"Hey hey hey, look, come and take a look!"

Jia She smiled wildly and handed the small cloth bag in his arms to a bearded man in front.

Several old dudes around who were about the same age as Jia She came over with curious faces.

Jia She chuckled and opened the lower corner of the cloth bag and showed it to several people.

"Look, look at these two strong calves, eh? Look at this little sparrow, he has peed! Look! He is indeed my eldest grandson. Look how far he peed."

"cut!"

A group of old dudes looked at Jia She who was going crazy with contempt.

It's been like this for a few days. Every time I meet, I start talking about how wonderful my grandson is...

"What are you looking at? Do you have any grandchildren? Hehe, I do! Ask your son to give you one!" Jia She showed off to the old dudes with a mean look on his face.

yes!

Several old dudes simultaneously turned to look at their sons who were flattering Jia Hui, their eyes flashed with a cold light!

The legitimate sons of each family shivered suddenly, feeling something in their hearts. They looked behind them, and their eyes met their father's eyes.

"Hahahaha, Fourth, my eldest son has been born, it's time for you to work hard, hahaha!" Jia Hui patted Chen Si's shoulder with a wry smile on his face, feeling very proud.

"Don't talk about me yet, Jinyu, have you decided on a name for our eldest nephew?" Chen Si wanted to change the subject.

"This is very confusing. I want to choose one of the three words Ying, Fang and Zhi, but I just can't decide."

Alas, the bad naming coupled with difficulty in choosing is driving Jia Hui to death these days.

"Actually, we can let our eldest nephew make his own choice." Shi Yuanxiu said at the side.

"Huh? Choose by yourself? If I remember correctly, my son is just one month old today, right?" Jia Hui raised his eyebrows.

"I know. I just want to carve a few wooden plaques for my eldest nephew, and we can just take the one he chooses."

"Hiss—there's something going on. Hu Jiu, go find some wooden signs, put some thicker paper on them and send them over. Hurry up."

"yes!"

Hu Jiu, who was standing by, accepted the promise, turned around and left Yingtai Hall.

"By the way, brother, have you chosen your nickname?"

"Your sister-in-law has already picked it up, Dan'er."

"Egg? Which egg, egg's egg?"

"Let you go."

Just as Jia Hui was about to curse, he swallowed the curse words when he thought that today was his son's full moon party.

"The clouds are green as if it is raining, and the water is sluggish with smoke. A sentence from Li Taibai's "Dream Wandering Tianmu Song Leaving Farewell". Your sister-in-law said that the martial arts in the Taiwei Mansion is too strong, and she wants to attract some slow water. Neutralize it.

But you won’t really develop a humble gentleman who is not proficient in martial arts. After all, ‘Dan’ in this sentence means turbulent water waves.”

There is stillness in movement, and there is movement in stillness!

As he spoke, Jia Hui turned his attention to his wife.

After being locked up in his own yard for a whole month, Li Wan was finally released from the confinement room.

Since he had found a wet nurse for Xiaoya Nei early, Li Wan did not need to eat too much to stimulate lactation. He only needed to eat some food that would help him recover and sit out the confinement period.

The wet nurse was carefully selected from the family members of Jia Hui's more than two hundred soldiers. As the eldest son of Taiwei, Xiaoyanei will definitely be the head of the family of Jia Hui's descendants in the future. If his mother-in-law becomes Xiaoyanei's wet nurse, his children will become Xiaoyanei's wet nurses.

Will at least three generations of my family be wealthy soon?

So the family members of the soldiers became extremely enthusiastic about becoming Xiaoya Nei's wet nurse.

Li Wan, who had obviously put on a lot of weight, was also surrounded by the wives of various families, who taught her some professional knowledge such as parenting skills. Li Wan also lost his past aloofness and concentrated on talking to the wives of each family. discuss.

Jia Hui watched everything happening in Yingtai Hall with satisfaction.

so good.

. . . . . .

It has been a whole month since Jia Yanei was born, and the entire Jia family is crazy with joy. Even Li Shouzhong, who is usually indifferent and noble, is also very happy. They have held a seven-day flowing banquet banquet for guests from all over the world!

The cook was in pain and happy.

After seven days, the cook, who had finally taken a breather and rested for a few days, was dragged back to the kitchen again.

Jia Zhu will try it later!

Rongguo Mansion once again hosted a banquet for guests from all over the world for three days!

If it weren't for the fact that the Jia family was rich and generous and directly paid two hundred taels, the cook would have given up his choice!

Then it’s time to hold a full moon banquet for Jia Yanei

The cook has seen through the world of mortals, and plans to save enough money for his family after taking this order, and then find a temple or a temple to become a monk.

But before that, we still need to perfectly organize the Taiwei family’s full moon banquet!

Soon it was time for dinner, and all the relatives, friends and senior officials and dignitaries who were eligible to enter the Taiwei Mansion took their seats.

Not everyone can enter the Taiwei's Mansion. Those who can enter must either be old relatives or have a title. At the very least, they must be high-ranking officials of the third rank or above before they can eat at the table.

For those of the third grade or below, after registering at the concierge and putting down the gift, your intention will be fulfilled.

Although most of them are not expensive things, giving them away and not giving them away are two different things. If you give them away, it may not attract the attention of the prince, but the petty prince will definitely remember those things he did not give away.

"Hahaha, elders, can you hold a small ceremony before we start the banquet?"

Jia Mu, Jia She and others looked back at Jia Hui, not knowing what he was going to do, but they still nodded with a smile on their faces.

After all, today is the full moon feast of Jia Hui's eldest son, so he won't do anything bad.

"Come, dad, give me my son."

"Ah, Cheng, please be careful for me!"

Jia She reluctantly handed the little grandson in his arms to the child's biological father.

"It's not that big of a deal. I just picked a few names and I really don't know which word to choose for the child. I just want the child to choose it himself."

The servants nearby quickly pulled up a shelf, on which several brocade ribbons were tied to the horizontal bars and gathered together. The ends of the brocade ribbons were tightly supported by several wooden plaques, with a few words faintly written on them, as if Like wind chimes.

"Come on, Dan'er."

Jia Taiwei gently placed Jia Yanei under the shelf, and the few wooden signs could just be reached by Jia Yanei's little hands.

Jia Yanei, who didn't understand what was going on, stared blankly at the old father beside him, shouting "Ahhhh".

Seeing his old father pointing at a few wooden signs, Jia Yanei's attention was instantly attracted by several small wooden signs, and he stretched out his chubby hand to grab them upwards.

Snapped!

The little chubby hand grabbed a small wooden sign and whined, trying to pull the wooden sign off.

It's a pity that my strength is too weak and I just can't pull it off.

Seeing that he was about to shed tears, Jia Hui laughed and untied the small wooden sign. He took a look at what was written on the paper and then tore off the paper and handed the wooden sign to Jia Yanei.

He picked up Jia Yanei again and showed his face to the heavy duty present.

"Hahaha, my son has a famous name, Jiaying!"

. . . . . .

"Lieutenant, congratulations!"

"The Governor is so happy to see Lin'er!"

"Hahaha, thank you, thank you. Yesterday I was not very well-received. Today I ordered several tables of delicious food from You Le Zhai. You all will be very happy at noon!"

Everyone in the Zuojun Governor's Mansion also smiled and responded that they would definitely come to the banquet.

After taking a whole month off, Jia Hui also returned to the Festival Hall of the Zuojun Governor's Mansion after an absence of nearly a year.

The imperial dynasty had never established the position of Taiwei, and Jia Hui was the first. In addition, the Taiwei's powers are almost gone, so there is no need to set up a separate Taiwei's mansion.

The Taiwei Mansion that everyone now refers to is just Jia Hui's residence, and the plaque still hanging on it is the Dunhuang County Duke's Mansion.

As soon as he sat on the chair behind the hall, the clerks brought tea that had been brewed and placed it in front of Jia Hui.

Some more petty officials walked into the festival hall holding stacks of backlogged documents.

“Hiss—it’s only been two months since the Chinese New Year and there’s already so much backlog?”

Seeing the piles of documents carried in by the clerks, Jia Hui felt dizzy.

"This Lieutenant, at the end of last year, the Commander-in-Chief of the Central Army retired. The rest of you are far away in Jinling. The Commander-in-Chief of the Right Army, Mr. Yun, is in the southwest. The Commander-in-Chief of the Rear Army, Mr. Lu Gong, is also not in good health. He can hardly survive for a month. Come here once! I have a backlog of so many things.

Those idiots in the Ministry of War have been clamoring that they want to transfer the errands of our Fifth Army Commander's Mansion to the Ministry of War!

Fortunately, the two saints were so wise and powerful that they demoted all the petty officials who submitted the petition to Mr. Southwest Yun on the spot! "

The clerk began to talk non-stop to Jia Hui about the bad things that the civil servants in the court had recently done to the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army.

"You mean, I'm the only one left in charge of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion now?"

Jia Hui looked at the clerk with a sad face.

The Ministry of War's mission to seize the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army is no longer a matter of one or two days. It happens almost two or three times a year. However, the Governor's Mansion is not a vegetarian either. It is also asking the Ministry of War for the stolen Military Selection Department.

In fact, everyone knows that it is impossible to overcome the other party's power, but there is no way, this is the position. Anyway, it's just a chat to eliminate dissidents, so let's just spend it like this.

"Yes, Lieutenant Commander, until Governor Yun comes back from the southwest, you will be the only one left among us warriors to shoulder the responsibility."

The clerk quickly flattered him.

"Oh shit."

Jia Hui did not feel the joy that came from having power in the government.

But there is no way. Now the only three remaining governors are capable of taking charge of these affairs.

He started to deal with the paperwork with a look of displeasure on his face.

"By the way, go and get me this year's frontier military attache list."

"Yes!" The clerk quickly bowed and agreed, and ran towards the stall.

"well"

He lowered his head and read the document.

Oh, Governor Yun has applied to transport a batch of firecrackers and artillery.

Well, forget about the fire guns. With the current level of fire guns, they are not very useful in the southwest, and there are no military crossbows that can be used. There's no need, just transport more crossbows, there are only five thousand. Just send fifty more artillery pieces of various types over there.

And the fire gun itself has other uses.

After writing his own opinions on the document, he stamped it with the Grand Governor's seal and put it aside.

Newly split the defense replacement plan for Anhui Province and Jianghuai Province?

Looking at the names and positions on the paperwork, Jia Hui began to recall their various performances during the counterinsurgency.

There is basically nothing wrong with this list. Jia Hui only crossed out a few names of people who were really not good enough and added a few more capable officers from the Jiangnan Camp to use their seals.

"Lieutenant, the things are here."

While Jia Hui was immersed in his work, a junior official entered the festival hall with this year's military attaché list from Jiubian.

"Put it on the table."

After sealing the documents in his hand again, Jia Hui handed over several documents that had been processed to the clerk. The clerk quickly stretched out his hands and took the documents.

"Send it to the relevant ministries to use the seals, and ask them not to delay, especially the southwest share at the top. Let Xia Budang allocate the money quickly. Let the Military War Bureau send the existing things first without delay."

The clerk accepted the promise and left the festival hall with the document in his arms.

"Um"

The next step is to select soldiers.

Opening the directory, Jia Hui searched for familiar names.

Gansu Town. Wang Chong and Lu Yue.

Ningxia Town. Of course it’s Yoda!

Thirteen young generals were selected from among the Jiubian generals. They all cooperated well with Jia Hui in the battle to destroy the Yuan Dynasty, and they were all considered to be brave and resourceful people.

In addition, several of his old brothers, together with the border army, are responsible for some areas where the quantity and quality of the sects are relatively high.

Then give each of them a deputy from the Beijing camp, a deputy from the local garrison in charge of the province, and work together!

Soldiers. Anyway, there has been no fighting in the Nine Borders recently. Hundreds of thousands of border troops are so idle that it hurts. It is the time when Jingji is thinking about finding new ways to make money!

Let's recruit an army by recruiting soldiers. Come if you want to, don't force me if you don't want to.

The remuneration income was confiscated into 37% account. There are seven imperial courts and three soldiers.

The capture of generals is 40 or 60.

Haha, with such favorable conditions, there is no reason for them not to work hard!

Write these things in the memorial and go to Xiyuan in the afternoon.

. . . . . .

The whole morning passed quietly like this. I accompanied my subordinates in the Governor's Mansion to have a meal of Youle Zhai's delicious food, cultivated a relationship, and then went to Xiyuan after taking a short rest.

During this time, the emperor should also be in Xiyuan.

It's not that he doesn't want to go to the palace to find the emperor, but that the Dongchang responsible for monitoring the rivers and lakes is now in the hands of the emperor. It's useless whether the emperor agrees or not. In this matter, the emperor has the final say.

"Haha, Mr. Dai, I'm here to give you the credit!"

Upon hearing Jia Hui's arrival, the emperor sent Dai Quan to pick him up as usual.

"Oh? I wonder what kind of credit the captain mentioned?"

Dai Quan became interested and smiled at Jia Hui.

"I remember that not only my silver was attacked, but even the court's silver fleet was attacked by those crazy dogs, right?"

Upon hearing Jia Hui's words, Dai Quan immediately reflected what Jia Hui wanted to do.

"This is really a great achievement."

Isn't this the result of tailor-made for Dongchang?

"Yes, yes, I plan to use the pretext that people from the Jianghu community gather to rob the official bank, and mobilize the Jiubian border troops to go south, and repeat the bloodbath of Jianghu in the twelfth year of Taizong Xianqing's reign."

"Bloodbath?"

"No, no, no, it's a bit repetitive to call it a blood bath. Let's call it a horse riding in the rivers and lakes!"

Dai Quan was very moved by Jia Hui's idea, but it was the Second Sage who ultimately made the decision. He would wait until Jia Hui convinced the Second Sage.
