"not interested!"
Zheng Shiquan was about to answer the call, but was blocked uncomfortably.
He never expected that the other party would give him such an answer. After all, he had already laid the groundwork before.
If this was a normal person, how could he say he was not interested? You should at least listen to it.
"Master Hou, don't you want to hear what the business is?"
After a moment of silence, Zheng Shiquan asked again without giving up.
Jia Qi glanced at the prince, "You are not qualified to discuss business with me!"
When Zheng Shiquan heard this, his face immediately turned red. Even in the capital, the princes did not dare to neglect him like this. Behind him was a hereditary prince with an army of half a million men. .
"Your Majesty has arrived, all your ministers will come to court early!"
At this moment, Dai Quan's duck voice sounded, and Jia Qi stopped caring about Zheng Shiquan's face and took steps towards Fengtian Hall.
The prince of the feudal lord was left with a pale face.
"Concubine, you are short of ideas!
"
At the end of the team, some inaudible words echoed around Zheng Shiquan. Looking at the young man in scarlet robe, he could not hide the trace of anger in his eyes.
Above the court, as in the past, first the cabinet reported its work, and then officials from the six ministries selected the more important matters received yesterday and reported them to Emperor Mingkang.
Then the Ming and Kang emperors' coalition cabinet would finalize the corresponding solution and select the designated personnel.
Not many of the affairs involved military affairs, and Jia Qi didn't talk to them. One of the more important things was the severe drought in Shandong and Henan.
The imperial court has allocated funds for the earthquake disaster, but according to reports from officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs, the effect does not seem to be very good.
There is almost no harvest in the two places, and the water shortage is very serious. Many victims are fleeing north and south in groups.
This is a natural disaster and beyond human control, so the court did not come up with a better plan and did not force the local people to stay. Doing so would only be a disaster.
Hearing this, Jia Qi couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If you want to farm and grow grains, you need the right time and place to have a good harvest. Even a thousand years later, it depends on the weather to a large extent.
Although the construction of water conservancy can provide temporary relief, sometimes it is beyond our reach. The land and fields are so vast. A river plus its tributaries can only cover a limited area. There are still many places that cannot be used at all, or are not needed. This is all A very realistic thing does not mean that as long as water conservancy is built and ditches are built, things can be solved once and for all.
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.
Jia Qi didn't feel surprised that this person could live to the age of seventy.
In fact, if it is a normal situation, the crown prince is generally the legitimate son of the middle palace. However, for Emperor Kangxi of the Ming Dynasty, the situation was quite special. His wife who was originally married to him died early before giving birth to the prince, and later the middle palace. The empress of the palace, Fan Zhixuan, had no heirs, so according to the tradition left by her ancestors, the position of prince was vacant.
Therefore, the princes of Emperor Mingkang are all likely to inherit the throne. The eldest prince died in Tufan. The second prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince are old enough, but it seems that there are not many people supporting them. Where is the fifth prince? There are many people who support him, but he is still young and is about the same age as Jia Baoyu. He has not experienced many things and lacks experience.
Just now, the fifth prince cannot be seen in the Fengtian Palace.
I just don’t know what Fan Yun, that old guy, and those people from the Wuxun lineage think?
Instead of supporting several princes who had grown up and started to participate in politics, they secretly supported a little guy.
However, these things just flashed through Jia Qi's mind and did not cause much trouble. He didn't care who would inherit the throne. As long as he was a wise leader, he had no objection. If that person was an incompetent person, he didn't care. A person like this, or a mediocre lord, he just thought that he would change his mind and change his ways when the time comes!
However, he never revealed this to anyone, and even said that Cai Luan and the others only knew about his Wuxin position and did not know about his other plans.
Time flew by, and soon the morning court came to an end. This time, Emperor Mingkang did not leave Jia Qi alone, but called the cabinet ministers to the imperial study.
The drought matter discussed today was too involved. He thought that Emperor Mingkang was obviously worried. After all, these two identities were not far from the capital. If they all rushed into the capital, there would be problems near the capital.
On the way to the next court, Jia Qi saw an acquaintance, an acquaintance that surprised him a bit. This person had never been waiting for him here before. This person was none other than Jia Zheng, the second master of the Rongguo Palace. .
Judging from the other party's appearance, he seemed to be waiting for him specially.
Jia Qi didn't shy away from this. He walked over and greeted the other party.
In the Duke's Mansion, this is probably the only good person. Compared with Jia She and Jia Zhen, although this one is a bit pretentious, which is often said to be prude, his bottom line is ultimately higher than those two. Out a lot.
And he had also received a lot of favors from the other party back then, and he still remembered these in his heart.
"Master Zheng~"
There were not many people around, so Jia Qi chose a more appropriate title.
When Jia Zheng heard this, he was greatly comforted.
"Brother Xing!"
Jia Chu didn't say much and went straight to the point. After all, this was not the place to talk.
"Is something wrong?"
Jia Zheng thought for a while and said bluntly: "The Hou Mansion has been very helpful in your affairs. The Mansion said it wanted to thank you, and set up a banquet, as well as the garden. It has just been completed, and there are still many details that have not yet been completed." Perfect, the old lady wants to complete the garden. Brother Qi, you have done a lot of work and have a lot of experience outside. I would like to invite you to give me some advice, so as not to embarrass the queen."
After hearing this, Jia Qi thought for a while and did not refuse. With his relationship with Yuan Chun, he could go to the garden. To be honest, he was still somewhat interested in that garden.
After all, in another story, this courtyard is the most colorful.
"Master Zheng, please go away. I'll go back to my house to clean up, and then I'll pay you a visit!"
"Then we're waiting for you!"
...
