Coming out of Zhao Kang's private residence, Jia Cong went to the Shanhai Bookstore in the Xixiao Market outside Xuanwu Gate, Luo Gaocai and Zheng Yeliao have now become wealthy businessmen, with Jia Cong in the middle, and Shen Sanguan and Gui Buyan also have contact with them. In the bookstore, he mainly discussed with the alliance the affairs of the Jiangsu Qing Officials Division of the Ministry of Households, where he also took care of the two Huai salt farms.

In addition, Shen Dechen, the prisoner of Yanjing Guozijian, often comes to ask for advice, as if he is a protégé of Jia Cong.

This year is more special, the old emperor died, the new emperor ascended the throne, and it is the year of his own Mao, Zi, Wu, Mao, and You are the year of the triennial township test, Chen, Xu, Chou, and not the year of the palace test, and the special place is that the new emperor will ascend the throne will be added to the throne.

That is to say, there will also be the hall examination this year, after this year, the regulations of the imperial examination will remain the same, and the students of the Guozi Prison can directly participate in the township examination, and it is no wonder that Shen Dechen is running so diligently.

At that time, it was already the end of early spring, the wind and sand in the north were strong, the spring breeze was blowing, and if you didn't wear a hat to cover your eyes, you would be blinded, and the natural environment of the capital was originally heavily polluted. But from the south to the north, from the Hui merchants and Zhejiang merchants to the Shanxi giant merchants, the number of people is quite a lot, there are occasional camel bells, Xuanwu Gate, Chongwen Gate outside the hall, it is even more common.

Because the power of the cabinet has almost been controlled by Zhang Fenyi and Yu Jackie Chan, in the next two days, Jia Cong did not interfere in everything at all, and never exercised the "right to vote".

The first assistant Yang Qinghe was repeatedly asked to ask for a job, Ling Jieyuan did not allow it, but Yang Qinghe has not been sick, and when the burial of the imperial tomb is completed, this year's spring rain has not fallen, Qintian supervised the "big bad luck", and the cabinet also asked the emperor to do two things, the first is to open the feast, and the second is to sacrifice to the altar of heaven.

Helplessly, as soon as these two "court events" came out, Yang Qinghe and Jia Cong had to go into battle, of course, before that, the two oldest and youngest auxiliary ministers were still staying at home to enjoy themselves.

The Grand View Garden, which is now in full bloom and has undoubtedly become a paradise for women and girls. At the beginning, Jia Yuanchun only allowed Jia Baoyu and one male dependent to enter, and Jia Cong, who had seen Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Jinling gardens, may not be interested in the Grand View Garden, but when he entered, who dared to say no?

In the western autumn season, in the open courtyard, Jia's mother and other women were drinking a feast, Jia Cong drank two cups, and then came out of the stream to relax, on the lake leading to the lotus root Champs in front, rows of bamboo rafts floated directionlessly, and Xiangling followed him out.

After a while, Xue Baochai and the raider also dispersed, the raider coiled her hair, she was older, now in her twenties, Rong Chang's face has become more mature, thinner than before, Xiangling said: "Aunt Hua gave birth to a brother, and she will be able to catch Zhou today next year." ”

Jia Cong was speechless, and looked at Xue Baochai's gaze, estimating that Lin Daiyu would also have to die of resentment, Jia Cong nodded and said, "Okay, good." ”

"My brother has come out, and he has lost a lot of weight after suffering the crime of being in the prison of the Criminal Department for so long." Xue Baochai instructed the girls to bring fishing rods and bait, so a group of people began fishing.

For Xue Pan, Jia Cong really doesn't like it, but in any case, Xue Pan can come out, it is completely dragging Jia Cong's officialdom relationship, the Criminal Department has his alliance, and Qiu Bin, the commander of Jinyiwei, is not as reused as he was during the Yongle period, and it is estimated that he will have to be replaced soon, and he may not dare to go against him.

Because of this, Xue Baochai couldn't say anything about Jia Cong's concubines outside.

The economic and political power is in Jia Cong's hands.

"Are you going to ask him to go into business?" Jia Cong said.

Xue Baochai knew that his brother was not that material, but he was still maintaining: "If you can keep it, it is not unreasonable to say that you are rich for no more than three generations." Let's just say that the pawn shop opened by our family can't be started without 10,000 taels of silver, and the things pawned by others need to be kept, moisture-proof, and mildew-proof, and there are a lot of things involved. ”

"But no, what kind of livelihood is simple?" The attacker was very in awe of the couple of Jia Cong and Xue Baochai, with respect on their faces, but in their hearts they felt glorious and generous about today's life and status.

Qingwen on the other side said: "There is one thing that is simple, the second wife's companion receives land, I heard that the poll tax has been abolished, and if it is levied on an acre, it is divided into upper, middle and lower grades, and the land is good land, and if you report it to be inferior, you can save a lot of money." Because when the land was cleared again, those lands were said to have been bought, but they were just voted by others, put in our family's name, and reported inferior, and everyone benefited. ”

Li Kun interjected: "This is the method, if you want to save something, you can really think of it." ”

Xiangling said: "It's just that someone gave face to Master Cong, after the clearing, there is not much land left according to the title." ”

Everyone thinks this is normal, the clan is like this, isn't it normal for Jia Cong to help the second room?

To put it bluntly, this is a "legal and reasonable" means of exploiting loopholes, China's "loopholes and rules" knowledge, but "broad and profound", from ancient times to the present, it is not uncommon, Jia Cong doesn't want to say anything about this, the water is clear, there is no fish, sometimes he closes his eyes.

Just like the people under him, who will do it if they don't give some benefits?

"Who will be the main examiner in Beifu this year? I don't know what style it is. Li Kun asked Jia Cong.

Jia Cong looked at this beautiful woman, didn't answer, begged me...... If you don't ask me, you won't tell you.

Li Kun didn't ask anymore, the roots of his ears were a little red, for fear of being discovered, so he hurriedly turned to the other side.

Sanchun has a lot of words missing, they are all big girls now, according to this era. Know more, and be more reserved.

"Isn't there a Dongyue temple outside Chaoyang Gate? It is said that the concubine of Emperor Dongyue is enshrined, the incense is vigorous, and she specializes in asking for children. Jia Cong said inadvertently.

Dongyue Temple outside Chaoyang Gate, because the Ming Dynasty had an emperor obsessed with ghosts, gods, Buddhism and the like, it was expanded at that time, just like a palace, and the people could also enter and exit, and the incense was continuous.

The ancients have always been in awe of ghosts and gods, and they have been integrated into daily life, such as "name charms", that is, when the child is born, he sends his name under a certain temple to pray for blessings, so that the child has been a disciple of the god in that temple since he was a child, similar to the role of a stand-in.

Jia Baoyu was also sent to the temple since he was a child, so Ma Daopo was his godmother, and Wang Xifeng also "sent" Jia Qiao in the Tieji Temple in the Red Mansion, all of which are the same reason. The money given to the "ghosts" by large families is quite a lot. Speaking of which, who is the most wronged person between the ghosts and gods and them?

The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, Baochai said that he was going, Li Kun glanced at Jia Cong, what did he mean? Could it be......

……

The endless Taihang Mountains, on a mountain peak separated from the dungeon forts of Jingjing Pass and Fallen Horse Pass, a dungeon fort was also established here, and there are grass huts around the dungeon, and the defense line around the Jingshi has this kind of dungeon, but this mountain peak is not official.

"Sect Master, the root of our vein is also the White Lotus, Wenxiang Ancestor was also a disciple of Xu Hongru at the beginning, if there is an incident, the members of the Hongyang Sect are all over the canal, from Zhili Tongzhou to Hangzhou, all of them are manpower."

"Shandong, Zhili, Henan, Jiangsu, and even Yunnan and Sichuan, the people of Bailian have never died...... Nowadays, it is a drought, and there are many people fleeing the famine, and the seat of King Yu has not yet been secured...... Once King Qin gets into trouble, we can also share the pie......"

The Great Protector Leng Xingyu sat in the grass hut and analyzed: "Don't look at the Shun Dynasty and stabilize the nine sides, the Tibetan lamas and the Mongolian Oirat Alliance often have contact, and Mongolia is in trouble because of the Red Sect and the Yellow Sect, and the Jurchen is unwilling...... Listen to the brothers of the canal, there is chaos in the southeast......"

On the main seat is a bewitching woman with sharp eyes, the roots of the Wenxiang Sect in Hebei are very deep, belonging to the White Lotus Sect branch, Hongyang Sect, Luo Sect is also, Tang Sai'er was a woman, with the White Lotus Sect to start an incident, but also to save her life, drifted away, and then Maitreya taught Li Fuda to make friends with high-ranking officials in the imperial court, the case has been dragged on for several dynasties to solve, Shandong Xu Hongru and then to the White Lotus Sect, the sect reached a terrifying two million.

This is a terrifying hidden force, and the princes of the so-called "Warring States Period" of the Wa Kingdom are not as many as the White Lotus Sect.

"Look at the news from the King of Qin, the three sides of Shaanxi, Yulin, Yansui, Gansu, and Guyuan, have not been quiet, as far as I know, Dashun's military power has been divided layer by layer, and the transfer of troops is not so easy...... It is necessary to have the military talismans of the Shang Bao Division, the Military Department, and the Jingying Governor's Mansion, so whether it is a eunuch or a powerful minister, they cannot transfer troops privately......"

The head of the Wenxiang Sect looked at the map: "When Emperor Zhengde went out on patrol and wanted to transfer troops, he was rejected by Wang Shouren, saying that he wanted to be verified by the Ministry of War and the cabinet, lest he be cheating, the emperor is still like this, let alone the prince?" ”

"It's them damned!" Leng Xingyu smiled and said: "Since ancient times, the prince went out of Beijing to take charge of the army, it will be a big disaster, and his subordinates think that King Qin may not be able to transfer it back, how can he secretly have no power?" Some people are still afraid that King Yu will rectify them. ”
