Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 867
Things are so noisy, it is naturally impossible to calm down easily.

Now furious, several cabinet-level meetings were held in a row to discuss countermeasures, intending to inflict heavy damage on the southern gentry group.

Still the same sentence, the royal family holds military power, so it is not so easy to face.

Half of the cabinet chiefs are from the south, so naturally they try their best to persuade them not to take harsh measures today, so as to avoid causing more acute conflicts.

At the same time, all ministers who are qualified to participate in the court meeting, whether they are happy or not, either passively or actively participate in it.

For a while, the official panic seemed to be overwhelmed by dark clouds.

The rumors in the market are even more exaggerated, and some even bluntly say that the south has turned its back.

In this incident, no matter if it was the royal relatives, military general Xungui, or civil servants, they were all involved.

The south is fat and oily, but whoever has a certain strength and power, which family has not stretched out their hands?

Being able to take a share of the benefits is a share, who would think that the money at hand is too hot?
It's just that now, the turmoil in the south is so great that it is actually following the current situation and directly pushing the bull, and some forces have already retreated.

Of course, wealth and wealth are in danger.

There are forces who think it is too dangerous and want to withdraw, and naturally there are forces who think it is a good opportunity to expand their strength and reap huge benefits, and want to go against the wind and commit crimes against the current.

Jia Rong herself didn't expect that Rongfu would be so bold?

He was suddenly invited by the old lady to go to the Rong Mansion to discuss matters, and he didn't take it seriously at first, which is what it should be.

After all, there was a lot of trouble this time, and the Jia family was born in Jinling, so it was inevitable that Li Xia, Guatian, couldn't explain clearly.

If it is rectified by the spokesperson of the southern forces today, will it be wronged?

But what he didn't expect was that the first thing the old lady said was: "The Jinling clan sent word that there are many southern gentry forces who hope that our Jia family can play a role at the critical moment, and our benefits will be indispensable afterward." !"

Here, the Second Master Zheng said directly: "Some of my colleagues in the south also told me about this, and everyone thinks it's a bit too much today!"

As for other people's statement, if the matter is completed, he will accept his guarantee to enter the Jiangnan Shilin circle, so there is no need to speak up.

Seeing this, Jia Rong didn't rush to speak, but looked at Mr. She.

"Don't look at me, I'm not interested in participating in such a thing!"

Master Xi waved his hand and said, "Lian Er also means the same thing, don't drag him into trouble, I will help him watch!"

"Boss, what kind of nonsense are you talking about? If the family benefits, can it be possible that Lian Er will be left behind?"

The old lady said dissatisfied: "If we bet right this time, both Lian Er and Zhu Geer can go one step further!"

"This is really inaccurate!"

Elder She curled his lips and said leisurely: "I still understand a little bit about official affairs, if Lian Er has made further progress because of this, how will he get out in the future?"

After finishing speaking, he shook his head, glanced at the second master Zheng, and said with a smile: "Second brother, if Zhu Ge'er's future and destiny are tied to those southern officials, what are you doing?"

"This one……"

The Second Master Zheng hesitated, but he didn't say a complete sentence.

Naturally, he was unwilling in his heart, but this didn't match his usual style, so it was naturally inconvenient to say it.

"Brother Rong, what do you think?"

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, the old lady directly called Jia Rong's name.

"Hehe, the old lady thinks she will give in now?"

Jia Rong asked curiously, "Why do you think so?"

"The south is where the essence of Daqian lies. Once something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous. It is estimated that we will not take too much risk today!"

The old lady said indifferently: "After all, Dagan Jiangshan belongs to the royal family, so it is naturally impossible for them to spoil themselves with the good essence!"

It is indeed powerful here, but it is a pity that some people take it for granted.

"If it was said in the past that the southern elite region belonged to the royal family, I don't have much other opinions to say!"

Jia Rong laughed and said, "But now, after such a lot of trouble, if you still say that the Jiangnan elite region belongs to the royal family, I will not agree!"

Speaking of this, he pouted disdainfully and said, "Except for grain tax and some salt tax, how many other resources in the Jiangnan region belong to the royal family?"

The old lady hesitated when she heard the words, a little embarrassed and didn't know how to reply.

"Old lady, those gentry in the south of the Yangtze River have had a good time, do you really think they are the local bully?"

Jia Rong sneered and said, "Tax, the tax is not worth mentioning, and there are not many other benefits!"

"But once something happens in the south, such as floods and droughts, when does the imperial court not make great efforts to relieve the disaster in time?"

"Everyone knows that the south is prosperous, but how much profit does the royal family get from the great interests in the south?"

Jia Rong said coldly: "If the Zhuangzi in the mansion can make a lot of money, but the mansion can only get a small head, what will the old lady do?"

Of course, at all costs, get Zhuangzi into his hands.

The old lady was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized that she didn't believe it: "You mean, today he will..."

Jia Rong didn't rush to answer, but asked instead: "Old lady, why do you suddenly want to make money in the south?"

The old lady couldn't keep up with the rhythm, subconsciously said: "Isn't this a natural thing, the emperor also acts like this!"

"It's still a little different!"

Jia Rong smiled and said: "The emperor is in his old age, as long as he has enough money to be smart, he won't care how the money came from!"

"Now is the time when he is in the prime of life. He wants to be a Mingjun, and he is the kind to be famous in history. How can he do it if he doesn't have enough money?"

The words were so deafening that the big bosses in the Rong Mansion were all confused and didn't know what to say.

"What is needed today is to leave a name in history, can the southern gentry group give it?"

"He needs a lot of money, but he doesn't have the idea of ​​exploiting the common people, so he can only find a way from taxation!"

"Originally, whether it's mining tax or tea tax, etc., it's a very normal tax. When did it become the court's exploitation of the local area?"

"The guys in the south think that they can force the present and the royal family to make compromises by controlling the power of public opinion. Are they worthy?"

Speaking of this, Jia Rong said coldly: "The knife is held in the hands of the royal family. I really want to annoy the present. What's the point of killing a few families who don't know how to praise?"

Speaking of this, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's not for us to participate in such a thing!"

"I've already written to the Jinling clan, asking them not to join in, or they will be unlucky, so don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"As for the future of Uncle Lian and Uncle Zhu, if there are a lot of vacancies in Jiangnan, do you worry that they won't have further opportunities..."
