"How much can it change?"

As a big agricultural country, Yan must be cautious about any issues related to agriculture, so when he heard Yang Qi talk about the earth-shattering changes, Xiang Minzhong subconsciously asked.

Yang Qi asked Chen Lin to bring a sweet potato, put it in front of Xiang Minzhong, and said: "This is called sweet potato, which is a very drought-tolerant crop, which can be cultivated in sandy land and wasteland covered with gravel, with a yield of 1,000 catties per mu." ”

Xiang Minzhong's eyes widened and he shook his head again and again, "This is impossible!" ”

That was his first reaction.

The yield per mu is 1,000 catties, which is unheard of in Xiang Minzhong.

Yang Qi couldn't confirm this to Xiang Minzhong for a while, he pondered for a moment and said, "I remember that there are many watermelons planted on the Huangzhuang outside the city. This thing can be the same as the watermelon, and when the watermelon is cut with vines, it is the time when this thing is ripe.

I will tell you how to raise seedlings when I turn around, and when you go back, you will bring people to cultivate them quickly and plant them as soon as possible.

By the time autumn comes, you'll know if what I'm saying is false.

As for the other seeds, I only know a fraction of them. I will give you the appropriate cultivation method, and you can do it.

Most of the remaining seeds, I don't know, but they are large enough to have enough time to experiment.

The officials who followed Huang Gu and the others to the sea have returned home, and I will send them to your command.

They will guide you in planting.

Remember, protect both of them.

The people of my Dayan, whether they will be hungry from now on, hope lies in the two of them. ”

Xiang Minzhong hesitated, but nodded respectfully, "The minister understands......"

Yang Qi said in a deep voice: "Go quickly, don't delay for a moment." The assessment of the officials of the Yan State has reached the final moment, and the rest are high-ranking officials who have a deep relationship with Confucianism.

It's time for me to have a showdown with Confucianism.

So I warn you, don't get involved. ”

Xiang Minxin was startled, and said in a low voice: "The minister obeys the order." ”

After Xiang Minzhong left, Yang Qi asked Chen Lin to take samples from the seeds sent back from Huanggu and send them to the palace.

Based on the few pieces of plant seed information he remembered, he compiled a book on seedling cultivation.

Yang Qi spent a month searching for his memories and completed the book.

Then he handed it over to Xiang Minzhong.

Finished solving the seed problem.

Yang Qi finally had time, let go of his hands and feet, and attacked Confucianism.

The first target he chose to start was Chen Jingzhi, who was currently closest to Confucianism and had the highest position in the court.

On a sunny morning.

Peng Pai led the people of the Supervision Department to rush into the Chen Mansion and arrest everyone in the Chen Mansion with lightning speed.

Moment.

Yanjing City became boiling.

The civil officials with a keen sense of smell felt that Yang Qi was going to attack them.

So, they rushed to tandem.

However, Yang Qi, who has been forbearance for five years, has already installed his own people at the most critical point among them.

By the time the civilians reacted, they found that their allies had become a mess.

They are like rats with their tails lit, running around frantically, and everyone is in danger.

Yang Qi saw the opportunity and made a move.

Arrested more than a dozen civil officials in one go.

Just when the civil officials were cornered, Kong Lianjie reappeared in everyone's sight.

The civil officials pounced on Kong Lianjie as if they had seen a savior.

Yanjing City's most expensive Changle Fang.

Dozens of civil officials received Kong Lianjie with the highest standard banquet.

It's been five years.

When Jet Kong appeared in front of people again, he no longer had the rampant nature of the past, but instead had a gloomy face.

In five years, for the sake of Confucianism, Kong Lianjie traveled up and down the Yan Kingdom, begging all the officials close to Confucianism in Yanjing.

It's a pity that everyone is busy going to sea to make money, and they find excuses to perfunctory him one by one.

After experiencing blows again and again, Kong Lianjie began to slowly understand himself, and began to slowly see the true colors of these civil officials.

The words in their mouths that they died for Confucianism were all.

This is a group of sluts who have milk and are mothers.

So when they met again, Kong Lianjie didn't give anyone a good look.

The former Guo Langzhong, the current waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Guo Shilang, after seeing Jet Kong, stepped forward with his eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Kong, after a long time, Brother Kong is still the same." ”

Kong Lianjie glanced at Guo Shilang up and down, waved his hand, and said nonchalantly: "After a few years, Guo Shilang has become a lot richer." Over the years, I haven't gone to sea to make money, right? ”

Kong Lianjie glanced at the civil officials who were full of fat brains, and said with a mouth: "You all took a circle, Kong almost can't recognize you."

Kong Mou looked at you, you must have had a good time over the years.

But Kong was miserable, the Kong family's land property was cut again and again by His Majesty, and now thousands of people in the whole clan can only live on more than 1,000 acres of fertile land. ”

While speaking, Kong Lianjie pulled up the clothes on his body, and after letting the civil officials see it clearly, he said: "As for Kong's clothes, I borrowed them from the rich family in the county before I went out." ”

Descendants of saints, borrow clothes to wear?

The civil servants could not have believed it.

Even though Yang Qi cut the Kong family's land again and again, the Kong family's wealth was still abundant, enough for Kong Lianjie to live comfortably for the rest of his life.

The clever civil officials heard his extraneous voice from Kong Lianjie's words.

Immediately, Guo Shilang gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Please take a seat first, Brother Kong will sit down first, and Guo will definitely have a heavy gift later." ”

Kong Lianjie raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips, "Then sit down......"

After speaking, without waiting for the others to respectfully invite, he unceremoniously strode into the largest wing room in Changle Fang.

When he entered the door, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Rumeng, who was squatting at the counter at the door.

If I dreamed of this, I was slightly stunned.

She frowned, not understanding the purpose of Jet Kong looking at her.

After Kong Lianjie strode into the wing, he naturally sat in the first place.

Guo Shilang and others followed closely and sat down separately.

After sitting down.

Kong Lianjie took care of himself for a short time, took a sip, and clicked his mouth, "Let's talk about it, what is the important thing for you to find Kong so much?" ”

Guo Shilang said with a smiling face: "Brother Kong, do you still remember the incident you mentioned when you came to visit me back then?" ”

Kong Lianjie was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "You also said that it was back then, and it has been five years, I still remember it." ”

When Guo Shilang heard this, he looked embarrassed.

He knows very well that Kong Lianjie still remembers the events of that year, otherwise he would not have opened his mouth to say the time of five years.

Obviously, Kong Lianjie has resentment about Guo Shilang's shirk back then.

Guo Shilang hesitated for a moment, and nodded vaguely to the others.

They took out one after another of the deposit tickets of Yan Guo Qian Bank from their cuffs, gathered in front of Guo Shilang, and pushed them in front of Kong Lianjie.

Kong Lianjie's gaze moved downward, and after glancing at the huge number of words of 10,000 yuan on the deposit ticket, and the thickness of taking an inch high, his face softened a little.

After seeing the faces of these civil officials clearly, Kong Lianjie didn't bother to pretend to be high in front of them, he didn't say a word, reached out and picked up the deposit ticket on the table, and unceremoniously stuffed it into his arms.

Then, he glanced at Guo Shilang and said with a smile: "Brother Guo, after you reminded me, Kong remembered what happened five years ago. ”

Kong Lianjie looked around and said with a smile: "Back then, Kong tried his best to invite you to stand for Confucianism. At that time, you shirked several times, and the harmful Kong was disgraced and fled from Yanjing City in disgrace. ”

Guo Shilang smiled embarrassedly: "Brother Kong is serious, I'll wait for that time...... There was something important going on......"

Kong Lianjie didn't wait for Guo Shilang to finish speaking, he ruthlessly debunked it, and said: "What else is there to do, you were busy making money at that time, right?" ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Guo Shilang coughed, hiding his embarrassment.

Kong Lianjie said mercilessly: "Back then, you abandoned righteousness for some money. Now, when His Majesty was forced into a corner, he remembered me. Now that the situation is critical, even if Kong comes forward, I am afraid that it will be difficult to solve this matter easily.

Kong won't go around the bend with you.

His Majesty now intends to eradicate the influence of Confucianism on the world in one fell swoop, and the situation is critical.

As a descendant of a saint, it is our duty to uphold the reputation of the saint at this time of crisis.

Kong entered Beijing this time in order to rescue Confucianism from His Majesty.

You are now one of the few protégés in the court who are still close to Confucianism.

Helping you through this difficult time is what Kong should do.

It's just that you have used Kong's strength, and when the time comes, don't forget Kong's contributions. ”

When Guo Shilang heard this, he hurriedly said: "After the matter is completed, we will be thanked." ”

"Yes, yes, yes......"

Other civil servants chimed in.

Kong Lianjie nodded slowly and said, "You have been busy making money all these years, and Kong has not been idle. In the past five years, His Majesty has borrowed the hands of Kou Zhun, Su Yijian and others, and has secretly eliminated a large number of officials close to Confucianism.

Even you have been promoted and demoted to some idle positions.

Today, it can be said that seventy percent of the officials in the Yan Kingdom have become His Majesty's people.

I am afraid it will be difficult for us to persecute Your Majesty with great momentum as before.

Because we've missed the best time.

Therefore, if we want to win back a game from His Majesty, we must find another shortcut. ”

Guo Shilang's eyes widened in shock, and his face was as dead as ashes, "Your Majesty has reached such a point, how can we turn the tables?" ”

Kong Lianjie glanced at him with disdain, "Look at your little bit of interest, this is just that, and you haven't reached the situation of death, you are the first to coax." ”

Guo Shilang trembled and said: "Now in the territory of Yan State, seventy percent of the officials have their hearts to Your Majesty and betrayed Confucianism, and the remaining thirty percent of the officials have no real power at all, how can they wrestle with Your Majesty?"

Another shortcut?

Under the general trend, how to find another shortcut? ”

Obviously, after hearing that Yang Qi had completed the layout, Guo Shilang had already planned to give up resistance.

Seeing this, Kong Lianjie frowned, and snorted coldly: "You idiot, giving up now is equivalent to death." You people, over the years, have made no less money, let alone black money.

If Your Majesty really catches you, one of you will be counted as one, and don't try to escape from Your Majesty's hands alive. ”

"So what are we going to do......"

"The only way to do this is to take advantage of the situation!"

When the civil officials heard this, they all looked at Kong Lianjie.

Guo Shilang asked with hope: "How to borrow the momentum, and whose momentum to borrow?" ”

Kong Lianjie narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "Do you know that Shen Lun is His Majesty's mentor?" ”

Guo Shilang was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly: "Shen Gong once taught the young Majesty, which is well known in Yan Kingdom, could it be that Brother Kong intends to borrow power from Shen Gong?" ”

Guo Shilang paused, frowned, and hesitated: "But as far as I know, the teacher-student friendship between Duke Shen and His Majesty has been exhausted as early as when His Majesty founded the Four Northwest Mansions.

Taking advantage of Shen Gong's momentum, I am afraid that it will be difficult to affect His Majesty. ”

Kong Lianjie sneered: "Then what if Shen Lun admonishes him with death? ”

Guo Shilang's eyes widened in horror, and he said in a trembling voice: "You want to murder Shen Gong?" Although Shen Gong's friendship with His Majesty's teachers and students has ended, he is His Majesty's mentor after all, and he has an incense friendship.

If Your Majesty knows about this, I am afraid that if we flee to the ends of the earth, we will also be cut by Your Majesty with a thousand knives.

This must not be done. ”

Kong Lianjie frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Kong also knows what will happen if he murders Shen Lun." I don't want to die yet. The reason why I mentioned letting Shen Lun admonish each other with death was because Shen Lun was seriously ill and his life was short. ”

When Guo Shilang and the others heard this, they were shocked.

He groaned for a long time.

After they figured out the gravity of the matter.

Guo Shilang gritted his teeth and said, "If Shen Gong's life is really short, we can naturally take advantage of Shen Gong's momentum." It's just that Shen Gong has not been out of the mountain for a long time, how can we get Shen Gong to agree to this. ”

Kong Lianjie slowly straightened up and said lightly: "If I, a descendant of a saint, personally bow down in the name of a saint and ask him to save Confucianism's life, do you think he will refuse?" ”

Guo Shilang and the others were stunned.

Shen Lun is a pure Confucian scholar, and he has always been upright, when facing the descendants of the saint to kneel and beseech.

He will certainly not remain indifferent.

If Kong Lianjie is really willing to move out of the name of a saint and beg Shen Lun, Shen Lun will definitely agree.

Even so, Guo Shilang and others still felt that this matter was a little crazy.

He subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked Jet Kong in a low voice, "Do you really want to do this?" ”

Kong Lianjie looked at him coldly.

"Do you want to die?"

Guo Shilang shook his head frantically.

After hesitating for two breaths, he raised his head, stared at Kong Lianjie, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Kong borrows the momentum of Shen Gong, and we will cooperate with you." But we hope that Brother Kong will keep his promise and not murder Shen Gong's life in order to achieve his goal.

That's the bottom line for me to wait for.

After all, if we are defeated, at most we will be killed and robbed of our family, but if we are implicated in the life of Duke Shen, it is very likely that we will be punished by His Majesty's nine clans. ”

Kong Lianjie waved his hand disdainfully and said, "You can rest assured of this, you just have to be ready to give Kong a benefit." After the matter is completed, Kong wants half of your net worth. ”

"Hiss~"

The officials present gasped in unison.

They bowed their heads and struggled for a long time.

In the choice of money and life, they finally chose life.

"Good! We promise you. ”
