    Jia Rong always trusted Jia Lian, so she went back to the mansion to discuss it with the couple, and felt that Jia Lian's proposal was very good. No one in the palace could be a guard for a lifetime, and there was no need to go to Xishan. Jia's palace had enough imperial guards.

    The couple decided to follow Jia Lian¡¯s advice.

    Zhen Yinglian had long known that Emperor Qianyuan wanted to keep Jia Rong as a bodyguard. Now that Jia Rong wants to find another way out, someone must mediate.

    Zhen Yinglian came to the palace to discuss with the Queen Mother on the pretext of visiting the Queen Mother.

    Emperor Qianyuan was indeed prepared to let Jia Rong continue to be an imperial guard. After all, he knew everything, so the emperor could rest assured.

    Unexpectedly, the emperor suddenly spoke after a long silence, saying that Jia Rong was a smart and loyal child, and suggested that Jia Rong go to the Ministry of War to gain experience, such as becoming a doctor's assistant.

    Emperor Qianyuan was very surprised. The emperor had not interfered in the government affairs for many years. He suddenly remembered that Jia Rong had saved the emperor's life. He was relieved and dumped Jia Rong to become a doctor in the Ministry of War.

    It¡¯s not that Emperor Qianyuan was stingy. During the Taiping years, the Minister of War had to be at least two Jinshi in order to be able to hold the position.  Although Jia Rong was excellent in martial arts, he was not even a scholar, and he had no special merits. It was a bit unexpected to be promoted without any reason.

    The emperor is also afraid of the censor¡¯s iron mouth and teeth!

    The words are divided into two parts, but they talk about the maritime affairs.

    In mid-August, Wang Ziteng once again made an urgent war report of 800 miles to Beijing. Japanese pirates became more and more rampant in the Fujian and Zhejiang areas. They often came ashore and looted villages. Nine out of ten houses along the coast were empty.

    At the same time, Wang Ziteng also suggested recruiting a group of pirates at sea.

    This pirate has a powerful fleet that travels across Fujian and Zhejiang to do business, and Japanese pirates will retreat when they see it.  Wang Ziteng once led a scout to go to sea to find the whereabouts of King Zhongshun. He encountered Japanese pirates and almost wiped out his entire army. He was finally rescued by this group of pirates and survived.

    Prince Teng said that this group of pirates were actually businessmen from the Fujian and Zhejiang areas in the past. In order to survive against the Japanese pirates, they formed an alliance with the local Jianghu people and gradually formed the current model.  Moreover, this group of pirates only travels at sea and never goes ashore to harm the people.

    At the same time, Wang Ziteng also mentioned a group of local warriors who fought against the Japanese.

    It was said that a group of Japanese pirates were plundering in Yiwu, Zhejiang Province. The local men rose up to resist. As a result, the twenty Japanese pirates who entered the village to loot were all wiped out.

    Wang Ziteng suggested that the villagers along the coast of Zhejiang were very brave and fierce, and many of them had no choice but to become Japanese pirates. He suggested that the imperial court recruit village braves on the spot and use them for the imperial court.  Pay soldiers to support their families so that they can concentrate on fighting against Japanese pirates.

    It is a pity that Emperor Qianyuan had a deep prejudice against the villagers in Fujian and Zhejiang because most of the Japanese pirates were people from Fujian and Zhejiang. He believed that recruiting them would do more harm than good and would harm the reputation of the imperial court.  Therefore, Wang Ziteng's secret fold was put away in a high cabinet.

    At the same time that Emperor Qianyuan received the secret message, Jia Lian also received the same news. Jia Lian found it difficult to control pirates.  However, Jia Lian was very optimistic about Xiang Yong's strength. Jia Lian seemed to have seen a new force and thought this was a good opportunity for the court to leverage his strength.

    After waiting for several days, there was no movement from Emperor Qianyuan. Jia Lian was worried about Emperor Qianyuan's vision.  In order for Wang Ziteng to seize the opportunity, he immediately wrote a letter, suggesting that Wang Ziteng give certain support to the civilian anti-Japanese teams within his ability, so that they would not be helpless, unable to see the light of day and had to join forces, or be completely wiped out.

    Prince Teng had been waiting for the imperial court's recruitment notice for a long time, but he was nowhere to be seen. When he received a letter from Jia Lian, he smiled bitterly and had no choice but to do so.

    However, Wang Ziteng did not dare to blatantly attack Ji Xiangyong.  Therefore, it was proposed to build fortifications in Fujian and Zhejiang, but the construction work was handed over to these local warriors and then paid heavily.  Then he gave a batch of damaged weapons to the village heroes, allowing them to forge them into the weapons they urgently needed.

    Although this method is of little use and cannot completely alleviate the plight of Xiangyong, it can allow these enterprising people to survive and have hope in their hearts.  It also made the people here understand that the imperial court had not abandoned them, it was just that it was temporarily difficult to take care of them.

    It should be noted that in order to prepare for war, the imperial court is increasing taxes on a large scale. It is good that the Yongding Army can take care of them a little.

    Emperor Qianyuan's indecisiveness once again made Jia Lian wary. After a few days of silence, Jia Lian made a decision. He secretly recruited Pan You'an to discuss and decided to let Pan You'an stay in the East Province in the name of going to the East Province to purchase medicinal herbs and build a secret palace.  Warehouses store large amounts of grain and grass.

    " Subsequently, Jia Lian told Jia Rong that starting from this autumn, no matter what the crops in the east province of Ningfu are, as long as they can be imported, they will no longer be sold and all will be stored for emergencies.

    Jia Rong immediately expressed his support and quickly ordered people to go to the eastern province to ask Wu Jinxiao for help.??Cooperate fully with Pan Youan.

    In mid-August, Sister Feng promoted Qingwen to be the personal maid during the Spring Festival, and arranged for Si Qi to go home to get married.

    At the end of August, Jia Lian arranged the marriage between Pan Youan and Si Qi.  And Pan Youan Si Qifa and his wife were deregistered.

    In this way, the child born to Si Qi will no longer be a slave. Although he cannot study, he can donate his official position as a prisoner.  The third generation children can study and become officials.

    When Pan Youan and Si Qi heard the news, they both went to Hemerocallis Hall to worship Sister Jia Lianfeng for her promotion.  The couple both vowed to serve Jia Lianfeng and his wife for the rest of their lives.

    After Pan Youan got married, Jia Lian arranged for the couple to live in the front yard, next to Jia Linglin and Xiaohong.

    Jia Lian arranged for Pan You'an to rest for seven days, and secretly told Pan You'an: "Time is urgent, but we can make a human being!"

    Sister Feng is not idle either. She is rewarded with food boxes every day. Si Qipan enjoys food and drink for a hundred days and enjoys fish and water at midnight.  Like this, more than a month passed.  In early September, Mr. Wu asked Si Qi to have a safe pulse, and sure enough, he felt a happy pulse.

    Pan Youan was very happy and stayed with his beloved wife for half a month.  At the end of September, Pan You'an had to bid farewell to his beloved wife, took a large amount of gold and silver, and ten mute servants, and secretly set out for the Eastern Province to carry out Jia Lian's secret order to build high walls and stockpile grain.

    Half a month later, Pan Youan sent back a message that he had arranged for several people to buy grain from all over the world in the name of a wine cellar. Most of the grain stored by each noble family had been acquired, and a warehouse was being built secretly. Everything went well, please rest assured Jia Lian.

    Jia Lian's tense heartstrings relaxed a little.

    This day is October 15th.  Jia Lian was reading the imperial palace newspaper in Shuijingfang. Suddenly, Jia Lian became alert.  However, someone entered Mengpo Zhai of Rongguo Mansion from the back wall of the ancestral hall of Ning Mansion.

    Jia Lian quickly spread his consciousness and instantly saw the identity of the person coming, but it was the eldest prince Shui Cheng.  This was because Yu Liuyue provided wrong information. The eldest prince thought that Jia Lian was still in Mengpozhai's study.

    Jia Lian was wrong when he said something wrong. He was busy sneaking to the backyard of Mengpozhai study, pretending to be sound asleep.

    Shuicheng has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He crossed the low courtyard of the study and entered the courtyard in silence. He followed the route given by Yu Liuyue and reached the door of Jia Lian's study in Mengpo Zhai.  The clear water pretended to be coquettish, and chanted: "Isn't it true that a friend is coming from afar?"

    "I am a gentleman, why do you become a thief?"

    Shuicheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Captain is so eloquent!"

    Jia Lian slowly walked out and said with a smile: "It's just a joke, Your Highness is so elegant. Could it be that the moon in our Rong Mansion is better than the moon in Xishan?"

    Shuicheng bowed and said, "It's Gu Menglang. The captain knows that the prince is not allowed to associate with his ministers. If you have anything to do, please ask the captain. That's why I have no choice but to make this decision. Please forgive me."

    Jia Lian stretched out his hand and said, "Your Highness, please sit down and speak."

    The man in Shui Cheng, wearing a golden sword, was sitting at the head of the desk.

    Jia Lian bowed his hands and saluted: "May I ask what your Majesty's orders are?"

    Shui Chengyan said: "Of course, well, there's nothing important, but I've been watching the battle reports on the sea these days, and I'm worried. I hate the Japanese pirates for disturbing my territory and massacring my people. As a prince, I can't do anything. This time Wang Jianyan gave advice.  , Gu Shen agreed, but unfortunately his father disagreed. Gu asked several times to go to the sea to experience, but his father refused. Instead, he said that Gu was a young man who didn't know that the world was dangerous. Alas, I came to the government today just to ask the captain if he could  Can you give me an idea so that I can go to the sea to supervise the battle?"

    Jia Lian shook his head: "Your Highness may not be able to fulfill his wish."

    Shui Cheng was greatly disappointed: "I see you can always impress your father with your words and fulfill your wishes. Isn't there any way to help me?" He said with a look of anger on his face: "Don't you also think that I am incapable of supervising a battle? A child's mind and a young man's spirit?"

    Jia Lian waved his hand: "No! Your Highness is the eldest son of His Majesty. How can you put Your Highness under a dangerous wall? Your concern will lead to chaos, and it has nothing to do with His Majesty's ability!"

    Shuicheng's face brightened slightly when he heard this.  Looking at Jia Lian, he felt a little embarrassed and said, "Well, I don't mean to blame you, but I feel a little anxious."

    Jia Lian calmly asked, "His Royal Highness just now said, is Wang Jiandian's advice acceptable?"

    Shuicheng nodded: "Yes, since the pirates were able to rescue Wang Jiandian from the Japanese pirates, it means that they are loyal to the court and have good nature. And the brave people from Yiwu, Zhejiang, I think they can be called anti-Japanese heroes, worthy of promotion, and should be rewarded  .¡±

    Jia Lian's eyes lit up when he heard this.

    But I heard Shuicheng continue to say: "I thought that at this critical moment when the enemy is strong and we are weak, the court should gather all forces to attack the Japanese pirates to the maximum extent. Furthermore, pirates and Japanese pirates are both active at sea, so they must understand each other.  , This is exactly where we are lacking. Recruiting pirates can be regarded as making up for our weaknesses. In this way, on the one hand, we will enhance our strength, slowly improve our naval combat force, wait for the time to mature, and then wipe out all the Japanese pirates!"

    Jia Lian clapped his hands: "Your Highness is a talented person!"

    Shui Cheng sighed: "The saints say that there is no distinction between education and distinction. Unfortunately, my father doesn't like them! He thinks they are cunning, cunning, greedy and cruel, and cannot be taught."

    Jia Lian clapped his hands: "Your Highness is a talented person!"

    Shui Cheng sighed: "The saints say that there is no distinction between education and distinction. It's a pity that my father doesn't like them! He thinks they are cunning, cunning, greedy and cruel, and cannot be taught." (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com
