The most rigid Jia Amnesty in the history of the Red Chamber

Thinking of making money, Jia She immediately thought of mountains of grain and bundles of cloth.But at the same time, there was one thing that made Jia Amnesty very difficult.

That is, on the bright side, Jia Amnesty is a "poor man" with only fixed assets and no surplus money, so even if he is ready to buy bottoms, Jia Amnesty is not good at himself.And to borrow the hands of others, there is no one around Jia She that he can trust.Even if Jia Daishan left those old ministries for himself, they were only activated by Jia She recently. Moreover, these people have never appeared in the original work. Jia She can not use the original work to infer his character and reliability. Jia She still needs to observe slowly in the future, so Jia Amnesty did not dare to trust them completely.

The last days are full of fighting and betrayal, Jia She is naturally a very careful person, even suspicious.Because of this, Jia Amnesty went directly to Shuntian Mansion, trusting no one would be better than trusting himself.

Du Yuan, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, handled the case of the theft in Rongguo Mansion and the Lai family.When Jia Amnesty found him, Du Yuan couldn't help shaking.

Jia Amnesty went to the household department to repay the money, which made the city full of wind and rain, and then heard that the Rongguo Mansion was exhausted, and it was in a situation of selling slaves to survive.As a local magistrate, although Du Yuan sent people to investigate the case of Jia's theft, but now he has not found any clues.

At this time Jia She came to the door, Du Yuan naturally misunderstood that Jia She came to inquire about the whereabouts of the mistake because life in the mansion was unsustainable.

Welcomed Jia Amnesty into the door, Du Yuan bowed his hands in salute, and Jia Amnesty bowed his hands in return.Then the two started to talk about their daily life.

Although Du Yuan said good things, Jia She felt that Du Yuan felt guilty.

From Jia She's point of view, Jia She thought that he just reminded Du Yuan with the words written on the fan that day. Who should stand among the distinguished old Feng Jun? This person should be a person with a sense of taste, so I want to get some household registrations from Du Yuan.But he hasn't spoken yet, why is Du Yuan afraid of it?

After saying a lot of polite words, Du Yuan continued: "General Jia, I know that the mansion was stolen, and the loss is not a small amount. In addition, General Jia is concerned about the country and the people, so he handed over so much money to the household department. , I naturally hope to recover the stolen things as soon as possible. It’s just that the officials are incompetent, and although they have stepped up their investigations, they have found nothing so far.” After speaking, he looked at Jia She with some embarrassment.

Jia She is 29 years old now, and he was born in a noble family, and he grew up with rich clothes and rich food. His skin looks so good-looking. If Du Yuan in front of him is not a bad old man but a big girl, Jia She will suspect that there are ulterior motives in such eyes.

Although he couldn't help laughing, Jia Amnesty looked distressed and sighed, "Hey, I don't know that some burglars come and go without a trace. To other provinces. Master Du only cares about the people's livelihood and security in Shuntian Mansion, and he can't get any thieves, so I can't blame Master Du. Besides..."

Jia Amnesty prolonged the ending of the word on purpose, and smiled mysteriously.

Although Du Yuan also felt that Jia She's face was quite handsome, he was still a little panicked by his expression.

"That's not why I came here this time." Jia Amnesty looked around deliberately, and said to Du Yuan in a voice that only Du Yuan could hear: "I came here to ask Mr. Du for some private matters."

Du Yuan almost couldn't control his trembling, and said with a sneer, "General Jia, please."

Jia Amnesty followed Du Yuan into the quiet room inside the yamen, only to find that the ancient magistrate also had an independent office similar to later generations, without Du Yuan's order, and no guards stepped forward to disturb him. '

Bringing Jia Amnesty to the quiet room, Du Yuan took a deep breath and asked, "General Jia is here, is there anything I can use to be an official?"

Seeing Du Yuan's trembling look, Jia She felt a little funny in his heart, but his face was tense, he frowned slightly, and said with shame: "I'm ashamed to say, Master Du also knows that I, Jia Enhou, have nothing else to do. The only thing I can do is to have a good mouth or two. There are a few girls from the south in my house. Their skin is more radiant than snow, and their willows are slender. The only thing is, these dead girls have a strong temper, so they would rather die You can't just follow me without knowing why. So..."

Du Yuan was full of apprehension at first, but later, a trace of admiration appeared on his face.General Jia, you have sold out your servants to live, why do you want to spend a lot of money for a beauty?

"So, I want Master Du to provide me with two household registrations. Although I can't marry these two goblins as the main wife, at least I can give you the status of a good concubine."

Du Yuan knows a thing or two about the style of Jiangnan women.Jia She's reputation as a flower-loving and lustful woman is known to everyone in the capital.Although Du Yuan didn't expect Jia She to find him for this reason, but the reason Jia She gave made sense.

In ancient times, household registration was manually entered, which was prone to errors; under such a background, it was easy to obtain one or two household registrations based on relationships;Therefore, this kind of thing is common in every state capital; Du Yuan, as a local prefect, couldn't do it easier. Within two days, he handed over two women's household registrations to Jia She.

At the same time, some aristocratic families in the capital who have no money in their hands are also trying to raise money.

After obtaining a clean household registration, Jia Amnesty gave Zuo Liang two bank notes from the Changlong bank that he had stolen from Jia's mother, and asked him to transfer the money to a new household registration.

At that time, one tael of gold could be exchanged for ten taels of silver.On that day, Jia Mu invested ten boxes of gold and thirty boxes of silver from the big treasury, and deposited half of them in Changlong Bank.This is calculated to be 5000 taels of gold and 5000 taels of silver, which is equivalent to 32 taels of silver in total.

At that time, when Lai Da went to work, he divided the money into several stubs, and Jia Amnesty only gave Zuo Liang two redemption notes of 1 taels of gold.Equivalent to 20 taels of silver.

That day when Jia Amnesty directed and acted in the Rongguo Mansion and swept away a large sum of money, it was Zuo Liang who sent people to Xishan Temple to kidnap Jia Zhu and transfer the tiger away from the mountain.On that day, it was reported that the Rongguo Mansion had been stolen.

Although Zuo Liang couldn't figure out how Jia Amnesty operated, he also vaguely knew that this matter was related to Jia Amnesty, so Zuo Liang was not frightened when Jia Amnesty handed over 20 taels of silver.

Everything is ready, the east wind is blowing, and there are rumors that Rongguo Mansion is poor. Jia She sent someone to blow the wind that Rongguo Mansion is too poor to put monthly money. Even the people in the market know that Rongguo Mansion is poor. .Then Jia She waited for the opportunity.

Sure enough, within a few days, the honorable family, who had enough money left in their family, had already brought gold and silver to the household department to settle the account.Some families with insufficient financial resources were lucky at first and took a wait-and-see attitude. Later, seeing that the Nan'an Palace had paid back the money, they couldn't sit still anymore.

During the reign of the Tai | Ancestors, four kings with different surnames were enshrined. Originally, the king of Beijing was the first and the king of Nan'an was the last. But after several decades, the other three families only bear the title of a county king and live in Beijing with a salary. Only the king of Nan'an is still leading troops along the West Sea, which is a real high position and weight.

The movement of Nan'an Palace is also the wind vane of the nobles in Beijing.

After the Nan'an Palace returned the money, many people in the capital began to secretly sell their property and use it as something to raise money.Others want face, and when they do this, they do it quietly behind their backs.But Jia Amnesty never cared about the so-called face. Seeing that the prices of high-quality goods received by pawnshops were repeatedly lowered, Jia Amnesty felt that the time was ripe.

Not only Jia She felt that the time was ripe, Zuo Liang also felt that the time was ripe.

Zuo Liang is the person left by Jia Daishan to Jia She, so he is naturally transparent and shrewd.Looking at the recent wind direction in the capital, thinking of the money that Jia She gave to him, and the prices of the antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and high-end furniture ornaments that have plummeted again and again, Zuo Liang thought that the old man wanted to buy at a low price, and he was ready to sell. .

Therefore, Zuo Liang was also paying attention to the news from Jia She's side these few days, and Zuo Liang was ready to act when Jia She gave a signal.Even Zuo Liang secretly contacted several sellers.

Unexpectedly, Zuo Liang didn't wait for the news that Jia She ordered him to buy a large number of low-priced good things, but he heard that the Rongguo Mansion could not support it any longer.

Emperor Jinghuai gave back to Jia Amnesty those large carts of good furniture and gold, silver, copper and tin, all of which were naturally good. Such a centralized listing?

On the one hand, Jia She ordered people to search for a buyer urgently, and on the other hand, he ordered people to spread rumors secretly, saying that there will be a large number of good things coming out in the future, and the price is expected to fall.

The high-quality furniture and decorations are all very expensive. Even if Xinrong Family wants to buy it, who is too panicked to burn the money?Seeing that Jia Amnesty also got involved, and seeing that there were more and more good things on the market, those who wanted to buy them waited and watched instead.As for the big pawnshops in the capital city, they have already bought a batch of goods at the beginning, but now seeing that the prices are still on the decline, they all want to wait for a while before selling.

Those who are short of tens of thousands of taels to make up the money they owe are eager to sell, but they have to continue to make concessions, and the prices of these things continue to drop.

The good things used by the upper class, that is, the so-called luxury goods in later generations, are bought up and not down.Once Jia Amnesty disturbed it, the small market was completely messed up.And what Jia Amnesty wanted to sell was not sold.

Just when Zuo Liang was at a loss and didn't know what Jia She was going to do, Jia She came to the end of Ningrong Street again.

Although the servants of Rongguo Mansion were betrayed by Jia She, Jia She still felt that Rongguo Mansion had too many people.So every time he wanted to see Zuo Liang, he would come in person.

Zuo Liang's residence is a small courtyard with two entrances, very clean.Seeing Jia Amnesty coming, Zuo Liang asked the Elder Master what his orders are.

Jia Amnesty is busy raising money now, but he didn't let it go. He told Zuo Liang that the furniture and decorations in his hands could not be sold, but the life in the family was difficult, and the old lady couldn't be wronged, so he decided to sell a Zhuangzi.Then, let Zuo Liang send someone to buy it back at a high price.

From Zuo Liang's point of view, isn't this just the right hand instead of the left hand?But Jia Amnesty ordered him to do so.

So, Zuo Liang sent someone to pretend to be a rich man from other provinces to Beijing, and spent [-] silver to buy a Zhuangzi in Rongguo Mansion.This is one of the four Zhuangzi under Jiamu's box, so it is naturally excellent.

There are countless rich and noble families in the capital, and the good farmland in the suburbs of Beijing has long been owned, which cannot be bought with money.The Jia family sold this Zhuangzi, naturally at the market price.

People who are eager to raise money naturally want to exchange their furniture for silver at the beginning. Although good things are expensive, they are not like farms, which make money every year.But when the prices of furniture and decorations drop to a certain level, anyone will be distressed to sell them.

At this time, seeing that the farm in Rongguo Mansion could be sold at the original price, although not everyone was tempted, there were quite a few families who were tempted.

Not to mention the ones in the suburbs of Beijing, but those in Tongzhou and Baoding. As long as they are from Dazhuangzi with fertile land, which one can’t be easily bought in Taiping years?When these things are released, there are many people who want to buy them.

It's just a matter of raising money from the noble family. Anyone who is well-informed knows that looking at the furniture and decorations that have fallen to nowhere, many people who have money in their hands feel that Zhuangzi's shop will also fall again.So there are many people waiting and watching, but not many people making moves.

At this time, Jia Amnesty made a move, not only ordered Zuo Liang to buy the land at the original price, but also ordered that even if the price was slightly higher, it would be fine.

No matter how fast news spread in ancient times, it was not as fast as in the information age.Jia Amnesty had been prepared for a long time, and with a time difference, he snatched up several big villages with hundreds of hectares of fertile land.

Zeng Kuo climbed up step by step from a poor family. Although he received a lot of gifts for three festivals and two birthdays and saved a lot of family wealth, he never bought a suitable farm in the suburbs of Beijing.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zeng Kuo also bought a small village at a price slightly higher than the market price.

And when other greedy people who wanted to buy Zhuangzi realized it, no one was willing to make a move.In the final analysis, the ones who sell Zhuangzi for emergency are those few households who are only short of tens of thousands of taels and have raised all the money they owe.If the family has enough money, who is willing to sell Zhuangzi?If there is a big shortage of funds, selling Zhuangzi is not a big deal.Therefore, the matter of buying Zhuangzi, after passing through this village, there will be no such shop.

It wasn't until he held several land deeds of Zhuangzi in his hand that Zuo Liang realized that this series of moves by the old man was really too powerful.

From letting the wind out and saying that the Rongguo Mansion has no money, to being the first to sell the land to the left hand and then to the right hand, and then to quickly buying a few big villages that can't be bought with money on weekdays, all these links are linked together. middle.

Zuo Liang's admiration for Jia Amnesty soared.It turned out that when I only saw the prices of furniture and decorations falling again and again, the old man always only saw the farm in his eyes.
