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

Jia Amnesty confessed to Liu Xuan, and Liu Xuan naturally paid attention to the movements of Situ Jing and his party.However, although the soldiers in northern Xinjiang are busy, the military discipline is not chaotic, and the people under the rule have not lost their laws. It is really not like the headless snake after the general soldier died suddenly.

Of course, in order to deceive others, Situ Jing was also investigating Hou Zhao's death, but the investigation made no progress, and there was no conclusion, but he often discussed things secretly with a counselor surnamed Gong.The counselor was obviously highly valued by Situ Jing. When the two of them were discussing matters, not to mention Liu Xuan and other people from the Beijing camp, even the people from the third division would not let them approach, and even the guards would stay far away.

If Jia She hadn't reminded her, Liu Xuan might have let go of these details, but with Jia She's words, Situ Jing's behavior would be different and strange.

The counselor with the surname of Gong is naturally Lu Fengyu after changing his appearance.Speaking of it, Lu Fengyu was probably overconfident in his own wisdom, or maybe his disguise technique was really good, or maybe Princess Yongchang's mansion was worried about Situ Jing's wisdom, so they sent Lu Fengyu here.In short, a felon from the imperial court followed Situ Jing in a grand manner.

Of course, the most dangerous place is the safest principle, which has been applicable since ancient times. If Jia She had not heard his voice in Lujiazhuang, Yongchang Princess Mansion and on the way to Northern Xinjiang, he would not have recognized this completely changed person. It was Lu Fengyu.

Jia She has excellent hearing ability. Even though Situ Jing and Lu Fengyu were extremely careful, Jia She had heard the content of their conversation several times, which only confirmed Jia She's previous guess that Situ Jing's vassal was the idea of ​​fighting to seize power. , need not elaborate.Only one of them was that Situ Jing couldn't bear it anymore, and wanted to take Liu Xuan's military power as soon as he settled down.

Princess Yongchang's mansion has been planning to steal the country for a long time, and Lu Fengyu's patience is much stronger than Situ Jing's.Lu Fengyu persuaded: "Your Highness, since Liu Xuan's reputation as an immortal has been spread, she has a very high prestige in the army, and this matter needs to be figured out slowly."

Situ Jing said: "Before I went to the north, my father specially granted me a military talisman. Even if I want Liu Xuan to hand over the military power, it is justified. No one can say anything about me. I don't know why Mr. Lu is so careful."

Lu Fengyu smiled: "Your Highness, we have a big plan. Now is the time to recharge your batteries. We can't lose the big for the sake of [-] military power. At this moment, Liu Xuan's military power is needed. Naturally, no one can say that His Highness What, but those who are interested will inevitably feel that His Highness is too hasty. Of course we want military power, but it is not worth the loss if it arouses suspicion. Your Highness guess, how many of the [-] troops and the officials of the three divisions are the emperor's people?"

Hearing this, Situ Jing became a little more sober, and asked: "I don't know when this class will be a head. Besides, if Liu Xuan refuses to hand over the military power at this moment, will she be willing to do so after a while?"

"Then dare to ask Your Highness, what should happen if Liu Xuan refuses to hand over the military power? Lu Fengyu didn't answer Situ Jing's question directly, but asked a question instead.

Situ Jing said bitterly: "Little third general, he died suddenly."

"Your Highness, Beijiang has already killed a general soldier, and another Marquis has disappeared, and several Beidou assassins have died. If the vanguard general with a [-] army dies suddenly in Beijiang, how many people do you think will be attracted?" Suspicious? Even if Her Royal Highness asks the emperor to suspend, I'm afraid it won't stop civil and military officials and your brothers from investigating this matter thoroughly. Therefore, it is not appropriate to kill important officials in Beijiang in the near future. Don't worry, Your Highness, come to Beijiang People in Xinjiang will be "loyal" to His Highness sooner or later; if someone refuses, it will take time for us to store up food and train troops. During these days, there are many opportunities to replace those who are not loyal. At this moment, we only need to support It’s good to store up your energy.” Lu Fengyu’s tone was neither urgent nor slow, but he was very determined.

As Lu Fengyu said, after King Jing arrived in Beijiang, Beijiang began to recuperate.Naturally, one or two soldiers would die occasionally. According to Jia She and Liu Xuan's speculation, these accidental people may have discovered clues of Situ Jing's plot.

Lu Fengyu is indeed an outstanding counselor. Even if the northern border continues to die at a very good pace, it will not make people think that once Situ Jing arrives in northern border, the people in northern border will be governed to live and live in peace; The [-] troops arrived in northern Xinjiang, where banditry is still rampant, and officials of the imperial court often die in vain.In this way, it will not appear that Situ Jing is incompetent, nor will the civil and military officials feel that they must send more troops to suppress the border to completely solve the border issue.

Lu Fengyu persuaded Situ Jing to leave, while rectifying the administration of officials in northern Xinjiang, he secretly recruited the defenders in northern Xinjiang. However, Liu Xuan was reminded by Jia Amnesty, and she secretly observed again, firmly holding on to the military power and refusing to release it.As for the other garrisons, the treacherous ones were originally from the Princess Yongchang's mansion, and the loyal ones saw Situ Jing as the vassal. Naturally, they were loyal to the imperial court and vassal. It didn't take long for the original garrison in Northern Xinjiang to be almost absorbed by Situ Jing. .

Seeing that Liu Xuan couldn't be bitten, Lu Fengyu also tried to attack Liu Xuan's lieutenants, but it happened that Liu Xuan refused to be injured in the battle in Dezhou Cang, and the reputation of the reincarnation of the immortal spread.The ancients were superstitious, and soldiers guarding the frontier may encounter military disasters at any time. The degree of superstition is stronger than that of ordinary people. Who wouldn't want to follow a general like Liu Xuan, who might be able to save the day when encountering a war.Therefore, even though Lu Fengyu was full of wit and tricks, he was also at a loss when it came to taking Liu Xuan's military power.

The garrison at the border not only requires daily drills, but also reclaims wasteland and reclaims land to be self-sufficient.At that time, northern Xinjiang was sparsely populated, and the fertile land was uncultivated.These lands, after being reclaimed, are ready-made fertile fields.Now Liu Xuan leads an army of [-], with enough manpower and no war, within a few unfavorable months, they have opened up thousands of hectares of fertile land.

At this time, it is early summer.

Jia She saw that Liu Xuan was well-known in the [-]-strong army of the Beijing camp, Liu Xuan was also vigilant enough to Situ Jing, and the situation in northern Xinjiang had temporarily entered into a certain balance, so he proposed to Liu Xuan that if there were still things to do, he would leave the North for the time being. Xinjiang.

Since the first time they worked together on the Dezhou Cang case, Liu Xuan not only had Jia She rescued her many times, but also knew that Jia She was good at divination.On this day, Liu Xuan, under the pretext of sending her side chief to accompany Jiuhuai back to Beijing to deliver a letter, played Jia She in a fair and honest manner and left northern Xinjiang.

Jia She naturally knew that Lu Fengyu had been dissatisfied with Liu Xuan for a long time, and when Liu Xuan sent him back to Beijing, Lu Fengyu must have sent someone to follow him.At the beginning, Jia Amnesty just pretended not to know, and hurried on his way unhurriedly, making those who followed him believe that he was just a regular follower who knew some kung fu.After walking like this for a while, I found a chance to get rid of Lu Fengyu's people and head south all the way.

It is a long way from northern Xinjiang to Lianghu and Jiangnan. I set off from northern Xinjiang in early summer. After I got the two lakes, the summer grain should be harvested.

Previously in Iron Net Mountain, Jia Amnesty gave Zhou Fu's family a large sum of money, telling him to only buy rice, but he didn't know how much he bought now.Moreover, it is still difficult to find Zhou Fu's family. In ancient times, communication was inconvenient. After a few months away, Jia She doesn't know where Zhou Fu's family is now.

Jia Amnesty first went to Jiangnan. Firstly, Jiangnan is a land of fish and rice, rich in grain; secondly, the Jia family's ancestral home is Jinling, and there are many industries in Jiangnan.Even if Zhou Fu is not in the south of the Yangtze River, he will first use the output of his own Zhuangzi to earn space.

But it is said that Jia Amnesty went all the way south, and after more than a month, he arrived at the border of Jiangnan.Now the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty heard that Jia She died on the way to northern Xinjiang, but the body was not found.That's why Jia Amnesty couldn't show up easily, even if it was produced by his own Zhuangzi, it was difficult for Jia Amnesty to show up to collect food.But since it was his own, Jia Amnesty didn't have to go through formal procedures.

Rongguo Mansion's property Jia She had a list, so Jia She wandered the streets during the day to see if there were signs agreed between him and Zhou Fu in the major grain shops, and at night he opened the locks directly according to the list with wind power, Just take away all the grains, rice, wine, bacon and so on.

If it is in the last days, you can fight people desperately for a bite to eat.The south of the Yangtze River is rich and prosperous, and there are many big families who have stored a lot of rice, grain and supplies in their homes. If Jia Amnesty harvested all the way, the supplies he searched would probably be comparable to the national treasury.But in the end, there is no shortage of food, and morality has overwhelmed Jia She's strong desire for supplies, and there are no irrelevant people.

For a few days like this, Jia Amnesty collected his property in Jinling, including rice and grain, into the space, bought the stocks of several grain merchants, bought a lot of spicy food, fish, vegetables, fruits, wine, and many water storage containers, and put them in the space. Went to Yangzhou again.

There are many salt merchants in Yangzhou, so there is naturally a large amount of salt in stock.Although salt is small, it is indispensable for a day. If a person does not get enough salt for a day or two, he will feel weak.It is precisely because of this that salt has always been operated by the government. If there is no salt guide, even with money, it is impossible to purchase in large quantities.

Fortunately, Jia Amnesty lacked everything except gold and silver. When he arrived in Yangzhou, he took away all the private salt from Yangzhou's borders, and he probably had a lot of it.

Although it was expected that there would be a war in northern Xinjiang, Jia Amnesty did not ignore people's livelihood in order to raise strategic materials.Because he was afraid of buying too much grain and causing profiteers to drive up prices, Jia Amnesty's purchases in Jinling were also in moderation; similarly, Jia Amnesty had no idea about official salt and warehouses for salt.

Precisely because he has seen too many killings in the last days and killed too many people in order to survive, Jia Amnesty respects life more when it is not necessary.Jiangnan is rich, and idlers can't stop him. If he gets mad, how many government granaries can be unlocked and swept away, but if that happens, there will be a famine, and countless innocent people will suffer.He didn't want to see starvation everywhere when the world was still in peace, so Jia Amnesty spent money to buy all the supplies he needed.

I didn’t meet Zhou Fu in Jinling, Jia She had no hope at first, but on the second day in Yangzhou, Jia She saw a Qiankun grain store. Can't see any meaningful ripples.That was the sign of the agreement between Jia Amnesty and Zhou Fu.

Zhou Funeng was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Zhou Kun, that is to say, the Zhou family. Apart from his martial arts, he was also excellent in disguise. Judging by his appearance, Jia She could hardly recognize him.Jia Amnesty was also wearing makeup, and Zhou Fu didn't recognize him either.

After Jia She raised his foot to enter, Zhou Fu came out to greet him, and Jia She recognized the shopkeeper as Zhou Fu from his accent.Jia She took out the jade pendant that Zhou Fu had given him when he was at Iron Net Mountain. Zhou Fu looked at it, but he didn't show it on his face. He just said to Jia She: "This guest officer, please come in and talk about it in detail."

Jia Amnesty nodded and followed Zhou Fu into the inner hall.

"Master, you're here, how have you been?" Entering the inner hall, Zhou Fu became agitated, and his voice trembled a little.

"Uncle Fu, I'm great. How are you doing what I asked you to do?" Jia She asked.

Zhou Fudao: "This year's harvest is good, and we have bought a lot of food and cloth. Back then, the household registration that the young lady gave us and my wife was originally from Yangzhou. We lived in the capital for many years and went back to our hometown to do some business. It didn't arouse suspicion. And I When I was young, I marched and fought with my father-in-law. Because most of the food, grass and luggage were transported north from the south of the Yangtze River and the two lakes, I had dealt with people from the Cao Gang.

Yangzhou gathers salt merchants from all over the world, and the Cao Gang also has a foundation in Yangzhou. I thought that if it was not under the banner of the young master, ordinary people would be eye-catching if they did a big business. However, when the business is supported, no one comes to the door.I told me that I was an old man from the Cao Gang, and that when I returned to my hometown this time, I was doing some small business incognito, so I don't need to say my original name or surname.It's just that the Cao Gang is becoming more and more powerful now, and there are dragons and snakes in it, not all of them are reliable, I worry that one day the news will leak out. "

Jia Amnesty nodded, indicating that he knew everything.The so-called collusion between government and businessmen, in this era, although businessmen are rich, their status is low.If you want to do business, you must have someone behind you to take care of you, so as not to be bullied.It is still several years before Lin Ruhai goes to Yangzhou to serve as the salt censor. Jia She really has no reliable contacts in Yangzhou.It is a way for Zhou Fu to take the way of the Cao Gang, but when he deals with the old affairs of the Cao Gang, he must come forward as Jia Daishan's former department. Although Zhou Fu's old Cao Gang agreed to hide his identity for Zhou Fu, no one can guarantee Zhou Fu's identity will not be revealed.

However, dealing with the Cao Gang is not without benefits. The people of the Cao Gang transport grain, salt, mulberry, etc. in various ports along the canal. In fact, the Cao Gang also controls the business of illegal salt trading. Jia She wants to buy illegal salt , it is much easier.

After pondering for a while, Jia She said: "Uncle Fu, don't take risks in everything. If you find out that your business is being targeted by someone in the future, you can just set fire to the shop and go away. As for money, there is nothing to be reluctant to part with. Right now, I still have a few things. If you want to do it, it will be hard for Uncle Fu."

Zhou Fu should be right, and the two of them handed over the materials they had already purchased. Jia Amnesty gave Zhou Fu the grain, cloth, and ready-made clothing that Zhou Fu had purchased in the past few months, and asked Zhou Fu to go through the channel of the Cao Gang to purchase. A large amount of private salt, as soon as the income space was received, went north again.

After another month, Jia She went to the two lakes, bought a lot of food and supplies, and filled the water tanks he bought with clean water, and returned to northern Xinjiang with a full load.

In this era, northern Xinjiang relied on fishing and hunting for a living. The crops were mainly wheat and soybeans, and there were also some nomadic peoples.However, the land in northern Xinjiang is fertile and rice can be grown.Jia Amnesty went south this time and brought back a large amount of millet, which can be used for planting.Now the Liuxuan Department has reclaimed a lot of good fields, and they can try to grow rice next year.

Although the former garrison in northern Xinjiang and the [-] soldiers of the Beijing camp are in the same northern border, the farmland is managed separately. General Liu Xuan has tight control over the power. Naturally, the output of the farmland in the coming year will be harvested and kept by Liu Xuan himself.

According to Jia Amnesty's prediction, even if there was an incident in Situ Jing, the palace would have to be built and the family would be taken over.At that time, Jia Lian, as the companion of Situ Jing's eldest son, happened to come to Beijiang together, and he asked Zuo Liang to find an opportunity to send Aunt Li's mother and daughter away from Beijing.However, the northern Xinjiang is bitterly cold, and the soil is frozen for half a year. The time to start construction of the palace is limited, and it will take at least two years to complete the palace. These two years are enough for me to plan.

Unexpectedly, just as winter started this year, something happened. The Tatars invaded the border, and Situ Jing ordered Liu Xuan to lead the army to meet the enemy.
