Chapter 449: So rich

The eunuch group is a product of tragedy in the imperial era. After being forcibly deprived of fertility, many of these people will become psychologically distorted or even psychologically perverted.

Wei Zhong is an exception, at least so far, he is quite normal.

But eunuchs are also humans, and they will have the desire to reproduce.

Therefore, Wei Zhong also wanted descendants and people to call him father. Therefore, when he was at Sigongtai, he also accepted many adopted sons.

However, the adopted son and father of the eunuch can be regarded as a political alliance in a sense, and cannot be regarded as true. Therefore, Jiangzhou adopted the grandson under Wei Zhong's name and became the last sustenance in the old eunuch's heart.

His grandson is already in his twenties this year.

Jiangzhou's family was the last weakness of Wei Zhong, who had no desires and no desires at this time, and Kang Dongping happened to have grasped his weakness.

Eunuch Wei took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

"General, I am just a broken person. Even though I have followed the former emperor for many years, I am still a eunuch in the eyes of the world."

"Whether the people believe what I said is different, and those aristocratic races will not believe it even more. The general raised an army on the grounds of his words, and those aristocratic races may even dislike the general..."

Kang Dongping stroked his lush beard with his hands and smiled at Wei Zhong: "You don't have to worry about this for me. I only need a reason to send troops now, and I don't need many aristocratic clans to help me."

Speaking of this, General Kang smiled proudly.

"I have also been in Chang'an. I don't know much about the aristocratic tribes of you Han people, especially those thousand-year-old families. They look tall and pure, but their bones are softer than anyone else."

"As long as I defeated the imperial guards of the court and drove the army to the doors of these people, they would not only not dislike me, but would also kneel on the ground and bow down and bow down."

Kang Dongping looked at Wei Zhong and asked with a smile: "Does my father-in-law believe it?"

Wei Zhong responded silently.

In a sense, Kang Dongping is right. The thousand-year-old families in this world have experienced many dynasties. They can destroy their country without destroying their families. Although some of their own strong power exists, their bones will definitely not be too hard.

At least you have to kowtow what you should kowtow.

Otherwise, even if the new dynasty would compromise with these aristocratic families in the early years of its founding, it would definitely chew off these aristocratic families if they recovered their vitality after one or two generations.

Seeing that Wei Zhong did not speak, General Kang smiled: "The family in this world that has been around for more than three hundred years is all speculative and cunning."

"Okay, Eunuch Wei, because we are familiar with each other, Kang has told you so much. How to make a decision, let me tell you."

Wei Zhong remained silent for a long time and said, "I will think about how many days."

"good."

General Kang nodded happily and said with a smile: "Three days later, Kang is still waiting for his father-in-law here."

Wei Zhong slowly let out a sigh: "I want to see my family."

"no problem."

Kang Dongping smiled slightly: "I'll let someone take my father-in-law to see your family."

Wei Zhong stood up silently, dragged his tired body toward the door.

When he was about to reach the door, the old man with white hair stopped and looked back at Kang Dongping.

"General Kang, if the late emperor had passed the throne to the sixth prince, you..."

"Will you still rebel?"

Kang Dongping was stunned by this question, and then frowned slightly.

"I have no idea."

Wei Zhong nodded and walked out.

…………

Qingzhou.

A noble young man dressed in white but with a little dark face, rode on a snow-white horse and looked up at a city not far ahead.

This city is not big, but there are many cars and horses coming and going at the city gate, which is quite lively. If you look closely, you can see that many people are taking their families and preparing to move into the city.

Although the city gate was very lively and even a little congested, the yamen guarding the city gate not only did not take the opportunity to plunder the oil, but was even very patient, directing the passing cars and horses and pedestrians.

This city... seems to be very different from other cities in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The noble young master became interested and turned around and spoke to the servants beside him: "Give me instructions and let them camp on the spot and don't move."

This noble prince is naturally Li Xu, the general of the left guard of the court.

He originally brought two hundred imperial guards with him, but in order not to disturb the local people, he asked the two hundred imperial guards to stop twenty miles outside the city. He brought a few followers outside Qingzhou City by himself.

Before he entered the city, Li Xu felt the uniqueness of this Qingzhou City. He asked the imperial guards to camp on the spot, and then lined up to Qingzhou City with two followers.

It was still noon now, and there was already a queue of elders at the door. Li Xu was unwilling to line up with these civilians, but out of curiosity, he was unwilling to startle Lin Zhao immediately, so he lined up behind a middle-aged man to enter the city.

His Royal Highness looked at the team of more than a dozen people in front of him, gently patted the man in front of him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother, what happened in the city? Why are so many people rushing into the city?"

The man looked back at Li Xu.

"Young Master came from another place?"

Li Xu nodded and said, "I came from another place to visit relatives in Qingzhou."

"No wonder the young master didn't know."

The man was obviously very talkative. He smiled at Li Xu with a simple smile and said, "Now Qingzhou City is different from before. A few months ago, a good official came and set up a bronze slaughter to rule over all the corrupt officials in the city. Now there are no evil officials in Qingzhou City bullying us people."

Li Xu frowned and continued to ask: "Even so, what are so many people queuing up to enter the city?"

"Young Master, don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Because the person in front of him walked a few steps forward, the man also followed him and looked back at Li Xu and continued: "Two months ago, the new envoy, Mr. Jun, issued an edict saying that as long as he had a skill, he could go to Qingzhou City to work. The government would provide accommodation. After working for a few months, the government would reorganize the household registration and move the household registration to the city."

Speaking of this, the man grinned: "Master Envoy is recruiting blacksmiths, carpenters and stonemasons in large quantities. I am a blacksmith. I want to go to the city to work for Master Envoy. I heard that a month's wage can keep up with the harvest of crops in one year!"

The household registration system in ancient times was relatively harsh. Some dynasties even implemented hereditary system. For example, if the father was a blacksmith, the son also had to be a blacksmith.

I am a military man, so my son has to join the army.

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty is not that strict, it also strictly stipulates the "place of household registration". As long as it is recorded in the official household registration booklet, it cannot easily leave the place of household registration, otherwise it will be issued a "road guide".

In other words, rural people cannot easily enter the city.

Lin Zhao was able to "work" in the city at that time because Donghu Town itself was under Shanyin, near Yuezhou City, and the government was not strict in charge, otherwise he would not even have the opportunity to work in the city.

Nowadays, the Qingzhou system means that as long as you have a skill and work in the city, you can have a "urban household registration"!

His Highness frowned.

He looked at the endless team and couldn't help asking: "So many people have entered the city, and it's been a long time. How can a Qingzhou city be lived?"

"I don't know this either."

The man scratched his head and said, "But I heard that Qingzhou City is preparing to expand the city, Master Jun has summoned many stonemasons just to build a new city wall."

"We ordinary people don't know about the matter of Master Guan."

The man walked forward a few more steps. Seeing that he was about to reach the city gate, he looked back at Li Xu and said, "Young Master, I'm going to go into the city. There are still a few relatives waiting for me in the city."

After saying that, the man took out his own photo from his arms and went to verify his identity with the gatekeeper.

His Royal Highness looked at the man first, then looked back at the queue behind him, and was secretly surprised.

"This Lin Sanlang..."

Li Xu whispered.

"So rich..."
