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

No matter how many secrets were covered up because of Agula's dementia, from the perspective of the court situation, it has entered a certain temporary balance.

Inside and outside the imperial court, after nearly a year of rectifying the administration of officials, Haiyan and Heqing appeared to be considered Haiyan and Heqing.Of course, because Princess Yongchang has the trust of the father and son of the Situ family, it is easy for Princess Yongchang to secretly influence the court situation.I don't know how many important civil and military positions that Emperor Jinghuai thought he had replaced his own people are actually still in the hands of Princess Yongchang's mansion.Now that the Qingming is governed in various places, it may be that the officials of all parties are temporarily dormant.

Xu Yan is still in command of the Pojun Department, but as Jia She and Xu Yan expected, with the sudden dementia of Agula, who was detained by Pojun and returned to Beijing, Emperor Jinghuai now spends more time passing on the affairs of the Lucun Department.The situation in which Xu Yan outshone Beidou's deputy commanders was broken.

However, Jia Amnesty did not ask about the affairs of the court, and happened to order all the villages and shops in the capital and nearby to transport all the income from last year back to the Hou's mansion for storage.Now Shanyonghou's mansion has a small population and many houses. Jia She converted many houses into warehouses and kept the keys by himself. The rice and grain from many villages kept coming in, but there was a place to store them.Of course, these storages are done in a clear way, and Jia Amnesty will store the grain in the space after it is put into the warehouse, which does not arouse suspicion.

As for the several farms that Jia She entrusted Zuo Liang to take care of last year, Zuo Liang secretly bought a few grain stores for himself, and transported the output of each farm to the warehouses of the grain banks. Buy more food.Because last year was a good year and the weather was good, there was already a lot of rice in Jia She's space.Although this year was tiring, and also under the coercion of Emperor Jing Huai, the harvest was extremely fruitful.

As for Princess Yongchang's mansion, last year a man in black broke into the study room where the business was being discussed, and was so frightened that Princess Yongchang's mansion immediately set fire to the study room.Although his minions chased the man in black all the way, the man in black went straight to the palace.Wu Xi insisted that Jia She was just a useless dandy; Yu Feisong initially suspected that the man was Jia She, but after probing, the man in black didn't respond, so he lost his suspicion.Therefore, Princess Yongchang's mansion always thought that the man in black was from the palace, and was frightened.Now that Jia She has returned to the capital, Princess Yongchang's mansion has also reacted. The man in black who broke into the princess mansion day and night is probably Jia She.

Jia Amnesty was able to capture Agula among thousands of troops, and single-handedly take him away from the northern border and contact Iron Net Mountain Villa. Twenty top killers could not take his life. Living with a man in black, Jia She is the only one who has the ability.

Now that Jia Amnesty brought Agula back to Beijing safely, it was a false alarm to Princess Yongchang's mansion; but to Princess Yongchang's mansion, it was only a false alarm.The Yongchang Princess Mansion has been in operation for a long time, and Agula can be speechless by using any means at will.

After a busy year, Jia She didn't have much time to practice.Now that he's back in Beijing, he uses his year's harvest as income, and doesn't care about court affairs, so Jia Amnesty has a lot of time to raise his children and practice at the same time.

Jia Lian was already ten years old, and because he was almost assassinated when he first entered the palace as a companion, Jia Lian became more prudent; and because he was a companion in the study room, he received the best education in governing the country, Jia Lian is now quite established.Jia She had time to give Jia Lian some advice, and Jia Lian answered fluently, and was quite insightful on some issues.

Jia She also lamented once because of this, his own son, in the original book, did not receive a good education because of the chain reaction of the former prince's bad deeds, and grew up in the shadow of Rongguo Mansion's doting on the young and the neglected; in this life, He has received a good education, but he has to be dragged to grow rapidly because of his involvement in court battles.After all, Jia Lian never had a healthy and happy childhood in his two lifetimes.

Of course, in Jia She's view, although Jia Lian is not as happy as the children in the peaceful and prosperous age, it is not bitter.How harsh and painful is the living environment in the last days?If you encounter it, do you have to face it differently?As far as Jia Lian is concerned, it is always good to learn more skills.

Of course, Jia Lian is also worthy of the educational resources he has.

Because he kept his father's teachings in mind, Jia Lian never had any troubles in the palace except for a surprise attack once.If you don't go to places with few people and secluded places, your grades will be neither good nor bad.But Jia Amnesty tested Jia Lian a few times, and found that Jia Lian was flexible in thinking, able to draw inferences from one instance, and did not stick to books and what his master taught;

After all, they are the descendants of Rong Guogong and the Zhou family, and Jia Lian's mother Zhang's family is also a scholarly family, so Jia Lian's qualifications are excellent.To make him live like in the original book, besides the uncontrollable situation, it is also enough to prove that after Mother Jia took charge of the family, the education of her children was really ruinous.In the entire Rongguo Mansion, none of the men could stand upright.

For Jia Lian's culture class, Jia She has nothing to worry about. Only when Jia Lian returns home, Jia She will teach him some sophistication and ways of restraining various forces in the court. As for the three cardinal principles and five constant principles, Jia She will teach Jia Lian some of his own Opinion does not allow Jia Lian to grow into an idiot who is the king and minister, and serves the Situ family to death.For this society, these things are obviously very deviant; but for Jia Lian, they are accepted very quickly.

Even ordinary children are already sensible at the age of ten, not to mention Jia Lian who was forced to mature precociously.Now, Jia Lian already knows why he suddenly entered the palace as a companion, and what the situation of his father and son is.

A child who is about to enter adolescence already has a very fast awakening of self-awareness. Coupled with the special environment in which Jia Lian came out, a father he admired told him: It is not always important to take the role of the ruler and the minister in mind. If you are forced to, Princes, princes and generals should have kindness, which is the way to protect themselves.Jia Lian only felt that what his father said was the most reasonable and famous saying. As for what the husband said, some of them were reasonable, but some of them were not.

Seeing that Jia Lian accepted these ideas that were against the times and sounded a bit outrageous, Jia Amnesty breathed a sigh of relief.At least there is no need to worry that when the Japanese broke up with Emperor Jinghuai, this boy was taught to be loyal to the emperor, patriotic, pedantic and foolish by the Confucian scholars.

Seeing that his son was not raised badly, Jia Amnesty was half relieved.At Iron Net Mountain that day, Zhou Lin asked whether the Zhou family's Yufeng Jue was a skill, so besides himself, is there anyone else who can practice it?Now that Jia Lian is broken and sensible, he knows right from wrong, and knows how to hide his strength, so these things can be taught to him.

Speaking of the Yufeng Jue, it is quite miraculous that Jia She obtained it in the last days, as if it was poured into his brain in a dream, and there is no secret recipe.Based on his own understanding, Jia Amnesty started with the simple and easy to understand, and then passed it on to Jia Lian in as much detail as possible.

When Jia Lian heard about the exercises passed down from his great-grandmother, and also heard that his grandfather and father had been taught by his great-grandmother to have such a great skill, he naturally worked hard with all his energy.

At the beginning, Jia Lian didn't know how to get in. At the beginning, he was not discouraged, but after repeated failures, he became a little impetuous.Seeing this, Jia Amnesty didn't insist anymore, thinking that Yufeng Jue is not something everyone can practice.

As a half-grown child, it was when Mu Qiang was competitive again. Jia Lian got such a treasure, so naturally he refused to give up lightly, and continued to work hard as Jia Amnesty taught him over and over again.In order to find a way to practice for Jia Lian, Jia Amnesty also took out the jade pendant he got in the last days and the jade pendant he got in Tie Wang Shan for research, but there was still no progress.

Seeing that the father and son couldn't force it, Jia Amnesty told Jia Lian: It's okay to study and practice the exercises in private, but don't force it. If you feel unwell, you need to stop immediately.After all, it was about cultivation, and Jia Amnesty was worried that if something went wrong, something might go wrong.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with going crazy, no matter how hard Jia Lian tried, there was no response.Jia Lian was so angry that he had to work hard on martial arts.

As for Jia Amnesty, he has nothing else to worry about, and the remaining energy can be used to reorganize the property and concentrate on cultivation.

After more than a year of living like a desperado, Jia She didn't spend much time on cultivation, and his progress in cultivation was not much, but Jia She is very familiar with the current state.

In the apocalyptic world, Jia Shen's supernatural ability was cultivated step by step after awakening, and the current feeling is the critical state before breaking through; if the advanced level is successful, Jia Shen will be able to fly against the wind.But no matter how hard Jia Amnesty tried, that layer of window paper couldn't be pierced for a long time.For this reason, Jia Amnesty thought of many ways, and also took out the jade pendant obtained in the other village of Iron Net Mountain to study, but there was no progress.

The jade pendant obtained by Tiewangshan is in the shape of half a Taiji fish, except for a round white jade in the middle, the whole body is black ink jade; and the jade pendant Jia She obtained in the last days is also in the shape of half a Taiji fish, with a round circle in the middle. Shaped black jade, others are white jade.Putting the two pieces of jade pendant together creates a complete Tai Chi pattern, with black fish eyes on the white half and white fish eyes on the black half.

Jia She thought that combining the two jade pendants would activate some mechanism, but after trying several times, there was no response, so Jia She gave up temporarily and put the jade pendants into the space.

Apart from practicing, Jia Amnesty also asked Zuo Liang to find two trustworthy craftsmen.These two were originally masters of knife casting in Jia Daishan's army, and they had a good craft.Naturally, Jia Amnesty did not come to find them to forge swords, but to melt gold and silver.

Skilled swordsmiths have been able to smelt alloys in their own way, which is also the trick to forge weapons that cut iron like mud in ancient times.Although gold has a high melting point, it is not difficult for such a craftsman.

There is an open space between Shanyonghou Mansion and Ningguo Mansion. In the original book, it is the place where the Grand View Garden was built. When the third division investigated the theft case last time, they dug three feet to find the basement here.Because the court had plowed the place several times, it would not arouse suspicion, so Jia Amnesty built a house here, built a stove, and began to melt gold and silver.

Naturally, it was announced that Shanyonghou was obsessed with blacksmithing and made weapons at home.There were two swordsmiths acting as cover, and Jia She occasionally produced one or two knives. The name of Shanyonghou was engraved on the knives, very much like a lover.

In addition to making swords and swords to hide people's eyes and ears, Jia Amnesty and two craftsmen melted the gold and silver in the space, some of them were exchanged for silver notes and sent to Zhou Fu in the south, and some of them were sent to Zuo Liang to purchase materials nearby.

A few months later, it was time to harvest summer grain again. The materials Zhou Fu purchased in the south of the Yangtze River were mixed with the output of Zhuangzi under Jia She's name and sent to the capital.As for the output and purchased materials near the capital, they were also continuously transported into the warehouse of Shanyonghou Mansion and the grain store opened by Zuo Liang.Naturally, putting them into storage is just a cover, and these things will eventually be kept by Jia Amnesty's income space.

In addition to teaching his son and purchasing supplies, Jia Amnesty did one more thing.Dealing with Princess Yongchang's mansion.

Ever since Jia Amnesty returned to Beijing, Princess Yongchang's Mansion has been much more careful.Every move of Shanyonghou's mansion also fell into the eyes of Princess Yongchang's mansion.

Of course, with Jia Amnesty's keenness and hearing ability, he would not be unaware of this kind of surveillance.But Jia Amnesty did not pull out all the eyeliners in the Yongchang Princess Mansion.For one thing, even if he finds one to eradicate the other, the Yongchang Princess Mansion will still send people here continuously, and this will expose his own strength instead.Secondly, since Princess Yongchang's Mansion has its eye on him, Jia Amnesty doesn't mind misleading Princess Yongchang's mansion with his tricks.

Shanyonghou's Mansion occasionally finds out one or two stalkers, but Jia She occasionally reveals a clue to mislead Princess Yongchang's mansion, making Princess Yongchang's mansion feel that it is only Emperor Jinghuai who is on guard.

Princess Yongchang's Mansion separated Emperor Jinghuai and himself, and also Emperor Jinghuai and Xu Yan. This result can not only satisfy Princess Yongchang's mansion, but also make Princess Yongchang's mansion feel that its plan is working.Only by cultivating the self-confidence of Yongchang Princess Mansion can they make mistakes easily.

Because there were so many people staring at Shanyonghou's mansion, Jia She only went out occasionally, either to visit antique shops or to inspect the village.Because noble people are not allowed to leave Beijing without purpose, Jia Amnesty went to the suburbs of Beijing the farthest.

In order to mislead Princess Yongchang's mansion, Jia Amnesty did not send anyone to follow the direction of the princess' mansion.As long as the Situ family has internal strife, as long as they don't implicate themselves, as far as Jia Amnesty is concerned, there is no need to intervene.

On the other hand, there is good news from Northern Xinjiang.

The letter from Beijiang was naturally sent by Liu Xuan. The letter said that Lord Hou was well-informed and that Beijiang could indeed grow rice.The dozen or so stones of rice seized from the Tatar army were sown in winter, and this year there was a bumper harvest, which was not only enough to feed [-] soldiers and horses for a year, but also had a little surplus.In addition to the military rations transported by the imperial court, Liu Xuan's department now has sufficient food and grass, and can already recruit troops locally.

In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, and the frontier defenders were often damaged, so the generals of the defenders had the right to recruit troops.Of course, in order to prevent the imperial court from weakening its control over the frontier garrisons, the imperial court sent supervisors to the garrisons.The number of casualties and new recruits are recorded and sent to the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War will distribute supplies, food and salaries according to the roster.

After reading Liu Xuan's letter, Jia She smiled lightly.The black soil in Northeast China is very fertile. When rice is planted, the yield is much higher than that of local crops such as sorghum and soybeans. Rice is the staple food, and its expansion rate after cooking is higher than that of many crops. The same grain of grain is enough for more people to eat .The bitter cold in northern Xinjiang, the fact that the Liuxuan tribe has a lot of food alone, can attract many locals to join the army.

Emperor Jinghuai deliberately let Liu Xuan and Nie Kaicheng's department check each other, so even if Liu Xuan's department produced a large amount of output, the imperial court's supplies to Liu Xuan's department would not be withheld too much.Liuxuan's department will continue to grow in the next two years.Of course, with Emperor Jinghuai's suspicion and the method of Yongchang Princess Palace separating Emperor Jinghuai and important ministers of humerus, the Liuxuan Department will grow for another year or two, and both Princess Yongchang Palace and Emperor Jinghuai will not be able to sit still.

In addition, Liu Xuan still said in her heart that she wanted to take her family to northern Xinjiang.

Liu Xuan is nominally an official of Prince Jing's Mansion. If there is no accident, guarding the northern border will probably be a lifetime job.Because the last time I left Beijing, the situation was urgent, and the soldiers did not bring their children with them.Now that Liu Xuan has made great contributions in the First World War in Northern Xinjiang, she was rewarded by the imperial court. She also recruited troops to enrich her strength, planted rice and had sufficient food and grass, so she decided to take her wife and children to the regiment in Northern Xinjiang.

Naturally, Liu Xuan was not the only one who wanted to pick up the family.Liu Xuan took [-] officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp to northern Xinjiang. Among them, most of the relatives of the soldiers who became families were in the capital, so Liu Xuan asked Jia She to organize the families who wanted to pick up the family and go north. If there are too many people, you will not be afraid of encountering bandits.

It was not a big deal, those families who wanted to go north together also wrote letters to inform their family members, Jia Amnesty only needed to send someone to organize it, and a few more guides would be enough.

However, no matter how strong Liu Xuan's troops were, the speculation that the court could not let him down was very important, and Jia She had to remind him one or two times.He wrote his conjecture cryptically and put it in the envelope, and just sealed it with wax paint, Zuo Liang came.

Zuo Liang usually would not come to the Hou Mansion if it was not important.Jia Amnesty ordered Zuo Liang to come in, and at the same time put the letter into the space.

The longer we get along, the more Zuo Liang knows that Jia She is straightforward. After clasping his fists and saluting, Zuo Liang cut to the chase and said straight to the point: "Master Hou, my subordinates were ordered to buy food in various places, and found that there is another group of people who are also secretly talking to us. fight."

Hearing this, Jia Amnesty raised his eyebrows and had some guesses in his heart, but he didn't interrupt Zuo Liang.

Sure enough, I heard Zuo Liang continue: "The subordinates have sent people to follow up with another group of people who bought grain secretly, and found that most of the grain was shipped to Manding Grain and its branches in Jinzhong, Hengshui and other places; After visiting Manding grain stores in various places for a while, I found that Manding grain stores would send people to Princess Yongchang's mansion in the capital every few days.

Princess Yongchang is the emperor's aunt, and she also has the merits of assisting the country. Her subordinates originally thought that it is not surprising that there are some properties in Princess Yongchang's mansion.However, the Manding Grain Shop bought too much grain and rice, so the subordinates inquired about the business of the Manding Grain Shop.

It was found that the price of Manding grain was not high, so the business was decent.But Man Ding Grain Shop sells almost all old rice and old grain, and because it is cheap, many poor people buy it.However, if you want to sell at a good price, you need to do more new grain business, so that the grain business can make a profit.If you buy new rice every year, sell old grain, and discount the loss, this huge Manding grain store will not only make no profit, but will be doing a low-cost business instead.This business is done, I'm afraid the ulterior motives are not drinking. "

After finishing speaking, Zuo Liang looked at Jia She thoughtfully.Obviously, he had his own guesses, but he didn't go any further.

He was worthy of being the spy of Jia Daishan, the ever-victorious general Rong Guogong, with such acumen, without anyone's order to remind him, he could spy on the general's situation clearly, and he could also catch the vital point with one blow.A single tree would not make a forest, and if it weren't for such capable people around him to help him, no matter how outstanding Jia Daishan was, it would be difficult for him to become the only one among the Eight Dukes who was equal to the title.

Zuo Liang was originally a capable general in Jia Daishan's army, so he was so keen on food and grass matters.The method of buying new grain and selling old grain at the Manding Grain Store is exactly the way to store grain and grass.

Even in later generations, there are warehouses with constant temperature and humidity, and various rodent and insect control equipment, so it is quite difficult to store food.If food is stored for a long time, it will deteriorate.Therefore, to store grain in ancient times, in addition to setting up huge warehouses, there must be a large number of airtight containers in the warehouse to ensure that the grain is less eaten by insects and rats as much as possible.

Therefore, when storing grain, every year when new grain comes up, it is necessary to replace the old grain stored in the previous year.This year's losses are all losses.However, in order to prevent military disasters and famines, no matter whether it is the imperial court, the local government, or the big family, as long as they have the spare capacity, they will store food.

But the scale of reserves like Manding Grain Bank is still staggering.

Jia She smiled: "Now the third master knows why I store food and grass."

Zuo Liang's face was full of seriousness. With his keenness, since he could detect that there might be an inside story behind the large-scale purchase of food by the Princess Yongchang's mansion, he naturally knew that the scale of Jia Amnesty's procurement of supplies was much more than what a Marquis' mansion needed.It's just that he was originally Jia Daishan's family general, and he was greatly favored by the Duke of the country. Jia's amnesty didn't mention it, so it's inconvenient for him to say so.

Now, with the matter of Princess Yongchang's mansion, Jia She simply speaks out.

After pondering for a while, Zuo Liang said: "Master Hou, for such a big event, Master Hou is not afraid that I will sell Master Hou to fight for a rich future?"

Jia She shook his head resolutely: "If the third master values ​​the future of wealth and honor, there is no need to remove his armor with his father. I can trust the third master."

It's not that Zuo Liang doesn't care about the future of wealth and honor, but he has followed Jia Daishan for many years, he knows why the Duke of the State retreated and retreated, and he also knows Emperor Jinghuai's temper.Emperor Jinghuai didn't want the Duke of Guo to become powerful, so he naturally wouldn't use the Duke's cronies.Even if he stayed in the army back then, his future was limited.Zuo Liangzhiyin, like Jia Daishanzhiyin, is a hero who knows current affairs.

But is Zuo Liang really willing?Most of the time, Zuo Liang feels that he is willing, but when he dreams back at midnight, he occasionally feels that there are many people who are not as capable as him, and now they have made great achievements.

When he joined the army, who didn't aim to make meritorious deeds?Those years of fighting on the battlefield and blood staining the battle armor, was it just to hide in the busy city?It's not that Zuo Liang has no ambitions, but he has to give up his ambitions.

Now what Jia Amnesty is planning is a matter of winning the king and defeating the bandit, as long as he decides to fight, there is no way out.After several years of getting along, Zuo Liang knows Jia She's ability and also knows Jia She's situation.But with only one Marquis Mansion, it was too weak to face the strength of the court after all.

"Master Hou, if Master Hou decides, this subordinate will be the vanguard officer of Lord Hou. It's just this step, Lord Hou needs to think about it. With Master Hou's ability, choose a prince to help you, I'm afraid even several princes can't ask for it." With the help of Lord Hou, that prince will be even more powerful. Although this method is not as expensive as the road that Lord Hou is taking now, it is more secure." Zuo Liang analyzed seriously.

Jia She sighed lightly: "To tell the truth, I just wanted to keep my ancestral foundation, and I didn't even want to fight for the success of the dragon. But the third master also saw that I was dragged into chaos step by step, and it was not my intention." The result of drilling, but I have no way out.

As the third master said, I can choose a prince to follow, but the success or failure of this move is still unpredictable. Even if it succeeds, it is just walking the road my father walked again, and Lian'er will still be in the embarrassment I am today Even if they are in a difficult situation, they will not necessarily be able to keep their ancestral foundation if they do their best.Now, what I'm fighting for is not the foundation of eternal life, but the way to live happily. "

That's right, what Jia Xie fought for was just a happy way of life.You don't have to live in Lixiangyuan like Jia Daishan, and you don't have to avoid disaster like Jia Jing's Taoist temple before.But in Jia She's current position, the only way to live happily is to change the dynasty.

After hearing this, Zuo Liang was silent for a while, and after careful consideration, he said: "A man should live a vigorous life. I have had enough of this life of bound hands and feet, and I will do it with the Marquis!"
