Chapter 278 Zhao Ji "I wish the king many sons and good fortune~~~"

Genyue, originally named Wansui Mountain, was also known as Huayang Palace.

Located in the northeast of the Imperial Palace, it was originally built by forcibly demolishing a large number of houses and transporting countless strange rocks and trees from the "Huashi Gang" that was a scourge to the world.

There is no need to explain the luxury of this royal garden. Just looking at the fact that it is located in the core area of ​​Bianliang City, where housing prices were the most expensive in the world at that time, you can get an idea of ​​this.

There are countless exotic flowers and beautiful trees everywhere, and lush green grass is everywhere between the rocks.

"Brother, look." Zhao Gou, with a hoarse voice, happily held up a bunch of wild vegetables to the crown prince Zhao Huan, "It's Xiebai."

"well."

Zhao Huan took the leek and threw it into the bamboo basket skillfully. "It rained a few days ago, so it must have grown a lot. Let's find some more wild vegetables."

The two brothers, wearing patched and ragged clothes, crawled around happily, searching for wild vegetables.

About a hundred steps away, next to a rockery, Zhao Ji, who was also wearing a patchwork robe, was lying on the ground with full concentration, staring sharply at a rat hole not far in front of him.

As soon as a mouse showed its head, he pounced on it like lightning, grabbed it and pulled it out.

"Hahahaha~~~"

Looking at the squeaking and struggling mouse in his hand, Zhao Ji's saliva was flowing.

"I haven't tasted meat for almost half a month. Today I can finally eat meat."

Ever since Chen Ran asked for more ingredients and more items, the meals for the father and his two sons have been completely stopped.

In the words of the eunuch in charge, "Every grain of food is earned by the hard work of the people. You are eating the people's fat and blood but you are also harming them. What right do you have to eat the food?"

Zhao Ji wiped his tears and asked back, "What shall we eat? We can't starve to death."

"Figure it out yourself."

After several days of competing with livestock for feed and suffering defeat, the father and his two sons were allowed to move around in Gen Yue for two hours every day to search for food.

When Chen Ran took over the city, Gen Yue had not yet been completed, and no large number of people had moved in.

Due to lack of maintenance, the area is overgrown with weeds and infested with snakes and rats.

Under the trend of hunger, the three men who were once the most noble in the world were now eunuchs. They quickly learned how to distinguish wild vegetables and how to catch birds, snakes, rats, and even foxes and rabbits.

It is very simple to learn to distinguish wild vegetables. Just pull up all the weeds and eat them a few times, and you will naturally know which ones are edible and which ones are not.

In comparison, it is difficult to capture small animals, after all, they are used to a life of luxury, and the intense activities can easily cause repeated tearing of the wounds. Zhao Gou even had a wound infection once.

Chen Ran showed no mercy when it came to treating the father and his two sons, and the imperial doctors took turns on call for twelve hours.

After all, how can they die easily without experiencing all the sufferings in the world?

How can the thousands of people who have been poisoned by them rest in peace?

Zhao Ji, with a look of joy on his face, skillfully broke the mouse's neck with the hands he used to draw and write.

He raised his head and looked towards his two sons, intending to eat the meal alone.

When she looked up, she was surprised to see the man who had taken everything from her standing in front of her with a smile on his face.

For a moment, Zhao Ji was filled with mixed feelings.

Hatred is inevitable, but what is more important is fear.

He was afraid that Chen Ran would kill him at any time. After all, it was better to live a miserable life than to die.

Zhao Ji, who had enjoyed the ultimate luxury and honor in the world, was afraid of death.

"Your Majesty." Chen Ran squatted down and tilted his head slightly. "I have never eaten rat meat. How does it taste? Tell me about it."

"The king is back."

Zhao Ji lay on the ground, not daring to look Chen Ran in the eye.

On his sallow face, he tried to force a smile. "After peeling the skin, the rat meat is tender and delicious."

"Oh~~~"

Chen Ran suddenly realized, "I see. How does it compare to mutton?"

"Mutton?" Zhao Ji was a little dazed. He had long forgotten what mutton tasted like.

Seeing him in a daze, Chen Ran didn't make things difficult for him.

After standing up, he raised his hand and called Zhao Huan and Zhao Gou, who were standing not far away and holding wild vegetables in their hands and cowering, to come over.

When the two brothers came over, Chen Ran said, "Fu Jin gave birth to a daughter. I am here to announce the good news."

The father and his two sons naturally remembered Zhao Fujin, after all, she was the most beautiful princess.

Zhao Huan and Zhao Gou didn't know what to say, but Zhao Ji forced a smile and said, "Congratulations, it is a blessing for Fujin to serve the king and give birth to children for the king."

"Heh~~~"

Looking at Zhao Ji with a flattering smile on his face, Chen Ran smiled, but in his heart he was thinking, 'Zhao Ji in Wuguo City must have looked like this when he saw his women and daughters-in-law giving birth to children for Jinren.'

Chen Ran has seen many people with poor character.

But Zhao Ji is such a shameless person, he is definitely a rare talent that only appears once in a thousand years.

People like this are wasting air when they live.

Shaking his head, Chen Ran lost interest and threw a cloth bag in front of the father and son.

"The child weighs 15.6 catties. Here is 15.6 catties of food as a reward for you."

After saying that, he turned around, put his hands behind his back and walked away.

There was a sudden light in the eyes of the father and his two sons, and they rushed over to fight for the cloth bag.

In order to fight for food, they even beat each other.

"I'm your dad~Oops!"

"I'm the youngest, give me some food!"

"It's bleeding, it's bleeding~~~" After some tearing, the cloth bag broke and the food spilled on the grass.

The father and his two sons were stunned at first, then they all rushed over, grabbed the food and stuffed it into their mouths.

This is really because of hunger.

Seeing Chen Ran going away, Zhao Ji did not forget to shout "I wish the king many sons and good fortune~~~"

I don't know if he forgot, but except for Li Qingzhao and Hu Sanniang, all the women around Chen Ran are from his family.

Wishing Chen Ran many children and good fortune is like actively putting on a hat of forgiveness.

Even Chen Ran couldn't help but stop and wanted to beat up this shameless man.

But when I think about what this person did in history, I feel relieved.

If he had any sense of shame, he would have died in Bianliang City, but would have died by the Gaoliang River. If nothing else, he would have died in Wuguo City.

Even if you don't want to die, you have to do what Yelu Yanxi did and seize the opportunity to escape.

Zhao Ji was so bad that it is simply not worth mentioning.

Shaking his head, Chen Ran left the desolate Genyue and came to the military and political government office.

He took a militarist approach, with the military at the center of everything.

However, the administrative system is still needed, but the candidates are selected from the military, and the official name is "No one without military merit can be an official."

There are exceptions, though.

One is Ma Zhi, and the other is the famous Qin Hui.

Qin Hui had a great reputation. As a scholar-official who took the initiative to surrender to Chen Ran, Qin Hui, who had already boarded the ship and had no other way out, had already offended all the scholars in the world by supervising executions, confiscating property, depriving privileges, and confiscating land.

His reputation everywhere is already heading towards being the greatest traitor in history.

He also had a nickname in the underworld, known as "Qin Wanhu".

The reason for this name is that the number of scholars, officials, and clerks who were executed and punished under his command exceeded ten thousand.

Most of the most redundant officials among the three redundant officials in the Song Dynasty were killed by Qin Hui.

But in Chen Ran's opinion, this is far from enough.

There were too many people sucking blood from the Song Dynasty, so he wanted Qin Hui to continue chopping them off.

"Hino."

Looking at Qin Hui who was busy processing official documents at his desk, Chen Ran greeted him with a warm smile.

Qin Hui put down his pen, stood up and saluted hurriedly, "Your Majesty~~~"

"No need to be so polite." Chen Ran pressed his hand and gestured, "Sit down and talk."

When Qin Hui sat down, his calves were shaking.

He knew very well that every time the king came to see him with a smile, something bad must be wrong!
Sure enough, after a simple greeting, Chen Ran said, "I came to see you this time because I need you to do something."

Qin Hui lowered his head and gritted his teeth. It took him a while to recover. "Please give your orders, Your Majesty."

"Go and search the Daxiangguo Temple."

When these words came out, Qin Hui shuddered suddenly.

Your Majesty, are you going to take action against Buddhism?!
Buddhism, Taoism, and even the Nestorianism believed in by Fang La and others, etc., will inevitably develop towards the direction of fighting for power and profit after they develop to a certain scale.

No matter how good they started out, this outcome was inevitable.

Taoism is better. As it focuses on self-cultivation, such as drinking sulfuric acid made by oneself, it is not so serious about interfering with worldly affairs.

But other things are different.

There is no need to say much about Nestorianism. Fang La is now occupying the southeast and rebelling.

Chen Ran already has a plan to send troops, so we can ignore it.

Buddhism's political influence is in decline.

But their ability to make money is becoming stronger and stronger.

Over the years, believers have continued to give them money, and the temples themselves have been trying every possible way to make money.

Apart from eating, drinking, and having fun, most of this money was used to lend at interest.

Compared with the government, temples and local gentry are the biggest money-makers among the people.

Their goals are highly consistent, they are all targeting the people's land and the people themselves.

Land is the most important means of production in the agricultural era, and no one would complain about having too much land.

As for the common people, it was even simpler. The monks and gentry were all busy eating, drinking, having fun and enjoying life, so it was naturally impossible for them to go to the fields to farm themselves.

They used the interest to tie up the common people and turned them into their tenants to work for them.

As for colluding with the government, deceiving superiors and subordinates, and committing crimes, those are all trivial matters not worth mentioning.

After all, no one wants to work for others all their life, working hard but only being able to barely make ends meet.

There were constant uprisings among the people during the Song Dynasty, and the main source of the uprising was these tenants who could not make a living.

The gentry had suffered a severe blow, but the temple was still alive and well.

Chen Ran couldn't bear to see this, so he took out his black knife again.

Qin Hui's voice was a little hoarse. "I wonder, Your Majesty, to what extent you want to investigate?"

When asked, Chen Ran's response was very simple.

"Destroy the temple."
