Chapter 760: Hearing the News
Jia Qing took a dry road, riding a fast horse all the way, so he rushed to the front of Daiyu and the others.
After arriving in Nanjing, I first went to see the winery in Nanjing, and then met Ni Er and others in the house of Ning Guofu.
Ni Er is now the head of the Xunfeng Carriage and Horse Company, except for Jia Qing and Jia Yun, he is the number one person in Xunfeng.
Now the banner of Xunfeng has been planted all over the important cities and towns of Dachu, otherwise, Jia Qing would not have been able to raise so much grain so smoothly last year, and hoard it in Nanjing, Taiyuan and Beijing.
However, Ni Er brought a few people this time, which surprised Jia Qing a little.
"The little ones knock on the second master......"
Five men, three women, eight people. There are big and small, the big two are already young people, and the younger two are only teenagers.
But all of them were full of energy.
It's just that he was a little nervous in front of Jia Qing.
"You are the eight little beggars back then?"
Although Jia Qing had heard a long time about the eight beggars he had inadvertently taken in back then and were now mixing well in Xunfeng, he didn't expect that they would all get mixed up in this position, and he would be able to let Ni Er personally bring them over to see him.
Eight people nodded.
Ni Er said with a smile: "Second master, don't look at them as beggars before, but now it's amazing." The Eight Tigers of the Bai Family are well-known on the road! ”
Jia Qing is a little funny, the Eight Tigers of the Bai Family? Look at those two little girls who are looking around, obviously childish and clean, and they are also the second of the eight tigers of the Bai family?
The White Tiger is pretty much the same!
How could Ni Er not guess Jia Qing's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Second master, don't underestimate them, Bai Da is now the number two person in the shadows, and he is responsible for collecting and probing intelligence." It's also the villain's right-hand man!
The seven younger brothers and sisters under him are all good players, helping Bai Da manage the huge intelligence network in the carriage and horse industry. Now, I don't dare to say that what the second master in Jinling City wants to know will not be kept and sent to the headquarters in an hour. The major events in the entire land south of the Yangtze River can be fully inquired about in two days at most!
At present, we already plan to spread the intelligence network to the capital, and in two years at most, we will ensure that the capital is as well connected as Nanjing. This plan was also proposed by Bai Da, and the villain had already agreed to it, and they would soon go to the capital. ”
At this time, Wu Xian'er also said: "Bai Da is really good, and he is safe and thoughtful." ”
She had called the dark part of the carriage and horse trade, and Bai Da had also heard it under her hands.
Only then did Jia Qing put away his smile and face it squarely.
Speaking of which, it can be regarded as his negligence, these things, he didn't know before. In the past, he used to use cars and horses, and he used to contact Jia Yun before, and then Ni Er, and there was no one further down.
His focus has always been in the capital.
White big. That is, the eldest brother of the original eight beggars, he was very humble, and saluted: "Aunt Xian'er and Ni are too famous, and the little one can get to this point today, all thanks to the great mercy of the second master back then, and take us in." Later, it was also necessary to be supported and supported by the seniors in the industry to gain a foothold in the industry. If you want to say credit, I really dare not take it. ”
"You don't have to be modest, I didn't know before, so I'm slow to treat you. Since you have great merit, I should reward you with something, but I don't have anything to reward me at this time.
Since you are known as the Eight Tigers, when I turn around, I will ask someone to cast eight golden daggers and give them to you, which is called the Eight Tigers Golden Dagger, do you think it is good? ”
Jia Qing said with a smile.
The people under his hands can do things, and they should naturally be rewarded.
"Thank you Second Master!!"
Bai Damu was moved. Now they are no longer the beggars who couldn't even eat enough back then, the golden dagger is nothing, and the most important thing is Jia Qingxiang.
This means that from now on, they will be Jia Qing's cronies!
The scene back then was like yesterday, but I didn't expect that it had only been a few years, and I and others could really stand in front of this person like this and get his commendation.
After leading the brothers and sisters to kowtow to Jia Qing again, they had to retreat.
Jia Qing asked: "By the way, has there been any major events in Jinling City recently?" ”
Bai Da thought for a while and said, "If it's a big deal, there are a few."
One is about the Zhen family, saying that the imperial court is investigating the deficit of Master Zhen Yingjia in the Zhen Mansion, and the Zhen family is raising silver taels everywhere for this.
The other thing is that the household department sent officials down to investigate the theft and sale of official grain, but it is not known what the specific situation is.
There is also the fact that Jiangnan Shilin slandered the holy bow......"
Bai Da glanced at Jia Qing, and Jia Qing nodded and motioned for him to continue.
Jiangnan Shilin was indignant, saying that the Son of Heaven was immoral, usurped the throne and forced the palace, killed courtiers indiscriminately, was arrogant and tyrannical, and liked to favor courtiers and humiliate loyal ministers.
In various tribute academies and schools, there are many literary societies and poetry societies that ridicule and scold.
The attitude of various local governments and forces is inexplicable, and many even secretly support it.
We learned that this situation has been transmitted to the capital by the Jinyi army, and it is estimated that the attitude of the imperial court will come down soon. ”
Jia Qing sneered in his heart. Objectively speaking, although Emperor Zhengqing is not a wise and majestic monarch, he is at least a wise monarch! How did it get into the mouths of these people and become like this?
Extravagance?
Jia Qing didn't see it at all!
It is said that Emperor Zhengqing has been repairing the palace and expanding the garden for the Emperor and the Queen Mother for more than ten years, but he has never built a large construction project for himself!
Besides, Emperor Zhengqing's harem, except for the harem that was expanded a few years ago, there has never been! Just imagine, an emperor who is not even a good woman can have anything to do with arrogance?
Now there are still hundreds of thousands of victims in the capital!
What do you think of these for the scholars in the gentle countryside of Jiangnan who can only read the books of sages? They can only be manipulated by others.
But Jia Qing was still not ready to pay attention to this matter. At this time, it is estimated that others do not know that he has arrived in Nanjing, and if he comes forward, it is estimated that the crowd will be even more angry.
You don't have to think about it to guess that among the courtiers they scolded, there must be a big name of their own!
In the past few years, the most favored magnate in Beijing is probably himself.
Thinking about it, it is also a ghost fire, and he asks himself to do the right thing in the world, and he has never been slandered, and he has not even been an official for a few days, and he has become a first-class traitor......
Even if he knew that he was affected by Emperor Zhengqing, Jia Qing was a little angry.
Seeing that Jia Qing didn't have any questions to ask again, Bai Da hesitated for a moment, and then said, "There is one more thing that has something to do with the second master." ”
"Say."
"It is said that a nephew of Chamberlain's in the Governor's Mansion fell in love with the girl of the Xue family, and he actually had the intention of marrying him......"
Jia Qing was stunned: "The girl of the Xue family? ”
Bai Dadao: "It is the cousin of the future Xue Er's grandmother's family, and her name is Xue Baoqin." She also has an older brother and a widowed mother. ”
Jia Qing's eyes were cold, is it Chamberlain again......
