Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 195
At the end of the dynasty, the ministers went out in groups. Many people criticized Jia Qiongzheng's behavior and pointed at him.

But Jia Qiong doesn't care. How unhappy these people are with him now, they will appreciate him more when they get the dividends.

Especially those lower-level officials who pooled their money to buy shares will definitely be grateful to him, and Jia Qiong can also use this to win over people's hearts.

Jia Qiong did not leave immediately. He quickly walked to the line of civil servants and stopped Jiang Yungong, Minister of Industry, with his hand.

He cupped his hands and said, "Jiang Shangshu, please stay."

When Jiang Yungong heard this, he paused and said with a smile: "Hey, isn't this Jia Sizheng? What advice can you give me?"

Jia Qiong smiled and said: "I don't take advice seriously.

Jiang Shangshu, the projects my company is going to do require a lot of construction talents, and I have to rely on your support. "

What Jia Qiong's plan needed most was a large number of construction talents, so he was the first to find the Minister of Industry.

Jiang Yungong was a member of the Fujian Party, and he had just been blackmailed out of 1 taels of silver by Jia Qiong, so he felt unhappy.

After hearing what Jia Qiong said, he said calmly: "Master Jia, don't worry, the emperor has issued an order, and our Ministry of Industry will definitely cooperate with you fully.

But we also have a lot of work to do, and I'm afraid we won't be able to spare many manpower for you. "

Jia Qiong smiled and said: "Oh, don't worry, Mr. Jiang, I don't want many people. Here is the list. Please read it first."

Jia Qiong took out a list from her sleeve and handed it to him. Jiang Yungong opened it and saw that it was densely filled with names and positions.

There were more than 60 people in total, almost all of the most capable lower-level officials in the Ministry of Works, as well as the master craftsmen and stewards. "

Jiang Yungong's face darkened and he said, "Mr. Jia, you want too many people. They are all given to you, and my Ministry of Works will fall apart.

No, absolutely not, I will give you twenty people at most. "

Jia Qiong said: "Master Jiang, aren't these people still from the Ministry of Works? I'm just borrowing them temporarily.

Besides, if I borrow something from someone, it’s not like I won’t pay it back. I’ll pay you back in a year at most. "

Jiang Yungong didn't buy it. He shook his head like a rattle and said, "That won't work. Isn't the Ministry of Industry not working this year?"

Jia Qiong saw that all the good talk was useless, so she lowered her face and said, "Master Jiang, it seems that you don't take the emperor's decree seriously at all.

I am good at talking to each other, but you have this attitude. If this is the case, then I can only ask the emperor to make the decision. "

Jia Qiong has long known that the Fujian Party will not easily cooperate with him. If he gives in this time, there will be more troubles later.

So Jia Qiong directly moved out of Emperor Longqing. If Jiang Yungong still didn't buy it, he would go to the imperial court to consult him, so as to scare the monkeys.

Jiang Yungong knew that the emperor must be partial to Jia Qiong now, and he would not be rewarded by going against him. Seeing Jia Qiong's tough attitude, he gave up.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you.

I can release them, but I have no control over whether they are willing to go to the Mutual Aid Division with you. You have to tell them yourself. "

Jia Qiong snorted and said: "As long as no one interferes, these people will naturally not dare to disobey orders.

Mr. Jiang, don’t forget, I am still the commander of the Jinyi Guards.

Don't do anything you shouldn't do and let me know. It won't look good on everyone's faces. "

Jiang Yungong heard this and sneered: "Don't worry, Mr. Jia, I'm not that stupid."

Jia Qiong said lightly: "This is the best.

I am busy with official duties and don't have time to invite them in person, so I still have to thank Mr. Jiang for his hard work.

These people must all report to the Mutual Aid Department within three days, otherwise I will go to you personally to ask for them. Farewell! "

Jiang Yungong looked at Jia Qiong who was walking away, and said bitterly: "Bah, a lucky person, a shameless person, sooner or later he will eat your good fruit."

After Jia Qiong finished his harsh words, he walked out of Chengtian Gate. Tao Dachun and others were waiting for him at the door, and Yun Guang was also standing beside him.

Seeing him come out, Yun Guang first stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Master Jia."

Jia Qiong raised his hand and asked in return, "Is there something wrong with Yun Jiedu?" Yun Guang smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. I just want to ask when can my nephew come back? My mother asks me this every day."

Jia Qiong was immediately embarrassed when he heard this. There were so many things going on these days that he had completely forgotten about the person in the prison.

It's been several days, isn't Yuntao starving to death by now...

Jia Qiong said calmly: "Oh, so that's what happened.

Yuntao is recovering from his injuries at my place these days, and I am also trying to temper him.

Since the old lady misses her grandson, I will ask him to go back in the next two days. "

Yun Guang cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, Mr. Jia. Mr. Jia is busy, so I will leave first."

After Yun Guang left, Tao Dachun and others came forward and asked, "Yu Jing, when will we move to the new Yamen office?"

Jia Qiong said: "The Sifang Pavilion has been vacant for a long time. We need to send someone to clean it first to see if there is anything that needs to be repaired or added.

I still have to argue with the adults in various ministries. If any of you have finished your research, just keep an eye on this matter.

Go to Chang'an County Chief Liu Chun and ask him to send someone. "

Tao Dachun said: "Okay, leave this matter to us."

After leaving the palace, Jia Qiong hurried to Fusi, Beizhen. When he arrived at the imperial prison, Wan Ying came out and said, "I'm sorry to see you, sir."

Jia Qiong asked: "How is Yuntao doing? Is he not starving to death?"

Wan Ying said: "He is in good health and will be fine if he is hungry for a few days. I have given him some water in the past two days."

Jia Qiong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Well done. I completely forgot about this matter and almost made a mistake."

Wan Ying smiled and said, "I know you want to take him in and won't let him die."

Jia Qiong nodded and asked, "Is he honest now?"

Wan Ying nodded and smiled: "I have been honest for a long time. I beg me every day to say that I want to see you."

The two of them came to Yun Tao's cell while talking. Jia Qiong took a look through the door and found that he was leaning against the wall and chewing straw.

There seems to be no problem, and his physical fitness is indeed good.

Jia Qiong knocked on the door and caught Yun Tao's attention.

"Yuntao, I heard that you want to see me?"

Yuntao quickly spat out the straw in his mouth and ran to the door and shouted: "Sir, I know I was wrong. Just let me go. I am willing to do my best for you."

Jia Qiong smiled and said: "I am still in need of a groom. Are you willing to do it?"

Yuntao quickly said: "If you are willing, you can let me do whatever you want.

I promise to follow you and work hard, through fire and water, no matter what!

Jia Qiong nodded and said, "Okay, remember what you said.

Wan Ying, let him go, take him to have a good meal, take a bath and change his clothes. "

Wan Ying responded: "Yes." After saying that, he opened the cell door and let Yuntao out. "

Jia Qiong said to him: "Yuntao, I'll give you two days' leave and go home to see your grandmother.

From now on, you will follow my instructions and report to the Sifang Pavilion the day after tomorrow. "

"Yes, my lord."

After letting Yuntao go, Jia Qiong went around to various government offices and seconded those in need.

Because there were only a few seconded people and they were all lower-level officials, they did not encounter much resistance.
