Ningfu vestibule.

Li Jing and Ding Hao, Ding Chao and his son talked and laughed freely, and did not fall behind.

In terms of experience in the rivers and lakes, although Li Jing has been honed with the Jinsha Gang since she was a child, and even walked thousands of miles to darts, she may be super stronger than Ding, but she is far from being comparable to Ding Hao.

is Li Jing's old son Li Fu, who is not ranked in front of Ding Hao.

As the largest gang in the world, the Cao Gang is the ancestor of the Green Gang and Hongmen hundreds of years later, Ding Hao can sit firmly in the position of the gang leader for more than 20 years, how can he be compared to a little-known Jinsha Gang?

But at this moment, with the person behind her, Li Jing has the courage to sit on an equal footing with the other party.

After all, no matter how powerful the Cao Gang is, how can it compare to the imperial court?

Ding Hao looked at Li Jing and was also emotional, and said: "On the rivers and lakes, there are also gangs headed by women, such as the Red Lady who crisscrosses the green forests of Guangzhou, as well as Zhao Sanniang of the White Lotus Sect in Shandong, and the old lady of Ma in the northwest...... Although the momentum is not small, it is a force that cannot see the light, cannot show its face, and occasionally wanders around the county. Who would have thought that the rivers and lakes and green forests in the god's capital would be controlled by the lady? ”

Li Jing smiled and said, "Old Gang Leader Ding said that he was joking, what virtue and ability can the Jinsha Gang have, and can control the green forest in the capital?" Not to mention, some time ago, the fifth battalion of the Yamen patrol under the command of the Japanese infantry army swept through the Jinsha Gang and arrested an unknown number of people. The dead are dead, the fleeing are scattered, and now that most of the Jinsha Gang has been dispersed, what else can we talk about controlling the rivers and lakes and green forests? ”

Ding Hao smiled and said: "The name of the Jinsha Gang is good, the big waves sweep the sand, and the yellow sand is the first to see gold!" Can Mrs. not be fascinated by vanity, understand the true meaning of the word willingness, and go to the chaff...... This alone is ten times stronger than decay? ”

When Li Jing heard this, she shook her head proudly and said with a smile: "I know that I can't hide it from the eyes of the old gang leader, but where is my ability, it is all the work of the Hou Ye!" ”

Ding Hao sighed: "Therefore, although the children of the wealthy families of the high-ranking families also have some unsuccessful gentlemen, there are also nobles like Ning Hou, who are geniuses and are born rich and noble!" I have to take it, I have to take it! ”

"Old gang leader, there is no need to say more about these words, most of them are not from the heart."

As soon as Ding Hao's words fell, he saw Jia Qiang, who was full of filial piety, entering with a smile and talking to him.

Although Ding Hao was old, he was still quite neat, and he hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Ding Hao, the grass people, I have seen Master Hou." Master Hou, what the little old man said just now is really from the heart! ”

After Jia Qiang sat down in the main seat, she said with a smile: "Whether it's true or not, it's all trivial." Old gang leader, I've been active in Beijing a lot recently, but what have you gained? ”

Ding Hao smiled bitterly when he heard this.

The power of the Cao Gang is actually very strong, not to mention the princes of the clan, even among the princes, and even among the scholars of the Military Aircraft Department, they can cling to the relationship and can speak.

The people who want to take advantage of the Cao Gang, not to mention Jia Qiang and Lin Ruhai's master and apprentice?

However, it is difficult for anyone to be effective.

Even the fourth son of the emperor, Li Shi, the king of Kerong County, who was famous in both the court and the opposition, came forward in person, and he didn't get anything good from Lin Ruhai.

After a big change in the household department, most of them were taken down by Lin Ruhai.

When Lin Ruhai was promoted to a military aircraft university scholar and acted in charge of the household department, there was no more noise from the household department.

And the head of the household department of Caoliang, since he left Ningfu last time, as time passes, the attitude of the household department towards Caoliang is also as strict as day by day.

On the one hand, the inspection of the grain in the warehouse was strictly stuck, and some of the problems that passed with one eye closed in the past were now picked out and severely punished.

On the one hand, it is time to urge the grain into the warehouse three times a day.

In short, the life of the Cao Gang is getting more and more difficult.

In addition, there was news from the rudder along the canal in other provinces, and the attitude of the yamen in various provinces towards the Cao Gang was suddenly tightened, and some places even mobilized garrisons to supervise the defense, almost bluffing the rudder of the Cao Gang!

Ding Hao knew that he couldn't delay it anymore.

If it drags on any longer, the hidden problems within the Cao Gang over the years will be uncontrollable, and once it breaks out, it will be a big problem.

The fact that the Jinsha Gang was swept by the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army, gave Ding Hao a great inspiration.

He decided to settle down in Jingli first, and when he turned around, he began to solve the hidden worries of the Cao Gang.

Otherwise, the big and ineffective Cao Gang can only be reduced to fish and meat to be slaughtered at a critical time.

After making up his mind, Ding Hao said: "Master Hou, the little old man has figured it out, what Master Hou said that day was all good words!" Now that the court is wise and virtuous, it is natural to have thoughts about Cao Yun. Although the Cao Gang is the people of Dayan, they are all loyal, but the court wants to take precautions, and it is understandable. Therefore, according to what Hou Ye said that day, let ......"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Jia Qiang waved his hand and said, "How to cooperate, Ben Hou will send the people below to come forward and discuss with the Cao Gang in detail." Seeing that Ding Hao, Ding Chao's father and son's faces were a little ugly, thinking that Jia Qiang was too ugly, Jia Qiang smiled and said: "The old gang leader doesn't have to think about it, the reason why Ling Lang Ding Chao is responsible for this matter is to tell the Cao Gang that in this matter, neither the court nor Ben Hou has any intention of drinking the blood of the Cao Gang." Not to mention the idea of swallowing the Cao Gang in one gulp. Everything is open, and there is nothing to say to anyone.

In fact, to build a second canal transportation force, you will only put a huge amount of gold and silver into it, and the day when it is rewarded, I am afraid that it will be at least ten years later. Therefore, for at least ten years, Ben Hou will not take a penny from Caoyun. ”

Hearing Jia Qiang's words, Ding Hao, Ding Chao, father and son looked at each other, but they didn't expect that Jia Qiang would have such a plan.

Ding Chao was too young, and couldn't help asking, "Master Hou, what kind of calculation are you making?" It's not for silver, but for it? ”

Ding Hao shouted: "In front of the Hou Ye, how can you talk too much? ”

Even so, the old eyes are also staring at Jia Qiang.

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "If it's just for gold and silver, why should I get involved in these things on the canal?" It's troublesome, and there's little profit. I'm in Jiangnan, and there are all trades in the capital, which one is not a daily profit? Therefore, it is not silver. This is just because my husband is in charge of the household, and his old man has the ambition to help the world and the people, and to stabilize the country! As his disciple, and besides, I am a lord who is retired with the country, and if I can do something for the court, I will try to do some. My Jia family is favored by the emperor, and my Jia Qiang is even more favored by the emperor and the emperor's two generations of holy sons! Isn't it my duty to be able to resolve some of the sorrows for my father?

That's it, I don't like to say these words, and when I say it, others only say that these are brilliant words, false and untrue. It's just that Ding Chao, when you ask, I don't have anything I can't say. As for whether what Ben Hou said is true or false, let time test it. ”

Ding Hao naturally had a series of good words, and he smashed it without money......

He is different from Ding Chao, who was instigated by some infections, Ding Hao is an old Jianghu, an old slippery head who can't be old anymore, no matter what Jia Qiang said is true or not, it has no effect on him.

As long as Jia Qiang really doesn't draw silver from Cao Yun within ten years, then he is not afraid that Jia Qiang will swallow the elephant and engulf the Cao Gang of the Ding family.

After a few more polite sentences, Jia Qiang suddenly said: "Although I don't take silver from Caoyun, Ben Hou is not without what he wants......

These words made the Ding family's father and son look awe-inspiring, and they looked at Jia Qiang in a solemn position.

Jia Qiang smiled: "It doesn't have to be like this, what I ask for is only one or two shipbuilding workshops, especially those who build sea ships." The Cao Gang is known as the largest gang in the world, and there are many strange people in the gang, and they also ask the old gang leader Ding to help. Ben Hou said before that this 10,000-mile sea frontier and endless ocean cannot only be crisscrossed by Western ghosts. Where ghosts can go, my Dayan should also go! Old gang leader, how's that? ”

When Ding Hao heard this, although he knew in his heart that Jia Qiang was planning a lot, and a Cao Gang could not satisfy his appetite, as long as the household department could give the Cao Gang some time and give the Ding family a way to live, then he would have the confidence to go further and further on the road of Cao Yun.

It's not how much power his Ding family has, but there are too many people who are attached to Caoyun to eat.

Therefore, Ding Hao was willing to pay some price and risk for this, he smiled and said: "Hou Ye is ambitious and wants to compete with Western fans. ”

Jia Qiang smiled when she heard this: "That's it, thank you very much!" For these matters, Ben Hou will send reliable people to contact and discuss with the old gang leader and Ding Chao. The old gang leader, Beijing has a big wind, if there is nothing else, it is better to return to the canal early. In case there is a turmoil, and it will affect the Cao Gang again, I will go to fish for people, which will be very troublesome. ”

When the father and son of the Ding family heard this, they were shocked!

The ruthlessness of the court magnates, they have already seen it.

This wave can be carried down, all because the hearts of Lin Ruhai and Jia Qiang's master and apprentice have not yet darkened.

But once the news spreads that the Cao Gang will cooperate with Lin Ruhai and Jia Qiang's master and apprentice, Ding Hao believes that there will be too many people in Beijing who will look at him unpleasantly.

When the time comes, a wave will come......

The Cao Gang may not be able to withstand it!

……

After the Ding family's father and son left, Jia Qiang looked at Li Jing and said softly: "Send the most capable strong hands, lean over and stare at them." ”

Li Jing said: "Staring at Ding Chao? ”

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "Ding Chao's side, he will definitely be the elite of Ding Hao's Cao Gang, and the guards will not leak, you don't have a chance, you will waste manpower in vain." Keep an eye on Ding Hao and pay attention to his movements. ”

After Li Jing nodded in response, she frowned slightly and asked, "What are you worried about?" ”

Jia Qiang sighed and said, "Ding Hao, don't listen to that old man's beautiful words, he will never allow the sea to appear, and he will definitely do everything possible to destroy the sea transportation." Because once the rise of shipping, the transportation is bound to decline. This is a fundamental conflict of interest, and he would rather we sit big on the transportation and share a piece of the pie with him, or even sit on an equal footing, rather than allow the development of maritime transportation. ”

Li Jing became more and more confused and said, "Then the master still asked him to help find a good hand in building sea ships?" ”

Jia Qiang said: "Don't let him stuff the bad people in to watch and control them, and it is inevitable to be careful of his other actions in the future." In addition, he will most likely suppress or even kill some talents who build ships, keep an eye on him, find those people out, rescue them, and help us build ships.

Of course, this is not a matter of three or five months, but a major event in three or five years or even ten or eight years.

Xiaojing, in the next year, we won't have any big moves. We must take advantage of this heavy filial piety, avoid the limelight, and sink down, and take advantage of the wind and waves outside to develop our strength with our hearts. ”

When Li Jing heard this, she nodded and said, "It's chaos outside now...... But master, let's fall silent and hide in the dark to develop and grow, what should I do with Master Lin of Buzheng Fang? ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "The same is true for Mr. over there, the household department must clean up and tidy up, and bury yourself in practical things." Soon, Dou Xian Dou Guangde will return to Beijing, and that is a skyrocketing cannon! With him, the days when my husband and I were besieged for making knives, even if it wasn't over, were saved by more than half. ”

Li Jing said happily: "That's the best, it's just that there is still the case of the Zhen family, and now there is a lot of rumors outside......

The Zhen family has been rich and noble in Jiangnan for too long, and the interwoven connections are not small, and it involves the kindness of Mrs. Fengsheng to the emperor back then.

Jia Qiang sighed and said, "It's time for Jia Jing to die, just to avoid this case by taking advantage of the funeral." We don't have to pay attention to this matter, you just need to watch the people who live in Xifu, and don't let the Zhen family send money and goods into Xifu. Most of the Zhen family will be raided, but they may not be raided. After the court is finished, find a way to help the orphans and widows who survived. ”

This matter can be regarded as closed......

Seeing Jia Qiang's willingness to rest, Li Jing smiled and said, "What are you going to do this year?" ”

Jia Qiang stretched her waist and said with a smile: "There are still a few things, the garden will be repaired in a few months, and most of them will have to save relatives after that." In addition, I plan to plant some land, and I will talk about this later. Also, reading books, writing books, there are a few articles to write...... Ahem. By the way, there is one last big thing, which must be done properly. ”

Li Jingqi said: "There are still big things? What's the matter? ”

Jia Qiang looked at Li Jing's face that was inevitably a little vicissitudes of life without applying powder, and worked hard day and night, and laughed softly: "I promised you at the beginning, and I also promised your father that I would give birth to a son surnamed Li in the future to inherit the Jinsha Gang of the Li family." After all, my father-in-law is older, and if we want him to watch his grandson grow up and hold his great-grandson, we have to work hard as soon as possible. ”

The people he placed next to Li Fu in Jiangnan reported that Li Fu's body had not healed, although he could barely support it, but no one could say how long it could be supported.

Li Fu did not let Li Jing know about this......

Li Jing didn't know the inside story, and was ashamed for a while after hearing the words, but in addition to being shy, she was also endlessly expectant and grateful, and even a little nervous, and said: "But master, I am bearing filial piety right now......"

Jia Qiang said disdainfully: "Bullshit and filial piety!" When they were alive, they all regarded each other as enemies, and when they died, they became filial piety? It's just to look at it with outsiders. It just so happens that you won't have many things to do this year, you don't have to fight in the east and west, as long as you supervise and sort out the inside of the night stalker. In February before my death, I will go to Yangzhou with you, and you and your children will stay in Yangzhou for a year, and then return to Beijing. In this way, it is also a major event in the hearts of you and your father-in-law. ”

When Li Jing heard this, she was confused for a while, and said: "In the future, do you want to leave the child in Yangzhou to raise?" Then I'm ......"

Jia Qiang smiled: "Of course you can bring it back to Beijing, at that time, your father's body and bones are probably almost fine, and he just happened to go back to Beijing together." When the time comes, it will be convenient for you to spend more time with your children......"

When Li Jing heard this, she calmed down, and after exhaling a long breath, she said, "These, let's talk about them when I am born...... Even if I bring it back to Beijing, I'm afraid I won't have much time to accompany him, so my father and aunt Sun will take it. That's it, the master's business is the most important, and there is no delay. ”

In fact, she was also afraid that Jia Qiang would be embarrassed.

She thought to herself that Jia Qiang had made great concessions for her, and sacrificed a lot for her.

It is impossible for anyone to succeed the eldest son.

Jia Qiang can do this, how much trust does she have......

How can she be willful?

Li Jing, who is extremely grateful, naturally doesn't know at the moment that in addition to Li Fu's uneasiness, in this era of great exploration that has arrived, but is far from reaching its peak, Jia Qiang will be ready to embrace what a magnificent world!

He's only seventeen years old, and he still has plenty of time to prepare, to explore, and to break new ground!

For Jia Qiang, she doesn't worry about the dispute between the heirs at all.

He is only afraid that there will be no heirs!

Because of such a wonderful and rich world, how can we occupy it after twenty or thirty years, if we do not have enough children?

It's a pity that Daiyu is only fifteen this year, and her body is still a little thinner, even if she becomes a relative, if she wants to get pregnant, she will have to wait at least three or five years......

But no matter what, Jia Qiang will not hide these things from Daiyu.

Fortunately, except for the Yin family, Daiyu was not wary of the woman next to him.

And Li Jing has protected Daiyu several times, so she can understand ......

PS: The latter paragraph is a distant imagination, and it is still far away from the current stage, but the general policy and route are unchanged. Australia is just a place where the British exile prisoners, and they can turn a continent into their territory, can't I, Jia Liangchen, have more sons and put them in the past? In fact, the time is almost at this time. Slowly, one day, I will drive a big ship and take Daiyu and Zhu Jinchai to patrol the world~
