Across the Red Mansion: Jia Amnesty's original partner

007

"What?" Zhang Lei was a little confused when Zhang Jianing handed him a piece of paper, but when Zhang Lei saw what was written on it, he was very surprised: "Where did you get this thing?"

Zhang Ding and Zhang Shou watched Zhang Lei curiously after seeing Zhang Lei's surprised expression. Zhang Shou couldn't help swallowing and said, "Sister, this thing..." Zhang Shou wanted to say something but didn't know what to say.

"A few days ago, I accidentally broke a Guanyin statue. I found this one inside. I thought that if it is really used to strengthen the embankment as mentioned above, it should save many people from floods every year."

Yes, what Zhang Jianing took out was the recipe for firing cement, which was also the reason why Zhang Lei was excited and surprised.

As mentioned earlier, Zhang Lei was the minister of the Ministry of Industry in the Jin Dynasty. Zhang Lei can naturally see what kind of effect this prescription can play if it is true. It is no wonder that he is not excited.

Even if he can't be promoted to rank, it can still benefit the common people, and more importantly, it will definitely make him a celebrity, which is the greatest pursuit of an official.

"This is definitely a good opportunity, father, the emperor was still worried about the flood season of the Yellow River a few days ago, if,,," Zhang Shou grinned behind his ears thinking that his family might be promoted to a noble.

"Shut up," Zhang Lei glanced at Zhang Shou: "You only think about good things, why don't you think about how many people will be blocked when this happens."

Although Zhang Lei would accept filial piety from his subordinates, he was definitely not a greedy person. What he received was within the scope allowed by the emperor.

But his not being greedy does not mean others are not being greedy.Every year during the flood season of the Yellow River, half of the disaster-relief silver allocated by the imperial court has been embezzled before it reaches the local area, and very little money actually reaches the victims.

Although this cement is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, if it is really taken out, it will block the way of many people. Don't get any benefits in the end, and your whole family will get involved instead.

Zhang Lei is not a saint either. Although he also has a heart of loving the people, it is not more important than the safety and joy of his family.

Another one, Zhang Lei is now the Minister of the Ministry of Industry of the first rank, and it will be difficult to go up, so he began to hesitate whether to donate things.

"Father, why don't you secretly go to the emperor and show him this, then the fact that father is the minister of the Ministry of Industry will definitely come back to father?"

Zhang Jianing suggested from behind: "It's fine to make a lot of fanfare, it's better for us to make a fortune in silence."

"You don't think father can think of this. No one in the court is a genius. As long as this matter is exposed, anyone who has been close to the emperor can be found out by the eighteen generations of their ancestors." Zhang Lei laughed at his daughter's innocence.

"Then this prescription,,,?" If it doesn't work, isn't it just blind?Zhang Jianing thought to himself.

In fact, the reason why Zhang Jianing found such a prescription was also because of this body. In the original book, the master of the Central Plains died shortly after giving birth to Jia Lian, and the Zhang family never appeared later, whether it was when the Jia family was in glory or in decline.

Judging from the character of the Zhang family, even if Jia Lian was picked up later to be estranged from his uncle's family, but later Jia's house was ransacked and Jia Lian was exiled, it makes no sense that the Zhang family never showed up.

Zhang Jianing felt that either, something happened to the Zhang family before Jia Lian was born, or something happened to the Zhang family later, in short, something happened, so he couldn't help Jia Lian.

That's why Zhang Jianing thought of using the cement recipe to increase the Zhang family's bargaining chips, for the original owner and for himself.

One must know how important an ancient woman's natal family was. In order to live a more comfortable life in the future, and to fulfill some karma of the original owner, she had to find a way to preserve the Zhang family.

Think about it, the world of Dream of Red Mansions alludes to the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, and during the Kangxi period, the most talked about thing is probably the Kowloon seizure of the throne. Well, Zhang Jianing was a third-rate writer in her previous life, and she didn’t care much about other major issues. That's it.

Thinking about the memory of the original owner, Zhang Lei has always been a cautious person. If something really happened, it might be because of the prince incident in the original Dream of the Red Chamber, right?Maybe it was implicated?

Thinking of Zhang Jianing, she is not calm. She has been pregnant for more than five months with this body. If the Zhang family had an accident before Jia Lian was born, wouldn't it be too long?

"Why is Daddy hesitating? Now that the flood is flooding, isn't it my job as a subject to share the worries of the emperor? As long as Daddy is dedicated to serving the emperor, I believe the emperor will always be able to protect the Zhang family."

Zhang Jianing suddenly said bluntly: "Didn't daddy have the opportunity to hand over the paper to the emperor directly? Why don't daddy just put the prescription on the paper when he goes to court?"

"Well, it seems that you can't hide it in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty?" Zhang Jianing's second brother said suspiciously.

"Okay, let's do it this way, I believe no one can think of it." This method was decided by Zhang Lei.
