The Traitor Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

Jia Amnesty has never worried about money, even when he was in trouble for a while when he was walking in the rivers and lakes; even if the housekeeper power was in the hands of Jia Shishi and Mrs. Wang, they did not limit his grand master's spending; My son's albums, books, notes, calligraphy, paintings, etc. have prepared military pay, but after all, the main force is the Ministry of Household Affairs.But looking at Jia Lian, whose brows were twisted into knots, Jia She scratched his head and suggested sincerely, "Why don't you just prepare military pay the same way as before? Sell some of your calligraphy? Give me an imperial merchant title or something?"

"Father, this kind of thing can be done once, but if it happens twice in a short period of time, it will make people feel like a wolf." Jia Lian sighed and explained: "It was a national crisis before, and everyone was horrified by the long guns and cannons. In those few years, it was a matter of one mind, and we all tightened our belts and favored military expenditures. Now, we have invested a large amount of money overseas, but we have not seen any returns. Not to mention businessmen, even courtiers are muttering. Therefore, the various expenditures previously approved by the Ministry of Households cannot be moved. The remaining 100 million taels of silver can be used for expenditure. Don’t you think this is sending me away as a beggar? I have to ask them how to spend the gold and silver that I robbed It's a waste of time! It's so fucking aggrieved."

Like him being the master of the family, not to mention the property of the Rongguo Mansion, he has the final say on how to spend it all.It's just how the Ning Mansion next door invests and he can be the master of more than half of it!If you want to form a militia, you should be a militia, if you want to open a store, you should open it, and if you want to explore overseas, you should explore it. No one dares to talk nonsense.

In the final analysis, the timing of his ascension to the throne is still wrong. When his power is more stable, more manpower will be developed, and more interest groups will be formed. Let's see who dares to challenge him in the court.

"Lian'er, don't be angry!" Jia Amnesty hurriedly poured a cup of tea and handed it over: "Quiet the fire, let it go, or...or..."

Jia She glanced at Jia Lian and played with his fingers: "Although I donated the private property that my grandmother returned to my father before, but Sanbao... Sanbao still has some property in the palace. Although he previously donated the gold and silver looted in the Northeast I repaired a test house for the sixth child, but we discovered a gold mine before! And the family property, you... I will give you a third! The other part is for Hu'er, and the other part is for us to take care of the elderly."

"Father, how can I ask for your money." Although Jia Lian had heard of the "Golden Pig Bank" from the mouth of the Loyalty Emperor, considering his father's spending level, he himself was always skeptical about the stock of the "Golden Pig Bank". The important thing is that no matter how poor or miserable he is, he can't suffer the child, otherwise he will be really aggrieved as the emperor.

"But didn't you say that this idea is good for the country and the people?" Jia Amnesty was puzzled, and just about to ask what to do, when he heard the inner eunuch approaching slowly, saying in a low voice: "My lord, my lord, Jane Getting old."

Upon hearing this honorific title, Jia Amnesty couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.His eldest nephew didn't know whether it was good luck or bad luck.I have no official title, but my son, the prince of the county, and even my daughter-in-law, Xiao Tang, have been promoted.The first female Dali Temple Shaoqing in this dynasty!Fourth Grade Officer!Even though the previous dynasty was enlightened, Xiao Tang was still an official, but now he is an official!He who can give his husband an order!Has the Ministry of Rites ever worried about this?What is the name of this female official's husband that makes him seem so reckless.

"Father, please be quiet later. I'll talk to Brother Zhen."

"Son, your expression is so treacherous."

"I can't help it. The emperor's family has no food leftovers. I want to collect some wool flowers, and it really makes Jia Zhen a rich and idle person? I have to play some role." Jia Zhen is fine now, and has no reaction to her lack of title or official, but he His ears softened, and there were a lot of worldly rumors. If it goes on for a long time, if his temperament changes, let alone that he intends to continue to promote Tang Shaoqing, it will be difficult for even Rong'er to get along with.

The premise of watching and helping each other is to be in the same circle.

Seeing Jia Lian's solemn appearance, Jia She scratched his head, ran behind the screen and looked around.He was afraid that he would speak too quickly.

=====

"Grassman Jia Zhen, kowtow to see my emperor." Jia Zhen entered the room, knelt down respectfully and saluted.

"Brother Zhen, I told you that you don't need these gifts." Jia Lian helped Jia Zhen up, smiled as usual, and said affectionately.

"No, it's still..." Jia Zhen seemed to have thought of something when she heard the words, rubbed her palms, and hurriedly said: "We still have to be careful, etiquette cannot be discarded, and what should be paid attention to is still to be paid attention to."

"Why are you still unfamiliar with me?"

"No, brother Lian, you don't know, didn't I come to see you once before?" Jia Zhen felt aggrieved when she heard this, "When I go back, the old man of the Tang family is 80 years old. Okay, I've been chatting at the door for a long time, and my father, he was willing to put down his precious alchemy furnace, and just hit my palm with the fly whisk. It's fierce, I don't want to mention it at all."

"It's because they are careful. These rules and etiquette are just empty. As long as Brother Zhen, you don't do anything that hurts the world and harms the country and the people, I won't touch you at all."

Although it sounded like a promise from the emperor, Jia Zhen couldn't help but tremble when she heard the words, and hurriedly swore in various ways.

Seeing this, Jia Lian took a sip of tea, listened to someone swear for a while, and then slowly said: "Brother, you deserve this. Without your help, I would not have taken over the Rongfu so smoothly. Besides , Didn't I tell you about Rong'er?"

Jia Zhen touched her neck subconsciously.

"Brother Zhen, look at my father. I canonized him as the emperor, but that's a bit of a mouthful. At any rate, since he turned his back on the prodigal son, he has done some meritorious service to earn military pay. But if Rong'er wants to be filial to you in the future ..." Deliberately elongating his tone, Jia Lian unceremoniously hung Jia Zhen with a cake.

"Then... then, didn't I help promote sweet potatoes? All the crops have been planted in Zhuangzi, and I almost vomited for three consecutive years." Jia Zhen said anxiously: "I..."

"Brother Zhen, don't worry, although this matter will let Zhongjun belong to Rong'er, and he will be appointed as the county prince, so that the courtiers will be convinced." Jia Lian said with determination: "But this matter is ultimately between me and Rong'er." The queen planned it first, didn't she?"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes," Jia Zhen felt that she vaguely understood, but she was also a little confused, and her mind was like a cat scratching, uncomfortable!It simply means that he has been used to dealing with Jia Lian directly over the years.

Closing her eyes and thinking about all kinds of things, Jia Zhen made up her mind, took a deep breath, and asked directly: "Brother Lian, why are you looking for me for some new crops? Don't play around with me, just tell me."

"Then let me just say it straight?" Jia Lian looked at Jia Zhen, "Hold on to the armrest and sit still."

"what?"

"I have a hospital preparation plan here. You should find a way to get the Tang family involved, and bring out the autopsy technique and the specimens." Jia Lian took out the preparation method that had been drawn up and handed it over, saying in a deep voice: " If this is done well, it will benefit thousands of years and benefit all generations.”

"But...but isn't that specimen... isn't it the Tang family's secret method?" Jia Zhen stammered and asked back.

Jia Lian smiled kindly at Jia Zhen: "I want to give the Tang family a face for your sake, otherwise I will just snatch it away."

Jia Zhen gasped: "Aren't you and Tang Yue and Tang Rui on good terms?"

"Then I will never allow the disciples of the third division to be Tang Zhongli's children, do you understand?" Jia Lian frowned, seeing Jia Zhen's face turned pale when she heard the words, she patted the person's shoulder affectionately, and spoke with sincerity "Brother Zhen, take a long-term view. It seems that you will suffer damage if you take the secret method, but in the long run, it will definitely benefit the Tang family. And to put it bluntly, you also said before that you broke into the palace and returned The queen master Tang came to scold you, why?"

"Even if there is a war, you put Rong'er in Fujian, did Uncle Jing urge you to bring Rong'er back?" Jia Lian patted Jia Zhen and smiled, "These people are all mature."

"You... you mean they... all know?" Jia Zhen was dumbfounded: "I never said that. I don't even dare to drink too much."

Jia Lian reassured: "So they have become elites. This is politics, and I have a keen sense of smell."

Anyway, he didn't reveal it.Jia Zhen slandered to herself, couldn't help but patted her beating heart, took the preparation plan, glanced at ten lines, and was shocked: "You... didn't you say that you are the one who examines the corpse? Why...how? It’s treating the living again? For these colds, don’t you ask the imperial doctor... I mean there is a medical center?"

"Isn't there still ordinary people who have no money?" Jia Lian said, "Since the hospitals have been built, they are all sent to yamen in various places. These are all medical skills, so naturally they have to be together." Maybe talented students can do both. Shuangxiu, the government office can send one less.After all, it is poor.

Jia Zhen nodded half-understood: "Then I will find someone to organize it according to this plan?"

"Well, I have nothing else to do here. If you have time, go and see Rong'er before leaving."

"Okay, then you are busy." Jia Zhen saluted and left, flipped through the preparation plan in her hand, suddenly stopped, turned around, looked at Jia Lian who had returned to the throne, and whispered: "Brother Lian, this... you in this early stage Estimated to cost 100 million silver? For this money you..."

"Ning's mansion can't do without money?"

"Yes, there are, but there aren't that many at the moment. My father just got money from Lao Ku just half a month ago, and he already raised money directly from Lao Ku, saying that he has a new invention." Jia Zhen frowned: "Ronger, that brat It’s not about writing letters to my father, it’s all because of his practice of alchemy and frying furnaces that gave him the inspiration to get explosives temporarily. Then there is also the decree issued by Zhong Jun in the past, my father has been working hard with explosives these years I don’t know how much money was burned, but the useful one has not been researched. Over the years, it has cost almost a million taels, that is, Rong’er rubbed against you for a little work, and filled the vacancy with the spoils of war.”

"You can't say that. The fireworks developed by the old man are quite beautiful. They also have color gradients and can display characters. It's very good. I plan to set them off during the palace banquet." Jia Lian smiled and patted as if Jia Zhen said that "the landlord's family has no surplus food".

He also knew that Jia Jing was competing with explosives. These fireworks were discovered by his father and Ronger when they went to the Taoist temple to play.When discussing the banquet program before, his father mentioned it casually.He naturally satisfied his father with such trivial matters.However, according to the report from the Ministry of Rites, it has been tested a few times, and it is really beautiful.

Moreover, although Jia Jing doesn't seem to have any talent for shells, he has a few other formulas by mistake, such as Jia Rong's potion for melting the palace wall, which is really easy to use, and it is a good helper for tearing down the wall quietly.

"Has my father studied this?" Jia Zhen was puzzled when she heard this.

"Uncle Jing, if you are interested in research, let him do it. His seemingly unsuccessful ammunition formulas can be used after tidying up. Those personnel in his Taoist temple... Forget it, let Rong'er handle this matter All right. As for the hospital, you can go back and discuss it with sister-in-law. If sister-in-law and her family agree, you will not let you pay all the money. "

"However," Jia Lian said more emphatically, "Brother Zhen, remember, you must take the lead, or my Jia family must take [-]% of the right to speak in this hospital, you know? This hospital is called Hua Jia Hospital."

"Yeah." Jia Zhen nodded hurriedly.

Jia Lian was worried again, and after a few words of advice, he watched Jia Zhen leave behind, and then let out a sigh of relief.

Here, Jia Amnesty couldn't hold back anymore, and looked at Jia Lian in horror: "Son, are you familiar with killing?"

"That's right." Jia Lian replied as a matter of course: "I can't help it, I'm really short of money. By the way, Dad, I have something else to trouble you."

"Say it!" Jia She patted his chest and promised.

"Lele, he's sorting out the accounts of the harem, and he's going to cut some things, father, so it might be a little bit harder in the past few years." Speaking of this, Jia Lian was still a little embarrassed.When Emperor Taixing was the Supreme Emperor, especially in the next few years, the emperor was sincere and filial, and the life of Daming Palace was not to mention how chic it was.

Now, although the foundation was laid by the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is a stage of gradual prosperity and prosperity, but if it is conservative, compared with the previous dynasties, the days are not bad, but it can be compared horizontally with other countries.

Jia Lian felt very insecure, not only poor but also weak.

Although Jia Lian doesn't know the development of future generations and the development of the world, but based on his personal experience, if he wants to become stronger, he needs money and force.

Armament expenditure is the bulk, and the group of people who are eating crabs overseas have not yet returned. If they want to make money, they can only cut down on expenditure first.

"Son, can you lose Xiao Wang, the historian?" Jia She first asked, "I'm not afraid of being poor. It's okay to lose all those palace servants."

"Without him watching, you might have had a big fight with Rong'er in the study room." Jia Lian sneered: "If I hear my master complaining collectively again, I'll add another row of painters for you, just staring behind you, doing nothing. Draw it."

Jia She puffed up his cheeks in anger: "No wonder the prodigal, the extravagant prodigal!"

"Who said I'm a prodigal, yours, I sold it to the King of Qin." Jia Lian continued to smile: "As for Ronger's, anyway, since he was a child, he had a picture album and sold it again. The little girl is very fond of it, and now the copying skills are also good. .There is a limited edition of [-] sets of "Shangshufang Picture Album", and I priced it at [-], I am afraid that some people will buy it."

"Lack of money and lack of madness."

"That's right!" Jia Lian said, "Okay, Dad said it's serious. It's just the group of singing and dancing, storytelling, storytelling and acrobatics raised by the Daming Palace before. Don't worry, I don't plan to sell them!"

"Then what do you mean? Although I don't like this very much, I listen to it occasionally to pass the time. Who told you not to let me go out to play?"

"I mean, there is a special banquet organization in the palace. The Ministry of Etiquette is in charge of state banquets, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is responsible for family banquets. There are only two banquet teams, and if you add Daming Palace, there will be more. Of course, it's not about subtracting them now. After all, I’ve been raising them for so many years, so it’s not justified if I don’t make money.” Jia Lian eloquently explained his purpose: “You’re not some dandy friends, tell them that this royal team can take on private jobs. How respectable.”

"...Son, you are so familiar! How poor is this?" Jia She felt that he couldn't imagine it.Even if the Rongguo Mansion was defeated year by year in the past, raising a group of small opera singers would not have to go out to take on jobs and start performing operas.
