Volume Two, Chapter 56, Fighting the Domain King
Your Highness, King of Jin!
What the hell?
It’s not that Yang Cong didn’t know who the King of Jin was. The King of Jin was a descendant of Zhu Qi, the third son of Zhu Yuanzhang. In the early Ming Dynasty, he was one of the most powerful vassal kings except the King of Yan. His fief was in Taiyuan Prefecture. In the territory of Taiyuan Prefecture, Yangqu, Yuci, Taigu, Qixian, Qingyuan, Wenshui, Shouyang, Yunxian, Jingle, Hequ and other counties all had fiefs of the King of Jin. It can be said that most of the fertile land in the entire Taiyuan Prefecture belonged to the King of Jin.
But, what does this have to do with Chang Li?
The current vassal kings are different from the vassal kings in the early Ming Dynasty. Since the Yongle Dynasty, all vassal kings have been kept in their fiefdoms, and must not leave their fiefdoms, raise private troops, interfere in local affairs, and engage in the four industries of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. Logically speaking, the Jin Palace should not be in charge of the rich man Chang Li.
Yang Cong was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately. He asked coldly: "Have you devoted all the land in your hand to the Prince of Jin's Mansion?"
Chang Li said with a slight pride: "Yes, the land in the hands of the students has been dedicated to the King of Jin's Mansion, and the grain produced is also from the King of Jin's Mansion. If His Highness of Jin does not allow him to sell it, I cannot sell it."
What a bullshit to let you go, I'm an idiot!
Yang Cong said angrily: "Who are you trying to fool? The land you donate is only in the name of the Jin King's Mansion. Most of the grain produced is not yours. If you are the official, do you know what?"
Chang Li pretended to be helpless and said, "It is also His Highness of the King of Jin's name. His Highness of Jin's orders, how dare the students not listen? In this Taiyuan Prefecture, how many people dare not listen to His Highness of Jin!"
Damn, it's trouble now.
Although this old guy is a bit scoundrel, what he said is true. The local gentry in Taiyuan Prefecture is probably related to the King of Jin's Mansion, because if you donate your land to the King of Jin, you can exempt all the taxes and taxes. If anyone doesn't do such a good thing, it's a fool.
If the King of Jin's mansion is against him, let alone 100,000 s of grain, it is estimated that even 10,000 s of grain will not be able to buy 10,000 s of grain.
These days, the people don’t have much land in their hands, and they are almost all in the hands of these royal relatives and local gentry. For example, Xinzhou has two or three million mu of arable land. However, most of the people in Xinzhou are tenants, and they don’t have a mu of land at home. They can only work for local gentry to barely make a living.
Why?
It's very simple, because their land was annexed by these local tyrants and tyrants, and the local tyrants presented their land to the King of Jin's mansion.
It seems that it is useless to force this old guy, because he is not the person in charge and must negotiate with the King of Jin's Mansion.
These royal relatives are really troublesome. I don’t know how to enjoy the glory and wealth, and have to cause trouble everywhere and forcefully to rob one another. Do you really think that everyone is easy to bully?
Yang Cong thought for a while, then said coldly: "Tell the people from the Jin Palace that I am the son-in-law of Lord Lu Songlu, and the son of Lord Cui Yuan and Cui has also come. Let them send a manager to discuss with me. If you don't do it within three days, don't blame us for being rude."
My God, even the King of Jin's Mansion dares to threaten it, this guy is too awesome.
Now Chang Li finally realized that he was afraid. At first he thought Yang Cong was just a ignorant young man. Who knew that this guy was not even afraid of the royal prince. This guy seemed to be a real god. Crushing him to death would probably be like pinching an ant to death. He couldn't afford to offend him, so he quickly admitted his conscience.
Thinking of this, he nodded quickly and said, "Okay, okay, if you are an adult, the students will definitely bring you there."
Can Yang Cong really threaten the King of Jin’s Mansion?
It depends on what happened. If he clearly bullied the people of the King of Jin's Mansion and even threatened the King of Jin's life, the King of Jin would never compromise with him.
What a joke? No matter how hard King Jin is, he is a royal family member. Can he be bullied by an outsider like this?
However, this is different now. It is obvious that the King of Jin's mansion is going to bully people.
Nowadays, the vassal kings are not lawless. Everyone can bully them. When they encounter tough problems, there are not only one or two vassal kings that have been defeated.
Yang Cong’s meaning is very simple. Behind me, the emperor’s wet nurse and the emperor’s dear aunt, I ask if you are afraid.
If you are afraid, you can send someone to tell me, it depends on why you are trying to get along with me.
If you are not afraid, let’s just go and see!
Will the dignified King of Jin be afraid of him as the top scorer in the new subject?
Not to mention, the King of Jin Zhu Xinjun was really scared after receiving the news. He was not afraid of Yang Cong, but was afraid of the Li family and the eldest princess Yongkang behind Yang Cong. These two are the closest relatives of the emperor today. If they want them to go to the emperor and gossip, the emperor may really destroy him!
There are not many royal princes who were deposed, such as Zhu Su, the King of Zhou who was deposed during the reign of Emperor Jianwen, Zhu Gui, the King of Dai, Zhu Bai, the King of Xiang, Zhu Ju, the King of Qi, Zhu Ju, the King of Min, Zhu Ju, the King of Qi who was conferred and deposed in the Yongle Dynasty, and Zhu Sui, the King of Gu who was demoted to a commoner.
Why are these people deposed? They are too arrogant? More importantly, they offended too many people, so that some people went to the emperor to sue the emperor. Otherwise, how could the emperor of the dynasty know that they were arrogant, Emperor Jianwen, and Emperor Chengzu of Ming Dynasty could not have come to watch them personally, and what they did was not sued by others.
When King Zhu Xinjun of Jin heard Yang Cong mention Cui Yuan and Lu Song, he understood that this guy was threatening him and asking him to sue him for his crime.
Well, he was indeed a little scared to sue the emperor, so he sent someone to talk. In desperation, he could only send Zhou Feng, the left chief of the palace, to talk to him.
The chief of the royal palace was also a fifth-rank official registered by the Ministry of Personnel. Yang Cong was very polite to others. He personally welcomed Cui Feng into the lobby and ordered someone to present fragrant tea. Then he introduced politely: "Mr. Zhou, this is the Prince of the Marquis of Jingshan, Cui Hao, who is currently the Governor of the Governor's Office of the Later Army."
Cui Hao, who was sitting aside, bowed politely when he heard this, and said, "Mr. Zhou, I'm glad to meet you, I'll glad to meet you."
Fortunately, Ni Nai is so patient. You two little bastards are amazing. Even His Highness King Jin dares to threaten them.
Zhou Feng secretly complained, but on the surface he replied politely, and then asked with a smile: "Mr. Yang, I wonder what the hell is there to ask me?"
You're still embarrassed to ask.
Yang Cong was too lazy to talk to him, so he simply pointed out: "It's nothing big. I just heard that your Prince Jin's Mansion seems to have a misunderstanding with your father. I don't know what the hell is."
This means it is clear.
It was clear that it was clear, and Zhou Feng said calmly: "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that some of the land that Ling Zun bought was something that our prince had liked before."
Damn, it turns out that I wanted to force my father away and take away the land in my father's hands. I haven't seen the money before, so what's wrong? Is it a total of two or three thousand acres of land in my father's hands now? Are you short of this land?
Yang Cong couldn't help but mocked: "It seems that my father only has two or three thousand acres of land in total. Can Prince Li like this little bit of flirting?"
Zhou Feng said slowly, "Mr. Yang, you don't know the difficulties of the royal palace. After all, there are so many people in the royal palace to support it. You can eat more food with a little more land."
