The fifth year of Long An, the twenty-third day of the lunar month.

Off.

The snow is beginning to clear in winter.

Yangzhou Mansion Yanyuan Yamen, West Road Courtyard.

Hou Le Xuan.

Next to the smoked cage, Jia Qiang wore a thick brocade cloak inlaid with silver rat skin, sat on a chair, and quietly looked at the file in his hand.

The Qi family sent a list of 643 people, including names, addresses, family members, and directors.

Half of the killers were removed, and among the remaining 300 or so people, there were old and young, and even children. There are men and women, monks, Taoists and nuns, and naturally scholars are indispensable, and even scholars with meritorious reputations.

What they are good at is also varied.

But everything that changes does not deviate from its origin, and it is all a means of seeking people that cannot be seen.

If these "talents" want to be cultivated from scratch by themselves, they will not be able to be of great use without ten or twenty years of experience.

Nowadays, talent is readily available, but ......

There is still a lack of a general manager who can integrate these people, otherwise, it will only be a plate of scattered sand.

Gao Long and Shang Zhuo are not in this way, there are more than enough guards, and there are not enough commanders.

The iron head and the pillar are now arranged on Jufeng Island, and the two of them have been escorting the waterway for more than ten years, and they are the best at this, and they will be responsible for the waterway from Jiangnan to the capital in the future.

The two are currently at a life-and-death relationship with Li Fu, known as Zhang Shun, who is known as Baitiao Zhang Shun in the waves, and constantly buy ships to find sailors, so that they can transport a steady stream of southern goods and manpower to the capital in the future.

For example, the families of these talents recorded in the dossier.

But apart from these people, there is really no one in Jia Qiang's belt......

No, it's not like he's unavailable.

Jia Qiang suddenly thought of someone, Li Jing!!

This young gang leader of the Jinsha Gang, in the years when Li Fu was seriously ill, took on a lot of pressure alone, sharpened for a few years, and was already able to take on a big responsibility.

Moreover, she is the person in his room, enough to be trusted!

However, she is alone, and it is obviously difficult to suppress so many wicked people from three religions and nine ranks.

Having a family is a layer of insurance.

Beating them is the second insurance.

But these two alone may not make those people come to their hearts.

Jia Qiang believes that he still needs an old old man with enough qualifications to convince those people in order to really use them well.

Thinking of this, he suddenly "tsk", his eyes lit up suddenly, and then he squinted with some regret.

Stupid!

She rejected Aunt Sun too quickly before, isn't this Thousand-Armed Guanyin exactly the old Jianghu he needs?

With an invincible secret weapon, Aunt Sun belongs to the level of top masters in the rivers and lakes.

This is secondary, the key is what she has been doing in the past twenty or thirty years, even the colleagues in the rivers and lakes and green forests, they are all sincere and convinced, and every time they donate silver to Aunt Sun's green building, it is more or less a heart.

Although most of the green forests and rivers only use the word "morality" as a fig leaf, just like the officials in the court, they all take the word "loyalty and filial piety" as the supreme faith, which is usually like a fart.

But if someone really did it, and it was twenty or thirty years to do it, everyone still respected such a person after all.

Therefore, having Aunt Sun as the leader will definitely convince them.

Besides, except for Aunt Sun, others come to do this, and Jia Qiang may not be able to rest assured.

Aunt Sun has no children and no daughters, and she has spent her whole life in the green building called Fuguilou, and has adopted hundreds of abandoned babies and ugly girls.

Now Jia Qiang is here to help Fuguilou and find serious jobs for the people in the building, which is enough for them to make a living on their own.

Aunt Sun was busy taking care of Li Fu, obviously, she spent the rest of her life with Li Fu.

With such a background, he can trust and control it.

But if that's the case......

What should I do on Jufeng Island?

The Qi family still didn't understand what Jufeng Island meant, and Lin Ruhai didn't understand it either, but Jia Qiang himself understood.

Not to mention that the hot pot base and saltpeter for making ice will be purified on the island, and only the dyes for weaving and dyeing are arranged here, which is enough to make this small island with a radius of 300 acres worth hundreds of millions.

Without a strong enough guardian force, Jia Qiang was not at ease at all.

On the official side, he is not worried, with Lin Ruhai, Han Banshan, and even the Xue family's imperial merchant brand, it is impossible for the Yangzhou Mansion to attack Jufeng Island.

I am afraid of those who do not follow the usual path, so the means of defense on the island must reach an extremely high level.

Aunt Sun really can't leave......

On the one hand, there is the power of action, on the other hand, it is the lifeblood of the source of wealth, which is more important than Jia Qiang herself, but in general, without silver, everything is over, after all, it is more important to be the land of wealth.

"Alas......"

Thinking of this, Jia Qiang sighed lightly, frowned, and looked at the Hunan bamboo forest near the pond not far away, stunned.

I don't know what happened to Xiaojing.

Get rid of the root of the bane as soon as possible, on the Ning Mansion's side, when Jia Rong is in charge, with his friendship with Jia Rong, maybe he can borrow some strength......

However, it is not easy to say that the predecessor had a deep friendship with Jia Rong because under Jia Zhen's obscenity, Jia Rong had to join him.

But when the boulder above her head is gone, what will happen to Jia Rong is really not certain.

You know, the predecessor and the Qin family......

Of course, there is no adultery, but the predecessor is handsome, and he is used to acting on women, and there are still unilateral lovers between his eyebrows.

Of course, the Qin clan didn't have any response, except for shyness, there was no other reaction.

But this non-rejection already means a lot in the current world.

If it weren't for this, there would be no rumors of "raising a little uncle" in the Ning Mansion......

Jia Rong, naturally, it is impossible not to know.

Jia Qiang doesn't believe it, Jia Rong will have no guilt in her heart......

However, no matter what, another person in charge of the East Mansion is always a hundred times stronger than Jia Zhen's brute.

I just don't know if I saved the Qin family from Jia Zhen's shameless hands, it's too late......

Shaking her head, Jia Qiang smiled.

He seems to be a little wishful thinking, and people may not be willing to let him save him.

Love the sky and the sea are deep, and the love will be adulterous when they meet.

These two sentences of judgment are written for the rest of your life.

She lived for love, fornicated for love, and finally died for fornication.

Perhaps in Qin's opinion, it is unknown that she died as she deserved, so why should she be saved?

As for the memory, the charm and affection between Qin's gestures and smiles contain an infinitely gentle peerless style......

It did not belong to a noble man like him, a pure man, a man detached from low tastes!

"Phew! Not ashamed, how can you smile like this? ”

Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter in her ears, which made Jia Qiang come back from self-criticism, and in front of the meeting, there was a girl standing in a red begonia suit, with a white jade twisted bead in her temples, standing not far away and looking at him, her starry eyes like morning dew were full of teasing.

Jia Qiang didn't get up, closed the file in her hand and put it aside, stretched her waist and smiled: "Didn't you say that the lady of the Qi family is here again?" How can Aunt Lin have time to come? ”

Daiyu sneered when she heard this, and said, "Mrs. Qi is here, and she still brings the three girls of her family. But this time, the lady didn't ask you anything, but the three girls in her family always asked you. The old lady of the Qi family seems to have changed her mind again, and she doesn't want to send this third lady of the Qi family into the palace to suffer! Brother Qiang, I think she's afraid she's in love with you, don't be too proud! ”

Jia Qiang snorted, raised her eyebrows and said, "I am proud of me in the Qi family?" There are more people in the photo, and you still use me to be proud? One by one, they think of beautiful things! ”

"Poof!"

Daiyu couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and then said angrily: "More and more shameless, cheeky!" ”

Seeing that Jia Qiang just smiled and didn't respond, Daiyu stepped forward angrily, glared at the bad guy who felt too good about herself, and said, "Brother Qiang, let me ask you, Xiaojing hasn't seen her for almost a month, where has she gone?" ”

Jia Qiangqi said: "You haven't seen her for almost a month?" No, she came back a few days ago, but she went out in a hurry after showering and changing, but she forgot to say hello to you. This one...... It's not hers, I'll teach her to be more careful. ”

"Be careful!"

Daiyu said angrily: "Xiaojing is still a girl no matter what, you just let her work outside all day long?" She's your roommate, why don't you feel sorry for her at all? ”

Hearing this, Jia Qiang lowered her eyes and laughed softly: "Aunt Lin, different people have different yearnings and pursuits. For example, his aunt and grandfather, who have a sense of community and hope that the world will be safe, peaceful and prosperous, and his old man is willing to fight for this goal, no matter how hard and tired he is. For example, if I want to live a leisurely life, I want the world to be beautiful, and I want the evil in the world to stay away from my relatives, and I am willing to work hard for this goal. Xiaojing, she was born and grew up in the rivers and lakes. If she is really allowed to serve me as a female celebrity every day, like Miss Boudoir, she may not be happy. She once told me that she hoped that her life would be able to leap between rivers, lakes and seas, make waves and waves, and be free...... Then I will fulfill her. Many people, including her father, advised me to restrain her, but I felt that nothing was more important than the happiness of the people around me. ”

When Daiyu heard this, she was stunned for a while, and then muttered: "But, but Xiaojing is a girl's family in the end, how can she always show her face......"

Jia Qiang smiled, looked at the spotless sky outside Hou Le Xuan, and said, "It's just being laughed at, but who cares?" ”

How could Daiyu believe this, she got closer, looked into Jia Qiang's eyes, and asked, "You really don't care?" ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "What is being discussed behind the scenes, as long as you don't be heard by me, let them chew the root of their tongues." Who doesn't say people behind their backs, and who doesn't talk about people behind their backs? But whoever dares to make fun of him in person, I will knock out one of his teeth, so that he will leak when he speaks in the future. ”

"Phew! I knew you didn't have a good word! ”

Daiyu smiled and sat down on the chair on the side, but gently persuaded: "Don't be too arrogant, be careful and don't tolerate the world, see how you live then!" ”

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "The so-called intolerance to the world is actually just intolerable to officialdom." Ordinary people, who cares about these? Which woman in the common people's family doesn't show up to cook and do laundry? As for not being allowed in officialdom...... I had to go in. No official and no lord, relaxed, I don't know how good it is to live!

Look at Baoqin's girl, she is younger than us, but she has been to more places than us combined. If you become an official, where can you run around? With a knighthood on his body, he must also be on time at the beginning of every month, otherwise it will be a sin. Therefore, most of the powerful people are detained in Beijing, and they don't dare to run around anywhere, and they have a noble name, but in fact they are just poor people who have been imprisoned.

Wait, three or five years later, after my aunt and grandfather have overcome the difficulties and show their ambitions, I will take Xiangling and Xiaojing to walk around.

Go and see the spring and summer winds, autumn leaves and winter snow. Go and meet the South Water and North Mountain, the East Foot and the West Ridge.

Aunt Lin, do you want to go along? ”

When Daiyu heard this, her heart trembled, she lowered her eyes, and said softly: "You just go by yourself, what ......does it matter if I go or not?"

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Of course it matters, these four seasons of spring and autumn, mountains and rivers, how can you look good with Aunt Lin's smile?" If you don't go, the mountains and rivers will lose their lustre. ”
