What kind of regulations the royal family will come up with is not something Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo can interfere with.

Either the prince will work harder and give birth to a healthy son, or he will really consider the issue of an heir. No matter which one the royal family finally chooses, the emperor and the prince must act according to their own wishes, not some ambitions

The family secretly promotes it.

Therefore, Zhao Mo had to continue running errands for the emperor and the prince, not only to gain seniority and meritorious service, but also to eliminate the negative impact on him caused by his father Zhao Shuo's involvement in the case.

Qin Hanzhen felt that it was really unfortunate for Zhao Mo to have such a father. He was not smart in the first place, and he was also conceited, insisting on getting involved in major events that he was not capable of participating in.

Qin Hanzhen had some doubts. Zhao Shuo lost his mother when he was young, and was not favored by his father. He was also regarded as a thorn in the side of his stepmother. Before the emperor decreed the canonization, he might not even be able to be crowned prince, so he

It is estimated that he did not receive a good education, and his temperament also had many unsatisfactory qualities. Otherwise, the step-concubine of the Liao king and her two sons were not particularly smart and capable people. The status of the prince was not determined by the personal wishes of the Liao king.

Yes, Zhao Shuo had both the direct lineage and the eldership, and had an advantage in etiquette. He was originally the court's preferred choice for heir apparent, but he was still forced to have almost no way of survival, and could only sneak away to the capital to struggle for survival. This shows that he has great talents.

How mediocre, compared to other clan members, I'm afraid it's just that he's not a dandy.

The emperor once had hope for this nephew, right? In the past, he gave him a lot of things to do, so that he could establish himself in the capital without returning to Liaodong. At that time, the emperor did not think about anything that could not be passed on.

He just wanted to find a helper in the clan for himself and the prince, and to cultivate a practical talent. Unexpectedly, the Wang family stepped in, and this plan came to nothing. If Zhao Shuo had not been coaxed into a coma by the Wang family, he returned to Liaodong

He forced his wife to death, abandoned his son, returned to the capital to marry the daughter of the Wang family, and embarked on the road to fight for the throne of the emperor. His future is probably much brighter than it is now.

He will still have his position as the crown prince, and it will be more stable than now; he will also have the holy family, just as he was valued by the emperor when he first came to Beijing; he will also have power, and will never be idle or even as idle as now.

It is the military power of Liaodong, so he may not be unable to get involved. With the endorsement of the imperial court, it will not be difficult for him to get involved. In addition, he will also have a gentle and virtuous first wife, and a smart and handsome eldest son.

, maybe there will be one or two trouble-free concubines, cute and cute concubines, and more legitimate sons and daughters. He will have his own connections, and he will also have his own wealth and industry. In fact, he has

Through the opportunity to gain power and happiness at the same time.

Zhao Shuo took the wrong path but didn't know it. He had no love for his son and was jealous instead. He told him the truth and analyzed the situation of the court for him, but he broke his glass heart and was used by him in the name of filial piety.

Oppression. This kind of person can no longer be saved, but he cannot die with a stigma attached to him, lest it affect Zhao Mo's reputation. This is really troublesome.

Qin Han really thought about it and asked Zhao Mo tentatively: "What do you think of our Qin family's great-uncle?"

Zhao Mo was startled: "Are you talking about Marquis Chengen? What happened to him?"

Qin Hanzhen said: "There's nothing wrong with him. He's just stayed at home for many years, living a life of drunkenness and dreaming. He hardly even left the courtyard. The whole family treated him as if he didn't exist, and people outside also acquiesced.

He wants to 'rest' and will not come to disturb him. In fact, everyone already understands that he has lost his holy family and is banned at home. But he is living well and has not caused much trouble to his family.

If we don’t have the chance to go out and cause trouble, everyone will be less worried, right?”

Zhao Mo raised his eyebrows. He understood what Qin Hanzhen meant. To be honest, it wouldn't be a bad thing if Zhao Shuo could live a life like Cheng Enhou Qin Song. The question is, is Zhao Shuo willing? Is he willing?

Marquis Chengen has only a false title and no real power, but the Crown Prince of Liao will take over the power of the Prince of Liao sooner or later. The wives, sons, and Sun family around Chengenhou are all sensible people, and they cooperate to control him and prevent him from going out to cause trouble.

. But among the wives and subordinates around Zhao Shuo, which one is a fuel-efficient lamp? This time, the turmoil was caused by Xiao Wang's matchmaking for Zhao Shuo through her natal sisters. And the aunt Lan Xue who gave birth to a concubine was even more...

He is a person who secretly fears that the world will not be in chaos.

Zhao Mo didn't think he could live a life as worry-free as in Chengenhou Mansion. However, Qin Hanzhen's suggestion was a good one. He could work hard in this direction. When necessary, he didn't care whether

He has to spend all day with his father and stepmother. If he could be the master of the family, in order to control his father and stepmother, he would be willing to take them to Suning's palace to live, but it would just be to feed a few more people.

He was hundreds of miles away and worried all day long whether his father and stepmother in Beijing would cause him trouble again.

But that's all for later, Zhao Mo is still focusing on the matter of King Ning Hua.

He told Qin Hanzhen that while King Ninghua was planning his marriage, he was actually preparing for the future personal guards and Tibetan soldiers. At the junction of Gaoyang County and Suning County, King Ninghua secretly purchased a

The village was quite large, and some of the manpower, chariots and horses from Gaoyang County were transferred there. The village in Gaoyang County passed through the government, so naturally it couldn't be removed immediately. It would only make the government suspicious, thinking that they had some shady activities.

, will run away as soon as he gets official status. The name of the county prince sounds deceptive, but the prince's fiefdom is far away in western Fujian and his reputation is not well-known. He has neither the protection of the prince's father nor the holy family, and he has no influence on the Zhili area.

As far as officials are concerned, it does not pose much of a threat, let alone the fact that Zhuangzi’s nominal master is just the concubine of a late prince. A concubine, just a concubine. The Gaoyang County Magistrate happens to be a man who has seen the world and will not be

The names of these princes and concubines are intimidating.

Fortunately, King Ninghua had a lot of money, so he had the financial resources to build another large village on the border of Suning. This village is located in a remote area and occupies a large area. Because most of the land is saline-alkali land, the yield is very low, so the price

It's not expensive, not prosperous, and not eye-catching. King Ninghua chose this place just to facilitate the hiding of manpower. After opening up the road to Zhaomo County Prince's Mansion, he can also use the manpower hidden in Zhuangzi to Suning local people.

He had already taken care of the common people who had joined the Royal Guards, and even the county magistrate. He only had to wait for the manpower transfer to be completed before he could apply for household registration for them.

However, King Ninghua's life has been unlucky. Zhao Mo studied the method of controlling saline-alkali land and produced results last year. He reported the results to the emperor and the court, and would wait for the court to successfully test the seeds before promoting them. But he himself is not someone who just waits for others to come up with results.

He is a chronic man. He has a fiefdom, so he naturally wants to promote it on his own territory. If the produce is good, it can also increase his income. Therefore, before Zhao Mo went to Beijing last winter, he had already issued an order to the entire Suning County.

He ordered various places to take inventory of saline-alkali land and wasteland, and prepare to start planting some experimental salt-tolerant and drought-tolerant crops after the spring of this year. He plans to plant a batch of corn and sweet sorghum for trial first, and some medicinal materials and trees can also be expanded.

Trial planting area.

With Zhao Mo's good reputation in the fiefdom and his past experiences of conducting farm experiments, the people in Suning County have no objection to his orders, and the county prince's government has paid for the seeds, which is okay.

Renting cattle and farm tools to tenants, many farmers with spare energy have actively signed up to be tenants of the county prince's mansion. Among the farmers around Ninghua Wangzhuangzi, there are such people. There are also some in his own village.

A large area of ​​saline-alkali land is within the scope of experimental planting fields that are being inventoried locally.

Normally, no one would refuse such a good thing. Giving money, seeds, and livestock would also allow you to grow food in your wasteland. Those who refuse are fools. The local area was in line with what the people wanted, and King Ninghua was unable to advance or retreat.

.If the county prince is not allowed to use his land for trial planting, it will only arouse suspicion from others. If he wants to take advantage of himself and plant some common crops to hide from others, he will have to use the hands of those who do the dirty work to farm the land.

Now, what can they do? If they hire tenants or hired workers to farm, once outsiders enter the farm, the secrets of the farm will be leaked. And if they agree to use his land for trial planting, there will also be a risk of leaks.

.

King Ning Hua could only temporarily free up some of his manpower, pretending to be tenants to clean up his own land, saying that he wanted to try planting by himself, and refusing outsiders to enter the village. Although this method could temporarily prevent the secrets of the village from being leaked, it would not last long.

As a plan, if the output of the fields is not as good as that of the surrounding trial planting fields, sooner or later the people around him will mention the trial planting again, and will attract the attention of the people in Suning County to his village. How old is Suning? Zhao Mo sooner or later

He will know and then come to the door. Unless King Ning Hua subdues him early, he will definitely not be able to pass this level.

Zhao Mo smiled and said to Qin Hanzhen: "I have already told the emperor and the prince about the situation. In a few days, the magistrate of Suning County will be replaced. The way King Ning Hua originally opened up will not work. His manpower wants to

Settling down in Suning is just a daydream! Next, I want those people on his farm to become farmers and farm the land for me. I will also arrange manpower around his farm to monitor day and night. If anyone leaves the farm,

, then keep watching to see what shameful things they plan to do. The whole of Suning belongs to me, and everyone in the county is my eyes and ears. I am not afraid that his people will fly out of my hands!"

Qin Hanzhen asked: "What are these people likely to do? Does King Ninghua want to rebel or something? Doesn't he intend to adopt his son into the palace? Interfering with military power means that he will be hard if he can't do it softly.

Already?"

Zhao Mo nodded: "I also think that he wants to be courteous first and then fight. If the emperor and the prince successfully accept his son, then his manpower and military power will not be used. If the emperor and the prince disdain his son, he will not

Use thunderous means instead. But I think he may not have the courage. It is very possible

It's just a secret trick. Just like when the King of Qin found out that King Jin died of a serious illness and the crown prince of Jin was stranded in the capital, the Princess of Jin sent people to secretly assassinate the King of Qin. Whenever other members of the clan wanted to

In order to compete for the position of royal heir, King Ninghua will use insidious tactics to eliminate these people who are competing with his son.

But even if he intends to use underhanded tactics instead of outright rebellion, we cannot take it lightly. I can't tell how many people he has under his command, but just Gao Yang and Suning are the two people hiding in Zhuangzi.

, there are as many as five or six hundred, all young and strong. And according to the news reported by the people below, this is still

It is not all the manpower of King Ninghua. The village he built in Suning can accommodate at least three thousand people, and they do not even bring their families. There is also a caravan that will transport another group of people to him after the spring.

There are estimated to be one or two hundred people in this group. I recently heard this news from the person who was monitoring them."

Qin Han was really surprised: "So many people? Where did he find them?"

Zhao Mo's expression was somewhat meaningful: "I don't know, but that caravan is from central Sichuan."
