Chapter 268: Layout

Early the next morning, Jia Ke and Qin Keqing washed up and had breakfast, and Jia Ke asked people to take the account books of the Wuyang Hou Mansion.

Jia Ke took out a bunch of keys from the cabinet again, and then handed them to Qin Keqing along with the account book, Qin Keqing did not shirk, and directly took the account book and key, which can be regarded as the transfer of the management of the Wuyang Marquis Mansion.

Jia Ke was finally able to get out of these trivial matters, these days Jia Ke not only had to deal with the major affairs of the DPRK and China, but also personally managed his various industries, which made him very annoying.

Qin Keqing was also very satisfied with Jia Ke's handing over the housekeeper's power so happily, she originally thought that she would mention it to Jia Ke in two days, she was not greedy for power, but wanted to get the dignity and power that a hostess should have. This time, Jia Ke met her request.

Qin Keqing then put on the posture of the hostess and summoned all the housekeepers and mothers-in-law in the mansion to Wuwei Hall.

In Wuwei Hall, Qin Keqing sat in the middle, next to his personal maid Ruizhu, and under the hall stood the housekeeper and housekeeper led by Lin Zhixiao in the past.

Lin Zhixiao was because Jia Ke's housekeeper Qian Mao did not come over in Xuanfu Town, so he temporarily managed the Wuyang Hou Mansion together. And he is Jia Ke's earliest housekeeper, and he can be regarded as Jia Ke's confidant, so Jia Ke does not hide many things from him.

"I asked everyone to come today for nothing else, just to tell you, from now on, this inner mansion of the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion has been handed over to me." Qin Keqing looked down when he said this.

Lin Zhixiao, as the chief housekeeper, was the first to stand up, knelt down on the ground for Qin Keqing and said, "Grandma, if there is anything in the future, even if you tell it, the little ones will definitely obey the order." ”

Lin Zhixiao's housekeeper and housekeeper also knelt down and showed their loyalty to Qin Keqing. Everyone has long realized that there is such a day, so there is no resistance.

Qin Keqing saw that they all expressed their submission, so he didn't think much of it, and said with a smile: "In this case, everyone must abide by their own positions in the future, and they must not make mistakes." Everyone also knows the temper of our Hou Ye, and if something goes wrong when the time comes, I won't be able to protect you. ”

Lin Zhixiao and the housekeepers and mother-in-law, after listening to Qin Keqing's words, their hearts also began to be awe-inspiring, during this period of time, they killed people in the vegetable market every day in the capital, and I heard that these people were personally approved by their own Hou Ye, like this person who kills people without blinking, once they start a fire, I am afraid that no one can really save them.

Qin Keqing saw that these people under him had been suppressed, so he no longer embarrassed them, and directly let them return to their original positions.

After everyone left, Qin Keqing called Lin Zhixiao to him, "How much silver is stored in the treasury of our house, you can give me a thorough understanding." ”

Lin Zhixiao already knew that Jia Ke would hand over everything in the mansion to Qin Qin Keqing to be responsible, so a few days ago, he had already recounted all the accounts and waited for Qin Keqing to come to check the accounts.

Lin Zhixiao heard Qin Keqing ask about the silver deposit in the mansion, hurried over, and said in a low voice: "Grandma, there are nearly 1.5 million taels of silver in our mansion now. ”

Qin Keqing was very surprised when she heard this number, she had already been mentally prepared, knowing that Jia Ke had some money, but she didn't expect that there would be so much at all. Jia Ke has been in the official position from a thousand households to the present, that is, in a few years, but he didn't expect to accumulate so much silver. Coupled with the current annual progress of three or four hundred thousand taels, as well as two or three hundred thousand taels of ice and carbon respect. Even if it is fine clothes and jade food, there is nothing impossible.

Only now did Qin Keqing put her mind at ease, although she got the general situation of the Marquis of Wuyang Mansion from Jia Ke last night, she was still a little uneasy in her heart, and now she can enjoy the life of brocade clothes and jade food with peace of mind.

"Aunt Zhou of Rongguo Mansion next to her, what is the situation now? Did our uncle ever send monthly money or anything before? Qin Keqing asked Qian Mao next to him.

"If you go back to your grandmother, the uncle has never given another monthly money to the other side, but Aunt Zhou is in charge of one of the uncle's villages, and there are thousands of taels of income every year."

"That's the uncle's response to my aunt, now that I'm in charge of the Wuyang Hou Mansion, I can't help but say, from this month onwards, Aunt Zhou will send another monthly money to Aunt Zhou, and Aunt Zhou will count it according to sixteen taels, and the other little maids' monthly money will be given another one according to their current share." Qin Keqing said with a deep groan.

Although Aunt Zhou is Jia Ke's biological mother, Mrs. Wang's monthly money is only twenty taels, and Aunt Zhou, plus the two taels of money that Rongguo Mansion originally gave Aunt Zhou, this is already eighteen taels, and it can't exceed Mrs. Wang no matter what.

In the next few days, Jia Ke did not rest because of the marriage leave, he went to the infantry commander yamen every day, and at the same time sent his henchman Ma Zuo to the infantry commander yamen as his deputy, and presided over all the official affairs of the infantry commander yamen in his place.

Then he went to the Xishan camp and the newly formed Ruijian camp, and sent his henchmen Luo Cen and Xiao Kun to command the two battalions respectively. He also told them to retrain the soldiers of the infantry commander Yamen and the Xishan battalion in accordance with the method of military training in Xuanfu Town. So that Jia Ke can fully master these two soldiers and horses.

As for the Praetorian Guard, Jia Ke planned to shave off all the officers in it, leaving only the soldiers and then leading it himself, and as for the backbone of it, it was selected from among the ordinary soldiers.

Jia Ke now understands a truth, only by mastering military power can he ensure his net worth, life, glory and wealth. Don't look at it now, it seems that Wenchen has suppressed the generals, that is, the generals don't know how to resist, as long as the generals dare to resist a little, those people and ministers are all ghosts under the sword.

Jia Ke has been busy everywhere these days, and Qin Keqing has not been idle, she has looked up and down the Wuyang Hou Mansion in the past few days, especially the treasury and the silver warehouse, these two places are the top priority. She ordered someone to open the treasury and count it herself to see if it was the same as the number on the account.

When Qin Keqing first entered the silver vault, he was shocked by the mountains of gold and silver. It's one thing to look at the ledger, it's another thing to not know that you saw so much gold and silver on the spot.

And Ruizhu next to her, looking at so many silver taels, her legs were weak and she couldn't stand at all. If it weren't for the jewel next to her, who was still young and didn't know much about Yinliang, desperately holding her, her new clothes would have been ruined.

Qin Keqing and the steward made a final count, and there were more than 150,000 taels of silver in the silver treasury, and just counting this was silver, which made her so tired that she didn't want to move for several days.

But what surprised her was still behind, and when he opened the other warehouses, he was dizzying with all kinds of treasures inside, among which there were countless treasures that were rare in the Central Plains. These were all plundered by Jake from the royal tent of Arslen Khan, and each one was priceless.

In other warehouses, she also found all kinds of precious medicinal materials, ginseng for hundreds of years is only the lowest grade in it, and there are countless medicinal materials that are more than a thousand years old.

If Qin Keqing was still mentally prepared for the rare treasures in front of him, then for these medicinal materials, Qin Keqing was completely shocked to describe them. Speaking of which, in the Wuyang Marquis Mansion, the most precious thing now is these medicinal materials. I'm afraid that if everything else is added up, it will not be as valuable as this storehouse medicinal herb.

By now, Qin Keqing can be regarded as knowing the wealth of the Marquis of Wuyang. Qin Keqing once asked Jia Ke, how did he get so many treasures? And Jia Ke only used three years of Qing Governor's Mansion and 100,000 snowflakes of silver to prevaricate her.

When Jia Ke's marriage leave was about to end, Feng Mo received the emperor's holy decree to serve as the envoy of Liaodong Jiedu, and on the way to Liaodong, he passed through the capital and came to meet Jia Ke, and at the same time brought him a letter from Huang Baifeng, the envoy of Xuanfu Town.

At the same time, he brought him the news of his family in Xuanfu Town, and they were on the road together. It's just that Feng Mo is going to serve in the army, so he came to the capital first in a hurry.

And Jia Ke's three concubines, the housekeeper Qian Mao, and his intelligence leader Wei Kun, under the leadership of a few days to reach the capital division.

Jia Ke and Feng Mo stayed in the study all day, and the two didn't know what they were talking about. It's just that it seems that when Feng Mo left the Wuyang Marquis Mansion, he was more respectful to Jia Ke.

After Jia Ke sent Feng Mo away, he obviously felt that he was more relaxed. Before he knew it, he had already controlled nearly four or five hundred thousand horses, not counting the Manchu Eight Banners that he personally formed.

At this time, Jia Ke felt that he had nothing to fear, and now as long as he gave an order, I am afraid that the sky and the earth would change color. It's just that in the capital, there are still some people who are not controlled by him. Although it is said that Wang Ziteng and the Jia family are prosperous together, and both are lost, after all, Wang Ziteng is not his person, and how he chooses at the critical moment is also a difficult problem.

According to the Dream of Red Mansions, it should be soon, the emperor will abdicate as the emperor, and the new emperor may not look down on him, the old minister of the emperor, and he is not ready to sit still, when the emperor dies, it will be the time for his new emperor to have a showdown, because the emperor has a natural advantage, so he has to prepare in advance.

Jia Ke has not relaxed for a while over the years, and since he arrived in the army, he has purposefully gathered people's hearts and controlled the army. Now that he has finally achieved something, as long as Feng Mo can gain a firm foothold in Liaodong, the most elite and largest number of troops in this dynasty will be under his control, plus the army of Xuanfu Town and Jingzhong, who else in the world can help him.

Before the new emperor was determined, he began to arrange, and no matter who was the emperor at that time, he would be able to deal with it calmly. If the new emperor can endure and endure until he Jia Ke dies, it will be his ability. Otherwise, he wouldn't mind being Cao Mang's generation.

In the next few years, all he had to do was quietly squeeze out the prince and take over his army. That's when it's all right.

He didn't want to rebel, but he didn't want to put his fate in the mercy of the emperor, because he knew that none of the emperors were merciful. For the sake of their throne, they can even spare their own sons. What's more, in the emperor's eyes, he Jia Ke is a dog he raised.

After Jia Ke took his marriage leave, he returned to the military aircraft. At this time, there were already three more military aircraft ministers in the Military Aircraft Department. They are, Lei Ying, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Yu Shi Tianye, the left governor, Liu Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, plus Jia Ke and Pan Yong, and the Military Aircraft Department now has a total of five military ministers.

These people, except for Jia Ke, are all Wenchen, which can be seen that the current power of the Chinese courtiers is strong. Jia Ke can serve as the foreman of the Minister of Military Aircraft, or the emperor is dictatorial, and the three newly elected people. They are all people who abandoned the emperor some time ago, if it weren't for Jia Ke who still served as the Minister of Military Aircraft and controlled more than half of the troops in Beijing. I'm afraid that the emperor now even sleeps with his eyes open.

Jia Ke also made arrangements for himself in advance, feeling more and more glad that he, Jia Ke, already had the capital to compete with Wenchen at this time.

As the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department, he is naturally the head of the Military Aircraft Department, and the three new military aircraft ministers also had to salute him, and Jia Ke also accepted the salute of these three who could be his grandfather to the old man as a matter of course.
