Chapter 28 Large Recruitment Site
Liu Zheng was shocked, and he was so shocked that he couldn't even prevent himself. He had been observing Shen Xing and knew that he was a capable man and a talent for governing the world, but he didn't expect that this kid had such a vicious vision.
"W-what?"
Zheng Yueru, however, didn't understand.
Liu Zheng laughed loudly and said excitedly: "Shen Xing, just tell us!"
Although Shen Xing was still a little restrained, he saw that Liu Zheng was not angry and seemed to agree with his point of view, so he naturally relaxed, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "The situation in Yinzhou is exhausted by the Wang family!"
"However, even though the poison is severe, it is not advisable to have your arm cut off!"
Liu Zheng's expression changed and he nodded.
Shen Xing laughed and said, "Sir, you can choose one strong family and three weak ones!"
"The best way is naturally the land!"
"My lord, you have established new laws to destroy the noble families for generations. That is enough!"
Ha ha ha ha!
Liu Zheng was so excited that he wanted to hug Shen Xing and give him a few kisses. Because this person was just what he wanted! His sharp vision, great vision, and accurate strategy were simply incomparable to ordinary people.
"Brother Liu, this, this..."
Zheng Yueru was completely confused and had no idea what the two were discussing.
Liu Zheng then began to explain it in simple terms.
The matter is very simple. Liu Zheng had actually thought of this method a long time ago! That is to change the land inheritance law! This is why he is so excited now.
He came from later generations.
Naturally, we know how important this "Natural Inheritance Law" has been in history. The land inheritance law currently in use by the Longyan Dynasty belongs to the "Primogeniture Law", which means that no matter whether it is a prominent family or a commoner, the eldest son of each family will inherit the family's land.
This is beneficial for prominent families, as it can ensure that the land interests of their family will not be split, and may even grow larger and larger, and in the end, may even affect the ruling position of the lord.
However, the law of natural inheritance is different.
The natural inheritance law means that no matter how many people there are in your family, whether this person is promising or useless, and even whether he is a man or a woman, he can get some of the family property without a specific will. In this way, no matter how much land these prominent families have, after several generations of fission, the power of these prominent families will naturally be dispersed and there is nothing to be afraid of.
It can be said……
This is simply a strategy of killing with a soft knife!
Therefore, Liu Zheng fell in love with Shen Xing more and more! Born in a poor family, he understood the suffering of the people and sneered at the hypocrisy of ordinary literati. He was a great talent!
"Brother Liu, this, this, this..."
Zheng Yueru trembled all over after hearing this, she couldn't believe it: "Can a woman really inherit a family fortune?"
Liu Zheng laughed: "What do you think?"
This is another clever point of Shen Xing. He saw the healthy cooperative relationship between Liu Zheng and Zheng Yueru, so he simply made a ruthless move, a decree so ruthless that Zheng Yueru could not refuse!
With the support of the Zheng family, what do the other three families have to fear?
"Shen Xing, are you willing to come to my county mansion and serve as the chief secretary?"
Liu Zheng looked at Shen Xing and asked with a smile.
When Shen Xing heard this, tears welled up in his eyes and he knelt on the ground: "I really want this, but I dare not ask for it! The young master has given me a new life, and Shen Xing will never forget it!"
Liu Zheng quickly helped him up, and the two of them walked out of Fengming Tower together.
The government office was to be established in three days, and Liu Zheng needed Shen Xing's help in many areas.
…
Zheng Yueru sat alone on the Wangshu Terrace in Fengming Tower, unable to recover for a long time.
Natural succession law?
This is so shocking.
Who dares to do this in this era? Since ancient times, women have not had a high status in Chinese civilization. The husband is the head of the wife, and most of the time, women are even treated as commodities for trading, even in wealthy families.
but now……
She actually has a chance to inherit the Zheng family?
She must seize this opportunity!
Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth, rode back to the Zheng family, and came to her grandfather's bedroom.
…
Three days later, it will be an auspicious day to open the government.
On this day, Yinzhou was very lively. The reconstruction of the County Marquis' Mansion was a big deal after decades. Under the careful management of the Liu family father and son, the farmers who were originally indifferent were talking about it. Even many farmers heard that those prominent families wanted to embarrass the County Marquis' Mansion today, so they came to the door of the County Marquis' Mansion with hoes and farm tools, vowing to protect the Liu family father and son.
This moved Liu Zheng deeply, and he also didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The people's hearts are so simple and honest.
"Don't panic, everyone. Today the county magistrate's office is open to the public. It is in accordance with the will of heaven and the people. I don't think anyone will come to cause trouble openly!"
However, as soon as these words fell.
The clanging sounds rang out on Yinzhou Street.
Just like the situation in the previous few days, the elite soldiers of the Chen family were full of murderous intent. Today they were directly equipped with sophisticated war horses and weapons. They had ferocious looks in their eyes, and wherever they passed , there was chaos.
At this time, the scholars who came to participate in today's election were queuing up in the county mansion. This made the group of people fall to the ground, but when they saw that they were the elite soldiers of the Chen family, they dared not say anything.
“Hahahaha, it’s so lively!”
Chen Kui, with a gloomy face, walked out of the carriage, laughing arrogantly. He was followed by several burly followers. It was obvious that he had considerable fighting ability.
Liu Dahao laughed and said, "Mr. Chen, please come in!"
Chen Kui smiled coldly: "Sir, there won't be any soldiers from your palace lying in ambush inside, waiting to catch all of us old men in one fell swoop?"
Everyone laughed.
The elite soldiers behind Chen Kui were banging their weapons, making an alarming sound, as if they were going to rush in and turn the county mansion into a river of blood if Liu Dahao didn't deal with them.
Liu Dahao suppressed his anger and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen is right. Today is a great day for the opening of the mansion. It is not appropriate to use weapons. You all wait outside. The servants will prepare tea later!"
The elite soldiers sneered and laughed at the spinelessness of the county lord.
Chen Kui also snorted coldly. He didn't want to lose face at this time. He glared at Liu Zheng next to him and then walked in with a swagger.
Next, the Wang family arrived in the same formation.
The Cao family did not bring many soldiers with them, only five hundred. It seemed that they knew that today's opening day would not be peaceful, so they only wanted to protect themselves.
Zheng Yueru from the Zheng family unexpectedly changed into a girl's outfit today. A red dress made her heroic figure on horseback stand out even more.
Everyone couldn't help but look over.
Zheng Yueru, dressed in her girl's clothes, was such a beauty, with delicate features, eyebrows like distant mountains, and eyes like autumn water. With a little makeup, she was even prettier than Shen Manqing from Fengming Tower. Even Liu Zheng couldn't help but look at her.
Of course, this is not the most important thing.
The important thing is that today, Zheng Yueru actually brought all the elite soldiers of the Zheng family! The elite soldiers of the Queen's family are not weaker than those of the Chen family. Their weapons and equipment alone are much better than those of the Chen family.
As soon as the Zheng family's elite troops arrived, they immediately took over the guarding of the county mansion.
Many people present changed their expressions.
Especially the elite generals of the Chen family, who snorted coldly.
Is Zheng Yueru going to stand on the side of the county lord's mansion and never look back?
Cartilage!
Fence-sitter!
Many people secretly complained in their hearts.
However, the Zheng family was powerful and was openly torn apart at this time, so the atmosphere on the scene became tense again.
There are many procedures for setting up a county government.
First, the appointment of Liangzhou Prefecture was read out, and then sacrifices were offered to heaven to welcome Liu Dahao, who had bathed and changed his clothes, to take the throne. In this way, Liu Dahao was considered the real and legal county marquis.
Although the four prominent families have their own ulterior motives, they still have to hypocritically send their congratulations during this process.
There are so many complicated details before we come to the part where we have to choose our candidates on site.
"Everyone, the county government has just been established, and the industry is in decline and there is a lack of people! I have a heart of compassion for the people, and I hope there will be wise people to help me!"
"Today, I am here to publicly apply for the election. I hope all my colleagues will show their abilities and serve our Yinzhou!"
"That's right!"
"Great kindness!"
Everyone stood up and responded in unison.
Someone suddenly asked loudly, "Sir, is it true that this time, there is no distinction between officials and commoners, or between the noble and the humble?"
Several masters from prominent families sneered. They were of high status and were also sitting on the stage. The scholars who came to take part in the selection were all below.
There were five or six hundred people sitting on the seats that the county magistrate had prepared long ago. Such a scene was rare in this era, which made the onlookers point and comment.
Liu Dahao laughed loudly: "That's right!"
When the county magistrate confirmed it, the whole audience burst into an uproar.
This is a magnificent sight that is not easy to see even in such a long life!
At this time, a young man in brocade clothes also stood up and snorted, "Sir, County Marquis, that means peasants can also be elected?"
Everyone laughed.
Unexpectedly, Liu Dahao nodded seriously: "That's right."
"this……"
"absurd!"
"How can this be possible?"
The whole audience was in an uproar.
Normally, they even looked down on those poor students, let alone these farmers? Since ancient times, the class distinction between scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans has been very strict. This difference in level means a different status.
Since ancient times, scholars have been ashamed to associate with these peasants!
"That's right!"
Liu Dahao only said this one sentence, smiling , and didn't bother to pay attention to their uproar.
"My Lord, how do you judge this?"
The scholar in brocade clothes continued to ask.
"I'll be the judge!"
Liu Dahao said coldly.
The man in brocade clothes changed his expression again, and he shouted a few times, looking at Liu Dahao provocatively, with a strong sarcasm flashing in his eyes: "But sir, I feel that I am proficient in everything, including music, chess, calligraphy, painting, the Four Books and Five Classics, and strategies for governing the world, but what about you, sir?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience burst into laughter.
The man in brocade clothes was called Tang Shiwei, a famous talent in Yinzhou. He was already an official and also worked for the Chen family. He stood out this time just to provoke the county marquis's mansion and destroy its prestige in public. He was very confident about this and looked at this side very proudly.
“How to consider it?”
"Please ask the County Lord to give the questions!"
He livened up the atmosphere at the scene, and all the scholars started to make a noise.
