Yangzhou Prefecture, Yanzheng Yamen.
"Aren't you up yet?"
At two quarters of noon, Jia Congzheng was discussing matters with Han Tao, Yao Yuan, Wei Chen and others, counting and checking the proceeds from the confiscation of the house. After hearing Chi Yu's personal report, he couldn't help frowning.
After Chi Yu answered affirmatively, Jia Cong thought for a while and said: "Young Master Qing is exhausted. When I rode south from the capital, I almost fell apart overnight. If Guo Yun and the others hadn't taught me how to sleep immediately, I wouldn't have been able to hold on. Hao JingOkay, when you go back, have hot water and lighter side dishes ready for her to use at any time."
After Chi Yu heard the words and retreated, Han Tao showed a look of concern on his face.
He was a disciple of Ye Qing¡¯s family and received her blessings.
If not for this, how could he survive to this day in the desert of Jinyishi in the capital?
Thinking of this, Jia Cong suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Yao Yuan beside him thoughtfully.
"Han Tao was protected by Ye Qing and did not die in the hands of Zhen Yuanxungui.
What about Yao Yuan?
Glancing at Yao Yuan who was looking at his nose and mouth, Jia Cong didn't ask anything.
Originally, the existence of the North and South Zhenfu Envoys was to facilitate the emperor to bypass the Jinyiwei command envoys and directly command the Jinyiwei.
If the glorious history of Confucianism for two thousand years has left any most useful experience for those in power, it is the art of balance and checks and balances.
Anyone who breaks this rule, whether he is a monarch or a minister, will hardly end up with a good result.
No matter past, present or future.
Therefore, Jia Cong can tolerate their differences
Because, originally they were just usable people, not confidants.
¡¡
"My lord, 70% should be given to the vassal treasury. Is this is this too much?"
Han Tao bargained with pain in his body.
The Bai family, the Qin family, plus the An family who committed suicide, the three families confiscated only nearly 1.5 million taels of silver.
The main reason is that the Qin family is a partner, and most of their wealth is concentrated in land.
"This 1.5 million taels of cash is not worth half of Taicang, but it is also worth a year's tax money in several northwest provinces.
"And after Taicang's revenue and expenditure were completed for a year, one million taels of silver fell, which was a good year.
"The salt merchant is so rich that he can rival the country. Is it a joke?"
If you include land deeds, land deeds, shops, antique furniture, etc., the figure is astronomical.
It is really a test of human nature to confiscate the home of such a wealthy person.
In the past few days, Shen Lang and his guards in Nanzhen Fusi have had seven or eight heads chopped off for reaching out randomly, but they still couldn't stop reaching out to hide.
The home that took such a hard work actually sent 70 % to the Jiangnan Provincial Treasury, which made Han Tao very reluctant and couldn't figure it out.
When Jinyiwei was first established, money was everywhere.
As far as he knows, if only 30% is retained, it can barely cover the basic expenses of the Jinyiwei in the six provinces.
But the Jinyi Guards still need to strengthen, especially the intelligence system, which is the real gold-selling cave
But Jia Cong said calmly: "Old Han, you are Lao Jinyi, don't you know how those commanders who did not die well died?"
When Han Tao heard this, he was horrified.
Yao Yuan and others on the side also looked solemn and looked at Jia Cong.
Jia Cong waved his hand to stop Han Tao from getting up to defend himself, and said: "I don't blame you for anything, I just hope that you, and all of you, will remember that even if the Jinyi Guards are the emperor's own soldiers, they must abide by the rules and the laws of the country. . The Jinyiwei is a transcendent existence and only needs to be responsible to the emperor. But the ultimate mission of the Jinyiwei is to maintain the emperor's authority and safeguard the emperor's interests. And the emperor's greatest interest is the peace of the country and the people, and the stability of the country! Therefore, the Jinyiwei is not a destroyer. , but maintainers.
We must maintain the order of Daqian and eliminate all those who dare to trample on the order and destroy it.
The commanders of the Imperial Army who were once killed by the Emperor were not killed by the Emperor, but because the commanders themselves had forgotten their true mission.
As a defender, he is destroying the laws and rules of the court, and destroying the foundation of the emperor to protect the people.
It would be difficult for a person like this not to die. "
Shen Lang and Zhan Peng only half-understood these words, but when they heard them, Han Tao and Yao Yuan, two old men in Jinyi, and Wei Chen, who had a knack for strategy, they were shocked like thunder.
They looked at Jia Cong with horror in their eyes.nbsp;When Zhan Peng heard this, he immediately grimaced and said, "Sir, I am not a talkative woman"
Jia Cong was too lazy to talk to him and said seriously: "Stop chatting, let's discuss the Qiu family's affairs."
As soon as these words came out, Zhan Peng and Shen Lang both became serious.
Especially Shen Lang, who glanced at the thin stack of banknotes on the small table, a flash of self-blame flashed in his eyes.
I felt embarrassed at the time and took too little. I will not be lenient next time!
¡¡
Night falls.
At the end of the hour, Jia Cong returned to the back house after a busy day.
Go to the main room and visit Lin Ruhai.
Today, Zhang Youshi came to perform acupuncture again. Although he knew that there would be no change, he was not there during the day and it was hard not to come and see at night.
There were two nuns on vigil outside the main room waiting. Seeing Jia Cong come in, they hurriedly said: "Brother is here, sister is inside."
Jia Cong nodded, glanced at the two of them, and went inside without saying anything.
Originally, these people were to be replaced, but Jia Cong currently has no suitable people.
¡°If he buys them at the Yangzhou Furen Market, he can guarantee that nine out of ten of them will belong to someone else.
What is the background of a wealthy family? It is that there are endless available people in it.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Although it may not be reliable, it is much more knowledgeable than buying it outside.
Without being able to inherit the family business, Jia Cong¡¯s current foundation is still too thin.
So we can only keep these people for the time being
"Third brother, are you done with your work? Have you had dinner?"
Entering inside, he saw Daiyu standing up from a coral stool and greeted her.
She wears a white lotus-colored jacket embroidered with gold thread, and a bud-yellow damask skirt with cloud fairy pattern underneath.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????? A beautiful and charming look that makes people¡¯s eyes light up.
After Jia Cong took a look at it, he smiled and said, "I've finished my work and haven't eaten yet. Come and see my uncle. How are you? Is your uncle feeling better?"
Daiyu's face darkened slightly when she heard this, she shook her head and said softly: "It's still the same"
Jia Cong smiled warmly and said: "That means it hasn't gotten worse, which is a good thing!"
Daiyu was startled when she heard this and looked up at Jia Cong. Although she was not convinced yet, her eyes were no longer dim.
Jia Cong smiled at her, walked around a mahogany four-door screen, looked at the unconscious Lin Ruhai on the bed, narrowed his eyes slightly, bowed, and then said to Daiyu who was following him: "You Let's go back early so as not to disturb my uncle's rest. My uncle has worked hard all his life and is too tired. He will wake up when he has rested."
Even though she knew that these were false words to comfort people, Daiyu still felt warm in her heart when she heard the words. She looked at Jia Cong and nodded gently.
Looking at the gratitude in these clear black and white eyes, Jia Cong smiled, looked around, and asked, "Where are Aunt Qiu and Zicuckoo?"
Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled and said softly: "Aunt Qiu heard that she was going to Qiu Garden as a guest, so she went back to prepare. Zicuckoo, Qingwen just came to Zicuckoo and said she wanted to carve a shoe pattern. A few days ago Ri Qingwen still doesn¡¯t like Zijuan very much, but she¡¯s gotten better in the past two days.¡±
Jia Cong nodded and said with a smile: "She is straight-tempered. It doesn't matter whether she likes her or not Let's go too. I'll take you back first and then go to dinner."
Daiyu rolled her eyes and said softly: "What's the hurry? It's still early. I'll go sit in your courtyard and then go back with Zicuckoo."
Jia Cong naturally couldn't say no, so he smiled and walked towards his courtyard with Daiyu.
As we walked out of the door, the night wind picked up, and a faint moon rose in the sky.
Seeing that Daiyu was not wearing a cloak, Jia Cong shook his head, took off his own cloak, draped it behind her, and blamed her for being careless.
Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, without excuse or refusal
