is sold. There were offices for the circulation of news in various places, and later they inquired about too many things, and they also did some things to sell news.

This place is in the backyard of a tea house in Jinling. After Ji Yi went there, he wrote down the names of the young gentlemen he wanted to check and handed them over, saying that he wanted to know what happened to these people in the shortest possible time. , As for the price, it is not a problem.

The shopkeeper of the teahouse originally thought that Ji Yi was going to investigate some embarrassing matter, but he didn't expect to investigate some matters in the back house, so he took the note with a smile and negotiated the price with Ji Yi. Made of silver with a hundred taels of pattern.

Ji Yi was delighted to have made this deal, and even laughed a few times after getting out of the teahouse and getting into the carriage.

He went home and waited for the final result, but Wu didn't ask what Ji Songxian's exact intentions were, so he could only wait for Ji Yi to make up his mind, and Ji Songxian sorted out all the test questions during this period, together with the answers. Send it to the printing workshop, plus the Song Ci that she silently produced, and a craftsman called the workshop used movable type printing to print it.

About ten days later, the Gu family sent a stack of scrolls, and Ji Yi took it home and went to discuss business with the Wu family.

After taking the scroll, the two of them went to look at it one by one. The first thing they looked at was Li Qing's nephew, but they saw that the nephew's surname was Gong and his name was written on the paper. Mr. Yulang is known as Mr. Yulang, and his family is indeed poor. He is also quite motivated, and there is no room in the house, and he has no ambiguity with any young lady.

At first glance, this Gong Yu was in good condition everywhere, as if it was perfect, but when he was young, he was too jumpy, once he climbed a tree and fell from a tree and hurt his root, he found a famous doctor himself for diagnosis and treatment, and it was because of his heirs. I can't come to the conclusion that I am currently secretly taking medicine, whether it will be better or not is still in doubt.

After Ji Yi finished reading, Mrs. Wu frowned and said, "This Mr. Li is too bullying. His nephew dares to propose marriage to my family like this."

Ji Yi waved his hand: "I don't blame him, he doesn't know about it, and Gong Yu is keeping it a secret."

"Only such a person can't ask our sister Xian to marry him. If he never recovers in his life, it won't delay our daughter." Wu Shi gritted her teeth.

Ji Yi nodded: "It is said that such a person cannot marry."

While talking, the two picked up the page that recorded Ji Zhen's classmate. Ji Zhen's classmate was named Yu Wenzhao. Just looking at the name, Wu Shi was a little reluctant. She said: "Your name is Yi, He called the omen, and the name overwhelmed you, how could this happen."

Ji Yi stared, but he didn't expect such a reason, and couldn't help being a little funny.

Mrs. Wu asked Ji Yi to read it quickly, and Ji Yi had to read it word by line. This Yu Wenzhao came from a poor family. He lost his father when he was young and was raised by a widowed mother. His first name is Jie Yuan, he seems to be quite talented, but because this person was raised by his widowed mother since he was a child, and everything was arranged by his widowed mother, he has no ideas, and his mother is too filial, so he obeys everything his mother says Do, and his widowed mother is mean and fierce, not a good learner.

"It's not going to work, absolutely not." Wu's head shook like a rattle: "Such people..."

When she said this, just when Ji Songxian came to pay her respects, La Ji Songxian, who did not care about Wu's family, came over to pay attention, pointed to the piece of paper that recorded Yu Wenzhao's information and said, "Xian'er, take a look, it's not good for mother to look at this person."

Ji Songxian glanced at Ji Yi's meeting ceremony twice, and immediately vetoed it.

A man is supposed to stand upright, so what is it that Yu Wenzhao always listens to his mother?
In the future, if he becomes an official and a political party, will he still listen to his mother?He married a wife and had children to live his own life. Could it be that his mother has the final say on everything?Such a cartilage man with no idea will not succeed.

Ji Songxian suddenly remembered that after more than a thousand years, this kind of man has another name, that is Mabao, opposite, it is Mabao, living with this kind of man is the most tiring, not to mention, Yu Wenzhao has not yet Father, his mother must have had a lot of hardships in raising him, and because he lost her husband early, his mother must have a strong desire to control him. For a family like this, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the most difficult. It must be very difficult for people.
