The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 349 Why is she here
Seeing that Jia Min didn't speak, Chang An also felt that he seemed to be going too far.

"Officer Min, that's not what I mean, I mean..."

"Okay, Li An, I know you don't mean that, forget it, let's not talk about this topic, drink."

Jia Min really didn't feel like growing up.

He still knows Chang'an quite well.Although she is now leading a thousand troops to train troops, in fact, Li Chengbin is mainly doing the leading of the troops.

It cannot be ruled out that Chang'an will become an excellent general in the future, but with Chang'an's current capabilities, it is still far from enough to lead 1000 people on the battlefield.

Chang'an and Li Chengbin are currently training troops according to Jia Min's method, and the combat effectiveness of her troops will be much stronger than others.

However, after all, there is no actual combat experience.Moreover, it is unknown how much they have understood the true connotation and essence of Jia Min's military training thought.

Jia Min's army regiment was trained by him himself. After arriving in Bukui, he had been entangled with the four tribes for several months. He really thought about the four tribes before they formally fought.

What's more, before the battle, there were public opinion wars, economic wars, and harassment wars. Targeted tactics were formulated, rigorous training was carried out, and the advantage of firearms was used, and finally victory was achieved.

These sufficient and meticulous preparations are the root cause of his victory.The final victory is nothing but a matter of course.

However, Jia Min now finds that these fundamental things have been ignored by people.People saw his victory as too simple.

As for saying that he wanted to keep the credit for himself and not let others get involved in the war in North Wendura, although Chang'an was just talking about it, Jia Min also realized that this represented the views of some people.

Changan now basically regards Jia Min as one of his own, so he speaks out so bluntly.

Although Chang'an is somewhat delicate, she is still a very kind girl in essence.Even if I say that, it's not that I have a big prejudice against Jia Min.

However, others may not be like this.This view, in the eyes of some, may be true.

However, this also conveyed a signal that some people regarded the Battle of North Wendura as an opportunity to seek benefits.

If war is regarded as a tool to seek personal interests or the interests of a small group, the situation will be much more complicated.

Since Jia Min didn't want to talk about the war anymore, Chang'an and Li Chengbin couldn't say much, so they chatted.

Chang An didn't feel embarrassed, and soon became active again.

"There will be a banquet for thousands of people the day after tomorrow. Will you go? Do you want me to say something to you?"

The so-called Thousand People Banquet is held every two years.

It was the emperor who, in order to show his kindness, invited the princes, nobles and families of civil and military officials in the imperial capital and Zhili area to a banquet in the palace before the Chinese New Year.

Those who can be invited to the banquet, except for those big figures and families, are those who have made outstanding contributions in a certain aspect in the past two years.

The emperor and princes and ministers will attend to show their favor.Those who go to the banquet also regard this as a great honor.

Invitees are generally present as a family.Generally, there are three people, one for each of the old, middle and young generations, to show that the three generations live together and the family is harmonious.

Everyone who attends will naturally choose the most outstanding personnel.

This is not only determined by the status at home, but also to show off the brilliance of your home to outsiders.

The Jia Mansion was also invited in previous years.This year, Yuan Chun was appointed as the noble concubine, and Jia Min's rise, if nothing unexpected happened, there should be no suspense about being invited.

If Jia's family goes, the first priority is Jia's mother, followed by Jia Amnesty in terms of seniority.The younger generation should be Jia Min.

This lineup should be the least controversial.

"You don't need to talk. If you go, I think my family will ask me to go."

"When you go, be more careful, this year, you have many enemies."

Chang An showed a narrow smile.

"My enemy? What do you mean? I've been in Bukui all year, so I haven't offended anyone."

"You will know when the time comes. Besides, this year's Chinese New Year, you'd better stay at home honestly, don't go out, and be careful if someone hits you with a sap?"

"Oh, Li An, you don't have to scare me, I'm not afraid. Li Chengbin, don't you think so?"

"This..., Chief Min, you'd better be careful, I've also heard some legends."

"Li Chengbin, stop talking."

Chang'an stopped Li Chengbin.

"Okay, I won't say anything, I don't know anything."

After eating a meal for about two hours, Baochai and Ping'er were tired and went back to rest early.Chang An's interest remained undiminished, he wanted to procrastinate, but seeing that everyone was leaving, he was too embarrassed to pester Jia Min any longer, and told Jia Min to rest earlier, and then left.

The next morning, he stayed at Jia Min's place for a while before returning to the palace happily.

As soon as Chang'an left, Jia Min checked the New Year's goods in the left-behind class. Seeing that they were ready, he just felt that the grade was a little low, so he asked Ping'er to hand over 50 taels of silver, and asked Zhang Decai to buy more.

There are 12 people in a class, plus the 12 soldiers brought back by Jia Min, there are 24 people in total, and each person is divided into two taels, which is enough to have a very prosperous year, even the money for firecrackers and fireworks.

Baochai and Heping'er went back to the mansion first, while Jia Min stayed and planned to return to the mansion in the afternoon.

Early this morning, Zhang Decai had already sent someone to deliver a letter. Later, Fang Xiucai, Nan'er and Liu Tieshan would come to Yeduju to report to Jia Min about the past year.

Ning'er has been engaged in technical training and promotion in Zhili for the past year. She came back two months ago. When she heard that Jia Min was not coming back, she left again, and she will not come back this year for Chinese New Year.

Around nine o'clock, Fang Xiucai, Feng Sanniang and his wife, Liu Tieshan and Wu Hongmei came almost at the same time.

Jia Min led the government corps on the eighth day of the first month of this year, and it was only ten days away, which was a year.When we met each other, we were filled with joy and emotion.

The technical training and promotion presided over by Fang Xiucai has been ongoing. This project has not been included in Jia's property. Together with Ning'er's project in Zhili, it is Jia Min's private property.

This year, Fang Xiucai adopted a steady and steady business strategy, basically maintaining the scale of last year, and did not start any new projects.

Seeing that training is making money, many people in the imperial capital have begun to imitate it, so the competition has been fierce this year.

Despite this, he still earned more than 8 taels of silver.

According to the original agreement between Jia Min and Fang Xiucai, Fang Xiucai and Tong Xiucai should get 2 taels, and the rest belonged to Jia Min.

Jia Min also has Ping'er and Qingwen's share. They should get nearly 1 taels each, which is their private money.

The lock project that Feng Sanniang is in charge of has already been included in the property of Rongguo Mansion.At present, Feng Sanniang is still in charge.Previously Baochai was in charge, but when Baochai arrived in Bukui, Li Wan and Tanchun were in charge.

The firearms factory in Xiawazi, the original firearms part, has been moved to Bukui.Now it does not produce firearms, but produces civilian products.

However, Liu Tieshan and Wu Hongmei were not idle, and the production of civilian products was not bad.I earned 400 taels of silver for Jia Min.

After a while, Nan'er also rushed over with great interest.

Even though Nan'er is now in the business world of the imperial capital, she is considered a figure.However, when he saw Jia Min, he couldn't help crying.It was Jia Min who comforted him and finally stopped.

Nan'er is in charge of the Jia's bus carriage, which is now under Qin Keqing's jurisdiction. It has basically maintained a stable operation for a year. This year, it has earned more than [-] taels of silver, and two other lines have been opened.

Yesterday, I just paid dividends to the mansion.It made all the masters happy.

It turned out that the long-distance horse-drawn carriage business in Tongzhou, which was a partnership with Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun, and Wei Ruolan, was handed over to those companies before, and Jia Min did not send anyone to participate.It doesn't matter what kind of business they run.

Invited by Fang Xiucai and Feng Sanniang, they arrived at Liujiazhuang at noon and had wine at Fang Xiucai's house.Nan'er, Liu Tieshan and his wife are also old acquaintances, and they usually see each other from time to time, and they were also invited to go together. Because Jia Min is here, they are happy to go together.

When I arrived at Fang Xiucai's house, I realized that it was ready when I came out early in the morning.Even Tong Xiucai started to recruit here.

While eating, we talked about Cong Xiucai.

Now Cong Xiucai is in Bukui, dedicated to literacy education for exiles.The spirit is admirable.It is inevitable to talk about the Xinyou court case again, which is naturally a bit embarrassing.

It was three o'clock after a drink, and Fang Xiucai let Jia Min and the others go without delay.Tong Xiucai and Liu Tieshan also made money this year, and they agreed to treat Jia Min to a drink after the new year, not only to thank Jia Min, but also to celebrate his promotion.

Now that Nan'er is rich, he also agrees to have wine.Accompanied Jia Min all the way to Jia's mansion, and then went to Qin Keqing to report on business matters.

In the end, the guard captain Gao Dazhuang and another guard were left to escort Jia Min back to Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Min entered through the main entrance, and the butler Lai Da came out from the flower hall as soon as he entered.It turned out that I heard that Jia Min was back and had been waiting here.

In addition to Lai Da, Shan Daliang, Wu Xindeng, Zhang Cai.In addition, the butlers of Ningguo Mansion Lai Er, Li Hua and other housekeepers are also waiting here.

Kneeling down and kowtowing to meet the ceremony, he said that the ancestor was already in Rongxi Hall, so he ran there.

Not far away, I saw a group of seven or eight women coming from Dongfu.

The woman with red phoenix eyes, who is not Wang Xifeng, who is not Wang Xifeng?

"Yo, who is this man? Why is he so unfamiliar? He looks like my fourth brother Min. But my fourth brother Min came back last night, why did he only arrive home now? "

"I heard that I went to someone else's house to eat wine. Now the wine in the mansion is poisonous. It seems that I can't eat it. Otherwise, why don't I eat it at my own house and go to someone else's house to eat it..."

After rambling on, he stepped forward and grabbed Jia Min's shoulders and arms, looked up and down, and took the opportunity to pinch a few times to take advantage of it.

Although he was complaining, his eye circles were a little red.Along the way, he kept complaining that Jia Min didn't come home immediately.

Hearing that, Jia Min felt a little warm in his heart.

Arriving at Rongxi Hall, as soon as he entered the room, Jia Min saw a person.I couldn't help being taken aback.

Why is she here?
