Jiangmen Tianjiao: Reborn with funny ancestors

As the weather cleared and the water level of the river continued to drop, Nie Feng said that this time, except for the Puyang flood discharge, the levees in other places were saved.

This is completely different from what Chu Tianjiao knew about his previous life.

In the previous life, Yuzhou and Jizhou downstream suffered from rivers bursting their banks, causing raging floods, and tens of thousands of people drowned in the floods.

This time, except for a few river workers who were accidentally swept into the river by the waves, no people died in the flood even in Puyang where the flood was released.

In the Puyang section, the river changed its course and the original river bed was exposed.

Nie Feng said that with the current high temperatures and scorching sunshine, the original river beds and some washed-out fields would be evaporated dry in a few days.

In these places, Chu Tianjiao ordered officials to re-measure the land and distribute the fields to the people of Puyang according to the calculated number of households.

As a result, the land that the people could be allocated was far more than their original land.

The people were beaming with joy, but one person was furious.

Cui Mao rushed to the makeshift Puyang County government office, grabbed Du Ningzhou's lapel and roared: "Where is my land? All the land they divided is my land!"

Zi Chen, who was sent by Chu Tianjiao to support Du Ningzhou, stood next to Cui Mao, feeling cold all over his body. Cui Mao glanced at the sword at Zi Chen's waist and let go of Du Ningzhou's shirt.

Only then did Du Ningzhou catch his breath, smiled gratefully at Zichen, and then said to Cui Mao: "Master Cui, many of your lands are within the coverage of the new river. This is a natural disaster, and you can't count on the court to supply it." You?"

Cui Mao was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, pointing at the victims who were watching the excitement and asked: "Then their land was occupied by the new river channel, why can it be replenished?"

Du Ningzhou explained: "Mr. Chu said, that's because Mr. Cui, you don't lack those acres of land, but they can't survive without those acres of land.

If Mr. Cui has any objections, why not go to Mr. Chu and talk to him? "

Cui Maocai did not dare to go to Chu Tianjiao.

He had heard that Chu Tianjiao was fighting in the ring with Sun Jinyan, and he was afraid of being accidentally injured.

In this matter, it is better to wait until Sun Jinyan wins and ask Sun Jinyan to give the land back to him.

Unfortunately, Cui Mao didn't know that Sun Jinyan, whom the Cui family supported in Yuzhou, was about to die.

In the imperial study room in the capital, because Marquis Liyang proposed to collect taxes from Shuzhou, the emperor initially disagreed. Later, he learned that the taxes from Shuzhou had been collected by the end of the year, and came up with a vicious plan to push Chu Tianjiao out to increase taxes.

Lu Yunkui seemed to have satisfied Marquis Liyang's request, and made a final decision: "Okay, I will merge Shuzhou into the Northwest Road, and Chu Tianjiao will also serve as the governor of the four states."

While waiting for the emperor to make a decision, Li Yanghou was still kneeling on the ground, but his buttocks had fallen on his legs.

His head was drooped, as if he was depressed, but in fact he had been picking at the gold foil painted on the floor tiles.

"Hmph, it turns out that my daughter is right, there is nothing good about the Lu family. Our Chu family has been loyal to the country for hundreds of years. This loyalty has really gone to waste!

You yourself live in a palace inlaid with gold and jade, and eat delicacies on jade plates, burning silver charcoal when hot, and piles of icebergs when cold.

I, the Chu family, eat the wind and drink the dew, guard the border, fight against the enemy in the mountains and seas of swords and fire.

In the end, you Lu family never forget to plot against us.

I didn't think so much before. I always adhered to my family's motto and never supported my own troops and took advantage of the situation to gain power. As a result, I was hampered by you in every way and almost wiped out all my family wealth.

Now, I won’t serve you anymore!

In this country, whether your Lu family can sit firmly or not, my Chu family will have the final say in the future! "

Marquis Liyang had long been heartbroken by the emperor, and he was also disappointed with the current corruption of the government in Liguo.

Military generals don't like to play tricks and would rather go straight.

But Chu Tianjiao told Marquis Liyang that the current Lu family does not have the ability and courage to eradicate the long-standing shortcomings in Liguo's government affairs. If this continues, Liguo will perish.

If they don't want to subjugate the country, the Chu family has no choice but to fight for more and greater rights to speak. The Chu family will protect the land and country that the Lu family cannot protect.

The emperor and Marquis Liyang had their own concerns. Under the mediation of Prime Minister Wang, Marquis Liyang reluctantly got up to thank him because he wanted to get enough benefits.

Seeing the deflated appearance of Marquis Liyang, the emperor felt relieved.

Lu Yunkui glanced at the prince, Lu Yuanqing, who was standing aside.

Seeing Lu Yuanqing's completely confused look, he decided to wait until Marquis Li Yang and Prime Minister Wang had left before explaining to his son the twists and turns involved.

You must let your son understand that sometimes, giving your ministers some false fame is like hanging an apple in front of a donkey, making them keep running but unable to eat.

The imperial power is supreme, and the emperor can give or take back these nominal official positions at any time, so you must be good at using them.

The emperor was afraid that something might change if it was too late, so he issued the decree directly without bringing the matter to the court for discussion.

Anyway, the two military and political leaders, Prime Minister Wang and Li Yanghou, agreed, so the matter was settled.

When he walked out of the palace, Marquis Liyang spat at Prime Minister Wang with a black face: "Old Wang, you are not kind! My daughter is also considered your junior. If you treat her like a donkey, doesn't your conscience hurt?"

Prime Minister Wang coaxed, "How dare I? I really appreciate the abilities of your eldest girl. If all the officials in Li Guo are like your daughter, I, the Prime Minister, can rest easy!"

After returning to Liyanghou Mansion, Chu Ge went to Mrs. Chu's upper chamber.

Brothers Chu Ye and Chu Sheng were also there, and Marquis Liyang explained the emperor's decision just now.

“Hahaha, the emperor and Lao Wang thought they were trying to trick our Chu family.

It’s considered a trap!

But even if they don't give us food, if the Xirong people come, we still have to fight.

Since they couldn't collect taxes from those five states, they gave them to us to use as supplies for the Northwest Army.

They don't know that just because they can't collect it doesn't mean that my daughter can't collect it. "

Mrs. Chu nodded slightly and told Nanny Li next to her, "There is no need to cook the charcoal-roasted pig brains today!"

Marquis Liyang's expression was chapped and he asked in disbelief: "Mom, have you prepared pig brains again today?"

Mrs. Chu spat: "What happened to the pig brains? If I hadn't been forcing you to eat pig brains, how could you be so active in the palace today?"

If in the past, you had to give advice to the emperor again, would his actions have chilled the hearts of the soldiers?

If you say that, will the emperor listen to you?

You see, asking you to eat more pig brains is still useful. "

The three brothers of the Chu family looked up at the sky, their faces full of despair.

Their mother's obsession with pig brains is really unbearable!

"Mom, actually it has nothing to do with pig brain. My son has changed his mind.

In the past, our Chu family only wanted to be loyal ministers and good generals. Later, Jiaoer explained the facts to me and made me understand that blind loyalty is useless.

If the emperor is not wise, it is better to compete with him in a battle of wits and courage than to be loyal to him.

As long as our Chu family's original intention of protecting the common people remains unchanged, why not be a traitor? "

Mrs. Chu was wearing a peacock blue embroidered gown today, with a simple gold and jade auspicious cloud hairpin on her head. Her face was rosy. She was half leaning on the couch. After listening to Marquis Li Yang's words, she sat up straight. He waved his hand and asked Chu Sheng to go out and wave away all the maids and women in the corridor.

When Chu Sheng came back, Mrs. Chu said: "Elder, you are right, I often think of Jiaoer's dream.

We, the Chu family, must not watch the situation develop to the point where the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed.

Mom doesn’t approve of you exercising power, but from now on, you must learn to exercise power.

Only if you bear the pressure in the court can Jiaoer let go of his plans. "

Marquis Liyang nodded in agreement.
