It was getting late, and Dao Yin and Yan Wei didn't stay long, and left quickly.

On the contrary, Jia Jiu was very uneasy about Dao Yin's words, not only did he not sleep all night, but he even made an exception and did not go back to the [Advanced Cultivation Ground] for retreat, but sat under the lamp all night. He didn't even notice that when he asked the teachers to resign the next day, they had a neat but strange attitude.

On the contrary, it was Jia Yu, who noticed that something was wrong with his daughter at the first time.

"Girl, what happened?"

"Father's ......"

Jia Jiu hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether he should tell the truth to Jia Yu. After all, he hid the matter of salt and fertilizer from Jia Yu.

However, Jia Jiu himself also knew that he couldn't hide this kind of thing from Jia Yu all the time. Jia Yu is his father after all, and he is also the head of the Jia family, even if Jia Yu doesn't care about some things, he must let Jia Yu know, otherwise, what is the difference between him, a daughter, and Mrs. Jia Zhengwang and his wife?

This is the result of Jia Jiu thinking about it all night.

He decided that even if the Jia family couldn't do the matter of salt and fertilizer, he should also make a deal with Jia Yu.

Jia Yu looked at her daughter with a blue and ashamed look, thinking that her daughter had made a mistake outside, and wanted to find herself to be the master for him. Jia Yu was as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood. It's been a long time since he's experienced the sense of accomplishment of being a father.

It wasn't until after listening to her daughter's words that Jia Yu reacted.

Regarding his daughter's concealment, to be honest, Jia Yu was not as angry as Jia Jiu imagined. He is different from Jia Zheng, Jia Zheng is inferior to others because of himself. So in many cases, he will never allow his children to disobey him. This is very obvious in Jia Baoyu. Jia Baoyu doesn't like to read. Jia Zheng could have guided him well, but in fact, Jia Yu didn't do it. On the contrary, when Jia Zheng faced Jia Baoyu, although there was a bit of fatherly love in it, it was always his father's majesty that came out. And not the warmth of a father.

As for Jia Yu, the biggest difference between him and Jia Zheng is that Jia Zheng always puts on his majesty in front of his children and makes his children afraid of him. But Jia Yu will only do it to his son when he is provoked, and more often, Jia Yu is tolerant of his children.

Salt and fertilizer. Well done. It is indeed a good thing to gain fame and fortune, and Jia Yu is also very clear about this. And unlike outsiders, Jia Yu is full of confidence in his daughter. Since her daughter said that this salt fertilizer can definitely be done, then Jia Yu believes that this salt fertilizer will definitely have good results in the end.

It just takes a lot of time.

Jia Yu said to himself: Those Zhuangzi that his daughter made. I only earned money before, and I didn't see any income until this year. Those Zhuangzi. The daughter didn't think he had been reciprocating for a long time. This salt fertilizer, since her daughter has said that the effect is slow, it will be better if he needs ten years.

Ten years.

Jia Yu sighed and said, "Girl, since you yourself think that this thing is slow to work, then the family is good." ”

"Father!"

Jia Jiu's eyes widened in surprise, he was surprised that Jia Yu would say this.

Jia Yu smiled, touched her daughter's head, and said, "Girl, in life, there are things you should do and things you can't do. You worry about bringing disaster to your family, but your father doesn't see it that way. ”

Jia Jiu got up, respectfully bowed to his father, knelt on the ground, and said, "Please teach my father." ”

Jia Yu helped her daughter up and let her return to her seat, and then said: "You have seen the benefits in ten years, but you have not seen the hardships in ten years. You also said that even if you get this salt fertilizer, it will take a lot of time and money. This is definitely not something that a family or two can afford, even if your sister Lin's family is nearly 10 million, she can't afford it. Do you know that your sister Lin helped you, because he was kind-hearted, but he also made the two of you on the cusp at the same time. Even if his younger brothers don't say anything, his younger siblings will have opinions in the future. Do you understand? ”

Seeing that her daughter lowered her head, Jia Yu knew that her daughter had listened.

Jia Yu has always known that this daughter is a capable and thoughtful person. Of course, he also knows that his daughter follows him in some aspects, saying that it sounds good is cautious, and saying that it is not good is that she is timid and afraid.

However, Jia Yu never felt that cowardice would be a bad thing, because in his position, the most taboo thing was to be bold. If you are bold enough to plot something, that is the real disaster for your family.

Jia Yu said: "Child, you have thought too much about this matter of salt and fertilizer. When you think of this, you also think of that, but you forget about it, ten years can change a lot of things. Now you don't think our family can do this. But ten years from now, you'll realize that you're thinking about it now. And, perhaps, the above would be happy to see us spend our money and food. ”

Jia Jiu had a flash of inspiration and said, "Father, what do you mean ......?"

Jia Yu said: "Today, our family has an annual income of more than 100,000 taels of silver, and your sister Lin's family's annual income is also handed over here. If we are like Scrooge, guarding this money and food, and winning the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in the north, we will not be able to tolerate it for a long time. ”

Why didn't the imperial court pay enough for the border passes? Isn't it afraid that the military salaries at the border pass will be sufficient, and some people will be fattened and bold, and they will act against the imperial court, thus destroying the foundation of Daqi?

The Central Plains was rarely destroyed by the northern barbarians because of the lack of force, on the contrary, it was often the Central Plains court that destroyed the city walls by itself, which gave those barbarians a chance.

Therefore, the Central Plains is very taboo about certain things.

Now Jia Yu is afraid not that there is no silver at home, nor that the family foundation has been hollowed out, but that he is afraid that there is too much money and food in his hand, which will arouse the suspicion of the above.

It is unlikely that he, an old man who has half entered the loess, may toss his own children.

Jia Jiu looked at Jia Yu stunned: "Father has always known? ”

Jia Yu smiled: "Do you think that your father and I will only play with antiques at home?" ”

Jia Yu is not Jia Zheng, Jia Zheng can steal the glory that belongs to the Guogong in a grand manner. Jia Yu was cautious, and he didn't dare to offend Lei Chi. What Jia Jiu said, Jia Zheng may not understand and will not take it to heart. Mother Jia may not care, and Mrs. Wang may only feel sorry for the silver, but if Jia Yu is here, Jia Yu will look at the problem from the perspective of politics.

This is something that Jia Lian does not have.

Because Jia Yu was raised by the first generation of Rong Guogong and Jia Daishan as heirs. The education he received was completely different from that of Jia Zheng, who was raised by Jia's mother, and it was not something that Jia Lian, who ran with Mrs. Jia Zhengwang in the past, could imagine.

Jia Yu even muttered in his heart more than once. Did the old lady mistake her son and daughter, when her eldest son Jia Lian was in front of Jia's mother. It's just a thing, and I didn't learn anything at all. It's her own daughter, who removes those whimsical ideas. Many of the ideas are very close to the self who has received a serious heir education.

Jia Yu held the tea bowl and was stunned for a while, then said, "Girl, just like you are worried." On those Zhuangzi. Our family has already received too many benefits. Those soldiers at the border pass, who had been hungry for too long before, are now not eating and drinking spicy food, but they are also well fed and clothed, and they can still train with ordnance every day. Although the ordnance is still insufficient, it is much better than in the past. The soldiers at the border pass have gained a good son, and their combat effectiveness has naturally increased greatly, and the people in the north are leading the work on those Zhuangzi. Safety is also guaranteed, and the heart is naturally towards you. This is a well-known thing. Originally. The people in the palace who can still do things through guò will briefly card those Zhuangzi, but you have counted those palace people into it. In order to have a place to retire, those palace people will protect those Zhuangzi as if they were protecting their own eyes. Therefore, in these Zhuangzi, the benefits you get are not in the gold and silver goods, but in the gratitude of the northern soldiers and people, and the gratitude of the palace people to you. It can be said that you have not yet entered the palace, and these two forces are already in your hands. This point is not only clear to the father, but also to the Emperor Taishang and the current long live in their hearts, and even the adults in the court are also very clear. You're still at home, so you don't see anything, but once you enter that door, these two forces change dramatically. ”

What Jia Yu didn't say was that for the sake of these two forces, the Emperor Taishang and the current Emperor would definitely fight to the death, because if either of them got these forces, they would be able to crush the other. The Emperor would never want to lose his power and become an ornament in the palace walls; The current emperor would not want to be suppressed by the Emperor Taishang all the time.

It can be said that now, the Emperor Taishang and the current emperor have begun to fight. It's just that as the center of the storm, they invariably chose to keep Jia Jiu's side quiet.

This state of affairs is undoubtedly not sustainable. Jia Yu could even say without hesitation that once this dangerous calm was broken, the entire circle of power in Daqi would be reshuffled.

Jia Yu didn't know what the future would be, but he knew very well that the palace concubine election next year would definitely not be so smooth as the last one.

"Father!"

Jia Jiu never expected that his father would be so clear, let alone that his father would explain to him so clearly. Rao is Jia Jiu has always been ingenious, but he has not been able to find suitable words.

Jia Yu said in a low voice: "Actually, there are some words that have been kept in my heart for some years for my father. I'm going to talk to you a few more words today. Those two have been fighting for so many years, the Emperor Taishang is already a great figure, and Prince Lao Yizhong is so powerful, hasn't he been uprooted by him? Everyone said that Prince Lao Yizhong was to blame, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that Prince Lao Yizhong would be powerful, or because of the connivance of the emperor. Today's ability to ascend to the position is not only because of today's benevolence and filial piety, but also because of today's honesty and obedience. But even today, who is so honest and obedient, he is about to be driven crazy by the emperor. There are countless palace people standing behind you, and there are soldiers and civilians in the north, just for yourself, and you will find a way today. As for the Emperor, in order not to threaten his position, I am afraid that he will not be willing to see you become the concubine of today. ”

Jia Jiu hesitated for a moment and said, "Father, I'm afraid it's more than that. Now that he has been in the shadow of the Emperor Taishang for so many years, I am afraid that he will not like someone to press on his head, even if his daughter can be very submissive, but as long as there are so many forces behind his daughter, he will not have much pity for his daughter today, let alone sincerely. When I entered the palace, I was afraid that my daughter would be like a beautiful ornament, without love, without trust from her husband, and even without children, so I could only count the days slowly in the deep palace and survive one day at a time. ”

Jia Yu wanted to touch his daughter's head and comfort her daughter, but finally withdrew his hand and said, "That's right." If you enter the palace, whether it is the emperor or today, on the surface, you will be above many concubines, and even if the queen meets you, she will retreat. But in reality, you'll just be roasted on the fire by them. ”

For a while, the room fell silent, and neither of them, Jia Yu or Jia Jiu, spoke.

This is what Jia Yu has been worried about.

Martial arts are strong, which is useful in many cases. But martial arts are not absolute, otherwise, those generals would not have lived so aggrieved. Jia Yu could see that his daughter was definitely not suitable to enter the court.

This is a decision that Jia Yu has thought about again and again.

This is also the biggest difference between Jia Yu and Jia Zheng. If Jia Zheng is replaced, he will definitely sacrifice his daughter, showing his loyalty, and at the same time, he will also seek glory and wealth for himself. But Jia Yu would not do that. In his eyes, if the above trusts you, even if there is no such hostage, it is okay, if the above does not trust you, or is disgusted with you, then it is in vain that you have pressed the entire family.

After a long time, I heard Jia Jiu say: "Father, what if the daughter doesn't marry?" ”

Jia Yu said: "Silly boy, in this world, which girl who never marries in life finally gets a good one?" As a father, I don't mind raising you for a lifetime, but being a father is old after all. Your brother will also marry a daughter-in-law. When he is alive, that's it, if he is gone, you look at the faces of your nephews and nieces and daughters-in-law? ”

Jia Jiu lowered his head.

In fact, deep down in his heart, it doesn't matter if he doesn't marry, and even he feels that his current life is still quite good, and it will be no problem for him to live like this for the rest of his life. But he also knows that in this world, if a girl never marries, even a concubine will cause a lot of discussion from others, not to mention that he is Jia Yu's only daughter.

What's more, if he doesn't marry, the trouble he will bring to the family in the future will definitely not be less than salt and fat.

There is no reason, it's just that Jia Jiu himself thinks so. (To be continued......)
