Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 323 People Who Can Cry Have Candies

The center has been operating very quickly recently. The Ministry of Households has been clearing the fields of Gyeonggi Prefecture based on various data returned by Xu Jin.

How big is the fire?
After the news from the capital reached Jiajiazhuangzi at the foot of Shijingshan Mountain, even the old lady exclaimed that the emperor really meant it this time.

Because Shuntian Mansion imposed a fine of up to 2 taels of silver on the Empress Dowager's natal Cheng'en Gong Mansion.

The fine was paid to Cao Jiugong, the Commander of the Governor of the Dragon Guards. After Cao Jiugong sent the fine to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion with a black face, all the families that had been fighting against Xu Jin obediently admitted their cowardice without exception.

Those who should return the fields and forests should return the fields and forests, and those who should pay fines should pay fines.Even the old lady endured the pain, returned the excess official land on both sides of the Qianhe River, and offered to send thousands of taels of silver to Shuntian Mansion.

In the secret room dug under the bank of the household department, Wen Tongxuan's secret savings have rapidly expanded from 500 million taels to 800 million taels, and are gradually developing towards 1000 million taels.

The secret agent of the Long Guard sent the news from the household department, and the emperor couldn't help laughing after watching the secret performance.

"Our God of Wealth is getting better at living. In two months, the imperial court will spend all the treasury of the household department, and the money he has saved is enough for the imperial court to spend for a year."

Xia Shouzhong smiled and followed the emperor's words and replied: "That is also the emperor's sage, otherwise how could there be a minister who stole money from the treasury of the household department?"

Hahahahaha~
The emperor is in a good mood, and the offenders of Xu Jin's Manchu dynasty paid money from those wealthy families.Now that the household department is full and the imperial army has been reorganized, the various major projects that were shelved earlier can now be prepared to be implemented.

He wrote several handwritten letters in succession, stamped his private seal and handed them to Xia Shouzhong: "Dear companion, you secretly arrange for someone to send these handwritten letters out of Beijing. Especially in Xi'an Mansion, let Honger take over the soldiers and horses of Shaanxi, and quickly Help Lanzhou. Lock down the Hexi Corridor before winter this year."

"Then do you want Uncle Yongfeng to go to Yansui immediately to take command? After all, the generals there used to be subordinates of Xianrong Kingdom."

The emperor shook his head: "No need, almost all the men from Jia's family have left the capital, and one or two pillars must be left behind. Let the old Shisan go, he is idle, and if he stays in the capital, I'm afraid he will leave the world behind." It was pierced."

……

"Jia Xiaosan, hurry up and cut a melon for Grandpa, it's so hot to death!"

As soon as Liu Ke entered Jia's other courtyard, he yelled loudly to eat cold melon to relieve his fever, just like when he arrived at his own home.

He lifted Jia Cong from the rocking chair and lay down by himself.

"Ah, Shu Tan! Hurry up, melons should be chilled, and wine must be chilled~"

uh~
Jia Cong waved his hand to the maids to prepare, and lay down on another rocking chair, chatting with the master, not mentioning the reason for his sudden visit today.

Before the melon was delivered, Liu Ke couldn't help it.

For a long time, I complained to Jia Cong that the emperor was jealous of his leisure and sent him to Jiubian to eat sand.

Well, this is for help.

After the servant girl brought melons, fruits and wine, Jia Cong waved away the servants in the courtyard and asked the guards to guard the door.

"Your Majesty is going to make a move?"

Liu Ke drank a glass of fine wine, and the cynicism just now disappeared from his face.

"It's true that the fourth brother asked Brother Hong to go to Shaanxi to pay homage to the Yellow Emperor, and it's also true to use this as a cover. The old British man has already secretly dispatched [-] forbidden troops into Shaanxi, and together with the army of the guards in Shaanxi, it is enough to block the Hexi Corridor , cut off the connection between Xining Prefecture and the Central Plains."

Jia Cong nodded. In fact, when the emperor sent the crown prince out of Beijing to offer sacrifices to Xuanyuan Mausoleum, he figured out something different.

According to tradition, it is enough for the Ministry of Rites to go to the Ministry of Rites to offer sacrifices to the emperor on behalf of the emperor, but this time the emperor forced the young prince to brave the scorching heat of June and travel thousands of miles to Shaanxi.

The soldiers and horses of the Shaanxi Guards were almost all taken away to Lanzhou, so Liu Ke's intention to go to Yansui Town was very clear.

Take advantage of the civil strife in the Central Plains and invade the frontiers by sitting on the Great Wall.Of course, this move is also to prevent some people from jumping over the wall in a hurry and making trouble by hooking up with each other.

"Master Thirteen, rest first, I'm going to find grandma..."

The old lady didn't hesitate either. Zhongshun Wang Liu Ke came to the door in person, which actually represented the meaning of the emperor.

It was dictated by the old lady and written by Jia Cong.For about a quarter of an hour, Jia Cong wrote two full sheets of paper.

Together with the list, Liu Ke also had a red-bottomed red-gold unicorn military flag. This was Jia Daishan's Chinese army flag. He once led an army across Mobei, and it was the most cohesive representative of Yansui, Datong and other towns. things.

Liu Ke's solemn and respectful general flag was put away, and he said goodbye to Jia Cong without saying anything else. I'm the lieutenant general."

……

The old lady is not in a good mood, because this incident means that the four kings, eight princes and twelve princes in the past will soon become history.

But soon she couldn't care less about looking back on the past. There was news from the Ministry of Criminal Justice that they had already dealt with the affairs of the Bowlinghou Mansion and the Zhongjinghou Mansion, and they sent someone to inform the Rongguo Mansion to let the Jia family send them quickly. People pick people up.

As soon as the scribes of the Ministry of Punishments left the other courtyard, the old lady called Jia Cong to the main hall.

Only Wang Xifeng and Xiangyun were sitting in the main hall. As soon as Jia Cong came in, the old lady said: "Although the historians have been pardoned, they should not stay in the capital. Brother Cong, how do you think it is more appropriate to arrange them?"

Jia Cong glanced at the gloomy Xiangyun, thought for a while and said: "It's not right to stay in the capital, why not let them go back to Jinling's ancestral land. The second brother is also in Jinling now, and the second brother is taking care of him secretly. As long as the two Aunts and cousins ​​don't meddle in other things, and a stable life is guaranteed."

The Shi family is also a family from Jinling, and the imperial court will not copy the property of the Shi family.Coupled with the addition of some money from the Rongguo Mansion, gold and jade are impossible, and they can always live a stable life.

"Old Ancestor, let Second Aunt and Third Aunt take care of these shops in Jinling. Xianglan and the others will always have some money when they get married in the future."

Xiang Yun actually hesitated for two days. Ever since Jia Cong brought back the news from the capital, she had thought about ruthlessly breaking up with the Shi family's two families.

But she was soft-hearted after all, and deliberately picked out a few small but not small shops from her mother's dowry, and planned to send them to the Shi family's two bedrooms.

Now that Jia Cong proposed to send the Shi family back to their ancestral land in Jinling, he took out the deeds of the four shops in Jinling and put them on the table in front of the old lady.

The old lady looked at her grandniece complicatedly, and after a long silence, she took two of them and sighed: "You girl, these are your mother's dowry, no matter how poor the historian is, it is not enough for you, a little girl, to worry about it." .But this is also good, so as not to let someone say something wrong about you in the future."

Such things as reputation cannot withstand people's deliberate distortion.It was no secret in the capital that Xiangyun had a bad time in Baolinghou's mansion.

But now the historians are down and out, if Xiangyun sticks to her mother's dowry and lives a life of gold and jade, some people will say that she doesn't understand the meaning of filial piety.

Not long after, the old lady brought a small wooden box again, and the corners of Jia Cong's mouth twitched.

I don't know how many such small boxes the old lady has. Every time something happens, she can always take out one, which surprises people.

The old lady opened it in front of several people, and there were several land deeds and shop deeds inside.

"After all, I'm also the daughter of the historian. Brother Cong, don't complain, it's all my dowry. Now that the historian is in trouble, I, as an elder, can't watch their orphans and widows beg for food. The Zhuangzi and the shop are not big, and the two shops owned by Miss Yun are enough for them to live a stable and prosperous life in Jinling."

Jia Cong curled his lips, and replied dumbfoundedly: "Your things are up to you. Although our family and the two uncles are about to cut off our robes, the historian family is your mother's family after all, and it is impossible for the grandson to be true." Seeing my aunt and cousins ​​suffer, isn't it?"

Wang Xifeng also had the same idea, and asked the servant girl to go to the room to fetch some silver bills and add them in.Even Yingchun, Daiyu and the others knew the news, and Qiqi came to the main hall and more or less added a lot of money.

A few days later, when the Ministry of Criminal Justice escorted Shi Nai, Shi Ding and others away from Beijing, Jia Cong and Baoyu accompanied Xiangyun back to Beijing to see him off.

Jia Cong didn't have the slightest affection for Shi Nai and Shi Ding, so he didn't bother to talk to each other.I just sent the silver taels prepared by the old lady, and told the guards who escorted them not to treat them preferentially or harshly, just send them to Lingnan safely.

At that time, there will be someone who pardons the Great Lord to take over. Shi Nai and Shi Ding have killed so many soldiers of Da Xia, so let's obediently go to cross toes to make amends.

On the contrary, Xiangyun cried so hard that he lost all strength, and after watching his uncle leave, he lay in Baoyu's arms without even lifting his head.

After the female family member of the historian family recuperated in Rongguo Mansion for half a month, the old lady took her out of Beijing and took a boat south to Jinling, regardless of the unstoppable heat.

The emperor gave the Rongguo Mansion face, and the Rongguo Mansion could not rely on favor and be arrogant.

The historian committed a crime, and if a person who committed a crime still stayed in the capital to enjoy the glory and wealth, it would be a slap in the face of the law of the country.

……

After spending a month leisurely at Zhuangzi, the people from Rongguo Mansion finally returned to the capital.

It's not that living in Zhuangzi is uncomfortable, but the main reason is that Master She sent another letter, and Jia Cong had to go to the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War to keep an eye on him, worrying that someone would hold him back and delay the development of the chief envoy of Jiaozhi.

The red sun was scorching hot, and the capital city was as hot as it wanted. As soon as Jia Cong entered the household department, he went to Wen Tongxuan's duty room and lay paralyzed. Two cups of cold fruit wine could not relieve the heat.

"No matter what you say, you are also a hereditary uncle, so you can't pay attention to your image."

Jia Cong waved his hand lazily: "God of Wealth, I'm still a child. It's really hard for me to worry about national affairs in such a hot day."

Wen Tongxuan flipped through the account book in his hand, frowning more and more.He called the scribe and asked him to pick up the official documents sent by Dengzhou, Songjiang and Guangzhou in recent days.

"Your father asked for 20 people as soon as he opened his mouth. Where can this old man conjure people up and send them to him?"

Jia Cong sat up straight, staring at the old man.

After a while, he spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "Don't look at me like that, I'm just a child, you still have to figure out a way about this."

"Ha ha……"

Wen Tongxuan was too lazy to argue with Jia Cong, so he opened the official document sent by the clerk and compared it carefully.

After a long time, Wang Tianchang sighed: "Damn it, I never thought that one day our Daxia would be so short of people everywhere."

The emperor ordered the secret establishment of the three major construction corps of Dongying, Jiaozhi, and Western Regions. In the past few days, Dengzhou and Songjiang have been transporting military households to Dongying.

Guangzhou is also urging the household department to mobilize food and grass. It is said that Mu Wangfu has recruited [-] people for Jiaozhi, and plans to formally send them to the chief envoy of Jiaozhi.

However, Grand Master She expanded his battle front in South Vietnam. As the territory he occupied became larger and larger, Grand Master She suddenly found that he had fewer and fewer people available under his command.

Moreover, the people in South Vietnam are not necessarily obedient, and the people in Thang Long Mansion are not fools. They have deployed many people to the territory of the Cochin Chief Commissioner, and riots broke out every few days.

In order to strengthen the rule over the occupied lands, the Great Master She continued to write to the central government while suppressing with iron and blood, asking for people, money, and soldiers!
And when he opened his mouth, Wen Tongxuan almost scolded 20 people, forcing the old man to call Jia Cong to complain, and at the same time, he wanted Jia Cong to use his brain to see if there was any other way.

It's not that Jia Cong didn't want to answer the question, but most of the people in the Central Plains have the idea that their homeland is hard to leave. In addition, in the eyes of the people in the Central Plains, Jiaozhi is a place of smog and barbarians.He also couldn't think of a good way to recruit people to go south.

The two of them were sitting in the office of the Ministry of Housing and sighed. Not long after, Lin Ruhai rushed back from the Ministry of War. As soon as he entered the room, he complained: "Minister of Finance, the Ministry of War has no recruits. Dengzhou is about to leave [-] military households just now." They will not be able to gather many people in a short while. Moreover, Wang Chenghai sent news to the capital again that the country of Wa is in civil strife, and he intends to take advantage of the fire to loot... Cough cough, he plans to bring the Jinghai Wei Navy to the Satsuma domain again to mediate the country of Wa Civil unrest."

So, Wang Chenghai is here to ask for money again?
Most of the people who want to leave in Dengzhou are the killers who have withdrawn from the Nine Sides.Before it was released, just arranging this group of people was enough to cause headaches for the Ministry of War.

Unfortunately, as luck would have it, this group of killers has now become a favorite, and Dongpu, the Western Regions, and Jiaozhi are all vying for this group of people.

Wang Chenghai snatched this group of people with the huge underground silver mine of the newly established Dongying Chief Envoy, which resulted in no one to use the Grand Master.

Jia Cong went to Wen Tongxuan's side and flipped through the brochures on the table.

The troops in Liaodong are not enough for themselves, so it is impossible here.Jia Cong suddenly saw a record in the brochure, and his eyes lit up.

"Boss, uncle, the Jiangnan camp that was abolished last year, these people should not be settled properly..."

dong dong dong~
The clerk sent an official document, after Wen Tongxuan opened it, he only glanced at it, and almost cursed out loud.

"It's the letter from Wang Chenghai, the commander of the Jinghai Guard. He complained to the old man, saying that the imperial court didn't want to see him, who was born as a pirate, and had been dragging the Jinghai Guard's personnel to replenish money and food. He wanted the imperial court to send the former Jiangnan University The soldiers who retreated from the battalion were sent to Dengzhou, and then sent to Dongying by the Dengzhou Navy. This will help him take down Satsuma and the two surrounding towns in one fell swoop, so that our Great Xia can completely gain a foothold in Dongying."
