Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 223
Huibinlou is a place with a good location, a wide network of contacts, and a thriving business.

The main street from Zhengyangmen to Chengtianmen divides the whole Dashiyongfang into two. Inside Chengtianmen are Taimiao and Sheji Altar, and outside Chengtianmen, on both sides of the main street are six ministries and various yamen.

Xingqing Street is on the west of Zhengyang Street, and Huibin Building is on the east of Zhengyang Street.

Because it is close to the official office and it is a time-honored brand, the business of Huibin Building has always been very good. The lower-ranking officials in China are much more elegant.

Since Dayunji moved into Xingqing Street, many customers in Huibin Building have been taken away, and it is inevitable that time-honored brands will be squeezed out of the market by chain stores.

However, it is still a time-honored brand. Most officials are used to the atmosphere here, and there are still quite a few regular customers.

When Jia Ying arrived at the Huibin Building, she found not only Chu Dayou, but also Fu Sinian, as well as several familiar old colleagues.

"Jia Ying, you are well-developed now, it's not easy to meet old friends." Chu Dayou led Jia Ying into the box, uttering sour strange words from time to time.

After Jia Ying said hello one by one, Fucai said: "Brother Chu, is Jia the kind of person who forgets the past? The Imperial Academy is my root no matter what time it is. How can a tree without roots last long?" If you forget the old days, you may not see me today. Congratulations to Brother Chu. I heard from Brother Fu that Brother Chu has been promoted to be a servant of King Zhao’s Mansion. It seems that it won’t be long. I'm about to become a Bachelor of Attendance."

From a servant to a bachelor, although it is only a leap from the sixth rank to the fifth rank, the official rank of the Imperial Academy cannot be taken lightly, and the bachelor of the Imperial Academy already has the qualifications to join the cabinet and participate in politics.

Speaking of this, I have to mention Gu Chunting, after five or six years in the position of serving as a bachelor, he finally made it through.After the Xu Zhemu case, there were vacancies in the cabinet, and Jiade has not filled in newcomers, probably because of the intention of investigating the officials.

Gu Chunting has been an official for more than ten years, and he has always been conscientious and conscientious. He has been serving as a lecturer for more than five years, and he has to give lectures in the Wenhua Palace every day before dawn. This situation has lasted for at least three years. .

After a thousand-year-old daughter-in-law became a mother-in-law, Gu Chunting finally came within Jiade's sight.

Four years after his father passed away, Zhou Quan, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, and his mother also died of illness a few days ago, Zhou Quan handed in his resignation letter to Jiade after receiving the funeral letter from the village.

Four years ago, Jiade had just succeeded to the throne for more than a year, and the new emperor did not fear that the government would be unstable, so Zhou Quan was deprived of Ding You's affection for returning home. Now that his mother has passed away, even as an emperor, it is not good Continue to keep the courtiers.

Although the decree to allow Zhou Quan to return to his hometown has not yet come down, but if nothing unexpected happens, the emperor will allow it.

If it were someone else, perhaps Ding You's resignation was just a posturing to preserve filial piety, but the cabinet ministers of the Jiade Dynasty were different.

There is Li Endi, the chief assistant for more than ten years, dominating the seat, and the emperor cannot easily dismiss a veteran of the two dynasties without fault.Although the second assistant's seat was vacant, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the emperor would definitely reserve this seat for Fu Donglai.

Not only because of the New Deal, but also because of checks and balances.

After Fu Donglai, although Feng Hengshi cut off his way into the cabinet because of his disability, there was still Ye Baichuan, who was much younger than Fu and Feng, and had time to wait.

Only Yang Jingting and Zhou Zhongping are in an embarrassing situation. Let’s get old. Li En No. is in his 70s and still occupies the position of Chief Assistant. Both of them are in their early [-]s. One half past fifty, which is the most popular age in life, so he is not reconciled to resigning like this.Can continue to stay in the cabinet, obviously the possibility of promotion is slim.

Therefore, for resigning from office, Zhou Quan didn't have much nostalgia or reluctance in his heart. If he was an official at his level, after a hundred years, he would have to be posthumously awarded the position of third young master or third master. Don't think about it, that's reserved for the first and second assistants.Well, of course a literary posthumous title is also indispensable.

What's more, the external worries have been calmed down for the time being, and the official reform jointly implemented by Fu Donglai and Feng Hengshi recently made him feel uneasy, so it is better to simply step back, so that he can stay clean and keep the evening festival.

Suddenly two seats were vacated, and the cabinet ministers felt the pressure.

Don't look at Zhou Quan and Yang Jing as two answerers, subservient to Li Endi's power, but no matter for the emperor or the cabinet, these two people are indispensable, regardless of the top group of people No matter how you look at it, in the eyes of all the officials, the two are still high-ranking elders.

Therefore, Jiade had to start training newcomers.

It is not realistic for Gu Chunting not to join the cabinet directly.Instead, as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, he served as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the Secretary of the Imperial Academy.

Not to mention the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, although Guozijian is only a small official of the sixth rank, he can accumulate a lot of contacts if he can't bear this position. Let alone how many Jinshi the Guozijian can produce every year, the key is that this yamen is deeply recognized by the scholar-bureaucrat class , especially the rich and famous families from all over the world, if they cut their heads, they would send their children to study in the Imperial College.

According to Jia Ying, Jiade seems to be training opponents for Fu Donglai.

Xu Zhemu, the lecturer, is gone, and Gu Chunting, the bachelor of attendant, has been promoted to an official again, and even the personnel of the Imperial Academy has undergone a major change.There are usually two people for each of the attendant students, and Chu Dayou's promotion can be regarded as filling up this seat. As for the attendant bachelor, Guardian has not made any other arrangements.

To put it bluntly, as long as there are no accidents in the middle, Chu Dayou's road to the cabinet has already begun from now on.

This is something that no one can envy.

Jia Ying didn't think there was anything wrong with it, mainly because he didn't have any ambitions.

Looking at Fu Sinian, an old friend who is still in the Imperial Academy, he is somewhat similar to the experience of Gu Chunting and Chu Dayou. Maybe he, who was the same year, will be in charge of the government in the future.

But if you want to get to that point, it will be a test of one's perseverance and state of mind. After all, you have been sitting in a seat the size of a sesame seed for ten years or more, watching your old friends flourish one by one. , not everyone can take it calmly.

People like Jia Ying and Feng Jicai are not of this kind.

"It's just a errand in Prince Zhao's mansion. It's all thanks to the great kindness of the emperor. Chu can only work hard and can't repay the emperor's kindness. I will accept your good words." Chu Dayou bowed in the direction of the palace. Depressed joy.

To be able to be a lecturer in the Imperial Academy, a second-class background is just the beginning. Chu Dayou was the No. A person who has passed his thirties, and is still a servant of the sixth grade, if he said that he has no other thoughts in his heart, let alone Jia Ying, even he himself would not believe it.

It’s just that he probably didn’t know that compared to the scholars who passed the rank at the same age as him, he was considered lucky enough. How many of the 300 students in one subject and two can stay in the Hanlin Academy?And how many people have spent their whole life spinning between the seventh rank and the sixth rank.Those who can enter the six departments and be promoted to the yamen of each department are rare after all.

Feng Jicai's road to public opinion is the fastest way, it allows you to obtain the greatest power in the shortest possible time, but it is not easy for the Inspectorate to stand out, Zuodu Yushi is very important to most people. , is the ceiling, unless you can make amazing political achievements, there is a slight possibility of joining the cabinet.

The Procuratorate is too much of a sinner. Which of the court chiefs above the third rank has not been impeached? With these people around, the people of the Procuratorate want to join the cabinet?I'm afraid it is even more difficult than entering the cabinet as a heavenly official.

"Don't be dissatisfied with the two of you. One is the assistant official of Prince Zhao's Mansion, and the other is the military commander of Jingning Bojia with great military achievements. If you continue to praise each other like this, you will die of chatting." An old man next to him Hanlin said with a strong sour taste.

Jia Chu and Chu looked at each other, and they both burst out laughing.

The emperor sent an attendant to Zhao Wang's mansion, which is worth pondering.

If Qi Benzhong was still alive, by now, he would probably be the official of the Six Departments again.

Impressive.

"Brother Fu is on duty quite early today." Jia Ying turned to Fu Sinian and said.

"Today, I was not the one who was on duty in the cabinet. After receiving Brother Chu's invitation, I came here ahead of time." Fu Sinian's temperament was still so calm.

From him, Jia Ying saw a lot of attitudes of flattery and humiliation.

It's very rare, if it were him, he would have to worry about gains and losses.

"It's rare for us all to be together today, come and have a drink together."

"Drink together, drink together!"

"That's right, yes, let's celebrate. Since the Holy Majesty came to the throne, until today, our Hanlin Academy has finally felt proud once. Not to mention Mr. Gu, but only Mr. Chu, Jia Ying, Brother Fu, and Feng Jicai, the number one scholar of Jihai Division. , In the past two years alone, four people have emerged, and from now on we will rely on the friendship of today's colleagues to care for each other. Haha."

Jia Ying also raised his wine glass with everyone and drank it down in one gulp.

Let's do it and cherish it. Of the people present here in the future, I don't know how many of them will be friends and how many will be enemies.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

"Speaking of our old colleague Feng Jicai, I heard that he left for the south of the Yangtze River yesterday. Mr. Fu Ge and Mr. Feng jointly implemented the new government and official reform. In just a few days, many officials from various places have had their homes raided and imprisoned. These, But it was all written by the Procuratorate, and even the Thousand Household Officials of the Embroidery Guards were severely investigated. What do you guys think about this?" As the host, Chu Dayou asked.

Feng Jicai left Jiangnan?
Jia Ying only found out about this now.

Wealth and honor do not return to the hometown, such as walking at night in brocade clothes, who knows!

A year ago, Feng Jicai was still a poor man in Fengyang, and a year later, he was already a feared inspector censor who held the power of life and death in the local area.

It really is 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.

Feng Jicai felt elated this time.

"The government is corrupt and the officials are greedy and cruel. This is not a day. In the first year of Jiade, a large number of Zhongliang were demoted in the court, and there were many cases of unjust and wrong cases. The worst case was the case of Huguang's rebellion and the interception of Zhongliang. The imperial court had to let these people live for a few days only because foreigners invaded the border, and now that they have freed up their hands, they naturally cannot let these corrupt officials go." An Hanlin said angrily.

As soon as his voice fell, someone answered: "Brother Lu's words are reasonable, but they are not fundamental. If the so-called reform of officials only focuses on one or two greedy cruelties, but does not rectify the root cause, then this New Deal will not change. Looking at me In the officialdom, there are few people who are corrupt. Officials at home and abroad colluded with each other in private, followed the party's ban, deceived the superiors, and exploited the people. Only the case of Nifan and Bailian, the food and military equipment used were all from the imperial court. In particular, the case of missing firearms from Huguang Bingbei Dao, which was a big deal, ended up being overwhelmed by Xu Ni's downfall. Hmph, the so-called corruption is just a superficial thing. How can the corruption of the government be just a mere word of corruption. "

Rectify the root and clear the source, who is the root?Where is the source?

This Li Hanlin clearly meant something, but he didn't dare to say it clearly.

"What Brother Li said is true. A few years ago, Chu received a letter from the elders in the village. Last year, in order to prepare for the military salary, several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River imposed additional taxes. They had to sell the land at a low price, and what’s more, they left home and abandoned the land, and fled to other places to avoid taxes, and rich merchants and rich Jia took the opportunity to buy a large amount of land.”

Chu Dayou looked at the people at the banquet and said: "Everyone knows that at that time the imperial court had already decided to carry out the decree of changing rice to mulberry in the south of the Yangtze River, but the government suppressed it, allowing rich merchants to smoothly buy land from the people at a low price, and then sell it at a higher price. If it is sold to the government, the profit will be shared between the government and the merchants.”

The imperial court provided tax subsidies for changing rice to mulberry, and even formulated a method to allow local governments to purchase official land by themselves to convert mulberry fields. Eight taels of money, seven taels of money per mu of inferior land.

Compared with the current market price of land, the price given by the imperial court is actually considered a premium purchase.

Moreover, Sangtian is not taxed in Dingkou, but in mu.

From Jia Ying's point of view, changing rice to mulberry is not a bad thing, and it has the taste of sharing a small amount of money into the mu. The concept is already one step ahead of the current grain tax.

Jia Ying didn't really feel much about Li Endi's policy of changing rice to mulberry. This decree was not unique to the Jiade Dynasty. In the early years of Taizu and Gaozu's years, sea trade was prosperous, and one trade was not profitable. It almost doubled. At that time, rice was replaced by mulberry in the Jiangnan area.

Otherwise, where would Xuanlong be prosperous.

Jia Ying only believed half of Chu Dayou's words.

It's not his malicious speculation, but the fact.

Minshui Junzhou, the emperor knows this well, how can he dig his own grave?

If changing rice to mulberry is really a bad government, it is also bad for our own country, which emperor would be so stupid?Unless they are so stupid that they are extremely incompetent, but if you look at the four emperors, are they like this?
Obviously not.

The change of rice to mulberry formulated by the imperial court did not have much impact on the people who lived on tenant farmers.

Where the land is more than [-] mu to [-] mu, half of the land shall be used for planting mulberry.

Among the poor people in this world, how many families can have ten acres of fertile land?
Three acres of Susukida is enough for a family of five to live on. If there are ten acres, the old farmers may wake up laughing in their dreams.

Only the part of more than ten mu will be used to convert half of the land into mulberry fields.

The first-class fertile land is usually not used for planting mulberry trees. The survival and production capacity of mulberry trees is much higher than that of food crops.

Therefore, changing rice to mulberry will not have a big impact on the grain production in the south of the Yangtze River. At most, it will only reduce export sales, and grain prices will not change much.

The real target group of this imperial decree is the big landlord class.

It is the big landowner, not the landlord.

What is a big landlord?
You don't have more than [-] mu of land, how dare you call yourself a big landlord?

How many Lutians are there in Ningrong and Rongfu?
Jia Ying didn't ask in detail, but as far as the current situation of nobles is concerned, there are definitely two thousand hectares of land in the two prefectures, and Jia Ying doesn't know how much land exceeds the two thousand hectares.

At the beginning of the Jia family's founding, they were the top nobles. A county king usually has more than [-] hectares of land, and the prince is even more prosperous.

Let's do some calculations, how much is the two thousand hectares of land in Ningrong Second Mansion worth?
For upper, middle and lower third-class fields, the price of middle-class fields is usually around eight taels per mu, and one hectare of one hundred mu is converted into silver. Only these two thousand hectares of land are worth as much as 160 million taels.

But maybe only two thousand hectares?
Just kidding, the Jia family is in decline now, but the first two generations are still thriving, how do the nobles save their family business?
It sounds like buying land, but it sounds like annexation.

After two generations, it must be doubled anyway, 320 million taels of silver.

The four thousand hectares of the two prefectures are considered less, and when Xu Zhemu fell, how much land was taken back by the Xu family?

Not too much, more than 56 mu.

More than [-] hectares.

much?not much.

What is the landlord class?At least half of the land in Dagan is in the hands of these so-called literati and landlords.

How many poor people are there in Dagan?How many landlords?

Jia Ying didn't know, but this ratio was absolutely astonishingly exaggerated. After all, most of the people did not own their own land and could only be tenants.

To put it bluntly, if the emperor is short of money one day, he will randomly pull out a family of fattening nobles, copy a wave, and pour a lot of money.

Of course, these are real properties, and it is difficult to realize them all at once.

But this does not prevent us from thinking about it, if Sister Feng issued usury loans of more than 300 million taels at a time, how much interest could she get in a year?
There is always two or three million taels, after all, in this era, there is no such thing as the concept of financial leverage.

As for Jia Zheng's generation, there are three generations before and after. It must have been a hundred years since Jia's family became a big landlord. Two or three million taels a year, and two or 30 million taels in a century. Yes, no wonder he was beaten up by a local tyrant.

Of course, this is the calculation, but so many lutians cannot be used only as the private property of the two prefectures of Rongning and Ningxia. There are still many clansmen in the two prefectures who also rely on this to make a living. Most of the lutians are in the south, with the help of the Jinling clan To take care of it, and some of them are not fertile land, but mountainous land, so there is still a discount.And the two governments directly manage only those Zhuangzi.

But in any case, if the conversion of rice to mulberry is carried out well, it will usually not affect the poor people at the bottom.

Who was the most victimized?
Those small and medium-sized landlords with dozens of acres or even hundreds of acres of fertile land are what we usually call ordinary people.

The government and wealthy businessmen colluded with the government and the people to embezzle land prices and embezzle these people's land, and then sold it to the government at a high price, that is, the court. The premium in the middle was the benefit they tasted.

And once the small and medium-sized landlords go bankrupt, the tenant farmers will be the first to suffer. They will have no land to farm, but the Dante tax will not be reduced by one cent.

But as long as these old farmers who plan food in the yellow land have a way to survive, they will survive and rebel?They don't have the guts.

What is really dissatisfied is the bottom class of scholar-bureaucrats whose interests have been violated.

How can Chu Dayou come from a second-class Jinshi, and he has served as an official in the Imperial Academy for many years, so how can anyone in the village write to him, especially ordinary people?
But in any case, even if the family has a hundred acres of fertile land, they are also the people of Daqian, and it is the foundation of a feudal dynasty. Doing so will destroy the court.

It is obviously a good strategy for benefiting the country, but because of the greed of some people, it harms one side.

During the banquet, everyone was complaining one after another, but Jia Ying silently thought deeply.

Is Li Endi confused?Colluding with internal and external officials of the Jiangnan family, using public weapons for personal gain?
Li Endi hasn't lost his mind to this point, has he?
Jia Ying was a little uncertain, but felt that his thinking was not unreasonable.

The so-called people with lofty ideals pursue nothing more than the past and the future.

In front of him, he was already an extremely human minister, and he survived two dynasties, so what is there to be dissatisfied with?

After death, as long as he can keep the evening festival, his salary will only be higher than that of Zhou Quan, not lower.He only has one son, Li Xiaobao, and Xu Zhemu's family has thousands of hectares for two days, so Li Endi will be poor?

Relying on these lands and the affection left by the elders of Shoufu Pavilion, it is not a problem to keep the Li family rich for several generations.

Addicted to entitlement?He is already in his seventies, how many years will he have to live?Isn't he sweet to play with grandchildren?

It is very possible that, just like Xu Zhemu, he couldn't help himself and was tricked by others.

Maybe it was a pig teammate of his own line, or maybe it was dug out in advance by a god opponent.

Just listening to Chu Dayou's words, it seems that he has a strong hostility towards this veteran chief assistant.

Well, there are also these colleagues from the Imperial Academy.

Only Fu Sinian didn't say a word, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

With the wine glass in Jia Ying's hand, she glanced at Chu Dayou from the corner of her eye.

This person's temperament was not like this before. He kept away from everything and hid in the Hanlin to enjoy his leisure. What's the matter today?
from the dragon?
It is indeed a great temptation.

Prince Zhao's mansion, assistant household department, Hanlin attendant.

Think about today's banquet.

Alas, there is no such thing as a good banquet!
The affairs of his own family have not been settled yet, how could he have the heart to meddle with other people's family, but can he really let himself be?
I don't know any of Garter's sons.

Forget it, let's just bring my ears today.

"Jia Ying, why don't you speak?"

Jia Ying wanted to be a little transparent, but Chu Dayou didn't let him go, just kidding, among the people sitting here, how many people can be as important as Jia Ying.

That's right, the other party is just a fifth-rank member of the Ministry of War, Uiro, but don't forget how old he is.

However, compared with his future prospects, Chu Dayou values ​​his own ability and prestige in the army more.

Jia Ying didn't care about vanity fairs, what he cared about was how to continue to gain the trust of Jiade, so as to further strengthen himself, so he has always been able to avoid getting involved in things that are likely to arouse the suspicion of the Tian family.

Just like military matters, he never reaches out easily.

Don't forget that he not only has military achievements, but also holds the power of the Ministry of War. As long as he is willing, he can gain a large number of fans, and he can intervene in military affairs in any of the two capitals and thirteen provinces. Place your own manpower.

If the emperor was incompetent, maybe he really did it.

But Jiade's series of methods after the empress's funeral made him clearly realize that the one sitting on the throne is the real Son of Heaven.

It doesn't matter whether he is wise or not, the important thing is that as an emperor, he is absolutely qualified.

How about Yang Huang?Xu Zhemu couldn't even keep his house.Fu Shi boasted that the emperor's confidant and close minister, and the world-renowned Duke Donglai, wasn't he still willing to be driven away?
Yizhong has long passed away, and the old Suzhong's military exploits are no longer in the world. Even Emperor Xuanlong, who claims to be a sage, is still kept in the dark by his son?
Even if these top smart people are like this, why should I play the trick of deception in front of such an emperor, and make sure that I will not be discovered?

"Brother Chu wants me to say something?" Jia Ying asked slowly.

"I heard, Jia Ying, you are married to the daughter of the Lin family?" Chu Dayou asked.

Fu Sinian on the side frowned slightly, and seemed to feel that it was inappropriate for Chu Dayou to mention this matter at this time, but he couldn't say much.He and Jia Ying have a good friendship, but they are not one after all.

Jia Ying nodded and said, "That's right, what did Brother Chu want to say?"

"Jia Ying, do you know that Mr. Lin is currently in the south of the Yangtze River watching the matter of changing rice to mulberry, not only Shangshu impeached Jia Yucun, but also Fujian's chief envoy. As a future son-in-law, don't you have any ideas?"

"What should I think?" Jia Ying continued to pretend to be confused.

To be honest, Jia Ying was not disgusted with Chu Dayou's wooing him, as it was the norm in the officialdom.Those who don't stand in line will either be sent to a place where no bird shits, or they will take the blame for others.

If it wasn't for Feng Hengshi and Fu Donglai, would Jia Ying be where he is today?
It is only a matter of time before we choose sides.

But Jia Ying is also not stupid. Jiade's delay in appointing a prince shows that he has never had a suitable candidate in his heart. In other words, among his sons, none of them have obvious advantages.

As for Yang Yi, what she occupied was only the status of the main palace, but the empress had three sons in her life, one died, and there were two more.

In this way, Yang Yi's advantage will be discounted again.

Although there were quarrels between him and Yang Yi, they are by no means incompatible. As long as there are enough interests, it is not impossible to cooperate.

The point is that he doesn't know much about Jia De's sons, so it's too childish to easily stand aside just because of Chu Dayou's coaxing.

Furthermore, the change of rice to mulberry was approved by several cabinet ministers all the time. Regardless of whether there are any pitfalls in it, if you really want to do something about it, can you pretend that those old guys are vegetarians?

Besides, it is true that he and Lin Ruhai have a son-in-law relationship, and it is true that their interests are integrated, but if Lin Ruhai was here, he would never force himself to maintain the same position as him.

Of course, no matter whether Lin Ruhai asked or not, it was impossible for Jia Ying to go against him. The Jia family and the Lin family were already two generations of relatives by marriage, and they were not collateral marriages.

If he really came to a confrontational step, maybe he would divorce his wife Xue Lian Er, and someone would be scolded to death!

What's more, one generation has the pursuit of another generation. He and Lin Ruhai belong to two generations, and neither can impose anything on the other.

Chu Dayou is also a smart person, some things can be said to the point, and if he talks too much, it will hurt his feelings.

Chu Dayou still values ​​Jia Ying very much. Even if he can't find a way in the future, he is not willing to confront him easily. Besides, apart from life and death, what is there that he can't let go of?Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to stay in the Imperial Academy for so many years with peace of mind.

Since Jia Ying didn't want to answer, he didn't force him anymore.

However, the atmosphere at the wine table was unavoidably cold, everyone had their own thoughts, it was no longer the same as when Jia Ying first entered the Imperial Academy.

When parting, Chu Dayou revealed a piece of news to Jia Ying.

"If I remember correctly, Jia Ying, your ancestral home is from Jinling, right? I heard that Feng Jicai also has his eye on Jia Yucun, but I don't know if his Jia and your Jia are the same Jia."

Jinling Jia is still very important in Dagan. Although the official protection talisman is only recited in Jinling Jiangnan, there are also many officials in Beijing who went from south to north.

At this point, Jia Ying didn't understand why, Chu Dayou was reminding him to beware of Feng Jicai.

Feng Jicai eyeing Jia Yucun?
It is said that the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. According to Yucun's temperament, waves are his normal state.

Yucun is an egg full of cracks everywhere, as long as it has a mouth, it can bite, and there is basically no need to worry about falling through.

Jia Ying couldn't help worrying about Yucun. In his previous life, he hated Yucun, who had a bone in the back of his head, and for some reason, when he came to the red building, he didn't want Yucun to fall like this.

Does it seem a bit cheap?
Jia Yucun hooked up with Li Endi, there should be nothing to doubt, Feng Jicai set his sights on Jia Yucun, that is to go on the opposite side of Li Endi.

Who gave him the guts?

A big boss from the Inspectorate?

On the way back, Jia Ying shook her head to herself.

Without Feng Hengshi's Inspectorate, I don't have the backbone and courage.

Fu Donglai?Or his teacher?or.
Jinling Jia, Jinling Jia.

"Do you want to deal with it in advance? After all, it is my clan, the foundation is, there must be problems, and it is not normal if there are no problems." Jia Ying thought to herself.

After thinking for a while, Jia Ying made a decision in his heart, and the horse's hoof couldn't help but quicken a little.

After returning to the mansion, Jia Ying went straight into the study room, laid out paper and picked up a pen.

"My Brother Yucun Taijian."

It's a little numb, and they are all called brothers.

However, how come there is a feeling of dancing with wolves, exciting!

Am I getting dark?

Putting aside the miscellaneous threads, continue to write:
"It's been more than a year and four months since I parted with my brother in Beijing. I'm glad to hear about my brother's transfer. I can't express my joy in words. Congratulations to my brother."

"I would like to send a few words today, and I forgive you for your understanding."

"All the princes in the court followed the new policy to use the government's disadvantages and reform the government to seek eternal life. They are all of one mind. At the end of last year, I was surprised to hear that my brother's bullets, and my brother was deeply worried. Now there is an imperial envoy Feng Yuchang, whose name is Ji Ji. The talented person is the censor in the courtyard, and he left Beijing a few days ago and went south."

Jia Ying does not intend to intervene in the affairs of the Jinling clan at the moment. Now that the Jia family is in a prosperous state, some trivial matters will not hurt the foundation.

More importantly, it can give him an excuse to intervene.

Otherwise, they are all in the same family, and it is really difficult for him to start.Before the foreign enemy came to the door, the own people killed the general first, wouldn't it make people laugh.

Not to mention the current state where the clan is the most important thing, even in the previous life, this blood relationship cannot be easily severed by cutting it off. The Jia family without the strong foundation of the clan maintenance is called a tree without roots and water without a source. .

Throughout the past and present, the reason why one surname and one clan can last for thousands of years is precisely because of this bond that is united by the blood of the clan.

Naturally, the disposal must be dealt with, but it cannot cut the foundation by itself.

It is said that it cannot be broken or erected, it is a last resort, once such a big stall is broken, there is a high probability that it will be pounced upon by the surrounding wolves and divided up bite by bite.

There is no harmony among the nobles, and the Jia family is not without enemies.

But he can't just watch Feng Jicai mess around, he is clear about the pissing nature of wealthy and noble families, and some things he does are really taboo.

It is necessary to give him an excuse to take action to rectify the clan, but not to allow Feng Jicai to succeed.
