Chapter 351: Blocking the Way of People and Wealth

The latter seemed to be a little hesitant when he heard this, and Jia Lian stood still when he saw this, frowning slightly.

"But what's there to talk about? Now that it's already here, what else can't be said? ”

"This ......"

The embarrassment on his face was even stronger, and the smoke was staggering.

"Back to the second master, it was our master who said that this matter must not be passed on, otherwise, otherwise my master will definitely pick his skin."

The reason why it is difficult is because Jia Baoyu's meaning is to let the family do good deeds without leaving a name.

If it used to be nothing, it was a family, but now the two rooms are two unrelated families, and this is lacking in etiquette.

But Jia Baoyu has been very strictly controlled by Jia Zheng since the second room set up his own door, and this Qi official still met at a party invited by King Beijing.

On weekdays, because Jia Zheng has a strict control over Jia Baoyu, whenever he meets in private, he is not sneaky on May Day.

Now that the East Window incident has happened, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, not to mention that the Zhongshun Royal Mansion is only slightly weaker, and it is still a royal person after all, and where can the people in the Grand View Garden afford it.

Therefore, if Jia Zheng knew that Jia Baoyu had privately asked Jia Lian to help in the rivers and lakes. Now that the people who protect him are gone, and if he annoys Jia Zheng again, his little life will basically be explained.

"Well, I see, you guys go ahead."

Jia Lian didn't ask Jia Baoyu to give him anything in return, he just begged this person to make less trouble for him, and everything would be fine.

So she agreed happily, Mingyan'er fell to the ground with a big stone in her heart, and successfully moved to the rescuer, thanked her again and again, and followed Xing'er to the outskirts of the city.

Looking at the backs of the two of them in the distance, Jia Lian's hand unconsciously knocked on the table.

Jia Lian hadn't noticed it just now, but at this time, he felt a sigh in his heart.

Although he is full of confidence, he has now discovered many things, and he unconsciously is still developing towards the direction of the Red Mansion in the future.

Although under his influence, the two rooms of the big house have now been separated, whether it is Jia Tanchun and his relatives, or the relationship between Jia Baoyu and this servant.

Thoughts are flying, and the apprehension in my heart is even stronger.

I tried to recall in my mind who was the first to fall in the first place, and how long it was until now.

Although the task assigned to him by the emperor has not yet been fully completed, Jia Lian is always faintly uneasy in his heart, so he can't lift his spirits.

Zhuang Xian and the others had already withdrawn when Ming Yan'er was talking to Jia Lian, and it happened that Jia Lian had ordered him to go out to inquire about the autumn harvest of grain.

"I heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has to put these grains into the warehouse every year, and in order to prevent disaster years and for the sake of the royal face, the old grain has been accumulated in the warehouse and has never been distributed, but sometimes in the earthquake, the old grain stored in the Huangzhuang will also be sent out."

The grain mentioned here is to be divided into two kinds, one is in the state treasury, and the peasants below are taxed.

All taxes are divided into two types, one is to use a few percent of the plants as taxes. The other is to give cash directly.

Therefore, the grain in the treasury is also divided into two types, one is the tax grain, and the other is the imperial grain produced by the emperor in the imperial village.

Usually the palace itself uses the imperial grain produced in the imperial village, and some of it is the tribute grain paid by various places.

So in this way, excluding the grain that is sometimes being distributed, it should be said that there is a very large amount of grain in the treasury.

After all, no matter how many people in the palace are, they can never compare with the people of the whole country.

You must know that the tax grain here is transported to Kyoto, but it is planted by the people from all over the world in the whole of Daxuan.

Of course, because of privileges and aristocratic relations, because of the number of people and officials, there is also a family gatekeeper.

These people are privileged and exempt from paying taxes, so many families often put their own land in the name of others in order to avoid taxes.

In this case, although it will still give a certain amount of benefits to the crown celebrity, it will always be less than that given to the imperial court.

Therefore, as a result, a large part of the tax revenue of the imperial court fell into the pockets of these people.

However, despite this, the food delivered to Kyoto is not too ugly.

Originally, Jia Lian thought that there were only so many people in the palace, and the food sent would definitely not be able to be eaten, so the food left over from previous years could have other effects.

After all, in addition to Kyoto, other places also have their own granaries, and not all grain is sent to Kyoto.

In this way, even if you open a position for disaster relief, under normal circumstances, the first consideration will not be Kyoto.

Instead of keeping the old grain and letting it go bad, it is better to directly give it to him for other uses.

And here he uses, Jia Lian is talking about making fast food.

Although I know that in this era, there are steamed buns for one penny and baked cakes for two pennies everywhere.

Compared with these two, the fast food of Twenty Wen seems to be very luxurious.

But after experiments, Jia Lian discovered.

Perhaps in other places, such fast food restaurants will not be implemented quickly, after all, people's living standards are low, and the price of fast food is already considered high.

With this money, they can already go home by cutting meat again.

After all, at this time, pork is cheap meat and is not worth a few dollars.

It's just that even the wontons on Nanmen Street cost ten cents a bowl, so Jia Lian's fast food, plus a soup, seems acceptable.

And facts have proved that although the business of the three fast food restaurants opened by Jia Lian in Kyoto is not very hot, compared with the traditional small wine shops, Jia Lian's fast food restaurants have low prices and low costs, and the profits are small and quick turnover, which is very considerable.

And if the state comes forward to do this, if it can achieve a nationwide chain in the future, the benefits can be seen.

Of course, if you really want to build a fast food restaurant, you must be quite particular about the location, for example, the most important thing is in the township.

After all, the price of fast food is still a luxury compared to farmers who farm at home.

It's just that now, Jia Lian is so anxious about the incident in the Red Mansion that he doesn't attach so much importance to the errand sent by the emperor.

So casually instructed Zhuang Xian to inquire about the handling of the old grain in previous years, and Jia Lian began to ponder the idea of whether to return the treasury.

Now in Jia Lian's opinion, Zhen Yingjia's original statement was so wise.

The Zhen family is the most intimate relationship with the royal family among the four major families.

There was a crown princess in the family first, although the prince was later deposed, but the status of the Zhen family was not greatly shaken in the court.

And now the Zhen family has two daughters who are ready to marry into the royal family.

But even so, the message that Zhen Yingjia conveyed before was to pay off the treasury as soon as possible.

Coupled with a series of subsequent major events with the handover of the Red Mansion, this made Jia Lian a little nervous.

So although the rest of the people in Beijing did not make any moves, Jia Lian still wanted to pay off the treasury as soon as possible.

The day's yamen ended in a hurry, and Jia Lian didn't have time to think about anything else, so he rushed home to find Jia Yu first.

"I heard that the Zhen family has been raising money to pay off the treasury, and my son went to the yamen today, and I vaguely heard the rumors, as if the emperor intended to investigate."

deliberately made the matter very serious, Jia Lian looked at Jia Yu quietly.

Although Jia Lian talked about this topic before, Jia Yu had a bottom in his heart, and guessed that there would be such a day, but it was only a dozen hours, and Jia Lian brought up the old matter again, which he didn't expect.

With a look of embarrassment on his face, Jia Yu's mouth opened as if he wanted to say something, but the words swirled on the tip of his tongue and swallowed again.

"I can't do this alone, let's see what the others mean."

The grasshoppers who are now tied to the same line as the Jia family, in addition to Ning Guofu, there is also a historian with two marquises.

As an imperial merchant, the Xue family did not take over the fight in the early years. In addition, their status is different, so there is still a certain gap between them and a family like the Jia family.

In addition, the Xue family was originally Mrs. Huang's maiden family, but now Mrs. Wang's line is broken, and the big house and the second room are separated.

So even if Aunt Xue Xue Pan wanted to find a relationship to cling to Jia Lian, she didn't find a breakthrough for a while.

After all, now that Mother Jia is dead, Aunt Xue is still suspected of killing Mrs. Wang.

Jia Zheng didn't know that he still had contact with the Xue family, but Jia Baoyu was there that day.

So now that the Xue family is in Kyoto, it can be said that they don't have any backers.

If it weren't for Xue Baochai's smart head, when he was in Yuanchun Province earlier, he would have been able to catch up in time, I am afraid that he would not be able to stay in Kyoto, which is full of nobles.

It's just that Yuan Chun is now taking care of himself in the palace, and the Xue family is such a big mouthful of meat, there are always people eyeing it, and it is the Wang family, which has become the best destination.

And now Jia Lian is looking for Jia Yu to discuss wanting to return the treasury, which was originally a tacit thing for the four major families, so even if the relationship between the Jia family and the Wang family is delicate now, they have to bring the Shi family to discuss together.

Broken bones and tendons, in the early years, the major families married each other, and the internal kinship has long been indescribable, and the industries between each other are even more varied.

is also the Jia family, in the early years, because of Jia's mother's partiality, most of the people who were assigned to the big house were money-losing goods, so they had a clear relationship with these big families.

It's just that Jia Lian also knows that in this situation, if he comes forward to return the treasury alone, others will definitely attack him in groups, so here, he has to find a few allies.

The others don't know what's inside, although they seem to have a good relationship at the moment, Jia Lian is always a little vigilant in his heart.

"What do you guys say?"

Anyway, they are all in Kyoto, and they are not far away, so they directly let the three families meet that night, and Jia Yu spoke openly.

Now because of the matter of the king of Nan'an, a series of turmoil caused by Jia Lian earlier has been temporarily covered up.

But if Jia Lian takes the lead to repay his debts now, then Kyoto must set off another storm.

Those who stand in the way of people's wealth, such as murdering parents.

The things that Jia Lian made trouble about earlier, and now everyone here, including the Jia family, can be said to be victims.

It is impossible to say that the historian and the Wang family have no complaints.

The Shi family was hindered by the relationship with the Jia family, and the prince of the Wang family knew Jia Lian's status in front of the emperor.

That's why they have lived in peace ever since.

But now Jia Lian is stirring up this topic, which they can't tolerate.

"At the beginning, they were the ones who took over, but now they want us to pay it back, the world is difficult, what kind of life are we living, you don't know, why is Brother Jia still shabby us."

didn't mention at all how many private houses Mrs. Wang got back from Jia's house, nor did she mention how many kickbacks they ate for the things left after the emperor left after taking the driver.

Wang Ziteng hooked the corners of his mouth in disgust, and looked at Jia Lian with a smile.

In good conscience, if Jia Lian is the Wang family's own junior, Wang Ziteng will be happy.

It's a pity that Jia Lian is not, and it doesn't stop there, before Wang Ziteng was promoted, Jia Lian embarrassed him one after another.

Although that kind of embarrassment was insignificant, and even brought him a lot of benefits, but now that Wang Ziteng has become the governor of the nine provinces, it is not surprising that he is a cabinet scholar, how could he let Jia Lian drag him back in this kind of matter.

Unexpectedly, Wang Ziteng's attitude was so tough, and Jia Lian was a little hesitant for a while.

didn't show it on his face, he still looked indifferent, Jia Lian smiled slightly.

"Why is Lord Wang angry at me, the meaning of the one above is not what you and I can control.

You don't know the situation in the court now. On the surface, it seems to be peaceful, but in private, you know better than me.

And privately, according to the information I have gotten, it seems that the emperor is now going to take the family. ”

Wang Ziteng has always claimed to be the emperor's right and left hand, which is why he often sneered at Jia Lian, which stems from a sense of crisis.

It's just that Wang Ziteng also knows that what Jia Lian said is true.

In fact, this is just Jia Lian, a blind cat meeting a dead mouse. According to the big events that are about to happen in the future, Jia Lian casually said two sentences, but he didn't expect to be really right.

Things in the court are the same every day, in fact, there is nothing to say.

But that is only for Jia Lian, and for Wang Ziteng, who has been immersed in the court for decades, it is not difficult to guess the meaning behind the emperor.

As early as when Jia Lian raided a lot of shops.

Wang Ziteng's shop survived with his foresight.

From this, he also guessed the idea of hiding behind the emperor. But this is also the reason why he did not agree with Jia Lian to repay his debts.

The fines of each shop in advance have already put the officials of the family and the people on the same level to a certain extent.

That is, to treat everyone equally, not to engage in privileges.

And now, according to Jia Lian's meaning, he can't help but think about it a little more.

Is the emperor using this method to guide others to repay their debts, and if they don't, what will happen next?!

And in order to minimize his losses, he means not to pay back.

After all, the four major families are all grasshoppers on a rope, if it was Jia Lian, without their consent, he secretly returned the money. When the time comes, their position in the emperor's heart will inevitably plummet.

So according to Wang Ziteng's meaning, even if it is according to Jia Lian himself, he can't pay back this money.

"Ming people don't say secret words, Brother Lian has been an official in the court for many years, there are some things I don't say, you should also know."

The meaning of this is a threat.

Of course, Jia Lian understood the meaning, but compared to what was going to happen in the future generations, Wang Ziteng's threat was too insignificant.

After all, in the near future, it is rumored that the prince's will die violently.
