Under Wei Zheng's gaze, the fat King of Jin showed an embarrassing smile on his face.

He replied with a look of shame: "Master Wei laughed... Although I have more than a thousand guards under my command, most of these guards are responsible for the safety of my royal palace. Therefore, for the villages outside Taiyuan City, I can be said to be out of reach. I can only send housekeepers to various farms to collect grain at the specified time every year... Usually, these farms basically come to Taiyuan City to contact the royal palace, and few royal palaces take the initiative to find them."

Hearing this, Wei Zheng's eyes quickly shot out two rays of light.

Then, he pretended to be innocent and continued to ask: "Prince, if the prince's mansion does not contact these farms, you are not worried that these farms will not be able to collect the food..."

King Jin shook his head with a confident look on his face and returned: "Of course I am not afraid... I have stipulated for each farm that the amount of grain should be paid. If this amount is not reached, the entire farm will be punished... Don't forget that in addition to the housekeeper sent by the king, there are hundreds of guards..."

"I believe that no one in Taiyuan Prefecture dares to oppose me..."

After getting the answer he wanted, Wei Zheng no longer allowed himself to stay in the Jin Palace, which was awkward, for even one minute.

After some compliments, he took Wang Yang and Wang Zhongyu directly to leave the magnificent Jin Palace.

As soon as he walked out of the King of Jin's mansion, Wang Yang, with a serious expression, asked: "Sir, hasn't the King of Jin agreed to sell the land to us yet? Why did it come out so soon? Don't we plan to buy land from the King of Jin..."

At this time, Wang Zhongyu also showed a puzzled expression and looked at Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng shook his head and replied: "You should have seen the situation in the Jin Palace just now... Do you think that with the greedy character of King Jin, will you sell the land in your hand to us?"

Under Wei Zheng's questioning, both Wang Zhongyu and Wang Yang shook their heads with helpless faces to express their denial.

At this time, Wang Yang, the direct person in charge of the next military farming, had to continue asking with a worried look on his face, "But, if we cannot buy these land from the King of Jin, our military farming in Taiyuan Prefecture will not be able to continue..."

Wei Zheng nodded and replied under the shocked eyes of the two of them, "Don't worry, I have already thought of a solution... Let's go back to the General's Mansion first, and then tell you..."

In the study of the highly vigilant general's mansion, under the anticipation of Wang Yang and Wang Zhongyu, Wei Zheng unexpectedly asked: "Mr. Wang, you were responsible for the local criminal laws before. You should be the clearest of some of the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty. In my laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, what are the specific regulations for the kings of various places who were enfeoffed in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China..."

Wang Yang answered without thinking: "Sir, the strictest of all laws is to enfeoff all the princes in various places. If there is no emperor's imperial edict, they must not leave the fiefdom. Otherwise, the court will cancel all titles and fiefdoms of this prince in the name of rebellion..."

"For the King of Jin in Taiyuan Prefecture, from the day he was born, he was destined to be able to stay in Taiyuan City and not leave Taiyuan Prefecture one step..."

"Because no one can guarantee that these eunuchs and servants around the prince are the secret spies sent by the Jinyiwei and the East Factory to report their every move to the court at any time..."

At this time, Wei Zheng directly raised his right hand and said to the two of them: "This is the result I want..."

"According to the Ming Dynasty's laws, King Jin was unable to leave Taiyuan City, which means that his understanding of the farm outside Taiyuan City could only be done through his subordinates' reports and annual grain collection..."

"When he was in the King of Jin's Mansion just now, the King of Jin also said that only when he was collecting grain every year, people would go there. Unless except for some unexpected situations, the managers of these farms would return to Taiyuan City to ask for help from the King of Jin's Mansion."

At this time, Wang Yang and Wang Zhongyu in front of him still did not understand the purpose of Wei Zheng's saying this.

Wei Zheng, who looked excited, asked Wang Yang again: "Mr. Wang, are there any farms in charge of the land outside the city?"

Wang Yang shook his head and replied: "… As far as Xiaguan knows, most of the fields in the King of Jin's Mansion were abandoned due to drought... Because these lands cannot produce any grain, the King of Jin's Mansion did not send anyone to manage them..."

"As for the farms under the Jin Prince's Mansion, almost all of them are located on both sides of the river, where river water can be irrigated."

Looking at the two pairs of confused eyes, Wei Zheng continued to ask: "In other words, the lands in Taiyuan Prefecture belong to the King of Jin on the surface, and the land deeds of the land are all in the King of Jin on the surface... But in fact, they are all unattended and no one is engaged in farming..."

Wang Yang nodded and affirmed: "Sir, I can say that..."

At this time, Wei Zheng's smile became even stronger and he shouted: "Since these lands are actually unattended wastelands, why do we have to do this extra mile, buy the land deeds of these lands from the King of Jin, and go directly around the King of Jin's mansion, and farm and grow grain on these wastelands..."

Hearing this, Wang Yang's face showed a shocked expression.

Under Wei Zheng's gaze, he refused loudly, "Sir... How can this be... Not to mention whether we will allow us to farm on these lands after receiving the news. Even if the King of Jin does not speak, with the King of Jin's greed, he will directly take the land deed and take back the land from us when the grain is about to be harvested..."

"At that time, our hard work in a year will not all be cheaper than the Jin Prince's Mansion..."

Facing Wang Yang, whose head was like a rattle, Wei Zheng continued to say unchangedly: "I just said that the King of Jin not only had no way to leave Taiyuan City, but also rarely took the initiative to understand the situation outside the city. To put it more directly, that is, he turned a blind eye to the matter outside the window and was only responsible for collecting cash and food every year. Since that is the case, then we will find a way to turn the King of Jin into a completely deaf and blind man, and will never know the situation outside the city."

Wang Yang, who still had a strong expression of worry, continued to ask: "What about that year later... When the Jin Palace sent people out of the city to collect grain a year later, not all our actions outside the city were to be exposed to the Jin King."
