When he gathered his personal guards and went to the imperial city together, he learned the reason for entering the palace from the servant. It turned out that the food had arrived at Dayan...

It was half a day later than he expected...

Chapter 778 Peach Picking

Imperial City, Daming Palace.

Clean up the door.

Jia Qiang was brought here by her servants. Apart from Emperor Long'an and several ministers of military affairs, there were also important ministers such as Da Zong Ling Zhongshun of the Clan Mansion, Six Ministers, Dali Temple Minister and so on.

After seeing Jia Qiang coming in, many princes and ministers looked at him with different eyes.

But the atmosphere in the hall really doesn't look like a celebration...

After seeing the ceremony, Emperor Long'an said indifferently: "Jia Qiang, someone impeached you, used evil ways to confuse the country's policies, and invited people to buy people's hearts. It also made Fanbang, a small country, despise Dayan and forget righteousness with small gains. The crime is not light. What do you say?"

Jia Qiang smiled wryly when she heard the words, and said: "When I was young, I read and heard that corrupt Confucianism was harmful to the country. I thought this kind of stuff was far away from me, but I didn't expect it to emerge in endlessly."

"Marquis Ning, I have something to discuss. Since the emperor doesn't want to allow you to defend yourself, you should defend yourself in a proper manner. You only hear about corrupt scholars harming the country, but how can you hear about evil spirits harming the country?"

The one who spoke was Cai Wen, the newly promoted minister of the Ministry of Rites, who is also one of the most famous Confucian scholars in the world.

This kind of people has their own views on politics, even the Emperor Long'an can't shake the spirit in their hearts, let alone Jia Qiang?

Still looking at Lin Ruhai's face, Cai Wencai did not directly quote the scriptures to crucify Jia Qiang.

Jia Qiang looked at Cai Wen, puzzled for a while, then cupped her hands and said, "I don't know if your Excellency is..."

"..."

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, all the monarchs and ministers looked strange.

Seeing Cai Wen's face suddenly gloomy, Jia Qiang cupped her hands again and said, "Don't get me wrong, this Marquis has never been to court, so I don't know your lord. You can just pretend that I am ignorant."

Lin Ruhai turned around and said calmly, "This is the new minister of the Ministry of Rites, Cai Wenbo Angong."

Jia Qiang bowed in the direction of Lin Ruhai to show her understanding, and then asked Cai Wendao: "The court implemented the new policy, which coincided with the change of weather in the past two years. I have been favored by the emperor, so I tried every means to get some food back, even if it is not considered credit. , can’t be regarded as a disaster? Why do you put on one hat after another?”

Cai Wen shook his head and said: "Ninghou don't need to quibble. Although you are young, you have a very high mind, so why bother to ask? I heard that Ninghou wanted to go overseas to expand the territory and coveted the fertile land of Nanyang. Today Using grain and rice as bait to lure people's hearts. Your plan to hide the sky and cross the sea is so big that it is shocking. At this moment, why do you pretend to be stupid?"

Above the court, there are indeed people with high wisdom and scheming.

Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "Master Cai said that the Marquis is coveting the countries in Southeast Asia. Yes, you are right. But what has this to do with the grain? This grain was bought by the Ministry of Internal Affairs with real money. Come..."

"How dare you make excuses!"

Before Jia Qiang could finish speaking, Cai Wen shouted sternly: "Is that the real money from your House of Internal Affairs? In the name of an unfounded bank, it is rare in the history to search for the strongmen in the south of the Yangtze River! With the silver of harsh merchants, threaten Is the food sold by a small country in a friendly country pure food? It is dirty and low-grown food that smells like copper! A man of lofty ideals will not drink water from a stolen spring, and an honest man will not be fed food from a cheap source. Lin Ruhai hasn’t even taught you these two words?”

Jia Qiang's face was ugly, and she frowned and said, "What do you mean by filthy and dirty food that smells like copper? Your old master is living on the imperial salary, living in an official house granted by the imperial court, and you don't even have to pay taxes on the land in your hometown. The whole family is frozen. If you don’t need to be hungry, if you have Lumi issued by the imperial court, you don’t need to eat food bought by merchants. But you can go to Shandong to see the victims of the disaster, go to Gansu to see the victims of the disaster, and there are countless people who can’t eat enough! You Can you decide for them and not buy rice sold by grain merchants?

Mr. Cai, if you can donate the food in your bowl to them, and donate your clothes and house to them, then the Marquis will think that your ambition is noble.can you do itcan't do it.Even if you are a saint in the world, how many people can you save if you donate everything?Why do you deprive the people of their right to live? "

Cai Wen shouted in a deep voice: "Don't be a fool, the disaster in Shandong and Gansu, the imperial court has its own relief, why has this official deprived them of the right to live?"

Jia Qiang laughed angrily and said, "We have been saved this year, what about next year? What if next year there is not only a severe drought in these two provinces, but two more provinces?"

In his previous life, the era when he lived was already very enlightened, but he had also seen from film and television books and materials how much resistance he encountered at the beginning of the reform and opening up.

How many people would rather stay poor and watch the people starve to death, but insist on their principles.

But what you see in books and movies is always separated by a layer, and it’s just ridiculous for a while. When you encounter it in person, you can intuitively feel that what is ridiculous is clearly hateful!

Sure enough, Cai Wen did not live up to his "expectation", and said coldly: "If there is another severe drought, the imperial court has its own countermeasures, and the household department should prepare food reserves, but it is not something that you, a nobleman, should intervene in. It is not in his position But to plan their own government, involving foreign countries, disrespecting the official documents of the Ministry, arbitrarily making decisions, and arrogating themselves! If everyone behaved like you, the court would not be in chaos? You make decisions for your own selfishness, how dare you say more? "

Jia Qiang frowned and said, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has the right to act externally. This trip is purely for commercial purchases and does not involve diplomatic relations between the two countries. What is your Ministry of Rites doing?"

Cai Wen sneered, but stopped talking to the ignorant boy, and cupped his hands to Emperor Long'an, saying: "Your Majesty, I am not a pedantic person, and I stand up for the New Deal. I know that the court is short of food, and it is also a difficulty for the court, but what is the fate of the dynasty?" Can it be controlled by Li Zi? The Ministry of Internal Affairs can no longer be controlled by such absurd people! What Ning Hou Jia Qiang did may solve a temporary distress, but if it is highly praised, the ruling and opposition parties will definitely think that if they can easily buy food from overseas , Earn gold and silver, why do the New Deal?

When people's hearts are in turmoil, the great situation that the New Deal will spread out is bound to be destroyed!How can such opportunistic strategies come to the fore?Who knows, Ning Hou is focused on attacking overseas, trying to strengthen the country by means of plunder.His heart may be good, but it is too frivolous and absurd, and it is not in line with the saint's way of governing the country based on benevolence!Your Majesty, you must never be fooled by the benefits in front of you. "

This remark caused many people to nod their heads in agreement.

Jia Qiang twitched the corners of her mouth for a while, but before he could speak, Lin Ruhai said with a faint smile: "Stones from other mountains can also be used to attack jade. Mr. Cai has no trust in the emperor and our military aircraft. The small profit in front of me... ...In fact, it is not considered a small profit. Of course, even if it is grain and rice that can solve the country's difficulties, it cannot change the imperial court's new policy plan. What is the root of the new policy? It is nothing more than the word "government of officials". Moving back some grain and rice means moving back to an inexhaustible gold mountain, and the court will only become poorer and poorer, and the people will only become more and more difficult.

On this point, the emperor and the Military Aircraft Department have a consensus.Therefore, the emperor and the Military Aircraft Department had no intention of commending Jia Qiang's behavior.Even the common people and ordinary officials knew that Jia Qiang got the food, so very few of them knew. "

To Shang Lin Ruhai, Cai Wen was more respectful, but he still refused to budge: "Mr. Lin, you are in charge of the household department. How dare you ask Mr. Lin, how can the court's life-saving food be entrusted to the hands of merchants? Jia Qiang acted Before, have you ever played in the imperial court?"

Before Lin Ruhai could speak, Jia Qiang suddenly smiled and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if the court doesn't want it. Mr. Cai may have made a mistake. The grain and rice brought back are not given to the court for free, but sold to the court. The shares of the Bank of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were sold for more than 2000 million taels of silver, not for doing good deeds, but because the bank was worth the price and wanted to make more money than this.

The grain and rice business is its first business.Even if the court wants it, it will still give money.Ben Hou said that this is a purely commercial matter.

Since Mr. Cai thinks that honest people will not be eaten by cheap ones, that's good.When these grains come back, they are cooked into wine and sold, not to mention ten times the profit, there will always be five times the profit.With this alone, the emperor can become the world's richest man, and the clan, honored ministers, and those big households in the south of the Yangtze River who buy bank stocks can get a lot of dividends in the first year.

Master Cai, they will appreciate you. "

After all, Jia Qiang said to Emperor Long'an: "Your Majesty, I have obtained the emperor's order earlier on the affairs of the bank of the House of Internal Affairs, and I am fully responsible for it. And the House of Internal Affairs has the right to purchase overseas. Are you not talking nonsense?"

Emperor Long'an nodded, and Jia Qiang said with a smile: "Since the minister is not acting arbitrarily and is within the authority of the minister, it will be easy to handle. I don't want to use this matter to disrupt the court's morals. That's right, so I'm not going to sell it. I immediately sent a manpower of [-] miles to rush to tell the nine families in the south of the Yangtze River that the remaining grain was not bought, and the rest of the food was for making money. There is no need to cause so much trouble because of it. I dare not disturb the hearts of the New Deal because of this.

Your Majesty, I will retire. "

Emperor Long'an looked at Jia Qiang for a while, then raised his chin slightly, Jia Qiang turned and left without looking at Cai Wen and the others whose complexion changed suddenly because he lifted the table.

"Jia Qiang, wait a minute!"

Zhang Gu, Zuo Xiang and others were a little weaker in nourishing Qi, they couldn't stand up and shouted.

The main reason is that Jia Qiang has always acted without rules at all, and she can do whatever she wants.

Sure enough, eight hundred miles were sent to expedite the return of the food, and there was no place for them to cry.

It's just that they just stood by and let Cai Wen attack with rhythm, now Jia Qiang treats them as a bird!

After Jia Qiang strode away, Zhang Gu rushed out and clapped his hands and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, how can this food be refunded? Right now the imperial court is in urgent need of food and rice, this is life-saving food!!"

Emperor Long'an frowned and said: "But what Cai Qing and others said is also reasonable. There are also many criticisms from the court officials. Let's discuss this matter again."

After finishing speaking, Emperor Long'an got up and left.
