Chapter 0303: The Divine Decree of Lack of Virtue
Another piece of news brought by Baochai is that Luo Hanlin wants to divide the alliance of the four major families of King Jia and Xue Shi through marriage. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Now, Jia Min must pay attention to this issue. If Luo Hanlin's conspiracy is allowed to succeed, the damage to the four major families will definitely be revealed in the near future.
For this Luo Hanlin, Jia Min has a headache now.
One is that he is now far away in Bukui, and he has no control over the affairs of the imperial capital. Due to the distance, once something happens, it is too late to take any remedial measures.
The second is that this Luo family has relatively strong strength. In addition to Luo Qihua, who ranks second among the ministers of military aircraft, it is also because of the large number of protΓ©gΓ©s cultivated by the Luo family through the Deer Cave Academy, which is a very strong force.
The third is that he has not yet found the obvious weakness of the Luo family, and he has no way to start.
However, there are still things that can be done in front of you.
At present, the remaining girls in the house are Daiyu, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, and Shi Xiangyun, who often goes to Jiafu.
Daiyu is prepared for Baoyu, and she is the granddaughter of the old lady, even if someone proposes marriage, it is estimated that she will not be able to pass the old lady's pass. So, Daiyu doesn't have to worry.
Tanchun has a pungent personality, and he also has his own opinions, and he will marry far away in the future. It doesn't seem to be her turn at the moment.
Xichun is still young, and when it is not time to talk about marriage, there is no need to worry.
If there is a problem, I am afraid it will be on Yingchun and Shi Xiangyun. The two have reached the age of marriage, and in the original book of Red Mansions, their marriage is very unsatisfactory.
Shi Xiangyun married Wei Ruolan, but, from now on, Wei Ruolan is alive and well, her health is also very good, and she has no illness, it seems that Wei Ruolan's early death has changed.
Whether it is family background or character, Shi Xiangyun's marriage to Wei Ruolan is a relatively happy result. Jia Min decided to talk to Wei Ruolan and complete this matter as soon as possible.
The rest is Yingchun, and the current top priority is to prevent Yingchun from marrying Sun Yaozu.
Jia Lian came from Baochai, and Baochai had already told him everything that had happened.
"This treasure girl is really brave and resourceful, and she is also very affectionate to the fourth brother Min."
Jia Lian not only praised.
Baochai's behavior really made him feel very admired.
"Luo Hanlin's matter, Miss Bao told you?"
"Having said that, alas, this Luo Hanlin is really too much, and he actually did such a bad thing."
"I've been thinking about this matter just now, and the one I'm most worried about is the second girl. That's why I came to you to discuss it. β
So, Jia Min told Jia Lian his analysis.
Yingchun is Jia Lian's younger sister, so she should naturally ventilate with Jia Lian.
"That Luo Hanlin has dealings with Niu Jizong, Sun Yaozu and others. Niu Jizong and the other four families have a disagreement with us, and it is estimated that they will not mention marriage, and the most likely one is Sun Yaozu. β
Jia Min naturally wouldn't say that Yingchun was originally married to Sun Yaozu, but now it doesn't make sense to say this, and no one will believe it.
As for whether Sun Yaozu has a relationship with Luo Hanlin, he actually doesn't know, but this probability is there. Besides, in this way, Jia Lian can't verify it, so he will basically take it seriously.
"That Sun Yaozu, I also heard that he has a violent temperament, and if he doesn't agree with him, he is willing to commit violence, and he is addicted to gambling. What I mean, if the Sun family proposes marriage, you must be very cautious, so as not to harm the second girl's life in the future. β
"Of course, the second girl is going to go out after all, but she has to review the family who is going to marry."
"I think the same thing, and tonight I will repair the book and tell my father and mother. Tell them to be cautious. If the Sun family proposed, they would directly refuse. β
After checking with Jia Lian, he found Wei Ruolan again.
Wei Ruolan also knows a little about the girls in Jiafu, and she has also heard of Shi Xiangyun. After hearing what Jia Min said, he was naturally overjoyed, and happily went back to write a letter to his family, asking him to propose marriage.
In the evening, Jia Min set up a banquet for Zhao Bancheng and others, and the senior officers of the government corps and Yang Lin and other officials attended together, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
It was almost ten o'clock in the evening, Jia Min sneaked into Shen Bingyi's room, and the two enjoyed the joy of fish and water, lingering all night.
Early the next morning, Jia Min went directly to Bukui Street, walked around, and after eating outside, he pretended to finish the inspection outside and returned to the barracks.
After returning, he convened a meeting with Feng Ziying, Yang Lin, and Zhao Bancheng to study the construction of the city wall.
It's August, and winter is still a few months away, so there's a lot of work to be done in the early preparations, so it's important to start early.
Although the winters in Bukui are frozen, building the walls is different from building ordinary houses. Its main amount of work is earthworks, so it can be constructed even in winter.
There was a debate about the size of the city walls at the meeting. Yang Lin and others advocated that the original circumference of 12 li should be built, and Jia Min suddenly doubled this standard and built according to the circumference of 24 li.
Although others raised doubts, under Jia Min's firm advocacy, they still adopted his opinion and decided to build a twenty-four-mile-long city wall.
Jia Min's real idea was to build a forty-eight-mile city wall. However, this idea is too amazing to mention for the time being.
Next, the preliminary work such as budgeting, site survey, preparation of construction plan, and arrangement of construction period will be carried out separately.
The construction of the city walls required a large amount of labor. In winter, it is the agricultural slack season, and a part of the displaced people can be sent out to participate in the construction of the city wall. However, these people were still not enough, so in the end, it was decided that Zhao Bancheng and the others would go back to recruit the displaced people to Bukui.
When the drought occurred in Henan this year, many displaced people were already displaced in all directions, and they were recruited, which not only solved the problem of labor, but also resettled the displaced people. In the future, after the completion of the city wall, there is hope that these people will stay in Bukui's house and settle down, so as to enrich the population of Bukui.
Displaced people do not need to be followed.
An exile is a prisoner who has been exiled for committing a crime. Displaced people are migrants who are forced to leave their homeland for some reason and move around, and they are not prisoners.
The main reasons for the emergence of displaced people are floods, droughts, famines, wars, land annexation, heavy taxes, etc., and they have lost their land, houses, livestock, farm tools and other property, and it is difficult for them to survive in their hometowns, so they have to migrate to other places.
In all dynasties, the exile was a headache for the imperial court.
First of all, the displacement of people will cause a large number of deaths, which will reduce the country's population, shortage of soldiers, reduce tax sources, empty treasury, and weaken national power.
Second, displacement will have a serious impact on social order. In the process of migration, displaced people will clash with the locals in order to compete for various resources.
As the poorest of the low, in order to survive, they often take risks, killing, robbing, stealing, and even forming gangs to rebel.
Therefore, if the livelihood and resettlement problems of some displaced people can be solved through the construction of the city wall, it will also be a major contribution to the imperial court.
Before the 14th day of August in the year of Ding Chou, the squire of the criminal department and the commander of the Ministry of Punishment were ordered to inspect Bu Kuiqin and sent Jiang Ming to arrive at the city gate of Bu Kuinan.
Jia Min, the chief of staff of the Bu Kui Du Division, Feng Ziying, the chief of staff of the Fu Corps, Chen Yejun, Wei Ruolan and other senior officers of the Fu Corps, Yang Lin, the official of the Yamen of the Du Si, and other officials were waiting at the South City Gate to greet them.
The convoy arrived at the city gate, and Jia Min and the others hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
Jiang Ming dismounted, took square steps, stopped first, and waited for Jia Min and the others to arrive.
After the ceremony, the atmosphere relaxed.
"Lord Qincha has worked hard all the way, so please move into the city."
"Huaiyuan, your city wall is very fresh, it's the first time I've seen such a city wall."
Jiang Shilang and Jia Min are also acquaintances, and when they talk, they are casual.
"Lord Qincha, I can't hide it, it's the first time I've seen such a city wall. When I first saw it, I almost cried. β
"Haha, Huaiyuan is polite, if you say you will cry, I don't believe it."
"However, Lord Qincha came just in time, and the lower officials were preparing to build the city wall. If you come again next year, the walls will be repaired. β
"Oh? The walls are going to be repaired so soon? It's a huge undertaking. β
"I'll talk to you in detail in the future, and I'll ask you for more advice."
"Huaiyuan does things, I don't dare to give advice. You have reached Bukui in such a short time, and not a single case of death or escape from the five hundred people on the way, at first, even I did not believe it. How did you do that? β
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just to be kind to them, explain the reason to them, plus I have a lot of people, and the guards are tighter."
Huaiyuan's words are an understatement, but it is difficult to do. You're still the first in all these years. Even the emperor was very happy. β
"The lower officials don't dare to take credit, but they just do things for the emperor wholeheartedly."
"Huaiyuan, although we are acquaintances, but this official is on an errand this time, inspecting the affairs of Bu Kuiliu, when the time comes, it is inevitable that he will have to tell the emperor the truth, if there is anything offended, it will be a helpless move."
"Lord Qincha should be like this, no matter what, the lower officials will not dare to complain. However, in everything that the lower officials do, they are not afraid of inspections, although Lord Qincha is self-sufficient, if he needs my cooperation, he will not do it. β
"Okay, you should be frank and open, this is the fundamental way to be an official. Okay, Huaiyuan, the good things are all done, and now it's time to convey the emperor's message. β
Although the emperor's decree is not a formal decree, it has the same effect as a written decree.
So Jia Min and the others knelt on the ground and set up a posture to receive orders.
Jiang Shilang looked at the Bu Kui officials who were kneeling on the ground, and his mood couldn't help but be a little complicated.
Alas, this edict is probably the first case in our dynasty.
"Bu Kui Du Si Jia Min, who became famous at a young age, has an undetermined temperament, and is in a high position. should be determined to be in the four seas, it is not appropriate to linger on the private affairs of children, and Jia Min is not allowed to marry before he is twenty years old. β
At this moment, the person kneeling on the ground was stunned.
Is this a divine decree? How could there be such a decree? How could the emperor issue such a holy decree? Impossible, right?
The marriage of a man and a woman is a great unification of humanity, and even God will not prohibit it. This decree is a bit lacking in virtue, isn't it?
By the way, it must be a false decree.
