Chapter 737: The Qin Family in Binzhou
The Qin family did not come, and other second- and third-rate families of all sizes were not in Rou Niang's eyes. They made these people not say anything extra except for fear, sweating and bowing down, but these people's female fu obviously could not achieve Rou Niang's goal. So, she decided to go to the Qin Mansion in person. Isn't the head of the Qin family sick? Okay, my prince and concubine came to the mansion to visit him in person, and he thought he had given enough face?
Wan Changfeng had a skin and turned into bitter gourd. Although he was the governor of Binzhou, in Binzhou, he had to look at the face of the head of the Qin family. He knew the domineering of the Qin family. But now, there was obviously a more domineering empress. He was determined to be so angry that he was really Zhu Bajie looked in the mirror, and he was not a human inside or outside. If Qin Rouna could not deal with the Qin family, he would definitely have to look for his own anger. If the Qin family was defeated in front of the empress, and the empress patted her butt and left with satisfaction, he would have to be the official in Binzhou. What would be strange if the Qin family didn't cause trouble for him?
"Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind!" Qin Rouniang looked at Wan Changfeng: "Mr. Wan, remember, you only have one master, that is the Fourth Master, not the Qin family. As long as you stick to this point, the biggest wave of the palace can block you."
"Thank you, Empress, I will remember the teachings of the Empress!" Wan Changfeng finally made up his mind. Yes, the Fourth Master is about to ascend the throne. The Empress in front of him is a high and powerful position. A royal concubine will not be able to escape in the future. In addition, she gave birth to the eldest son for the Fourth Master. Maybe she can go further in the future and curry favor with the current one. It is a foregone conclusion that the Wan family has lived in wealth for several lifetimes. She is not sure to pay attention to it. This is the most taboo thing for the superiors. Don't end up emptying both sides. Put Qin Rounniang's thick thighs and don't hug it. Should I hug the thinner leg of the Qin family?
"Empress, this food crisis was actually the idea of the Chief Assistant Cao. He contacted the wealthy families in Jiangnan and other influential families in other places. The purpose was to let the Fourth Master understand that if they did not have their support, the Fourth Master would not be able to do anything." Since he had decided to sell himself and defected, Wan Changfeng simply washed himself clean.
Qin Rouniang frowned slightly. "Is the influence of Shoujiao Cao so great that it can influence the families in the world?"
"Of course not, but the Empress should understand that although there are conflicts between aristocratic families, some aristocratic families are even mortal enemies, they have one goal that is to occupy the highest area of Dayue, which is where the Shougong Cao can persuade them."
"Why did Cao Yi do this? The Dayue family has reached the top of power and wealth in the world. Could it be that they also want to rebel?"
"The Empress was joking. The rebellion of these aristocratic families was absolutely unwilling to do it, but the Chief Cao said. The Fourth Master had already revealed a series of policy strategies such as rectifying the administration of officials, liquidating the land, and reforming the tax system. All of these touched the vital interests of these major families, and of course they had to fight back."
Qin Rouniang shook her head and sighed, "Cao Yi was wise for a while, but he was confused for a while. As the chief assistant of Dayue, he would not know the disadvantages of Dayue. If this continues, the whole Dayue will eventually fall apart. But for the benefit of the aristocratic family, he actually ignored it, and it was not my Dayue's good assistant."
"Empress wise!"
After thinking for a while, Qin Rouniang suddenly asked, "Mr. Wan, Cao Yi and you all the clans think of the governor of Yun Zhaoyun in the North?"
Wan Changfeng said: "Empress, in private, the Jiangnan family has also discussed the Governor Yun. To be honest, the Governor Yun is now in a large number of soldiers and generals, and the momentum is in full swing. Moreover, the Governor Yun is obviously unscrupulous. Many top families in Dayue also discussed the possibility of supporting Yun Zhao, but with the development of the situation at any time and Yun Zhao's governance strategy in the north, they had to give up and list Yun Zhao as the target that must be eliminated."
"Oh? There's something like this?"
Wan Changfeng smiled bitterly and said, "Where the army of Yunzhuan passed, the wealthy families were destroyed, the top families disappeared, and a large number of small landlords and small nobles emerged. In the north, there was a widely circulated saying, "fight the local tyrants and divide the land. The land owned by the aristocratic families have now become the property of those mud legs and big head soldiers in the north. Tell me, how could the Dayue families not regret it and be wary? If Yun Zhao's army arrived in the Central Plains, their fate could be imagined. Therefore, the Central Plains families united in defeating Yun Zhao. This is also the reason why the Fourth Master could tell Cheng Qun to cross the north. Most of the Cheng Qun's army and senior generals came from wealthy families. If it were not for the fuel from these aristocratic families, how could the Fourth Master easily tell Cheng Qun?"
"So that's it!" Qin Rouniang nodded.
"Empress, so at present, we can only pull and not push the aristocratic families. They can also prosper and destroy the country!"
Qin Rouniang took a long breath, "I understand. At present, we can only treat conservatively, not radically, and we cannot think of eradicating the Dayue cancer in one step. We can only take slow action. Maybe one or two generations to revive Dayue again. The Fourth Master is indeed walking too fast. Let's go and see the seriously ill head of the Qin family, Qin Pengcheng."
The Qin family, the first big family in Binzhou, did not live in Binzhou City, but was at Shutian Dam more than 50 miles away from Binzhou City. A large group of people left Binzhou City and walked along the road made of three-mix soil to Shutian Dam Qinjiazhuang. It was the spring sowing season, and a large number of people in the fields were plowing. Men supported pears and shouted that old cows would pine the fields. There were basically paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River. Above the ridges, women were dividing piles of seedlings.
"These lands are all from the Qin family, and these people are also tenants of the Qin family." Wan Changfeng whispered to Qin Rouni by the carriage.
"It's not just these?" Qin Rouniang said.
"Yes, in fact, nearly one-third of the fertile land in Binzhou is in the hands of the Qin family and their subordinates. What is left is the other people's division. Queen Mother, if the Qin family interferes, it will be difficult for the subordinates to raise enough food."
"Don't complain, I know!" Qin Rouniang put down the curtains, "I want to take a nap. When I get to the ground, you can call me again!"
Closed her eyes slightly, but Qin Rouniang could not sleep. Wan Changfeng's words still echoed in her ears. Before, she had never thought that Yun Zhao would rebel one day, and would want to fight across the river. Is it because she was angry that she had become the concubine of the Fourth Master, and because she was angry that she had written the book and abandoned him? Qin Rouniang's heart was mixed, not knowing whether it was joy, sorrow, sorrow, or suffering? She just felt like a big rock was pressing down in her heart, so heavy that it was hard to breathe.
"Brother Yun, don't come across the river. You will be entangled in this big net in the Central Plains until you are exhausted!" Over the years, Qin Rouniang has seen the power of the aristocratic families, especially when the aristocratic families are united and want to destroy something, they have never been in trouble.
The Central Plains are different from the northern part. What you can do there will definitely not work in the Central Plains! I silently said in my heart that if Yun Zhao really stepped across the river and wanted to conquer the world, what awaited him would be the fate of his death. Even several emperors of Dayue had to bow their heads in front of the power of these aristocratic families, what's up to you?
Maybe I should think of a way to communicate with Brother Yun well. Now that things have come to this point, no matter what, I will face Brother Yun and give him an explanation.
The carriage shook slightly, awakening Qin Rouniang from her thoughts, "Empress, we are here!" Wan Changfeng whispered outside the car window.
After lifting the curtain of the car, Rou Niang stood out from the carriage, stood on the shaft, and looked at the majestic Qinjiazhuang nearby, and couldn't help but be amazed. What kind of farm is there? This is a city with complete facilities. The city actually contains a mountain that sits hundreds of meters long, lush and lush, and the outline of the house can be seen in the forest.
At the city gate, the Qin family was crowded with about a hundred people, and the Portuguese was lying on the ground, greeting Qin Rounniang's arrival.
His eyes swept over the Qin family members kneeling in front of him. Without seeing Qin Pengcheng, Qin Rouniang's face turned cold.
"Welcome to the Empress!" The middle-aged man with a long beard about forty years said loudly: "Qin Zong leads the Qin Mansion to welcome the Empress to the Qin Family Village!"
Qin Zong, Qin Pengcheng's eldest son, galloped across the board, and the four tigers of the Qin family.
"Brother Qin Shi, why didn't the old owner Qin come?" Wan Changfeng walked forward and asked loudly.
"Sir, my father is seriously ill and lingering in bed. It's really hard to come to greet him before. I'd like to ask the Empress to forgive me!" Qin Zong said.
"Forget it, since the old owner of Qin is seriously ill, there is no need to be demanding. Qin Zong, please take me to see the old owner of Qin!" Qin Rouniang said softly.
Qin Zong looked embarrassed, "The Empress is a body of a thousand gold. My father is so in this way now. When the Empress sees her, Qin Zong thanks her for the eldest son of the Qin family."
Qin Rounniang snorted, "Old Master Qin did his best for the court, and he was so tired. Now that I am here, why don't I come to the sickbed to express my condolences? Lead the way!" After saying this, he turned around and entered the carriage, ignoring Qin Zong again.
"Brother Qin Shi, don't say much. The Empress's temperament has always been the same!" Wan Changfeng walked to Qin Zong and whispered.
Qin Zong had no choice but to get up, "Yes, the grass people lead the way for the empress!" He slapped his lips, and a man had already run towards the village like flying, and then the sound of horse hooves sounded inside.
From the city gate to Qin Pengcheng's residence, it's not a few miles away, but it's still far away!
With the sound of horse hooves, Qin Zong's voice finally sounded outside the car. Qin Rouniang made an appointment and estimated that from entering the city gate, it was a dozen miles away. What a Qin family, who is really rich enough to rival a country, even the Forbidden City in the capital is only at this scale!
