The Forbidden City, on the tall and magnificent Jinluan Palace.

Shoufu Wang Weiren personally read out the emperor's reward decree:

“

Feng Zheng Liupin Zhaoxin Captain Jia Baoyu is: The first army of the guard Ma Bu Army Si Bu Army is the Marquis of Yu!

Another Jinshi was born.

”

Rongguo Mansion, Mingyan rushed to Rongqing Hall, but no one dared to stop him along the way.

Everyone knows that this kid went in to report the good news.

A morning meeting until the end of the afternoon.

The second prince saw that Jia Baoyu's father and son were surrounded by hundreds of civil and military officials, so he stopped driving and beckoned Jia Baoyu to step forward.

"I'll give you a ride, otherwise, you may have to walk until dark on this part of the way out of the palace."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Jia Baoyu immediately bowed gratefully, then turned around and bowed to Jia Zhengyao, who was still surrounded, and then jumped into the second prince's Luan car with a familiar car.

Ling Zun looked very happy.

The second prince looked at Jia Zheng with a red face in the distance, and joked about Jia Baoyu.

"He wasn't happy more than once."

"Hahaha, I just like Ziheng's cool temperament."

After the joke, Jia Baoyu solemnly bowed to the second prince: "Before I have time to congratulate His Royal Highness, I have to take the position of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Households, and from now on, His Royal Highness's ideal of governing the country and the country will have something to show." ”

"Hahaha, rejoicing. Ziheng knows that the forbidden army is all Yu Hou, and there are not many in the entire forbidden army sequence. With 5,000 male soldiers under his account, how about it, at this moment, does Ziheng have the ambition to go to the battlefield to fight? ”

The second prince said with a smile.

Jia Baoyu shook his head: "Your Highness made fun of it, serving in the forbidden army, I'm afraid I won't be able to meet the kind of thing Your Highness said in my life." Besides, Du Yuhou is not in command of the sequence, even if there is a real war, it will not be my turn to go to the battlefield.

Otherwise, His Majesty would not have let me take on this position. ”

The forbidden army is the first army of Daxuan, with a full strength of 70,000 people. Whether it is the level or the treatment specifications, it is the first among the many branches of the military in Daxuan.

Among them, there are 30,000 people in front of the temple and 40,000 in the Ma Bu Army.

Jia Baoyu served as the Marquis of Yu, the first army of the infantry army, and there was indeed a full 5,000 regulation under his command. If calculated by the number of people, there should be fifteen people in this forbidden army.

However, because the titles of the front division of the palace are different, the second prince said that there are not many Marquis Du Yu in the entire forbidden army.

Ma Bujun Division is under the jurisdiction of Du Yuhou, who is a military attache from the third grade.

In this way, Jia Baoyu can be regarded as being promoted five levels in a row, and he has changed from a loose official to a real position.

In terms of his age and qualifications, he is definitely a heavy reward and an exceptional promotion.

One more point.

According to the Daxuan military system, only military attachés with more than four grades can be called generals.

The imperial court gave him the title of third rank, which is also a kind of honor!

After a while, the second prince suddenly hesitated and said, "Ziheng knows that the forbidden army is very important to me?" If possible, I hope that Ziheng can completely control the First Infantry Army, which is very important to me. ”

Jia Baoyu's heart is in shock, but anyone who knows a little bit about history knows where the importance of the forbidden army is. Especially for the princes who are vying for the throne

He had also heard that some courtiers proposed to let His Royal Highness the Second Prince take charge of the horse army, but unfortunately the emperor rejected it.

I just don't know if arranging myself into the forbidden army is a little compensation from the emperor.

After all, a Duyu Marquis from the third grade, compared to the entire Ma Army, the role is much smaller.

After all, he was still involved in these power struggles.

"Your Highness, rest assured, Weichen understands."

From today on, when Jia Baoyu faces the second prince, he should use the word courtier.

Because between them, it is no longer simply the appreciation between friends.

In the back street of Ningrong, as soon as Jia Baoyu jumped out of the carriage, he saw Leng Zixing coming up.

"Congratulations to the second master Bao for his high position, and since then, the momentum of the dragon has appeared, just waiting to soar into the sky."

"You're very well-informed."

Jia Baoyu smiled.

"It's not that the villain is well-informed, it's really that the news is too shocking. Now that the house is already preparing a celebration banquet for Bao Erye, those of us who are close to it will naturally know. ”

Jia Baoyu smiled and raised his eyes to look at the house in front of him.

"How's it going inside?"

"Back to the second master of Bao, since the villain received the message from the second master of Bao, he immediately found this place.

Here are two courtyards, both are quite large, I saw that this place is close to the two mansions, so I helped Bao Er Ye buy it, just enough to accommodate 500 children. ”

Jia Baoyu nodded, raising his feet and walking inside.

There is indeed a shortage of useful people around him, so it is Leng Zixing who entrusts Leng Zixing to help with the placement of more than 500 children.

"Second Master Bao is here, bring the children out"

There were some guys in the yard who were from Leng Zixing's shop, and he pulled them over to help take care of them temporarily.

"At the end of the day, has anything happened?"

In this group of children, ranging from three years old to twelve or thirteen years old, the establishment of a health hall to adopt them, Jia Baoyu had been the emperor in the court before.

The emperor praised the second prince and Jia Baoyu on the spot, and allocated a thousand taels of silver from the internal treasury to fund the second prince and Jia Baoyu to carry out righteous deeds and win the reputation of the court among the people.

As the owner, the second prince naturally can't do without expression. Before, he promised to take 5,000 taels of silver out, let Jia Baoyuquan be responsible, and help him handle this matter.

Therefore, this is also an imperial error, and there can be no mistakes.

"There is no big thing to do, but there are a few who are too young, maybe the water and soil are uncomfortable, they have a fever, and the villain also invited Lang Zhong to take a look, and there is no big problem."

Jia Baoyu nodded to indicate that he understood.

Leng Zixing introduced: "Regarding the meal, because the kitchen here has not yet been established, I agreed with the Chen Ji steamed bun shop in the west, let them send the steamed buns over in the morning and evening, and the Zhang Ji pickle restaurant, let them send some pickles over, spend a period of time first, and when the kitchen is set up in the future, there is no need to grieve the children." ”

Leng Zixing said, glancing at Jia Baoyu with some concern.

He was afraid that Jia Baoyu was also acting as a son, and if Jia Baoyu felt that he was deliberately mistreating these children, then he would be really thankless.

Jia Baoyu glanced at Leng Zixing and secretly praised this person for really being able to do things.

If he did so, five hundred children could easily solve the problem of food for two or three taels of silver a day.

As for any mistreatment, that is non-existent.

White flour steamed buns with pickles are already high-matched.

He is doing good deeds, not raising ancestors.

Besides, it won't always be that way.

He was only temporarily unable to spare his hands before, and in a few days, someone from Rongguo Mansion would have to take over here.

After that, slowly, kitchens, bathhouses, school houses and other things had to be built one by one.

This is no longer a disaster relief, but a good deed to be done in the long run.

If possible, Jia Baoyu even wants to run this health hall permanently, preferably, to be able to accept all the orphans in the capital.

Now, he has the confidence and strength to do such a big thing.

With a few Leng Zixing's people leading the drive, two or three hundred children were taken to the courtyard.

"It's only half here, and the rest is next door."

Leng Zixing explained.

Jia Baoyu counted all the houses in this house in his heart, and calculated that there were more than ten people living in a room on average, so he said to Leng Zixing: "The place is still too small, you can see if the surrounding people are willing to move away, give more silver, and expand the place again." ”

"Yes."

Jia Baoyu turned around at this time, walked up to the eaves, looked at the two or three hundred children below who were in rags, but their eyes were particularly clear, and said in a loud voice:

"From now on, this is your home, I am your big brother, if you have anything in the future, or someone bullies you, you can come to me, big brother will protect you!"

It's not a fancy statement, it's just a simple way to tell them that they can stay here with peace of mind.

Many of the children present were sensible. has also seen Jia Baoyu, although he may not know Jia Baoyu's identity, but they all know that he is a noble person and a benefactor.

So many of them spontaneously knelt down and kowtowed to Jia Baoyu.

Given by the times, even children know how to thank people for their kindness and need to kneel.

Jia Baoyu didn't say anything like asking them not to kneel, but secretly said in his heart: I will let you kneel, it's worth it.

Before leaving, Jia Baoyu said to Leng Zixing: "In the future, there will be a health hall here, these children are known to the emperor and courtiers, so if something goes wrong, Brother Leng should know what the consequences are."

Therefore, I want to ask Brother Leng to restrain your people well, and not let some dirty people ruin our future and lives. ”

Jia Baoyu said solemnly, Leng Zixing's heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "Second Master Bao, don't worry, the people I choose are loyal and honest people, if Second Master Bao is not at ease, I will stay here these days." ”

"If so, that's fine. Brother Leng rest assured, Brother Leng has helped me a lot, in the future, but if there is a request, I will agree. ”

Leng Zi was overjoyed.
