Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

Chapter 489 Visit by the Prince of Nan'an, the status quo of Dakang

"Master Hou, the prince of Nan'an County is visiting!"

In the study room, with a quick glance at the half-open window, I saw the green window screen on this year's letter, and the crickets and crickets outside started their daily compulsory lessons again.

Originally, such a voice could not be heard in such a big family, especially the place outside Jia Jun's study, where the servants had cleaned it countless times.

But later, Jia Guan gave an order to let nature take its course, and there should be more cicadas singing in summer.

The boys seldom touched those little things. At the beginning of summer, Cailuan planned to kill these little things with medicine, but after hearing the words of the boys, it didn't matter in the end. Gradually, she got used to it. The sound of insects chirping in the night.

The moonlight tonight is very good, but the time is exactly [-]th, and the full moon has not yet climbed to the sky, but the outline is becoming more and more clear.

Er Niu stood outside the study with a thick voice.

Jia Gong raised his brows, this prince is interesting, how could anyone come at this time for a normal visit, this prince is afraid that he won't get annoyed by this Nan'an County King?Such a time was deliberately chosen.

"Old Freak Xu, do you think I want to meet this one?"

Inside the room, there were two people sitting, one was Jia Gong who had just returned to the Hou Mansion, and the other was Xu Yuan.

During this period of time, Jia Gong was no longer in the capital, and although Cailuan handled many matters in the mansion more and more easily, she still lacked a staff officer after all, so she invited this old fox in.

Right now, the two of them are talking about how much impact Jia Jun brought back will have!

Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin appeared on the way.

"Master Hou, didn't you just want to know what impact that thing will have on the world? That's it!!"

When Xu Yuan heard Jia Gong's words, he said casually, but hearing what the other party meant, it seemed that he meant something else.

After a moment of silence, Jia Ju said again: "These vassal kings seem to be not being honest anymore, but they seem to be acting too hastily!!"

"urgent??"

Xu Yuan's voice became a little weird, as if he didn't agree with what Jia Gong said.

Afterwards, he added: "Master Hou has been away from the capital for three months, do you know how the whole world is doing?"

"Oh?"

Jia Jun let out a light sigh, and looked at the old fox again.

"Listen to you, did the Marquis miss something?"

Xu Yuan chuckled.

"Not much, it's just that the number of rebels in various places has increased several times, but most of them have been suppressed and even the imperial court has set up a counter-insurgency force, which has been touring all over the country to counter-insurgency!"

Hearing the other party's words, Jia Jun shook his head lightly, he hadn't paid attention to this matter, and Cai Luan had never mentioned it to him in the letter, only said one thing, the court is trying every means to get money!

It even started to settle the old debts between the four kings and eight princes and the imperial court. The matter of the royal concubine visiting relatives cost nearly 80 taels of silver just to settle the old debts.

This shows one thing, the imperial court is very short of money now, and even adopted such disgraceful means to obtain it. Of course, it also shows that in terms of the imperial court, they are actually determined, but the current effect does not look very good good.

"Master Hou, you and I have stayed in Liaodong Town for three years. What kind of virtue do you have for the officials below? You and I can't help but be very clear!"

"The imperial court tightened their belts, saved food and money, and tried every means to get money. Batch after batch of disaster relief supplies were distributed, but how much will fall into the hands of the victims, I'm afraid it will be uncertain! !"

"Now it's such a season again, it doesn't have much influence in the Hou's Mansion, even for the entire capital city!"

"But for those people who depend on the sky for food, it is quite a disaster!"

"Master Hou came back from the west, and he should have seen a lot along the way! For the entire Dakang, those victims are just a drop in the ocean!"

"If the sky wants to destroy it, it must first make it crazy. This catastrophe is probably the biggest catastrophe since the founding of Dakang. The root cause of this catastrophe is not those alien races outside, but the common people of Dakang!!"

"If you don't even have enough to eat, then for the common people, what do you care about the country, and what about the court's attitude towards them? There is nothing you can do about it. After all, if a country or a court wants to pass on, it depends on the right Are these people killed? That will only lead to self-destruction!!"

"So, the value of these things you brought back can no longer be measured simply by some cold-resistant crops!"

"For Dakang, this is a life-saving medicine and a timely rain!"

"Nowadays, under such a situation, it's normal for those people to be unable to sit still. Once someone rises up, those Limin people who can't afford to eat will become their most loyal and reliable supporters!"

"Kill all those rich people, pull down those high-ranking officials, share their food, and live on your own. This kind of temptation is irresistible for those people who have never received the teachings of saints!"

"The eldest sons of the four princes came to the capital recently. I reckon their thinking is that they came here to find out the truth under the orders of their father!!"

"If what Lord Hou brought back is true, the world will soon be stable. If they rise up at this time, the chance of success will be greatly reduced!!"

"Rebellion is, after all, a task of tying your head to your waistband. If you can survive, generally no one is willing to do it!!"

"Of course, if they have other plans, it probably doesn't make much sense."

"The imperial court can't afford food, and neither can their vassal kings. The situation is similar. At most, the southern provinces are less affected by climate change. But don't forget, the taxes over there have increased. It's almost doubled, and the imperial court is also counting on the southern provinces to collect more taxes to help the northern provinces tide over the difficulties!"

"So, the lives of the people in various parts of Dakang are not as good as they are now, and the situation is mostly the same!"

After listening to Xu Yuan's analysis, Jia Guan sighed softly. If he followed the original track, how many lives would this cold snap take away?
"Everything will pass, when did the Marquis tell a lie?"

Hearing Jia Gong's answer, Xu Yuan nodded silently. As a counselor, he may consider things differently from ordinary people, but one thing is that he is not the kind of person who has no conscience, otherwise he would not be with Jia Gong. Ku come together.

"Then His Royal Highness, are we planning to meet?"

Xu Yuan thought for a while and said.

Jia Guan waved his hand.

"It's gone, and it won't do much to see it. When the time comes, I'll see for myself, and I won't bother to argue with them!"
