Kong Yinjing felt the alienation shown by Kong Yueqing.
"When I married you to Datong, my uncle was very reluctant to let you go. Now that I see that you are living a good life here, I, as an uncle, can finally feel relieved."
Kong Yinjing brought up family ties.
"With my parents and younger brother by my side, and the whole family around me, I can survive no matter how hard the life is." Kong Yueqing said softly.
Kong Yinjing pretended not to hear the meaning of her words and said: "Yes, a family should take care of each other. When you were in Qufu, Kong took care of you. Now that you have come to Datong, as long as your family needs it, The Kong family will still take care of you and prevent you from being bullied by outsiders."
"Datong is so far away from Qufu, I'm afraid the Kong family won't be able to take care of our family!" Kong Yueqing looked at Kong Yinjing in front of her with interest.
Kong Yinjing showed a slight embarrassment on his face, but said: "No matter where it is, as long as there are scholars, Kong can speak a few words. If your family has been wronged in Datong, there is no need to endure it." , your mother’s family will make the decision for you.”
"Thank you, Uncle Six. Our family is living very well here in Datong." Kong Yueqing said with a dimple, and then asked, "When did Uncle Six come to Datong?"
"Just arrived today." Kong Yinjing said smoothly.
Things in Qufu were too urgent, and he didn't know how long Duke Yansheng and the clan elders could delay, so as soon as he arrived in Datong, he first went to meet Kong Yueqing's family, and then went to the General's Mansion to visit Kong Yueqing.
"The road from Qufu to Datong is not short. Uncle Liu, this journey will definitely not be easy. Why don't you go back and rest first? Uncle Liu, I see that you look tired. You must be too tired from traveling." Kong Yueqing gave the eviction order.
Kong Yinjing had some business to attend to, so he couldn't just leave like that, so he said hurriedly: "I'm not tired. Even though I'm older than your sixth uncle, I'm in good health, and I rode a carriage all the way, so it wasn't hard at all."
"Master, if you are not working hard, our wife is working hard too! Didn't you see that our wife is inconvenienced? It's great to be able to talk to you here for such a long time." Cui'er, who was standing by and waiting, had a strange expression on her face. Said to Kong Yinjing.
Kong Yinjing looked embarrassed after hearing this.
"Tui'er, what are you talking about? This is my elder. Please apologize to Uncle Six." Kong Yueqing scolded Tui'er softly.
"Master, it's Cui'er's fault, so I apologize to you." Cui'er apologized to Kong Yinjing forcefully.
"No, no, no, it's Uncle Six's fault. He forgot that Qing'er was inconvenienced." Kong Yinjing knew that calling Cui'er also meant Kong Yueqing, so he didn't dare to accept the other party's apology.
Kong Yueqing said at this time: "Uncle Six, you have also seen that I am really inconvenient and cannot accompany you. How about Uncle Six finding an inn to stay first?"
Although he was asking about Kong Yinjing, he was actually chasing Kong Yinjing away.
"You are feeling heavy now. Uncle Six should not bother you, but thinking that you are also a descendant of the Kong family, I feel that I should tell you. If you can help the Kong family, Uncle Six hopes that you can help some of his own people. .”
Kong Yinjing knew that if he left this time, he didn't know whether he would be able to see Kong Yueqing next time.
Therefore, he decided to clarify the matter while he could still see Kong Yueqing, hoping that the other party would be able to say a few good words for Kong around Liu Heng.
"Uncle Liu, just tell me if you have anything to say. My surname is Kong, so I will help anyone who can." Kong Yueqing knew that she couldn't leave for a while, so she had to listen to what was going on.
At the same time, there was some resentment in Liu Heng's heart. He knew that Kong's visitor had something to ask for, but he didn't tell her in advance so that she could be prepared.
Kong Yinjing was afraid that Kong Yueqing would use his health as an excuse to leave again, so he said straight to the point: "Now Qufu has been occupied by the Tiger Character Banner. Kong also supports the Tiger Character Banner and helps the Tiger Character Banner stabilize Qufu and the surrounding people. With Qing'er and your relationship here, we are still a family, right?"
Kong Yueqing nodded slightly and said, "This is a good thing."
"Because of the Kong family's help, the Tiger Character Flag quickly established a foothold in Qufu. But then the Tiger Character Flag wanted to equalize the land and divide the Kong family's fields. Qing'er, tell me, how is this for my own family? What you should do is to make your enemies happy and your relatives in pain!" Kong Yinjing slapped his thigh with his hand angrily.
"Uncle Liu's words are biased." Kong Yueqing said, "I think equalizing land is a good thing, allowing more clan members to have land for farming. Doesn't Uncle Six think this is bad?"
Kong Yinjing was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He didn't expect Kong Yueqing to say this.
However, he reacted quickly and said quickly: "It is a good thing for more people to have land, but before the equalization of land, with the Kong family in front, our people did not need to pay taxes to the court when renting land. But now that the land has been allocated to us, we still need to bear heavy taxes, which is not a good thing for our tribe."
"In the past, the tribesmen did not need to bear the taxes from the court, but the rent was much higher than the taxes. I know a little about the taxes of the Tiger Flag, but they are far less than the rents paid by the tribesmen, so I think it is better to pay the taxes. There's nothing wrong with it." Kong Yueqing explained.
】
At the same time, she was also telling Kong Yinjing that she was not a harem woman who knew nothing.
The embarrassment flashed across Kong Yinjing's face.
He didn't expect Kong Yueqing to know so clearly about the tax collection of the Tiger Character Flag, which was beyond his expectation.
"Uncle Liu, you should support the policies implemented by the Tiger Character Banner in Qufu. Didn't you just say that we are a family, and as a family, the Kong family should not hold back their own family members." Kong Yueqing said in turn Begin to educate Kong Yinjing.
She could already guess some of the plans of some people in the Kong family.
However, she was not prepared to help these people.
Not to mention her status in the Tiger Banner, the local policies implemented by the Tiger Banner are beneficial to the vast majority of the Kong clan, so she has no reason to object.
"The Kong family still has many clansmen, and the Tiger Character Banner will also divide this part of the land. These clan fields are our Kong family's own property. You can't ignore it, Qing'er." Kong Yinjing met with Jun Tian. It didn't make sense, so he changed the subject to the clan field.
Family fields are different from ordinary fields.
The clan fields of the Kong clan were awarded to the Kong clan by emperors of all dynasties, and were of a different nature from the fields under the names of the elders of the Kong clan.
Hearing this, Kong Yueqing closed her eyes.
Cui'er noticed it and asked with concern: "Madam, are you tired? I'll take you back to rest!"
"I'm fine." Kong Yueqing waved her hand to Cui'er beside her, then opened her eyes and looked at Kong Yinjing and said, "Uncle Six has also read books about sages, but have you ever heard of a sentence?"
"Which sentence?" Kong Yinjing asked curiously.
