Jia She, Chief Assistant of the Red Chamber

After Cui Yu confided his heart to the two brothers and made a rough development plan, he thought about it and pulled the two brothers together to gather three cobblers to ask his father for advice.

After Taixing Emperor heard about it, he was silent for a while, and made a small suggestion: "If it is really because of poor family, then that's all. You can go to school for free first, and then repay the academy with your own monthly salary after you learn something, or obey the arrangement of the imperial court. Go to a certain place to serve. I am afraid of the kind of scumbag father who really treats his children as objects. This kind of person is the most difficult to deal with. For example, he sells his son and daughter for gambling, and sends his son to be a eunuch. If so, stay in the local area On the contrary, it is not appropriate. If this kind of person sends a girl to school, he must sign a death contract with the imperial court and give him a sum of money. Just like selling a girl, he will have nothing to do with the original family from now on. After the confluence of various places, this group will be sent to the Northeast .First set up a college there. One is to clean it up, and the other is to develop the northeast. That area is really a treasure. Not only is there fertile land, it is said that an iron mine was also discovered?"

"Not only is there iron ore, but also oil was discovered in Daqing." Cui Yu smiled more at the appearance of the latter species: "Now it is more and more possible to test new salt refining methods." Oil once, in " Appeared in Mengxi Bi Tan, most of the records are burning oil to evaporate brine to make table salt.

Knowing that Cui Yu wanted to move the salt government, Emperor Taixing didn't respond to people's joy, but paid more and more attention to the Northeast: "That's not bad, there are fertile fields and resources, and those mountain people who have been educated over the years are not so happy. Be obedient. The first batch of land buyers also tasted the sweetness, but it is more and more able to move some people there on a large scale. And there are also counties over there that are close to the sea. Let’s develop the wharf to link the southward Bohai Sea in Shandong, the southeast coast and other wharves , can develop short-distance sea trade. Moreover, it is also the base camp of Huo Jue's military exploits. You can ask Huo Jue to go to the northeast and have a good chat with Luocha Kingdom. The two sides can trade with each other, but he dares to harass Heilongjiang from time to time. The border, then send troops and destroy it. We have developed the Northeast into a capital. Now the crown prince is also there! If we put more resources there, the Ministry of Households will not withhold money."

Cui Yu nodded when he heard the words: "Father, what you said is also reasonable. Since it is going to develop over there, it is natural to build a good system to make it prosperous. I want to lower the commercial tax first, so that merchants can go first. Not to mention anything else, medicinal materials such as ginseng and deer antler are hard to come by. When they develop, we can apply what Rong'er and the others said, and then we can start slaughtering customers."

"Cough cough cough cough, I said you two can talk about serious business first?" Seeing that the two talked more and more vigorously, deviating from the main point of this meeting, Zhongyi interrupted the beautiful plan of the two emperors: "The plan is very good. It sounds good, but can it be done step by step? The most important thing I still think is that the court has to repair the road, can the official road be spacious and flat?"

Turning his head to look at Cui Yu, Zhongyi couldn't help complaining: "Did you find out that if you go to a remote road, you will vomit if you bump it. I didn't find anything in the capital before, but once I went out, I went all the way. Damn, I lost all majesty in front of my niece. I am not a delicate person, I have also observed it carefully. When the army is in a hurry, whether the official road is smooth or not will also affect the speed."

"Yes!" Upon hearing this topic, Song Xueci also complained: "That's right, before I was only in the inner city, and I didn't feel much. Now I ran around all over the world, only to find that it might be Shibawan who restrained my desire to solve the case. Second brother, it’s okay if you walk on the official road. I’m not allowed to run in the deep mountains and old forests yet, the mountain road has eighteen bends, and sometimes I have to vomit after dinner.”

"That's right!" Taixing Emperor heard this, and followed suit: "We must build roads, build roads, and don't build roads with potholes, especially your cheap son and your cheap nephew."

Emperor Taixing pointed at Zhongyi and Cui Yu, with great resentment and hatred: "Just run around if you have nothing to do, it makes my face covered in ashes."

He went to Kaifeng from Jinling, and returned to Beijing from Kaifeng. He wanted to beat Jia Zhen to death several times on the way.It's fine to take a carriage, and occasionally the old man rides a horse, trying to show that he is old and strong, but dust is flying all over the sky.Because this single seedling used the name of a forward to explore the way, and then rode Feichen.

"You must give me the whole ashes." Emperor Taixing ordered with a rare tough attitude.

"Okay, okay!" Cui Yu was relieved of the matter: "Spacious, flat and dust-free!" The road looks inconspicuous, but it is indeed very important.The inner city is basically bluestone slabs, but once outside the city, most of them are made of rammed earth.Even if there is stone paving, that is very rare.Generally, before the rich and powerful families leave the city, someone will sprinkle water first to prevent dust from flying up.

If a new way to build roads is developed, the time for transmitting information, marching, transporting supplies, etc. can be shortened.Of course, it is also very convenient for ordinary people to travel, especially for caravans.

"Leave this matter to the Ministry of Industry, and it will also increase your in-laws' merits, so that you can enter the cabinet." Zhongyi smiled: "Then let your daughter-in-law come back to take over the Ministry of Industry, so that the wealth will not flow to outsiders."

After Cui Yu listened, he suddenly became enlightened, and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, Second Brother, for your guidance."

"If you really want to thank you, don't hang my husband with a single seedling, and let me stay alone in the empty boudoir. If I'm too busy, I might make trouble." Zhongyi rested his chin on his hands, and said angrily.Don't think he doesn't know why the prince went to the northeast for no reason.Now that the crown prince is clear-headed, he has to wake up his in-laws as well.With the watches mentioned in the previous two small pieces, and the discovery of new roads, the grandfather of the princess can naturally go a step further.Of course, this also binds the interests of the princess's natal family and Jia's family.

If you want to "hello" like this, if you still don't know your mind, don't blame him for trying to change the princess.

Anyway, the prescription is in his hand.

The husband of his family is a powerful doting wife.He thought the road was bumpy, so he started researching it!

Hearing this, Cui Yu burst out laughing and nodded his head.

"Continue to talk about the business, who will pay for the funded training?" Song Xueci noticed that his father was disgraced by the young man's act of showing off his husband, so he hurriedly changed the topic back: "There is basically no profit in the early stage. The noble lady is not a fool, who would do it just for fame?"

"Half from the imperial court," Cui Yu said, "Zongzheng Temple will give out a quarter, and the rest, second sister, you are so capable and beautiful, you must be able to persuade those imperial orders."

Cui Yu flattered her bluntly.

"No, let your daughter-in-law do it first." Emperor Taixing said in a deep voice: "In the blink of an eye, Enhou will be in his first term soon, and his political achievements in this term can be regarded as good, but in the next term he will develop culture and education, and he will also develop What kind of scenery and ancient capitals are a bit of a big step."

"No, Enhou's second step is the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and the repair of official roads." After Cui Yu finished speaking, he was taken aback, his family Enhou had seen it.

"It's indeed the one I like." Emperor Taixing laughed when he heard this, "It's definitely no problem for Marquis En to join the cabinet."

Zhongyi silently suppressed the joke of "Mother Yitianxia" back into his throat, and gave Cui Yu a sympathetic look.If Jia Amnesty wants to join the cabinet, given the current environment, the emperor must not make it public.Even if some old foxes in the court faintly began to speculate.Because once it is made public and the marriage is successful, it must be that Jia Amnesty will be "mothered in the world" and withdraw from officialdom.

Cui Yu also understands the meaning of Zhongyi's eyes floating over, but he is not afraid of it.Anyway, it's great, and he will follow the Zen position, and he will become the "Madam Chief Assistant" at that time.

Therefore, Cui Yu and You Rongyan praised Jia Amnesty a few words, and asked Emperor Taixing if he had any other opinions. They gathered together one or two, and sent someone to recruit a few young people to listen to their suggestions.

Sometimes there may be a collision of ideas, and there will be new ideas.

Jia Lian and Jia Rong were completely horrified: "Why... how could such a cruel thing happen?"

Jia Zhen also didn't understand: "Aren't the daughters of poor families basically sold? How could they be killed?"

Elders: "..."

Emperor Taixing took several juniors directly to the place where the custom of child drowning was the most serious.Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles.

At the same time, Jia Amnesty flipped through the "Save the Baby Girl" plan that was delivered, rolled up his sleeves, and went to work.

First, Jia Amnesty also borrowed the drawing board idea to hold a meeting, tapped the ruler, pointed to the statistically compiled data on the comparison of newborns in Henan, and started educating the prefects and county magistrates under his rule: "Have you seen this ratio? One thousand female infants drowned six hundred, think about it ten years later, 15 years later, all men will be bachelors, they will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law, for us there will be no new population, which means that we will not be able to get promoted and make a fortune in terms of poor political performance. Do you understand?"

Although the magistrates and magistrates were used to Jia Amnesty's straightforward style of painting, they still couldn't bear it.And it's a bit thankless to do this.

"My lord, this folk custom is like this. You can solve these problems if you have no money to raise them or have extravagant marriage customs. But some unruly people really don't listen to them, so they want to have a boy and carry on the family line."

"It's not just troublesome people, sometimes wealthy families also have the problem of chasing boys."

"I didn't let you hit it instantly, and influence it subtly." Jia She said, "I'll tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Look at the royal family. Prince Loyalty has only one daughter, Princess Anle, and King Loyalty is also the only daughter. Think about it. All the close princes are left with only one daughter. You said they will make their daughter wronged, and they will become extinct?"

All the adults looked at Jia She with deep thought.

Jia Amnesty looked inscrutable: "Why do I suddenly want the people to promote equality between men and women? The crown prince only has two daughters now, and the emperor is very dissatisfied with some of the ministers' remarks."

Everyone followed suit and nodded.Got it, they got it.Even if they didn't wink, they wouldn't confront Jia She.After all, now they all know who the previous staff member was.When Jia Amnesty went to the local area, in addition to accumulating political achievements, he also served as a "testing stone" for the emperor's reform.

Seeing this, Jia Amnesty sighed psychologically.Sure enough, it works from top to bottom, and with benefits, everything is different.He thought Cui Yu's plan was pretty good, but he didn't think about it at all. He had to start from within himself.

Although the officials in this yamen did not commit infanticide, some of them were indifferent to this phenomenon.It's like the martial arts around him are superb, knowing this, but because of the general environment, they don't tell him directly because of the obvious.

Only by motivating this group of people can the whole environment be changed.

"After you go back," Jia She pointed out, "Other patriarchal phenomena are based on persuasion. They can be guided to study in women's colleges, but if there are phenomena such as drowning, they must be severely punished. Master Song of Dali Temple has come On the way to Kaifeng, he will send people into all parties to investigate. Therefore, colleagues, you must implement the plan according to your plan. First have a good chat with the officials in your own yamen, and put an end to this phenomenon from the yamen. These People’s close relatives and friends, if they are within three servings, dare to ignore the law and treat people’s lives as worthless, if they don’t stop them after they know about it, they will never be hired. Don’t even think about entering the officialdom within three generations. Then find the patriarchs of various tribes, village chiefs, etc. Let’s talk, it’s very important to intercede. If there is a phenomenon of drowning, dare not persuade it, and don’t report it if you know it, this family is one village, then you will sit down, and this official will not have any support in poverty alleviation policies.”

"My... my lord, this... is this too strict?" As soon as the words came out, the county magistrate lost his voice.

"Since everyone has the guts to cover up murderers, why should I sympathize with them?" Jia Amnesty said sonorously: "Didn't the policy formulated by this official take into account that they are poor and want to have sons? I just told them not to." Infanticide. Girls can be handed over to the court for upbringing if they can’t afford to raise them. It’s just to sever the parent-child relationship. If you can’t do this, then don’t talk to me about other things.”

The atmosphere in the room turned cold instantly, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, as the prefect of Kaifeng of Zhili was pushed out by everyone.

"Jia...Master Jia calm down, he has some unruly ideas..."

"This official has naturally considered that the well-known Master Wuhui of Guoqing Temple will come to Songshan Shaolin Temple to exchange ideas." Jia She said in a deep voice, "The Buddha will appear at that time, and those who kill infants will have no sons."
