He Shen

The day of returning to Beijing was earlier than expected, and Shanbao still had time to attend Xueya's big wedding.

Shanbao gave Xueya some private money, and Dong E's family also had a share. Dong E's family felt that the banknotes were hot, Shanbao smiled, "During the southern tour, the filial piety of the subordinates, I was by the seventh elder brother's side. , also got a share."

The rich and wealthy in the south of the Yangtze River, the wealthy salt merchants, and the most famous ones are all somewhat cut off from the Beijing Palace, not to mention Fukang'an's status, they may not find a way to curry favor.Shanbao asked Liu Quan'er to go to the south of the Yangtze River according to the time, intending to spread the rouge and gouache business, but these people are very well informed, and several good shops have collected some money symbolically, and they didn't mention blessings at all. Kang An.

Shanbao is not a fool, he knows what the price of a store in Hangzhou is, but these businessmen are moving faster than he imagined, and now he is only a second-class guard, could these people calculate the price of his next twenty years? The fox pretends to be the tiger, and the prime minister is beautiful.

The water is clear and there are no fish.

Shanbao was not pretentious, he only accepted it as unknown, but he also knew that this was a small trick of the Haining salt merchant Cheng's family.

Shanbao has always done things without leaving any troubles. The amount of silver taels in the shop's sales contract is more expensive than the market price. When the actual delivery is made, everyone knows it well.Furthermore, the buyer signed in the name of Liu Quan. Rao Yi, the shopkeeper of the Cheng family, has decades of business experience and admires Shanbao's care.He was even more sure that this person was not someone in the pool, and secretly prepared a generous gift for Shanbao.

Shanbao changed hands and divided the money into two parts, one part was given to the eldest sister to press the bottom of the box, and the other part was given to Dong E's.He will only entertain more in the future, the family business has not been divided, and Dong E's arrangement for the ceremony is arranged by Dong E's family. Shanbao and Dong E's relationship are not close, but he is grateful to Dong E's thoughtfulness.

Just after Xueya got married, there was news that Xia Yingying, who was dissatisfied with the soil and water on the way to Beijing, died early.

Shanbao was silent for a while, thinking about Fu Heng's advice, he felt chills in his heart, wondering if this matter was related to Fucha's family.However, according to Fu Heng's prudence, if there is something involved, he will never be reminded so bluntly. Even if it has nothing to do, Fu Heng must be an insider.

Qianlong was ill, no one else saw him, so he only announced Ziwei into the palace, dragged Ziwei's hand to recall Xia Yuhe, and then talked about Xia Yuhe's family, Xia Yingying, when thinking about the similarities between Xia Yuhe and Xia Yingying, tears flickered in the corners of his eyes, which attracted The sentimental Ziwei also cried a few times along with her.

The Empress Dowager said privately to Nanny Gui, "There are some people who are so poorly blessed. Even if a great blessing is bestowed upon her, they can't stand it. Instead, they folded."

After Xia Yingying's death, the queen mother felt comfortable and cared for her son, "The emperor has always been very affectionate, so it's better for Aijia to enlighten him." As he said that, he was about to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. The palace sent people to announce the good news, and Qifujin is happy.

The status of the first son and grandson has always been honorable, and when Qianlong, who was sick, heard about the happy event in the Chonghua Palace, his illness was half cured.

It has to be said that Fukang'an has a super ability to sow seeds. Shanbao inquired with Fukang'an in private, and Fukang'an pointed him out, "Women are easy to conceive for a few days."

I rely on!People's ancient medical knowledge is not backward at all.

Shanbao laughed, "I thought you had eaten tiger penis and deer blood."

Fukang'an was overjoyed, "Shanbao, are you jealous!"

Eat your mother's head.

A few days after Fukang'an was happy, Fuling'an's three-year infantry yamen commander had expired and was transferred to Guangzhou General.Niu Hulu Yingbao, the nephew of the Empress Dowager's family, took over the command of the infantry yamen.

Fu Kang'an was taught by Fu Heng since he was a child. He naturally understood the importance of military power. Military power is more important and stable than all rights. It is far more convincing than the words of those literati. For the green battalion infantry, one-third of the military power in the capital is in the hands of the infantry yamen.

Fukang'an hadn't recovered yet, Qianlong issued another decree, and Mingrui, the admiral of the nine gates, was ordered to form a new army, and the post of admiral of the nine gates was taken over by E Min.

At the same time, Chen Bang was directly transferred to the capital as the minister of the Ministry of officials.

In just half a month, in the capital, the Fucha family released their military power.The front of Fu Cha's house has changed from a bustling traffic to a crowded house. Shanbao wonders if Qianlong blamed Fu Cha's house for Xia Yingying's incident.

Fukang'an had no idea, so he sent Shanbao to his uncle's house to inquire about the situation.Fu Heng calmly said, "Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king. The world is the world of Long Live. The capital is the capital of the emperor. Long Live's move shows the emperor's wise and decisive. Fu Ling'an's transfer is my intention. Tiao Mingrui returned to Beijing The original intention was to form a new army.”

Shanbao felt a little relieved, and Fukang'an didn't have to suffer from insomnia.

In June, Chonghua Palace added the eldest son and the second son.It is a happy event.

To Shanbao's surprise, at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, Fujin Zhihua on the side of the Jingyang Palace had good news about being diagnosed.Then Chen Bangzhi wrote a letter, requesting that the shipping department be formally included in the household department.

Yin Jishan's fourth son Qing Gui, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, objected, "The transportation department is closely related to water transportation. I think it is appropriate to merge into the Ministry of Industry."

The two sides were arguing endlessly, and there was no contest in the early court. Qianlong ordered another discussion.

At the same time, Babaili, Yunnan, urgently reported that Burma was invading the border, and Governor Liu Zao was defeated and committed suicide.

The trivial matters of the carrier were ignored, and the Military Aircraft Department began to discuss the war in Burma.The memorial to the battle flew into the military plane of the upper study like a snowflake, and even Ali Gon kept an eye on Burma, ready to let his two sons go to earn some military merit.

Fukang'an studied politics with Qianlong every day, and he was also very concerned about the Burmese issue. He was gearing up and said to Shanbao, "It's a pity that Huang Ama doesn't allow me to go, otherwise give me [-] elite soldiers, and I will be able to defeat the fierce white people." Palace."

"Just brag." Shanbao smiled, hugging the hand stove to keep warm.

Fukang'an became anxious all of a sudden, "You look down on me, right? Come here, and have a few tricks with me." Then he pinched Shanbao's shoulder, and Shanbao smiled and slapped Fukang'an's hand, "Stop making trouble, the emperor will Who is the main general?"

Fukang'an lost interest, and leaned lazily on the couch, "Big scholar Yang Yingju. I wanted to recommend Feng Shenger and Buyan Dalai to follow the experience. The fifth brother immediately said that Xiao Jian had lived in Yunnan and was familiar with it." Shanshui geography, wanted Xiao Jian to join the army, but in the end Huang Ama refused, and Yang Yingju was appointed."

"That's fine too."

"What's the matter, Yang Yingju was recommended by Chen Bangzhi." Fukang'an frowned, took a cup of tea and drank a few sips of water to moisten his throat, "If a scholar has thousands of households, after this war, Yang Yingju will bestow a noble title, and it will be safe to enter the military plane It's gone."

"What about the food and grass? With so many people, where will the food and grass come from?"

"Jiangnan." Fu Kangan said, "Jiangnan was originally the granary of the world. The Ministry of Households can only transfer 800 million yuan in a short time, and the rest of the money is also obtained from Jiangnan Remuneration Collection."

Shanbao didn't understand.

Fukang'an explained, "Salt merchants donate."

"Soldiers and horses have not moved, food and grass go first. Paying for food and grass is also a great achievement." Since the military exploits cannot be reaped, it is also good to get some other credit.

"Huang Ama handed over this task to Chen Bangzhi." Fukang'an sighed faintly, "The Chen family is the No. 1 family in Haining, and it is related to the Cheng family in Haining."

"The Cheng family is the big salt merchant in Haining, the Cheng family?" The Cheng family who gave him gifts?

"You've also heard of his family." The Cheng family is also well-known among salt merchants. Fukang'an did not have any doubts, and nodded, "The Cheng family has several generations of salt merchants, the family is rich, and Huang Ama made his first southern tour. His family donated millions of grains of silver to build a palace for Huang Ama, and Huang Ama rewarded him with a seven-rank crown, which was decent. He was one of the most famous salt merchants in the country, and Chen Bang went straight there, with half the effort. , for you and I just stand aside and watch."

Shanbao frowned, and asked softly, "Do you think the emperor knew that there was going to be a battle, and specially sent Chen Bang to go straight to Beijing, so that he could ask the salt merchant for money."

"There was no battle report before!" Fu Kang'an still had this confidence. If there had been a battle report earlier, he would not have been able to hide it from Fu Heng.

Shanbao shook his head, "I mean, has the emperor made any careful arrangements in Burma? If so, the news of Mengbai's ascension to the throne will never be hidden from the emperor. Mengbai's battle is aimed at consolidating the throne," Shanbao said, rubbing his clean chin , "The idea of ​​being an emperor in the world will not be too different. If the emperor thinks that there may be changes in Burma, he must also think about food and grass besides dispatching troops. The Chen family has been in the south of the Yangtze River for many years, and the local snake..." The words were a little confusing, Shan Bao I took a pen and paper from the case, and wrote down in one stroke, "The Chen family, a century-old family in the south of the Yangtze River, is married to the salt merchant Cheng's family. The first step is that Chen Zhihua enters Jingyang Palace, and the fifth elder brother has a relatively strong hand." The family of wives increased the weight of Jingyang Palace and prevented Chonghua Palace from dominating; the second step was to quickly reduce the influence of the Fucha family in the capital, summon Chen Bangzhi to Beijing, and grant real power to the Jingyang Palace. " Shanbao glanced at Fukang'an, saw that he was normal, he felt relieved, and said with a smile, "The one who benefited the most from a short trip to the south turned out to be Jingyang Palace."

"The third step is the battle between China and Burma." Shanbao's handwriting is beautiful, "The main general Yang Yingju is friendly with the Chen family, and the grain and grass are paid to Chen Bangzhi. If this battle is won, Yang Yingju and Chen Bangzhi will be promoted, and Yang Yingju's generals will be promoted I'm afraid there will be many people who are optimistic about Jingyang Palace. If this battle is defeated, all the previous efforts of the emperor to praise the fifth elder brother will be in vain. Yang Yingju and Chen Bangzhi will also be implicated. Yu Shi can't let them go, Rao is the emperor It’s also hard to favoritism.”

Otherwise, find a way to defeat Yang Yingju.

Shanbao frightened himself half to death. War is different from the contest between the politicians of the DPRK and China.

Fukang'an shook his head, and said decisively, "No, how can you spend this money to transfer so many soldiers to go, how can you ruin them all for your own selfishness! If you want to use such a despicable method, I'm afraid there will be no good luck in the future!"

Shanbao felt guilty, lost his temper when he was given Fukang's security training for the first time, and murmured, "I, I didn't say anything."

"Okay, there's no need to mention this matter again." Fu Kang'an said calmly, "No matter what Huang Ama thinks, there is nothing wrong with being a son and being filial in everything."
