History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]
Chapter 161
Minning's expression became serious, "Are you planning to deal with the salt administration?"
Fourth Master took a sip of tea, then nodded, "Illegal salt is rampant in the south of the Yangtze River, mainly concentrated in the Zhejiang area. Most of the salt on the market today is illegal salt."
"What are you going to do with it?"
Fourth Master put down his teacup and said, "I plan to ask Chaocheng tomorrow morning for advice."
Minning nodded. In fact, she already had some small thoughts in her heart, but he didn't ask her at present, and he didn't express his thoughts for the time being.
The next day was the grand court, and fourth master threw this topic out.
Those who reformed the Yanzheng court had already noticed it. After all, the following emperor did not like drastic reforms, and it would be a matter of time before he wanted to intervene in the Yanzheng.
All kinds of things have been straightened out in the past two years, and the emperor should make a big move.
As soon as the topic of fourth master was brought up, many ministers present discussed in low voices. For a moment, the entire Zhengda Guangming Palace seemed like a vegetable market.
Fourth master scanned around and asked a few people, but the answers he got were all unsatisfactory, and then he looked at Li Wei who had just returned to Beijing.
Li Wei had trained in Japan for a period of time, and he was no longer a boy who just entered the officialdom. Yesterday, the fourth master sent someone to question him. Today, he just sneaked out to ask him what his ideas are?
"Li Wei, what do you think?"
Li Wei stood up and told the solution that Lian Ye had come up with with his staff.
"Your minister thinks that officers and soldiers can be set up to patrol the places where smugglers often come and go in Zhejiang, and order Chang Zhendao, General Jingkou, Deputy General of Military Standards and other officials to supervise the generals and officials to patrol by land and water, so as to strictly prevent the smuggled salt from the two Huaihe Rivers from invading Zhejiang salt from Zhenjiang Prefecture. marketing area, so as to guarantee the sales of Zhejiang Salt.”
Fourth Master blurted out, "Okay!"
This method is really good. It directly eliminates the way for private salt to be sold, and it must be able to dispel the madness of salt lords.
After Si Ye got this plan, he asked other people, and seeing no one vetoed it, please pass down the imperial decree and order Li Wei to do it.
After the court, the fourth master turned around and went to the Changchun Garden. The Supreme Emperor had already learned what happened in the early court. He was busy watering the flowers, but he turned a blind eye when he saw his son coming.
The flooded area of private salt is in Haining County, which is under the jurisdiction of the Cao family. If the Cao family doesn't know about it, Fourth Master can't believe it.
The Supreme Emperor probably understood what the fourth child was thinking. The fourth child was quietly cutting off his veterans.
Private salt should be taken care of, but it is actually the Cao family that is the thorn in the heart of the fourth child.
The fourth master stood aside and watched the Supreme Emperor water the potted plants. After the Supreme Emperor finished it slowly, he said, "I don't care what you want to do with the private salt matter. However, the only old ministers left, It's better to be decent."
The fourth child ascended the throne, and wanted to rule out dissidents and control the entire court, the Supreme Emperor didn't understand.
For the emperor who is as loyal as the Cao family, it is the thorn in the south of the Yangtze River. If it is not removed, for the emperor on the throne, it is impossible for the emperor in the south of the Yangtze River to have unimpeded government orders.
So this formed a rebuttal, on the one hand, he wanted to revitalize the entire Jiangnan, and on the other hand, he belonged to the confidant of the Supreme Emperor.
The Supreme Emperor naturally understands this truth. If he doesn't move the Cao family for the time being, it's just that the Cao family is loyal to him, and he doesn't want to chill the old minister's heart.
Even if the fourth child wanted to move, it would have to wait until he was dead.
After all, the Supreme Emperor knew in his heart what the Cao family had done these years, and it would definitely not end well.
In fact, the Cao family also took the blame for him. The Supreme Emperor went to the south of the Yangtze River several times, and the money spent was all paid by the Cao family.
The purpose of handing over the weaving bureau to Cao's family was to let him subsidize it.
As for the Yanzheng, the Supreme Emperor believed that the Cao family would live up to his hopes.
The Salt Administration cannot intervene, the Cao family should understand.
Of course if you intervene...
The Supreme Emperor pulled out a weed in the potted plant.
The fourth master bent slightly, "The sons of these veteran ministers will naturally treat them with respect. If these veteran ministers have not failed Khan Ama's painstaking efforts in this inspection of the salt administration, my son will not accuse him of innocence."
The Supreme Emperor nodded, and the father and son set the tone of the matter in a few sentences.
It can be checked that if anyone intervenes, they will cut off the outstretched hand directly, but they can't hurt the old officials of the Supreme Emperor.
After getting permission from the Supreme Emperor, Fourth Master returned to Yuanmingyuan.
After returning to Yuanmingyuan, remembering what Minning mentioned last night, he waved his hand and wrote an imperial decree, which was sent to the clan mansion for record.
After receiving the imperial decree, the clan's mansion quickly included Lin's daughter in Yudie.
Then the steward of the clan's mansion went directly to Rongguo mansion to pass on the imperial edict.
After the Jia family obtained the will of the concubine, the whole family became excited, and even received congratulatory gifts from various relatives.
On this day, all the young and old in Jia's mansion began to discuss the establishment of the Grand View Garden of the "Family Visiting Courtyard". Gao Gang discussed how much taels of silver each household should pay, and then he heard a young servant running in.
"My lord, there are high-ranking officials outside to deliver the imperial decree!"
Jia Zheng and the others suddenly stood up. Jia Zheng and Jia She looked at each other and said in unison, "Hurry up and get the imperial edict."
Mrs. Wang, who was also sitting at Mrs. Jia's place, also got the news, and immediately became very happy. It must be Yuan Chun who got the reward again, otherwise the imperial decree would not have been passed on to her family. Could it be that she begged the Lord Long Live to grant her an imperial order? .
At the same time, she was a little worried that Yuan Chun hadn't secured her position yet, and now she was asking for a reward from the emperor, wondering if it would drag her down in the emperor's eyes.
In any case, it is a good thing that the imperial decree came to the family. Mrs. Wang followed Mrs. Jia to the front yard happily.
On the other side of the front yard, the table has been set up, waiting for the adults who came to declare the decree.
The junior official of the clan's mansion glanced at the crowd, and then asked, "Have all the masters of the mansion come over?"
Mrs. Jia took a glance and found that her precious grandson Jin and granddaughter Daiyu hadn't come, so she hurriedly sent someone to look for them.
It took another half an hour for them to arrive. Seeing that her son and Daiyu had arrived late, Mrs. Wang secretly gave Daiyu a look, but fortunately no one noticed.
The petty official began to announce the imperial edict only after seeing the owner of the imperial edict had arrived. As for whether other people came or not, it was not up to him.
"By God's fortune, the emperor said, first inspected the salt censor Linhai for ten years in charge of the salt government, and I heard that there is only one daughter left in the Lin family, who is loyal and loyal in Linhai... Now the daughter of the Lin family is Dorogege, This is it."
This sudden imperial decree made the Jia family dumbfounded. It turns out that this imperial decree has nothing to do with Yuanchun.
As for Mrs. Wang, because she guessed the will wrongly, she only felt her head buzzing, but she still clenched her fists tightly, not allowing herself to show any strangeness.
On the contrary, Mrs. Jia was very happy. After thanking the Lord for his kindness, she stood up and signaled Daiyu to accept the imperial edict.
Daiyu was still a little dazed, and when she realized that the imperial decree should be related to her father, she shed tears sadly.
Unexpectedly, before her death, her father had already arranged for her to ask for a Dorogege status. With this status, she would be blessed by the royal family. No matter if she married in the future or was in her boudoir, no one would be able to bully her.
Although Daiyu was raised as a non-human being, in the past few days, she has clearly felt that the mansion has neglected her, and the things that can be eaten and used are only for her to use first, but now they are ranked in the bottom of the list. After three springs.
No matter how stupid Daiyu was, she knew that it was because her father died, and she became an orphan who could only rely on her uncle's family.
After all, it is different from before.
When the imperial decree came this time, Daiyu obviously felt that others looked at her with a hint of flattery.
Daiyu is sentimental, and is even more sensitive to the eyes of others, especially at such times.
After the official announced the imperial edict, he cupped his hands and said to Daiyu, "Congratulations, Gege, and please come into the garden tomorrow to thank you."
Daiyu slightly bent her knees, thanking her with the imperial decree in her hand.
Mrs. Jia at the side looked cheerfully at her granddaughter, and then at her grandson next to her. These two jade children were indeed a match made in heaven.
If it wasn't for Daiyu who was still in her filial piety, Mrs. Jia might have decided on this marriage directly.
It's a pity that Daiyu's status is different now, and she has been sealed as Dorogege, so she belongs to the royal family, and the marriage has to be decided by the royal family.
Mrs. Jia glanced at the second daughter-in-law inadvertently, she hated that iron could not be made into steel, she had long wanted to match the two Yu'er, but it was a pity that this ignorant woman disturbed them.
Now that Daiyu has been sealed as Duoluogege, she has to bow down in formal occasions. If she wants to make do with the two Yu'er, she can only do it quietly in private.
After waiting for this matter to happen, she went into the palace to ask the empress to marry the young couple.
Mrs. Wang, on the other hand, disagrees with Mrs. Jia, especially now that Lin Daiyu has been duoluogege, she is even more reluctant to let her be her daughter-in-law.
When she first married into Jia's family, she was often angry with Jia Min. Now Jia Min's daughter has suddenly become a royal princess, and if she marries this daughter-in-law again, it will oppress her for the rest of her life, which is a humiliation to her. She will never compromise.
Mrs. Wang thought of her younger sister in Jinling. Her niece Baochai was also very good-looking. Mrs. Wang made up her mind to write to her sister to see if she could let her family come to Beijing.
The next day, Lin Daiyu came to Yuanmingyuan in Jia's carriage. After entering Yuanmingyuan, she found that the garden was very familiar, with the style of small bridges and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River.
To be honest, Lin Daiyu grew up in the capital since she was six or seven years old, and she is supposed to be used to the life in the capital, but she went back to Yangzhou some time ago and saw the beautiful and exquisite scenery of Yangzhou, so she was a little uncomfortable when she returned to the capital.
Now that I saw the Old Summer Palace, looking at the scenery not much different from Yangzhou, I couldn't help thinking of my father who had just passed away, and shed tears again.
The eunuch who led the way saw that Doro Gege suddenly burst into tears, and suddenly became anxious, "Ge Ge, you must not cry, it is very unlucky to cry in front of Long Live Lord."
Daiyu quickly wiped away her tears, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, father-in-law, I just remember something sad because of the situation."
The eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to tell Daiyu the taboos in the garden, and how to salute the emperor, empress, and noble concubine.
Daiyu was clever, the eunuch only said it once, and she memorized what the eunuch said.
Seeing the eunuch was a little skeptical and even repeated it.
The eunuch was a little surprised, even the young masters in the palace didn't have such a good memory.
The eunuch led Daiyu halfway, but was stopped by someone, saying that the Long Live Lord was dealing with important military affairs and had no time to meet him, so the eunuch asked the eunuch to lead him to the queen, and then sent him to the imperial concubine after seeing her.
The eunuch took orders and sent Lin Daiyu to the queen first, and told her on the way, "Master and empress is a person who values rules, and you must abide by the rules when you see her. Gege, after you are a hero, the master and empress will not embarrass you. But you have to be careful, you may say something nasty."
Daiyu showed doubts, and the eunuch went to the queen's residence without explaining clearly.
Then Daiyu was invited in by the people in the queen's palace.
Daiyu felt a little apprehensive, because of what the leading eunuch hinted at just now.
The eunuch was vague, she only felt as if she had entered a cloud of fog.
When the queen saw someone, she only stabbed a few words in her words. Seeing Daiyu's bewildered face, she knew that she definitely didn't know that Jia Yuanchun was a female official in her palace.He didn't embarrass a little girl's family, and the Lin family only had this one child. After all, after being a hero, Jia Yuanchun's affairs should not be blamed on her.
After the queen rewarded her with a few pieces of jewelry, she was asked to retreat.
Daiyu came to the door anxiously, and for some reason she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the eunuch who had led the way was still there.
The eunuch who led the way was a little surprised to see Daiyu coming out so quickly, and hurriedly led the way again.
This time I went directly to the Xinghua Village Pavilion.
"When you get to the concubine and master, Gege should feel relieved. Your title is still begged by the concubine and master from Long Live Lord."
Daiyu was a little surprised, she thought it was because of her father that the emperor granted her the title Dorogege, but she didn't expect that it was the imperial concubine who begged her for the title, but she didn't know the imperial concubine?
After Daiyu entered the Old Summer Palace today, her heart was full of doubts. From the words of the eunuch leading the way and the empress' attitude towards her, she always felt that she was involved in something.
And she really didn't know about these things, so she couldn't help but want to ask her eldest sister. Now that her eldest sister has become an imperial concubine, she should know what's going on here.
Just when Daiyu came to the Xinghua Village Pavilion, she happened to run into Hongshi who ran out of the house. Hongshi's eyes lit up when he saw him. The younger sister in front of him was so beautiful.
Daiyu saw the young man in front of him who was about the same age as her second elder brother, so she hurriedly retreated to the side.
Hongshi scratched his head anxiously looking at his beautiful younger sister today. Which family's daughter is this? She looks like a fairy sister. Seeing Daiyu being led into the Xinghua Village Hall, Hongshi couldn't help stretching his neck to look at the beautiful younger sister. Into the yard.
Hongshi came here today to beg for money from An'eniang. He spent a lot of money and built several stadiums at once. He not only invested all the money he earned from the stadiums, but also borrowed a lot of money from outside.
If you take too many steps, you will inevitably hit the egg.Now there is an urgent need for a sum of money to continue to invest in it, so that the stadium will not be cut off due to lack of money before construction has started.
Unexpectedly, An Erniang was not willing to help him at all this time, and asked him to mortgage the few golf courses he opened to pay off the previous debts.
Hongshi was unhappy, so he ran out to ask his mother-in-law for help, but he ran into a beautiful younger sister as soon as he came out.
This younger sister is really beautiful, she looks like a little fairy, Hongshi has never seen her in the palace.
There used to be beautiful girls in the Children's Academy, but those girls were all spoiled by their families, and their behavior was a bit domineering. He had never seen such a delicate girl, and Hongshi felt a little surprised.
He really wanted to hide this little fairy home and play with him.
Hongshi just waited helplessly outside the Xinghua Village pavilion, completely forgetting his previous purpose.
In Xinghua Village Pavilion, Minning is receiving Lin Daiyu.
Minning is also a little curious about this sister Lin who everyone will know in the future.
Especially when I saw it with my own eyes, the little girl hadn't grown up yet, but her appearance was just as described by Mr. Cao. She had eyebrows that seemed to be frowning but not frowning, a pair of eyes that seemed to be happy but not happy, and she was wearing a flag dress, which couldn't hide her figure. thin.
The little girl stood in front of her, and Minning felt that this was Lin Daiyu in her imagination.
Daiyu saluted the noble concubine respectfully, but she didn't even dare to raise her head.
For her, the royal family has strict rules and regulations. She has tried it with the queen just now, and this time when she is in front of Concubine An, she can go and be more strict.
Minning shook his head for a moment, then came back to his senses quickly, and said to the maid next to him, "Give me a seat."
The maid moved a stool aside and asked Daiyu to sit down.
Minning pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't be afraid, treat this as your own home, and you can come and accompany me during Chinese New Year and holidays."
Daiyu pursed her lips a little uneasy, "Minister girl..."
Minning rested his chin on his hand, "You are already Duoluogege, you don't need to be called a girl."
Daiyu's eyes were still downcast, "Imperial Concubine, I... Daiyu just accidentally learned from someone else that this Duoluogege was begged by the empress, I don't know why the empress wants to help Daiyu?"
Upon hearing these words, Minning sat up straight with a smile, and glanced at the maid next to her.
The court lady quickly handed over a passbook, and Minning motioned her to show it to Daiyu, "This is the money your father gave to your distant uncle Lin Yuan, and he said he was entrusting him to take care of you, and he also left a sum for you." The money will be handed over to you after you get married."
When Daiyu saw the familiar handwriting on the bankbook, tears filled her eyes.
This is her father's handwriting.
The maid quickly put away the passbook again, and Minning continued, "Your uncle donated this money to the court in the name of your father. The court will use this money to establish a large number of children's colleges for children all over the world." Studying. Your father’s name will be engraved into an inscription and erected in these boys’ colleges in the future. You are your father’s only blood, so this legacy falls on your head, and naming you Dorogege is also a guarantee for you When I go back later, I will give you two foster nuns, and the nurturing nuns will teach you not to fall into the character of the Lin family."
Daiyu's tears streamed down, she got up and knelt down, "Thank you, Concubine Gui."
Dad, my daughter really misses you!
Minning had some headaches, Lin Daiyu was worthy of being a girl made of water, she shed tears at every turn, she was really not used to dealing with such children.
He didn't stay with Lin Daiyu any longer, and after some explanations, he let Lin Daiyu lead the two nuns to leave.
After Lin Daiyu left, Minning breathed a sigh of relief, and just picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, when he saw Hongshi who had gone and returned stealthily peeping at the door to look inside.
"What are you looking at?" Minning called out suddenly.
Hongshi was taken aback, so he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and walked in, "Ms. An'er, where's that beautiful sister just now?" He waited outside the door for a long time but didn't see the beautiful sister coming out, or he couldn't wait. Come in and find someone.
Minning paused for a moment before realizing that Hongshi was referring to Lin Daiyu, presumably the person he just met when he went out.
But when Lin Daiyu went out, she went through another door, so Hongshi must not have encountered her.
She asked calmly, "What beautiful sister?"
Hongshi became anxious immediately, "It's the beautiful little fairy-like sister who was brought in just now."
Seeing the weird smile on the corner of An'eniang's mouth, Hongshi immediately realized that An'eniang was trying to trick him just now!
Hongshi realized that he had been tricked, and broke the jar and said, "Ms. An'er, tell your son quickly, which family's daughter is that beautiful sister just now?"
Minning didn't bother to pay attention to him, "It's alright, what a beautiful sister, there is nothing wrong with it? Are you not going to clean up your mess? Don't hurry up and borrow some money!"
Seeing that Minning avoided talking about it, Hongshi knew that the beautiful sister just now had a different identity. He suddenly had a brain hole, could it be that the illegitimate daughter of his own Khan Ama who was left behind by the people came to the door, and that's why Make An'eniang unhappy?
As soon as he suspected that it might be his sister, Hongshi's thoughts faded away, but he still kept this matter in his heart.
"Ms. An'er, it was my son's fault just now. You don't want to lend money to my son. My son shouldn't run out in a fit of anger. But can you call my son? Why don't you like the stadiums your son saw?"
Otherwise, why did the two ones I saw at the beginning invested money, but the latter ones were unwilling to invest.
Minning took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, put down the teacup and said slowly, "Look at how many stadiums you have built in the capital, and how many people have the spare money to go to the stadium to watch football games? Just one or two It’s enough for the people in the imperial city to have a place to hang out. The people in the outer city are racking their brains for living every day, and they want to spend two pennies. How can they have spare money to watch those ball games! Two stadiums will be built in the capital It is already saturated, and it will only lose money if it continues to build.”
Hongshi suddenly realized, and then frowned again. Doesn't that mean he's about to lose money?
"My son's building materials have already been purchased. If the work is stopped again, wouldn't the previous investment be wasted?"
Minning had already had an idea, and began to point him out, "Do you know what is the most lively thing in your Khan Ama's harem now?"
Hongshi tentatively replied, "Could it be the newly-appointed virtuous concubine?"
Although Khan Ama sealed the person and threw him into the harem without paying attention, but this person is indeed the hottest topic in the harem now.
Minning nodded, and then said, "I got a piece of news that this concubine Jia's family is planning to build a family home. When the time comes, they must buy good building materials. Keep those materials for now, don't sell them cheaply. Go out, turn around and turn around, it's enough for you to earn some pocket money."
Hiroshi blinked his eyes and looked overjoyed all of a sudden.
He knew that the pocket money in Erniang's mouth all started with ten thousand taels of silver, and he was born late, so he didn't catch up with that trip.
But he knew Uncle Thirteen and Uncle Fourteen. When the two uncles were his age, An Erniang gave them tens of thousands of taels generously as pocket money.
These years are indispensable for their share.
He and the third brother have been envious and jealous for a long time after this incident, but unfortunately, in their generation, An'er Niang is a little tighter, and both of them have not opened a mansion, and An'er Niang can't take the initiative to give it to them. They have so much silver.
This time, Hongshi was overjoyed to get An'eniang's advice, wishing to sweep away the building materials in the entire capital and sell them to Jia's mansion at a high price.
Minning seemed to have seen his little idea, and reminded him, "Don't be too greedy, leave a way for others, otherwise they may buy directly from other places."
Hongshi's face turned red when he was seen through, and he stumbled and said, "An, An'er, please don't worry, as long as my son gets rid of the backlog of building materials."
Minning nodded, thinking that a child can be taught, and he will not go fishing in a dry marsh.
But in fact, Hongshi has already thought carefully. He plans to unite some people to eat all the building materials in the capital, and then directly block the lines leading to the capital. In the next year, a large amount of construction materials from other places will not be allowed to enter Beijing. .
Daiyu left Yuanmingyuan and returned to the imperial city in a carriage.
When I got back to Rongguo Mansion, I was invited over by the old lady as soon as I got off the carriage.
"The two nuns, please follow Zijuan to rest." Daiyu turned her head and said to the two foster nuns when she heard the maid's words.
The two foster nuns looked at each other, and then said to Daiyu, "Gege, sooner or later, the two old slaves are going to visit Mrs. Jia, why don't we go together."
After hearing this, Daiyu felt that what the mother-in-law said made sense, so she asked the maid in front to lead the way.
The two nuns looked at each other and sighed, feeling that there was a long way to go.
Whether this princess is an official lady or not, how come she doesn't even know such shallow common sense.
After all, this is the Duke's Mansion. She brought two strangers into the mansion, of course she had to inform the owner of the mansion first.
And this little master seemed to be unaware of this, and treated the two of them as guests.
I heard that this little master has lived in the Duke's Mansion since he was a child, and was brought up by the Duke's Mansion. The two foster nuns have doubts in their hearts. There is something wrong with the rules of the Duke's Mansion.
"Old lady, Daiyu is back." Lin Daiyu threw herself into Mrs. Jia's arms as soon as she entered the door.
There are not only Mrs. Jia, but also Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng and the Xing family next door.
This group of people is waiting for Lin Daiyu to come back.
After all, Lin Daiyu was going to the royal garden, not somewhere else, so Mrs. Jia was naturally worried that the female relatives on the side were just accompanying Mrs. Jia to pass the time suddenly.
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back." Mrs. Jia patted her granddaughter on the back and let the child go to the garden alone, she was naturally worried.Seeing that the child had almost returned, he let go of his fear.
"Sister Lin, is the Old Summer Palace beautiful? I heard that the Old Summer Palace is even more beautiful than the Changchun Garden." Wang Xifeng asked with bright eyes. With her status, she is not qualified to go to the Changchun Garden. The brand of the Duke's Mansion, but in fact, the master only has the title of general.
In this imperial city, at least eight of the ten belonged to the imperial family, which made the master's title of general not worth mentioning.
He didn't even have the qualification to enter the palace and give the emperor half a year.
Before Lin Daiyu could speak, Wang Xifeng asked again, "So have you seen your mother?"
Mrs. Wang looked over at the side. She also wanted to know about her daughter. Since she sent her daughter to the palace, it has been a full ten years this year.
After all, it was his first child, how could Mrs. Wang not miss it.
Not to mention that this daughter won a lot of face for her.
Coincidentally at this time, the two nuns who had come in behind Daiyu also came in.
Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly introduced to Mrs. Jia, "Old lady, these are the two nuns that the imperial concubine wants to give to Daiyu." Then she said to Wang Xifeng, "Sister-in-law Lian, this time I entered the garden. , I only met the empress empress and the imperial concubine empress, but I was not summoned by the eldest sister."
Mrs. Wang lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
Wang Xifeng's two foster nuns glanced at her, and quickly said, "It's okay, I'm just asking casually, I don't know how to call these two nuns."
Mrs. Jia then politely asked the two nuns to sit down.
The two foster nuns refused, and only stood behind Lin Daiyu, the nurturing nunnery in blue spoke first, "Don't be polite, old majesty, servants and others have been given to Ge Ge by Concubine An Gui, and they will be Ge Ge's people from now on. If there is anything wrong in the future, please bear with me."
Then they said their respective surnames, one surnamed Zhang and the other surnamed Wei, all of them were Han mothers, they had served the empress dowager before, but this time they were sent by Concubine An to be Lin Daiyu's foster mother.
When the flag of the Empress Dowager was pulled, not only Mrs. Jia, but everyone present was stunned.
He also treated the two nuns with respect.
Now even a eunuch in their mansion can blackmail at will, let alone a foster nun who came out of the empress dowager's palace.
But in fact, when the empress dowager passed away, most of the nuns with family members in the palace were sent home, and those who had no children and no relatives like them could only be scattered to various palaces.
And the masters of each palace already had proud people around them, and they surrounded the whole palace into an iron bucket, and the newly assigned people like them couldn't get in at all.
Nanny Zhang and Nanny Wei only stayed in a closed palace to clean, and they thought it would be like this for the rest of their lives, but unexpectedly they were called by Concubine An, and the two went out of the palace to take care of a little girl.
The two of them naturally didn't want to live such a boring life in the palace, so they agreed.
After leaving the palace, I found that the little girl was innocent, but her natal family was a bit complicated according to the current situation.
But what they are most afraid of is the inner house battle.
Hong Shi found his group of pig and dog friends, all of whom were cousins of Hong's generation.
Before, several people invested in the stadium he said he opened in partnership. Wait a minute, although he said that he could not recover the capital, but judging from the current momentum, the capital will be able to return sooner or later.
No, several people also followed suit to invest money a few times later.
This time Hongshi does not intend to build another stadium and intends to transfer the building materials. Of course, these people must be notified.
"Why don't you continue to build?" Hong Sheng held a fan and made a suave appearance.
Hong Shi took a sip of tea, "Don't mention it, no one will pay for the rest of the money, and I can't find anyone who is willing to sell it. This won't be suspended."
Hong Ming opened his eyes wide and said, "How far is it? At worst, let's make it together."
Hiroshi held out a palm.
Hong Ming asked, "5 taels?"
"It's 50 million taels!"
The group of people around the table gasped. If it was 5 taels, a group of people could get it together, but there was a shortfall of 50 taels. Even if they were sold, they would not be able to sell so much money. !
"Could it be that you built a stadium inlaid with gold? Why do you need so much silver? Didn't you say that 10 taels can be done?"
Hongshi was a little depressed and said, "10 taels, that's the money to build one stadium. I built five this time. I wanted to borrow the money from An Erniang, but she said that the stadiums in the capital are already saturated. No matter how much it was built, no one went to see it, so I used this as an excuse not to lend me money."
A group of people looked at each other, Hongfang said, "Hongshi, to be honest, I think what Concubine An said makes sense."
Hongshi rolled his eyes at him, "Of course I know what An'eniang said is right, maybe all those building materials will have to be thrown into my own hands this time."
Hong Sheng asked him, "Why are you looking for us?" If you can't get enough money, there is no need to build this stadium, so what can Hong Shi come up with with a few of them?
Hongshi played with the cup in his hand and said, "The stadium can't be built in the capital, but it doesn't mean that it can't be built in other places. I plan to send people to Jiangnan, which is the real rich town. If a stadium is built, then That’s a lot of money.”
"But you don't have any money!" Hongfang said honestly.
Hong Shi glared at him, "Don't tear down my desk, can you?"
Then he glanced at the others and said in high spirits, "This time I have a good opportunity to make money, I wonder if you would like to make a fortune with me, when we have money, let's drive the stadium to the north and south together .”
Hong Ming was a little moved, "What a good opportunity?"
Hongshi beckoned, and several bald heads gathered together, listening to him whisper.
Hongshi had already made up his mind to pull this group of people onto the boat, and everyone joined forces to cut off the line to the capital, so as to ensure that construction materials from other places could not enter the capital.
Even if the incident happened and the defendant went to Khan Amma, wouldn't there be a saying that the law does not punish the public?
Fourth Master took a sip of tea, then nodded, "Illegal salt is rampant in the south of the Yangtze River, mainly concentrated in the Zhejiang area. Most of the salt on the market today is illegal salt."
"What are you going to do with it?"
Fourth Master put down his teacup and said, "I plan to ask Chaocheng tomorrow morning for advice."
Minning nodded. In fact, she already had some small thoughts in her heart, but he didn't ask her at present, and he didn't express his thoughts for the time being.
The next day was the grand court, and fourth master threw this topic out.
Those who reformed the Yanzheng court had already noticed it. After all, the following emperor did not like drastic reforms, and it would be a matter of time before he wanted to intervene in the Yanzheng.
All kinds of things have been straightened out in the past two years, and the emperor should make a big move.
As soon as the topic of fourth master was brought up, many ministers present discussed in low voices. For a moment, the entire Zhengda Guangming Palace seemed like a vegetable market.
Fourth master scanned around and asked a few people, but the answers he got were all unsatisfactory, and then he looked at Li Wei who had just returned to Beijing.
Li Wei had trained in Japan for a period of time, and he was no longer a boy who just entered the officialdom. Yesterday, the fourth master sent someone to question him. Today, he just sneaked out to ask him what his ideas are?
"Li Wei, what do you think?"
Li Wei stood up and told the solution that Lian Ye had come up with with his staff.
"Your minister thinks that officers and soldiers can be set up to patrol the places where smugglers often come and go in Zhejiang, and order Chang Zhendao, General Jingkou, Deputy General of Military Standards and other officials to supervise the generals and officials to patrol by land and water, so as to strictly prevent the smuggled salt from the two Huaihe Rivers from invading Zhejiang salt from Zhenjiang Prefecture. marketing area, so as to guarantee the sales of Zhejiang Salt.”
Fourth Master blurted out, "Okay!"
This method is really good. It directly eliminates the way for private salt to be sold, and it must be able to dispel the madness of salt lords.
After Si Ye got this plan, he asked other people, and seeing no one vetoed it, please pass down the imperial decree and order Li Wei to do it.
After the court, the fourth master turned around and went to the Changchun Garden. The Supreme Emperor had already learned what happened in the early court. He was busy watering the flowers, but he turned a blind eye when he saw his son coming.
The flooded area of private salt is in Haining County, which is under the jurisdiction of the Cao family. If the Cao family doesn't know about it, Fourth Master can't believe it.
The Supreme Emperor probably understood what the fourth child was thinking. The fourth child was quietly cutting off his veterans.
Private salt should be taken care of, but it is actually the Cao family that is the thorn in the heart of the fourth child.
The fourth master stood aside and watched the Supreme Emperor water the potted plants. After the Supreme Emperor finished it slowly, he said, "I don't care what you want to do with the private salt matter. However, the only old ministers left, It's better to be decent."
The fourth child ascended the throne, and wanted to rule out dissidents and control the entire court, the Supreme Emperor didn't understand.
For the emperor who is as loyal as the Cao family, it is the thorn in the south of the Yangtze River. If it is not removed, for the emperor on the throne, it is impossible for the emperor in the south of the Yangtze River to have unimpeded government orders.
So this formed a rebuttal, on the one hand, he wanted to revitalize the entire Jiangnan, and on the other hand, he belonged to the confidant of the Supreme Emperor.
The Supreme Emperor naturally understands this truth. If he doesn't move the Cao family for the time being, it's just that the Cao family is loyal to him, and he doesn't want to chill the old minister's heart.
Even if the fourth child wanted to move, it would have to wait until he was dead.
After all, the Supreme Emperor knew in his heart what the Cao family had done these years, and it would definitely not end well.
In fact, the Cao family also took the blame for him. The Supreme Emperor went to the south of the Yangtze River several times, and the money spent was all paid by the Cao family.
The purpose of handing over the weaving bureau to Cao's family was to let him subsidize it.
As for the Yanzheng, the Supreme Emperor believed that the Cao family would live up to his hopes.
The Salt Administration cannot intervene, the Cao family should understand.
Of course if you intervene...
The Supreme Emperor pulled out a weed in the potted plant.
The fourth master bent slightly, "The sons of these veteran ministers will naturally treat them with respect. If these veteran ministers have not failed Khan Ama's painstaking efforts in this inspection of the salt administration, my son will not accuse him of innocence."
The Supreme Emperor nodded, and the father and son set the tone of the matter in a few sentences.
It can be checked that if anyone intervenes, they will cut off the outstretched hand directly, but they can't hurt the old officials of the Supreme Emperor.
After getting permission from the Supreme Emperor, Fourth Master returned to Yuanmingyuan.
After returning to Yuanmingyuan, remembering what Minning mentioned last night, he waved his hand and wrote an imperial decree, which was sent to the clan mansion for record.
After receiving the imperial decree, the clan's mansion quickly included Lin's daughter in Yudie.
Then the steward of the clan's mansion went directly to Rongguo mansion to pass on the imperial edict.
After the Jia family obtained the will of the concubine, the whole family became excited, and even received congratulatory gifts from various relatives.
On this day, all the young and old in Jia's mansion began to discuss the establishment of the Grand View Garden of the "Family Visiting Courtyard". Gao Gang discussed how much taels of silver each household should pay, and then he heard a young servant running in.
"My lord, there are high-ranking officials outside to deliver the imperial decree!"
Jia Zheng and the others suddenly stood up. Jia Zheng and Jia She looked at each other and said in unison, "Hurry up and get the imperial edict."
Mrs. Wang, who was also sitting at Mrs. Jia's place, also got the news, and immediately became very happy. It must be Yuan Chun who got the reward again, otherwise the imperial decree would not have been passed on to her family. Could it be that she begged the Lord Long Live to grant her an imperial order? .
At the same time, she was a little worried that Yuan Chun hadn't secured her position yet, and now she was asking for a reward from the emperor, wondering if it would drag her down in the emperor's eyes.
In any case, it is a good thing that the imperial decree came to the family. Mrs. Wang followed Mrs. Jia to the front yard happily.
On the other side of the front yard, the table has been set up, waiting for the adults who came to declare the decree.
The junior official of the clan's mansion glanced at the crowd, and then asked, "Have all the masters of the mansion come over?"
Mrs. Jia took a glance and found that her precious grandson Jin and granddaughter Daiyu hadn't come, so she hurriedly sent someone to look for them.
It took another half an hour for them to arrive. Seeing that her son and Daiyu had arrived late, Mrs. Wang secretly gave Daiyu a look, but fortunately no one noticed.
The petty official began to announce the imperial edict only after seeing the owner of the imperial edict had arrived. As for whether other people came or not, it was not up to him.
"By God's fortune, the emperor said, first inspected the salt censor Linhai for ten years in charge of the salt government, and I heard that there is only one daughter left in the Lin family, who is loyal and loyal in Linhai... Now the daughter of the Lin family is Dorogege, This is it."
This sudden imperial decree made the Jia family dumbfounded. It turns out that this imperial decree has nothing to do with Yuanchun.
As for Mrs. Wang, because she guessed the will wrongly, she only felt her head buzzing, but she still clenched her fists tightly, not allowing herself to show any strangeness.
On the contrary, Mrs. Jia was very happy. After thanking the Lord for his kindness, she stood up and signaled Daiyu to accept the imperial edict.
Daiyu was still a little dazed, and when she realized that the imperial decree should be related to her father, she shed tears sadly.
Unexpectedly, before her death, her father had already arranged for her to ask for a Dorogege status. With this status, she would be blessed by the royal family. No matter if she married in the future or was in her boudoir, no one would be able to bully her.
Although Daiyu was raised as a non-human being, in the past few days, she has clearly felt that the mansion has neglected her, and the things that can be eaten and used are only for her to use first, but now they are ranked in the bottom of the list. After three springs.
No matter how stupid Daiyu was, she knew that it was because her father died, and she became an orphan who could only rely on her uncle's family.
After all, it is different from before.
When the imperial decree came this time, Daiyu obviously felt that others looked at her with a hint of flattery.
Daiyu is sentimental, and is even more sensitive to the eyes of others, especially at such times.
After the official announced the imperial edict, he cupped his hands and said to Daiyu, "Congratulations, Gege, and please come into the garden tomorrow to thank you."
Daiyu slightly bent her knees, thanking her with the imperial decree in her hand.
Mrs. Jia at the side looked cheerfully at her granddaughter, and then at her grandson next to her. These two jade children were indeed a match made in heaven.
If it wasn't for Daiyu who was still in her filial piety, Mrs. Jia might have decided on this marriage directly.
It's a pity that Daiyu's status is different now, and she has been sealed as Dorogege, so she belongs to the royal family, and the marriage has to be decided by the royal family.
Mrs. Jia glanced at the second daughter-in-law inadvertently, she hated that iron could not be made into steel, she had long wanted to match the two Yu'er, but it was a pity that this ignorant woman disturbed them.
Now that Daiyu has been sealed as Duoluogege, she has to bow down in formal occasions. If she wants to make do with the two Yu'er, she can only do it quietly in private.
After waiting for this matter to happen, she went into the palace to ask the empress to marry the young couple.
Mrs. Wang, on the other hand, disagrees with Mrs. Jia, especially now that Lin Daiyu has been duoluogege, she is even more reluctant to let her be her daughter-in-law.
When she first married into Jia's family, she was often angry with Jia Min. Now Jia Min's daughter has suddenly become a royal princess, and if she marries this daughter-in-law again, it will oppress her for the rest of her life, which is a humiliation to her. She will never compromise.
Mrs. Wang thought of her younger sister in Jinling. Her niece Baochai was also very good-looking. Mrs. Wang made up her mind to write to her sister to see if she could let her family come to Beijing.
The next day, Lin Daiyu came to Yuanmingyuan in Jia's carriage. After entering Yuanmingyuan, she found that the garden was very familiar, with the style of small bridges and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River.
To be honest, Lin Daiyu grew up in the capital since she was six or seven years old, and she is supposed to be used to the life in the capital, but she went back to Yangzhou some time ago and saw the beautiful and exquisite scenery of Yangzhou, so she was a little uncomfortable when she returned to the capital.
Now that I saw the Old Summer Palace, looking at the scenery not much different from Yangzhou, I couldn't help thinking of my father who had just passed away, and shed tears again.
The eunuch who led the way saw that Doro Gege suddenly burst into tears, and suddenly became anxious, "Ge Ge, you must not cry, it is very unlucky to cry in front of Long Live Lord."
Daiyu quickly wiped away her tears, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, father-in-law, I just remember something sad because of the situation."
The eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to tell Daiyu the taboos in the garden, and how to salute the emperor, empress, and noble concubine.
Daiyu was clever, the eunuch only said it once, and she memorized what the eunuch said.
Seeing the eunuch was a little skeptical and even repeated it.
The eunuch was a little surprised, even the young masters in the palace didn't have such a good memory.
The eunuch led Daiyu halfway, but was stopped by someone, saying that the Long Live Lord was dealing with important military affairs and had no time to meet him, so the eunuch asked the eunuch to lead him to the queen, and then sent him to the imperial concubine after seeing her.
The eunuch took orders and sent Lin Daiyu to the queen first, and told her on the way, "Master and empress is a person who values rules, and you must abide by the rules when you see her. Gege, after you are a hero, the master and empress will not embarrass you. But you have to be careful, you may say something nasty."
Daiyu showed doubts, and the eunuch went to the queen's residence without explaining clearly.
Then Daiyu was invited in by the people in the queen's palace.
Daiyu felt a little apprehensive, because of what the leading eunuch hinted at just now.
The eunuch was vague, she only felt as if she had entered a cloud of fog.
When the queen saw someone, she only stabbed a few words in her words. Seeing Daiyu's bewildered face, she knew that she definitely didn't know that Jia Yuanchun was a female official in her palace.He didn't embarrass a little girl's family, and the Lin family only had this one child. After all, after being a hero, Jia Yuanchun's affairs should not be blamed on her.
After the queen rewarded her with a few pieces of jewelry, she was asked to retreat.
Daiyu came to the door anxiously, and for some reason she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the eunuch who had led the way was still there.
The eunuch who led the way was a little surprised to see Daiyu coming out so quickly, and hurriedly led the way again.
This time I went directly to the Xinghua Village Pavilion.
"When you get to the concubine and master, Gege should feel relieved. Your title is still begged by the concubine and master from Long Live Lord."
Daiyu was a little surprised, she thought it was because of her father that the emperor granted her the title Dorogege, but she didn't expect that it was the imperial concubine who begged her for the title, but she didn't know the imperial concubine?
After Daiyu entered the Old Summer Palace today, her heart was full of doubts. From the words of the eunuch leading the way and the empress' attitude towards her, she always felt that she was involved in something.
And she really didn't know about these things, so she couldn't help but want to ask her eldest sister. Now that her eldest sister has become an imperial concubine, she should know what's going on here.
Just when Daiyu came to the Xinghua Village Pavilion, she happened to run into Hongshi who ran out of the house. Hongshi's eyes lit up when he saw him. The younger sister in front of him was so beautiful.
Daiyu saw the young man in front of him who was about the same age as her second elder brother, so she hurriedly retreated to the side.
Hongshi scratched his head anxiously looking at his beautiful younger sister today. Which family's daughter is this? She looks like a fairy sister. Seeing Daiyu being led into the Xinghua Village Hall, Hongshi couldn't help stretching his neck to look at the beautiful younger sister. Into the yard.
Hongshi came here today to beg for money from An'eniang. He spent a lot of money and built several stadiums at once. He not only invested all the money he earned from the stadiums, but also borrowed a lot of money from outside.
If you take too many steps, you will inevitably hit the egg.Now there is an urgent need for a sum of money to continue to invest in it, so that the stadium will not be cut off due to lack of money before construction has started.
Unexpectedly, An Erniang was not willing to help him at all this time, and asked him to mortgage the few golf courses he opened to pay off the previous debts.
Hongshi was unhappy, so he ran out to ask his mother-in-law for help, but he ran into a beautiful younger sister as soon as he came out.
This younger sister is really beautiful, she looks like a little fairy, Hongshi has never seen her in the palace.
There used to be beautiful girls in the Children's Academy, but those girls were all spoiled by their families, and their behavior was a bit domineering. He had never seen such a delicate girl, and Hongshi felt a little surprised.
He really wanted to hide this little fairy home and play with him.
Hongshi just waited helplessly outside the Xinghua Village pavilion, completely forgetting his previous purpose.
In Xinghua Village Pavilion, Minning is receiving Lin Daiyu.
Minning is also a little curious about this sister Lin who everyone will know in the future.
Especially when I saw it with my own eyes, the little girl hadn't grown up yet, but her appearance was just as described by Mr. Cao. She had eyebrows that seemed to be frowning but not frowning, a pair of eyes that seemed to be happy but not happy, and she was wearing a flag dress, which couldn't hide her figure. thin.
The little girl stood in front of her, and Minning felt that this was Lin Daiyu in her imagination.
Daiyu saluted the noble concubine respectfully, but she didn't even dare to raise her head.
For her, the royal family has strict rules and regulations. She has tried it with the queen just now, and this time when she is in front of Concubine An, she can go and be more strict.
Minning shook his head for a moment, then came back to his senses quickly, and said to the maid next to him, "Give me a seat."
The maid moved a stool aside and asked Daiyu to sit down.
Minning pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't be afraid, treat this as your own home, and you can come and accompany me during Chinese New Year and holidays."
Daiyu pursed her lips a little uneasy, "Minister girl..."
Minning rested his chin on his hand, "You are already Duoluogege, you don't need to be called a girl."
Daiyu's eyes were still downcast, "Imperial Concubine, I... Daiyu just accidentally learned from someone else that this Duoluogege was begged by the empress, I don't know why the empress wants to help Daiyu?"
Upon hearing these words, Minning sat up straight with a smile, and glanced at the maid next to her.
The court lady quickly handed over a passbook, and Minning motioned her to show it to Daiyu, "This is the money your father gave to your distant uncle Lin Yuan, and he said he was entrusting him to take care of you, and he also left a sum for you." The money will be handed over to you after you get married."
When Daiyu saw the familiar handwriting on the bankbook, tears filled her eyes.
This is her father's handwriting.
The maid quickly put away the passbook again, and Minning continued, "Your uncle donated this money to the court in the name of your father. The court will use this money to establish a large number of children's colleges for children all over the world." Studying. Your father’s name will be engraved into an inscription and erected in these boys’ colleges in the future. You are your father’s only blood, so this legacy falls on your head, and naming you Dorogege is also a guarantee for you When I go back later, I will give you two foster nuns, and the nurturing nuns will teach you not to fall into the character of the Lin family."
Daiyu's tears streamed down, she got up and knelt down, "Thank you, Concubine Gui."
Dad, my daughter really misses you!
Minning had some headaches, Lin Daiyu was worthy of being a girl made of water, she shed tears at every turn, she was really not used to dealing with such children.
He didn't stay with Lin Daiyu any longer, and after some explanations, he let Lin Daiyu lead the two nuns to leave.
After Lin Daiyu left, Minning breathed a sigh of relief, and just picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, when he saw Hongshi who had gone and returned stealthily peeping at the door to look inside.
"What are you looking at?" Minning called out suddenly.
Hongshi was taken aback, so he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and walked in, "Ms. An'er, where's that beautiful sister just now?" He waited outside the door for a long time but didn't see the beautiful sister coming out, or he couldn't wait. Come in and find someone.
Minning paused for a moment before realizing that Hongshi was referring to Lin Daiyu, presumably the person he just met when he went out.
But when Lin Daiyu went out, she went through another door, so Hongshi must not have encountered her.
She asked calmly, "What beautiful sister?"
Hongshi became anxious immediately, "It's the beautiful little fairy-like sister who was brought in just now."
Seeing the weird smile on the corner of An'eniang's mouth, Hongshi immediately realized that An'eniang was trying to trick him just now!
Hongshi realized that he had been tricked, and broke the jar and said, "Ms. An'er, tell your son quickly, which family's daughter is that beautiful sister just now?"
Minning didn't bother to pay attention to him, "It's alright, what a beautiful sister, there is nothing wrong with it? Are you not going to clean up your mess? Don't hurry up and borrow some money!"
Seeing that Minning avoided talking about it, Hongshi knew that the beautiful sister just now had a different identity. He suddenly had a brain hole, could it be that the illegitimate daughter of his own Khan Ama who was left behind by the people came to the door, and that's why Make An'eniang unhappy?
As soon as he suspected that it might be his sister, Hongshi's thoughts faded away, but he still kept this matter in his heart.
"Ms. An'er, it was my son's fault just now. You don't want to lend money to my son. My son shouldn't run out in a fit of anger. But can you call my son? Why don't you like the stadiums your son saw?"
Otherwise, why did the two ones I saw at the beginning invested money, but the latter ones were unwilling to invest.
Minning took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, put down the teacup and said slowly, "Look at how many stadiums you have built in the capital, and how many people have the spare money to go to the stadium to watch football games? Just one or two It’s enough for the people in the imperial city to have a place to hang out. The people in the outer city are racking their brains for living every day, and they want to spend two pennies. How can they have spare money to watch those ball games! Two stadiums will be built in the capital It is already saturated, and it will only lose money if it continues to build.”
Hongshi suddenly realized, and then frowned again. Doesn't that mean he's about to lose money?
"My son's building materials have already been purchased. If the work is stopped again, wouldn't the previous investment be wasted?"
Minning had already had an idea, and began to point him out, "Do you know what is the most lively thing in your Khan Ama's harem now?"
Hongshi tentatively replied, "Could it be the newly-appointed virtuous concubine?"
Although Khan Ama sealed the person and threw him into the harem without paying attention, but this person is indeed the hottest topic in the harem now.
Minning nodded, and then said, "I got a piece of news that this concubine Jia's family is planning to build a family home. When the time comes, they must buy good building materials. Keep those materials for now, don't sell them cheaply. Go out, turn around and turn around, it's enough for you to earn some pocket money."
Hiroshi blinked his eyes and looked overjoyed all of a sudden.
He knew that the pocket money in Erniang's mouth all started with ten thousand taels of silver, and he was born late, so he didn't catch up with that trip.
But he knew Uncle Thirteen and Uncle Fourteen. When the two uncles were his age, An Erniang gave them tens of thousands of taels generously as pocket money.
These years are indispensable for their share.
He and the third brother have been envious and jealous for a long time after this incident, but unfortunately, in their generation, An'er Niang is a little tighter, and both of them have not opened a mansion, and An'er Niang can't take the initiative to give it to them. They have so much silver.
This time, Hongshi was overjoyed to get An'eniang's advice, wishing to sweep away the building materials in the entire capital and sell them to Jia's mansion at a high price.
Minning seemed to have seen his little idea, and reminded him, "Don't be too greedy, leave a way for others, otherwise they may buy directly from other places."
Hongshi's face turned red when he was seen through, and he stumbled and said, "An, An'er, please don't worry, as long as my son gets rid of the backlog of building materials."
Minning nodded, thinking that a child can be taught, and he will not go fishing in a dry marsh.
But in fact, Hongshi has already thought carefully. He plans to unite some people to eat all the building materials in the capital, and then directly block the lines leading to the capital. In the next year, a large amount of construction materials from other places will not be allowed to enter Beijing. .
Daiyu left Yuanmingyuan and returned to the imperial city in a carriage.
When I got back to Rongguo Mansion, I was invited over by the old lady as soon as I got off the carriage.
"The two nuns, please follow Zijuan to rest." Daiyu turned her head and said to the two foster nuns when she heard the maid's words.
The two foster nuns looked at each other, and then said to Daiyu, "Gege, sooner or later, the two old slaves are going to visit Mrs. Jia, why don't we go together."
After hearing this, Daiyu felt that what the mother-in-law said made sense, so she asked the maid in front to lead the way.
The two nuns looked at each other and sighed, feeling that there was a long way to go.
Whether this princess is an official lady or not, how come she doesn't even know such shallow common sense.
After all, this is the Duke's Mansion. She brought two strangers into the mansion, of course she had to inform the owner of the mansion first.
And this little master seemed to be unaware of this, and treated the two of them as guests.
I heard that this little master has lived in the Duke's Mansion since he was a child, and was brought up by the Duke's Mansion. The two foster nuns have doubts in their hearts. There is something wrong with the rules of the Duke's Mansion.
"Old lady, Daiyu is back." Lin Daiyu threw herself into Mrs. Jia's arms as soon as she entered the door.
There are not only Mrs. Jia, but also Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng and the Xing family next door.
This group of people is waiting for Lin Daiyu to come back.
After all, Lin Daiyu was going to the royal garden, not somewhere else, so Mrs. Jia was naturally worried that the female relatives on the side were just accompanying Mrs. Jia to pass the time suddenly.
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back." Mrs. Jia patted her granddaughter on the back and let the child go to the garden alone, she was naturally worried.Seeing that the child had almost returned, he let go of his fear.
"Sister Lin, is the Old Summer Palace beautiful? I heard that the Old Summer Palace is even more beautiful than the Changchun Garden." Wang Xifeng asked with bright eyes. With her status, she is not qualified to go to the Changchun Garden. The brand of the Duke's Mansion, but in fact, the master only has the title of general.
In this imperial city, at least eight of the ten belonged to the imperial family, which made the master's title of general not worth mentioning.
He didn't even have the qualification to enter the palace and give the emperor half a year.
Before Lin Daiyu could speak, Wang Xifeng asked again, "So have you seen your mother?"
Mrs. Wang looked over at the side. She also wanted to know about her daughter. Since she sent her daughter to the palace, it has been a full ten years this year.
After all, it was his first child, how could Mrs. Wang not miss it.
Not to mention that this daughter won a lot of face for her.
Coincidentally at this time, the two nuns who had come in behind Daiyu also came in.
Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly introduced to Mrs. Jia, "Old lady, these are the two nuns that the imperial concubine wants to give to Daiyu." Then she said to Wang Xifeng, "Sister-in-law Lian, this time I entered the garden. , I only met the empress empress and the imperial concubine empress, but I was not summoned by the eldest sister."
Mrs. Wang lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
Wang Xifeng's two foster nuns glanced at her, and quickly said, "It's okay, I'm just asking casually, I don't know how to call these two nuns."
Mrs. Jia then politely asked the two nuns to sit down.
The two foster nuns refused, and only stood behind Lin Daiyu, the nurturing nunnery in blue spoke first, "Don't be polite, old majesty, servants and others have been given to Ge Ge by Concubine An Gui, and they will be Ge Ge's people from now on. If there is anything wrong in the future, please bear with me."
Then they said their respective surnames, one surnamed Zhang and the other surnamed Wei, all of them were Han mothers, they had served the empress dowager before, but this time they were sent by Concubine An to be Lin Daiyu's foster mother.
When the flag of the Empress Dowager was pulled, not only Mrs. Jia, but everyone present was stunned.
He also treated the two nuns with respect.
Now even a eunuch in their mansion can blackmail at will, let alone a foster nun who came out of the empress dowager's palace.
But in fact, when the empress dowager passed away, most of the nuns with family members in the palace were sent home, and those who had no children and no relatives like them could only be scattered to various palaces.
And the masters of each palace already had proud people around them, and they surrounded the whole palace into an iron bucket, and the newly assigned people like them couldn't get in at all.
Nanny Zhang and Nanny Wei only stayed in a closed palace to clean, and they thought it would be like this for the rest of their lives, but unexpectedly they were called by Concubine An, and the two went out of the palace to take care of a little girl.
The two of them naturally didn't want to live such a boring life in the palace, so they agreed.
After leaving the palace, I found that the little girl was innocent, but her natal family was a bit complicated according to the current situation.
But what they are most afraid of is the inner house battle.
Hong Shi found his group of pig and dog friends, all of whom were cousins of Hong's generation.
Before, several people invested in the stadium he said he opened in partnership. Wait a minute, although he said that he could not recover the capital, but judging from the current momentum, the capital will be able to return sooner or later.
No, several people also followed suit to invest money a few times later.
This time Hongshi does not intend to build another stadium and intends to transfer the building materials. Of course, these people must be notified.
"Why don't you continue to build?" Hong Sheng held a fan and made a suave appearance.
Hong Shi took a sip of tea, "Don't mention it, no one will pay for the rest of the money, and I can't find anyone who is willing to sell it. This won't be suspended."
Hong Ming opened his eyes wide and said, "How far is it? At worst, let's make it together."
Hiroshi held out a palm.
Hong Ming asked, "5 taels?"
"It's 50 million taels!"
The group of people around the table gasped. If it was 5 taels, a group of people could get it together, but there was a shortfall of 50 taels. Even if they were sold, they would not be able to sell so much money. !
"Could it be that you built a stadium inlaid with gold? Why do you need so much silver? Didn't you say that 10 taels can be done?"
Hongshi was a little depressed and said, "10 taels, that's the money to build one stadium. I built five this time. I wanted to borrow the money from An Erniang, but she said that the stadiums in the capital are already saturated. No matter how much it was built, no one went to see it, so I used this as an excuse not to lend me money."
A group of people looked at each other, Hongfang said, "Hongshi, to be honest, I think what Concubine An said makes sense."
Hongshi rolled his eyes at him, "Of course I know what An'eniang said is right, maybe all those building materials will have to be thrown into my own hands this time."
Hong Sheng asked him, "Why are you looking for us?" If you can't get enough money, there is no need to build this stadium, so what can Hong Shi come up with with a few of them?
Hongshi played with the cup in his hand and said, "The stadium can't be built in the capital, but it doesn't mean that it can't be built in other places. I plan to send people to Jiangnan, which is the real rich town. If a stadium is built, then That’s a lot of money.”
"But you don't have any money!" Hongfang said honestly.
Hong Shi glared at him, "Don't tear down my desk, can you?"
Then he glanced at the others and said in high spirits, "This time I have a good opportunity to make money, I wonder if you would like to make a fortune with me, when we have money, let's drive the stadium to the north and south together .”
Hong Ming was a little moved, "What a good opportunity?"
Hongshi beckoned, and several bald heads gathered together, listening to him whisper.
Hongshi had already made up his mind to pull this group of people onto the boat, and everyone joined forces to cut off the line to the capital, so as to ensure that construction materials from other places could not enter the capital.
Even if the incident happened and the defendant went to Khan Amma, wouldn't there be a saying that the law does not punish the public?
