Chen Xu firmly believed that if he was anxious, he could jump over the wall. Even with the support of the emperor, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, he could not completely offend any class. Mr. Su bought his son from the imperial prison with 50,000 taels of silver. Chen Xu realized for the first time that kidnapping was a promising profession, but he could not forget that he was still an official, and even if he cheated others, he would be willing to cheat others.

"Mr. Su is so noble, why is Ling Lang a person planning to rebel? Chen has made people investigate clearly that Ling Lang has no connection with Fang Hong's rebellion."

"Mr. Chen is very clear, but Mr. Su is grateful." Looking at Chen Xu's smiley face that deserves to be beaten, Mr. Su said this with his grim words.

"Who uses you to be a good person?" Mr. Su didn't appreciate it. He pointed at Chen Xu's nose and cursed, "Father..."

Chen Xu was very reluctant, "Mr. Su, even if the son wants to abuse me, he can't call me father."

Mr. Su's facial muscles twitched, and he glared at the dog fiercely. The 50,000 silver bills were really wronged; Mr. Su didn't know how to observe his words and expressions. He continued the words just now, "Father, he is just a beast..."

Chen Xu once again intercepted Mr. Su's words, and he took it out of context, "Mr. Su, this is your fault. Your father was worried about you. How could he be a beast?"

Mr. Su was so angry that he kicked his dog, but he sighed in his heart that his son was scheming with Chen Xu. This was simply a lantern in the pit - looking for shit (death).

"You...you..." Young Master Su was almost so angry that he vomited blood, "You...you made Fairy Qingtan's belly bigger, I...I and you are not finished."

"The fairy Qingtan's belly is really not big now. I promise." Chen Xu was not angry. The more popular Qingtan is in the world and the temple, the more fulfilling he feels. The fairy who was exiled to the world without clothes is the most beautiful. Tonight we have to try "Pretty Guanyin Sitting on the Lotus" to experience the scenery of five thousand years; Chen Xu did not speak, but Mr. Su was furious. Because Fairy Qingtan, a woman who can be seen from afar but cannot be played with, his son actually caused him to spend 50,000 taels of silver. This prodigal son really deserves the silver in the family.

"Come here!"

Mr. Su glared at Chen Xu hatefully. He had just walked to his father, but Mr. Su's actions were as expected. He just kicked his feet, which made him completely useless for those steps just now.

After giving a sweet date, Chen Xu had already reached a state of excellence in playing with this hand. Mr. Su paid an additional 10,000 taels of silver for his son's behavior and reciprocate his favor. Chen Xu later asked someone to issue him a treasury bond of 60,000 yuan.

Chen Xu is both purposeful and utilitarian in doing this. He forced himself to associate loyal ministers and filial sons with the purchase of national debts. Mr. Su bought national debts, such a person who is devoted to the country. How could his dog son be a traitor?

Chen Xu's reason may be absurd, but for those parents whose children were in the imperial prison, they were afraid that he would not be absurd. Mr. Su dared to be the first in the world. They followed suit, you 100,000 yuan, I 80,000 yuan, pay the bank with one hand and take the son with the other. Basically, everyone would choose to call his son over and kick him back. For a woman who can only see and cannot touch, this is a very messy thing. Not to mention 100,000 yuan, how many women can you buy for 100,000 yuan...

Chen Xu counted the silver bills while chatting and laughing, and his hands were cramped. In a short period of time, he accumulated nearly ten million taels of silver. Such a huge amount of wealth could almost be used to offset the fiscal revenue of Dayan in two to three years.

After listening to Chen Xu's report, the orthodox emperor was a little unbelievable. The country's finances were in a tight position. Even if the royal family had to save money, Chen Xu could use a small plan to accumulate so much money. Is Da Yan really poor? If this continues, the country will be in danger, and Da Yan will be in danger.

Chen Xu also knew the court's flaws. Reforms may be able to alleviate the country's financial crisis, but now it is out of place. As for when it is appropriate, he cannot figure out that this issue involves too much. If there is a drastic reform, the entire ruling class of Dayan may be his enemy.

As a modern person, he knew that until a common sense, no reformer would end up, such as Shang Yang, the Six Gentlemen of Wuxu...

No matter what, if you have enough silver to prepare for war, as for the government bonds issued, tomorrow will be worrying, let alone those big landlords and wealthy merchants who paid the money, they don’t think that the bond can be exchanged for silver. The country owes individual money? This is simply a joke.

Chen Xu was still aware of flexibility, but his father-in-law and the left censor Qin Zheng of the dynasty, went straightforwardly. His memorial impeachment of the annexation of land by the gentry in the wealthy areas of Jiangnan caused an uproar in the court. Chen Xu used to only know that Dayan had land annexation, but he did not know that this situation had developed to the point of shaking the foundation of the country.

More than half of the tax-paying land in Dayan was occupied by the landlord class and then refused to pay taxes. Even the Hang Kong Temple, which is known as the orthodox of the rivers and lakes, also has no less than a thousand hectares of land under its name.

Although the orthodox emperor was already over thirty years old, he could be called "Xiaobai" politically. Thinking about the money that Chen Xu had "gathered", he was not only furious, but also strictly investigated it but was opposed by the entire court. The emperor's imperial edict was returned. As the first person to "dare to take the lead", Qin Zheng was also dismissed from office for "slandering, chaotic politics, and chaotic ancestral system."

On the last day of September, Chen Xu finished his official duties, and at dusk, he took Mengyao to visit his father-in-law's family.

"Come?" Qin Zheng's attitude was a little cold, and there was a fierce confrontation in the court. As a new high-ranking official in the court and the most powerful minister of the dynasty, Chen Xu did not say anything for his father-in-law, and Qin Zheng had quite a complaint about this.

"I have met Shangshu Chen." Qin Zheng wanted to greet Chen Xu in a decent manner.

Chen Xu hurriedly supported Qin Zheng, and he scratched his head helplessly, "My father-in-law, are you still blaming your son-in-law?"

Qin Zheng snorted, and he said, "How dare you!" He paused, and said, "The title of father-in-law will not be mentioned again in the future. Lord Chen is the husband of the princess of the current dynasty..."

"Dad..." Mengyao shouted dissatisfied.

Qin Zheng shouted loudly to his daughter, "Shut up!"

Qin Guan was startled and was about to cry with a grin. Liu hurriedly said, "Master, don't get angry with the child if you don't feel happy."

Qin Zheng just snorted, he stopped talking. Liu knew that Chen Xu and the other two had not eaten yet, so she arranged to prepare the wine and dishes. Chen Xu pinched Mengyao's little hand, and he said to Qin Zheng, "Father-in-law, yesterday, it was not the son-in-law who did not agree with your point of view, but you are too impatient."

"I'm impatient?" Qin Zheng asked curiously. The officialdom has been ups and downs for nearly twenty years, but in front of Chen Xu, he did not have the sense of superiority as a person who has experienced it. On the contrary, he truly admired the talent and insight of this son-in-law.

"Dayan is like a weak patient, and she is not replenished. You have set a secret to tigers and wolves. This will not only not eliminate stubborn diseases, but will aggravate the condition or even die." Chen Xu said while organizing the language, "What's more urgent now is not internal troubles but external troubles. Once the war breaks out, the son-in-law will definitely not be able to turn against the civil and military officials of the court, otherwise they will disobey the battle and lose before the war begins."

"Oh!" Chen Xu's words were exchanged for Qin Zheng's sigh...

After dinner, before Chen Xu and Mengyao bid farewell, Qin Zheng and his wife called Mengyao to the room.

"Mengyao..." Qin Zheng looked at Liu again and said to him, "Mengyao, you have been married to the Chen Mansion for a while. Whether it is Qingtan Fairy or Qiuyue, one of them gave birth to Lin'er and the other was pregnant, so you should hurry up."

Mengyao felt the urge to cry when she heard this. She had already grabbed it, but she just didn't get pregnant.

"Princess Sirou is a foregone conclusion to marry Chen Xu. If you can't give birth to a child before the princess enters the door, there is still a place for you to live in the house?" Since he opened up, Qin Zheng also intervened, "Although you are the wife of Chen Xu's matchmaker, when the princess enters the door, you are at best a maid - the princess is not allowed to take concubines - you have been willful since childhood and do not know how to compromise. If the princess can't tolerate you, where should you go?"

Mengyao was silent. She was just worried that she could not have children. After listening to her father and others, the worries in her heart became more and more. On the way home, the two rode together. Chen Xu hugged Mengyao's waist and thought about what happened these days. Suddenly, he felt the cold wetness on the back of his hands. It was raining? Chen Xu looked up and looked around and realized that it was Mengyao's tears.

"What's wrong? I can't think about it after being scolded by your father. My daughter has a broad mind."

Chen Xu deliberately looked at Mengyao's chest and preached, but Mengyao was unmoved. She asked, "Pretty... Master, can you stay in Mengyao's room tonight?"

Chen Xu was speechless. He wanted to know what his father-in-law and mother-in-law said to Mengyao so that she thought of going to bed. Mengyao saw that Chen Xu was silent, not only was she anxious, "Qingtan has given birth to a child, Qiuyue is still big, so it would be a waste for you to accompany them at night."

"Waste...waste?!" Chen Xu widened his eyes...

On the first day of October, before dawn, Xing'er, who was sleeping outside in Mengyao's room, heard a rapid knock on the door.

Xing'er didn't sleep well last night. In the first half of the night, her ears were filled with the blushing and heartbeat sounds of the lady - some people said this was called a lewd voice - she imagined the scene of her son-in-law tossing the lady, and in the second half of the night, she was yelling that she was a lady. The son-in-law treated her like a lady, in a daze, and she seemed to be sleeping but not sleeping. The son-in-law was shocked by the sound of knocking on the door.

Xing'er hurriedly changed her clothes, and only then did she find out that a military newspaper asked her son-in-law to take a look.

Yesen finally decided to go south. He divided his troops into two groups, one by Xuanfu attacking Juyong Pass to achieve the goal of confusing the public; the other by Yesen personally led the main force to go straight to Zijing Pass through Datong with the force of a fierce tiger down the mountain.

Han Qing, the commander of the Zijing Pass, died in battle. Sun Xiang, the right deputy commander of the garrison, defended him. Under the leadership of the eunuch Xining, Yexian secretly crossed the mountains and detoured the Nanguan, and fought a decisive battle with the Yan army at Zijing Pass.

Due to the huge disparity in strength, Sun Xiang died in battle and the Zijing Pass was broken.
