Chapter 203 Jing You's Banquet

"The name of this Yangxia Ling is Jingyou?"

When Zhao Kuo heard this name, he decided to accept Jing You's banquet.

The reason is also very simple. See if you can find out the ideas of the three major families of Chu from Jing You.

Zhao Kuo didn't care whether he would cooperate with Chunshen Jun or with the three major families. As long as he could complete his mission to come to Chu this time, he would let Chu recognize Zhao, the eldest brother.

Moreover, from the perspective of doing business, the three major families that have been operating in the State of Chu for hundreds of years and have long extended their tentacles into all aspects of the State of Chu seem to be better partners.

Of course, you have to do business with a smile, so when Zhao Kuo, who had just walked off the carriage, saw Jing Youzhi who was already waiting at the gate, he also smiled on his face: "I'm sorry, Lord Jing."

Jing You smiled and said, "What are you saying? You come from afar, and it is appropriate for the lower officials to welcome you as landlords.

Please, please come inside.”

The two of them came to the main hall while talking and laughing.

There were also many people participating in the dinner this time, and several important officials from Yangxia City were naturally present. For example, there were Xu Li and Li Si and other subordinates attending together.

Since Chu and Zhao have been jointly against Qi and Qin for a long time, the atmosphere of the whole banquet was quite harmonious.

After three rounds of wine, Zhao Kuo casually raised the wine and said to Jing You: "Sir Jing, the dozens of miles of land coming from the Yellow River should be your rule?"

Jing You hurriedly said, "It's true. I wonder what you have to do?"

Zhao Kuo sighed and said, "I came across the river today. I saw the desolate fields along the way. I felt a little moved. I wonder where the people in Yangxia City have gone?"

Although Li Si has given an explanation, Zhao Kuo is still quite curious about how the local chief viewed this.

Jing You's expression changed at first when he heard this, and then he smiled bitterly helplessly: "You don't know anything. This area was actually Song people before. After our Great Chu occupied this place, the Song people have been rebelling continuously, which has made this place uneasy.

Later, when I came here to become an official, I felt that these Song people were a hidden danger after all, so I reported to Yingdu and moved all the Song people in this area to the south, and then moved from the south to Dachu to immigrate here to enrich the place."

Zhao Kuo said oh, looked at Li Si, and then continued to look at Jing You: "But, there seems to be no Chu people in these fields now."

Jing You smiled and said, "Oh, at the beginning, there were many immigrants coming, but later, there were no frequent wars. Da Chu kept... Forget it, let's not mention it, drink bars and wait."

When Zhao Kuo listened to Jing You's words, he always felt that it seemed a bit untrue, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.

At this moment, Li Si, who was sitting in the lower head, suddenly said lightly: "Since those immigrants have returned because of war, I guess the land has been in the hands of Jingchengling, right?"

While speaking, there was obvious anger on Li Si's face.

Jing You's face changed drastically when he heard this, but he immediately calmed down and called out: "I won't talk about this, I won't talk about this! Come on, have fun and dance!"

Zhao Kuo's heart moved slightly and finally understood it completely.

I originally thought that the desolation of this land was caused by the war. Now it seems that it is inseparable from the local chief of Jingyou! I used the war to fuel the fire and then used administrative means to exploit immigrants. In the end, both the indigenous people and the immigrants left, and the land became Jingyou. No, it should be owned by the Jing family behind Jingyou.

I'm afraid that many of the land in Chu State were secretly stolen by the three major families in this way?

This is indeed very consistent with that historical law - the strong families in any country will basically develop into borers that keep eating the country's foundation in the end! Zhao Kuo frowned and said lightly: "Jingcheng Ling, I heard a word from me. I will give it to you today."

Jing You showed a flattering smile on his face and said, "I'll ask you to give me advice."

Zhao Kuo said lightly: "Officials are boats, and people are water."

Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn the boat!"

This sentence comes from Mencius and is popular after being spoken by Emperor Taizong of Tang. It was adapted by Zhao Kuolue today.

Based on the words of Zhao Kuo's retainer Li Si just now, even a fool can understand what Zhao Kuo means.

This is beating Jing You and others' faces, warning them that they will not end well if they exploit the people! Jing You's face changed and changed, but in the end he could only smile and smiled, "What you said is extremely yes, extremely yes.

The lower official has received the teachings!”

Zhao Kuo glanced at Jing You and knew that this kind of official guy could not take his words to heart. After all, Zhao Kuo was not from the same country as Jing You, so he couldn't care about Jing You's head.

At this moment, a team of dancers walked out gracefully and arrived at the middle of the lobby to stand.

The melodious music began to sound, and the dancers also began to dance.

The dancers' dances came from Zheng State, and their dance posture was so unrestrained and bold. In addition, their clothes were originally half-covered and quite revealing. The beautiful white bodies appeared and faintly behind the gauze skirt. In addition, the faint fragrance from somewhere suddenly made the men in the entire hall unable to sit still.

Among them, the woman who was the leader was the most eye-catching.

The dancer was wearing extremely bold upper body, similar to the northern Hu people's style strapless breasts. Her flat and smooth belly leaked out directly, and the thin tulle skirt on the lower body could not hide the beautiful scenery. Her straight and slender legs were leaping lightly, attracting everyone's attention.

Among them, Zhao Kuo's retainer Li Si was the most restless, his eyes were firmly attached to the woman, and he seemed to want to take the woman home directly.

Zhao Kuo noticed Li Si's appearance of Brother Zhu, and he felt a little funny. Li Si is still young after all, and his resistance to women is indeed poor.

As for Zhao Kuo himself, he had no reaction.

Because there is already a wife and a concubine in Zhao Kuo's mansion, Tian Wan and Qiu'er are one with one wife and one concubine, and the two are dignified and gentle, and the other is a lively and cute beauty. They are both beautiful and capable of being elected as the "Top Ten Beauties of the World". How could they take such a dancer in front of them, who is specialized in seducing men at first glance?

Just vulgar powder.

Zhao Kuo drank the wine calmly, unmoved at all, and formed a sharp contrast with the inclined appearance of a group of Zhao and Chu officials around him.

Finally, after the song was over, the dancer in the head came to Zhao Kuo gracefully and said softly: "I have met Wu Xinjun."

Then, the dancer leaned towards Zhao Kuo's arms.
