Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 865 I'm so crazy

Whenever there are big festivals, gifts from the Jinling clan are delivered early.

On the birthday of the direct lineage of the Ningrong Second Mansion, heavy gifts were also sent from thousands of miles away.

There's really nothing to say about that attitude.

I'm afraid that the clan in the capital city will become prosperous by themselves and kick the Jinling clan aside.

Jia Rong thought it was funny, but the problem was that Nima had to show something, otherwise how would he lead a bunch of useless people?
On the other hand, the old lady of Xifu treated the visitors from the Jinling clan very kindly.

It is understandable that the old lady has always wanted to expand the influence of the Rongfu in the clan, so she naturally hopes that the Jinling clan will pay more attention to the Rongfu.

Jia Rong doesn't care, he doesn't expect much from the Jinling clan, as long as it can be useful, don't lose the chain.

The Jinling clan obviously had a detailed understanding of the situation on the capital clan's side.

He was polite to the old lady, and the second room was in the same situation.

On the side of Rongfu Dafang, the attitude is quite enthusiastic.

Lian Er is in charge of Tongzhou, which has a great influence on the commerce and trade going from south to north, and the Jinling clan obviously intends to get a share of the pie.

As for the Ning Mansion, it is natural to be respectful and respectful, hoping to get Jia Rong's attention and smoothly integrate into the clan circle in the capital.

No kidding at all!

At this time, the four major families in Jinling, with the prince vacating the place to be the head of the army, the wind direction and status that had been deflected have returned to their original positions.

The Jia family, headed by the Ningrong Second Mansion, has once again become the boss of the four major families in Jinling.

This is not just a name, but a real benefit.

Before, Wang Ziteng became a representative figure of the four major families, and the momentum of the Wang family had grown considerably.

Not to mention all the resources of the four major families in Jinling, at least some of them are gathered towards the Wang family, which is a natural thing.

Not to mention Wang Ziteng, if the four major families in Jinling want to maintain their status, there must be a stable presence in the court, otherwise all benefits may be lost.

The strength of the four companies gathered together to supply the best to ride the wind and waves, which is a natural act of self-preservation.

During this period, the Jia family and the Jinling clan also paid a lot of price.

At this time, the status of the four major families returned to their original positions, and the Jinling clan naturally wanted to get back the price they paid, and they could go one step further.

It would be a dream to achieve this without the full support of the clan in the capital.

Prince Teng of the royal family is still the leader of the local army, but it is not that no Jinling clan who is struggling in the officialdom can suppress him.

Regardless of gossip, the Jinling clan knew what happened last time, and they made Jia Rong, the patriarch, very uneasy, and felt dissatisfied in their hearts.

Later, in order to show off, and at the same time correct his attitude, and understand his own shortcomings, he simply became a special intelligence collector to help the clan in the capital collect the latest intelligence from the south.

Jia Rong did not refuse their kindness, and indeed needed the latest information from the south, even the most basic price information was good.

Although he did not become an official, the information and materials that the Ke Ning Mansion, as a core member of the honorable forces, can obtain are quite astonishing.

Through careful research, he found that the situation in Dagan at this time was similar to that in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and it can only be said that the social stability level was better.

But the problems that appeared in the middle and late Ming Dynasty also appeared in Dagan at this time.

The population is growing rapidly, land mergers are serious, and the economy is developing well, but the country's tax revenue is declining year by year.

It can only be said that the royal family holds military power, the civilian group has not expanded so rapidly, and the political situation in the court is still stable.

But the problem is that with the rapid economic development in the South, the economic gap between the North and the South has further widened, and the situation is getting worse.

As the emperor, he naturally wanted to balance the economic gap between the north and the south, and at the same time reduce the sharp regional conflicts caused by different economic levels.

The best way to use it is naturally to achieve the goal through tax adjustments.

It's a pity that the power of the southern gentry has reached a certain level at this time, and it is not something that the royal family can control if they want to.

As for taxation, ahem, if you say too much, you will be in tears.

The Han Dynasty, whether it is the emperor or the court, still needs face.

Whenever the imperial court and the emperor want face, there are many methods that can be used by the local government.

The most commonly used method is to use public opinion means to force the face-conscious emperor to compromise. The best name is that the royal family should not compete with the people for profit.

However, the economy in the south was developed and the style of writing flourished, and the dominance and discourse power of shilin gradually fell into the hands of the gentry forces in the south. Naturally, there were various tax policies aimed at the imperial court.

What kind of business tax and what kind of mining tax are basically just a name, and there are not many that can be collected.

If the salt tax was not an important source of income for the treasury, even the salt tax would have become a dispensable noun.

Under such circumstances, the power of the southern gentry group expanded rapidly, while the power of the royal family stagnated.

Such a situation is dangerous!

Anyone who knows a little about the history of the Ming Dynasty knows that it is time for a change.

When the royal family has the sword, the initiative is naturally still in the royal family's hands. It depends on how far the southern gentry group can retreat.

This information, combined with the disorganized information collected by the Jinling clan, can naturally make many accurate judgments.

It's just that Jia Rong didn't expect that the news that she wanted to make changes today caused a strong reaction from the southern gentry group.

According to the summary of the news sent by the Jinling clan at the first time, the content is so explosive that the gang of scholars in the south almost pointed their noses at the present and scolded them for doing anything wrong.

Nima, you are really arrogant!

Jia Rong, as the head of the Ning Mansion and one of the core leaders of the Jingcheng Xungui Group, was very careful to avoid content about the royal family and court battles when writing novels in a vest.

Whether it is "Chen Shimei's Biography", "Cornucopia", or "Kaifeng Mansion", there are quite few descriptions of the battle between the royal family and the court.

Of course, the royal battle mentioned in "Kaifeng Mansion" does not have much universal significance.

Among other things, today's heirs are quite rich. There are as many as seven surviving princes, and the number of princesses is not far behind.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with Song Renzong who has no direct blood inheritance.

As for the fact that Wuyou Cave involved the imperial court and the royal family, it was almost like a legend. Anyone who really believed it would have a brain problem.

In short, the three novels he wrote in a vest are aimed at down-and-out scholars, country folk and low-class people, and have little to do with the royal family and the court.

But the scholars in the south dared to denounce the right and wrong of the emperor's actions. They were simply typical of not taking their own heads seriously.

I just don't know, where did they get the courage, who gave them the courage...
