Seeing Cheng Jia, who had taken three days off, reappeared in the yamen, the superiors, colleagues and subordinates all came to visit for various reasons. Although there was a wall separating them, even though it was in a friend's yard, it was enough to attract people's attention.
Cheng Jia didn't care about those gazes, but just stared at an official document that had just been delivered on the table.
From Sichuan, Sichuan, and Shaanxi Roads all the way to the south of the Yangtze River, Dang ten coins are quietly depreciating. First, a merchant started to reduce the ratio of Dang ten coins. Gradually, this range became larger and larger. Now some local folks They are basically based on the price of one to eight. And it's not just ten coins, the ratio of banknotes in Jiangnan is also dropping. Although the rate is not large now, it's a signal! Half of the 30 million guan from the War Political Affairs Hall was paid with Yanyinchayin, and the other half was paid with pawn money and bank notes, and Yanyinchayin has been unable to be exchanged in kind due to over-issued, if When there is another problem with ten coins and bank notes, such a large amount will definitely cause a chain reaction.
Once panic is caused, it is no small matter!
Who is doing this kind of thing? As soon as this question was brought up, Cheng Jia naturally thought of who it was, but, her influence was all in the south of the Yangtze River, when could she already affect so many places? No, for the past two years, Han Bian has been operating in Shanxi Road and Chuanshu, and it is entirely possible that he will start to infiltrate there!
What does she want? Didn't she say she's not interested in this kind of thing? She has such a big world waiting outside, where the sea and the sky are free, why would she do such a dangerous thing
Because of Yang Zhao
As soon as Cheng Jia picked up the official documents, he rushed outside, rushed outside the yamen, directly pulled a horse, rode on it, and galloped towards Duke Dingguo's mansion.
In such a result, it is not only the Zhao family and those nobles who suffer, but the common people who suffer most directly!
Knowing that he was the one Ling Qingyu tacitly agreed to live in, Cheng Jia was not stopped, but rushed directly to the Guanguan Courtyard, and threw the official document directly on the table in front of Ling Qingyu.
"Have you ever wondered what will happen if you do this? The entire economy of Da Zhou collapsed and who will suffer the most? It's the ordinary people! They have no defense, if the little money they have saved is gone If it's for the water, there is no way for them to survive!" Cheng Jia had never yelled so angrily in front of Ling Qingyu, her fair face was flushed with anger, and her eyes that were always smiling were also full of anger.
"You want to take revenge and trouble the Zhao family. I'll help you! But how much damage will it do to the Zhao family? What will happen to the people if they can't survive!" Cheng Jia suddenly stopped his voice and looked at Ling Qingyu The calm face was unbelievable, and trembling slightly: "This is your purpose? To make them rebel? Are you going to destroy this big week?"
With a bang, Yan Qi's long sword came out of its sheath, and Ming Lu's thin and sharp blade touched Cheng Jia's neck.
"You're right," Ling Qingyu sat on the chair, glanced at the official documents with his fingers, and said, "I'm not only going to destroy the Zhao family, I'm going to destroy this Great Zhou Dynasty, this Chai family dynasty .”
Cheng Jia felt a severe pain in his heart, so he closed his eyes unconsciously, and when he opened them again, his eyes were filled with disappointment and pain like the endless desolation after the fire, and said: "It is true that Yang Zhao died unjustly, but how could you Do this kind of thing because of this? Destroy a dynasty, how do you want to destroy it? First destroy the economy and then use the force of Heishuiguan? Let alone whether the 100,000 people in Heishuiguan can defeat the 400,000 troops of the Zhao family, and Bianjing What about the 400,000 imperial troops? Not to mention that there are so many Xiang troops! No, you can’t destroy this dynasty, you will only make life miserable for the people, and the people who will die the most will be the people, and the country will be the one who will suffer the most damage!”
"So what?" Ling Qingyu signaled Yan Qi to put down his sword, poured a glass of water and put it in front of Cheng Jia, and said with a flat face: "Even if I don't do these catalysts, these things will always erupt. What the Zhengshitang did recently , Which one is not forcing the people to go to the dead end? Taxes are constantly increasing. The West City Office will return the land of innocent people and then ask the people to buy it back. It is questionable that if it is changed back to commercial trade now, the imperial court has too much money. How many tea farmers and tea merchants have lost all their money, and their families are ruined? Now the salt tax is also doing the same, and the salt tax is revised to increase the salt price. How many people will not be able to survive? I It's just that the time has been advanced a bit, but without the foundation of your Emperor's Political Affairs Hall, what effect would such a small thing I do have?"
"However, if you don't do it, we still have time to avoid it, and we can change it!"
"Don't lie to yourself," Ling Qingyu chuckled, and said, "How long have we known each other? How long have I told you about these crises? Can you change it? There is your dog emperor, those high-ranking officials who only know selfish desires for power and profit , Those royal children who only see rights but not obligations, can you change it? A dynasty that is rotten from the core, why do you change it?"
"You said that you didn't have such an idea..." Cheng Jia hissed, he couldn't refute, he knew the disadvantages were there, but he couldn't do anything about it.
"I didn't have this idea at first. I just wanted to build our own fleet overseas with Yang Zhao and our friends. We sailed all over the world, but," Ling Qingyu said with a sneer, "They didn't even We won't be given any means of survival. Since this is the case, I will let the fire be lightened a little bit. Only when everything is destroyed can a country be rebuilt, a place where people can live and work in peace and contentment. In this way, ordinary people will have a way of life. They Only the children and grandchildren of the country have a way to survive. Cheng Jia, you know this fact the best in your heart, right? Think clearly, whether you want the ruler or the people. If you want the ruler, then don’t try to serve the people and the country. The banner of the country has never belonged to one person, but to all the people. The history of the Chinese nation has been five thousand years. It has been invincible and has survived. If you really follow what you said, it is for the people, then you should know that the rebellion of the people has never been provoked by a certain person, but that the society and the system have made them Can’t survive, if the people of Dazhou want to rebel, it’s definitely not because I, Ling Qingyu, make them unable to survive, you know this better than anyone else.”
After a pause, Ling Qingyu picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of water, and said: "I promised people, after destroying the old one, I will build a country that is at least better than the current one, a country of freedom, self-respect and equality. For this, they will not hesitate to pay compensation. Take my own life. Cheng Jia, I want to destroy this Zhou Dynasty for revenge, and rebuild a country for my promise, no matter how difficult this road is, even if this road may accompany the lives of everyone around me, but Now that I have made my decision, I will not back down."
"Including your own life?" Cheng Jia asked hoarsely.
"Yes, including my own life." Ling Qingyu nodded, then smiled slightly.
"So you are using me to win over scholars and prepare for taking over the world?" Cheng Jia asked with bitterness in his voice.
"To tell you the truth, I really look down on you scholars. What do you do other than talk? You claim to be for the country and the people. What have you done for the country and the people? Well, you went to the street to fight for the rectification of Yang Zhao's name, but , What did you guys do before this war broke out? You are pedantic and inflexible, you don’t know anything and you still pretend to be noble, and you are the ones who misunderstood the country.” Ling Qingyu finished speaking contemptuously, and sighed, He said: "But there is no way, the current social structure is like this. If I want to build a country, I will naturally need to use scholars. Although I don't know how many are available, I will count as one if I find one."
Seeing Cheng Jia's pale face, Ling Qingyu patted his cheek lightly, and said with a smile: "Forget it, I knew you were too smart, I'm afraid I can't hide it from you. Don't come here again, I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore You know, the county magistrate took the yellow silk and said to Zhao, who was covered in blood and had just come off the battlefield, that Yang Zhao conspired against him, and the emperor ordered him to arrest him on the spot, but he refused to open the door to the pursuers. Do you know what I thought? I heard that the man was Jinshi, or Qingliu who you guys had a good relationship with. I also heard that you were the ones who encouraged Yang Zhao to fight, and you were the ones who only sent 30,000 soldiers... Cheng Jia, don't come again, I can't help but kill you..."
"Let me go, aren't you afraid that I'll report you?" Cheng Jia looked at her blankly and said. Seeing the coldness in her face and eyes, the bottom of her heart also began to freeze a little bit.
"You can try." Yan Qi's voice was as cold as a sword's edge on Cheng Jia's neck again.
Cheng Jia didn't know how he got out, but when the door closed behind, Yan Qi's voice coldly ordered not to let anyone in again, Cheng Jia only felt that the world in front of him was gray.
"Cheng Jia!" Wang Xuanzhi wandered around the door twice but didn't come in. When he was about to go back, he saw the door opened, and Cheng Jia who came out staggered and spurted a mouthful of blood, and fell down. With a cry of surprise, he rushed forward and hugged him up from the ground. Just as he was about to call someone from Dingguo's mansion to open the door, Cheng Jia gently grabbed his hand.
"Take me... back to Cheng Mansion..." After saying this, Cheng Jia passed out directly.
"Is it okay to let him go?" Yan Qi hurried back to Guan Guan Yuan and asked Ling Qingyu. This person is too smart, he can deduce so many things from such a simple official document, if he can't be used by her, he must be his biggest enemy.
"He won't tell the truth." Ling Qingyu flipped through the official documents and said calmly. Although he hates those Qingliu, it is undeniable that Cheng Jia is a really good person, honest and trustworthy, even if he knew her plan, he would not do such things as informers, he accepted her love, and would not do such a dangerous thing. The matter of her being beheaded, but he will stop it...
Rubbing his forehead, Ling Qingyu felt a little headache. If Cheng Jia was injured and asked to stop him, it would be a little troublesome.
"If he is really causing trouble, then kill him..." Ling Qingyu sighed and said, "By the way, we have already turned against each other anyway, so send a letter to Mr. Zhu asking him to find another way, this scholar from Bianjing , we can’t figure it out. Those yards and whatnot, leave us to play by ourselves.”
Seeing Cheng Jia, who had taken three days off, reappeared in the yamen, the superiors, colleagues and subordinates all came to visit for various reasons. Although there was a wall separating them, even though it was in a friend's yard, it was enough to attract people's attention.
