With Hanmozhai's power backed by the eldest princess of Jinyang, if he told several booksellers in the sacred city not to accept Jia Heng's manuscripts, it would really create a "blocking" effect.
When Liu Tong came downstairs from the third floor of Hanmo Studio and saw Jia Heng, he relayed Miss Lianxue's message and said: "Mr. Jia, we have to wait and see if that noble man can meet with him to renegotiate the price. Mr. Jia Please give the manuscript to me first, and I will send it to the girl."
Jia Heng nodded, handed over the manuscript he carried with him, and said: "All the six episodes are here, Mr. Lao."
Obviously the maid next to the noble man did not want to see him.
Changing places is the same for him.
Jia Heng picked up the tea on the small table, took a sip, and said to the waiter on the side: "Tell your shopkeeper that I'm going back first."
In the past few days, we have been preparing for the wedding, and we have to send several invitations in person.
Whether it was his predecessor's cousin Dong Qian, Cai Quan, and Xie Zaiyi, or Song Yuan, Han, and Yu from the Imperial College, or the residence of Shenwu General Feng Tang, as well as the old lady Jia Mu, all of them required him to visit in person.
From Jia Mu's point of view, it's just a matter of thorough etiquette.
No need to think about this, why did Jia Mu come?
But no matter what, in the matter of Jia Zhen's marriage abduction, Jia's mother finally upheld justice. No matter what her considerations were, he had to accept this sentiment, not to mention sending Qingwen over, and Qin Keqing got through smoothly. , always let us know.
But towards the Jia family, his strategy is still to maintain a detached attitude. If he can cut, do it. If he can't, don't let the Jia family suck his blood. He really can't do the job of being a nanny for the Jia family.
Of course, interest exchange is not included in this.
In fact, this can be regarded as the reason for the decline of the Jia family. As for the family of officials and nobles, it does not mean that all the direct descendants are successful. After all, the glory of a gentleman will be cut off after five generations. If the direct descendants are not successful, if there are outstanding descendants from the side branches, it will That's when we win over each other.
Jia's mother was sending her maid off again, and she probably had this intention unintentionally.
Jia Heng left the Hanmo Studio, took a donkey cart, and rushed home to write the wedding invitation and give it away, not to mention it for now.
But he said that Lianxue took the manuscript, and under the service of two nuns, boarded the carriage parked at the back door of Hanmo Studio and headed towards the Princess Jinyang's mansion.
The eldest princess was favored by the empress dowager who was the mother of Emperor Chongping and raised in Changle Palace. She lived in the city and was honored to the highest degree by thousands of households.
Even the built Princess Mansion is majestic and majestic. The garden covers an area of several hectares and is equipped with pavilions, pavilions, rockery corridors and bridges. It is several times more honorable than an ordinary prince's home.
In fact, since the city of Shenjing was the capital of the Chen and Han Dynasties, it has undergone successive renovations and has gradually returned to its old appearance in the Tang Dynasty.
It is true that since the Tang Dynasty, during the Five Dynasties, the land of Guanzhong was repeatedly destroyed by war. The capital gradually became dilapidated, water transportation was blocked, and the population loss increased. It seemed that it was no longer suitable to build a capital. However, times have changed and the seas have changed. Before Peiping was the capital, it was not a place where people could enjoy the breeze every day. Eat sand?
By the time of the Song Dynasty, the Xixia Party Xiang Xiao was causing trouble in the northwest. Naturally, the Song Dynasty would not abandon Bianjing's mature water transport system and make Chang'an its capital.
But far away, the former Song Dynasty had its capital in Kaifeng, and there was no danger to sustain it. It suffered the humiliation of Bianliang, and finally the Song Dynasty fell to the Jin Dynasty. Later, the Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty was trapped in the capital, relying on the coming and going of the enemy, setting itself on fire and losing the country... Such tragic events happened one after another, Chen How could Han not learn a lesson and learn from it painfully?
Taizu and Taizong of the Chen Han Dynasty, in order to extend the clan community and ensure long-term stability of the country, it took more than thirty years to rebuild Xijing. In order to solve the problem of large numbers of people living in Luo, they dredged rivers in Guanzhong, built water conservancy projects, and expanded the city. , it took hundreds of years to build palaces, and it was worthy of establishing a capital, with the stronghold of Weihan and the dangers of mountains and rivers.
Twenty years ago, Liaodong fell. The Eastern captives held strong cavalry and threatened Beiping, which shocked the world.
It also illustrates the foresight of Taizu Taizu of the Chen and Han Dynasties in choosing the capital.
In fact, in the pre-Ming Dynasty, in the 24th year of Hongwu's reign, there was an intention to establish Chang'an as the capital. The censor Hu Huqi said: "...according to the dangers of hundreds of rivers and mountains, we can overwhelm the expectations of the princes and find the best places in the world. Nothing like Guanzhong." At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was quite moved and ordered Prince Zhu Biao to inspect Guanzhong. However, Zhu Biao died of illness and the move to the capital was gradually stopped.
After the Jingnan Rebellion, the capital was moved to Beijing.
It is no exaggeration to say that the matter of establishing the capital is... a thousand-year plan.
Since it is a thousand-year plan, Xiong'an has been planning for decades to rebuild the world and redefine the longitude and latitude...isn't it an exaggeration?
Lianxue carried her skirt, got off the carriage, and entered the mansion. After walking for about half a quarter of an hour, she passed the Moon Gate, walked around the main hall of the Imperial Xuanhua Hall, and arrived at a three-story attic. The sound of the piano came from the Qiong Tower, and he stepped lightly.
The wooden staircase to the attic was covered with wool carpet, so going up and down the stairs was quiet.
Lianxue came to the second floor and looked up at the familiar gorgeous figure. She was wearing a long red palace dress with a slender waist and high waist, which highlighted her exquisite and graceful figure. Under her long and white neck, her collarbone was as delicate as Jade, under the tube top are your beautiful breasts.
A golden hairpin is swayed between the lush clouds on the temples, and the woman's hair is pulled up high into a bun, reflecting a face that is as beautiful as a peach and as beautiful as a peach. Even without applying any powder, it is difficult to hide her peerless beauty. , and from the corners of the woman's brows and eyes, there is a familiar and charming charm.
The way he moves his hands and feet, his temperament is elegant and dignified.
The slender hands were holding a purple sand teapot, pouring tea. The steaming water rushed into the amber glass-like wine glass. The tender green tea leaves unfolded piece by piece. Opposite to the small table, a man wearing a plain embroidered python robe sat kneeling. , a young man with tied hair, aged twenty-four or five, with a thin face, a hawk-nosed nose, and deep eyes, bowed to express his thanks.
"Auntie's tea art is getting better and better." King Chen Qin of Chu picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He glanced at the beauty in palace clothes opposite, his sinister and soft eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but feel amazed. .
I don’t know if she sensed this gaze, but the eldest princess of Jinyang frowned. Her face was as cold as snow, and she said calmly: "If the King of Chu has any serious business, just send Chang Shi." That is, you don’t have to go around and around to ask Yue’er to deliver the message.”
But it was the day before yesterday that the King of Chu gave Li Chanyue, Princess Qinghe, a precious pony that shines like a jade lion. Li Chanyue led the King of Chu to the house and asked to see the eldest princess of Jinyang.
King Chu put down the tea cup, smiled at the eldest princess of Jinyang, and said: "I know that I can't hide it from my aunt's discernment. I really have something to ask for. The day before yesterday, Grand Scholar Li informed his father in the Daming Palace that he wanted to raise a batch of armaments and food. , and was immediately sent to the front line to supply the troops under the command of Shandong Admiral Lu Qi. On that day, my nephew was not talented and took the initiative to ask for this job."
"When things are turbulent here, you can take the initiative to share the worries of the king and father, and it is not in vain that the emperor sends you to the Ministry of War to observe the government." The eldest princess of Jinyang looked calm and spoke politely in a cold voice.
The two kings of Qi and Chu were not descended from Emperor Chongping's queen, so compared to the two kings of Wei and Liang, the king of Chu naturally had a lukewarm attitude towards Princess Jinyang.
The King of Chu didn't take it seriously either. He put down the tea cup and said seriously: "Auntie, my nephew has a problem now and he is about to bother auntie."
The eldest princess of Jinyang paused slightly and said, "What's the difficulty?"
The King of Chu explained: "Previously, the Ministry of Revenue was responsible for raising grain, but now it was suddenly taken over by my nephew. The Ministry of Revenue said that the autumn grain has not yet been shipped to the capital, and the summer grain in the warehouse will supply the official salary of the capital camp. It cannot be done without permission. It’s the time when there is no shortage of grain, so we have to buy additional grain. My nephew heard that my aunt runs dozens of grain stores in Beijing, so I asked her shamelessly to see if I could sell some to my nephew."
Hearing this, the eldest princess of Jinyang twisted her slender eyebrows, her phoenix eyes flashed, and she said in a clear voice: "You can just go and talk to Manager Xie in the house about these businessmen's affairs. Since they are national affairs, according to the Just sell it to you for the purchase price."
The eldest princess of Jinyang owns vast hectares of fertile land and runs part of the grain business from Bashu to Beijing.
The King of Chu sighed and said: "However, the Ministry of Household Affairs only allocated 200,000 taels. If we buy grain, there is still a gap of 300,000 taels..."
At this time, Li Chanyue, who was playing the piano, stopped playing the piano, walked with graceful steps, and said with a sneer: "Brother Wang gave me a precious horse, is it to find my mother to fight in the autumn wind?"
