My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 235 I don’t agree

Originally, Jia Yu thought that only the household officials headed by Geng Bencheng were so rude about the money they brought back, but he still underestimated people's obsession with money.

When he led the motorcade into Chaoyang Gate, he was immediately startled by the sea of ​​people in front of him. He saw that both sides of the huge Chaoyang Street were crowded with people.

If it weren't for the Shuntian government officials and the soldiers from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division to maintain order, the entire street would have been blocked.

When the convoy escorting the silver entered the street, the already lively street immediately became excited.

"Come on, come on...Uncle Dingyuan is coming to them!"

Some people looked at the endless carts and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh my God, are all these carts filled with money?"

"How much money does this cost?"

"Idiot, haven't you heard? The total is fifty-six million taels of silver."

"Fifty-six million taels...my dear...so much silver, even if you only give me 5,600 taels...no...give me 560 taels of silver, I won't have to worry about it for the rest of my life."

The eyes of countless people shot out blazing gazes, and Jia Yu even wondered if they were trying to use their gazes to shoot through the cart.

Carts loaded with silver slowly passed by on the street. On the streets they passed, the doors and windows of the houses on both sides of the road were full of people, and even the roofs were full of people.

With this edict, I hope that Jia Yu and Lin Daiyu will get married and grow old together.

He ignored these glances and walked directly to Emperor Changping and bowed down: "Your Majesty, Uncle Ding Yuan, Commander-in-Chief of Huben Camp, and Commander of the Five-City Army and Horses Division, Jia Yu, returned to Beijing on official business and delivered an order to Your Majesty.

Some people frowned secretly. Jia Yu's contribution this time was not insignificant. It was 56 million taels of silver. His Majesty rewarded him with a wife who could choose both? Isn't this a proper way to send beggars away?

Along with the loud noise, the originally chaotic streets suddenly became quiet.

Escorted by tens of thousands of officers and soldiers from the Huben Battalion, the convoy finally arrived at the Meridian Gate after nearly an hour of arduous march.

After the emissary went to Yangzhou, it was found that the eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou and officials at all levels in Yangzhou colluded with each other to deceive the superiors and conceal the hoarding of salt, which harmed the people. The evidence is conclusive. , I had no choice but to arrest all the salt merchants and 23 officials, including Lan Renxian, and escort them back to Shenjing for trial by the Three Laws Division.

He also emphasized military discipline. The silver reward has been given to you. If anyone can't control themselves and wants to reach out randomly, don't blame the ruthless military law.

Now seeing the fanatical expressions on the faces of the dark people, the soldiers naturally began to become nervous.

"Here!"

For this reason, Jia Yu even personally ordered the execution of two soldiers who could not control themselves.

"Does His Majesty always issue imperial edicts so crudely and simply?"

Dai Quan... announces the decree! "

"Ai Qing went to Yangzhou on official business this time, and his hard work has made great achievements. He not only dug out a large group of moths for the imperial court, but also captured and brought to justice the unscrupulous businessmen who had caused harm to the south of the Yangtze River for many years. He has made great contributions to the imperial court. I am very pleased.

Before returning to Beijing, Lin Ruhai analyzed it with him.

Jia Yu, having received this good match, should work harder to repay the emperor's kindness. We should use the ambition of a scholar, supplemented by a kind heart, to make greater contributions to the prosperity of Daxia. Lin Daiyu also accepted this grace and helped Jia Yu achieve his great career with her gentle virtue.

After hearing the order, the soldiers escorting the silver cart began to fix their bayonets. For a while, the street was filled with the sound of "click-click-click" metal collision.

As soon as Dai Quan read the imperial edict, all the civil and military officials around him were stunned.

Everyone in the Huben Camp obeys the order... and bayonets are fixed. Anyone who dares to rush into the silver car will be shot to death! "

"boom!"

Today, Emperor Changping not only had a new robe, but his usually stern face seemed to have changed, showing a rare smile.

"Here!"

Considering that he is already a hereditary and hereditary earl before he has reached his twenties, and he has been knighted for less than a year, he cannot be promoted to a hereditary and hereditary marquis, right?

In fact, let alone those common people, even they didn't have any strange thoughts.

He pulled out a blunderbuss from his waist and fired a shot into the sky.

Such a scene made the soldiers of the Huben Camp who had gone through the war couldn't help but tighten their muskets in their hands, just for fear that a few people who were stunned by the money would suddenly rush out from some corner.

When Jia Yu came to the Meridian Gate, he immediately felt countless eyes on him.

I am very pleased to hear that Lin Daiyu, the daughter of Lin Ruhai, the salt censor of Yangzhou, is also talented, gentle and virtuous. Therefore, we hereby issue an edict to give Jia Yu the opportunity to marry Lin Daiyu as his wife, in order to demonstrate the beauty of his talent and virtue, and also to demonstrate the breadth of our court's grace.

Many people even squeezed forward desperately, trying to get closer to the silver car.

"I love you!"

However, Jia Yu had already expected this. After confiscating his house in Yangzhou, Jia Yu paid enough silver rewards to all the soldiers in Huben camp.

In addition, I also found countless gold and silver treasures in my house, totaling 56 million taels of silver. They have now been escorted back to Beijing and handed over to His Majesty for disposal! "

Jia Yu took out an iron trumpet from the hand of a soldier nearby and shouted loudly: "Everyone, listen to me. I, Uncle Ding Yuan, have been ordered to escort Yin Liang into the capital.

Moreover, there are so many officers and soldiers around. If anyone dares to use any crooked ideas, he will definitely die without a body intact.

At this moment, Emperor Changping, who had already changed into a new dragon robe, had led hundreds of civil and military officials to wait outside the Meridian Gate.

Seeing the gleaming bayonets all over the streets, the originally fanatical people remembered that although the money was good, it did not belong to them.

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Jia Yu secretly thought something bad.

Dai Quan, who was following him, took a few steps forward, took out the imperial edict and read it loudly: "By the fate of heaven, the emperor decrees:

However, Jia Yu's expression remained as usual, and Emperor Changping's praise was completely within his expectation.

I observe that Jia Yu has both political integrity and talent, and is truly a national treasure. Excellent in both character and learning, his articles are brilliant, he is a role model, and he is famous all over the world.

Although you can watch from the sidelines, remember not to ram the silver car without authorization, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!

However, although he could not be directly promoted to a title, Emperor Changping would definitely compensate him in other ways.

Sure enough, after Dai Quan finished reading, he took out another imperial edict from his sleeve and read it loudly.

"It is God's destiny, the emperor decreed:

Jia Yu, the Marquis of Dingyuan in the Great Xia Dynasty, was outstanding in both literary and military skills, talent, good conduct, and both ability and political integrity. Loyal and diligent, he can be regarded as a pillar of the imperial court. Today, Jia Yu is hereby promoted to the position of Jiedu Envoy of the Beijing Camp, commanding all the troops in the Beijing Camp, guarding the capital, and safeguarding the country.

Admire this. "

"Wow!"

There was a burst of exclamation from the surroundings, and then the eyes of everyone showed what they should have been.

The position of Jiedu Envoy in the Beijing Camp has always been reserved for those who were not close to the emperor and could not be held by talented people.

You must know that this position is responsible for commanding nearly 100,000 troops of the Eighth Battalion of Shenjing. It can be said that if this position is not filled by someone who is absolutely trustworthy, the emperor will not even sleep well at night. But then again, with Wang Ziteng burying almost all the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp in Tongguan, if it were not for Feng Tang's selection camp to support it, it can be said that the existence of the Beijing camp is no longer necessary.

Now, Emperor Changping promoted Jia Yu to the position of Jiedu Envoy of the Beijing Camp, and his purpose must have been to value his ability to train troops.

Didn’t you see that it took Jia Yu less than half a year to train the soldiers of the Wucheng Bingma Division into the most capable soldiers in Shenjing today? From this point of view, the reorganization of the Jingying camp is The important task belongs to him.

Jia Yu took a deep breath, bowed solemnly to Emperor Changping, and cried with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty entrusts me with my life, I dare not repay you with death!"

Seeing Jia Yu being so moved, Emperor Changping, who had been paying attention to his expression, nodded with satisfaction: "Ai Qing, please rise. I hope Ai Qing will not disappoint me, rebuild the capital camp, and restore the glory of Taizu!"

"I accept the order and thank you!"

After Jia Yu received the order to thank him, Emperor Changping smiled and said to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty: "Dear ministers, today Jia Aiqing returned to Beijing from Yangzhou on official business, and she also escorted back so much silver.

To be honest, this is the first time in my life that I have seen so much money. It is really eye-opening. "

Hearing Emperor Changping speak like this, the ministers present also nodded.

In fact, it was not just Emperor Changping. It can be said that no one present, including Geng Benzheng, the Minister of Household Affairs, had ever seen so much silver.

Emperor Changping continued: "So...I am just being generous today.

I hosted a banquet in the Huangji Gate to entertain Dingyuan Bo Jia Yu and all my ministers, but there is no need for you to thank me.

If you want to thank me, please thank Uncle Dingyuan. Without the money he brought back, I would not have dared to entertain you all in such a luxurious manner. "

"Hahaha……"

It was rare to see Emperor Changping, who had always been stingy, actually generously host a banquet to enrich the civil and military officials of the court. All the officials were overjoyed.

Although there is no shortage of food for everyone, being able to eat the banquet invited by the emperor is an honor in itself. As for what to eat, that is secondary.

"Come……"

Emperor Changping stepped forward and took Jia Yu's hand, "Uncle Dingyuan... you will sit below me today."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Jia Yu choked with sobs and bowed to Emperor Changping again. After all, Emperor Changping was promoted and given a banquet today. It would be abnormal if he was not moved to tears.

However, despite Jia Yu's expression of tears of gratitude, his heart was like a mirror.

Since ancient times, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. The reason why Emperor Changping was so kind to him was because he could both work hard and make money for the old Li family.

If one day you no longer have any use value, this favor will naturally dissipate.

While Jia Yu was attending the banquet in the palace, Daiyu also returned to Rongguo Mansion escorted by Zhao Qiubai and dozens of other soldiers.

When he stepped into Rongqing Hall, he saw dozens of masters from Ning Rong's Second Mansion present.

When Jia Mu saw Daiyu coming back, she immediately stood up and walked towards Daiyu.

Daiyu quickly took a few steps forward and walked towards Jia Mu, and the two immediately embraced each other.

"Yu'er!"

"Ancestor!"

After the two hugged each other and cried, Jia Mu touched Daiyu's little face and sighed: "Yu'er... I haven't seen you for a few months, but you have lost a lot of weight."

Daiyu: “…………”

Sister Feng on the side couldn't help laughing, and he pretended to be strange and said: "Ancestor, you are just telling lies with your eyes open.

Why do I see that Lin Yatou is a little fatter than when she left Beijing a few months ago. "

"Puch..."

Sister Feng's words also caused everyone to burst into laughter.

Everyone present is not blind, and a few months is not a long time. Everyone knows what Daiyu looked like before she left Beijing. She is indeed a little plumper when she comes back this time than before she left Beijing. Although it is not obvious, it is hard to To say she has lost weight is to tell lies.

Mother Jia was furious for a moment and glared at Sister Feng angrily, "You Feng hottie, are you still quarreling with me? The old lady said that my Yu'er has lost weight. Do you have any objections?"

Sister Feng also knew that Jia Mu was not really angry, so she still smiled and said: "Of course my grandson has no objection, but old lady, you have to have a bowl of high-end. They are all your juniors. You can't just see Sister Lin." "

Jia Mu laughed and scolded: "What's so good about your low-income family? The old lady just likes Yu'er. Can you take care of it?"

Sister Feng pretended to be surprised and said to everyone: "Hey, our ancestors used to pretend, but now they don't even pretend?"

"Hahaha……"

Seeing Sister Feng playing tricks, everyone burst into laughter.

Even Jia Mu was so angry that she spat at her.

"Bah... I shouldn't argue with a loser like you."

After everyone finished laughing, Jia Mu took Daiyu and sat on her cloud bed. She took Daiyu's little hand and asked with concern: "Yu'er, how is your father's health when you go to Yangzhou this time?"

Daiyu nodded: "Returning to my ancestors, my father's illness is much better. Thanks to the doctor Wang sent by your majesty, my father was brought back from the hell."

After listening to Daiyu's words, many people in the hall were happy, but there were also a trace of disappointment in their eyes.

Jia Mu asked again: "What about Ruhai? Now he is alone in Yangzhou and there is no one around him to take care of him. What should he do?"

"Ancestor, don't worry." Daiyu took Jia Mu's hand and said, "Father said that he has been in Yangzhou for ten years. Now he has narrowly escaped death. Your Majesty is a kindhearted king. It will not take long to call him back. Beijing's decree will be delivered to Yangzhou."

"That's good..."

Jia Mu said with emotion: "When your father returns to Beijing, you will no longer be alone. Your father will take care of you, and you won't have to cry secretly in the middle of the night every day."

"Ancestor..."

After hearing what Jia Mu said, Daiyu couldn't help crying in her arms.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh after seeing it. It had been several years since Daiyu came to Rongguo Mansion. A little girl was left alone in the shelter of others. You can imagine the pain in their hearts.

He also has a sensitive temperament, and the feeling of it is hard to describe in words. Now that his father is about to return to Beijing, it can be said that all the hardships have come to an end.

At this moment, a sudden voice suddenly sounded: "Absolutely not... If Uncle Lin returns to Beijing, then Sister Lin will have to move out of the house, and I won't agree!"
