...

On March 12, Yuanzhou City, the backyard of the Governor's Office...

Wu Sidao held a newspaper in his hand and trotted all the way to the backyard of the Governor's Mansion and came to the newly built garden.

Two pretty maids in the inner room wearing beige silk silk shirts sat on the ground, holding a quaint carved wooden box in their hands. In front of a strange plant, Jiang Ze, dressed in gardener's clothes, was carefully trimming its branches.

The decoration of the garden is extremely elegant, and the fragrant aroma inside is thrilling, making Wu Sidao instinctively intoxicated.

Jiang Ze’s preference is to prune flowers, plants and plants when he is free to calm down and relieve the pressure brought by official business.

After a long time, Wu Sidao held the newspaper in his hand and said to Jiang Ze: "Governor General, this is the new Far East Times. Can you check it out?"

When Jiang Ze heard this, he did not stop his work, but said carelessly: "You read it to me and see what Liu Ce's son is doing this time..."

Wu Sidao said: "Governor, you should check it out for yourself. Liu Ce is about to open a government office and is now recruiting officials in the newspaper..."

Jiang Ze was slightly stunned and said calmly: "As a marquis, he has to take into account the important positions on the border to prevent Hu Nu from going south. The establishment of the government office was also expected to be granted by the court. There is nothing to make a fuss about.

As for the complicated practices that need to be handled by recruiting officials and establishing government offices, it is reasonable. However, Liu Ce was born into a commoner, how many people would go to dangerous places in the border town to serve?"

Wu Sidao said: "I'm afraid this time the opening of the government is different from the past. The newspaper stated that all scholars and commoners can go to Jizhou for scientific and technological examination officers. Once hired, the vocational land bill will be implemented immediately. All eighth to fourth ranks can obtain different lands according to their official ranks..."

"Jidian Tian Fa?" Jiang Ze murmured softly and said in confusion, "What is this new law? Why has this governor never heard of it before?"

Wu Sidao said: "Reporting to the Governor, I have only heard of this law of field. It seems that any official who reaches the eighth rank can obtain a fixed salary from the Military Governor's Office for rent and taxes, which can start at least 100 acres.

However, the land still belongs to the Military Governor's Office and cannot be sold privately, otherwise it will be severely punished. Once it is relocated or resigned, the land under its original name will begin to change and be redistributed by the Military Governor's Office."

Jiang Ze frowned, put down the scissors in his hand, turned around and asked Wu Sidao, "Who came up with the idea of ​​this Tianfa?"

Wu Sidao shook his head: "I don't know, but I heard that it was promoted by Qin Mo..."

"Qin Mo, Qin Mo, remembered that it was the abandoned son of the Qin family in Yanzhou Province. I have heard of this person. In the early years, he organized the rebel army to resist Hu Nu, but later the rebel army failed and was expelled from the family. He walked with Ye Bin with a sword in the north and south. He was also quite famous, with the reputation of a gentleman, Confucian hero..."

Jiang Ze muttered a few times when he heard this, then walked to the steps between the two maids and sat down.

"It seems that Jiang Xun's son-in-law still has some talents..." Jiang Ze sighed and said, "This vocational field method is simply a good way to win people's hearts. Once it is implemented,

I am afraid that those children of aristocratic families who have shallow knowledge will all go to Liu Ce’s place with mercy. By then, the days when we, the prominent families and the royal family, rule the world together will come to an end..."

Wu Sidao nodded and agreed with Jiang Ze's words: "What the Lord said is very true, and this is exactly what the humble post is worried about. I also ask the Governor to be careful, otherwise it will be too late and the hearts of this person will go to his place..."

"Yes, people's hearts have run away..." Jiang Ze muttered, his eyes widened, "Now the situation in various parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty is in danger, and anything may be about to break out. If someone takes this opportunity to really do something, the court is afraid it will be powerless..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Ze hooked his finger at Wu Sidao and signaled him to get closer. Then he sighed and continued to say to him: "This governor has prepared a good response, all of which are in the study of the Governor's Office.

I originally wanted to wait until the governor gained a foothold in the Far East before implementing it together, but my niece and son-in-law had to act according to the rules, so I had to let me teach him how to be a good member of the scholar family. No matter who it is, as long as I enter my Jiang family's door, I have to follow the rules of the Jiang family..."

Wu Sidao frowned when he heard this: "Governor General, will you be too impatient? Why not have a good talk with the Marquis of Hanling? If the trouble is too stiff, you will be afraid of humble positions..."

"What's there to be afraid of?" Jiang Ze interrupted Wu Sidao, holding the scissors in his hand and gesturing at him, "This Hanling Marquis doesn't take this governor seriously at all. If he doesn't give him some tricks, he's afraid he won't know how much he has."

Wu Sidao nodded. He thought about it carefully and found that this is the same. Judging from the current actions of the Military Governor's Office, it is only a matter of time to turn against the Governor's Office.

But now that Jiang Ze has just taken office, people's hearts are urgently facing Liu Ce before they have stabilized. Wu Sidao thinks it is necessary to consider it carefully. After all, Liu Ce is a powerful faction with military power. Even if he really has a handle, he may not care...

"Follow me to the study. This governor has drafted a new Far East Law. You can take a closer look at what else needs to be changed. If there is no objection, it will be promulgated in the city tomorrow and then sent to the entire Far East..."

Jiang Ze threw the scissors into the plate of the maid behind him, stood up and walked to the study of the Governor's Mansion with Wu Sidao.

“Wow wow wow wow…”

As they passed by the back porch, a girl cried into Jiang Ze and Wu Sidao's ears. They looked at each other, but saw a woman in a beautiful light shirt holding a girl under two years old, paced back and forth to comfort her.

This woman was Cui Yingxin, who was pregnant with Li Suwen at the time and was later sent to Far East to marry Liu Ce. The girl in her arms was the flesh and blood born to Li Suwen, and was named Li Xin.

Since Liu Ce refused to marry, Cui Yingxin was homeless. Fortunately, Jiang Xun and his wife felt sorry for her, so they kept her in the Governor's Mansion. For the past two years, she has lived in the Governor's Mansion, and food, clothing, housing and transportation were provided by Jiang Xun and Shi Yunlan, without any grievance.

However, Jiang Xun and his wife were going back to Suzhou Prefecture, Jiang Ze could no longer take her with them, so they could only entrust Jiang Ze to take care of her.

Unfortunately, Jiang Ze has no good feelings for such a woman who is not married and has other plans in his heart, besides verbal agreement.

"snort……"

Looking at Cui Yingxin and her daughter, Jiang Ze's expression instantly became extremely gloomy, and finally she even snorted with a light snort.

When he was young, Jiang Ze whispered: "Why do such a woman who is unfaithful and still has the face to live in this world? Shouldn't she be poisoned to drink wine and take self-destruction for three-foot white silk?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Sidao bowed and replied, "Governor General, why not let his subordinates take care of her for you?"

Jiang Ze did not reply when he heard this, but just stared at Cui Yingxin for a while, then shook his head: "Forget it, after all, I promised my brother that I would give her a way out..."

After a pause, Jiang Ze suddenly said, "But such a woman can no longer live in the Governor's Mansion, so as not to dirty my reputation as the Jiang family. I have to find an excuse to drive her out with the evil seed in my arms!"

Wu Sidao replied: "Don't worry, Governor, I will handle this matter well..."

Jiang Ze stopped and said, "The supervisor of Liang Wen has already arranged such small matters. You can go with me to the study to do the main business..."

"yes……"

Wu Sidao responded and followed Jiang Ze toward his study.

As soon as the two of them arrived at the entrance of the study, they saw Jiang Ze’s housekeeper waiting outside the door. When they saw Jiang Ze, they quickly ran to him and whispered: “Master, Bu Yuan, the prefect of Dongjun, is waiting outside the mansion and ordered someone to send a generous gift. Please check it out..." As they said that, the housekeeper handed a gold-inlaid gift to Jiang Ze.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ze looked at the golden post and just sneered, and did not take it: "This Bu Yuan, he can't get up early without any profit. Go back and tell him that his intentions are known. Let him take back all the things and come back tomorrow..."

After talking, Jiang Ze and Wu Sidao walked into the study together.

As soon as he entered the study, Jiang Ze saw a young man in his twenties sitting in front of his desk, burying his head in front of the table, as if he was holding up a pen and writing something.

This young man is Jiang Ze's second son, Jiang Pu.

"What are you doing? Who asked you to enter my study!"

Jiang Ze shouted loudly, and Jiang Pu trembled all over, and even the brush in his hand fell on the table. The ink dipped in hair splashed all over the table.

"Children... Meet my father... Meet, Mr. Wu..."

Jiang Pu hurriedly came to Jiang Ze timidly and bowed to him. Due to his inner fear, he stuttered in his words.

"You haven't answered me yet! What are you doing here!" Jiang Ze ignored Jiang Pu's posture and still shouted at him, "How many times have I told you! I'm not allowed to enter the study without my permission. I have forgotten it after just a few days in Yuanzhou! Kneel down!"

Jiang Pu instinctively knelt on the ground, and the sweat dripped from his forehead like rain, instantly wetting the floor in front of him. He tried hard to roll his Adam's apple a few times before he plucked up the courage to say to Jiang Ze:

"Father, my child is just learning some policy management here so that he can share his father's worries in the future..."

When Jiang Ze heard this, his face darkened, then he raised his feet and kicked him to the ground, angrily shouting: "You waste can still share my worries? Look, if you don't cause trouble for me like this, you will burn the incense.

What do you think I can count on you? Things that are not enough to do without success are annoying. Every time I see you, I feel upset. I really shouldn’t have given birth to you!”

After saying that, Jiang Ze shook his sleeves and ignored Jiang Pu who was lying on the ground. He came to his desk with Wu Sidao. Looking at the messy table, he was even more angry and grabbed an inkstone and smashed it hard at Jiang Pu.

"Bang……"

With a light sound, Jiang Pu couldn't avoid it. He was hit by the inkstone on his forehead, and a blood bag suddenly appeared, and even the remaining ink in the inkstone sprinkled his face.

"I really don't know what you're doing every day!"

Jiang Ze's loud shout sounded in the study again. He pointed at Jiang Pu with an angry look on his face. He curled the paper written by Jiang Pu into a ball and threw it hard on the ground without caring about the injuries on his forehead.

Faced with Jiang Ze's anger, Jiang Pu ignored his injuries and let the bloodstains slide down his cheeks. He knelt in front of him and bowed his head to beg for mercy: "Don't calm down, the child knows that he is wrong..."

"It's over if you know the mistake?" Jiang Ze obviously didn't plan to let Jiang Pu go like this. "If an apology can cover up your mistake, what's the use of law? Today, we have to use family law to punish you so that you can remember..."

When Jiang Pu heard this, he looked extremely frightened on his face, but he didn't have the courage to beg for mercy again, so he could only kneel on the ground and tremble.

Wu Sidao, who was beside Jiang Ze, couldn't stand it anymore and begged Jiang Ze for Jiang Pu: "Governor General, Mr. Ling did not intend it. According to his subordinates' opinions, let's spare him this time?"

"No!" Jiang Ze flatly refused, "No matter who it is, since he has made a mistake, he has to pay the price! If I let this evil go today, I may do something that harms my Jiang family's interests in the future. Don't think that he is my son and can be a good friend!"

Speaking of this, Jiang Ze yelled outside the study again: "Liang Wen!"

Liang Wen, another butler who was waiting outside the door, immediately entered the study and nodded and bent down at Jiang Ze: "Master, what's the matter?"

Jiang Ze pointed at Jiang Pu and said, "Drag this bastard to the backyard, strip off his clothes, and whip twenty!"

"Yes, Master!"

When Liang Wen heard this, he responded calmly, then called two servants and roughly raised Jiang Pu to drag him out of the study room. Jiang Pu was already scared and looked pale, and his whole body seemed to have been exhausted, and he was at the mercy of the servants.

"Remember to summon everyone to the backyard and let them see what the consequences would be if they violate the family rules and regulations! By the way, tell them that the current Governor's Office is different from before!"

When he was about to come, Jiang Ze did not forget to add a sentence to Liang Wen, which made Wu Sidao frown on the side, and said to himself: Jiang Pu is too honest and cowardly, and there is no fault in any other way. Although he is not as smart and active as the two brothers Jiang Song and Jiang Bo, he has never lost the demeanor of the family...

After all, isn’t Jiang Pu’s pussy too tight today? He didn’t treat him as his biological child at all.
