The Rich and the Idlers of the Red Chamber

Jia Amnesty did not do it in vain. After all, the economic aggression of the Tatars cannot be put on the bright side. On the bright side, it is a harmonious society, good-neighborly and friendly, and common prosperity. Therefore, the sage gave Jia She a lot of rewards. He directly promised that within five years of trading with Tatar, Jia She could take [-]% of the wool spinning workshop.

As for Tu Mingyun, he also benefited naturally. Not only was he able to get a share of it, the saint also rewarded him with two Huangzhuang and a garden, which made him shine among the princes.

For the next thing, Jia She simply didn't touch it. Anyway, he had already gained enough benefits. He is not a greedy person. With how much ability and bowl, all he has to do is to add some to himself. In the future, unless the one who ascends the throne is a lunatic, otherwise, the Jia family will have no problems within a few generations. As for what will happen afterwards, it will be the problem of the descendants, and Jia Amnesty can't control that much.

Today's Holy Majesty is not a mean and ungrateful person, on the contrary, he is very generous to those who are pleasing to the eye. If it weren't for this, the Zhen family would not be as arrogant as they are today.

The Holy Majesty felt that money alone was not enough to reward Jia She's achievements. Jia She's family now has only one wife and one son. Mrs. Zhang's wife is honorable, and she is already a marquis. But if there is no good reason, it is obviously not a reliable thing to let a yellow-mouthed child out of the limelight.

The general concept these days is that the so-called family and country, the family comes first, and the country comes after. For human beings, the greatest punishment is probably not death, but excommunication.Any problems with the tribe will also affect the family. If the family declines, it will be difficult for the tribe to avoid it.

Therefore, the sage pondered that it was obviously unrealistic to reward Jia's amnesty, so it would be better to extend it to Jia's family.The problem is that although Jia She was born in the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Daishan is gone now. The Rongguo Mansion was succeeded by Jia Zheng. When he thinks of Jia Zheng, the saint can't help but frown. Jia Daishan has always been a hero, and Jia She is also a talented person. Zheng is simply not like his own. He has high eyes and low hands, self-righteous, and has no responsibility at all.

To promote such a person, a sage feels a shock in his heart.In particular, Jia She and the Rongguo Mansion are now on the verge of death, and there is only a superficial relationship left. The Shi family wanted to take advantage of Jia She. Shi Shi is also helpless.

Ningguo Mansion, on the other hand, the sage didn't think much of it. Jia Daihua was not as good as Jia Daishan, and his ability was also a bit weaker. However, Jia Daihua has always been aware of current affairs, and his son Jia Jing is a second-class Jinshi. He was released as an official a few years ago. Well, the sage asked someone, Jia Jing did not do badly outside, Jia Jing was born in the Ningguo Mansion, and he was not short of money, and he didn't need to be corrupt and bribery. As for the title, but few people can get it in front of him, so there is no need to be too jealous of the boss's ideas, the behavior is very fair, the rule is also considered clear, and the bureaucrats are not easy to open their eyes and talk nonsense. Although the evaluation is not excellent, it is also first-class.

The saint has feelings for the nobles. When the saint was young, several of his companions were from noble families. After the saint ascended the throne, those nobles were also quite honest. People like Jia Daishan have always been loyal to the saint. , especially, Xungui is no better than those civil servants, Xungui is because of this, he has always treated these honorables with respect.

But the sage also knows that the virtue of a gentleman will be cut off for five generations. Now the world is peaceful and there is no war. Those honorable families have no use for their talents. The family is hidden, and they act a little unscrupulously. They are just a bunch of dudes who never make big mistakes, but keep making small mistakes.

Since the sage has a lot of affection for the nobles, he naturally doesn't want these nobles to decline like this, maybe they will be liquidated by the next emperor in the future, so he has long thought of setting up a model.

Jia She is not good, this talent is there, but it is not mainstream, not everyone can be like Jia She, who has these relatively unorthodox skills, just like later generations, for most people, Taking the college entrance examination, taking the college entrance examination and finding a job is a relatively normal choice.

But Jia Jing is different. He was born in an orthodox noble family, the son of a prince, but he studied hard since he was a child, and became a Jinshi when he was around 30 years old. In a noble family, this is really an inspirational model.After pondering in this way, the sage had the idea of ​​supporting Jia Jing.

Things in the officialdom have been the same throughout the ages. If the leader is optimistic about you, it’s okay if you can’t do it; if the leader doesn’t like you, you can’t do it either!Jia Jing was not mediocre in the first place, and the sage wanted to set Jia Jing up as a model of honorable families. Therefore, Jia Jing's fortune has come. He came back to attend the funeral for Jia Daishan. He is the nephew of the next room. Filial piety, but there is no need for Ding You, so after asking for leave to express condolences, he hurried back.

In the end, how long did it take before Jia Jing received the order to go to Beijing to report on his work, and returned to the capital with some confusion.

Jia Jing just returned to the capital, and before he had time to exchange a few words with his father, he received the order and immediately went to the palace to meet the saint.

Jia Jing is good-looking, and he also has real talents and knowledge in his stomach. He has been an official in the local area for these years, and he has learned a lot. Talking to the sage has something to say, and the sage naturally expressed appreciation, so he directly He said: "Back then, the Jia family was a duo, and now there are two descendants of you and Jia She. It seems that it will not be difficult for the Jia family to prosper for decades!"

Jia Jing knew some ins and outs in his heart, and it seemed that when he was not around, what extraordinary things did his cousin do, but he said humbly: "The sage praised me absurdly, and the minister is stupid. He tried his best, but he was not as talented as pardoning his cousin, and he couldn't deserve such praise from the Holy One!"

The saint shook his head and said: "Although your cousin is talented, he is not an official. Putting him in the court is a waste of his talent, but you are different. I have seen you. The evaluation of being an official abroad for many years is really top-notch. I was worried that the sons of Xungui only knew that they were hidden from their ancestors and seldom made progress. Now that I see you like this, I am relieved! Xungui is one with the country. Although I have the intention to support you, It also depends on the ability of their descendants, since you are talented, as long as you do your best, I will naturally give you promotions and rewards!"

Jia Jing was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed to the sage, the sage said with a smile: "Stay flat, go back and rest for a few days, Jia Daihua is lonely living in Ningguo mansion all these years, you didn't leave your son in the capital either. Your father has no grandson to hug, so he ran to tease other people's children! You can stay in the capital as an official in the future, and you can also be filial to your father. I am old too, and your father is two years older than me!"

After hearing this, Jia Jing hurriedly said: "The sage will live forever, now is his prime, how can he be old?"

The saint shook his head and said: "You, you are not as honest as your cousin, that's enough, go back and wait for the appointment of the official department!"

Jia Jing was a little puzzled in his heart when he talked about Jia Amnesty's friendly tone to the saint, but he didn't show it on the surface, and kowtowed again: "Your Excellency, leave!"

"Go down!" The sage waved his hand, and Jia Jing then exited the imperial study room. It was already autumn, but Jia Jing still felt a layer of fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, and the underwear he wore seemed to be Some tide.

When Jia Jing returned to Ningguo Mansion, Jia Daihua was waiting for him. Seeing that he looked good, a smile appeared on his face: "Is the saint going to use you?" It was a question, but it actually meant affirmation.

Jia Jing took a deep breath and said, "Exactly, the sage asked his son to rest at home for a while, waiting for the official appointment!"

Jia Daihua has also aged a lot in the past two years. Originally, he took good care of himself, but since Jia Daishan passed away, Jia Daihua also felt a bit sad, and gradually his spirit became worse than before. Boss, Jia Jing looked surprised, remembered what the sage said before, and quickly stepped forward to support Jia Daihua.

Jia Daihua shook off Jia Jing's hand, and said, "Don't get in the way, your father is not yet ready to be buried, go, tell me, what did the sage tell you before?"

Jia Jing honestly repeated what the sage had said to him, and Jia Daihua was immediately amused, and said, "It seems that you have won the honor of that kid Jia She this time! If you can’t get up, it’s your turn! That kid Jia She, he hasn’t stopped these days, he has made a lot of things out, and the saint even summoned him before! You should have seen the mansion report outside, right? Well, the saint intends to set up another weaving bureau. It seems that he intends to put it in the north. I don’t know where it is. Now the court is busy with it! My uncle is so secretive, it's really outrageous!"

Speaking of this, Jia Daihua stomped his feet like an old child, his face was full of dissatisfaction, and then he gave Jia Jing a blank look: "You brought your wife and son to Ren before, Zhener Looking at it now, it looks quite decent, and you have almost read the Four Books! However, Zhen'er is so old, why don't you and your wife have a younger brother for Zhen'er, or a granddaughter!"

Jia Jing couldn't help being a little depressed, he didn't know what was going on, he was in good health, and his daughter-in-law Xu's health was also fine, but he just couldn't get pregnant in the past few years, what could he do!Jia Jing didn't think about the meaning of letting those concubine concubines give birth. The Jia family didn't value the children born of concubines.

Seeing Jia Jing's expression, Jia Daihua smiled: "Okay, you have been off the service for several months now, Mr. Xi is good at medicine, let's go to him tomorrow, and you were called back to the capital by the saint before your term of office expired." , here is also the credit of the pardon boy, no matter what, I have to come to the door to express it, and ask him to help you look at it by the way!"

Jia Jing listened, feeling a little numb. This cousin of his, who hadn't communicated with him for several years, turned out to be an all-rounder, which is really hard for Jia Jing to accept!
