"Sister-in-law Feng, don't worry about the money. I'll think of a way out in a few days," Jia Heng said.
He doesn't have a good business opportunity for a while, but there is one thing he can do, which is to rectify the Jia clan as the clan leader, especially the Lai family. How much money has he embezzled from the east and west mansions?
How much possessions have the two brothers Lai Da and Lai Er accumulated over the years they have been housekeepers in the two houses?
It is almost conceivable that at that time, the Lai family fell and the Jia family was full!
If you want to rectify the Lai family, you cannot do without Jia Mu. If you want to persuade Jia Mu, who is more suitable than Sister Feng?
At this time, Sister Feng raised her eyebrows and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Jia Heng said coldly: "You will know in a few days. You should stop usury first. The money borrowed by others will be charged normal interest. Otherwise, Sister-in-law Feng will be waiting for the old and young men to poke fun at the ancestral hall." Crest bone.”
As the saying goes, if things are not kept secret, it will cause harm. For the Lai family, if you don't move, you will be uprooted.
Sister Feng glanced at Jia Heng suspiciously. She seemed to be shocked by the "ferociousness" on the young man's face. Her heart moved slightly. Danfeng's eyes flashed and she said: "I will wait for you for at most half a month. Over there in Xifu, there is no movement." No money."
"I'm telling you, stop the loan sharking." Jia Heng suddenly stood up, looked at Sister Feng condescendingly, and said word by word: "Not for half a month."
This is a kind of psychological oppression.
Sister Feng's beautiful face condensed slightly, her heart was shaken, and she subconsciously wanted to reply, but when she met the young man's eyes that could not be refused, when the words came to her lips, her tone was three points weaker, and she said coldly: "Stop when you say stop. You ride a horse and shout, but the horse still takes two steps forward."
Jia Heng took a deep look at Sister Feng and said calmly: "You are not a horse."
Sister Feng raised her eyebrows, Danfeng's eyes flashed, and a look of confusion appeared on Guazi's face, and then she said angrily: "Who are you scolding?"
"I didn't say you were a horse." Jia Heng picked up the tea, took a sip, waved his hand and said, "Okay, go back quickly."
Sister Feng snorted softly and walked outside. As soon as she crossed the threshold and entered the flower hall, she saw a jade face that was as crystal clear as snow. She suddenly reacted and pursed her pink lips.
No, Jia Heng took advantage of her!
Of course she was not a horse, but there was no reason for him to ride her.
Okay, if you really know people but don’t know their hearts, you will die sooner or later...
Well, that doesn't seem right. It didn't look like Jia Heng was teasing her intentionally, it was more like he was just casually saying what she said.
Could it be that she is... being too worried?
Jia Heng seemed to have a cold personality, and his eyes were very "clear" just now.
At this time, he looked up at Qin Keqing opposite and laughed at himself, "How could such a fairy daughter have such thoughts in her room?"
Jia Heng raised his eyes and watched "Rouge Horse" leave. He put down the teacup in his hand, his face showing contemplation.
I also have a more three-dimensional understanding of Sister Feng, a woman who is so colorful in the original work of "A Dream of Red Mansions".
"Although his temperament is a bit fierce, his nature is not hopelessly bad." Jia Heng thought.
If it were Xia Jingui, he would just slap him to death.
Sister Feng came to the flower hall. Qin Keqing, who was talking to Heping'er, stood up and said with a smile: "Sister, have you told my husband? Is it going well?"
Sister Feng smiled, pinched the corner of the handkerchief, and said with a smile: "I have already said it, it is quite smooth. Okay, let's not talk about it for now. I will come to see you again tomorrow, but sister Qing, when I look at you, I feel like Closeness.”
Qin Keqing smiled: "Sister, sister, I am too."
The two sisters were chatting and laughing, and Sister Feng got up and left on the excuse that it was getting late.
…
…
In the Daming Palace, the palace lanterns were still on. Behind the eucalyptus, the emperor in imperial robes held a map in his hand. It was a map of the terrain around Cuihua Mountain and the confessions of the bandits.
The difference is that the map is clearer and the confessions are more detailed.
Emperor Chongping put down the map in his hand, looked at Xia Houying who was standing not far away, and said: "This Jia Ziyu... is really unexpected."
Emperor Chongping said with emotion, suppressing the shock in his heart.
This Jia Ziyu is indeed a talented person in managing affairs. He can deduce the hiding place of the Cuihua Mountain bandits from just some clues.
Seeing the slightest hint of danger reveals one's sharp edge.
I thought that my son was good at being broad-minded, and his practical skills might need some training, but unexpectedly he was just hearing the thunder in silence. Could anyone really be born with this strategizing mind?
In fact, there are quite a few such people who are good at making general plans but are helpless when it comes to specific matters.
Of course, in Emperor Chongping's mind, he would not classify Jia Heng as "Zhao Kuo, Ma Di", but felt that the young man still needed some experience, and did not want to be surprised in the blink of an eye.
Xia Houying said in a clear voice: "Your Majesty, the young officer named Cai Quan from the Beijing camp has been sent on an errand by Commander Niu from the Yiyong camp. Tomorrow he will take his 800 soldiers to Cuihua Mountain to suppress the bandits."
"Niu Jizong is not good at leading troops, but he is very proficient in this kind of stumbling block." Emperor Chongping snorted and said coldly.
Xia Houying said softly: "Your Majesty, Jia Heng is a good friend of Cai Quan and has promised Cai Quan to go to Cuihua Mountain to suppress the bandits. If nothing unexpected happens, he will set off tomorrow."
After hearing this, Emperor Chongping thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Dai Quan, pick a few skilled people from the Zhenfu Division to protect Jia Ziyu. If he makes any mistakes, you are the only one to ask."
This kind of young handsome man must not be broken.
Dai Quan's face became solemn when he heard this, his heart became more awe-inspiring, and he had more opinions on Jia Heng's holy scroll. He cupped his hands and said, "I will obey your Majesty's order."
Dai Quan hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said: "This slave has also received information about Jia Heng."
Emperor Chongping frowned and asked: "You slave, since you have the information about Ziyu, why don't you come to report in the morning?"
"I just got this slave from a spy." Dai Quan smiled and took out a letter from his sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, after Jia Heng entered the Ningguo Mansion, in front of the men of the Jia clan, It is said that two schools, Chongwen and Jiangwu, will be built in the mansion for the children to study. Now it has spread in the capital, and everyone is saying that Jia Heng lives up to His Majesty's praise of being virtuous and virtuous, and lives up to public expectations."
Emperor Chongping took the letter and stared at the description on it. After reading it, he smiled and said, "I was not wrong about him. Isn't this what I want by advocating literature and martial arts?"
When Dai Quan heard this, he was shocked.
Emperor Chongping was silent, holding the letter, thinking about something in his mind for a long time, and said: "Tomorrow morning, you can go and pass on my oral instructions. Jia Heng is a kind and talented man. He has just arrived in Ningguo. He is compassionate to his children and friendly to his clan. I will give him my sincere condolences." , Jiaheng was given the title of Commander of the Imperial Guards, and was entitled to a fourth-grade salary. He was also given a Feiyu waist badge, which he could pass to the palace for an audience."
Today, due to financial constraints, the official system of the Chen and Han Dynasties has been abolished. The civil and military ranks are in one system, and the civil and military ranks are in another system.
Therefore, it is often the case that civil servants do not receive specific duties, which leads to a confusion of official duties and dispatches.
Emperor Chongping's decree was obviously to give Jia Heng the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Capital, and he would not receive any actual salary, but would only enjoy a regular fourth-grade salary.
Because it is the imperial guard's job, it belongs to the emperor's family affairs, but the Holy Heart is the dictatorship, and there is no need to draft an edict, just follow the edict.
For example, Xia Houying was in command of Jinyiweidu, but in fact she did not go on duty as Jinyiwei, but only received a salary to protect the eldest princess of Jinyang.
Emperor Chongping's move itself was to make it easier for Jia Heng to enter the palace at any time to give a speech, and it was also to compensate for the "resignation of the title".
Of course, the central edict is followed. Even if the edict is drafted to the cabinet, the cabinet will not draft the edict. Even if the edict is drafted and written in six subjects, it will be rejected.
However, to achieve the goal, the superiors and subordinates only thought it was the grace of salary.
Because of his resignation, Jia Heng's virtuous reputation was widely known throughout the country, and the emperor wanted to pay tribute to him, so no one would say anything indifferently.
"Jia Heng previously said that he would take the imperial examination. Will this affect his career?" Xia Houying hesitated and said.
Emperor Chongping smiled softly and said: "This is really a false title to send salary, and it will not affect his taking the imperial examination. Besides, even though it is a real title, if he wants to take the imperial examination, I remember that the imperial examination only prohibits the children of outstanding officials from applying, right?" In addition, when he returns from successfully suppressing the bandits, I will give him a generous reward!"
The restrictions on the qualifications for the examination for scientific reports have been slightly different in the past dynasties, but there is a category of people who must not apply for the examination - the sons of officials who promote excellence.
Jia Heng wanted to take the imperial examination. In fact, Emperor Chongping thought it was dispensable. The imperial examination was just a means to become an official. However, the party struggle between the DPRK and China was growing day by day. Being from a civil service background might be more convenient.
"Now that he is going to suppress the bandits, if he doesn't reward him with famous weapons, I'm afraid he will be restrained by the arrogant and powerful generals in the Beijing camp." Emperor Chongping's eyes flashed and he thought.
The bandits in the Sanfu area of the capital have been wreaking havoc for more than a day. The people in the capital camp are crying, but he wants to see what Niu Jizong and others have to say when Jia Heng returns with a weak force to suppress the bandits!
Dai Quan on the side was secretly stunned when he heard what Emperor Chongping said. Your Majesty really showed the utmost favor to Jia Heng.
