I was reborn and married a villain, and I won by lying down

Chapter 259 I feel like I bet on the wrong thing

"Our family remembers that the Song family occupied a lot of land a few years ago without telling the court."

Zhang Jinnian had an idea and suddenly thought of this matter.

Liu Ke thought and nodded: "That's true, but His Majesty has issued a decree not to investigate previous mistakes, so that everyone can take this as a warning and not do it again."

Zhang Jinnian smiled bitterly: "Indeed, that period was the darkest moment of our Dayue Dynasty, and the trend of land annexation was very serious. Your Majesty had to rely on these powerful families when he first came to power, so naturally he could only choose to settle the matter."

After thinking about it, he covered his mouth with a sinister smile: "But I'm afraid that someone will ignore the emperor's favor and commit a crime."

Liu Ke raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that the chief eunuch thinks that the Song family is still annexing land and occupying people's fields?"

"Why does the Song family dare to compete with the Lu family to be the leader in the weaving industry? It's precisely because the Song family started by growing mulberry, raising silkworms and weaving silk. There are thousands of fertile fields. If so many fields were not acquired by encirclement, , what do you rely on?"

Zhang Jinnian said: "Our family heard Li Shuang mention it many years ago. The Song family and the major imperial merchants also squeezed and annexed a lot of military land, which led to the disorganization of the military and the sharp reduction of health posts. The changes in Quzhou are inseparable from this. , it was caused by the collusion between border troops and refugees."

Liu Ke immediately understood Zhang Jinnian's thinking and said happily: "Could it be that the eunuch wants to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, and help Changchun Hou by thoroughly investigating the land annexation?"

"Our family is not that capable. If we want to conduct a large-scale investigation of land annexation at this time, it will not only violate the holy will, but also cause huge panic across the country."

Zhang Jinnian smiled bitterly and shook his head.

This matter is a huge challenge, but it is also a good thing that benefits the country and the people. If it can be solved properly, it will naturally win people's hearts.

This feat of leaving a mark in history is best left to His Highness.

As long as he can handle the land annexation issue in the future, his foundation in the Dayue Dynasty will be stable.

"Land annexation has happened in all dynasties. Our family has not thoroughly investigated it, but it is not a problem for our family to find some thorns."

Zhang Jinnian looked at Liu Ke with a half-smile but not a smile: "Then Song Chuyuan dared to be so arrogant and domineering, isn't it because he expected that our family would not dare to come forward, and he supported the Crescent Party and felt that he had a chance to win, so our family will put this problem aside. To the Crescent Party.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately ordered: "Go and ask Li Shuang to find something for the generals to do."

In this battle in Quzhou, countless troops were lost, and the court could not provide any money, so it could only rely on the Lu family's compensation to appease the morale of the troops. It was so easy to provoke a mutiny at this time, and then it would not be a problem to pursue land annexation again.

Seeing Liu Ke about to leave, Zhang Jinnian suddenly stopped him again: "Wait a minute, it's been a while since Li Shuang's only daughter was sent to Marquis Yuanyuan. Why haven't you heard any news about her recently?"

"Looks like he's sick."

Liu Ke was also a little unsure and said: "It was fine when I first entered the mansion. It is said that it was because I was jealous of the two aunts who were sent to Yuanyuanhou by the eunuch. The situation at that time was really terrible. Both aunts Junhe and Xulan died. In the Changyuan Marquis's chamber, Junhe's heart was ripped out, and Miss Bu Yao was frightened out of her wits."

"Jealousy?"

Zhang Jinnian always found it incredible that Junhe and Xulan were both carefully selected by him. Knowing Li Buyao's identity, even if he was extremely capable, he would not dare to be jealous of the daughter of the commander-in-chief.

"Are you sure this matter was not instigated by Mrs. Lu Shen of Changyuan Hou Na?"

Zhang Jinnian asked suspiciously.

"This small thing makes me believe that Mrs. Changyuan Hou is innocent."

Liu Ke said: "Mrs. Changyuan Hou was not at the house that day, and I heard that the young lady rarely interfered with the affairs of the house before. She was either busy gambling in the gambling house or sleeping in the house. For this reason, there were a few people. A aunt’s quarrel.”

"I see."

The more Zhang Jinnian listened, the more headache he got. He didn't know what kind of woman His Highness was married to at home, and he was not doing his job all day long.

"Go ahead and ask someone to take good care of Miss Buyao. Don't let Li Shuang feel cold. Right now, the safety of Chang Yuanhou must be pointed at him."

<divclass="contentadv">Zhang Jinnian ordered solemnly.

"Yes."

Liu Ke naturally knew the importance of Li Shuang, and also knew the status of Li Buyao in Li Shuang's heart, so he did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

……

Just when Song Chuyuan was busy preparing to eat a batch of silk newly purchased by the Chen family, a major event happened in Tanzhou City that shocked the whole city.

A mutiny broke out in the Tanzhou military camp and almost led to a major rebellion. Fortunately, the commander of the Tanzhou military capital calmed down the dispute in time.

It's just that all the problems that have accumulated over time in the military have been exposed.

The soldiers sacrificed their lives and blood for the country. Not only did they not receive the rewards they deserved from the court after their deaths, but even their family fields were taken over by wealthy families. Who could not feel angry?

Moreover, many military cultivated fields were divided up by large families and the government in a roundabout way.

This made the soldiers guarding the border even more chilling.

Li Shuang asked the government for land. The provincial chief envoy was worried about the consequences for himself, so he issued an order, ordering that all the land that had been forcibly occupied must be returned to the military camps and the people within one month.

For a time, the entire northern officialdom was in panic. The leading prefects in each state personally ordered their officials to inspect their fields. Anyone who slacked off a little would have his whole family imprisoned.

Song Chuyuan was worried about raising money. Suddenly, he heard a report from a boy, saying that the Song family's land could not be used as mortgage, but should be turned over to the state treasury.

When Tang Shun heard about this, he rushed over immediately.

The two sat together, and Song Chuyuan complained dissatisfiedly: "It's unreasonable that the court is pursuing land annexation at this time. This is completely not leaving everyone a way to survive."

"I heard that there was almost a mutiny in the Tanzhou army. If we don't calm the morale of the army as soon as possible, the positions of Li Shuang and the chief envoy will not be guaranteed."

Tang Shun advised calmly: "The trend of land annexation in the North has long been overwhelmed. The imperial court will take action sooner or later. The head of the Song family cannot make an enemy of the entire Tanzhou Army because of this matter."

In this way, the Crescent Party will be criticized.

"Thousands of fertile fields."

Song Chuyuan's heart was bleeding: "If I don't have the land as collateral, where can I get so much money? How can the Chen family's silk be handed over to me?"

Tang Shun couldn't help but frowned when he mentioned this matter.

"Yanyang Weaving Bureau."

Song Chuyuan's eyebrows twitched, and then he smiled happily: "Now the only thing we can do is use the Yanyang Weaving Bureau as a mortgage. When we collect the Chen family's silk and defeat the Lu family, the Yanyang Weaving Bureau can still redeem it. "

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately ordered the housekeeper: "Quick, go to the Cui Mansion immediately. The Cui family has a great business, and Cui Sanlang will definitely be able to come up with this money."

Seeing Song Chuyuan leaving him and hurriedly leaving the door, Tang Shun frowned even deeper.

He had a hunch that he had made a wrong bet.

Song Chuyuan had already lost his mind.

The entire Dayue Dynasty's weaving industry has been in chaos. Is there really any point in continuing to fight?
