After a trip, not only the states and counties near the border were replaced with reliable people, but also the manpower for repairing many city walls was expanded. For Shengyuan, this can be considered a full harvest.
But for those prominent families in Fucheng, it was hard to explain.
"Brother, my clan doesn't have many bodyguards, but a governor of hers collected 50% of them when she passed by!" Jia Ren, the head of the small Jia family, ran to Jia Yang, the head of the big Jia family, and complained.
Before Jia Yang could speak, a girl's sneer came from outside the door.
Jia Min, who looked unhappy, was about to scold him, but found that it was Jia Yang's only daughter Jia Sang who was laughing at him.
Suddenly, the angry words rolled around on the tip of his tongue, and then fell steadily back into his stomach.
People outside said that his cousin had long disliked this daughter, but he didn't believe it.
Even if it were him, no matter how angry he was, he couldn't really ignore his only flesh and blood.
Thinking that his son would be adopted by his cousin to inherit the family's property, Jia Min ignored all Jia Shang's provocations and ridicules.
"My eldest niece, do you have time to see your father today?" Jia Ren joked with a loving look on his face.
Compared with Jia Yang, who has a serious expression, he looks like Jia Shang's biological father.
It's a pity that Jia Shang doesn't buy his account.
"My niece was very puzzled when she heard that the master of the mansion had hired many of your servants to protect you, so she came over to take a look."
Jia Shang's joking and blunt words made Jia Min's expression almost crack when he heard it.
Go to the big Jia family's house to watch the little Jia family's jokes? !
Fortunately she could tell it!
Jia Shang doesn't care if Jia Mingao is unhappy, she only cares about her own happiness now.
"Uncle, my niece is not talking about you. You said that the prince of the palace is out for inspection on a routine basis. How can you, a noble family, send people to follow behind without permission? It seems that you are afraid that others will not know, so you send out those huge troops! This What I know is that you want to inquire about the situation, but what you don’t know is that you thought our Lord Fu led an army to attack Nurhan!"
Jia Shang laughed happily: "Now, okay? Not only were the people who followed us used as laborers, but Shengfu Yin also used this as a stepping stone to transfer a lot of your bodyguards, right? Dad, Your family often sends people to the city wall, right?"
At the end of the story, she stared at her biological father happily, and when she spoke, she made him angry.
With Jia Yang in control, Jia Min's dissatisfaction slowly subsided.
"The eight surnames and twelve families of Shou'an City originally existed to stabilize the city. Now the governor gives everyone the opportunity to protect the city. This is an honor given by the court and an opportunity for us to contribute to the city. This is a good thing! Two Jia I can only be grateful.
Not to mention that the Lord of the Palace only transferred half of the manpower, even if he lost all of them, that would be fine! "
"Are you serious?" Jia Shang seemed to be laughing when he heard this.
Jia Yang lowered his eyes and snorted. Jia Min next to him saw this and rolled his eyes. Instead of feeling distressed before, he smiled and nodded and said, "After all, a city is still a city with eight surnames and twelve families! As the saying goes Well done, the eight surnames who are made of iron and the governor who is flowing with water, let us build a city wall for ourselves, how can we be depressed?"
He spoke righteously, as if he was not the one who complained and made small talk to Jia Yang before. Such acting skills made Jia Chang lose his contempt.
"If that's the case, then dad and cousin, please allocate half of the manpower to go over!"
Jia Min's eyes widened when he heard this: "..."
He understood, this girl didn't come here specifically to see his joke, she clearly came here to use his uncle as a stepping stone!
Thinking of this, he suddenly looked at his silent cousin.
Seeing that his cousin was so angry that his beard was trembling, Jia Min breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that my cousin and this girl didn't have a plan.
Thinking of this, Jia Min had an idea and immediately shouted angrily: "I asked you, why did you get out of the government office so quickly? The governor seemed to have just shut you up and sent you out of the government office with great courtesy. , it turns out that you have already taken refuge in her!"
"It is the duty of the people of the city to cooperate with the government's arrangements! Why should my cousin be so mean to his niece?"
Seeing that Jia Min was still trying to argue, Jia Sang immediately put her hands on her hands and said with a smile: "I tell you, uncle, don't fight for the advantage of words. After all, the internal guards are waiting outside in the cold for you to make up your mind. If you are not happy, then my niece Shall I invite someone to come in and persuade me?"
When he heard the word "inner guard", Jia Yang and Jia Ning's expression suddenly changed.
If the inner defender is involved in a simple matter, it will definitely become more complicated!
