    When she turned around, she turned to Princess Yingqin. At this moment, she was unaware of the catastrophic disaster on the field and thought she had done everything perfectly.  She returned home here, and the more she thought about it, the more proud she became. After a light trip, she got tens of thousands of silver.

    I went back to my room and closed the door. I was sorting out a box of rubies and sapphires given by the Chen family with a smile. I was thinking about making jewelry for my two daughters and leaving some for my younger son to hire. Suddenly I heard a commotion in the house and I was busy making inquiries.  As a result, an angel came and issued a decree to reprimand him.

    Princess Yingqin received the order, her face turned pale, and she asked with trembling trembling: "Please tell me, father-in-law, to tell the Holy Lord that I, my concubine, have something to say in defense."

    Qin Youde said: "Your Majesty said, 'Princess Ying, I have listened to your defense four years ago in Ningshou Palace. I don't want to hear it anymore this time. It's only three things, so I hope you can do it yourself'!"

    Qin Youde, the manager of the Qianqing Palace, finished reciting Emperor Qianyuan's oral instructions, then bowed and saluted: "Princess, please don't embarrass me."

    At this time, after hearing the news, Prince Ying hurried from his concubine Liu Ruyu¡¯s residence to Yin¡¯an Hall.

    Qin Youde first presented a gift to Prince Ying, and then came up with the second imperial edict, but it was Emperor Qianyuan who rewarded ten ladies.

    Princess Yingqin looked at the ten delicate beauties, her eyes suddenly pierced, and she collapsed to the ground.

    Qin Youde has a flat mouth. He dares to interfere in the bad emperor's plan with his little moral character. It's really a shame for Peng Zu and he thinks he has a long life!

    The Prince of England has been recuperating at home under the pretext of suffering from a leg disease these days, reciting poems and composing poems with his beloved concubine all day long.  Unexpectedly, the emperor rewarded ten beauties. He was a little at a loss. He didn't know what the emperor's brother had in mind. Could it be that the matter of Ping'an Island was not over yet when the reward was refused?

    He quietly gave Youde a piece of chicken heart stone: "May I ask my father-in-law, how are you doing these days, brother? Are there any major events in the court?"

    Youde admired the intelligence of the Prince of England from the bottom of his heart and said: "The turmoil in the northern border area is fierce. General Wei and Wang Jianxian entered Beijing in a sealed letter. The Tatars in the northern Xinjiang asked for the re-division of the territory, but the Japanese pirates in the south wanted to suppress it.  Force us to lift the ban on maritime trade. The Emperor's policy is to retreat, and Your Majesty does not dare to violate it. In order to deal with the Japanese pirates and Tatars, the Emperor's newly established Royal Forest Army is studying formations. But now that the treasury is empty and military expenditures are tight, His Majesty has no choice but to bring up the old matter again.  , pressing down the national debt, I am so busy that I only sleep two or three hours a day. Hey, this servant is really worried about His Majesty's health."

    Prince Ying suddenly remembered that someone had come to deliver something to the Chen family before noon, and the Chen family was a big defaulter.  Coupled with the previous rebuke of 'women interfering in politics', he was silent in his heart, and he probably knew why the emperor brother was doing this.

    After Prince Ying entered the room, he stared at Princess Ying and sneered: "Are you smart, do you think that the emperor doesn't know about your secret affair with Fu Qing? It's just for the sake of my mother and me that I didn't tell the truth. In fact, it's been a long time ago.  I'll keep the account for you. I told you that Fu Qing is not a good person, but you don't believe it. You don't behave like a good princess, but you hook up with a fake princess. Did you hear what you said just now, did you contract the Chen family?  What did you do to anger Brother Huang?"

    Princess Yingqin was reprimanded by Emperor Qianyuan, and she was full of grievances. When she saw Prince Ying coming to investigate, she suddenly broke down and shouted: "Yes, I just did it. What's wrong with relatives meeting their eldest relatives? Prince Xijun is just one  Why do you, the little prince, show off your power in front of your clan? I brought the Chen family's cousin-in-law into the palace to meet my mother. What's wrong?

    "Who told us to be poor? Two daughters are about to get married, and a son is also getting married. Where is the dowry? Where is the betrothal gift? You don't care about anything. You just hug the beauty all day long to recuperate, recite poems and paint. You don't accept any errands, and you only get 10,000 yuan a year.  What can you do if your salary is enough?"

    The Prince of England suddenly became angry: "When my son gets married, the emperor will reward you with a house, a crown, and wedding expenses. When the princess gets married, the court will get a dowry. When will it be your turn to worry about it?"

    Princess Yingqin sneered: "Yes, there is no shortage of houses and clothes. What about the days after their marriage? Clan relatives are not allowed to open shops to compete with the people for profit. They all rely on salary. A thousand taels a year for the prince is okay, but a hundred taels a year for the princess.  What can you do if your salary is not enough? Their dowry is not big enough to show off to your husband¡¯s family? Do you know how much money it takes to give your mother, stepfather and emperor a lovely gift? Birthdays of the emperor and queen, relatives and neighbors of princes, ministers, weddings and funerals, weddings and funerals, which family can do it?  Missed it? Is it for myself, my concubine?"

    Prince Ying sneered: "I didn't expect you to have so many grievances and grievances. Wouldn't it be just right to be grounded now? You don't have to worry about maintaining the dignity of the palace."

    Princess Yingqin became even more crazy after hearing this: "I'm aggrieved, why can't it be done? Why? A son born to his mother is rich all over the world, and our children have to scrape together even dowries? Aren't you aggrieved?  ?"

    Prince Ying was furious when he heard this. He strode forward, swung his arms and slapped Princess Ying on the ear: "If you want to die, just go ahead."?

    Jia Lian said: "The third prince is still in captivity. Sun Shaozu is the third prince's retainer, so you dare to intercede on his behalf? He is more noble than your majesty's prince? Are you not afraid that your majesty will kill you in anger?"

    Jia She was horrified: "So powerful? He is just a retainer"

    Jia Lian said: "Hou Liwen is also a retainer. I would like to advise you, this money should either be handed over to the court as a bribe or returned. Don't dirty your hands."

    Although Jia She's body hurts, he still invites the Sun family's mother and daughter out of Rongguo Mansion.

    Jia Lian went to the Ministry of Punishment and told Sun Shaozu's family that they felt that he was wronged and was asking for mercy.  Huang Mei, the Minister of War, was immediately angry. He originally thought that Sun Shaozu was a military general, and wanted him to go to the northern Xinjiang to serve as an army, so that he might be able to make contributions and stand out.  Even if he doesn't perform any meritorious service, Northern Xinjiang has a greater chance of survival.

    Who would have known that he would be moving around, letting Emperor Qianyuan know that he had indulged him, and would he be able to repay him if he was investigated?

    The emperor lamented that good people cannot do this.  When Sun Shaozu was sent to northern Xinjiang, he should be sent to Lingnan, and he was immediately escorted on the road.

    This was in mid-May.

    That day, Jia Lian was training troops in Xishan when he suddenly saw an internal report. It was an urgent military intelligence report sent back by Wang Ziteng. At the beginning of May, more than 200 Japanese pirates suddenly landed on the coast of Zhejiang. They burned, killed, and looted.  .  One of them was encountered by the local guards and was killed by the enemy at the first sight. Among them, Wang Ziteng highlighted the enemy's weapon, the Japanese sword.  Prince Tengyan called the Japanese sword: "The cold light is so cold that it can chop copper and iron, and it can break hair by blowing it."  Moreover, the Japanese pirates are highly skilled in martial arts, can fight erratically due to the wind blowing from their feet, and can stand alone in battle. Our soldiers are invincible.

    At this point, Jia Lian couldn't sit still: No, chain armor must be made.

    After Jia Lian came down from the mountain, he went directly to King Xijun, who was in charge of the officers and soldiers, and asked to immediately equip the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guard with 20 kilograms of chainmail.

    Prince Xi stared at Jia Lian: "Do you still want your shotgun and blunderbuss?"

    Jia Lian stared: "The shotguns and muskets are the main combat team for long-distance attacks. How can there be no shotguns?"

    Prince Xi Jun spread his hands: "This is over. Five hundred thousand silver is being used to prepare various forced weapons for you to form early. Your Majesty has given repeated orders that they must be adapted to the fine iron forging. The remaining five hundred thousand has been invested in the manufacturing office to build the weapon.  Shotguns and ammunition, this needs to be safe and sound. There was an explosion last month. Not only were all the guns and ammunition destroyed, but more than a dozen craftsmen were also killed. There are also one hundred thousand taels of pay for your troops. With the two million silver back, you  One person spent one million one hundred thousand taels, tell me, there is the Feng Sheng Army in Xishan, the Wu'an Army in Fengtai, the Kru Army in Northern Xinjiang, and the Yongding Army in Haijiang. Do they need equipment and soldiers' pay?"

    Jia Lian sighed: "Once on the battlefield, the soldiers have no armor and no matter how good the weapons are, it will cause a large number of attrition. Wouldn't my several years of training be in vain? That's all. Once the attrition is severe, the power of the battle formation will be greatly reduced. When the time comes,  Where can we find people to fill them? Moreover, without training in the formation, ordinary people cannot fill them. Now, if we only give an extra 200,000 yuan, we can reduce the casualties of these soldiers, why not? As long as there are people, what can't be earned?"

    Prince Xi held his forehead: "Two hundred thousand silver is still less? Let me tell you the truth. I don't have twenty thousand silver in my hand now." After saying that, Prince Xi handed Jia Lian the list of love debts: "If you have the ability, you can take it yourself."  go."

    Jia Lian took a look at the list. First of all, the four princes in the southeast, northwest and northwest owed more than one million in personal debt. They had made a repayment plan and paid it off in ten years. He had personally repaid one hundred thousand.

    Then, the Marquis of Yan, the Duke of Zhen Guo, the Duke of Li Guo, the Duke of Qi, and the Duke of Zhi Guo.  Coupled with the fact that the Duke's family was confiscated and repaired, the Duke of Ning and Rong were demoted, which happened to be the eighth Duke's mansion.

    ??Looking below, the Empress Dowager Zhen's family, the Queen's Xu family, the princess's mansion, the princess's mansion, the Wu family's homes have been confiscated, and the provincial villa has been used to pay off debts, but no one can afford it.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????Out of a line of clan members, the one with the surname Shui, who can afford to offend him?

    ??Furthermore, there are governors and governors in various places.

    The reason why Jia Lian wanted to make a comeback in the coastal areas was that he hated the Japanese pirates for a while, and secondly, he wanted to make achievements so that he would have the qualifications to stand at the head of hundreds of officials in the future.  If he goes to ask for an account, he has already offended everyone in the world before the war begins. How will he be able to hang out in the officialdom from now on?

    Jia Lian held his forehead and handed his hands back to Prince Xi: "Thank you! It's really not easy for you to be in debt!"

    Prince Xijun nodded: "Yes, everyone can just destroy the Jia family and pay off debts like you."

    Jia Lian asked, "How much is the balance of Ning Mansion's debt?" He thought to himself that he might as well find a way to pay it off for Jia Rong, and he would have his own funds.

    Prince Xi waved his hand: "They have been repaying their debts in the past few years. They owe two hundred thousand, which is nothing. You must not offend him. No one can afford to offend the Queen Mother when she gets mad."

    Jia Lian had no choice but to shrink his hands.  Except for Jia Rong, he really can't afford to offend anyone.

    Jia Lian left the Ministry of War with his head sullen. The Royal Forest Army was his own hard work and could not be ruined in vain.  He didn't go home and went straight to Liuli Street to find Pan You'an: "I need an iron master."
