Jia Zheng Wucai in the Red Chamber

Jia Zheng was in a trance, only felt that the east wind was blowing a bit strong today, but it made his ears fail and he misheard.

After going to pay his respects to Jia Shishi, and hearing people say that Jia Amnesty is not stingy and willful, he suddenly came to his senses. He, the legendary playboy brother, is really determined to build an academy.

Regarding this ambition, Jia Zheng can only express that he is rich and self-willed.

"Let's make trouble with the boss." Jia Shishi said for a while, suppressed his voice, and whispered: "Anyway, if you don't come out from the public, you can also see how much money that person has left for him."

Jia Zheng glanced at Jia Shishi in a daze.

"Hey..." Jia Shishi sighed deeply, "They are both grandchildren, but they are so partial! But after all, they are vulgar and not very knowledgeable, but they have cultivated the boss to have this kind of virtue."

Hearing Jia Shishi's triumphant ending at the end, Jia Zheng instantly understood the reason.Since ancient times, there have been disputes between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, especially the rural mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law born in a high-end courtyard, there is a huge gap between them.

Unable to tell who is right and who is wrong, Jia Zheng persuaded: "It's all over." Then he said goodbye and went back to the study to rest.He might be busy next time.

But he never expected that he would set a flag for himself.

Adhering to the principle of holding a chicken feather as an arrow, he worked diligently and painstakingly, and even ordered people to recruit workers with good money, and prepared to work overtime to strengthen all the river defenses in the capital area.

Looking at "Jia Zheng"'s honesty, or the energy of not short of money, it is so clear that the officials who are waiting and watching these days are all officials, big and small, from the Ministry of Industry.

This money...Jia Zheng's money has not gone through the financial review of the Ministry at all! ! !

Such a big good thing happened, even the minister of the Ministry of Industry didn't know how to talk about it. Taking advantage of the monthly reports from various departments, he specially asked Li Shilang to bring Jia Zheng together.

When the parties arrived, Shangshu invited his confidants, and they all sat around the stove and expressed their views on Jia Zheng.

"That Jia Zheng is just a fledgling, young people, they all have a pure heart. This is a good thing. I think that when I was young, I was not full of enthusiasm."

"Master Li is right." Someone laughed and said, "It is said that Jia Zheng only read the books of sages and sages in the past, and he never cared much about yellow and white things. What the official sees is completely capable of doing what he pays for himself." As he said, his voice was suppressed a bit, and he said: "Compared to the three melons and two dates we squeezed out of our teeth before, our Jia Yuanwailang It’s really generous, what we have to do now is how to make the other party willing not to mention the source of the money.”

Minister of the Ministry of Industry nodded his head, and after summarizing the opinions of his subordinates, he had a plan in mind, and he was going to hold Jia Zheng first after the meeting.

Jia Zheng had already spent several days in the outskirts of the city when he received the news of attending the meeting, and now he rushed back with his clothes all wrinkled, and he didn't have the demeanor of a nobleman.

At the moment when she stepped into the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, Jia Zhen turned her head to look at the gloomy sky, and prayed silently.

He is ready to cheat the whole department, but this weather is still a feudal superstition for a while, begging God not to rain snow, otherwise his continuous processing for more than half a month will have no effect at all.

As soon as he entered the meeting hall, Jia Zheng subconsciously froze with the warm breath coming towards him.

"Jia Yuanwailang, sit with me." Li Shilang led Jia Zheng to sit down, and introduced the adults in a low voice.

Jia Zheng saluted one by one and exchanged pleasantries.

When all the staff from the various departments of the Ministry of Industry arrived, Shang Shu paced and sat at the head, and as usual talked about the handling of government affairs by each department this month. Naturally, the topic led to the governance of the capital's river defense this month.

Li Shilang didn't know what Shangshu meant, and at the same time he was also worried about Jia Zheng's slack, he got up and replied: "Return to the Ministry Hall, Jia Yuanwailang is fully responsible for this, why don't you let him report to you?"

As if noticing Jia Zheng for the first time, Shangshu took a careful look at Jia Zheng, and said with some kindness: "As the saying goes, a tiger father has no dogs. When I see Jia Yuanwailang, I vaguely seem to see him. Rong Guogong. Look at this whole body style, really worthy of being the queen of Rong Guo."

"Thank you for your praise, my lord." Jia Zheng replied neither humble nor overbearing, and reported the current situation of the capital's river defense in a leisurely manner.

The people present listened to the detailed reports of which districts and towns had built which river embankments and reinforced bridges, etc., with different expressions and thoughts.But regardless of their thoughts, they are all concerned about one thing - where does the money come from?

You must know that the Ministry of Industry has limited funds, and the allocation to each division is even less.Just hearing Jia Zheng's non-stop reports, he felt that the money was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The one who was impatient, said directly: "Master Jia, you said so, but as far as I know, the River Defense Division has not allocated any unplanned project funds to you."

Jia Zheng nodded, smiled and took out a stack of paperwork from his pocket: "No, so this is a project payment that needs to be settled."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay and glanced at each other, Qi Qi was surprised: "What?"

"I have applied for countless property requests, but there is no news." Jia Zheng glanced at the expressions of the crowd, lowered his eyes, and said obediently: "But the construction time can't be delayed. I thought about it, and went up again." I had nowhere to ask for advice, so I wanted to go to the Ministry of Households to borrow some money to get through this for the time being. But I thought it would be impossible to skip the rank, so I made a guarantee to the engineer of the store in the name of the Ministry of Industry."

"It's unreasonable!" The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, who had a kind face, trembled when he heard the words, and stood up and pointed at Jia Zheng: "You..."

Want to scold but don't know what to scold!

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Jia Zheng's superior, Yuan Shilang. The Shang Shu had just opened his mouth and was about to accuse Sang and scold Huai, when he saw Jia Zheng kneel down with a plop, and quickly took off his official hat, solemnly put it aside, and said, "Zheng knows this. I have overstepped the rules, but the matter is urgent, and I am willing to take it on my own." He used "□□reimbursement" to cheat the Ministry of Industry for a sum of money, and then took the blame and resigned.

Although this matter may bury a stain on Jia Zheng's future political career, for him, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Seeing Jia Zheng's attitude, Yuan Shilang was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother.This Jia Zheng is simply a disaster.It's easy for others to resign from office. A servant of the fourth rank like him, who was appointed by the official department, can't be the emperor at all, and even the powerful officials can't look down on him.But Jia Zheng was different. This broom star had a good father, so he was gifted with a family background.As an official, he is registered with the emperor, and he resigns wherever he can speak.

Then if the emperor finds out the reason, even if the Ministry of Industry works together, they will not be able to wash away their grievances.

After all, as for the actual construction status of the project, anyone who smashed a bridge on the outskirts of the capital would have a good idea of ​​it.

"Lord Jia, let's go home and rest for a few days." Shang Shu said with a livid expression.After finishing speaking, he quickly asked the yamen servant to invite the person out.

Then the door of the lobby closed with a snort. reads;.

Jia Zheng came out of the warm room, faced the howling wind, tightly wrapped his clothes, and sighed silently.

"My lord, how is the situation?" Seeing Jia Zheng coming out, the Zaolis who had become acquainted with him gathered around and asked.

"Shangfeng is still under discussion." Jia Zheng pursed his lips and smiled.After more than half a month of getting along, although he didn't deliberately change his image among his subordinates, he also subtly changed Jia Zheng's noble appearance.

"Ah That's good!"

"Then..." Looking at the carefree middle-aged man, Jia Zheng raised his eyes to look at the increasingly gloomy sky, and said, "It depends on God after all." If the sky is fine, he will also protect him and treat him a little A loyal subordinate, he will not let anyone be dragged down by him and lose their jobs. If it is really snowing, he will pray that he can build more bridges and roads.

However, reality will not change direction after a few prayers.

Before Jia Zheng returned to Rong Mansion, the feather-like snow fell down.When I entered the Rongxi Hall, I heard Jia Lian's happy cheers beside the porch: "It's snowing, Auntie, I want to go out to play."

"Mom, I want to play too."

Jia Zheng turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw Jia Lian, who was dressed like a little golden boy, was surrounded by servants and went into the yard, and behind him stood the eager Yuan Chun.

When Mrs. Wang saw Jia Zheng coming back, she was still in a daze for a while, and couldn't help but look at the sky.You must know that Jia Zheng has almost returned home in the past half month. If she hadn't sent someone to follow, she would have gone to inspect the river defense, otherwise she would have thought that she had learned from someone.

"Master, you're back? The kitchen is still warming chicken soup. You can drink some to warm yourself up." Mrs. Wang Fuli said with concern.

Jia Zheng nodded, "It's enough to send someone to get it. You should watch the children more, so as not to get cold."

"Yeah." Mrs. Wang smiled: "As soon as the weather turns cold, I will send a servant to the Imperial College to deliver some clothes to Zhu'er."

"Thank you for your hard work too." Jia Zheng said, looking at Jia Lian and Yuan Chun who came to greet him, bent down, and asked a few words in a soft voice, listening to the childish voice of sadness, "Brother is not around, no one is with me", "New work" The clothes don’t look good” and so on worried, and smiled softly.

After traveling for more than half a month, he was momentarily grateful that Jia Zheng's body was occupied by an inexplicable force.

He fully enjoyed the interests of a feudal upper class.

After seeing off the child, and ignoring some of Mrs. Wang's hints, Jia Zheng sat in the study, quietly watching the snow drift bigger and thicker outside the window.

It snowed heavily for four days and five nights before it cleared up.

Facing the warm sun that had just come out of the cloud bed, Jia Zheng was about to go out to inquire about the conditions of the people around him, but unexpectedly a large heater slammed into his back.

"Damn it, Jia Er Er, the solution you said is to be resigned?" Jia She was furious, "How long are you going to deceive us?"

"Brother, are you finally home?" Jia Zheng turned away from the stove, avoiding the topic, and asked rhetorically.Ever since Mr. Jia inspired to build the academy, the east courtyard has been under construction, and Jia Amnesty can't even see anyone, and he hasn't even heard of it where he is said to go.

"Why are you finally home? Master, I'm already at home, okay?" Jia She was even more angry.He just got a pre-Qin treasure and stayed in his underground treasure house for a few days, but when he went out, everything changed!

Jia Zheng: "..."

Seeing Jia She raising his arms as if he was going to pick a bully from the Ministry of Industry, Jia Zheng sighed, pointed to the snow on the side of the road, and said, "This snow has helped me a lot, and within three days, the Ministry of Industry will definitely meet you." Shuffle."
