Yangzhou Mansion, Yanzheng Yamen.

"Not up yet?"

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Jia Cong was discussing with Han Tao, Yao Yuan, Wei Chen and others, counting and checking the income from the house, and after hearing Chi Yu's personal report, he couldn't help frowning.

After Chi Yu answered affirmatively, Jia Cong thought for a while and said, "Young Master Qing is tired, when I rode south from the capital, I was about to fall apart overnight. If it weren't for Guo Yun and them teaching me how to sleep right away, I wouldn't have been able to stick to Haojing...... Okay, when you go back, have someone prepare hot water and light side dishes, and wait for her to use it at any time. ”

After Chi Yu heard the words and retreated, Han Tao showed a look of concern on his face.

He was a disciple who took refuge under Ye Qingmen, and was blessed a lot by her.

If it weren't for this, how could he survive to this day in the desert where the brocade clothes were stored in the capital?

Thinking of this, Jia Cong's eyebrows suddenly raised slightly, and he glanced at Yao Yuan on the side thoughtfully.

Han Tao was blessed by Ye Qing, so he did not die in the hands of Zhen Yuanxungui.

What about Yao Yuan?

Glancing at Yao Yuan, who was looking at his nose and nose, Jia Cong didn't ask anything.

Originally, the existence of the envoys of the north and south was to facilitate the Son of Heaven to bypass the Jinyi Guard and directly command the Jinyi Guard.

If there is any most useful experience left by the glorious history of Confucianism over the past 2,000 years, it is the way of balance, the art of checks and balances.

Anyone who breaks this rule, whether it is a king or a minister, will not end up with a good result.

Past, present, and future.

Therefore, Jia Cong can tolerate their dissenting thoughts......

Because, originally, they were only usable people, not henchmen.

……

"My lord, seven deals to the Domain, this ...... This also ...... Isn't it too much? ”

Han Tao bargained painfully.

The Bai family, the Qin family, and an An family who died by themselves, the three families copied the family, and only cashed nearly 1.5 million taels of silver.

The main reason is that the Qin family is a partner, and most of his family's wealth is concentrated in land.

This 1.5 million taels of cash is not enough to say that it is worth half of Taicang, but it is also worth a year's tax silver in the northwest provinces.

And after Taicang's annual income and expenditure are over, it can leave one million taels of silver, which is a good year.

Salt merchants are rich enough to rival the country, is it ridiculous?

If you add in the land deeds, title deeds, shops and antique furniture, etc., it is an astronomical amount.

Raiding such a rich home is really a test of human nature.

In the past few days, Shen Lang and his subordinate Nanzhen Fusi's military guards have cut off seven or eight of their heads because of the indiscriminate stretching out of their hands, and they still can't stop reaching out to hide.

After spending so much effort to copy the house, he actually wanted to send seventy percent to the Jiangnan Provincial Domain, which made Han Tao extremely reluctant and couldn't figure it out.

Jinyi Wei has just been established, and there is a place to use money everywhere.

As far as he knows, if only 30% is retained, it can only barely meet the basic expenses of the six provinces.

But Jinyi Wei always has to grow, especially the intelligence system, which is the real gold hole......

But I heard Jia Cong say lightly: "Old Han, you are an old brocade, don't you know how those commanders who died badly?" ”

When Han Tao heard this, he was shocked.

Yao Yuan and the others on the side also looked at Jia Cong.

Jia Cong waved his hand to stop Han Tao's movement of wanting to get up and defend, and said: "I don't blame you for anything, I just hope that you, and you, will remember one thing, even if Jinyiwei is the Son of Heaven's pro-army, he must abide by the rules and abide by the laws of the country." Jin Yiwei is a transcendent existence who only needs to be responsible to the Son of Heaven. But Jinyiwei's ultimate mission is to maintain the authority of the Son of Heaven and safeguard the interests of the Son of Heaven. And the greatest interest of the Son of Heaven is the peace of the country and the people, and the stability of the country! Therefore, Jinyiwei is not a destroyer, but a defender.

We must maintain the order of the cadres and eliminate all those who dare to trample on order and undermine it.

The commanders of the Jinyi pro-army who were once killed by the Son of Heaven were not because the Son of Heaven unloaded the mill and killed the donkey, but because those commanders themselves forgot their true mission.

As a defender, he is destroying the laws and rules of the imperial court and destroying the foundation of the Son of Heaven.

This kind of person is difficult not to die. ”

Shen Lang and Zhan Peng only knew half of these words, but in the ears of Han Tao and Yao Yuan, the two old brocade clothes and Wei Chen, who had a strategic belly, they were shocked like thunder.

They looked at Jia Cong with a look of horror in their eyes, they didn't expect him to recognize this step!

After the three of them glanced at each other, they got up and bowed down together, and said convincingly: "My lord is wise!" ”

A playful look in Jia Cong's eyes flashed away, and then he shouted in a deep voice, and said: "So, since the Son of Heaven and the imperial court only allow thirty percent, we have to control our greed." Those who do our business and cannot discipline themselves will die sooner or later. ”

……

"Alas......"

Out of the Yanzheng Yamen, Wei Chen took the first step, Han Tao and Yao Yuan, the two old enemies, rarely got along peacefully, after listening to Han Tao's long sigh, Yao Yuan smiled and asked, "Old Han, what's wrong?" ”

Han Tao shook his head and ignored it.

Yao Yuan said: "Do you think adults are too angry?" Waiting for Zhanpeng, Shen Lang, these descendants to be better than us? ”

Han Tao smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I'm also an old man, how can I be so naïve?" We old goods have too many marks on others, and we are dirty. can only be a subordinate, and it is difficult to become a confidant. If I still can't think of this truth, all these years will be in vain. ”

"Doesn't that make sense? So what are you doing with a sigh? ”

Yao Yuan said curiously.

Han Tao sighed and didn't answer.

Yao Yuan's eyes rolled, and he suddenly smiled: "Aren't you worrying about your back......"

"Shut up!"

Han Tao's face changed suddenly, and he shouted: "You think I don't know ...... behind your back?"

"Stop, stop!"

Yao Yuan's face also changed, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, and said, "Let's not say anything about anyone." He smiled bitterly again and said, "With the peerless posture of an adult, how could you not think of this?" Therefore, we did not give the adults the blessing of being a confidant. ”

As soon as these words came out, the two were no longer interested in saying more.

When the husband is in the world, he can't follow the dragon, but also the tiger.

Hold a three-foot sword, make immortal achievements, seal your wife and son, and glorify your ancestors.

The older you are, the more you understand the benefits to a person.

It is said that gold is easy to get, but it will be difficult to find.

In fact, this sentence is also true.

In the first generation of officials, there are hundreds of Shangguan encounters, and there are very few people who may be worthy of the word "Ming Lord".

And Jia Cong, no matter how you look at it, is a first-class understanding person.

Especially after today's remarks......

Pity......

It's hard for them to be their core subordinates.

Because even if Jia Cong gave them a chance, they couldn't cut the chains behind them......

……

"Is that all?"

After Han Tao, Yao Yuan and the others left, Jia Cong, Zhan Peng, and Shen Lang entered the inner room, and only three of them were there.

Looking at the roll of silver tickets that Shen Lang took out from his arms, Jia Cong asked with some regret.

On Shen Lang's iceberg-like face, he couldn't help but feel a touch of embarrassment.

In his life, he never thought that one day he would be a thief......

He is Jia Cong personally appointed by Jia Cong to supervise the raid of the Nanzhen Fusi Xianwei Qianhu, specializing in inspecting the wrestlers with unclean hands and feet.

Before the raid, he would take someone to record and conduct a thorough investigation to avoid being fished in troubled waters.

However, who would have thought that Shen Lang, who was the most unkind in the entire Jinyi Guard, would do the act of guarding and stealing himself......

Jia Cong saw that Shen Lang's face was unnatural, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't be burdened in your heart, if something happens one day, you just push me, and I asked you to do it......"

Zhan Peng sneered when he heard this, Shen Lang was silent, and after glancing at Zhan Peng indifferently, a pair of eyes looked at Jia Cong quietly.

Seeing this, Jia Cong apologized and said: "Naughty jokes, naughty jokes, if I can't trust you, I won't let you do such a thing." It's just that it's hard for you in the end, you are a very sincere person...... But I really can't do it, you know, there is a shortage of silver, especially the silver that you and Zhanpeng and Thirteen Niang have to expand their strength.

A penny is difficult for a hero, and it is difficult for me to let Shen Lang do such a thing.

After passing this hurdle and opening up a financial route, it will be easy to do in the future. ”

Shen Lang shook his head and said: "The adults are not for selfishness, but for the public, and their subordinates are not embarrassed." If this silver goes into the treasury, half of it can be used for the people. ”

Zhan Peng said with a grin: "My lord, next time let me do it, I won't have those things." This is clearly a chivalrous thing to rob the rich and help the poor, what is hypocrisy! ”

Jia Cong glanced at him warningly, and said, "This matter must not be allowed to spread half a word, including Li Rong." If there's a little gossip outside, you can run a dart with your father. ”

When Zhan Peng heard this, he lowered his face and said, "My lord, I'm not a long-tongued woman......

Jia Cong didn't bother to say much to him, so he said: "Don't talk about it, let's take a look at the Qiu family's affairs." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhan Peng and Shen Lang became serious.

Especially Shen Lang, he glanced at the stack of silver tickets on the small table, which was not thick, and a touch of self-blame flashed in his eyes.

At that time, I was ashamed, I took less, and next time, I will never be soft!

……

Night falls.

At the end of the unitary hour, Jia Cong, who had been busy all day, returned to the back house.

Go to the main house and visit Lin Ruhai.

Today, Zhang Youshi came to apply the needle again, although he knew that there would be no change, but he was not there during the day, and it was not good not to come and see it at night.

There were two grandmothers waiting for the night vigil outside the main room, and when they saw Jia Cong coming in, they hurriedly said, "Brother is here, sister is inside." ”

Jia Cong nodded, glanced at the two of them, didn't say anything, and went inside.

Originally, these people were going to be replaced, but Jia Cong currently did not have the right person in his hands.

If he buys it in Yangzhou Furen Market, then he dares to guarantee that nine out of ten are other people's people.

What is the background of a wealthy family, that is, there are endless available people in the entrainment.

For example, in the Jia family, in the family business accumulated by several generations, there are children who can be replaced at any time.

Although it may not be reliable, it is much more knowledgeable than buying it outside.

In the case of not being able to inherit the family business, Jia Cong's current background is still too thin.

So I can only keep these people for the time being......

"The third brother is done? Have you had dinner? ”

When I entered the room, I saw Daiyu get up from a coral round bench and greet her.

She wore a lotus white embroidered shirt with gold thread on her upper body, and below it was a silk skirt with a bud yellow pinched Yunxian pattern.

Pretty and moving, it makes people shine.

After Jia Cong glanced at it, he smiled and said, "I'm done, I haven't eaten yet, let's take a look at my uncle." How's it going, is my uncle feeling better? ”

Daiyu's face darkened slightly when she heard this, she shook her head and said softly: "It's still like that......"

Jia Cong smiled warmly: "That means that there is no deterioration, this is a good thing!" ”

Daiyu was stunned when she heard this, and looked up at Jia Cong, although she was not yet convinced, her eyes were no longer dim.

Jia Cong smiled at her, bypassed a peachwood four-fan screen, looked at Lin Ruhai who was unconscious on the bed, his eyes narrowed slightly, bowed, and then said to Daiyu who was following him: "You should go back early, don't disturb your uncle's rest." My uncle has worked hard all his life, and he is so tired that when he rests, he wakes up. ”

Even though she knew that this was a comforting lie, Daiyu still felt warm in her heart when she heard the words, and looked at Jia Cong and nodded lightly.

Looking at the black and white eyes with gratitude in them, Jia Cong smiled, looked left and right, and asked, "What about Aunt Qiu and Zijuan?" ”

Daiyu pursed her lips and said softly with a smile: "Aunt Qiu heard that she was going to Kew Gardens as a guest, so she went back to prepare first." Zijuan, Qingwen just came to Zijuan, saying that she wanted to carve a shoe. A few days ago, Qingwen didn't like Zijuan very much, but it's been fine for the past two days. ”

Jia Cong nodded and said with a smile: "She is straight, whether she likes it or not...... Let's go, I'll send you back first, and then I'll go to dinner." ”

Dai Yubai glanced at it and said softly: "What's the hurry, it's still early, I'll go to your courtyard to sit down, and then go back with Zijuan." ”

Jia Cong naturally couldn't say no, so he smiled and walked towards his courtyard with Daiyu.

Out of the door, the night breeze rose, and a faint moon rose in the sky.

Jia Cong saw that Daiyu was not wearing a big hat, shook his head, untied himself, draped it behind her, and blamed her for being careless.

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, without justifying or refusing......
