Chapter 0123: Admiral of the Nine Gates
This public carriage incident is undoubtedly a major external threat to Jiafu. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The specific manifestations of this threat are the emperor's threat to their lives and property, the property plundering of Niu Jizong and others, and the major pressure of external public opinion.
Theoretically speaking, the people in Jiafu are all sitting in the same boat, and they are a community with a shared future. They have common interests. It was supposed to be a share of honor and disgrace.
But, in practice, this is not the case.
This is true not only of Jiafu, but of any other organization.
Even if they have common interests, being individual members of them does not necessarily automatically tend to make sacrifices and contributions to the collective.
The behavioral orientation of each person and the degree of enthusiasm of their actions actually depend on their calculations and trade-offs between the two elements.
These two elements are the risks and costs of acting on your own.
In terms of risk, the fear of external threats constitutes an obstacle to the unity of the Jia Province and the common external situation, some people will be afraid, some will run away, and some will even rebel.
As far as the cost is concerned, everyone in Jia Fu will calculate, once the business of this bus and horse carriage is successful, what will they gain from it? Or if the operation fails, what do you lose?
They will calculate whether the final reward they receive will match the share he contributes. Or calculate, whether you can afford what you lose.
Such concerns determine whether the joint action against external threats can become a reality.
The Emperor's decree confirmed that this threat was inevitable. Even in this case, there is no guarantee that the people of Jia will be united.
Different people in Jiafu may still take different actions because of different individuals, different risks and costs, different costs and different incentives at each stage.
Like Jia Min, he is pursuing the public interest of Jia Fu with all his might.
For the most part, the Jia Mu Society pursues the public interest of the Jia Mansion.
Others will certainly hope that Jia Fu will survive this hurdle, but in terms of specific actions, it will be very different.
Some will take the opportunity to seek their own personal interests, Jia pardon. Wang Xifeng and his ilk came out completely. The idea of wanting to split up is a concrete manifestation.
The little masters like Baoyu and the girls are in a state of hitchhiking, no matter what the outcome is, I just go with the flow.
It is not even ruled out that the masters and subordinates of Jiafu will collude with Niu Jizong and others.
Even Zhang Cai, a secret agent of the Jinyi Army, followed the official family and even the emperor, posing a threat to Jiafu.
How Jia Min dealt with this crisis, and until now has kept it a secret from others, is out of this concern. There are some things that do not work if they are made known.
That's the advantage of information asymmetry.
Even if Jia Mu is in charge of the family, she has her own calculations in it.
The most typical thing is two things.
One is that after things fail, Jia Min's plan to replace the dead ghost is launched.
The other thing, she didn't tell anyone, even Jia Min didn't realize it. That is, when Jia's mother went to Yeduju to ask Jia Min to return home, she actually secretly prepared another plan.
When Jia Min can't be invited back by other means, the beauty plan is implemented. One of Lin Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun, and Xue Baochai was promised to Jia Min.
However, later Jia Min agreed, so she didn't have to use this trick.
Therefore, it is actually impossible to achieve a situation in which all people are truly united and work together with the outside world.
Jia Min also did not naively expect that there would be such a time. As long as the situation in the government is generally stable and his decisions can be carried out, he will be content.
At this time, the betting money is accompanied back, which is for the purpose of stabilizing people's hearts and building consensus.
Jia Min's minimum goal is: I don't ask you to contribute much, but you don't mess with me either.
Publicly punishing Wang Xifeng and Baoyu, and sending Jia Rong to Yeduju are all part of this action.
Another purpose of losing money is to be a bait. Jia Min wants to take this opportunity to fish out the power hidden in the shadows.
Niu Jizong: They are now an open force, and the emperor is also an open force. However, this incident, Niu Jizong and the emperor are only the two ends of this incident, and there is still a link in between.
This link is the promoter of the official palace headed by Luo Hanlin and the Admiral of Jiumen.
This part of the power has not yet been fully exposed. What their intentions, the bottom line, are, are not entirely clear.
At this time, to lose money to the subordinates is to give them an excuse to come to the stage by themselves.
Jia Min's preset behavior logic for them is: Since you, Jiafu, can take out more than 8,000 taels of silver to accompany your subordinates at this time, why can't you spend the silver on the bus and carriage?
Because of the emperor's errand, it is not only a pressure on Jiafu, but also a huge pressure on these officialdom.
Once Jiafu can't do a good job, and the people from the vassal country come, when the drama is smashed, they can't explain it to the emperor.
From this point of view, they are in the same interests as Jiafu. However, before, they tied their own interests to Niu Jizong. That's how they mismatched their roles.
According to this situation, that is, in the future, Jiafu will do this errand well, and they will eat both Niu Jizong and Jiafu without paying. Jia Fu took all the risks and costs, and fulfilled the two of them.
Before inviting Jia Min back, Jia Fu had actually acquiesced to this kind of ending. However, when Jia Min is back, he will not let this happen in his own hands.
You want me to do my errand, yes, but you have to give something, if not more. Not only told me to run errands, but also told me to be the wrongdoer, where is such a good thing?
The so-called crisis has two meanings. One is danger, and the other is opportunity. Jia Min wants to take advantage of this crisis to seek greater benefits.
To some extent, he is playing a cliff tactic: intensifying contradictions, detonating conflicts, seducing all forces, and then winning in chaos.
The tactics quickly worked, and the next day, Admiral Jiumen and Shuntianfu Yin came.
Jia Min is waiting for them. As for Niu Jizong, Liu Fang and others, Jia Min now treats them as dead people.
The "Nine Gates" of the Nine Gate Admirals refer to the Zhengyang Gate, Chongwen Gate, Xuanwu Gate, Chaoyang Gate, Dongzhi Gate, Xizhi Gate, Fucheng Gate, Desheng Gate and Anding Gate in the imperial capital.
Admiral, is the meaning of the superintendent.
The Admiral of the Nine Gates is an official of Zheng Erpin and the leader of the forbidden army. The main responsibility is to manage the city defense and law and order of the imperial capital. It belongs to the military profession.
How could such a person be in charge of such a business as a bus and horse-drawn carriage? Isn't that out of place?
From the perspective of the Admiral of the Nine Gates, it is indeed out of place. However, this Admiral of the Nine Gates is not full-time, but is part-time by the emperor's most trusted minister.
This minister is Liu Changfeng of the Military Aircraft Department, and the economic, administrative and other affairs of the imperial capital are under his jurisdiction. It was he who held the position of Admiral of the Nine Gates.
The errand assigned by the emperor, he came, and it was normal.
Shuntianfu Yin is here, which is normal. This Shuntian Mansion has jurisdiction over 24 prefectures and counties such as Wanping, Daxing, Changping, and Zhuozhou, which is equivalent to the mayor of the imperial capital and is in charge of the administrative affairs of the imperial capital. The bus and carriage project is within his jurisdiction. He is a three-grade official.
Although the level of Shuntianfu Yin is not high, his power is not small. It is ranked in the court class, and you can go to the palace to face the king. His duties are linked to the Six Ministries, and he can influence, change, or even negate the decisions made by the Six Ministries through the Emperor.
Shuntianfu also has a very good responsibility, that is, it can undertake complaints from all over the country, although it is not a criminal department, but it has the functions of a criminal department, and is known as a "small criminal department".
Such two cattle people are here, which shows the importance of the bus and horse-drawn carriage.
Jia Min was naturally not taken seriously by them, so he went directly to see Jia Mu. Before coming, Jia Zheng was specially notified, so Jia Zheng also took leave today and waited at home.
Last night, Jia Min had already received a notice, so as soon as Lai Da came to call, he went to Rongxi Hall.
Although Jia Mu was a little nervous about the arrival of the Admiral of Jiumen and the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, she was also a person with an order, and the other party did not dare to make a mistake. At the same time, Jia's mother often enters the palace to see Jia Yuanchun, and she is from a big family, so she also has knowledge.
Now that he has carte blanche to Jia Min, he will let it go. She had a gut feeling that Jia Min could handle the two.
Although Admiral Jiumen and Shuntian Mansion Yin had already heard of Jia Min, they were still a little surprised when they really met. The two exchanged glances, both of them thinking the same thing.
Sure enough, it was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child. This Jia Mansion handed over such a heavy task to him, and he didn't know what to think. Even if he had some poetry and business skills before, and managed things like buses and carriages, he was still younger.
Is there really no one in Jiafu, or are they not taking this errand seriously at all?
"You're Jia Min?"
Admiral Jiumen asked unceremoniously, his tone naturally arrogant.
"It's here, dare to ask why the two adults came?"
Tema's, why did you come here? You little brat, do you think we're willing to come? If you do a good job of the imperial mission, do you still need us? didn't send you to the yamen for questioning, it just gave you a lot of face, and even asked why you came?
"Hehe, Jia Min, I heard that you are now responsible for the affairs of the bus and carriage?"
"Exactly. There is no one in the house, so I have to reluctantly make it difficult. ”
"Do you know that this is the emperor's mission?"
"Of course you know."
"There's only ten days left until operations resume, do you know?"
"Nature is clear."
It's clear that it's like it's okay. Don't you know that we are all in a hurry like a house on fire?
"Do you know the consequences of disobeying the Emperor's orders?"
"Of course you know."
Now that he knows it and doesn't do anything, is he a fool?
