Chapter 338 Summer Chaos Leisure

Bingzhou.

Dragon City.

"boom!"

"Damn it! Why did the fourth child get the seat! How could it be him? What is the boss doing?"

Prince Jin kept pacing in the study, his handsome and handsome face full of dissatisfaction.

There is a reason for this.

He had been at odds with King Yong when he was in the capital. He always felt that there was something wrong with Lao Si. He seemed to be quiet and non-competitive on weekdays, but in fact he was hiding the deepest things.

Of course, this also has something to do with the mothers and concubines of both parties.

No, something really happened.

The fourth guy actually won the throne.

"Yes, mother-in-law, the fourth child..."

King Jin hesitated a little. He instinctively felt that the fourth child would not attack his mother and concubine. After all, this was a taboo matter, but he was not sure. This matter was still risky.

"Your Majesty, please be at ease. Since King Yong is so hidden and scheming, he will not do anything irrational rashly. Otherwise, it will only provoke the King to fight with him, and also provoke King Liang and others. People are moving." Fang Xuan said firmly.

King Jin Humu looked over, looked at his most trusted staff member, and nodded, "You are right. If I care about you, you will be in chaos."

"However, now that the fourth child has become the emperor, what should I do next?"

The emperor ordered the vassal prince to return to the capital. Will you go back or not?

The emperor naturally possesses legal authority, which can be extremely fatal on certain issues!

Especially since he, the vassal king, cannot fully control everything in the fiefdom.

Although the Xia Kingdom had a vassal system, most of them only provided food or fiefs, and did not provide administrative power, financial power or even military power.

Although these current princes are somewhat special and can control part of the military and financial power, they do not fully control the fiefdom.

"Your Majesty, why don't you just wait for action? There are urgent matters. Let's see what the new emperor's decision is. After all, the two states of Jingyu are in chaos now. At the same time, we should contact the King of Liang now. If there is any disharmony, You should respond with the procrastination technique, and then..."

"Okay, okay, Fang Qing alone is better than an army of 100,000!"

Fang Xuan's eyes flashed and he smiled without saying a word.

At this time, it was not just King Jin.

King Liang, who was far away in Liangzhou, also took action.

However, unlike King Jin's decision, King Liang's side is close to the Western Desert. This place is full of sand thieves all year round, with many small countries, and people from further west come from time to time. It is simply a place where demons dance.

As a result, the king of the frontier fortress, King Liang, had considerable military power, and King Liang was also very brave, and had the aura of a reckless hero. He was always successful when charging into battle, and he also recruited those sand bandits and people from small countries. It has great prestige in the west.

As soon as he got the news, he had thoughts.

Why did the fourth child get the throne? I don’t accept it!

So, he is going to cause trouble!

Isn’t your fourth son the emperor?

Then let the world see how you want to treat your brother.

On that day, Liang Wangjiu proposed the idea of ​​guarding the country's borders and expanding its territory westward, so he hurriedly headed towards the capital with this memorial.

Naked temptation!

Even the two feudal lords were in this state.

The situation in other places can also be imagined.

The two states of Jing and Yu were already unstable, and they were dissatisfied with the imperial government's lack of care. Now that the old emperor died and the new emperor succeeded, the small rebellions in various places that had lasted for many years grew almost instantly.

The situation is completely out of control.

This situation was exactly what the King of Zhou was happy to see. He immediately increased the pace of his army's attack, and was about to capture another county. It was extremely fast.

For a time, there were many people in Jingzhou who believed that the Raging Wave Army and King Zhou could bring them peace and food.

besides.

Even the two states of Jiyou, which were directly controlled by the Xia Dynasty, showed some signs of instability.

In the Xia Dynasty, there were already fireworks everywhere!

At this time, 284 years had passed since the founding of the Xia Kingdom.

…

Yuezhou.

Hexia County.

No matter what, King Cheng was destroyed, Du Valley and Yaowang Valley surrendered, leaving only two major forces in Yuezhou. The wars between them were reduced, and the peace they brought was real.

The people of Yuezhou finally lived a relatively peaceful life.

Hexia County.

Because it was under Chen's control.

Therefore, the entire Hexia County is now implementing the New Deal.

What new deal?

New road policies, new tax policies, new business policies, etc.

Cement roads need to be laid everywhere.

Commercial tax should become the bulk of tax revenue and be collected by category.

In terms of business, various policies will be carried out and the status of businessmen will be improved to a certain extent. Regarding this, Chen Deng established the United Chamber of Commerce, a semi-official and semi-private organization, in accordance with the policies recorded in some handwriting left by Chen Nuo.

Members of the Chamber of Commerce are all businessmen of some importance in various places. They can represent themselves. Those who can join the Chamber of Commerce and become members have shed their identity as citizens and have half-stepped into the official ranks. They do not need to salute to officials, etc., and their social status has improved. promote.

The president of the Chamber of Commerce and several vice-presidents are official officials with high standards!

Chen Deng deliberately improved his business, which was certainly not without intention.

Chen Deng believes that business cannot be left alone. Having milk is a mother, and pursuing profits is the nature of most businessmen. Loyalty is a luxury for them, but excessive suppression is not a problem. Social development cannot be without the participation of businessmen. .

Therefore, suppression is worse than control.

Moreover, this also provides a path for people at the bottom of society to rise up.

Not only that, Chen Deng also has the idea of ​​using this to help those aristocratic families shift their industrial focus.

"These aristocratic families must pay taxes on the land they own. The more land they own, the more they have to pay! Bullshit head tax! One person with a bunch of children controls tens of thousands of acres of fertile land. Is this reasonable? This is unreasonable!"

Chen Deng was quite angry and even spit out swear words, which is rare.

Chen Yong, who had returned, was cracking melon seeds and watching his brother with interest.

Chen Deng took a deep breath and looked at the clerk below, "No matter what, we can give these guys commercial benefits, but the land must be handed over. They control too much land!"

According to his understanding, the degree of control of land by these aristocratic families under King Cheng is more exaggerated than that of their Chen family!

What does land mean?

It means money and food, it means lifeblood, and it means a large number of people!

If there are more of these and the situation changes again, what will it become?

Rebellion!

They are all destabilizing factors!

Chen Yong next to him yawned, "Brother, you can't do this. These noble families are just a bunch of cheap skins. They won't be honest unless they are beaten. I said to kill the last batch of guys, but you refused to listen. Look, you are scratching your head now."

Chen Deng's mouth twitched.

He complained in his heart, according to your method of killing, none of these elites will be left. Besides, our Chen family is not going to expand in the future, and we can't completely cut ourselves off from the noble family group!

Not all problems can be solved by killing!

We are no longer barefoot.

"Forget it, you guys are playing tricks and have a lot of bad water in your stomach. I'd better go find Brother Nuo."

Chen Yong shook his head and walked away while cracking melon seeds.

Chen Deng was a little envious of his leisurely posture.

"Ah~ I'm a little tired from working all year round..."

"Come on, give me some fish sashimi! I want it cold!"

...

Chen Mansion

Chen Nuo, dressed in a black and gold robe, was walking with Ning Hongye.

It had been more than half a month since he came out of retreat again.

It was already mid-October.

Hongye was already three months pregnant, and some normal reactions such as morning sickness were gradually appearing.

During this period, Chen Nuo did not go anywhere, nor did he retreat again, but just stayed with Hongye peacefully.

In addition, he probably practiced martial arts and went to the martial arts training ground to give guidance from time to time.

He could also go to the mountains to catch a few exotic beasts and bring them back for breeding to enrich the family's exotic beast reserves.

He lived a very leisurely and comfortable life.

However, happy days are always short.

As Hongye gradually became pregnant, some of the things he controlled in the family's finances were vacant, and his uncle Chen Shuiwen had limited ability. It was not easy to achieve the current level with the help of his staff and clansmen. How could he fully control the increasingly large and complex Chen family finances?

Therefore, Chen Nuo had to consider some issues.

Moreover, there is no accurate plan for Siming's affairs. The affairs of King Zhou and the Xia Kingdom are all major issues that need to be resolved urgently. Chen Nuo, who has reached this position, cannot avoid it.

"Husband, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about who in the family can take on the responsibility."

"Husband, you can actually go to the clan school and the county government. There are many clan members who graduated from liberal arts. They have been trained for a long time and may be useful."

Ning Hongye reminded.

Chen Nuo was stunned and nodded slowly. "It's been so long. The family is so strong now. It's time for talents to emerge. I hope to gain something."

In fact, it has only been eleven years since Chen Nuo became the clan leader. The only ones who can become talents are actually the children when he first became the clan leader.

If we really want to wait for a burst of talents, it will take another ten years. When the large number of children who have been carefully cultivated in the past few years grow up, it will be the time for a real burst.

"Let's go, accompany me to take a look?"

"Yes."

The two walked to the clan school together.

As a place to cultivate the younger generation of Chen family, it is naturally extraordinary. It covers a large area and has good facilities. Even the teachers are selected from the best. Those who are less than the Juren degree cannot enter!

As for the martial arts teachers, from the flesh realm to the tendons and bones realm, from swordsmanship to other eighteen weapons, fists and feet, etc., there is everything.

And Chen's old profession, medicine, is even more amazing. Now the doctors and old doctors in major medical clinics and even hospitals often come to give lectures, authoritative guarantee!

With these three methods, Chen's clan school is not the best in the world, but it is definitely unique in Yuezhou!
