Chapter 231 Dangerous situation
Chapter 231 Dangerous situation (big chapter please subscribe!)
After staying in Jinling for a few days, Jia Ying took everyone to Hangzhou, but there was one person missing in this trip.
Xue Biao and Baoqin's father were ill and had been bedridden for more than half a month. When they were welcoming Jia Ying that day, Xue Biao made a quick appearance and left early, leaving only Xue's uncles and uncles to accompany him.
Only because Baochai and others had just settled down, so I didn't mention it in detail, and at that time Xue Tiansi was only insignificant. I don't think it's only been a few days, and even tea and rice need to be served.
After hearing the news, Jia Ying also accompanied Baochai to visit twice. Leaving aside the relationship between Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue, after Baochai's father passed away, Xue Tiansi was the head of the Xue family. Ying took it seriously.
Furthermore, Baochai's father didn't live early, and his uncle took care of the family, so he had deep feelings.The person was brought back to Jinling by Jia Ying, and he did not look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face, so Jia Ying went there twice, once to represent Jia's family, and once to accompany Baochai on a special trip.
According to Xue Biao, he was paralyzed on one side of his body earlier and needed needles to alleviate it. A while ago, there was an east wind in Jinling. Eyes slanting, mouth drooling.
However, people can still move. The Xue family has invited many famous experts. Who would have thought that people are not getting better at all, but it is getting worse and worse. Up to now, they have been completely paralyzed, and the right half of their body is completely unconscious. ah.
Although Jia Ying is not proficient in medical skills, but he has read a lot of books, and he can judge one or two common symptoms. This kind of symptom is still second to stroke, which should be cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Cerebral hemorrhage, Jia Ying did not know.
Jia Ying had relatives who had suffered from this type of illness in her previous life, so she was quite familiar with it, and it was similar to the symptoms Xue Biao described.
With the current level of medical treatment, there is a high probability that people will be like that.
Perhaps, the miracle doctor he met in Shanyin may come again, and maybe he can increase his lifespan. His medical skills are considered to be the best that Jia Ying has ever encountered in this world.
It's a pity that the grandpa and grandson of the Chang family rejected his invitation at the beginning, and still chose to travel around the world, treating diseases and saving lives, and now they don't know where he is.
It's really Gaoshi.
Probably because Xue Tiansi didn't live long.
The law of heaven rotates and rises and falls in an orderly manner. In the world, there are few wealthy families with a thousand years of history. Most of them have been blessed for three generations, and very few can be called a century-old family.
Like those famous families with big surnames that have survived from ancient times, they can be passed down to this day, more because of the inheritance of one surname, but not in the same line, and most of them are mixed together and loose clans, which are still different from the concept of family.
The Xue family has been a famous family in Jinling since the late period of the previous dynasty, and it has lasted for more than a hundred years. It has been rich for a long time, and Fuze can't keep up.
In the generation of Xue Pan and Xue Bian, the population is thin, the master is weak and the side is prosperous, most of the properties of the direct line are divided by the side line, and even the servants in the family are faintly growing.
In the old days, Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people.
Even Wang Xie's family is like this, let alone another family.
This incident inevitably added a somewhat depressing atmosphere to the girls' trip to Jiangnan. They had been together for a long time, and Baochai knew how to behave. Seeing her sad appearance that day, the girls naturally felt uncomfortable.
So Jia Ying took this opportunity to take the girls to Hangzhou, each with its own destiny, and finally came out, so I can't be spared. If I want to have this opportunity in the future, I don't know how long it will be, especially Sanchun, when they get married, even Jia Ying, the elder brother, can't continue to take them on a tour.
Let's do it, and cherish it.
Seeing things and thinking about others, Daiyu was greatly affected. She was originally a sentimental character, and when she saw Uncle Xue's situation, she couldn't help but think of her own father.
Although Lin Ruhai's fate has changed, he was born with a weak body, which is extremely difficult to change the day after tomorrow, and his body is still weak.
"We're going to Hangzhou soon, my sister will see my aunt soon." On the bow of the boat, Jia Ying appeared beside Daiyu at some point, and comforted her softly.
"I heard from Sister Baochai that the Zhejiang and Fujian areas have not been doing well since this year, but I don't know what happened to my father."
Baochai probably heard about it from the Xue family. The Xue family is deeply rooted in the south of the Yangtze River. Sometimes, what they know is more detailed than what Jia Ying knows.
Jia Ying didn't know how to comfort Daiyu, because he had heard something.
There is no need to hear the truth from Yucun, but he knows that Jia Yucun did not stay in Jinling for a moment after the land invasion case was settled. It is said that he went to Fujian in person, and there were several villages there. Take the lead in making a fuss.
Jia Ying learned a lot of news from the Jinling clan. The Jia family bought land for the purpose of selling mulberry to the government. The clan also recently purchased a lot of land in Fujian and Zhejiang, and now some of them have been sold. With Yucun here, he naturally made a lot of money.
For the remaining part, the Jia family will plant mulberries and let the tenant farmers produce cloth. In the future, when they trade with the Taixi people, each family will get a share of the profits, as long as they pay the commercial tax in full.
Similar to what the Jia family did, there are not a few of the big families in the south of the Yangtze River.
Most of those rich merchants are attached to these big families.
The reason why Fujian is so chaotic is because the local prominent families reject them, who have surnames from other provinces.Thinking about it, I understand, but anyone who has a relationship with the DPRK and China knows that they can make a lot of money by taking advantage of Sangchang’s shareholder style. When they buy land, don’t they spare no effort? of.
Just like a pack of wolves, big families have their own territory divisions. If you put your hand in my pot, there will be trouble.
It's just that Jinling is powerful, and the local prominent families in Fujian are hard to resist, so they incite the people to make troubles, and the means are various, such as raising rents and taxes, or simply using the pretext of the government's land acquisition, and taking away the people's livelihood. The foundation, the purpose is to force those muddy legs to make a fuss, and when things get serious, we will see who can win.
After hearing this kind of operation, even Jia Ying felt very enlightened.
He originally thought that it was just local gentry oppressing the people, or that the big clans with damaged interests were clamoring behind their backs, but he did not expect that this farce originated from local protectionism.
At the same time, Jia Ying also felt a chill down her back, and she always felt that something was wrong here.
If he hadn't come to Jiangnan in person, even with the eyes of his two generations, he would not be able to understand that there are still so many ways in it.
But just because he can't understand it doesn't mean that no one in this world can understand it.
Jia Ying never dared to rely on her two worlds to underestimate the people of the world. Such a thing as talent is very unreasonable.
Some people have lived their entire lives without understanding things, but for those favored by heaven, it is just a glance.
It feels like someone is digging a hole, and it's a series of holes.
Calm down and think about it, the beginning of all this should be the New Deal.
Because of the New Deal, the emperor and Fu Donglai joined forces to get rid of the first stumbling block, Xu Zhemu.
The tragic situation of the second child aroused the eldest brother's desire to survive, so the eldest brother began to move closer to the emperor.
But if you want to be regarded as a confidant, you have to have a certificate, right?
What does the emperor lack?silver.
As a result, a silk trade with a high trade volume of several million taels came out, along with the decree to change rice to mulberry.
Once Sang changed the government order, the big families in the Jiangnan area, and the rich businessmen and tycoons they supported behind them, couldn't sit still.
Then, the people started to make trouble again.
The court, on the other hand, has always been on the sidelines with all this.
Of course, Jiade had to be put aside here, his own country, of course he felt sorry for him, but the emperor was not equal to the imperial court.
What is the purpose of watching with cold eyes?
Of course, the princes in the court have their own thoughts.
Some are desperate and have no way out;
What are they waiting for?
Some people expect Sangai to land smoothly; some people expect that when things in the south get bigger and those people with ulterior motives can't suppress them, they can take action to rectify them; some people may be waiting for the jump. The one that comes out jumps out and then.
In the end, all this still has to go back to the starting point, which is the New Deal.
If you want to implement the New Deal, you must first remove the obstacles on the road, and everything that happened above is probably a preparation for the New Deal to clear the obstacles.
At that time, I am afraid that none of the officials in the court and the rich and powerful local gentry will be able to escape and will have to be liquidated.
Kill two birds with one stone!
This is something that Jia Ying can barely understand, and maybe there is something he hasn't understood until now.
hiss!
Treacherous and cunning, so deep!
Jia Ying thinks again, can the land invasion case really be avoided as he wished?
"Xi'er."
"Second Master, I'm here."
"Let the boatman land in front of the shore, and you rush back to Jinling with my name card, and tell the elders of the family that the Jia family will no longer participate in the matter of changing rice into mulberry from now on. , These days, you will stay in Jinling and watch."
"Understood, Second Master."
"Also, let the clan elders convey my words to the other three families. Whether they listen or not, it's up to them."
Xi'er responded and left.
"Did something happen?" Seeing Jia Ying's sudden and unusual behavior, Daiyu asked worriedly.
Usually, Sanchun Qi Sixian and the others also came over.
Jia Ying shook her head: "It's nothing, I just thought of something and took some remedial measures, so don't worry about it."
It's useless to know, but it will only increase your troubles. It's better to be carefree.
There is heaven, there are Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Since the Three Kingdoms and Jin Dynasties, the economic center of this land began to move southward. In the Five Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties, the north and the south were equal. After the Song Dynasty, the economy of the south has completely surpassed that of the north.
As the most beautiful place in the south of the Yangtze River, Suzhou and Hangzhou have naturally become the most prosperous place in the south, bar none.
There is a saying in the poem: "wealth is bestowed on Nanzhou, and Cihua is merged with Xijing."
During the reign of Xuanlong, "Wu and Wu eat" has become the consensus of the big cadres. The former Minister of the Ministry of Households once said: "The seven prefectures of Su, Song, Chang, Zhen, Jia, Hu, and Hangzhou have a wealth of money and grain, and the supply and demand are top-notch. in the world."
These seven prefectures are all in the province of Zhejiang.
If it is said that Jinling is the land of misty moons in the Six Dynasties and is loved by poets and poets, then this land of Suzhou and Hangzhou is a paradise for merchants.
During this journey, what he saw and heard, everyone talked about business, even Jia Ying met two groups of Thai and Western people.
Dagan's attitude towards overseas trade is somewhat ambiguous, neither supporting nor completely prohibiting it. Foreign merchants can go ashore as long as they go to the shipping department stipulated by the imperial court and pay a full amount of commercial taxes.
These merchants all came from Guangzhou for the porcelain, silk, and cotton cloth unique to Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Some people may be curious, since the imperial court opened the Shibosi port in Guangdong, why is it not Guangzhou that is flourishing in commerce, but Suzhou and Hangzhou?
Huang Daopo's spinning machine has gradually become popular in Dagan, and new weaving machines have been used in many places. Why is Songjiang cloth unique in the world?And the land of Suzhou and Hangzhou, as the origin of silk and cotton cloth trade, seems irreplaceable.
The reason for this is also very simple, starting with the word food.
Farming civilization, farming is the most important thing.
The basis for the development of the handicraft industry is also inseparable from food.
Only when there is enough food produced and the people no longer worry about hunger, will they use their spare time to engage in economic production.
But theoretically speaking, rice in Guangdong can be harvested three times a year, and in Suzhou and Hangzhou, only a few areas can be harvested twice a year.
From this hearing, it seems that Guangdong has more advantages.
In fact, the growth of crops requires not only rain and sunshine, but also the fertility of the land, and the fertility of the land is limited. Two rice crops a year will not affect the next year's harvest, but if you want to grow winter rice, the next year The harvest will be greatly affected.
This is still the second.
In fact, Guangdong has always been a major province of grain transfer, and food shortage is the current situation in Guangdong.
Compared with Guangdong, the advantage of Suzhou and Hangzhou is that there are fewer hills and more plains. However, Guangdong still has a lot of land that belongs to barbaric land, with dense forests and hills. Under the current conditions, the grain output cannot be compared with that of Suzhou and Hangzhou. Compare.
At the very least, it won't be able to catch up in a short time.
Furthermore, compared with Suzhou and Hangzhou, the development time of Guangdong is still later, and the farming technology is relatively backward.
Because of this, Suzhou and Hangzhou have occupied the economic center of gravity until now.
When the group arrived in Hangzhou City, Lin Ruhai had already received the news and sent someone to pick them up.
Everyone arrived at the place where Lin Ruhai stayed, the weaving Yamen in Hangzhou.
Suzhou gardens are unrivaled in the world, and Hangzhou and Suzhou are separated by one place, so they have been affected to some extent.
The Hangzhou Weaving Bureau is obviously a government office, but it gives people the feeling of a rich man's manor.
When Jia Ying saw it at first sight, she was attracted by the scenery here. Humanistic freehand brushwork and mountains and rivers are combined, and the structural layout is in harmony with the scenery. Pavilions, pavilions, springs, stones, flowers and trees are skillfully integrated together.
This is true of Jia Ying, let alone a few girls, who fell in love with this place immediately.
Lin Ruhai still looked like a weak scribe, and after talking briefly with Daiyu, he arranged for everyone to stay, and the sisters went to the garden together, only Jia Ying stayed alone.
"Every time you come here is not the right time." After Lin Ruhai invited Jia Ying to take a seat, he smiled wryly and sighed, his words were full of helplessness.
When Jia Ying heard this, she remembered the last time she brought Daiyu back to Yangzhou to visit relatives.
Hard to do.
"But because of Sang Gai?" Jia Ying asked.
Lin Ruhai nodded with worry on his face.
"Recently, the two provinces of Zhejiang and Fujian are not at peace."
"Didn't it mean that civil unrest occurred only in Fujian province? Why did Zhejiang also start?"
Lin Ruhai shook his head and said: "The first batch of silk and cotton cloth transported south to Guangzhou was robbed in Fujian, some of them were taken away, and the rest were burned."
Which hero did the next great thing?This was Jia Ying's first reaction.
This is no less serious than Chao Tianwang robbing Liang Zhongshu's birthday outline.
I only heard Lin Ruhai continue to say: "Afterwards, the Fujian Buzheng Yamen sent soldiers to chase them down, and finally found that the gang of thieves settled in a fishing village along the coast."
"Is it an act of collusion between sea bandits and local people?" Jia Ying asked.
Lin Ruhai shook his head and said, "It's not just collusion. Most of those bandits are young and strong from nearby villages. Some of them died for several years in the government to avoid corvee, and now they suddenly came back to life."
"The civil unrest in Fujian a few days ago was because of this?" Jia Ying understood why Jia Yucun left so anxiously.
Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "The people in the sixteen villages have all been arrested, as well as the bandits who went ashore. It is said that this matter was done by two large groups of pirates at sea. Many of the people who were arrested They are all their relatives."
There are sixteen people in the village, how come there are almost a thousand people, such a big commotion?
"According to reports from officers and soldiers of the guards in Haining, Guanhai, Longshan and other places, it is said that a large number of bandits have gathered near the Shengsi Islands not far from Hangzhou. I am worried that there will be trouble."
"Since the accident happened in Fujian, why did it involve Zhejiang?" Jia Ying was puzzled.
Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Ying, chuckled lightly and said, "You forgot whose hometown is Zhejiang?"
After a moment of silence, Jia Ying blurted out, "Old Li Ge?"
Lin Ruhai nodded.
"I don't know who spread the news. It is said that the change of rice to mulberry policy was done by Mr. Li Ge. The intention is to seek personal gain for the Li party, cut off the livelihood of the people, and enrich the officials in Jiangnan. It is said that the Li family in Jiaxing Mansion has millions of stones in grain storage, countless gold, silver and jewels, and even the steps in front of their house are made of white jade."
No matter how it sounds, it doesn't look like the Li family, but it looks like the Jia family.
White jade is the horse for Tang Jin.
"Let's not talk about the Li family, it's true that the officials in the south of the Yangtze River have been fattened up." Jia Ying said shamelessly.
"So, what is the purpose of the person who you said said this?"
"Think about it again, the Shengsi Islands are not far from Hangzhou, but they are even closer to Jiaxing Mansion." Lin Ruhai's eyes were burning.
"Over there at Haining Guard," Jia Ying said worriedly.
"People have been sent to Xin'er, Jinshan and Haining guards are ready to deal with it."
Even so, Jia Ying could sense worry from Lin Ruhai's expression.
"Before I came to Fujian, I also knew about the situation. Now that the situation is up, it is clear that those big families are agitating the people for their own self-interest. If they want to solve this matter, they have to start with these big families. "
Jia Ying knew that Lin Ruhai was ordered by Jiade to go south to supervise the implementation of Sanggai. Whether this matter can be handled well is related to the future of his father-in-law. Once there is a major change, the local officials cannot escape, but Lin Ruhai, like Jia Yucun, bears the brunt.
As a prospective son-in-law, Jia Ying naturally wanted to help out.
Lin Ruhai sighed softly and said, "Why don't I know, but the involvement is too big, too big to be able to do anything about it, behind these big clans there are local officials' shadows, and the whole body is affected by it, let alone me, Even if Elder Fu Ge came in person, it would be impossible to clean up all the families."
"What about uniting one side to suppress the other? Didn't those big families in Nanzhili set their sights on the land in Fujian?" Jia Ying said again.
Lin Ruhai glanced at Jia Ying with a smile, then asked after a pause, "Ying'er, do you know why the big families in Nanzhili are eyeing Fujian instead of Zhejiang?"
Jia Ying shook her head, and said uncertainly, "You're easy to bully?"
Lin Ruhai laughed when he heard the words, and said: "Three words, but the Tao has exhausted its advantages and disadvantages, Ying'er, you are born to be an official."
Jia Ying said with embarrassment: "Master, I'm just guessing randomly. The big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish eat dried shrimps. It's similar to leading soldiers to fight. Pick the soft persimmons first."
"The words are not rough."
Lin Ruhai said: "Jinling has many nobles, like the four families of King Xue of Jiashi, and the Dongping Palace. Well, the Zhen family can also be counted as one. These noble families are an interest group. Officials in Zhejiang or The rich and famous families are more or less involved with the Li family in Jiaxing Mansion, and they hugged together again. If they come down, they will be officials from Fujian."
"The chief envoy of Fujian is from Zhejiang, and the inspector is from Jiangxi. There is only one chief envoy who is from Fujian. Yinger, do you understand?"
"The local government in Fujian is not of one mind." Jia Ying said leisurely.
Lin Ruhai nodded.
"This is just one of them. Whether it's Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian, or Jiangxi, all the officials in court privately attribute them to the Jiangnan faction."
This Jia Ying understood that the banner bearer of the Jiangnan faction was none other than Li Endi.
"Then what else do you see?" Lin Ruhai asked, with the meaning of a test in his words.
what else?
Jia Ying was stunned.
Jinling, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Jiangxi are all supporters of the Li Party.
Two words flashed in Jia Ying's mind: "Infighting?"
"Children can be taught." Lin Ruhai nodded in relief.
At this point, Jia Ying became suspicious again.
"Mr. Li Ge doesn't know what's going on here? Does he just watch?"
Looking at one's own foundation, ruined by internal strife?
Lin Ruhai shook his head and said, "I can't guess Li Ge's thoughts, but I can understand Fu Ge's thoughts."
At this time, Jia Ying also understood that it was obvious that Fu Ge was always playing tricks.
Before coming here, he thought he had seen clearly enough, but now it seems that what he thought he understood was only what he thought.
Sure enough, those who can be elected to the cabinet are all old coins.
Compared with them, Yucun is a younger brother.
"That's why I've been pushed down many times when I went to the shuffle."
"If that's the case, then why?" Jia Ying didn't finish, but Lin Ruhai could understand.
"I do something but don't do something. My ambition is not as big as Mr. Fu Ge's. I can't see the long-term. I only see that the people are devastated and the people are in dire straits."
Lin Ruhai's mood suddenly became depressed, and he looked at Jia Ying and said, "I only admire one of the princes of the Manchu Dynasty."
"Who?"
"Your teacher, Duke Feng."
"He's still that smelly, hard rock."
Hearing that her future father-in-law praised her teacher so highly, Jia Ying didn't know how to feel.
"Uncle, the teacher is not alone, there are many officials behind him to support him."
Who would have thought that Lin Ruhai sneered, and said with disdain, "Fake Qingliu."
Jia Ying: "."
"I also know those people in the academy. When I was in Yangzhou, I went there a few times. You are still younger."
"Wish to hear the teaching."
"From the moment they called out 'Nanxuan Party', they were not worthy of being called 'Qingliu'. Otherwise, your teacher, why would you reject them."
No wonder.
At the beginning, Jia Ying also asked her teacher why he was alone in the court, why he didn't use those people for his own use, but refused to be the leader of the "Nanxuan Party".
Feng Hengshi just smiled and didn't answer.
Now it seems that I still don't know my teacher well enough.
In fact, if he and Feng Hengshi did not have the status of master and apprentice, and if there was no matter about Huguang, the teacher and the student would be completely two-way people. On the contrary, Lin Ruhai and his teacher's temperament were more compatible.
"What about those officials in Jiangnan? Don't they understand that cooperation benefits both sides, and mutual internal friction will only benefit outsiders in vain."
Jia Ying has no hatred for Li Dang, let alone his family, even what he experienced in his previous life, should he form a party, why not form a party?
Li Dang has been in power for many years, and the life of the people has never been better, nor can it be worse.
The only change is that there is a White Lotus Sect and a Chu King.
But looking at history, which dynasty, which generation, has a hundred years of peace?
Rise and fall, honor and disgrace, are more concerned with the ruler's own interests, and have little to do with the people.
Don't you hear, Xing, the people are suffering.death, the people suffer.
To put it bluntly, everyone is an egoist, including Jia Ying herself, the eldest brother does not laugh at the second brother, and each other.
"What is greed for profit? It's one thing to understand, but it's another thing to be willing to give in. Another difference is that there is a Jiaxing in Zhejiang, and there is a Li family in Jiaxing, but Fujian does not."
Jia Ying pondered the meaning of Lin Ruhai's words, the Li family, yes, the Li family.
It's like the Jia's mansion in the capital, and the Jia's family in Jinling.
The quasi-weng and his son-in-law had been chatting for a long time, and Lin Ruhai's suggestion gave Jia Ying a clearer understanding of the court situation.
The capital is too dangerous, he was right to hide.
It is said that her daughter is the lover of her father in her previous life. When Daiyu saw her father as she wished, she smiled more and stopped bickering and joking with Xiangyun. I am not satisfied with the board and lodging, what is missing.
Where her father is, it is her home, so she naturally wants to do her best as a landlord.
In an instant, Daiyu felt that she had matured a lot.
Sure enough, no matter how close my grandmother was, she was still inferior to my father after all.
Jia Ying was holding Daiyu's small hand, embracing her boneless delicate body. While chatting, Lin Ruhai suddenly came. It was embarrassing to meet the son-in-law. After all, it was getting late. Looking at Lin Ruhai with a look of guard, Jia Ying Feel wronged.
What bad thoughts could he have? The daughter-in-law is still growing up. Although Daiyu's body is growing up day by day, she is no longer ignorant about the relationship between men and women, and she no longer resists Jia Ying's little hands, kisses, uh, Cough cough, hug occasionally, still can have spring wave in the eye.
But Jia Ying's position is still very firm, before Ji got married, she felt that she would not mess around.
"Ying'er, it's getting late, so don't stay here, go back and rest." Lin Ruhai urged Jia Ying to leave as if chasing someone away, almost saying "get lost".
Seeing her father chasing her lover away, Daiyu complained to Ruhai coquettishly: "Daddy, how can you chase someone away like this."
"Cough cough."
Ruhai suddenly felt a little pain in his heart, it's okay, why don't I let him go back to rest?Is this wrong?Is it inappropriate?
What's the matter?
Lin Ruhai unconsciously covered his heart, his face turned pale.
Seeing this, Daiyu thought that his old illness had recurred, and asked concerned: "Father, what's wrong with you?"
Jia Ying also hurried forward to help, but was pushed away by Ru Hai, who took her daughter's hand and said, "Girl, dad is fine, dad just wants to talk to you, this year and a half, we father and daughter It takes only a few times to see him, alas, this father is incompetent."
With a pitiful appearance, how could he still be the wise, upright, quasi-father-in-law I saw during the day.
As expected, Daiyu was moved to mourn: "It's my daughter who blamed Daddy."
Lin Ruhai immediately changed his expression when he heard the words: "No, no, it's because my father is getting impatient."
"Ying'er?" Lin Ruhai reminded at the right time, and Jia Ying who was standing by the side stupidly.
"Since that's the case, I won't disturb my aunt and my sister's conversation. It just so happens that I'm sleepy after a day's driving."
Jia Ying knew Xian, turned around and walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.
When I left Daiyu's room, I happened to meet Xu Wenyu who had just come out from Tanchun's place and was walking towards her bedroom. Xu Wenyu also saw Jia Ying, but she just glanced at her, then lowered her head and went back to her room, for fear of attracting this devilish man again. After all, this is Daiyu's father's mansion.
Jia Ying looked at the sky, it was too early to go back to her room, so she followed Xu Wenyu's footsteps and went to her room.
I really have no bad intentions, just chatting to pass the lonely night.
"Don't come in." Xu Wenyu blocked the door.
"Why is that?" Jia Ying was puzzled.
Seeing Jia Ying's innocent eyes, Xu Wenyu softened his heart and said, "If it's any other place, I'll follow you, but not here. Master Lin and Sister Daiyu are both here, so we can't be rude."
Jia Ying smiled wryly and said, "I just want to chat with you, where are you going?"
Xu Wenyu blushed and asked back, "Really?"
"More real than real gold."
"Then, just stay for a while."
"Am I that fast? It's an insult to personality." Jia Ying said speechlessly.
"What?" Xu Wenyu had never seen what the car looked like, so he didn't know what it meant.
"It's nothing, I can always go in."
Xu Wenyu turned sideways to let Jia Ying in.
It's just that when they entered the door, both of them turned their bodies sideways, and they were suffering so much. Jia Ying's chest inevitably rubbed against Xu Wenyu's fullness, and his heart skipped a beat.
After entering the door, seeing Jia Ying sitting on the couch alone, Xu Wenyu deliberately distanced herself from Jia Ying and sat on the chair next to her, saying that she couldn't stand next to the couch.
"What are you doing so far away? I won't eat you." Jia Ying said speechlessly, "Come on, come and sit for a while."
"Say what you want to say quickly." Xu Wenyu said nothing.
She didn't have any other thoughts, just innocence, just in case.
Jia Ying was aroused by Xu Wenyu's behavior of guarding against a wolf, so she stood up and hugged Xu Wenyu domineeringly, ignoring the other party's struggle, turned back to sit on the couch, and hugged Xu Wenyu on her lap. Just give up.
"Sit down, if you continue to struggle, I will"
"How about you?"
"What do you think?" Jia Ying chuckled lightly.
He naturally understood that with his father-in-law-to-be, he still had to behave a little better.
However, since he brought Qi Sixian and Xu Wenyu to meet Lin Ruhai, in a sense, he made the matter clear. After all, Sanchun and Xiangyun are relatives, only two of them are not related, but they are still with him.
It's normal for a man to be a man with three wives and four concubines.
Not to mention him, even Lin Ruhai herself has two aunts.Not only Lin Ruhai, but also the entire Jia family knew what was going on, but Jia Ying had a marriage contract, so it was impossible for her to marry her aunt first, so no one mentioned it.
Xu Wenyu really didn't dare to move anymore.
"Why don't you talk?" Seeing that Xu Wenyu hadn't spoken for a long time, Jia Ying asked.
"It was you who wanted to chat with me, but you asked me instead."
"Where's sister Daiyu?"
"I'm talking with my aunt."
Xu Wenyu looked stunned when he heard the words: "It's strange that you thought of coming to my side, because you were kicked out."
Although the words were meant as a joke, Jia Ying noticed the loss in the girl's eyes.
"what happened?"
Xu Wenyu shook his head: "I really envy sister Daiyu, who can still enjoy the love of a loving father."
She knew that this was arousing Xu Wenyu's melancholy again, but she didn't know that if not for a butterfly flapping its wings in this world, Daiyu's ending would not be much better than hers.
It's strange to say that the backgrounds of the women around him are not satisfactory, Qi Sixian is like this, Xu Wenyu is like this, Baochun and Lvrong have lost their parents since they were young, and there is only one Daiyu who is better than them.
"Women can't help their spirits to return to their hometowns. When there is a chance, I will accompany you back to southern Xinjiang."
"Thank you." Xu Wenyu looked at Jia Ying with an expression and said softly.
"You are my woman, what are you talking about thank you for?"
"I just don't know how Fengnian is?"
"Don't worry, I have entrusted my grandfather's family to take care of me. Except that I am not free, everything else is fine. Besides, he is a man, so he has to learn to carry the burden on his shoulders. As a sister, you can still protect him." with him forever?"
"Then what about you brother-in-law?" Xu Wenyu asked back.
Jia Ying shook her head: "He is not only my brother-in-law, but also a rare and pleasing friend."
"but."
"However, I still hope that he can stand up on his own. Everyone has his own mission. My mission is to protect the Lord and you are safe forever. His mission is to continue the incense of the Xu family. In this regard, no one else can replace him."
Xu Wenyu nodded and said, "I understand, as long as his life is saved."
Squeak!
The door was pushed open, and Qi Sixian walked in, seeing the two hugging each other and talking, there was no surprise at all.
"You are not afraid that Master Lin will see you and call off your marriage with Sister Daiyu."
"Why are you here?" Jia Ying asked.
Qi Sixian smiled and said: "Why, blame me for spoiling your good deed?"
Why did she come?
Of course it was because of Jia Ying.
On the boat that day, she felt that there was something going on between the two of them, and she guessed correctly.It's just that there is no need for other places here, she was afraid that Jia Ying would lose control of her lower body and lose courtesy, so she made a special trip here.
"I'm going to sleep with my sister tonight." As he said that, he glared at Jia Ying: "What are you doing, don't be ashamed."
Jia Ying smiled awkwardly and said, "You are not an outsider." But she still let Xu Wenyu go.
When Qi Sixian heard this, his heart trembled.
Looking at the two good sisters around her, one was promised a marriage contract and the other was "killed", if there is no fluctuation in her heart, it is impossible.
Speaking of which, it was Jia Ying who she met first.
If she said that she didn't want to follow him because she didn't want to share the person she likes with others, which woman is really generous to that extent.It's just that as time went by, the friendship between her and Daiyu grew deeper, and the discomfort in her heart had long since dissipated.
But who would have thought that another man appeared in her life, and there was still an unbreakable entanglement between them.
Although she didn't want to admit it, the relationship between her and Jia Ying could no longer be as casual as before, otherwise, she would be causing trouble for the man in front of her.
"It's late at night, are you still here?"
This is driving people away.
Jia Ying had no choice but to get up, she had to remember tonight's day, the time was not good, first she was kicked out by her prospective father-in-law, and then by her own woman.
Silent all night.
In the same night, the Haining Guard of Jiaxing Prefecture, Zhejiang Province encountered a big battle.
Earlier, they had received copies from the military mansion in Hangzhou, asking them to pay close attention to guarding against bandits at sea. In fact, without the reminder from Hangzhou, the news of the gathering of bandits on the sea could not be hidden from Hai Ningwei. too close.
Earlier they had received news that bandits from the Nine Islands and Twelve Reefs had gathered near the Yushan Islands, but that was under the jurisdiction of the Fujian Navy, so Zhejiang didn't care much.
Who would have thought that those bandits suddenly turned and came north to the Shengsi Islands.
At this moment, the Zhejiang navy became nervous, because the closest to the Shengsi Islands were Hainingwei and Jinshanwei. However, Jinshanwei belonged to the navy under the jurisdiction of Nanzhili and was not dispatched by Zhejiang.
In order to keep the sea area safe, Commander Haining sent a quick horse to the Chief Secretary of Zhejiang to ask for help, but the sea area of Zhejiang is too long, no one is sure where those bandits will choose to land if they want to violate the border, and the Chief Secretary of Zhejiang dare not It is easy to transfer the navy from other places to the north to support Haining, so we can only order the Haining guards to guard against it.
After receiving the letter from the commander of Haining Guard, he cursed at the capital for being incompetent. It was obvious that the Shengsi Islands were the closest to them, and with the recent rumors, could it be possible that they had to take a long way to attack other places?
Sure enough, after taking precautions day and night, a big change happened.
The headquarters of Haining Guard, because it had been prepared long ago, was discovered when the group of bandits approached with small boats to attack.
Although the opponent didn't take the lead, but Haining Guard's headquarters has only two thousand people, while there are tens of thousands of bandits on the opposite side. What's more, the Jiuhai Road has its own gunboats, and there is one less. , there are more than five or six ships, dozens of gunboats united, how can a small Haining be able to resist.
What's more terrible is that all the officers and soldiers of the Zhapu Institute rebelled and turned to the enemy. Haining Guard faced simultaneous attacks at sea and on the road in an instant. head off.
After the bandits went ashore, they left a group of troops guarding their retreat, and the rest of them marched mightily towards the city of Jiaxing.
Shouting the slogan "Kill corrupt officials, divide the land, overthrow the Lijiapu, kill to Jinling City", aggressive.
The magistrate of Jiaxing Prefecture heard that the thieves were besieging the city, got up from the bed of two concubines, climbed up to the top of the city in disheveled clothes, looked at the crowds of people outside the city, as well as the artillery and firecrackers, and was so scared that he pissed his pants.
Shouted: "Woe! Woe!"
Then, he took a group of scoundrels and headed to Jiaxing City, Li's house.
Hangzhou, Weaving Yamen.
Early the next morning, before the fifth watch, Jia Ying was called out by someone sent by Lin Ruhai.
The Jiaxing mansion was besieged, and the Li family spread the news to the people in the city, saying that once the thieves broke through the city, no one, men, women, or children would be left alive.
In Jiaxing Mansion, Haiyan and Pinghu have all fallen one after another, and the bandits are heading towards Hangzhou. When the news came out, they were attacking Tongxiang County.
"Didn't you already notify the Dusi Yamen?" Jia Ying asked in surprise.
Tens of thousands of bandits, where did so many people come from?
Where did Jia Ying know from Song Lun before that the small overseas islands are so powerful that they can support 1 people, why did they suddenly double?
"The Dusi did not deploy troops to reinforce Haining." Lin Ruhai said with a wry smile.
"It's time to kill!" Jia Ying showed a fierce look.
"Now is not the time to talk about these things, Ying'er, you should escort Daiyu and the others back to Jinling immediately. I can't feel at ease when she is here."
"What about you?"
"As an official of the imperial court, I have the responsibility to guard the land, so I can't leave."
"Sister Yu'er won't agree." Jia Ying shook her head.
It is also impossible for him to leave Lin Ruhai alone.
"This matter hasn't been spread yet, let's keep it a secret from them." Lin Ruhai's only concern was her daughter.
Seeing that Jia Ying remained silent, Lin Ruhai asked anxiously, "Do you want to see them fall into the hands of bandits?"
Jia Ying calmed herself down.
"Haining Guard has made a mistake, and Jinshan Guard may not be able to recover. Jinling may not be safe."
"But Hangzhou definitely can't stay, aunt, you can't stay here either."
"I can't go." Lin Ruhai said stubbornly.
"Preserve the useful body and mobilize the Jiangnan army in the name of imperial envoy. Only then will it be possible to quell this rebellion. This matter must be done by my aunt. Although I am an official in the Ministry of War, I have no right to deploy troops. My lord, the overall situation is the most important."
"I can give you my name card, you go back to Jinling to mobilize the army left behind in the old capital."
"My aunt will not understand the principle of saving people and losing land, and losing both people and land. Besides, mobilizing the army is a trifling matter. There are six yamen in Nanjing, and there are no imperial envoys to take charge of the government. Dare to obey, lose your head!"
"Grandpa, you have to make a decision when you are faced with a major event, and make a decisive decision!"
(End of this chapter)
After staying in Jinling for a few days, Jia Ying took everyone to Hangzhou, but there was one person missing in this trip.
Xue Biao and Baoqin's father were ill and had been bedridden for more than half a month. When they were welcoming Jia Ying that day, Xue Biao made a quick appearance and left early, leaving only Xue's uncles and uncles to accompany him.
Only because Baochai and others had just settled down, so I didn't mention it in detail, and at that time Xue Tiansi was only insignificant. I don't think it's only been a few days, and even tea and rice need to be served.
After hearing the news, Jia Ying also accompanied Baochai to visit twice. Leaving aside the relationship between Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue, after Baochai's father passed away, Xue Tiansi was the head of the Xue family. Ying took it seriously.
Furthermore, Baochai's father didn't live early, and his uncle took care of the family, so he had deep feelings.The person was brought back to Jinling by Jia Ying, and he did not look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face, so Jia Ying went there twice, once to represent Jia's family, and once to accompany Baochai on a special trip.
According to Xue Biao, he was paralyzed on one side of his body earlier and needed needles to alleviate it. A while ago, there was an east wind in Jinling. Eyes slanting, mouth drooling.
However, people can still move. The Xue family has invited many famous experts. Who would have thought that people are not getting better at all, but it is getting worse and worse. Up to now, they have been completely paralyzed, and the right half of their body is completely unconscious. ah.
Although Jia Ying is not proficient in medical skills, but he has read a lot of books, and he can judge one or two common symptoms. This kind of symptom is still second to stroke, which should be cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Cerebral hemorrhage, Jia Ying did not know.
Jia Ying had relatives who had suffered from this type of illness in her previous life, so she was quite familiar with it, and it was similar to the symptoms Xue Biao described.
With the current level of medical treatment, there is a high probability that people will be like that.
Perhaps, the miracle doctor he met in Shanyin may come again, and maybe he can increase his lifespan. His medical skills are considered to be the best that Jia Ying has ever encountered in this world.
It's a pity that the grandpa and grandson of the Chang family rejected his invitation at the beginning, and still chose to travel around the world, treating diseases and saving lives, and now they don't know where he is.
It's really Gaoshi.
Probably because Xue Tiansi didn't live long.
The law of heaven rotates and rises and falls in an orderly manner. In the world, there are few wealthy families with a thousand years of history. Most of them have been blessed for three generations, and very few can be called a century-old family.
Like those famous families with big surnames that have survived from ancient times, they can be passed down to this day, more because of the inheritance of one surname, but not in the same line, and most of them are mixed together and loose clans, which are still different from the concept of family.
The Xue family has been a famous family in Jinling since the late period of the previous dynasty, and it has lasted for more than a hundred years. It has been rich for a long time, and Fuze can't keep up.
In the generation of Xue Pan and Xue Bian, the population is thin, the master is weak and the side is prosperous, most of the properties of the direct line are divided by the side line, and even the servants in the family are faintly growing.
In the old days, Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people.
Even Wang Xie's family is like this, let alone another family.
This incident inevitably added a somewhat depressing atmosphere to the girls' trip to Jiangnan. They had been together for a long time, and Baochai knew how to behave. Seeing her sad appearance that day, the girls naturally felt uncomfortable.
So Jia Ying took this opportunity to take the girls to Hangzhou, each with its own destiny, and finally came out, so I can't be spared. If I want to have this opportunity in the future, I don't know how long it will be, especially Sanchun, when they get married, even Jia Ying, the elder brother, can't continue to take them on a tour.
Let's do it, and cherish it.
Seeing things and thinking about others, Daiyu was greatly affected. She was originally a sentimental character, and when she saw Uncle Xue's situation, she couldn't help but think of her own father.
Although Lin Ruhai's fate has changed, he was born with a weak body, which is extremely difficult to change the day after tomorrow, and his body is still weak.
"We're going to Hangzhou soon, my sister will see my aunt soon." On the bow of the boat, Jia Ying appeared beside Daiyu at some point, and comforted her softly.
"I heard from Sister Baochai that the Zhejiang and Fujian areas have not been doing well since this year, but I don't know what happened to my father."
Baochai probably heard about it from the Xue family. The Xue family is deeply rooted in the south of the Yangtze River. Sometimes, what they know is more detailed than what Jia Ying knows.
Jia Ying didn't know how to comfort Daiyu, because he had heard something.
There is no need to hear the truth from Yucun, but he knows that Jia Yucun did not stay in Jinling for a moment after the land invasion case was settled. It is said that he went to Fujian in person, and there were several villages there. Take the lead in making a fuss.
Jia Ying learned a lot of news from the Jinling clan. The Jia family bought land for the purpose of selling mulberry to the government. The clan also recently purchased a lot of land in Fujian and Zhejiang, and now some of them have been sold. With Yucun here, he naturally made a lot of money.
For the remaining part, the Jia family will plant mulberries and let the tenant farmers produce cloth. In the future, when they trade with the Taixi people, each family will get a share of the profits, as long as they pay the commercial tax in full.
Similar to what the Jia family did, there are not a few of the big families in the south of the Yangtze River.
Most of those rich merchants are attached to these big families.
The reason why Fujian is so chaotic is because the local prominent families reject them, who have surnames from other provinces.Thinking about it, I understand, but anyone who has a relationship with the DPRK and China knows that they can make a lot of money by taking advantage of Sangchang’s shareholder style. When they buy land, don’t they spare no effort? of.
Just like a pack of wolves, big families have their own territory divisions. If you put your hand in my pot, there will be trouble.
It's just that Jinling is powerful, and the local prominent families in Fujian are hard to resist, so they incite the people to make troubles, and the means are various, such as raising rents and taxes, or simply using the pretext of the government's land acquisition, and taking away the people's livelihood. The foundation, the purpose is to force those muddy legs to make a fuss, and when things get serious, we will see who can win.
After hearing this kind of operation, even Jia Ying felt very enlightened.
He originally thought that it was just local gentry oppressing the people, or that the big clans with damaged interests were clamoring behind their backs, but he did not expect that this farce originated from local protectionism.
At the same time, Jia Ying also felt a chill down her back, and she always felt that something was wrong here.
If he hadn't come to Jiangnan in person, even with the eyes of his two generations, he would not be able to understand that there are still so many ways in it.
But just because he can't understand it doesn't mean that no one in this world can understand it.
Jia Ying never dared to rely on her two worlds to underestimate the people of the world. Such a thing as talent is very unreasonable.
Some people have lived their entire lives without understanding things, but for those favored by heaven, it is just a glance.
It feels like someone is digging a hole, and it's a series of holes.
Calm down and think about it, the beginning of all this should be the New Deal.
Because of the New Deal, the emperor and Fu Donglai joined forces to get rid of the first stumbling block, Xu Zhemu.
The tragic situation of the second child aroused the eldest brother's desire to survive, so the eldest brother began to move closer to the emperor.
But if you want to be regarded as a confidant, you have to have a certificate, right?
What does the emperor lack?silver.
As a result, a silk trade with a high trade volume of several million taels came out, along with the decree to change rice to mulberry.
Once Sang changed the government order, the big families in the Jiangnan area, and the rich businessmen and tycoons they supported behind them, couldn't sit still.
Then, the people started to make trouble again.
The court, on the other hand, has always been on the sidelines with all this.
Of course, Jiade had to be put aside here, his own country, of course he felt sorry for him, but the emperor was not equal to the imperial court.
What is the purpose of watching with cold eyes?
Of course, the princes in the court have their own thoughts.
Some are desperate and have no way out;
What are they waiting for?
Some people expect Sangai to land smoothly; some people expect that when things in the south get bigger and those people with ulterior motives can't suppress them, they can take action to rectify them; some people may be waiting for the jump. The one that comes out jumps out and then.
In the end, all this still has to go back to the starting point, which is the New Deal.
If you want to implement the New Deal, you must first remove the obstacles on the road, and everything that happened above is probably a preparation for the New Deal to clear the obstacles.
At that time, I am afraid that none of the officials in the court and the rich and powerful local gentry will be able to escape and will have to be liquidated.
Kill two birds with one stone!
This is something that Jia Ying can barely understand, and maybe there is something he hasn't understood until now.
hiss!
Treacherous and cunning, so deep!
Jia Ying thinks again, can the land invasion case really be avoided as he wished?
"Xi'er."
"Second Master, I'm here."
"Let the boatman land in front of the shore, and you rush back to Jinling with my name card, and tell the elders of the family that the Jia family will no longer participate in the matter of changing rice into mulberry from now on. , These days, you will stay in Jinling and watch."
"Understood, Second Master."
"Also, let the clan elders convey my words to the other three families. Whether they listen or not, it's up to them."
Xi'er responded and left.
"Did something happen?" Seeing Jia Ying's sudden and unusual behavior, Daiyu asked worriedly.
Usually, Sanchun Qi Sixian and the others also came over.
Jia Ying shook her head: "It's nothing, I just thought of something and took some remedial measures, so don't worry about it."
It's useless to know, but it will only increase your troubles. It's better to be carefree.
There is heaven, there are Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Since the Three Kingdoms and Jin Dynasties, the economic center of this land began to move southward. In the Five Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties, the north and the south were equal. After the Song Dynasty, the economy of the south has completely surpassed that of the north.
As the most beautiful place in the south of the Yangtze River, Suzhou and Hangzhou have naturally become the most prosperous place in the south, bar none.
There is a saying in the poem: "wealth is bestowed on Nanzhou, and Cihua is merged with Xijing."
During the reign of Xuanlong, "Wu and Wu eat" has become the consensus of the big cadres. The former Minister of the Ministry of Households once said: "The seven prefectures of Su, Song, Chang, Zhen, Jia, Hu, and Hangzhou have a wealth of money and grain, and the supply and demand are top-notch. in the world."
These seven prefectures are all in the province of Zhejiang.
If it is said that Jinling is the land of misty moons in the Six Dynasties and is loved by poets and poets, then this land of Suzhou and Hangzhou is a paradise for merchants.
During this journey, what he saw and heard, everyone talked about business, even Jia Ying met two groups of Thai and Western people.
Dagan's attitude towards overseas trade is somewhat ambiguous, neither supporting nor completely prohibiting it. Foreign merchants can go ashore as long as they go to the shipping department stipulated by the imperial court and pay a full amount of commercial taxes.
These merchants all came from Guangzhou for the porcelain, silk, and cotton cloth unique to Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Some people may be curious, since the imperial court opened the Shibosi port in Guangdong, why is it not Guangzhou that is flourishing in commerce, but Suzhou and Hangzhou?
Huang Daopo's spinning machine has gradually become popular in Dagan, and new weaving machines have been used in many places. Why is Songjiang cloth unique in the world?And the land of Suzhou and Hangzhou, as the origin of silk and cotton cloth trade, seems irreplaceable.
The reason for this is also very simple, starting with the word food.
Farming civilization, farming is the most important thing.
The basis for the development of the handicraft industry is also inseparable from food.
Only when there is enough food produced and the people no longer worry about hunger, will they use their spare time to engage in economic production.
But theoretically speaking, rice in Guangdong can be harvested three times a year, and in Suzhou and Hangzhou, only a few areas can be harvested twice a year.
From this hearing, it seems that Guangdong has more advantages.
In fact, the growth of crops requires not only rain and sunshine, but also the fertility of the land, and the fertility of the land is limited. Two rice crops a year will not affect the next year's harvest, but if you want to grow winter rice, the next year The harvest will be greatly affected.
This is still the second.
In fact, Guangdong has always been a major province of grain transfer, and food shortage is the current situation in Guangdong.
Compared with Guangdong, the advantage of Suzhou and Hangzhou is that there are fewer hills and more plains. However, Guangdong still has a lot of land that belongs to barbaric land, with dense forests and hills. Under the current conditions, the grain output cannot be compared with that of Suzhou and Hangzhou. Compare.
At the very least, it won't be able to catch up in a short time.
Furthermore, compared with Suzhou and Hangzhou, the development time of Guangdong is still later, and the farming technology is relatively backward.
Because of this, Suzhou and Hangzhou have occupied the economic center of gravity until now.
When the group arrived in Hangzhou City, Lin Ruhai had already received the news and sent someone to pick them up.
Everyone arrived at the place where Lin Ruhai stayed, the weaving Yamen in Hangzhou.
Suzhou gardens are unrivaled in the world, and Hangzhou and Suzhou are separated by one place, so they have been affected to some extent.
The Hangzhou Weaving Bureau is obviously a government office, but it gives people the feeling of a rich man's manor.
When Jia Ying saw it at first sight, she was attracted by the scenery here. Humanistic freehand brushwork and mountains and rivers are combined, and the structural layout is in harmony with the scenery. Pavilions, pavilions, springs, stones, flowers and trees are skillfully integrated together.
This is true of Jia Ying, let alone a few girls, who fell in love with this place immediately.
Lin Ruhai still looked like a weak scribe, and after talking briefly with Daiyu, he arranged for everyone to stay, and the sisters went to the garden together, only Jia Ying stayed alone.
"Every time you come here is not the right time." After Lin Ruhai invited Jia Ying to take a seat, he smiled wryly and sighed, his words were full of helplessness.
When Jia Ying heard this, she remembered the last time she brought Daiyu back to Yangzhou to visit relatives.
Hard to do.
"But because of Sang Gai?" Jia Ying asked.
Lin Ruhai nodded with worry on his face.
"Recently, the two provinces of Zhejiang and Fujian are not at peace."
"Didn't it mean that civil unrest occurred only in Fujian province? Why did Zhejiang also start?"
Lin Ruhai shook his head and said: "The first batch of silk and cotton cloth transported south to Guangzhou was robbed in Fujian, some of them were taken away, and the rest were burned."
Which hero did the next great thing?This was Jia Ying's first reaction.
This is no less serious than Chao Tianwang robbing Liang Zhongshu's birthday outline.
I only heard Lin Ruhai continue to say: "Afterwards, the Fujian Buzheng Yamen sent soldiers to chase them down, and finally found that the gang of thieves settled in a fishing village along the coast."
"Is it an act of collusion between sea bandits and local people?" Jia Ying asked.
Lin Ruhai shook his head and said, "It's not just collusion. Most of those bandits are young and strong from nearby villages. Some of them died for several years in the government to avoid corvee, and now they suddenly came back to life."
"The civil unrest in Fujian a few days ago was because of this?" Jia Ying understood why Jia Yucun left so anxiously.
Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "The people in the sixteen villages have all been arrested, as well as the bandits who went ashore. It is said that this matter was done by two large groups of pirates at sea. Many of the people who were arrested They are all their relatives."
There are sixteen people in the village, how come there are almost a thousand people, such a big commotion?
"According to reports from officers and soldiers of the guards in Haining, Guanhai, Longshan and other places, it is said that a large number of bandits have gathered near the Shengsi Islands not far from Hangzhou. I am worried that there will be trouble."
"Since the accident happened in Fujian, why did it involve Zhejiang?" Jia Ying was puzzled.
Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Ying, chuckled lightly and said, "You forgot whose hometown is Zhejiang?"
After a moment of silence, Jia Ying blurted out, "Old Li Ge?"
Lin Ruhai nodded.
"I don't know who spread the news. It is said that the change of rice to mulberry policy was done by Mr. Li Ge. The intention is to seek personal gain for the Li party, cut off the livelihood of the people, and enrich the officials in Jiangnan. It is said that the Li family in Jiaxing Mansion has millions of stones in grain storage, countless gold, silver and jewels, and even the steps in front of their house are made of white jade."
No matter how it sounds, it doesn't look like the Li family, but it looks like the Jia family.
White jade is the horse for Tang Jin.
"Let's not talk about the Li family, it's true that the officials in the south of the Yangtze River have been fattened up." Jia Ying said shamelessly.
"So, what is the purpose of the person who you said said this?"
"Think about it again, the Shengsi Islands are not far from Hangzhou, but they are even closer to Jiaxing Mansion." Lin Ruhai's eyes were burning.
"Over there at Haining Guard," Jia Ying said worriedly.
"People have been sent to Xin'er, Jinshan and Haining guards are ready to deal with it."
Even so, Jia Ying could sense worry from Lin Ruhai's expression.
"Before I came to Fujian, I also knew about the situation. Now that the situation is up, it is clear that those big families are agitating the people for their own self-interest. If they want to solve this matter, they have to start with these big families. "
Jia Ying knew that Lin Ruhai was ordered by Jiade to go south to supervise the implementation of Sanggai. Whether this matter can be handled well is related to the future of his father-in-law. Once there is a major change, the local officials cannot escape, but Lin Ruhai, like Jia Yucun, bears the brunt.
As a prospective son-in-law, Jia Ying naturally wanted to help out.
Lin Ruhai sighed softly and said, "Why don't I know, but the involvement is too big, too big to be able to do anything about it, behind these big clans there are local officials' shadows, and the whole body is affected by it, let alone me, Even if Elder Fu Ge came in person, it would be impossible to clean up all the families."
"What about uniting one side to suppress the other? Didn't those big families in Nanzhili set their sights on the land in Fujian?" Jia Ying said again.
Lin Ruhai glanced at Jia Ying with a smile, then asked after a pause, "Ying'er, do you know why the big families in Nanzhili are eyeing Fujian instead of Zhejiang?"
Jia Ying shook her head, and said uncertainly, "You're easy to bully?"
Lin Ruhai laughed when he heard the words, and said: "Three words, but the Tao has exhausted its advantages and disadvantages, Ying'er, you are born to be an official."
Jia Ying said with embarrassment: "Master, I'm just guessing randomly. The big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish eat dried shrimps. It's similar to leading soldiers to fight. Pick the soft persimmons first."
"The words are not rough."
Lin Ruhai said: "Jinling has many nobles, like the four families of King Xue of Jiashi, and the Dongping Palace. Well, the Zhen family can also be counted as one. These noble families are an interest group. Officials in Zhejiang or The rich and famous families are more or less involved with the Li family in Jiaxing Mansion, and they hugged together again. If they come down, they will be officials from Fujian."
"The chief envoy of Fujian is from Zhejiang, and the inspector is from Jiangxi. There is only one chief envoy who is from Fujian. Yinger, do you understand?"
"The local government in Fujian is not of one mind." Jia Ying said leisurely.
Lin Ruhai nodded.
"This is just one of them. Whether it's Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian, or Jiangxi, all the officials in court privately attribute them to the Jiangnan faction."
This Jia Ying understood that the banner bearer of the Jiangnan faction was none other than Li Endi.
"Then what else do you see?" Lin Ruhai asked, with the meaning of a test in his words.
what else?
Jia Ying was stunned.
Jinling, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Jiangxi are all supporters of the Li Party.
Two words flashed in Jia Ying's mind: "Infighting?"
"Children can be taught." Lin Ruhai nodded in relief.
At this point, Jia Ying became suspicious again.
"Mr. Li Ge doesn't know what's going on here? Does he just watch?"
Looking at one's own foundation, ruined by internal strife?
Lin Ruhai shook his head and said, "I can't guess Li Ge's thoughts, but I can understand Fu Ge's thoughts."
At this time, Jia Ying also understood that it was obvious that Fu Ge was always playing tricks.
Before coming here, he thought he had seen clearly enough, but now it seems that what he thought he understood was only what he thought.
Sure enough, those who can be elected to the cabinet are all old coins.
Compared with them, Yucun is a younger brother.
"That's why I've been pushed down many times when I went to the shuffle."
"If that's the case, then why?" Jia Ying didn't finish, but Lin Ruhai could understand.
"I do something but don't do something. My ambition is not as big as Mr. Fu Ge's. I can't see the long-term. I only see that the people are devastated and the people are in dire straits."
Lin Ruhai's mood suddenly became depressed, and he looked at Jia Ying and said, "I only admire one of the princes of the Manchu Dynasty."
"Who?"
"Your teacher, Duke Feng."
"He's still that smelly, hard rock."
Hearing that her future father-in-law praised her teacher so highly, Jia Ying didn't know how to feel.
"Uncle, the teacher is not alone, there are many officials behind him to support him."
Who would have thought that Lin Ruhai sneered, and said with disdain, "Fake Qingliu."
Jia Ying: "."
"I also know those people in the academy. When I was in Yangzhou, I went there a few times. You are still younger."
"Wish to hear the teaching."
"From the moment they called out 'Nanxuan Party', they were not worthy of being called 'Qingliu'. Otherwise, your teacher, why would you reject them."
No wonder.
At the beginning, Jia Ying also asked her teacher why he was alone in the court, why he didn't use those people for his own use, but refused to be the leader of the "Nanxuan Party".
Feng Hengshi just smiled and didn't answer.
Now it seems that I still don't know my teacher well enough.
In fact, if he and Feng Hengshi did not have the status of master and apprentice, and if there was no matter about Huguang, the teacher and the student would be completely two-way people. On the contrary, Lin Ruhai and his teacher's temperament were more compatible.
"What about those officials in Jiangnan? Don't they understand that cooperation benefits both sides, and mutual internal friction will only benefit outsiders in vain."
Jia Ying has no hatred for Li Dang, let alone his family, even what he experienced in his previous life, should he form a party, why not form a party?
Li Dang has been in power for many years, and the life of the people has never been better, nor can it be worse.
The only change is that there is a White Lotus Sect and a Chu King.
But looking at history, which dynasty, which generation, has a hundred years of peace?
Rise and fall, honor and disgrace, are more concerned with the ruler's own interests, and have little to do with the people.
Don't you hear, Xing, the people are suffering.death, the people suffer.
To put it bluntly, everyone is an egoist, including Jia Ying herself, the eldest brother does not laugh at the second brother, and each other.
"What is greed for profit? It's one thing to understand, but it's another thing to be willing to give in. Another difference is that there is a Jiaxing in Zhejiang, and there is a Li family in Jiaxing, but Fujian does not."
Jia Ying pondered the meaning of Lin Ruhai's words, the Li family, yes, the Li family.
It's like the Jia's mansion in the capital, and the Jia's family in Jinling.
The quasi-weng and his son-in-law had been chatting for a long time, and Lin Ruhai's suggestion gave Jia Ying a clearer understanding of the court situation.
The capital is too dangerous, he was right to hide.
It is said that her daughter is the lover of her father in her previous life. When Daiyu saw her father as she wished, she smiled more and stopped bickering and joking with Xiangyun. I am not satisfied with the board and lodging, what is missing.
Where her father is, it is her home, so she naturally wants to do her best as a landlord.
In an instant, Daiyu felt that she had matured a lot.
Sure enough, no matter how close my grandmother was, she was still inferior to my father after all.
Jia Ying was holding Daiyu's small hand, embracing her boneless delicate body. While chatting, Lin Ruhai suddenly came. It was embarrassing to meet the son-in-law. After all, it was getting late. Looking at Lin Ruhai with a look of guard, Jia Ying Feel wronged.
What bad thoughts could he have? The daughter-in-law is still growing up. Although Daiyu's body is growing up day by day, she is no longer ignorant about the relationship between men and women, and she no longer resists Jia Ying's little hands, kisses, uh, Cough cough, hug occasionally, still can have spring wave in the eye.
But Jia Ying's position is still very firm, before Ji got married, she felt that she would not mess around.
"Ying'er, it's getting late, so don't stay here, go back and rest." Lin Ruhai urged Jia Ying to leave as if chasing someone away, almost saying "get lost".
Seeing her father chasing her lover away, Daiyu complained to Ruhai coquettishly: "Daddy, how can you chase someone away like this."
"Cough cough."
Ruhai suddenly felt a little pain in his heart, it's okay, why don't I let him go back to rest?Is this wrong?Is it inappropriate?
What's the matter?
Lin Ruhai unconsciously covered his heart, his face turned pale.
Seeing this, Daiyu thought that his old illness had recurred, and asked concerned: "Father, what's wrong with you?"
Jia Ying also hurried forward to help, but was pushed away by Ru Hai, who took her daughter's hand and said, "Girl, dad is fine, dad just wants to talk to you, this year and a half, we father and daughter It takes only a few times to see him, alas, this father is incompetent."
With a pitiful appearance, how could he still be the wise, upright, quasi-father-in-law I saw during the day.
As expected, Daiyu was moved to mourn: "It's my daughter who blamed Daddy."
Lin Ruhai immediately changed his expression when he heard the words: "No, no, it's because my father is getting impatient."
"Ying'er?" Lin Ruhai reminded at the right time, and Jia Ying who was standing by the side stupidly.
"Since that's the case, I won't disturb my aunt and my sister's conversation. It just so happens that I'm sleepy after a day's driving."
Jia Ying knew Xian, turned around and walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.
When I left Daiyu's room, I happened to meet Xu Wenyu who had just come out from Tanchun's place and was walking towards her bedroom. Xu Wenyu also saw Jia Ying, but she just glanced at her, then lowered her head and went back to her room, for fear of attracting this devilish man again. After all, this is Daiyu's father's mansion.
Jia Ying looked at the sky, it was too early to go back to her room, so she followed Xu Wenyu's footsteps and went to her room.
I really have no bad intentions, just chatting to pass the lonely night.
"Don't come in." Xu Wenyu blocked the door.
"Why is that?" Jia Ying was puzzled.
Seeing Jia Ying's innocent eyes, Xu Wenyu softened his heart and said, "If it's any other place, I'll follow you, but not here. Master Lin and Sister Daiyu are both here, so we can't be rude."
Jia Ying smiled wryly and said, "I just want to chat with you, where are you going?"
Xu Wenyu blushed and asked back, "Really?"
"More real than real gold."
"Then, just stay for a while."
"Am I that fast? It's an insult to personality." Jia Ying said speechlessly.
"What?" Xu Wenyu had never seen what the car looked like, so he didn't know what it meant.
"It's nothing, I can always go in."
Xu Wenyu turned sideways to let Jia Ying in.
It's just that when they entered the door, both of them turned their bodies sideways, and they were suffering so much. Jia Ying's chest inevitably rubbed against Xu Wenyu's fullness, and his heart skipped a beat.
After entering the door, seeing Jia Ying sitting on the couch alone, Xu Wenyu deliberately distanced herself from Jia Ying and sat on the chair next to her, saying that she couldn't stand next to the couch.
"What are you doing so far away? I won't eat you." Jia Ying said speechlessly, "Come on, come and sit for a while."
"Say what you want to say quickly." Xu Wenyu said nothing.
She didn't have any other thoughts, just innocence, just in case.
Jia Ying was aroused by Xu Wenyu's behavior of guarding against a wolf, so she stood up and hugged Xu Wenyu domineeringly, ignoring the other party's struggle, turned back to sit on the couch, and hugged Xu Wenyu on her lap. Just give up.
"Sit down, if you continue to struggle, I will"
"How about you?"
"What do you think?" Jia Ying chuckled lightly.
He naturally understood that with his father-in-law-to-be, he still had to behave a little better.
However, since he brought Qi Sixian and Xu Wenyu to meet Lin Ruhai, in a sense, he made the matter clear. After all, Sanchun and Xiangyun are relatives, only two of them are not related, but they are still with him.
It's normal for a man to be a man with three wives and four concubines.
Not to mention him, even Lin Ruhai herself has two aunts.Not only Lin Ruhai, but also the entire Jia family knew what was going on, but Jia Ying had a marriage contract, so it was impossible for her to marry her aunt first, so no one mentioned it.
Xu Wenyu really didn't dare to move anymore.
"Why don't you talk?" Seeing that Xu Wenyu hadn't spoken for a long time, Jia Ying asked.
"It was you who wanted to chat with me, but you asked me instead."
"Where's sister Daiyu?"
"I'm talking with my aunt."
Xu Wenyu looked stunned when he heard the words: "It's strange that you thought of coming to my side, because you were kicked out."
Although the words were meant as a joke, Jia Ying noticed the loss in the girl's eyes.
"what happened?"
Xu Wenyu shook his head: "I really envy sister Daiyu, who can still enjoy the love of a loving father."
She knew that this was arousing Xu Wenyu's melancholy again, but she didn't know that if not for a butterfly flapping its wings in this world, Daiyu's ending would not be much better than hers.
It's strange to say that the backgrounds of the women around him are not satisfactory, Qi Sixian is like this, Xu Wenyu is like this, Baochun and Lvrong have lost their parents since they were young, and there is only one Daiyu who is better than them.
"Women can't help their spirits to return to their hometowns. When there is a chance, I will accompany you back to southern Xinjiang."
"Thank you." Xu Wenyu looked at Jia Ying with an expression and said softly.
"You are my woman, what are you talking about thank you for?"
"I just don't know how Fengnian is?"
"Don't worry, I have entrusted my grandfather's family to take care of me. Except that I am not free, everything else is fine. Besides, he is a man, so he has to learn to carry the burden on his shoulders. As a sister, you can still protect him." with him forever?"
"Then what about you brother-in-law?" Xu Wenyu asked back.
Jia Ying shook her head: "He is not only my brother-in-law, but also a rare and pleasing friend."
"but."
"However, I still hope that he can stand up on his own. Everyone has his own mission. My mission is to protect the Lord and you are safe forever. His mission is to continue the incense of the Xu family. In this regard, no one else can replace him."
Xu Wenyu nodded and said, "I understand, as long as his life is saved."
Squeak!
The door was pushed open, and Qi Sixian walked in, seeing the two hugging each other and talking, there was no surprise at all.
"You are not afraid that Master Lin will see you and call off your marriage with Sister Daiyu."
"Why are you here?" Jia Ying asked.
Qi Sixian smiled and said: "Why, blame me for spoiling your good deed?"
Why did she come?
Of course it was because of Jia Ying.
On the boat that day, she felt that there was something going on between the two of them, and she guessed correctly.It's just that there is no need for other places here, she was afraid that Jia Ying would lose control of her lower body and lose courtesy, so she made a special trip here.
"I'm going to sleep with my sister tonight." As he said that, he glared at Jia Ying: "What are you doing, don't be ashamed."
Jia Ying smiled awkwardly and said, "You are not an outsider." But she still let Xu Wenyu go.
When Qi Sixian heard this, his heart trembled.
Looking at the two good sisters around her, one was promised a marriage contract and the other was "killed", if there is no fluctuation in her heart, it is impossible.
Speaking of which, it was Jia Ying who she met first.
If she said that she didn't want to follow him because she didn't want to share the person she likes with others, which woman is really generous to that extent.It's just that as time went by, the friendship between her and Daiyu grew deeper, and the discomfort in her heart had long since dissipated.
But who would have thought that another man appeared in her life, and there was still an unbreakable entanglement between them.
Although she didn't want to admit it, the relationship between her and Jia Ying could no longer be as casual as before, otherwise, she would be causing trouble for the man in front of her.
"It's late at night, are you still here?"
This is driving people away.
Jia Ying had no choice but to get up, she had to remember tonight's day, the time was not good, first she was kicked out by her prospective father-in-law, and then by her own woman.
Silent all night.
In the same night, the Haining Guard of Jiaxing Prefecture, Zhejiang Province encountered a big battle.
Earlier, they had received copies from the military mansion in Hangzhou, asking them to pay close attention to guarding against bandits at sea. In fact, without the reminder from Hangzhou, the news of the gathering of bandits on the sea could not be hidden from Hai Ningwei. too close.
Earlier they had received news that bandits from the Nine Islands and Twelve Reefs had gathered near the Yushan Islands, but that was under the jurisdiction of the Fujian Navy, so Zhejiang didn't care much.
Who would have thought that those bandits suddenly turned and came north to the Shengsi Islands.
At this moment, the Zhejiang navy became nervous, because the closest to the Shengsi Islands were Hainingwei and Jinshanwei. However, Jinshanwei belonged to the navy under the jurisdiction of Nanzhili and was not dispatched by Zhejiang.
In order to keep the sea area safe, Commander Haining sent a quick horse to the Chief Secretary of Zhejiang to ask for help, but the sea area of Zhejiang is too long, no one is sure where those bandits will choose to land if they want to violate the border, and the Chief Secretary of Zhejiang dare not It is easy to transfer the navy from other places to the north to support Haining, so we can only order the Haining guards to guard against it.
After receiving the letter from the commander of Haining Guard, he cursed at the capital for being incompetent. It was obvious that the Shengsi Islands were the closest to them, and with the recent rumors, could it be possible that they had to take a long way to attack other places?
Sure enough, after taking precautions day and night, a big change happened.
The headquarters of Haining Guard, because it had been prepared long ago, was discovered when the group of bandits approached with small boats to attack.
Although the opponent didn't take the lead, but Haining Guard's headquarters has only two thousand people, while there are tens of thousands of bandits on the opposite side. What's more, the Jiuhai Road has its own gunboats, and there is one less. , there are more than five or six ships, dozens of gunboats united, how can a small Haining be able to resist.
What's more terrible is that all the officers and soldiers of the Zhapu Institute rebelled and turned to the enemy. Haining Guard faced simultaneous attacks at sea and on the road in an instant. head off.
After the bandits went ashore, they left a group of troops guarding their retreat, and the rest of them marched mightily towards the city of Jiaxing.
Shouting the slogan "Kill corrupt officials, divide the land, overthrow the Lijiapu, kill to Jinling City", aggressive.
The magistrate of Jiaxing Prefecture heard that the thieves were besieging the city, got up from the bed of two concubines, climbed up to the top of the city in disheveled clothes, looked at the crowds of people outside the city, as well as the artillery and firecrackers, and was so scared that he pissed his pants.
Shouted: "Woe! Woe!"
Then, he took a group of scoundrels and headed to Jiaxing City, Li's house.
Hangzhou, Weaving Yamen.
Early the next morning, before the fifth watch, Jia Ying was called out by someone sent by Lin Ruhai.
The Jiaxing mansion was besieged, and the Li family spread the news to the people in the city, saying that once the thieves broke through the city, no one, men, women, or children would be left alive.
In Jiaxing Mansion, Haiyan and Pinghu have all fallen one after another, and the bandits are heading towards Hangzhou. When the news came out, they were attacking Tongxiang County.
"Didn't you already notify the Dusi Yamen?" Jia Ying asked in surprise.
Tens of thousands of bandits, where did so many people come from?
Where did Jia Ying know from Song Lun before that the small overseas islands are so powerful that they can support 1 people, why did they suddenly double?
"The Dusi did not deploy troops to reinforce Haining." Lin Ruhai said with a wry smile.
"It's time to kill!" Jia Ying showed a fierce look.
"Now is not the time to talk about these things, Ying'er, you should escort Daiyu and the others back to Jinling immediately. I can't feel at ease when she is here."
"What about you?"
"As an official of the imperial court, I have the responsibility to guard the land, so I can't leave."
"Sister Yu'er won't agree." Jia Ying shook her head.
It is also impossible for him to leave Lin Ruhai alone.
"This matter hasn't been spread yet, let's keep it a secret from them." Lin Ruhai's only concern was her daughter.
Seeing that Jia Ying remained silent, Lin Ruhai asked anxiously, "Do you want to see them fall into the hands of bandits?"
Jia Ying calmed herself down.
"Haining Guard has made a mistake, and Jinshan Guard may not be able to recover. Jinling may not be safe."
"But Hangzhou definitely can't stay, aunt, you can't stay here either."
"I can't go." Lin Ruhai said stubbornly.
"Preserve the useful body and mobilize the Jiangnan army in the name of imperial envoy. Only then will it be possible to quell this rebellion. This matter must be done by my aunt. Although I am an official in the Ministry of War, I have no right to deploy troops. My lord, the overall situation is the most important."
"I can give you my name card, you go back to Jinling to mobilize the army left behind in the old capital."
"My aunt will not understand the principle of saving people and losing land, and losing both people and land. Besides, mobilizing the army is a trifling matter. There are six yamen in Nanjing, and there are no imperial envoys to take charge of the government. Dare to obey, lose your head!"
"Grandpa, you have to make a decision when you are faced with a major event, and make a decisive decision!"
