However, since the Zhou couple just didn't want to encourage such a sale of official positions and titles, Jiang Xian was not so disgusted.

She said, "Tell me a message to Lord Zhou and tell Lord Zhou not to care about this matter. After all, Lord Xia is in charge. If you really can't stand it, please take a sick leave and rest at home for a few days! Let's talk about it when Cai Dingzhong leaves."

Mrs. Zhou's eyes lit up and she kept saying "Okay", but then her eyes were slightly dimmed and she said with a wry smile: "Our master said that this official is amazing! It's better to go home to farm!"

"Doesn't you see these things after leaving the officialdom?" Jiang Xian didn't care.

Mrs. Zhou sighed.

After that, the two of them had their own thoughts and didn't say anything. After eating vegetarian food, they parted.

The first thing Jiang Xian did when he returned home was to look at Brother Shen.

The little guy was lying on the bed after he had enough food and drank. Hey, hey, what he said.

Jiang Xian felt a lot softening when he heard this. After a hurry, she went to Shen Ge'er's house to tease him.

After a while, Li Qian's voice came from the yard.

Not as calm as usual, but with a little depressed anger, he was talking to someone: "...I don't care about the officials he sells him, but I want to place people here, but there is no door. Go and tell him whoever promises him to ask him to go!"

Then there was the voice of Binghe: "Yes! I'll do it now!"

Li Qian was silent for a while before replying, saying, "From the future, no matter who comes to the house, I will drive it away directly. The princess is at home, and she has finally gotten idle. Don't let these mundane things disturb her."

Glacier promises.

After two cups of tea, Li Qian walked in with a smile and said, "Why are you in Brother Shen's nanny? Did the trip to Xiangji Temple go smoothly today? Did those monks say anything?"

Before leaving, Jiang Xian said that he would draw a lottery for Kang and his children.

She said, "I'm not in Brother Shen'er's room and I don't know that you have such a loud voice when you get angry? Why, Cai Dingzhong has set his mind on you?"

Li Qian was not going to hide it from Jiang Xian. He heard this and said angrily, "He got angry, so I intercepted him halfway and let him stay in Shaanxi."

Jiang Xian couldn't help laughing and said, "At the critical moment, I still show my banditry spirit!"

Li Qian hummed and didn't say anything.

Jiang Xian said: "What does Cai Dingzhong mean? He knew that I didn't like him, but he even went to Xi'an to sell official positions and titles. He was not afraid that I would take him to the pot!"

Li Qian sneered: "There are not so many officials in the court to sell. Others really go to provide disaster relief, only Cai Dingzhong is here to fight Qiufeng. He probably knows that you don't like him, and he hasn't wandered in front of me these days. As for why he came to Shaanxi, he probably still has to use the name of disaster relief. The matter of selling official positions and titles is probably not the cabinet's approval. It should be that he colluded with. Going to another place to get Wuming, there is no way."

So who is he hooked up with in the cabinet?

No matter what, Jinghai Hou must have known it.

Li Qian curled his lips and said, "Didn't Marquis Jinghai yell all day long to expand the naval army? I think this is a good thing. It's better to ask Marquis Jinghai to support the court and then let Marquis Jinghai decide the number of soldiers of the naval army, which can fill the gap in the national treasury. It's a good thing to kill two birds with one stone!"

Jiang Xian was stunned.

How could Li Qian think of it if Zhao Xiao uses the money to buy the military expansion quota?

This is too expensive!

I can't get it without a million taels of silver.

Is Li Qian digging a hole for Zhao Xiao?

Jiang Xian said: "Is it possible for Zhao Xiao to agree?"

Even if Zhao Xiao agreed, one million taels of silver was not a small amount. He exchanged the quota for expanding the army with the court, so why should he use the money to build the army?

Li Qian said: "Don't he be rich and generous to manage people everywhere? Since he thinks he has money, he should just take some money. It's just a few million taels. He can't bear to give up this amount of money, which shows that he is not really trying to expand the navy."

Jiang Xian was so angry that he photographed him twice: "With the lessons of the past, when you expand your army, are you going to buy it with money?"

"Of course!" Li Qian said with a righteous expression, "Since there is a precedent, of course I will abide by it."

Jiang Xian was stunned.

Seeing this, Li Qian laughed and leaned into her ear and said sly: "Don't worry about me. I'm looking forward to him buying an official with money. By the time we are, we will learn from it. But you also know that the northwest is not as expensive as in southern Fujian, and the price of official positions is not as expensive as in southern Fujian. Moreover, the southern Fujian style is strong, and the household registration management is strict. One person is one person. Our northwest is different. I dare to pat my chest and say that the court has never figured out how many people there are in our northwest. Hami Guards, Xining Guards, the land is wide and the ridges, and people fall there, just like ants land on the ground, and they will disappear in the blink of an eye. How can we know how many people there are?"

This bastard is fishing in troubled waters again.

Jiang Xian pursed his lips and smiled.

Li Qian sighed a long time, leaned back and fell next to Brother Shen, pinching Brother Shen'er's little hand and his eyes became deeper.

"Baoping!" he said quietly, "Actually, I've been very unhappy these days. What's wrong with these officials? The court does not have the majesty of the court, the officials do not have the character of the officials, and the people are displaced and miserable. If this continues, is this still a dynasty?" He said, turning his head, holding Jiang Xian with his other hand, and whispered: "Sometimes I think, it would be great if I could be the master of my family. I must formulate a strict selection system, select officials who truly rule the people as chief officials, and select real knowledgeable people as cabinet ministers, so that the people can live and work in peace and prosperity, so that the Tartars dare not invade..."

Jiang Xian held Li Qian's hand tightly and said in his heart: Many of those who raise troops to pursue rebellion think so.

Including King Liao!

Besides his origin, Zhao Yi is better than the King of Liao?

He also messed up the court.

Of course, the King of Liao was not convinced.

But where is the name of Dayi? So what if you don’t accept it?

But Jiang Xian said nothing.

When she thought of Li Qian in her previous life, she always felt unfair, and she would probably be the same in this life.

But she didn't know whether she could see the day when he was against him.

No matter how chaotic the court is, there will be three pounds of nails. If there is no major event in the court, it is impossible to successfully rebel.

She thought of Zhao Xi again.

I don't know if he can take power.

What kind of emperor was he who came to power?

However, the most important thing in front of you is to strengthen your own strength.

Jiang Xian said: "What is the situation when the Wei family led their men to fight against the Tartars?"

Last winter, Li Qian really asked someone to take some disaster victims to the grassland to grab food.

It is said that a large part of them survived because of this.

Li Qian smiled and said, "The Wei family kept all the bold and agile people and organized them into cavalry. There are more than 5,000 people now. By the fall of this year, the foals from the horse farm in Ganzhou will be sent here, and tomorrow after the New Year, these people will be able to try their luck on the grassland."
