Feudal society was composed of scholars, peasants, and merchants, with merchants ranking at the bottom.
Naturally, Jia Zheng didn't want to see Jia Baoyu become so depraved and disgraceful.
With an ugly face, he scolded Jia Baoyu directly: "What a bastard who spends all his time wandering around. Look at what you look like now. You are obsessed with romance all day long and don't think about making progress. What a shame! Get out of here, you can do it now." Go back to me and study hard. You must give me a high school title for the imperial examination and county examination next year and make a name for myself."
The more he hopes his son will succeed, the more Jia Baoyu's behavior of pretending to be a loser makes Jia Zheng feel angry and unhappy.
He thought that Jia Zheng's daughter was a royal concubine in the palace, but his son was a complete loser.
That feeling of disparity always made Jia Zheng feel unhappy and miserable.
He couldn't control this emotion.
After all, in Jia Zheng's view, what kind of person is a man if he can't become an official?
Because his old father wrote a posthumous memorial before his death, Jia Zheng never achieved anything famous in his life. Even though he was very talented in reading in the imperial examination, he ended up miserable.
He didn't want his son Jia Baoyu to be like him and have no great future in his life.
It is said that he is a relative of the emperor and the father of the country. In fact, only Jia Zheng knows what it feels like.
Now when Jia Zheng looked at the helpless Jia Baoyu, how could he tell the pain in his heart to outsiders.
Hearing Jia Zheng's words, Jia Yun hurriedly pulled Jia Lian, gave Jia Lian a look, and said with a smile: "Second brother Lian, then you can give me the jade!"
Jia Lian also noticed that something was slightly wrong in the atmosphere. After being reminded by Jia Yun, he immediately woke up and nodded hurriedly and said: "Baoyu, just follow me back!"
"..." Jia Baoyu felt helpless and could only follow Jia Lian.
........
A few days passed before everyone left.
On this day, Jia Yun went out to the dock to see Jia Zheng leave Beijing and take up a post elsewhere.
There were many people who went to see him off, including Jia Lian, Jia She, Jia Baoyu...
Just because Jia Zheng went to take office alone, he was accompanied by a large group of people.
In addition to the long-term servants of Rongguo Mansion who serve him everywhere, there are also some staff around Jia Zheng.
These people have followed Jia Zheng for many years but have not gained any benefits. Now that they heard that Jia Zheng was appointed to another place, they were thinking about following Jia Zheng out to make money and make a fortune.
After ten years of clearing the prefecture, one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver were earned.
They go up and down to eat and get cards, but they are not allowed to get rich!
As a result, these people were thinking that the opportunity they had been waiting for for many years was finally coming through.
With these ideas, it is also positive to do things.
Jia Zheng looked at the people around him and said with a smile: "Okay, don't send me away. I have to rush to take office, so I won't say anything more here."
"Second Grandpa, don't worry, I will take good care of everything in the capital." Jia Yun looked at Jia Zheng and gave Jia Zheng another promise.
Then Jia Zheng said goodbye to everyone one by one.
The place where Jia Zheng was appointed was actually not that far away from the capital.
This is also considering the relationship between Yuan Fei and Jia Yun. It would be an extremely dishonorable thing for Jia Zheng to go to a remote countryside or a poor place.
What's more, Jia Yun operates from it, which is only a few days away from the capital.
Moreover, Jia Yun also specially arranged a lucrative position for Jia Zheng, which can be regarded as treating Jia Zheng well.
If Jia Zheng could put down his dignity and get some money, it would probably not be difficult.
Jia Zheng had more on his mind.
At this moment, Jia Zheng is like the frustrated Li Bai, who suddenly stepped into the temple, intending to display his ambitions and ideals. He also wanted to display his talents and knowledge and do something earth-shattering.
No
As for letting yourself waste time and lamenting your old age.
In the next few days, Jia Zheng sat in a sedan chair and traveled with everyone during the day. At night, he stayed at a nearby post station to rest and replenish supplies. In just a few days, he arrived at the place to take office.
On this day, a group of them arrived in the province where they were serving. They first went to see their superiors, and then they were warmly received by their superiors. They arranged things to be done. They were immediately appointed and given an official seal, which was to let Jia Zheng Responsible for checking the grain and rice warehouses in various prefectures and counties.
Jia Zheng didn't know what was going on, and he didn't know exactly how deep the water was.
The grain and rice warehouses in this province have been emptied out for a long time. All the grain and rice in the official warehouses were taken out and sold, thereby lining their own pockets and making a fortune.
The past few years have been bad, and the outside world's demand for food has suddenly increased.
Not only that, the news that Emperor Yongtai was about to launch an attack on Mobei had been spread by people in the capital, causing the price of grain and rice around the capital to fluctuate violently and rise across the board. The profit margins were extremely considerable, and from the grain and rice warehouse Selling food inside is a business with no capital and huge profit.
The grain in the grain and rice warehouse is the imperial grain collected by the imperial court from ordinary people to prepare for things like disasters and famines.
Ancient people had a deep obsession with farming and food.
Food is the most important thing for the people, especially for this suffering nation, food is a hard currency that all dynasties have attached great importance to.
Reading history books, dynasties in the past have made great efforts in this regard.
Regarding the matter of the grain and rice warehouse, as superior officials, they naturally knew what the people below were doing.
In fact, these people also received a lot of filial piety money.
Therefore, Shangguan asked Jia Zheng to inspect the grain and rice warehouses in order to silence everyone.
Even if something really goes wrong, the responsibility can be shied away and the Rajya Sabha is thrown into the water.
Shangguan also knew Jia Zheng's identity and background.
Precisely because Shangguan knew the energy behind Jia Zheng, he asked Jia Zheng to do this.
Jia Zheng had always been a Beijing official, and his position was idle, and he did not have much authority or anything to do.
That is to say, a Qingshui Yamen, sitting on the bench every day, reading books, reading newspapers and periodicals in the official residence, drinking tea and other things. An official position that is spent leisurely is not a real official position. .net
If we talk about the power contained in the position, calculated according to the formula of the power contained in the position, I am afraid that the power contained in Jia Zheng's position is close to none.
Therefore, Jia Zheng didn't have much ability. He just knew that the doctor's affairs were all a matter of Jing'er. Even if a foreigner came to this province, he was originally just a poor student in politics and had to deal with things like government affairs. , I can’t get involved, but I feel a lot more relaxed, and I don’t need to take on much responsibility or do things that offend others.
Although he is the father-in-law of the country, he is only in name and has no real power.
When he first arrived, Jia Zheng followed the trend and followed the trend.
