Honglouchun

Under the illumination of candlelight and moonlight, the glazed tiles exude a faint bright yellow luster, reminiscent of a heavenly palace.

Under the guidance of the servant, Jia Qiang went through many palace gates all the way to Fengzao Palace, and bowed down.

However, he was not called at the first time...

After a long while, there was a cold snort from above, and Emperor Long'an said in a deep voice, "Jia Qiang, I ask you, are you blackmailing me, or are you not interested in taking over the business of the House of Internal Affairs? This request, you ask yourself, do you punish your heart or not?"

Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't want to take over at first, and even my husband had reservations about it. The Bank of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has come to this point, except for a large number of officials who boasted about the old-fashioned way, there is almost no one. With progress, the reputation that had been hard-won before was smashed upside down. It would be difficult even if the gods of Daluo descended to earth. In addition, in the Hall of Mental Cultivation earlier, the monarch and ministers had set the tone, and the money and affairs had nothing to do with the ministers.

It was Ke and the king of the county, seeing that the four princes were really struggling, and seeing that the imperial family had ordered the court to sue the pleadings to the Jiuhua Palace, implicating the empress, and worried that the emperor would have a headache in the future, so they deceived the ministers to the palace, threatened and lured, and burst into tears , appalling...

The minister was really helpless, so he agreed to the matter. "

Yin Hou glanced at Li Xuan, who was complacent, and smiled while sitting on the phoenix couch: "It's good if you have such a heart. However, this matter is very difficult. Although King Kerong is diligent in his duties, he is also very smart. It's just that you don't have the means of a golden boy of good fortune. You act according to the rules and solve the emperor's worries and problems, so that the emperor loves you in every way and treats you like a nephew. How dare you make those three requests that should not be made? To embarrass the emperor?"

Jia Qiang said wrongly: "Madam, I don't know how much energy I will spend on this matter, and I don't know how many places need to be supported by the emperor. How can I make things difficult for the emperor? Don't you know, it is really just for a moment. , even if the emperor agrees right now, he can't change one will later on?

In fact, these three requirements are all related to whether the bank can be built, whether it can be done well, and whether it can really make Tianjia have a golden chicken that can lay golden eggs for generations!

If the court can approve these three points, the minister will be sure to complete the matter.The court refused, and the minister suggested that the bank should be abandoned altogether.Otherwise, the more you do it, the more serious the damage to the Tian family's reputation will be in the future, and the minister will become a real sinner! "

Seeing that what he said was not firm and there was no room for bargaining, Emperor Long'an frowned and said, "I can understand the first and second points, but the third point...the royal bank is not in the capital but in Yangzhou. Which royal family is this?" Bank?"

Jia Qiang twitched the corners of her mouth, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I did not place the head office of the bank in Yangzhou to guard against the Tian family. On the contrary, I did it to protect the interests of the Tian family. Otherwise, the Tian family is the major shareholder of the bank. , once the court is short of money, the courtiers will definitely do everything possible to force the emperor to transfer money from the bank. In this way, the foundation of the bank will definitely be damaged, and good things will turn into bad things. This kind of thing is not speculative with the heart of a villain I believe the emperor and empress also know that such things will definitely happen.

Let the cat sleep with a fish on its pillow, how can it bear it when it is hungry? "

Empress Yin said with a smile: "That can't be placed in Yangzhou. You are so deeply involved in Yangzhou. Would it be good for you to put the bank there? Although you are young, you should understand the word "fearful". "

Jia Qiang frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Then put it in Jinling, the emperor can send people from the household department, Yushitai, Xiuyiwei, and CRRC mansion to monitor, as long as it doesn't interfere with normal operations, the stricter it is." The better. But you can’t go any further north. I really can’t trust the virtues of court officials. Your Majesty, if someone asks you what you’re proud of in this life when you’re old, the answer you’ll give will definitely not be killing Khan. To counteract rebellion. It’s sea transportation, and banks! Killing people is not a big deal, but opening the sea and banks is something that can benefit hundreds of millions of people and strengthen the country’s destiny for Great Yan.”

When Emperor Long'an heard the words, he raised his head and pinched the center of his brows, feeling a little headache because he couldn't quite understand what hysteria this bastard was talking about...

That's all, let's appease the clan and Xunchen first, so it's not good to delay it any longer.

"Sure! Let's set it in Jinling. Jia Qiang, be careful..."

Emperor Long'an gave his permission, and unexpectedly he really gave his permission. Jia Qiang didn't even listen to his warning words carefully, and his heart was filled with ecstasy.

However, on the surface, he still maintains a respectful and calm expression, and will not let Emperor Long'an and Li Shi see anything.

But after Xie En got up, Jia Qiang looked up, and saw Yin Houguo's beautiful face, with a pair of bright eyes sizing him up with a half-smile, as if she saw something...

……

On winter nights in early spring, the capital is still a bit cold.

The Grand View Garden is quiet and quiet, and the wives who keep watch all over the place are lit with lights.

In the upper room of Hengwuyuan, Baochai is under the lamp, quietly doing female red, which is a set of baby clothes.

Ying'er was combing the cloth hair aside, and seeing that Baochai made it with great care, with fine and delicate stitches, she praised: "Miss's craftsmanship is much better than the mothers on Xixie Street."

Baochai just smiled when she heard the words, her apricot-like eyes were clear and bright.

Ying'er saw her, and said with a soft smile: "Next year, maybe even a girl can have a brother and a sister, that would be great!"

Baochai's pretty face turned red, she glared at Ying'er, and spat, "Damn girl, what did you say at night? You bumped into someone!"

As soon as the words fell, before Ying'er could speak, she heard a laugh from outside the door, and said: "It's serious to say these things at night, why are you talking nonsense?"

When Ying'er heard the words "Yeah", she said with a smile, "Girl, the Duke is here to see you!"

But Baochai said in embarrassment: "It's so late, how can we meet each other? See you tomorrow! Yinger is not allowed to open the door!"

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a "squeak", and the door opened...

Ying'er looked at Baochai innocently and said, "It's all my fault, girl, you forgot to close the door."

Baochai didn't bother to answer, and saw Jia Qiang entering the room with a smile on her face.

When Baochai saw it, she was startled for a moment, and forgot to chase him away. She wondered, "What's the matter? Why are you so happy?"

Jia Qiang laughed, and after looking at her with the outline of the Baoxiang pattern for a while, she suddenly approached and picked her up, and put her down after twirling around twice amidst exclamations. I am exhausted from the day, and my body and mind are happy, how can I not be happy?"

Ying'er almost laughed out loud, she lowered her head and shivered her shoulders, and went out.

Baochai raised her face slightly, seeing the unconcealable joy in Jia Qiang's eyes, and was also happy for him, so she pursed her lips and smiled.

She likes to see him so happy, rather than bear too much pressure...

Seeing the white and jade-like face, the watery apricot eyes, and the unsmeared red lips, Jia Qiang couldn't help but bowed her head and kissed...

"Hey!"

……

Chapter 9 Baochai: What else do you want to do?

The next morning, it was still dark.

Grand View Garden, Hengwu Garden.

In the upper room, a snow-white catkin was taken off the lampshade and a thin candle was lit.

Inside the green gauze curtain, Jia Qiang leaned on a brocade back, thinking about something and lost in thought.

At this moment, his mind is surprisingly clear and calm...

This is the end of the matter of the bank in the near future, and the rest will be discussed with Qi Taizhong after going south.

He started too fast, and his background is too weak, so it is difficult to achieve great things alone.

The background is still insufficient, and it cannot immediately support a bank that connects the world.

It would be great if I could hold the money of Shanxi merchants in my hands...

But it's not realistic right now, because Shanxi merchants are one of Dayan's three major merchant gangs, and their strength is astonishing.

The rise of Shanxi merchants occurred during the 30 years of the Jingchu Dynasty, and this merchant gang was inextricably linked with Jingchu's old ministers.

Moreover, Shanxi merchants are not as extravagant and useful as Yangzhou salt merchants. The money of Shanxi merchants is either bought into land, or after buying the land, they are burned into silver melons and buried.

In short, these people hold a lot of land in their hands.

Destined to be the hardest-hit group under the Long An New Deal!

Therefore, it is the basis of natural confrontation with Jia Qiang.
