Chapter 227: The Envoy of the Jingying Festival

As the leader of the four major families, Wang Ziteng naturally paid some attention to the children of each family.

Even if he didn't deliberately collect news, the discussion of his family had spread the story of Jia Rui to his ears.

Jia Rui's aura and a series of performances in the Dongcheng Terracotta Division also made him unable but to pay attention to Jia Rui.

After listening to Feng Ziying's report, Wang Ziteng pondered slightly.

"You guys go out, I'll meet this disciple of Wenchang Xingjun."

Several subordinates smiled and went out one after another.

Jia Rui came in and bowed to the prince.

"My nephew Jia Rui has seen my uncle."

Wang Ziteng didn't react, his eyes stared straight at Jia Rui, his gaze was sharp, as if he wanted to see through Jia Rui's heart.

As the envoy of the Jingying Festival, he has been in the officialdom for many years, and he feels that no one can hide his heart in front of him.

But he didn't see anything special in Jarry.

Didn't even see anything.

There was no panic, no begging, no flattery, not even respect and fear.

Only calm and polite.

Claiming to be a junior, in fact, I don't see much awe for my elders.

"Brother Rui'er, sit down, serve tea."

Wang Ziteng's name is Jia Ruirui's brother, which proves that he, at least on the surface, treats Jia Rui as a relative and junior, rather than receiving Jia Rui from the perspective of the public.

"Thank you, uncle."

"How is the old lady?"

"The ancestor is fine. Every day, I eat and drink, watch plays, play poker, and share family fun with my grandchildren and granddaughters. Few people are more comfortable than her. ”

Wang Ziteng smiled.

"The old lady understands that she is an open-minded person. By the way, I heard your second master say that you are presiding over the affairs of the provincial villa. ”

This kind of thing naturally can't be hidden from Wang Ziteng, and even many of the details and inside information in it are very clear to him.

"Actually, I didn't want to do it, but my ancestors forced me to do it, so I had to make it difficult."

"There's really no one better than you in this matter. What's going on with your auspicious flowers blooming in the first month? ”

"If you can say it, you can say it. If it's inconvenient to say, don't say it. I'm just curious. ”

"Uncle is not an outsider, and besides, this matter is just a trick. Fooling others, my uncle's eyes are like torches, and he can't be fooled. The nephew told his uncle the truth. ”

"Spring is full of flowers, and the seasons are like spring. As long as the heat in the house is about the same as spring, the flowers will bloom. ”

"To do that, you have to warm it up. Warming comes from three pathways. ”

"One, the sun shines through the glass, and second, the fire is burning in the house. Third, the glass roof is covered with a quilt to keep ...... insulated. ”

Jia Rui explained the principle of the glass flower cellar.

At the time, it was okay to fool people about this kind of thing, but after thinking about it, people could understand what the principle was.

"It was so simple, I thought there was something auspicious. Why? In order to overpower the limelight of those companies? ”

"It's not to overpower them, it's just to be different. Of course, this is not the main purpose. ”

"The main purpose is to save money."

"Save money?"

"Yes, just to save money."

"The East and West are now looking prosperous and glorious, but they are actually unable to make ends meet. It's just sitting and eating nothing. There are many who enjoy honor, but there are few who plan and plan. ”

"With the financial resources of the two governments, they can't actually afford the cost ......of saving the villas."

Mrs. Wang is Wang Ziteng's younger sister, and the affairs of the Jia family are not a secret to Wang Ziteng.

Jia Rui built a provincial villa and revised the construction plan, and others looked at it and maybe it was covered with clouds and mountains, and they couldn't see the truth clearly.

But for a big man like Wang Ziteng, he can see through the secrets at a glance. Regarding the financial situation of the Jia family, Wang Ziteng will not be unaware.

So, Jia Rui didn't hide it from him. Even though it was the first time the two had spoken alone, he decided to tell the truth.

In front of such a big man, it is actually useless to be clever. Instead, it will make Wang Ziteng feel that Jia Rui is insulting his IQ.

"If there is nothing important, you will not come to see me. Say, what's the matter with me? ”

"The Tatar attack on the capital."

"I've heard a little about it, and I know that you captured those two Tatars. The people have already been released, and no one thinks that the Tatars will come to attack the capital, what else do you have to say?

"Do you want me to get those two people back? That's impossible. ”

"It's not for my uncle to arrest people, but to remind my uncle of one thing."

"Say."

"The nephew thought that the Tatars would really come to attack the capital. Even if he does not attack the city directly, he will loot and defend the Gyeonggi area, and his uncle will be the main force to resist the Tatars. There is no room for error. ”

"Hmph, the Tatars will come to Gyeonggi, how can they come?"

"Borrow my uncle's map."

On the wall of Wang Ziteng's house, there was a large map, and Jia Rui walked over and picked up the wooden pole.

"Here in Shanshui Pass, although it is known as an army of 200,000, how many people are really capable of fighting? Presumably my uncle knows better than me. ”

"The Tatars do not have many soldiers and horses, they are good at field warfare, they are not good at attacking fortifications, and my nephew thinks that they will not knock on the gates and attack the city, and attack my strengths with their own shortcomings."

"The best way is to bypass the Shanshui Pass and take Mogu."

"Hmph, through Mogu? The Tatars and the Mogu people are feuding, will the Mogu people let them pass through the way? ”

"There are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests."

"First, both the Tatars and the Mogu people have been severely affected this year, and the two of them are the same in terms of plundering in the south."

"Second, the Han land, which is close to Tatar and Mogu, has also suffered serious disasters this year. In the past, the Tatars also plundered the northern region. There's really nothing left to grab in that area. ”

"The Gyeonggi area is rich, and the people enjoy peace and tranquility. Although there are many soldiers and horses, there are few people who have experienced the war. Moreover, they are all plains, suitable for steppe iron cavalry combat. In the field, our army will fall to the upper hand. If you plunder here, you will definitely get a lot of gains. ”

"Third, although the distance is far away, it is only more than a thousand miles. For the infantry when they came, this front was very long. But for the steppe cavalry, it was only a few days' journey. ”

"They are alone, how can they keep up with the supply of food and grass? If there is no food and grass, what is the use of them coming? ”

"If there is no grain and grass, you can supply it on the spot and feed the war with war, so why bring more grain and grass?"

"Anything else?"

Even if the Mogu people do not join the Tatars, they may not be able to stop the Tatars from borrowing the way. One is that the Mogu people are beyond their reach, and the other is that the grassland is vast and sparsely populated, and there are many roads to go. Even if the Mogu people found out, they may not be able to hit the stone with an egg and fight with the Tatars. ”

"If I were the Mogu people, not only would I not stop the Tatars from going south at this time, but I would take advantage of the fire to rob and plunder south, and get through the difficulties."

After Jia Rui finished speaking, he sat back and drank tea.

Wang Ziteng was silent for a while before he slowly spoke.

"Do you think anyone will believe you? What do you want me to do when you tell me this? ”

"I'm just saying what I think, and as to whether others believe it or not, that's their business. Uncle doesn't need me to tell you how to do it. ”

"I'm also a family, and I don't dare to say that it's necessarily right. At this point, the nephew retired. ”

"Oh, you go back."

Wang Ziteng casually agreed, and without sending off the guests, he walked to the front of the map and fell into thought.

Will it really be what he says?
