The Red Mansions

Chapter 238 At that time... Bridge to Bridge, Road to Road!

In the flower hall——

After listening to Dong Qian's description of the situation of the Wucheng Bingma Division, Jia Heng nodded, looked at Xie Zaiyi, and said, "Wucheng Bingma Division, since the branch city was established, tried it out in Dongcheng. Has the public security situation improved?"

Xie Zaiyi said: "The police patrol station has basically completed its preparations. As your lord said, there are police booths in one arrow and three shifts on duty. It's just that there are many brothers who cry out for being tired."

The patrol station is of course the police patrol system that Jia Heng mentioned earlier, in fact, it also exists in this era, but it is unprecedented that there are so many guard boxes like Jia Heng.

"Five Cities Soldiers and Horses are planning to pay night shift allowances. Although the money is not much, it can be regarded as a kind of appeasement. You should let the wind out first." Jia Heng smiled and said: "At the same time, Dongcheng will pay taxes on shops, Lijin and the Jingzhao government office will be divided, and I will try to set up several new types of fire tax and security tax to find more income for the government office."

In this era, there is no such thing as "statutory taxation". Part of the tax money of the West City must be intercepted and given to the Wucheng Bingma Division, so as not to be allocated from the Ministry of Households.

As for the damage to the business environment, it is not so serious. The West Market is very expensive, and the business tax in this era is not high, which is almost the same as nothing.

Xie Zaiyi said: "If this is the case, I will know it in my heart."

Jia Heng looked at Cai Quan again, and asked, "Have the two camps of Shenshu and Shenji returned to camp?"

Cai Quandao: "It was transferred back to the camp three days ago. There are now 3000 people in one of the fifth military battalions. Lu Qian asked the day before yesterday that the East City has been closed, when will it be transferred back to the camp?"

For more than a month, the Guoyong camp played the roles of security guards and water transport laborers. Che Zheng and Lu He were quite critical.

The main thing is to cooperate with Jinyi Mansion's actions, and the advantage is that there is nothing left.

Because the Jinyi Mansion has been watching, and the silver rewards such as the precedent of Cuihua Mountain are also missing, the two of them have not heard any news of meritorious service from the Ministry of War, so they naturally have some thoughts.

Jia Heng said: "Don't be busy, wait a minute, I'm going to Jinyi Mansion, count the property, and sell it at a discount. The war in the north has just stopped, and everyone in Beijing is staring at this money, which is used for compensation. In the past two days, there are almost hundreds of letters left in the memorial, and I can't delay it any longer."

When everyone heard the words, their faces moved slightly.

Jia Heng then looked at Qu Lang, and asked, "Deputy Qu Qianhu, ask Nanzhen Fusi to watch over him. I'll see who else dares to leak the secret this time!"

Qu Lang's complexion changed, and he said in a deep voice: "My lord, since the last rectification, everyone in the government office has been vigilant, and there is no one who dares to leak the secret."

However, after the last court meeting, Jia Heng learned from Chen Port, the censor of Jiangnan Road, that during the process of copying and checking, a accountant of the Jinyi Mansion leaked the secret.

First, Jia Heng came to change the topic, and second, he made a big fuss and took the opportunity to rectify.

Otherwise, in terms of leaking news, the Five Cities Bingma Division, Jinyi Mansion, and the Beijing Camp will cooperate with each other, and it will be impossible to hide it.

After returning home, Jia Heng immediately mobilized Nanzhen Fusi to arrest and interrogate people. In the end, he didn't know whether there was really no mastermind, or the accountant, who saw that the matter was getting worse, and he was deadly, that is to say, he leaked it out of carelessness. .

After Emperor Chongping heard about this matter, he was also quite annoyed, and even asked Dai Quan to send a father-in-law from the inner factory to rectify Jinyi Mansion, and since then everyone has been punished.

Qu Lang said: "However, my lord, these treasures have been piled up in Jinyi Mansion, and it is not a long-term solution. What is the palace thinking about this money? Now people in the mansion are not at ease. In the past two days, there have been many Came here to inquire."

The Jinyi Mansion is also a person, and it also has family members. Some officials entrusted someone to ask for the money.

It can be said that this extravagant wealth has touched the hearts of all civil and military officials in Shenjing.

Jia Heng said: "There are still a lot of land and shops that are too urgent to sell. However, the gold, silver, jewelry and cash have all been verified. There are about 900 million taels of silver. Let's wait for the discussion."

He is not good at arbitrarily discussing how to divide this money, otherwise, it is not a joke to be stared at by a group of officials who "see money".

It is still a game between the emperor and the officials.

Jia Heng said: "Let's go to Jinyi Mansion and dispose of the remaining farms and shops. When the money is ready, I will go out to Beijing to suppress the bandits. Bandits and bandits are rampant in the three auxiliary areas of the capital. .”

Because there is still a lot of profit generated by the farm shop, which is considered a good industry, and Jia Heng didn't want to rush to sell it, so it has been suppressed until now.

Qu Lang said: "My lord, then go to the Jinyi Mansion now?"

Jia Heng smiled and said: "I have called Mr. Fan, let's go together."

Then he looked at Cai Quan and said, "Brother Cai, half a month ago, I asked you to collect all the information about bandits in Sanfu, Gyeonggi."

Because Emperor Chongping had previously said that he would use the matter of suppressing the bandits to promote the Guoyong Camp, so Jia Heng followed Cai Quan and sent people to Weinan, Huayin, and Wugong counties half a month ago to collect information about the bandits.

Cai Quan also suppressed the smile on his face, and said: "I have collected it, and I am going to present it to your lord."

As he spoke, he took a leather bag from the small table beside him, and took out a book from it.

Cai Quan handed it over and said: "It records their scope of activities, some deeds, and the distribution of their personnel, but the accuracy varies. Our people can't spy too many details."

The scouts of the Beijing camp were going to do detailed operations, and their professionalism was greatly reduced. They could only collect some "open source" information.

Jia Heng took the book and flipped through it, his brows gradually furrowed.

If you don’t count, you don’t know. Once you count, you will be shocked.

In Weinan, Huayin, and Wugong counties, there are five gangs of thieves entrenched, and even further away in Jingyang and Liyang, there are also thieves raging. million people.

"Floods and droughts are not harvested, thieves and thieves are rampant, and officers and soldiers are suppressing and arresting them. These are all the original words of "Dream of Red Mansions". The three auxiliary thieves and bandits will not be suppressed. This is not scabies. Looking at the map records on it, Jia Heng could almost predict the scene. Ten years after Chen Han, bandits and captives broke out together, and the building would collapse.

"To fight against the outside world, the inside must be settled first!" Jia Heng thought of this, raised his head, looked at Cai Quan, and said in a deep voice: "I will ask the Jinyi Mansion for assistance in this matter when I enter the palace to present matters."

Although he has the Son of Heaven Sword in his hand, he seems to be able to dispatch the Jinyi Mansion to assist him, but this kind of dispatch is not well-known, and his words are not correct, and he kept hinting to Emperor Chongping that if he couldn't say it, he just ordered, Ziyu, You take care of Jinyi Mansion first.

Qu Lang obviously didn't see Jia Heng's intentions, and then said: "My lord, the Jinyi Mansion's intelligence force has been greatly weakened when it leaves Shenjing, especially the counties and towns. It's not easy."

Jia Heng said: "I know this, so this is also an attempt. Sun Tzu's Art of War says that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. I have observed recently that all the troops in the Beijing camp do not pay much attention to spying and collecting military information. Now they can only rely on Jinyi Mansion, and Jinyi Mansion Don't be intimidated, and in the future, not only these thieves, but also the eastern captives will be dispatched more carefully."

In his "preliminary drafting of the Department of Economics, Strategy and Appeasement System" in his study, he proposed to set up a military intelligence department under the Department of Economics, Strategy and Appeasement to spy on and collect information about the enemy.

The military intelligence department and the Jinyi Mansion have built a horizontal and vertical intelligence network, which goes hand in hand.

Qu Lang couldn't help thinking of Lan Qianhu who was recalled from Jiangxi a month ago, and seemed to be sent to Peiping first by the lord in front of him, and he had a clear understanding.

Jia Heng put down the booklet and said: "Suppress Kouyi, let's come here first, and wait until I have a face-to-face meeting in the afternoon, and then I will make a fuss about it."

While the few people were talking, a servant came to report, and Fan Yi came from Liutiao'er Alley.

Fan Yi was dressed in a stone blue scholar's shirt, leaning on a cane, supported by a young servant, entered the flower hall, smiled, and said: "Your Excellency has been waiting for a long time."

"Mr. Fan, I'm just waiting for you. We are going to Jinyi Mansion." Jia Heng smiled and said.

Fan Yi looked at Jia Heng, hesitated to speak, and finally said: "My lord, let's start now."

Jia Heng nodded, knowing that Fan Yi had something to say, he kept his voice down, looked at Qu Lang, Xie Zaiyi, Cai Quan and others beside him, and said softly, "Deputy Qu Qianhu, let's go."

Everyone left Ningguo Mansion, those who rode horses rode horses, those who sat in carriages got in carriages, and then headed towards Jinyi Mansion.

on the carriage
Jia Heng looked at Fan Yi who was sitting opposite, smiled, and said, "Mr. Fan, did you seem to have something to say just now?"

Fan Yi hesitated for a while, sighed, and said: "Your Excellency is aware of the details, the student has something to say just now, and that is to resign from the post of Chief Secretary of the Five Cities Army and Horse Division."

The smile on Jia Heng's face faded slightly, and he said softly: "Sir, why is this? During this period of time, sir, he has handled official documents and praised him from everyone."

Fan Yi smiled wryly, and said: "It's inconvenient for a certain person to go in and out of the government now, and I'm afraid I'll insult your lord."

Jia Heng heard the words and said: "Mr. Fan, but some villains are slandering behind their backs, sir told me it was."

Speaking of the last, the voice was a bit cold.

Fan Yi shook her head, and said: "Your Excellency mentioned some soldiers and horses in the five cities, and everyone respects them. In the presence of your lord's prestige, no one has ever spoken ill of Fan Mou, but it is inconvenient for Fan Mou to hold this crippled body."

Jia Heng's expression was silent for a while, he actually understood Fan Yi's thoughts.

It should be that he dragged his lame leg, went to and from the government office, and received strange looks from some people.

Jia Heng looked at Fan Yi calmly, and said seriously: "Mr. Fan, your leg was broken by Liu You. Although Liu You has already obeyed the law, how many people in the Wucheng Army and Horse Division have learned the lesson, sir?" Temporarily replacing him is to warn the officers and generals of the five cities. Whoever dares to run amok will be like the story of Liu You! Besides, the gentleman always has to do things, and he really forbears to bury his talents? You will only be in awe when you make great achievements, how dare you underestimate him?"

Fan Yi's complexion changed upon hearing this, and she said, "I would like to be taught."

Jia Heng said: "Nowadays, the restructuring of the department is complicated, and it is precisely the need for Mr. to deal with the text, which cannot be separated from Mr. for a moment."

What he thought about before was to hire Song Yuan as a meritorious Cao, and the original meritorious Cao Mengchang was transferred to someone else, but he hadn't had time to find Song Yuan to mention this matter.

Now, there is a shortage of clerks. If Fan Yi leaves, he will have to deal with some tedious documents.

Fan Yi sighed and said: "Since the adults are trustworthy, the students are reluctant."

Jia Heng smiled and said: "Mr. Fan, if you have relatives at home after you have been in the capital for a few years, you can send someone to pick them up. In a few days, I will buy a batch of houses, so that you will not let your husband live in Liutiaoer Hutong."

Fan Yi sighed, and said: "Thank you for your concern, sir. I went to write a letter the day before yesterday. Fortunately, everything is fine at home. It is difficult for my parents to leave their homeland. I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to go to the capital. As for my wife, I will pick them up in the spring of next year."

Fan Yi came to Shenjing from Xiangyang Mansion, Hubei Province to rush for the exam. After going there for two or three years, she had a wife and parents at home, but there was no news. She even thought that something happened to Fan Yi, and she was ecstatic when she got the letter.

Jia Heng nodded and said nothing else.

Although Fan Yi has the taint of being a thief, it is precisely this kind of person who is most determined.

The carriage rattled and turned, and after traveling for about half an hour, it arrived in front of the official office of Jinyi Mansion.

Jinyi Mansion, official office
After hearing the news, Lu Jingyao, Ji Yingtian, the commander of the Jinyi Mansion, and several thousand households came out of the Yimen to welcome them. Lu Jingyao's face was indifferent, but Ji Yingtian had a faint smile on his face.

Ji Yingtian said with a smile: "Lao Lu, Master Jia must have come to inquire about this batch of property. Speaking of which, in the past few days, people from the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Imperial Academy have all come to inquire. When was it so lively in the big prison?"

Lu Jingyao said coldly: "Ji Tongzhi, the Wei Mansion just checked the leak not long ago, this silver is an ingot, Master Ji must take good care of it."

Xindao, you are now licking other people's buttocks, and they have not recommended you to be a commander.

Damn, whoever made fun of the little eunuch back then is making such a flattering face now.

The shame of brocade clothes!
Because of the copying and inspection of the property of the Sanhe Gang, Ji Yingtian followed him back and forth, and led a group of Jinyi Guards. The custodians had more than 1000 million taels of property, and they were already far ahead in the competition for the position of the official of the Jinyi Mansion.

On the other hand, Lu Jingyao was first reprimanded by Jia Heng on the spot. Although he saved some negative images by relying on his diligence and official duties, if there is no accident, he basically has no hope of being a commander.

Ji Yingtian smiled and ignored Lu Jingyao's complicated thoughts.

A few days ago, others didn't know about the leak, so didn't he know about it?
It was this old Lu who secretly instructed him to stand aside, but in the end, the young dignitary directly transferred the people from Nanzhen Fusi to arrest and interrogate him.

"Then Jia Hengjian is in the emperor's heart. I will flatter you first and secure my position. After that... the future will be long."

The smile on Ji Yingtian's face gradually faded away, and the sneer on the corner of his mouth was a bit secretive.

Everyone was waiting, when a captain in Jinyi shouted: "My lord, Mr. Jia is here."

All the guards in Jinyi looked solemn, and greeted each other respectfully.

Seeing this scene, Lu Jingyao felt uncomfortable.

It can be said that as long as Jia Heng is still equipped with the Tianzi Sword, and the task of suppressing the Sanhe Gang has not been completely completed, they, the Tianzi Yinggou, will be ordered by others.

"Fortunately, after disposing of this batch of goods, Jia Heng has no reason to control Jinyi. At that time... Bridges return to bridges, roads return to roads!"

Thinking of this, he heard a loud voice from the gate, "Lord Jia is here!"

Hearing this, Lu Jingyao couldn't help but change his face. Following the voices from beside him, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty has seen Jia Yunhui."
