Volume 302: Chapter : The "difficulties" of local governments expressed by the Great Yan Dynasty (including new rewards)

"Hmm? What's wrong with you today? You look so exhausted?"

However, no one knew what happened in the painting except Chen Qi and the three sisters of the Sui family. When Tallulah saw Chen Qi the next day, she found that Chen Qi looked a little dazed, and the whole person looked very different from the state yesterday.

In fact, Ling was furious in the scroll yesterday. After she finally subdued Nian, she almost used her servant [Qingping] to turn it into a belt. But just when Ling was about to use the behemoth-level family law on Nian, Chen Qi stood up in time and protected Nian, thus saving Nian from physical pain.

After all, although Chen Qi didn't know when Nian's surging emotions began and why he didn't feel anything at all, since Nian did this, he had to stand up to protect Nian. He would not allow anyone to hurt his important people under any excuse.

In the end, Chen Qi tried his best to persuade Ling, and even prepared Ling to use force to exert his authority, but Ling did not do so in the end. Instead, he showed an extremely optimistic expression to Chen Qi, and earnestly instructed Chen Qi:

"Thirteenth brother... Never mind, I'll just call you Chen Qi. After all, this is who you were from the beginning, right?"

"Your eldest brother is right. I am indeed not suitable to be a sister, but as a sister, I know that I must seek benefits for my brothers and sisters. Now that we have your help, we brothers and sisters have the opportunity to live a happy life. Your sister, I have only one request."

"You've seen the situation of Nianmei and Ximei. As an older sister, I can't control them, but as a younger brother... no, they probably don't really treat you as a younger brother. Probably only the eldest and second brothers will really treat you as a younger brother."

"I don't care what happens next, but you must not make even the slightest move at the foot of the Imperial City. Sister Ling doesn't want your efforts to go to waste, and she doesn't want us to get you into trouble."

"The two sisters can't control themselves, but you have to control yourself and them. In the future, if you can find a place where Da Yan can't find you, everything is up to you!"

"As for Big Brother...I'll take care of it for you!"

Ling had given up the idea of ​​getting Nian and Xi to listen to her. They had already scolded her and warned her so many times, and they were still causing trouble for her. It could only be said that by pulling Chen Qi into the world of the scroll, they knew to be cautious, but it was still walking on a tightrope!

Ling knew that she couldn't control her two sisters, but Chen Qi would definitely listen to her! And Chen Qi would definitely stick to her bottom line, because Ling had her killer move in her hand.

"Otherwise, I will have to explain this matter to your Tallulah. Even if her current strength cannot threaten you, but..."

"..."

Well, now that it was over, Chen Qi knew what to do. But Chen Qi also knew that he couldn't keep this a secret for too long, so he had to find a suitable opportunity to tell Tallulah.

As for Nian...after that day, Nian became active again in the crew as if nothing had happened. The familiar laughter of this lively girl filled the crew again after a long time, which made everyone who had already gotten used to Nian's presence and missed her a lot after not seeing her for a while, relax a lot.

On the contrary, Xi has once again returned to the familiar stay-at-home mode, and has immersed herself in the painting and has not come out until now... I wonder what she is thinking.

Nian and Xi, what did they talk about in the end? Chen Qi looked at Nian, who was smiling happily as he returned to his post and supervised the filming. He found that even with his imagination, he had no idea what happened between Nian and Xi... It was just like he couldn't understand why these two had feelings for him.

And last night, after Xi woke up and Chen Qi and Ling finally left the scroll world, Xi, who had now calmed down, gradually discovered that there was something wrong with Nian's behavior.

It was not surprising that Nian could guess her thoughts, nor was it surprising that he foresaw her behavior in advance and recast her painting. However, Nian had never expressed his opinion before, so it was strange that she suddenly made up her mind. What's more, your sister also arrived, almost on time!

It’s as if... someone informed your sister in advance?

"You did all this? You directed and acted in this drama yourself. You snatched Chen Qi away, and then let yourself be caught by Sister Ling? What on earth do you want to do?"

"...Ha, you figured it out already? It seems that in terms of script alone, I am really not as good as Chen Qi. I can't help but admit it."

However, facing Xi who had seen through her "script", Nian showed the same cheerfulness as before. She now looked as if the haze in her heart had been swept away and there were no more hidden worries in her heart.

"Why do you do this? What good will it bring to you?" Xi suppressed his anger and asked Nian patiently. However, Nian did not hide anything this time and said openly:

"…The first bird to stick its head out gets shot, right? Your sister has repeatedly warned both of us not to do anything impulsive. If anyone sticks their head out first, they will definitely get beaten up by your sister, right?"

"It's really hypocritical to say this, but even though you were warned by your sister, your behavior got worse and worse. You even planned to confess your feelings to that guy today. If I hadn't come out to stop you, you would have done everything with him."

"If your sister finds out about this, she'll grab you and give you a good beating. Rather than waiting until things get out of hand, I thought, why not be the first to take action?"

"I did it first, but didn't finish it. Then Sister Ling saw it and beat me up. If you do it again in the future, Sister Ling will definitely blame me and say that I led you astray. Then she will beat you less severely, right?"

At this point, a self-deprecating smile appeared on Nian's face. Regarding what Ling had said to Chen Qi before, he couldn't help but sigh:

"It's just that I didn't expect that your sister didn't care about those worldly things at all - hahaha, if your sister had explained it to us clearly at the time, I wouldn't have to be so worried."

...But were these all Nian's true words? Would she do such an outrageous thing to Chen Qi just to take the blame for Xi? Xi knew her sister well. Nian was very aggressive and very outgoing, but all of this was just a cover for her loneliness.

There is no doubt that Xi's behavior made Nian feel panicked, so much so that in desperation, she made such an "oath" in front of Xi and Ling. Although she might be severely punished afterwards, in her opinion, all this can at least confirm one thing, that is, her feelings for Chen Qi.

In the end, not only did nothing happen with Nian, but she made Chen Qi realize earlier than Xi that she had deep feelings for him. It was not just admiration as a confidant, but also a desire to stay with him forever.

After figuring this out, Xi was angry and annoyed, but she didn't know how to settle the score with Nian. Especially after Ling made her and Nian's feelings clear to Chen Qi, she didn't know how to face Chen Qi, so she simply turned on the autistic mode of defense again.

Xi was in seclusion for several months, while Chen Qi and others were busy filming "The Great Yan Dynasty 1566".

After receiving Hu Zongxian's advice, Gao Hanwen suddenly came to his senses and turned from a disciple recommended by Yan Shifan into a member who firmly resisted Yan's party. The two newly appointed county magistrates, Hai Rui and Wang Yongji, also stood with Gao Hanwen and firmly opposed Yan's party's conspiracy of "purchasing disaster victims' land at low prices."

The actions of the three undoubtedly angered Zheng Michang and He Maocai in Zhejiang City. But not long after, Zheng Michang, played by Liang Xun, analyzed one thing from the only information he had - "The court is in chaos."

"They were fighting with knives up there, but they were all slashing towards Zhejiang City!"

"Hu Zongxian had long seen that the court's decision to replace rice with mulberry in Zhejiang City was a losing move, so he resorted to the strategy of inflicting pain on himself, not hesitating to offend the cabinet ministers and junior cabinet ministers, just to escape!"

"Now, the court was fooled by him and dismissed him from his post as governor of Zhejiang. I took over the post and you were promoted to provincial governor. But you all acted like you were holding a treasure... And now, even if you want to turn back, you can't."

However, He Maocai, played by Ning Ci Qiu, did not seem to understand what these meant, and Zheng Michang, played by Liang Xun, saw that she still did not understand, so he directly said:

"Why don't you understand? The court is in deficit, and the burden is on the elders and junior elders. If they make up for the deficit, the elders and junior elders can still work for a few more years - if they can't make up for the deficit, the emperor will kick them out!"

"Now, Prince Yu and the people behind him are trying to prevent Zhejiang City from changing from rice to mulberry, in order to overthrow the cabinet elder and the junior cabinet elder."

"When the time comes... the first ones to suffer will not be others, but me and you."

The first to suffer from the failure of the rice-to-mulberry policy would certainly be the local government officials who implemented the policy. Hu Zongxian got away with it, and they happily took up the task. As a result, the policy was doomed to fail, and they simply became the ones who were sent to their deaths.

At this moment, a new question arises: why is the rice-to-mulberry conversion destined to fail? And if the rice-to-mulberry conversion cannot be implemented, why did Yan Shifan send Gao Hanwen to disrupt it?

Zheng Michang, played by Liang Xun, has seen this clearly. Gao Hanwen's purpose in coming here is to supervise them, to make them change from rice to mulberry, and not to let them do things like "buying up the land of disaster victims at a low price", so that they can save face and get away with it.

"We are asked to cut flesh to heal the wound, and a doctor is sent to watch. We are asked to make up for the deficit, and we have to save face - to put it bluntly, we are asked to bleed more."

"After buying the land and planting mulberry trees, the people still have to stop making trouble. And then they have to pay every penny of the money they earn. They want the horse to run, but they don't want it to eat grass."

"——Then let them build a memorial archway, and we'll just be their accomplices! At worst, we won't get a share of the money!"

He Maocai, played by Ning Ci Qiu, now understands. She also knows that the important thing now is to pass the test. At worst, she won't get a share of the money this time. As long as she works hard as a "good official", they will still have a chance to make money next time.

However, Zheng Michang, played by Liang Xun, sneered at her naive idea and said, "If I could be your cousin, I would accept it! But now I'm afraid I can't even be your cousin..."

"But if we don't share the money, then do those people in the palace and the court want to share the money?"

"Also, if we really follow Gao Hanwen and the other two county magistrates' approach, paying 30 or 50 shi per mu, Shen Yishi wouldn't be able to come up with that much money to buy land."

The problem now is that the original profit point for filling the deficit is to buy disaster-stricken farmland at a low price. Everyone is eyeing this point and wants to make a fortune, including Yan Song and others who are filling the treasury with money, all of which are intended to make use of this price difference.

If such a policy is implemented according to Gao Hanwen's method, then this national policy will definitely not make any money in the short term. However, the officials in the palace and the court all want to make a fortune from this national policy. The national treasury needs to be replenished, so they need immediate results!

The situation is that even if they don't take kickbacks from this, the kickbacks from the people in the court cannot be less. So where does this kickback come from? They have to bleed and pay money to make up for the deficit!

In implementing the national policy, one cannot earn a penny, and must pay back all the money he has embezzled. This is the method of "having both the inside and the outside".

More importantly, they didn't even have this way out, because Shen Yishi, the richest man in Zhejiang City, couldn't even buy so much land at the price of 30 dan per mu. They couldn't even convert rice to mulberry, let alone the business of 500,000 rolls of silk from the imperial court.

"When the investigation is carried out at that time, the damage to the dikes and flooding of the fields will also be exposed."

"In order to clear themselves, the young ministers and the textile bureau will push the blame onto you and me."

"Just wait, Lao He. The prison car has been prepared for you and me."

Zheng Michang, played by Liang Xun, accepted his fate. His explanation made everyone watching the show feel the invisible pressure on the two officials - in such a deadly situation, they could hardly even save their lives, let alone profit from it.

In desperation, He Maocai, played by Ning Ciqiu, finally lost his patience in order to save his life. Since they were going to die, they would die together. If the people in the court wanted to touch them, they would be prepared to be stained with a stain that could never be washed away.

It is said that people often burst out amazing abilities in order to survive. In this regard, He Maocai, played by Ning Ciqiu, is also like this. She thought of a risky move.

"——Colluding with the Deep Sea Church!"

"... Lao He, you are crazy. Colluding with the Deep Sea Church is a crime punishable by the extermination of your entire family!"

"Alas, it's not us who collude with the Deep Sea Church, it's them who collude."

He Maocai's idea is to use Qi Dazhu, played by Huai Tianpei last time, to make a fuss. In order to lower the price of land, the two of them had stipulated early on that the people in the disaster-stricken counties were not allowed to buy grain privately, but only the official grain from the government.

Qi Dazhu was quite prestigious in the disaster-stricken county, so they tried to get Qi Dazhu to buy food from the Deep Sea Church in the East Country so that the officers and soldiers of Dayan could catch them red-handed.

At that time, he will be charged with collusion with the Deep Sea Church and beheaded at 15:30. Hai Rui, played by Chen Huijie, must personally supervise the execution. When he orders the beheading, it will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back for the people in the disaster-stricken county, forcing them to rebel. Hai Rui, played by Chen Huijie, will not be unaware of the consequences.

In order not to force the people to rebel, Chen Huijie had to compromise. In order to avoid being charged with the crime of "sheltering traitors", she would have to implement their method of "purchasing the victims' land at low prices" and cover for them.

In the end, Zheng Michang, played by Liang Xun, also nodded with lingering fear after some thought, agreed to this sinister move, and carefully instructed:

"When colluding with the Deep Sea Church, we must do it cleanly and not leave any evidence behind."

In this regard, He Maocai, played by Ning Ciqiu, was very confident and said with a smile:

"I've been doing criminal justice for more than ten years, so you don't have to worry about this."

“…They forced me to do it.”

Finally, a line from Liang Xun finalized the plan, and this was the starting point for all the huge changes in Zhejiang City.

Volume 303: Chapter : Can Jiajing really become a god? The consequences of Jiajing taking elixirs

"How on earth do you come up with so many ideas? It feels like you witnessed a government fight. Everyone in it has a lot of ideas in their heads."

Now, the filming of "The Great Yan Dynasty 1566" has been going on for several months. As promised before, the videotapes of each episode have been sent to Ursus, Victoria, Syracuse and other countries. As for how much of the essence they can understand, it has nothing to do with Chen Qi.

As the plot develops, the plans of Zheng Michang and He Maocai progress step by step. They first teamed up with Shen Yishi, played by the Great Emperor, to set up a beauty trap for Gao Hanwen, played by Zuo Le, and took advantage of his character weakness of "literati love elegance but not money" and successfully made him fall into the trap.

"If it weren't for the role of Wang Yongji played by me, I would have let them succeed with that tearful speech of gratitude." Huang nodded at this moment, thinking back to the scenes filmed last month. Thinking about it now, it is still vivid in his mind.

However, Zheng and He's plot against Hai Rui did not stop. All their plans were going as they expected. But they miscalculated three points.

First, there is the stupidity of He Maocai, played by Ning Ciqiu. This official who claimed to have worked in criminal justice for more than ten years made a huge mistake when he framed Qi Dazhu - the people arrested by the officers and soldiers in the middle of the night were reported to Zhejiang City in the morning. It was more than 200 miles in one trip, and it was not that fast even if they drove a land boat.

Hai Rui seized on this mistake and determined that this was a wrongful case.

The second is Hai Rui played by Chen Huijie. Hai Rui is not just a wise and loyal minister in the simple sense, he is also very proficient in the laws of Dayan, and is even more proficient in finding loopholes in the words of the enemy.

Speak with the law and argue with reason. In Dayan, the law represents the court, the emperor, and the ancestral teachings, especially when Emperor Jiajing himself is an extremely proud monarch who "dare not be the first in the world" and has connections with everyone.

What's more, although Hai Rui was only a seventh-rank county magistrate, because he was recommended by Prince Yu's people and he really had a way to get his ideas heard by the emperor, it was even more difficult for anyone to argue with him.

Thanks to his familiarity with Dayan laws and his own strong abilities, Hai Rui, played by Chen Huijie, withstood round after round of conspiracies and intrigues, and ultimately saved Qi Dazhu and his group, and made the plans of Zheng and He fail.

The third and most important point is that they ignored the determination of Gao Hanwen, Hai Rui and Wang Yongji, who were determined to serve the people. And their actions had slowly pushed Shen Yishi, played by the emperor, to a dead end.

Shen Yishi gradually realized that it was impossible to implement the policy of replacing rice with mulberry, and since the imperial court could not plunder the people, it would inevitably plunder the merchants. As a person who participated in destroying the dikes and flooding the fields, he would inevitably be implicated and would go to hell with Zheng and He.

Shen Yishi had no way to retreat, so he made a decision - that is, to buy the disaster-stricken fields of the victims in the name of the Weaving Bureau.

"Isn't this a complete waste of time?" Chen Huijie took a break for a while. When she saw Shen Yishi's actions in the play, she couldn't help but frown and asked:

"The Weaving Bureau is an industry established by the imperial court and is considered a state-owned enterprise. How could Shen Yishi buy disaster-stricken farmland in the name of a state-owned enterprise? And he bought it at a depressed price?"

"Isn't this equivalent to telling the people of Zhejiang City that Emperor Jiajing wants to make a fortune from them? This is smearing the emperor. Is Shen Yishi going to die?"

"You will know this later." Chen Qi did not immediately tell Chen Huijie, Lin Yuxia and others what was going on. He said confidently:

"Don't worry, I won't make such a low-level mistake. I won't make the smart character in this drama confused for a moment. Shen Yishi, played by the emperor, still has a big role to play."

"But, we're not shooting this part right now - Uncle, I'll leave the rest to you!"

In front of the camera, Emperor Jiajing, played by Wei Yanwu, had already prepared his part. However, this part of the plot fully revealed Jiajing's absurdity.

All the disturbances in Zhejiang City have not affected Jiajing in the play at this moment. Emperor Jiajing is busy on his way to becoming a giant beast. After taking the elixir, accompanied by the rhythm of a group of musicians, he is feeling the wind and trying to fly like a giant beast.

In Chen Qi's original world, Jiajing's cultivation of Taoism was just a pipe dream. But now in Terra, with Wei Yanwu playing the role, Jiajing's dream of becoming a giant beast did not seem to be completely groundless.

Chen Qi despised Jiajing's practice of Taoism and taking elixirs. But now, in order to warn those people in Terra who might be thinking about taking elixirs after watching his TV series, he made a lot of preparations in this drama.

For example, when Jiajing is flying in the clouds at this moment, Wei Yanwu can use his lightness skills to briefly achieve a flying-like effect, as if the Emperor Jiajing in the play really felt the power of the wind.

Chen Qi's plan is to give those people with "ulterior motives" a little hope in the beginning, and in the end, when the Emperor Jiajing in the play overdoses on drugs and his health gets worse day by day, and finally dies tragically early (compared to Terra's fantasy lifespan), the harm of the elixir can be further highlighted.

At that time, when some people on the Terra continent protect the king, if they want to take drugs to become a giant beast or a powerful individual force, they can use Emperor Jiajing in "The Great Yan Dynasty" as a reference.

Emperor Jiajing mobilized the whole country to empty the treasury of Dayan, but he, as a fantasy species, did not succeed despite his tenacious vitality and died miserably. Is it possible for you to succeed?

But no matter what, the scene in which Wei Yanwu plays Jiajing as an immortal is undoubtedly very immortal. In the play, several servants who have been so excited for a long time couldn't help but mutter:

"This is God. There was no snow in the twelfth month last year, and there was no wind in the dog days this year. It means he is going to take us away."

"That is the body of our Lord, the immortal. In cold weather, he wears thin clothes with the doors and windows open; in hot weather, he wears cotton clothes with the doors and windows closed."

"The old ancestor also has a semi-immortal body. He is the only one who can accompany His Majesty to endure this."
