Hearing Emperor Long'an's question, even Dai Quan's eyelids jumped, and he privately raised people, but he still had people who couldn't see the light, saying that he harbored evil intentions, and there was no problem.

Lin Ruhai knelt down with shame on his face and pleaded: "The minister knew about this matter, and Jia Qiang was ...... when he was in Yangzhou."

Emperor Long An didn't wait for him to finish, so he asked Dai Quan to help Lin Ruhai up first, and said, "In your secret fold, you told me that I remember. The Qi family gave him all the people surnamed Bai, Wu, Shen, and Thursday, but I just didn't expect that he really accepted all these people and brought them all into Beijing! Where did he get so much money to feed so many people? ”

Emperor Long An was faintly suspicious, could it be that he had done something when he was raiding the salt merchants?

Or, Lin Ruhai was dizzy and took out all the money accumulated by the Lin family to support this bastard?

But if that's the case, what does Lin Ruhai want these people to do?

Lin Ruhai replied truthfully: "Your Majesty, Jia Qiang does have the ability to gather wealth. In Yangzhou, Qi Taizhong, the silver fox of the Qi family, is a cloth cloth, but he can be friends with the emperor for 30 years, and Qi Taizhong is the Tao Zhu of the world. However, with his ability, he became friends with a young man Jia Qiang and started a business together. and sent the eldest grandson to Beijing to be friends with Jia Qiang. The minister guessed that he pinned the future luck of the Qi family on Jia Qiang. ”

Emperor Long An frowned when he heard this: "Qi Taizhong is not a simple person, don't be fooled by him......"

Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "This can be guaranteed, not so." Qi Taizhong's old fox, even if he had some thoughts, took a fancy to the ministers behind Jia Qiang and the emperor behind the ministers. In the end, his eyes still fell on the emperor, he was an understanding person. Jia Qiang is just a young man, and he himself has this self-knowledge. In addition, Qi Taizhong's third son once set up a killing array to kill Jia Qiang. That time, it was really dangerous. Afterwards, Jia Qiang should have received a lot of benefits from the Qi family. What supports him now is perhaps these benefits. However, this matter is indeed taboo, and the Huichen asked Jia Qiang to send those people away. ”

When Emperor Long An heard this, a different color flashed in his smile, and he said: "Let's talk about this matter, now that you are doing a difficult job, it would be good for you to have some hands to help." After a pause, he said: "Aiqing, Han Qing, the governor of Liangjiang, gave me three secret folds in one month, impeached Zhao Dong, the governor of Jiangsu, corrupted the law, sold official positions, formed a party for personal gain, had no bottom line, and ruined the officialdom in Jiangnan!" Aiqing has been in Jiangnan for many years, thinking that this Zhao Dong, what is going on? ”

When Lin Ruhai heard this, he raised a smile on his face, frowned and said, "Zhao Dong...... Back to the emperor, the minister really didn't know much about this person, but in the Jiangnan officialdom, corruption was rampant, and there was indeed such a thing. However, Banshan Gong is a person who has been in officialdom for a long time and is used to seeing wind and rain. Waiting for the idle officials to be impeached in a month, it will not be enough for him to be impeached three times in a month. It can be seen that Zhao Dong must be very excessive. ”

Emperor Long An's face was gloomy, and he said, "Zhao Dong, and that Jiangnan Governor Liu Qi, asked for the Zhen family. Zhen Yingjia, that idiot, actually has a face to speak for them! I don't know what to live or die! ”

When Lin Ruhai heard this, his brows became more and more furrowed, and he sighed softly: "Zhen family...... Somewhat troublesome. ”

Zhao Dong and Liu Qi were originally former ministers of Jingchu.

Which feudal official is not a confidant of the Son of Heaven?

If these two are already a bit tricky, then the Zhen family is even more troublesome.

The Zhen family, to some extent, is the same as the son of the emperor.

As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog.

The late Mrs. Fengsheng of the Zhen family had ten years of care for the Emperor Taishang, and the most difficult time of the Emperor's childhood was the Mrs. Fengsheng of the Zhen family, who protected him with meticulous love.

Thinking of this kindness, the Emperor Taishang made six southern tours, four times lived in the Zhen family, and in front of the princes and hundreds of officials, he pointed to Mrs. Fengsheng and said that he was "the old man of my family".

When Mrs. Fengsheng was there, every year on her birthday, the palace and the king's palace did not know how many gifts were sent.

The Zhen family has been in Jiangnan for many years since their father and ancestors, and they think that the son of heaven is the eyes and ears.

This kind of saint also laid the foundation for the Zhen family to become the first in Jiangnan.

Even if Mrs. Fengsheng has passed away for a long time, as long as the Emperor Taishang is one day, it is really difficult to move the Zhen family......

"However, there is a way for the minister."

Seeing that Emperor Long An's face turned black into the bottom of the pot, Lin Ruhai was aggrieved in his heart, and after he pondered for a while, he smiled.

Emperor Long An hurriedly asked, "What is Aiqing's method?" ”

Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Hunan Governor Zheng Simin, counting, is also the confidant of the Emperor Taishang, but among the old ministers of Jingchu, this person can barely be regarded as a clear stream. Although it is inevitable that he will be in the same dust as the light, as far as the minister knows, he can be regarded as a cadre minister in office, promoting education, repairing water conservancy, and emphasizing agriculture and mulberry. Why didn't the emperor transfer him to Jiangnan as the governor, and then recruit Zhao Dong back to Beijing in the name of promotion and investigate it! ”

"Zheng Simin?"

Emperor Long An thought for a moment and said, "I remember, he and you are also the same year, right?" ”

Lin Ruhai nodded and said, "It is precisely because of this that the minister dares to recommend him." Although Lord Zheng is far from being able to compare with Lord Han Banshangong, he should be able to tolerate Lord Han. With him in the middle as a buffer, the mid-levels public picks up the Jiangnan officialdom, and there will be no excessive turmoil. ”

When Emperor Long An heard this, he slowly bowed his head thoughtfully, and at this moment, he suddenly saw a red-clothed eunuch come in with a special leather box, bowed down and said, "Long live, the urgent secret sent by the governor of Hunan has arrived." ”

Emperor Long An was shocked when he heard this, and after glancing at Lin Ruhai, who was also surprised, he hurriedly asked the chamberlain to take it, and after Dai Quan carefully checked the fire paint mouth, he used the gold key to open the special lock on the leather box, took out the secret fold, and presented it to Emperor Long An.

Emperor Long An opened it, his eyes lit up, and he laughed and said, "Lin Aiqing, what you said is true, what you say is true!" Two lakes, it's finally raining! Hahaha! It's raining! ”

The most terrible drought in the five provinces is the drought in the two lakes.

The two lakes are the granary of the country, and once it rains, there will be no more difficulties in the country!

……

Ning House, Front Hall.

After sending Vivian and Catherine to the second gate of the Rong Mansion and letting Lin Zhixiao's family lead them to the Rongqing Hall, Jia Qiang returned to the front hall of the Ning Mansion and saw Xu Zhen and Xu Zhongluan, who had been separated for more than two months.

Seeing that he still looked cynical, and he was even happy to see him salute, Jia Qiang scolded with a smile: "Didn't you stay in Jiangnan, spread out the ice room, and then help Second Uncle Xue do more things?" Why did you come here now? ”

Xu Zhen got up and shouted, "My eldest marquis! Who would have thought that after you returned to Beijing, you would directly destroy a big battalion, kill a martial marquis, and seal the marquis? The news spread back to the south, and with the momentum of your old man, the ice house business spread out in the six provinces south of the Yangtze River without even stumbling down. Of course, the Qi family also made a big contribution to this. Coupled with your Jia family's old friends, I went shopping under the brand of your old man. Lian Zhen's ......"

Jia Qiang's face changed when she heard this, and she frowned: "Zhen family? You even went to provoke the Zhen family? ”

Xu Zhen hurriedly said: "Master Hou, don't get me wrong, you explained when you left, the Zhen family wants to stay away, how dare I take the initiative to provoke?" It was the Zhen family who came to the door to buy silk and ice, and they had to give the silver and not owe it...... Later, I thought about it, and the Zhen family looked at it, although the prospect did not seem to be very good. The hands and feet are too big, and whenever Jiangnan asks for the door of the Zhen family, there is rarely a time when he returns empty-handed. The name of Zhen Buddha also makes people panic. But even if the Zhen family is going to fall, I think, there is no need to hide far away, right? No matter how you hide, the Zhen family is also the old relatives of the Jia family, so you can't hide from this, right? It's better to borrow a little bit of strength first, and then talk about the benefits. On the day when the Zhen family falls, as long as it is not involved, the total plant will not be connected to the head of the Hou Ye. ”

Jia Qiang thought for a moment and said, "How accurate can you control the degree here?" ”

Xu Zhen saw that Jia Qiang was moved, and said with a smile: "Master Hou can rest assured!" The small one just borrowed the name of the Zhen family, but there was no real contact, and if he didn't get involved with the Zhen family, he would be fine. Speaking of which, it is the clansmen of the Hou family's family in Jinling, as well as the Xue family, who go to fight the autumn breeze three times and twice, and they are very annoying! ”

Jia Qiang was stunned when she heard this, and said, "The Jia family and the Xue family in Jinling are going to fight the autumn wind?" What kind of autumn wind did they fight, even the sect was divided! ”

"yes!"

Xu Zhen smiled bitterly: "But they just came to the door, and they were justified." But I didn't open this opening, I just said that without the warrant of the Hou Ye, I didn't even dare to touch a penny. The shopkeeper of the Xue family who was sent to prison is a precedent. They were all young people, coming with smiling faces and scolding. Hou Ye still has to pay attention to this matter, otherwise the second master of the Xue family is afraid that he will be annoyed. At the moment, it's just the young people of the Jia family who come to the door, and when the older generation comes to borrow money, it will be even more difficult to parry. ”

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "I understand, I'll send someone over when I turn around." ”

Xu Zhen said curiously: "Master Hou, the matter of this clan is the most troublesome, your old man is now the patriarch, although he has a separate sect with Jinling, but everyone has said that he can write two Jia characters in one stroke?" If this matter is not handled well, it will not be good for your reputation. ”

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "The Jia family in the capital still has a house and clan land in Jinling, and when the sect was divided, the clan property was not mentioned, but it was not said that it would be given up. Now that there are two sects, it's better to go back and collect the clan fields that belong to the eight houses in the capital, otherwise how can the ancestral hall here be sacrificed? How can ethnography continue? We set up some industries, supported the clansmen, and were beaten by the Jinling clansmen in the autumn breeze, since this is the case, then the clan fields in Jinling should also be clear. Someone picks them up! ”

When Xu Zhen heard this, he laughed and said, "Master Hou, it's still your old man!" ”

"Old man's ass! When you bastard said this, you can't hide the evil smile in the corner of your eyes, and if you dare to make fun of me, you be careful! ”

After teaching two sentences, Jia Qiang said: "I don't need you for the time being, after entering Beijing, the business and business business are generally on Qi Yun's side." You take the pair of cards on my house, go to his side, help me share the Jia family's share, and then keep in touch with Jiangnan at any time. There is Second Uncle Xue in the south, and you are the best in the capital. ”

Xu Zhen laughed and said: "I understand, I'm going to meet Brother Deang, I heard that he, the fourth son of Jiangnan, is not inferior in style when he enters Beijing." I have to let him take me to Pingkangfang Pan Lou tonight to be happy! ”

"Fuck off! I'll pick you up in two days, and by the way, take two people with you when you leave, and stay by your side as a guard. The capital is not pure. ”
