Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 918 Courtier: Jia Rong is very cunning

Ning Mansion, Ning An Hall side room.

When Jia Rong came back, she rushed back here as soon as possible to visit Qin Keqing, who had a big belly and could only lie down and prepare to give birth.

He is not an aborigine, so his attitude towards women is naturally very different, which moved Qin Keqing very much.

The second master of the Xi government government is the best proof. Mrs. Wang was pregnant with Jia Baoyu for less than three months, and Aunt Zhao was pregnant with Tanchun.

When Aunt Zhao gave birth to Tanchun, it was time for Mrs. Wang to cultivate her body, and within two months she became pregnant with Jia Huan again.

It's just slaps in the face one after another, it's no wonder Mrs. Wang is in a better mood.

If it weren't for the name of praying for Baoyu, with Mrs. Wang's temperament, she might really be cruel.

Just like this, the second master Zheng's reputation is actually not bad, he is a caring existence.

Ahem, thinking about the hidden meaning behind these words, there is a kind of chilling rush, and I can only sigh that the status of women is not ordinary.

For a loving couple like Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, there are also many aunts and maidservants among them.

It can only be said that the large-scale society spends the main resources on the cultivation of the elite class, which is really willing to spend money, and it is very unfair to women.

To be honest, Jia Rong is an outlier of the Daqian Dynasty.

After marrying Qin Keqing, there was no aunt or housemaid by her side.

It's not that Qin Keqing didn't allow it, but that Jia Rong didn't have such thoughts.

That is to say, they have been married for several years, and Jia Rong has no other women around her. This makes Qin Keqing very envious and jealous by the ladies in the circle.

Unlike Lian Er, it was because he had a fierce wife, but Jia Rong didn't have much demand for female sex, and he had a more interesting career.

In short, Qin Keqing's attitude towards Jia Rong is quite close, not the so-called respectful attitude of ordinary couples in big families.

Both Jia Rong and Qin Keqing never shy away from talking about things that the couple can discuss, and gradually formed a habit.

Like this time, Qin Keqing was a little worried: "Master, is it a little risky, after all, it is something to offend people!"

"Adventure, how could it be possible to take a risk?"

Jia Rong shook her head and chuckled, and said leisurely: "Don't worry, there is no risk at all, at least this trial will be successful!"

Seeing Qin Keqing's curious face, he explained with a chuckle: "Where are Jinmen and Tongzhou, in my opinion, they are towns that prospered through commerce and trade!"

"Such a town has a characteristic that it can attract a large number of migrant workers, and the flow of people and goods is quite frequent!"

"Let's put it bluntly, the main force in these two places is businessmen, not landlords and riches. Most of the resources are invested in commercial logistics!"

"Look at Tongzhou. There are farms with names and surnames around them. They are all in the hands of someone. Do they need to pay taxes and food?"

"The rest of the land is in the hands of the local clan villages, and only a few people own the land property rights!"

"Implementing a whip method in Tongzhou, you only need to deal with those clan elders, as well as those treacherous officials in the yamen!"

"If you really encounter someone who doesn't have a good eye, you can directly start the recruitment mode and recruit all the tenants and tenants in the field as workers. What will he do?"

Qin Keqing was dumbfounded, how could she do this?

At the same time, my heart was relieved, Jia Rong was not a liar, since he said that it is very simple and easy to implement a whip in Tongzhou, it should be so.

"As for the Jinmen side, it's even simpler!"

Jia Rong laughed and said: "Before, there was the water transportation yamen, the Daotai yamen and the sub-helm of the Cao Gang!"

"Those low-ranking officials who are not interested in buying property and are willing to buy land there are either petty officials in the yamen, or elite members of the Cao Gang!"

"There are not even many clan villages in Jinmen!"

"I want to implement a whip method in such a place. If it doesn't work, Wang Ziteng will stop being in the officialdom!"

Qin Keqing heard her beautiful eyes twinkle, and said with a light smile, "I heard what the master said, such an easy and simple task, why did the master take it down?"

"Some people don't know what they are thinking?"

Jia Rong shook her head and said, "A whip method is definitely a good method that can help the people reduce their burden and pressure, and restrain the local government from acting recklessly!"

"For the real gentry and powerful, it doesn't have that much influence, and it may be a little touched by their control over the people at the bottom!"

"But even so, they are still not willing to relax their exploits of the people, and they are not willing to leave any gaps!"

That is to say, at this time, the financial pressure of the Daqian Empire has not reached the point of being unsustainable, otherwise he would have to let those so-called gentry and powerful know the wonderful taste of "officials and gentry pay food as one".

Qin Keqing was completely relieved, a peaceful smile appeared on her beautiful face, suddenly a feeling of tiredness hit her, and she soon fell into a deep sleep.

As for the filth of court officials, she didn't care to understand it, and she didn't want to delve into it too deeply, there were too many dirty things in it.

After finally jumping out of the abandoned prince's party, she didn't want to continue jumping into a quagmire, or she would cry to death.

In fact, there are absolutely a lot of smart people in the court.

Maybe at the beginning, I was caught off guard by the pilot project of the four major families in Jinling, and the matter was settled before I realized it.

When you regain your senses and think about it slowly, you will soon notice the unusual things in Tongzhou and Jinmen.

The key point is that the officialdom in Jinmen and Tongzhou at this time has been firmly controlled by the four major families in Jinling, and it is not easy for outsiders to reach out.

The cabinet leaders will not spend a lot of resources to forcefully intervene in order to think about something, and the rest of the forces do not have that strong strength.

Jia Rong is so cunning at such a young age!
After sorting out their thoughts and logic, the court chiefs couldn't help but look at Jia Rong, the head of the four major families in Jinling, with admiration.

To talk about what happened this time, it wasn't that Jia Rong deliberately said it, and they didn't believe it even if they were killed.

In fact, I already knew it in my heart today, but I just need a good beginning, otherwise it will not be easy for Jia Rong to achieve his goal.

Of course, Dai Quan's tip-off from Daming Palace is indispensable.

If it weren't for this fellow, he would have fully informed Jia Rong of his current state of mind, so that he could seize the opportunity directly, otherwise things would definitely have twists and turns.

Early today, I wanted to try a whip method to see if it could increase the fiscal revenue for the imperial court. As for the scale of implementation, there are not many requirements.

In fact, after Wang Ziteng took over the task of implementing a whip method in Jinmen and Tongzhou, he was still a little apprehensive at first.

But soon he realized that there were very few people who needed to be careful.

That being the case, if he still can't do well, it's not justified.

Soon, the propaganda about the one-whip law was forcibly promoted through the yamen of the two places, with the purpose of directly sinking to the ears of every household in the clan village.

If you want to do this, if you follow the old tradition, the old methods are naturally quite difficult.

Everything is posted at the gate of the yamen, and the existence that can understand and understand, how can it be the low-level people who do not enter the city all the year round?

At that time, the content of the notice has changed hands several times, and it is unknown what the hell will change into. It is likely to be directly different from the original meaning.

Then, the relevant people who handled the matter had another way to exploit the common people, just exaggerating like that.

Fortunately, Wang Ziteng's subordinates also accepted some outstanding students from Jia's family studies, and some of the best students even had internship experience in the largest newspaper in the capital, "Syllabus Review".

Cough, things like newspapers, the imperial court and civil servant groups will never allow private operation, and if they find something wrong, they will kill it immediately, and they will never be soft-hearted.

In the era of feudal ethics and ethics, people were very sensitive to ideology and public opinion propaganda, and it was impossible to let go of restrictions.

In some novels, the pig's feet play tricks and produce a hugely influential newspaper, which is inviting disaster for themselves.

Not to mention whether it is possible for the royal family to kill donkeys and pick peaches, but for the stability of their own right to speak, the civil official group absolutely cannot tolerate the pig's feet to continue to live.

Think about it, if the pig's foot is a one-track mind, after establishing a newspaper to grasp the propaganda position of the dynasty's public opinion, will it be hot-headed to question the negative effects of Confucian classics and Confucianism on society?
Don't doubt, once the war of words starts, anything can be said.

Coupled with the critical environment of Confucianism in modern society, if the pig's feet are affected and start the crazy spray mode, it will be self-defeating.

It can only be said that Jia Rong was very clever in binding "Polo Review" and the Polo League, so that readers' first reaction would be to regard it as an entertainment newspaper.

In fact, the trend of newspapers has long been developed among the people, but they are all eyeballs for playing around and playing lace news.

In essence, the "Polo Review" is almost the same, rarely talking about court affairs and hot social events.

The comments that really have a certain social influence are the comments of the readers of the supplement.

Gossip aside, Wang Ziteng decided to adopt a new propaganda model under the suggestion of an outstanding student of Jia Family Studies, and he must publicize a policy of whipping to the bottom.

Rather than being similar to the past, it is just a formality, and at the end there is a sentence "imperial power does not go to the countryside", which is very hypocritical to cover up the past.

That's just the most lazy way of ruling a dynasty.

If local officials really have the ability to spread power to the countryside, let's see if the emperor is happy or unhappy?

So soon, many shopkeepers walking between the villages in Jinmen and Tongzhou became the main force of the first wave of propaganda.

These shopkeepers who walk in the countryside are absolutely willing to work hard in order to be able to earn a living.

They are articulate, and they are very familiar with the villages where they often travel, and they can gain part of the trust of the local people.

The government only needs to gather these peddlers for simple training, and then reward them with money to make them move, and the effect is really just right.

However, in just half a month, the envoys sent out by Tongzhou Zhizhou Lian Er sent back news that made him quite satisfied.

In the few villages that the envoy went to, the villagers at the bottom all knew the name of a whip, and knew that it was the latest good government promulgated by the court in order to reduce their burden, and it was quite friendly to them.

But that's all!
After all, those shopkeepers were summoned temporarily, and they only had a very simple training, and they didn't know much about a whip.

If you really want them to tell a reason, it is also embarrassing them.

Of course, just from the name alone, a whip method is easy to explain, in fact, it has the same meaning as itself.

It's just that, in order to prevent the salesmen from being the main force of propaganda for the first time and causing any jokes and troubles, we didn't open such an opening for them.

In addition, the envoy who gathered the wind also made it very clear that the local clan elders quickly realized that those with a good temper sent gifts out of the village, and those with a bad temper immediately drove them away, which is not polite at all.

The shopkeepers didn't say it very clearly, but the local clan elders definitely knew it well.

On the bulletin board at the entrance of the Tongzhou Yamen, there is a detailed information on the whipping method.

As long as there are some contacts and news channels in the city, it is impossible not to know about them.

Now that they know about it, if they still want to drive them away, it is obvious that a whipping method has violated their own interests, it's as simple as that.

However, in the absence of powerful gentry and powerful organizations in the local area, ordinary landlords and rich people, as well as rural clan elders who face the careful arrangements of the yamen, how could they be opponents?

Immediately afterwards, the yamen of the two places organized an official storyteller propaganda team.

With trained storytellers and several well-rounded officers and soldiers as the backbone, supplemented by some officials and local capable people, the propaganda team formed went directly into the village.

The routine is also very simple. After arriving at the village, directly call the village head to gather all the villagers together to listen to the story.

It is the slack time for farming, so there is no need to worry that doing so will delay the farming time.

Regardless of whether the village head and the elders are happy or not, at least the villagers are very happy.

They are unlikely to participate in a decent entertainment all year round, and it is also an excellent pastime to hear the storytelling of the storyteller.

Then, the storyteller's castanets slapped, and he immediately fluently narrated stories that he had never heard before.

Naturally, it is impossible for them to hear that these short stories are mastered by Jia Rong himself, and then filled in by a group of ethnology students.

In fact, it is also very simple, that is, after the implementation of the whipping method, the villagers in a certain village have not heard of it, and the official messengers who came down did not tell the truth, and the villagers were required to provide additional miscellaneous taxes related to it.

There is a young man in the village, but he feels that something is wrong.

Because he has a relative in the town, and he vaguely mentioned this when he walked around before, as if praising that this is a good law of the court.

How can such a good law require the villagers to pay more taxes? Isn't that a joke?
However, the officials who came down to read out the policy spoke viciously, and the village head and clan elders all believed it. Although the young villagers were suspicious, they did not dare to express it...

　What's the matter, my throat doesn't itch and I don't feel any discomfort in my body, I just keep coughing, almost making it hard to breathe
