The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

As a younger brother, it seemed to be a matter of course to be elected to ask His Majesty if there were any instructions today.

Jia Lian reluctantly moved away from the Qianqing Palace, and walked slowly towards the harem. He was not familiar with this place, so it was embarrassing to go wrong.

In the end, after passing the Rijing Gate, I saw Jia She angrily leading a group of people towards him. Jia Lian hurriedly greeted him: "Greetings, Father, where are you going?"

Jia Amnesty complained: "A few girls are hogging my little granddaughter and won't give it to me. I'm going to pick up my eldest grandson to play with."

Jia Lian looked at the direction, is this going to Fengyi Palace?Hastily followed: "Take the ministers together, the ministers in front are still waiting for the imperial brother's order."

Jia Amnesty asked curiously, "What's the purpose?" After trekking for so long, those who went out to hunt in autumn, it's almost winter when they come back. If these ministers don't go home to rest, what are they waiting for?

Jia Lian said with a sad face, "It's because the emperor didn't say anything, so I waited for the order." For the first time, it's okay to be anticlimactic in the paddock.The emperor didn't speak, and they didn't know whether they should go home or not.

Jia She curled his lips and stopped expressing his opinion. The father and son strode towards Fengyi Palace together.

On the way again, Ning Shan came towards us with great strides: "Why did you two get together?"

Jia Lian hurriedly greeted him, and repeated the words that the ministers were waiting in line. Ning Shan was surprised: "What was it like when you came back from hunting?" followed into the palace?

Jia She said: "The former dynasty has not hunted for so many years, everyone has already forgotten. Besides, even if you haven't forgotten, the previous dynasty is the previous dynasty, and this dynasty is the current dynasty. You have to create this system."

Ning Shan quickened her pace: "Since this is the case, let's discuss the matter along the way. At worst, we will take a day off tomorrow and let everyone have a good rest."

Jia Lian asked curiously, "What's the matter?" If it's a political matter, he should have nothing to do with it. Anyway, he is a king of leisure, and it's the business to go back to eat, drink and have fun.

Ning Shan said: "Of course it's a frontier war. On our way back, General Li sent many quick horses to report the news. After the barbarians regrouped, they started to move around again. I'm afraid that in winter, the mountains will be covered by heavy snow and the glaciers will freeze. The war is about to start. All the ministries will start preparing to support the war from now on, who else is in charge of what matters, don't they all need to be discussed?"

Jia Lian resolutely resigned: "For such an important matter, my brother is incompetent, so I won't get in the way."

Ning Shan grabbed Jia Lian by the collar and walked forward: "You can't go, I have something to do here. I heard you are very good at bargaining?"

Jia Lian was puzzled: "What bargain?"

Ning Shan explained: "The prisoner we captured back will be useful. I am going to send a articulate and shrewd person to negotiate with the leader of the other party and ask them to redeem property." The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong. Now that they want their horses to train their own cavalry, wouldn't they kill two birds with one stone?Expand your own advantage while weakening the enemy's strength.

Jia Lian was dumbfounded: "I'm the articulate and shrewd one?" There must be some kind of misunderstanding here, how could he be worthy of such a strong complimenting adjective?

Jia She's face was full of contempt: "Shan'er, don't believe what other people say about this idiot. It's just for your sake. You don't know how capable he is?"

Ning Shan smiled and said: "It is precisely because he knows that this matter must be done by him. I heard that when you were still living with that family, Lian'er went to buy gifts every New Year's day and when you visited relatives and gave gifts. The two women of the Jia Wang family, the younger and the younger, are all eyes on money, and hold it tightly, but Lian'er has a way to get money out of the cracks, isn't it a great skill."

Jia Lian bitterly said: "Brother Huang, don't be shabby, what kind of skill is that? It was all forced out by that hot pepper. She didn't give me any money. If I hadn't been cheating and bargaining If you report higher, you won’t be able to save even a little private house.”

Ning Shan stopped and looked at him with a slight smile: "The other way around, you go to negotiate with the barbarians and ask for a high price. For example, they are willing to give [-] horses to redeem people. If you talk about [-] horses, that's it." You have made great contributions to the country."

Jia Lian's face became even more bitter, his expressions were tangled, and the onlookers who watched were worried: "How can I have such a skill, it's only [-]% and half, how can it be doubled?"

Ning Shan said: "Here, you ask for a lot of money and let them pay back the money. In short, as long as it is higher than what we expected, it will be a good thing."

Jia Lian thought for a while and said, "Okay, Brother Huang thinks so much about his younger brother, and his younger brother will definitely do his best and die." Ning Shan frowned, and these two sentences sounded awkward when put together, so Jia Lian had to match them again. A person with more decent speech came, thought about it, and suddenly asked, "How is Jia Zhen?" He is the head of the Jia family, and he should be good at managing such trivial matters as silver, rice, money and food.

Jia Lian nodded sharply: "Brother Zhen is better than me. I am poor and love to bargain. He is a money-loser who spends all over the sky. When he goes out to buy things, he doesn't care about the ones that are ten taels a catty. Let him Go and raise the price with someone."

Jia Amnesty expressed doubts: "Don't let him stand inaccurate and deceive his own people." Jia Zhen wasted money from the entire Jia clan. typical.Of course, Jia Lian is a typical example who can't even get up in the nest.

Ning Shan smiled slightly: "If you stand wrong, you will be killed without mercy." Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian shrank their necks in unison, and repeatedly assured: "You must not stand wrong."

After entering Qianqing Palace, Wendong and Wuxi had already lined up in front of the hall, bowed down together, and Jia Lian walked to his seat and knelt down as well. He was the first among the civil servants, and belonged to Guangzhan. Nothing to do.Jia She swaggered forward side by side with Ning Shan, climbed up the stairs, and for the first time sat on the throne in the hall that belonged to the previous emperor for several years.

As soon as the ministers looked up, they returned to the bloody and bloody previous court in a daze, but the illusion disappeared immediately when Ning Shan spoke: "My dear friends, this frontier victory is the biggest since the founding of the country. Congratulations, I want to reduce the tax for March, what do you guys think?" Hearing this, you know it's not the abolished emperor of the previous dynasty. ?

The emperor has decided on such a trivial matter, and naturally no one would be stupid enough to object, so he just listened to the uniform reply: "Your Majesty is wise, this is the blessing of all people."

Ning Shan sighed and said: "When there is no war in the frontier, no hunger in the world, officials are upright and honest, people live and work in peace and contentment, folk roads are not picked up, and rural areas are not closed at night, this is the real blessing for all people." It's bliss.

Jia Amnesty was impassioned and inspiring: "Everyone, do you have the confidence to do what the emperor wants?"

All the nobles nodded vaguely: "Yes, um, probably, we will work hard."

Ning Shan smiled: "I will work hard together with you. If one generation can't do it, ten generations can always do it; if ten generations work hard to lay a good foundation, hundreds and thousands of generations will benefit from it. When the time comes, you will be a book of merit." The great virtuous and powerful at the top of the world."

All the ministers were full of spirits and said loudly: "The ministers swear to follow His Majesty to the death and create a foundation for eternity."

Jia She was dissatisfied and muttered to himself: "The widow also called like this, why no one responded." Only Qiu Shi'an could barely hear the low voice, and secretly groaned in his heart: This is too much for the emperor to say, but others must never hear it.To be a confidant must endure the high risk of being a confidant, so as to get the high return of being a confidant.

Ning Shan nodded in satisfaction and said: "Very well, I am very glad that all the ministers are willing to work together with me to achieve great results, so let's discuss now, how much can we gain from this first battle?"

Jia Lian got the signal and came out and said: "I think we can start with that captive first and demand compensation from their tribe."

Civil and military officials all looked at each other in blank dismay. They had never heard of the need for compensation in war. Throughout the ages, in order to show their majesty and grandeur, the victors of all dynasties always made the losers surrender, gave some symbolic tributes, and then gave them a lot of money. Give back gold and silver.What is the pace of compensation?All the ministers felt that they could not keep up with the thinking of the emperor and prince.

Jia Amnesty came forward and explained: "In the past, they were poor and generous, and spent a lot of effort to whittle down the barbarians. Instead of beating the barbarians to the ground, they gave money, grain, and clothing. What do you say? , After getting so many benefits, who can stop it? Surely there will be troubles as soon as we run out of money. After a while, we will be subdued and rewarded. Repeatedly, we ourselves are poor, but we feed the enemy fat. What?" Just for fun, Jia She knew the thoughts of those former emperors too well, just like prudence, when others complimented him as the head of the family, he would give whatever he wanted.In short, it is to pretend, even if you have to bite the bullet.

He never wanted such a false name. Money is only called money if it is held in his own hands, and it is a crime to put it in someone else's pocket.He has the world in mind and is willing to shoulder all the sins on his shoulders.The more Jia She thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and he was so moved by himself.

Although Jia Amnesty's explanation is vulgar, even vulgar, it is undeniable that the more it is like this, the more excited it is.The Minister of the Household Department first yelled: "The minister seconded His Highness King Taiping." He is also a money stringer, otherwise how could he be called "Qian Tight"?When he thinks about fighting, it's okay to pay out during the process, and continue to pay out if he wins. He feels uncomfortable all over his body, and his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys hurt everywhere.Now that I heard that there is such an operation as compensation from the other party after winning the fight, Qian Jin was as excited as if she was ten years younger.

Minister of the Ministry of War followed up with a proposal: "Let's ask for ten taels per person for the sacrificed soldiers, and five taels for each wounded soldier. This request is not too much." While talking, looking at the small circle of the household department, Qian Jin desperately nodded in agreement.If the Ministry of Man did not pay, he would have to pay the casualty pension. Of course, it would be the best policy to deceive others.

Ning Shan clapped her hands: "Okay, for the time being, at this price, Taiping Wang Ning Jia Lian will come out. I will entrust this important task to you. You can choose your own entourage. Just go get ready and set off at any time."

Jia Lian responded loudly: "My brother obeys the order."

Ning Shan smiled and encouraged, "May you contribute all your strength to the great cause of peace in the world." Jia Lian went out with enthusiasm.

The officials watched him go away, Jia She patted the dragon case, focused his attention back on himself and Ning Shan, cleared his throat: "Let him go about his business, let's continue discussing ours, everyone brainstorming, see what else can we do besides Ning Shan?" Money, what else can I ask for?"
