Chapter 0446 - Push into the fire pit
After Jia Min decided the overall situation of revising the Provincial Parent Hospital, he handed over the specific matters to Jia Lian and Xue Zhen to handle, and he returned to Yeduju.
Today's Jia Lian is fundamentally different from the past.
Not only has the experience and ability been greatly improved, but also in terms of character and sense of responsibility for Jiafu, it is also fundamentally different from the past.
In the future, Jia Lian will be the best helmsman in Rongguo Mansion and even Ning Guofu.
At the same time, after two years of training, the younger generation of the Jiafu people has grown up.
Jia Qiang, Jia Yun, Jia Qin, Jia Zhi, Jia Ping, Qin Zhong, etc., are all different from what they used to be.
These people are not only capable, but also reliable, and they are also very loyal to Jia Min. Able to resolutely carry out Jia Min's will.
For Jia Fu, the biggest gain in the past two years is actually Jia Lian and Jia Qiang. The growth of these people has successfully avoided the problem of talent fault in Jiafu.
Otherwise, like Baoyu, Jia Huan, and Jia Rong, no matter how powerful Jiafu is, if it comes into their hands, it will be destroyed in their hands sooner or later.
In the internal affairs of the two prefectures, there was a young generation such as Qin Keqing, Baochai, Tanchun and Li Kun, who successfully provoked the pillars of Jiafu.
Now Jia Min doesn't have to do whatever he wants to do, as before, he has to do it himself. As long as you say your intentions and directions, these people will follow through.
With talent, everything is easy to do. For a large family, this is the most important wealth.
Regarding the repair of the Provincial Hospital, Jia Min's opinion is different from others.
Nominally, it was to promote filial piety so that the concubines could meet and reunite with their families.
Actually, when you think about it, this excuse seems funny.
When the concubines were provincial, a large number of eunuchs and palace maids had to accompany them, and the imperial forest army and the imperial guards were also like great enemies, saying that they were reunited with their families, but in fact, there was no private space to get along with their families at all.
In terms of time, the itinerary is also very tight, that is, seven or eight hours.
This is not fundamentally different from the concubines who usually meet their families in the pepper room on the second and sixth of every month.
Therefore, Jia Min suspects that the emperor actually has another motive for this move.
There is only one real motive, and that is to take the opportunity to weaken the financial resources of these concubine families.
Repair and build the provincial family's hospital, which will not be fooled, and will have to invest a lot of money. Seven or eight hundred thousand taels of silver, even for the top big families, is a heavy burden.
This investment alone has the potential to bring down a large family. Even if it doesn't drag on, it's likely to be saddled with debt. The family's financial embarrassment is inevitable.
Why did the emperor do this?
Naturally, it was for the sake of maintaining imperial power.
In all dynasties, the maintenance of imperial power depended on the four major power groups.
The first is the civilian power, which is the basis for the daily functioning of the imperial court.
The second is the noble forces, which are the heroes and their descendants when they fought the country. To a certain extent, they had common interests with the emperor.
The third is the eunuch power, which is the power around the emperor.
Fourth, the forces of foreign relatives. If the power of foreign relatives is large, it is also detrimental to the imperial power.
Because the power of relatives involves the position and power of the queen, and the position of the queen involves the position of the prince. The position of the crown prince involves the issue of succession to the throne.
It is best for these four forces to be balanced, or even mutually restrained. Or the four forces are relatively weak, so that the emperor can be at ease.
It is based on this logic that Jia Min made the judgment that the revision of the Provincial Family Court was a measure for the emperor to take the opportunity to weaken his relatives.
According to the same logic, the major families that began to train the government soldiers since the previous year also have a new explanation.
It takes a lot of money to run the government soldiers, which is also a means to weaken the major families.
If they catch up with a war like the battle of North Ventura last year, the families will lose more than just money. There are also the children of the younger generation in the family.
In fact, in last year's battle for North Windura, the major families suffered heavy losses, both in terms of money and personnel.
The only exception is the five families and six prefectures of the Jia Min Fu Corps.
These five families and six prefectures not only did not lose anything, but became stronger and stronger because of it.
If the emperor really wanted to weaken the major families, his purpose was completely frustrated in the Jia Minfu Corps.
Therefore, it is a matter of course that the government corps will be abolished in the end.
It is said that it is a retrenchment, but in fact, after the battle of North Ventura, the provincial corps of each province has already lost all its personnel and equipment, and it has long been in name only.
The only remaining fruit is the increasingly powerful Jia Minfu Corps.
As soon as he thought of this, Jia Min couldn't help but think of the Provincial Courtyard this time.
If the emperor knew that in the future, not only did he not weaken Jiafu through this matter, but Jiafu would have increased another source of wealth and made its economic strength stronger, I don't know how he would feel.
What distinguishes Jia Fu from other families is that it belongs to both the Xungui group and the foreign relatives group.
This identity is also easy to arouse the jealousy of other group forces.
At present, the eunuch forces basically do not have much influence on the government and politics, and the main forces are actually the civil official group and other noble forces.
Therefore, weakening the power of foreign relatives is not only the interests of the emperor, but also the interests of civilian forces and noble forces.
The repair of the provincial family courtyard is obviously an image project that costs the people and money, and with the shrewdness of the emperor and the princes and ministers, can it still be seen?
It can be seen that it is actively promoted, which is obviously an ulterior motive.
The days of Yedu Ju are calm and tranquil.
Now there is no one else here, only a left-behind class.
Jia Min is here, and he has obtained a rare purity.
I was tired of it, so I went to Liujiazhuang and got together with Fang Xiucai from time to time. Or go to Xiawazi and have a drink with Liu Tieshan and Nan'er.
After a while, he was also going to go to Zhili to see Ning'er, and then go back to his hometown.
After the arrangements were made here, he was going to Bukui.
This time to Bukui, according to his prediction, will not return to the imperial capital for a long time.
At this time, Jia Min was eating wine with Niu Jizong.
Since rescuing Niu Jizong in North Wendula, Niu Jizong, Liu Fang and others have completely reconciled with Jia Min.
However, the other three did not come this time, and only Niu Jizong came today alone.
After Zhang Decai arranged the wine and food, he quietly withdrew, leaving only Jia Min and Niu Jizong, drinking slowly.
"Brother Niu seems to have something to say? Is there something difficult about it? ”
Jia Min had long seen that Niu Jizong was unsettled. It seems that he wants to say something, but he stops.
"It's not that I'm worried about anything, it's that I'm worried about Brother Min."
"Why did Brother Niu say this? I am now white, and I have nothing to do with anyone else. ”
"Yesterday, Luo Hanlin came to eat and drink with a few of us and said something incomprehensible, so today I came to remind Brother Min that we must be careful."
"Luo Hanlin? Why should this person always be aggressive? Now that I'm white, why don't you let me go? What's the plot this time? ”
"It's not good, it's just a conspiracy. Sounds like I'm thinking about you. It's just that this person has a deep prejudice against you, and this time such a change is really suspicious. ”
"Oh? It's strange that Luo Hanlin would think about me. ”
"He said that recently, he and his uncle and others are preparing to push you to make a comeback."
"Push me to make a comeback? Unlikely. ”
"That's where the doubts lie. In a few days, the deputy head of the Zongren Mansion will return to his hometown, and he will push you to take over the deputy head of the king. ”
"Zongren Mansion? Hehe, that's not a good job. ”
"That's right, the Zongren Mansion is in charge of the royal family, and it is a thankless fire pit, and whoever goes is unlucky. Deputy General Manager Wang was originally a person who hoped to enter the cabinet military aircraft university, but it was because of his stay in the Zongren Mansion that his future was delayed all these years, and now he has long been discouraged and has asked the emperor for resignation many times, and the emperor has only recently relented. ”
"This is to hang me up and roast me on the fire. However, Brother Niu doesn't have to worry, the emperor won't allow me to go. ”
"At first, I thought the same, but I heard that His Royal Highness Chang'an and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were also actively involved in this matter, so I was anxious for Fourth Brother Min."
Hearing that the prince and Chang'an were interfering, Jia Min had to pay attention to it.
He knew that because he opposed the war last time, the emperor did not want to see him.
The subsequent defeat and his rescue of the prince and princess and the recovery of South Wendura are actually equivalent to slapping the emperor in the face.
The emperor has not let Jia Min come back, and for Jia Min, this matter has long passed, and he is no longer obsessed with it.
However, for the emperor, this matter has not yet passed.
Every emperor, no matter how mediocre he is, doesn't want others to see him as a faint monarch, and likes to regard himself as a bright monarch.
Jia Min has made continuous military exploits, but now he has not been able to reuse, and it is also a double-edged sword for the emperor.
This certainly shows his authority, but the fact that the reward should not be rewarded and the punishment that should be punished is not punished, which is also a loss for the emperor's reputation.
For a meritorious person like Jia Min, if others don't say anything about the emperor's conduct and behavior, they will inevitably question it in their hearts.
Will this happen to me in the future?
Therefore, it is entirely possible for the emperor to reactivate Jia Min at the right time.
It seems to be a good choice to put Jia Min in the distance, and to put it by his side.
Managing the affairs of the royal family has always been a tricky task, and if it is not done well, taking this opportunity to weaken Jia Min's prestige seems to prove the validity of not using Jia Min before.
If Jia Min manages the Zongren Mansion well, there will be no loss for the emperor.
The composition of the royal family is also very complicated, and it is also a good thing for the emperor to borrow Jia Min's iron fist to integrate the order of the royal family's forces.
As for Chang'an and the crown prince's interference, Jia Min believes that the motives of the two are different.
The prince must not have been at ease and pushed himself into this fire pit.
Chang'an is out of good intentions, and he wants to fight for some justice for Jia Min, so that he can get some compensation and have a better future in the future.
As for Luo Hanlin and Luo Qihua, they will not have any good intentions. Although the motive is not necessarily the same as that of the prince, it is certain that he wants to make him unlucky.
