For Jia Xu, he didn't care much about whether his third son became an official or whether he was a successful person. Of course, he could be promoted to a high-ranking official, but Jia Xu attached more importance to the interests of the family. Whether Jia Xu could make the Jia family a famous family in the Han Dynasty was the top priority. He must resolutely eliminate any behavior that endangers this interest.

He did not want to plead for his son and protect his official position. Of course, he did not want his son to be dismissed from office and imprisonment. He just hoped that his son would not be an official again, so as not to endanger his family's interests. It is actually not bad to manage housework for himself.

The King of Han obviously understood his difficulties and solved this problem for him, which made Jia Xu very grateful.

At this time, Liu Jing smiled and handed the seal back to him. Jia Xu took it back embarrassedly. He also felt a little impulsive. How could he use the title to say something? Isn’t this a threat to the King of Han?

"Your Highness, the old minister is ashamed!"

Liu Jing remembered something and said with a smile: "The Secretariat has been discussing the affairs of the rank of the land and the land of the rank of the land in the past few days. This matter has been delayed for a long time. If it is not implemented, the heroes will be disappointed and the lives of the civil officials will be affected. I might as well disclose a little information to Mr. Jia. The land of the rank of the rank of the rank of the marquis of the county is a hundred hectares of land. If Mr. Jia likes that land of the official land, he might as well tell me."

Jia Xu also smiled and said, "I do have an idea, can I entrust my hometown?"

"Mr. Jia's hometown is Guzang, Wuwei County, but most of the Han people there moved to Lingzhou. Now they are mainly farmers and Qiang people. It will take at least thirty or fifty years to restore the previous situation. It is better for Mr. Jia to be neighbors! How about enfeoffing him to Yong County?"

Jia Xu nodded and said, "It is the honor of the old minister to be his neighbor."

At this time, Liu Jing glanced at the jade box on the table and smiled and said, "Mr. Jia seems to have something else to look for me?"

"The old minister does have one more thing to ask His Highness!"

Jia Xu took the jade box and handed it to Liu Jing, "This is what the shopkeeper of Baibaozhai gave to me that incompetent son at noon today, which is really surprising."

Jia Xu opened the box and found dozens of dazzling pearls, all of which were as big as pigeon eggs, and were extremely precious. "Your Highness, these are fifty pearls, which are said to be just a deposit, and there will be a heavy thanks after the matter is completed. The old minister dare not accept this heavy gift and does not want to participate in the government."

After saying that, Jia Xu pushed Mingzhu to Liu Jing. Although Mingzhu shone brightly, a rage slowly rose in Liu Jing's heart. Of course, he knew that Baibaozhai was the property of the Fei family. The Fei family was known as the first family in Shu during the Liu Zhang era. The family had a huge wealth of money. Not only did it have a lot of land, it also operated the largest cloth shop and jewelry store in Shu. Its wealth was no less than that of the Tao family.

With the expansion of the Han Dynasty, the Fei family's industry flourished. Although it was stymied in land mergers, the jewelry store became the largest store in the world.

Baibaozhai in Chang'an is the property of the Fei family. Liu Jing had already complained about the Fei family's refusal to give up the land in central Shu. Now Fei Guan actually secretly bribed Jia Xu, which made Liu Jing a little unbearable.

However, as a superior, one of the most important qualities is that happiness and anger cannot be expressed in appearance. Liu Jing gradually did it. He was angry, but he smiled faintly and said, "Don't you give these pearls to me?"

Jia Xu sighed, "If Your Highness doesn't accept it, the old minister can only ask the dog to return it to the Fei family."

"I think it's better to give it to the Fei family. It's best if I don't know anything about this."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for understanding my merits' hardships."

Jia Xu knew very well that if the King of Han really accepted it, he would offend Fei Guan. The King of Han knew about this and then returned Mingzhu to the Fei family himself. This was the best way to deal with it.

Liu Jing got up and paced back and forth in the room, and came to the window and looked out the window with his hands in his arms. When he was in Jianye, Yu Fan bluntly pointed out the shortcomings of the Han Dynasty's multi-phase system. The five prime ministers served for too long, which affected the opportunities of other officials. Secondly, he did not only do his best, but to balance the interests of all parties.

In terms of talent, Fei Guan was far inferior to Ma Liang, Dong He was not as good as his son Dong Yun, and even Xu Shu was not as good as Pang Tong. So after the Battle of Hefei, he began to consider institutional changes.

After experiencing the decline of the late Han Dynasty, the disadvantages of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers system were undoubtedly revealed, and Cao Cao also began to reform. The three provinces and six ministries system in history was a reflection on the demise of the Han Dynasty. It gradually formed in the Wei and Jin Dynasties and finally matured in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Liu Jing also hopes to make powers check and balance each other, use the power of the Secretary of the Central Committee to check and balance the power of the monarch, use the subordinate Shizhong to check and balance the six departments of the Shangshu, and use the censor to supervise the check and balance the officials.

After quelling the Hexi Rebellion, he officially started reforming. It was inevitable that he would change the state of the state. Before he even considered how to change the state, various private activities began.

"Your Highness, the old minister has a suggestion. I wonder if your highness is willing to listen?"

Liu Jing turned around and smiled and said, "Mr. Jia is my aide. Why would I not listen to the advice of my aide? Please tell me."

"Your Highness, the old minister understands your highness's desire to govern, and fully supports your highness's idea of ​​changing faces. However, the old minister believes that the multi-prime system is the product of the compromise between Your Highness and the officials, which is conducive to inspiring the enterprising spirit of the officials and also helping the Han Dynasty seize the world. Therefore, the old minister suggests that no matter how it changes, the foundation of the multi-prime system cannot be changed. It is best to improve it, otherwise the Han Dynasty's country will be unstable."

Jia Xu's bitter advice made Liu Jing nod repeatedly. Liu Jing smiled and said, "I will not abolish the multi-ethnic system, nor will I change radically. As Jia Gong said, I will try my best to improve the multi-ethnic system. Of course, I will not punish him severely because Fei Guan gave him a heavy gift. I still have this focus, but Fei Guan's actions on some fundamental issues have also affected his future. I am not referring to gifts."

Jia Xu whispered: "The old minister knows that your highness is referring to the issue of the Fei family occupying land in Bashu."

"That's true. The so-called "unbreaking" does not exist. The fiefdom reward system has not been implemented for so many years. The fundamental reason is that officials in Shu refused to give up their land in Bashu, and the Fei family took the worst and occupied 10,000 hectares of land. I, the King of Han, only have a thousand hectares of fiefdom. What did he think of Fei Jing do?

It would be fine if it was ancestral land, but most of their land was given by Liu Zhang. Could it be that I would bear the consequences of Liu Zhang's unrequited rewards?"

Only then did Jia Xu understand that the real reason why Liu Jing wanted to touch Fei Guan was because Fei Guan touched Liu Jing's fundamental principle on the land issue, and all the lack of ability was just second.

"But isn't your Highness planning to reuse Fei Yi?" Jia Xu asked in confusion.

"I asked Fei Yi to be the Secretary of the Central Secretariat because he had enough talent, but it does not mean that Fei Yi can become a prime minister. In the future, if you want to become a prime minister, you must have a prerequisite, that is, you must obtain the qualification to be a "Pingzhangshi in the same way as the Secretary of the Central Secretariat". Only by obtaining this qualification can you become a prime minister. If the land of the Fei family is not removed, you will not want to become a prime minister again."

Jia Xu left the Han Palace in a carriage with a lot of worries. His conversation with His Highness of the Han Dynasty today made him understand Liu Jing’s principled bottom line. Liu Jing would never tolerate anyone owning a huge amount of land. He could indeed understand that the Han Dynasty was about to perish in the end. The fundamental reason was that the royal relatives and powerful families had merged too much land, which led to the death of most of the self-cultivated farmers of the Han Dynasty and became a vassal of the powerful families.

Liu Jing obviously learned the painful lessons of the decline of the Han Dynasty. Now it is just because he has not unified the world yet, and he still needs to compromise with local wealthy families like the Fei family. Once he seizes the world and settles the country, it is probably time for him to settle the general account. With Liu Jing's iron fist and will, I don't know how many wealthy families will be destroyed.

Jia Xu sighed secretly. He understood why Liu Jing told him so many things, especially the Fei family, just hoping that he would solve this difficult problem for him.

It is not easy to let the Fei family give up thousands of acres of fertile land, how should we persuade Fei Guan?

The next afternoon, Jia Xu seemed to be walking in the garden, and he was walking to Dongshi. Dongshi is located outside the East City gate. It is a large market alongside the West City, covering an area of ​​thousands of hectares. The West City faces the Western Regions, while the East City mainly faces the Han Dynasty.

The East City is as prosperous as the West City, and the types of goods are more abundant, including grain, tea, cattle, sheep, livestock, jewelry, porcelain, silk, cloth, bronze, iron and other bulk materials and luxurious and expensive goods. Many Hu merchants in the Western Regions sell goods in the West City, and go to the East City to purchase goods, mainly silk and porcelain.

On the westernmost street in the east city is the concentration of jewelry selling, which is concentrated in dozens of large and small jewelry stores. A large shop covering an area of ​​ten acres is the largest jewelry store in Chang'an, Baibaozhai, which is the Fei family's industry.

Jia Xu walked up the steps with his hands behind his back and entered the store. The two friends who were receiving at the door saw that he was black and thin, old, wearing a fine linen green cloth robe and a white-washed flat towel. The two friends immediately felt contemptuous. The guests who came to Baibaozhai were either rich or noble. What did this poor old man do?

They looked at each other and one of the guys stepped forward and smiled dryly, "Brother-in-law, have you gone to the wrong place?"

Jia Xu glanced at him, squinted his eyes and asked, "Then where do you think I should go?"

"There is a Fenglong jewelry store at the intersection, and I think that's where my father-in-law wants to go."

Fenglong Jewelry Store only sells some silver and copper jewelry, which is very cheap. It is targeting the lower-class people in Chang'an. This is obviously a ridiculous mockery of Jia Xu's poverty and ignorance. Jia Xu has been living for a long time and has seen too much of this snobbery. He is not angry and still smiled and said, "I'm here to find your shopkeeper Feng, is he here?"

The two guys were startled and asked carefully: "Can your father-in-law be the relative of my shopkeeper?"

"I am not his relative, I am here to pay him something. If you two are willing to do it for you, I can give it to you."

Jia Xu took out the jade box and handed it to a friend, "I won't go in, so you won't be able to rush me to Fenglong Jewelry Store."

Both of them knew the goods. Although they didn't know what was inside the jade box, they just saw that the jade box was crystal clear and fine. It was obviously carved from good jade. They were shocked and quickly stopped Jia Xu, "Brother-in-law, please stay. It is best to leave this precious thing to the shopkeeper, we dare not take over."

A guy rushed in. After a moment, Feng Yi, the shopkeeper of Baibaozhai, hurried over. He was a knowledgeable person. Although he did not know Jia Xu, he recognized the jade box in Jia Xu's hand. It was the thing he gave Jia Ji at noon yesterday. Inside were fifty pearls worth a thousand gold. He immediately guessed who the old man was.

He hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Can the old man be Jia Ge?"

Jia Xu nodded, "I am Jia Xu!"

The two men were so scared that they almost fainted. The old man turned out to be the elder of the Han Kingdom, Jia Xu, whom the King of Han would respect him. The two men slapped themselves in the mouth and begged, "We have no eyes and beg the elders to forgive us for being rude."

Jia Xu smiled faintly and said, "I am so old, of course I won't take such trivial matters to heart. But I kindly remind you that Princess Tao also wears cloth skirts and silver hairpins. Don't rush her to Fenglong Jewelry Store as well."

The two men were so scared that their faces were pale. The shopkeeper Feng glared at them fiercely, then bowed to Jia Xu and smiled, "Please sit in the inner hall for a while, let me explain the reason for this jade box."

Of course, Jia Xu came for something, so he nodded and smiled, "Okay, I heard that your tea here is good, so I disturbed the shopkeeper."
