From De'an to Shaonan, all the land belongs to the Cheng family. To be precise, it belongs to Cheng Jinzhou. Now, real rice is grown in these places, and villagers come to inspect them. Even the official land that should belong to the imperial court was occupied by the Cheng family without a word, and the people did not raise officials. Moreover, most of the local officials were inextricably linked to the Cheng family.

The carriage was driving on a newly built road. It was a loess road built by someone who didn't know who Cheng Jinzhou was. It was flat and wide, meeting the standards of the government.

Although Yi Su was dissatisfied with Cheng Jinzhou's disregard for him, he still praised him: "If you spend hundreds of years here, you can really increase the value of the entire planet."

"You said it." Cheng Jinzhou was not interested in what would happen a few hundred years later. Regardless of whether he was 15 or 25 years old, he always looked at his current age.

The carriage swayed and moved smoothly. Gentlemen on the same road, whenever they see the blue flag of the Cheng family, they will stop on the roadside and wait for it to pass by. Let Xiaocheng enjoy the treatment of the expressway.

Before he arrived in Shaonan, the stewards of the Cheng family and Shaonan officials would naturally come to greet him.

The current magistrate of Shaonan has been replaced by the original long history Cheng Yunquan. His bloodline is a bit distant, but it is better than some family members who are unlearned and unskilled.

In addition, being distantly related by blood has another benefit - humility.

For example, now, Mr. Cheng Yunquan will personally come to greet Cheng Jinzhou outside the city. If it were someone with a close blood relationship and a strong background, he might show the reserve of a magistrate for the sake of face. But it's really not a good idea to be reserved in front of the magistrate of De'an County.

Cheng Jinzhou did not show his anxiety, and like a true nobleman, he stepped off the carriage on the back of a servant, then greeted Cheng Yunquan with his hands in his hands, and said in a joking manner: "Good morning, Lord Zhizhou, Uncle Huafu is here ?"

Cheng Huafu is the bishop of the Shaonan Holy Church. He is responsible for the general affairs of the Holy Church in Shaonan and nearby areas. He is also a chess piece arranged by the Cheng family in the Holy Church. Just like most noble families, everyone makes their bets as much as possible. This ensures that you will not lose money - those with vested interests may not necessarily have strong aggressiveness, but they have a strong desire to maintain the status quo. They will be more conservative at the gambling table where they have to participate.

"Let's do alms outside the city." Cheng Yunquan gestured backward, and naturally some people ran to find Cheng Huafu.

"Let's go to the church and wait." Cheng Jinzhou said in an imperative tone. Although Cheng Yunquan is his elder, the difference in status between the two parties is so great that in public situations, position has become a prerequisite. According to the tradition of the nobility, title and seniority are actually higher than position, but that was in under similar circumstances.

Cheng Yunquan made a gesture to invite Cheng Jinzhou to get on the carriage. The latter shook his head, rode on Lu Xu, and explained: "I am worshiping the morning light, and it is best to use the star array."

As he spoke, he jumped into the air, and then his whole body lit up with golden light, a standard sign of the coming sacrifice.

The local church in Shaonan is not big or small. It was under the jurisdiction of Father Li Zhong back then, and now it is within Cheng Jinzhou's sphere of influence, so it has developed rapidly.

In fact, due to the dominance of the Great Xia Star Warlock Association and the secret opposition of the government, it is not easy for the church to successfully recruit believers. For example, Chen Jie had to take risks because he secretly joined the Holy Church. The temple in Shaonan has developed so rapidly that it is one of the best in the entire Great Xia.

They now have the third largest building complex and the fourth largest number of people in the entire city. The only one that can surpass them is the Star Warlock Association, which is the Cheng family.

After hearing the news, nearly 20 priests in white robes came out of the room and lined up neatly, waiting for Cheng Jinzhou to arrive.

Classmate Xiao Cheng flew very slowly and arrived together with Cheng Yunquan. Before landing, he heard the deafening hymn playing.

In addition to the priests, there were more boys singing hymns in unison. Many of them were recently recruited by the church - to save orphans and give them correct teachings, they have always been the church's support. Good policy in times of poverty and weakness.

In Daxia's temple, it can be said to be poor and weak.

"Jinzhou, I will send you here and I will go back." Cheng Yunquan did not want to enter the gate of the church to avoid being impeached by the censor.

From top to bottom of the court, countless eyes were watching. The current honor of the Cheng family is different from that of those senior civil servants who dominate the world with one hand. For example, the high-ranking officials of Zhengshitang and their families in the fish and meat village expanded their base, and the entire aristocratic class and the civil service group regarded it as welfare. However, when it came to the Cheng family, the civil service group and the aristocratic class spared no effort to attack with words. Anyway, the law Don't blame everyone, although His Majesty the Emperor has some self-awareness and will not trouble Cheng Jinzhou, he is happy to hear about the impeachment of the Cheng family.

"Uncle, wait a moment. You are familiar with the army and can be of help." Cheng Jinzhou smiled and held him back. Chang Shi is like a political commissar in the army in later generations, and his relationship with the officers seems to be clearer when compared with filmmakers and directors.

"Army?" Cheng Yunquan looked at Cheng Jinzhou and then Lu Xu strangely, wondering what the Star Warlock wanted the army to do.

"Let's go in and talk." Cheng Jinzhou said, pulling him into the church and whispering at the same time: "How much do you know about border provocations?"

Cheng Yunquan guessed it right away and said: "You want to cause trouble for the Northern Han Dynasty? Ordinary soldiers are not easy to mess with. The border troops are all cavalry."

"Luoshanguan is gone, why are they so arrogant? How do you think we can make His Majesty the Emperor willing to launch a war against the Northern Han Dynasty?" Cheng Jinzhou almost told the truth. We are all a family, so there is no need to take precautions.

Cheng Yunquan shook his head and said: "It's easier said than done. The emperor used to have great ambitions and wanted to weaken the grassland and occupy Jingnan to make himself rich. But now."

He looked at Cheng Jinzhou talking, and Xiao Cheng also understood what was going on.

The Star Warlocks demonstrated unparalleled power, and their inner connection made the royal family's strategy of division laughable. Since he is not the supreme owner of power, Emperor Lizong's interest is not so high.

While the two were silent, Cheng Huafu also rushed back to the temple. This is a handsome bishop, with fair skin typical of the Cheng family and a friendly smile.

Cheng Yunquan took the opportunity to repeat Cheng Jinzhou's words, and then expressed his position: "I have no objection. Although he is now the magistrate, there are still many old troops in the surrounding garrison."

Cheng Huafu had an unexpectedly high level of participation and immediately said: "The leader does not need to be of high rank. What can be done must make the Northern Han Dynasty angry, preferably the whole country."

"Would that be self-defeating?" Cheng Yunquan became worried.

Cheng Jinzhou rubbed his chin and asked, "How about killing one of their senior officials?"

What he was thinking of was the style of Japanese soldiers in World War II. Young men sent officials to find trouble, and the usual procedures would not change much.

"It doesn't have to be about killing people. The Northern Han Dynasty doesn't care about blood." Cheng Huafu said in a low voice: "Now the water and grass are fertile. The herdsmen of the Northern Han Dynasty have to live on it all year round. Think of a way on the grassland?"

Beyond the word count: Starting tomorrow, we will gradually get back on track.
