Chapter 234: Marquis Jinghai
Although Niu Ben, Wen Bo and Qin Feng's painting style is not right, and their temperaments are not very compatible, they rarely have the same opinions.
But when talking about Jinghai Hou Shi Shilun with Jia Huan, the three of them still gave a thumbs up:
"Incorruptible, square!"
As the saying goes, the mountains eat the mountains, and the sea eats the sea.
And the martial arts generals who are in charge of the army naturally rely on the army in their hands to eat.
Except for some unproductive "generals" who made their fortunes by drinking the blood of soldiers and eating empty salaries, most of the real generals made their fortunes on war spoils.
It's just that some people are soft-hearted and thin-skinned, so the spoils of war are divided in half with the imperial court.
And the darker ones are with the court six. Four, seven, three, eighty-two......
It is not for nothing that they are all greedy.
Anyway, they are all fighting for the wealth and even lives of the whole family, and they are robbing the enemy country, so why should they be distributed to the imperial court......
Don't underestimate this kind of harvest, the loss of soldiers' ordnance belongs to the state, and the cost of food and salary also belongs to the state, but the harvest and merit belong to the general.
As for whether there is a war?
This is a joke, guarding the territory of Great Qin, except for the vassals, there are almost all enemy countries around.
As long as you have the courage, you can grab it casually......
Of course, the premise is that the battle must be won.
As long as the battle is won, no matter whether it is famous or not before the war, it will be regarded as a war achievement in the end. The seal of the seal, the reward of the reward.
But if he loses, then no matter how he loses, no matter who provokes first, the lord will be unlucky.
Although there are not many exterminants, it is common to raid their families and exile......
Getting back to the point, why is it said that Shi Shilun is the first upright nobleman of Great Qin?
Because he is obviously guarding a big fat shortage. But the days were very hard.
The town guards the southern sea route, and the sea area is 3,000 miles along the line. Expand 500 miles outward, from Jiaozhi to Quanzhou. It's all his territory.
In addition to the maritime merchants in the past, there are countless pirates large and small.
Even if you can't look at the net worth of pirates, there are many maritime merchants in the past.
But if Shi Shilun is a little ruthless and greedy, he just casually sends some sea flags to those sea ships to keep them safe and collects some "tax money", and he can live a rich life.
But in Shi Shilun's family, except for the money that he had to spend to practice martial arts and buy ginseng in order to protect the lintel, there really wasn't much money left, just look at his mansion to know.
If such a position is changed, such as Zhenhai Hou Li Han. Just look at the Zhenhai Hou Mansion to know what kind of life the Li family is doing......
Last month, Mrs. Zhenhai Hou Mansion passed away, and Jia Huan, as the actual head of the Rongning Second Mansion, had to attend.
Rao is that he is used to seeing rich mansions, but after going to Zhenhai Hou Mansion, he is still overwhelmed by its luxury.
Jia Huan came to Jinghaihou Mansion today, and he was also suppressed, and he was suppressed by the ancient simplicity of Jinghaihou Mansion.
But then Jia Huan vaguely seemed to understand something in his heart......
Since the two generations of Rong Guogong, there is no third person in the Great Qin military who can take charge of the military power alone with the prestige of one person.
The Emperor seems to be trying his best to prevent this from happening.
Like Qin Feng and Niu Ben and others complained. Over the years, the Military Aircraft Pavilion has been mixing sand into the legions controlled by their family, and this kind of thing is actually carried out with the acquiescence of the Emperor Taishang.
If not, who would dare to do this?
The same is true of the navy, which is now divided between two families with very different family styles.
Especially. Shi Shilun is upright, he has never been afraid of power, and he can't rub sand in his eyes. He hated the situation in the Zhenhai Hou Mansion......
With such two generals in charge of the increasingly powerful navy, whether it is the military aircraft pavilion or the people above it. will be much more relieved.
After thinking through this, Jia Huan's eyes narrowed slightly. This kind of checks and balances may not be a good thing for him, but it is not necessarily a bad thing for the whole country, as long as the superior can control the scale and do not evolve into large-scale party disputes, this is the way to long-term peace and stability of the country.
However, these are still too far away for him to intervene.
Therefore, Jia Huan let go of his worries and followed an old man in simple gray clothes who greeted him at the door into the Hou Mansion with a smile on his face.
Behind him, the Han family brothers followed, and Li Wanji and others dragged the carriage and horse loaded with gifts into the door.
Although it is frugal, after all, it is the Hou Mansion of the Imperial Gift, and the scale that it should have is still there.
A few old servants and women appeared sporadically, and after leading Li Wanji and the others away, someone came to take the Han brothers down to drink tea, but was stopped by Jia Huan, and he said to the old housekeeper beside him who was slightly surprised: "Old housekeeper, these three are the elder brothers, the three sons of the Dingjun Uncle's Mansion, and they came to visit the Marquis of Jinghai together today." ”
When the old housekeeper heard this, the old eyes glanced at the light blue house generals on the three of them with slight surprise, but he didn't say anything, just nodded and continued to lead the way.
The main hall of the Marquis of Jinghai Mansion is very large and empty.
On the front wall of the hall, what is hung is not the murals that ordinary rich and noble families often hang to imply wealth and prosperity, nor are they the calligraphy and paintings of celebrities hanging in the homes of literati and scholars, but a pair of sea charts......
There are no tea and fruit snacks for guests in the hall, just two rows of rough wooden chairs, still unpainted......
Jia Huan suddenly hesitated in his heart, the family is simple like this, what should the ship look like?
He doesn't care about himself, he has been practicing martial arts for so many years, what hardships have he not suffered?
But what about Lin Daiyu?
If she was allowed to sleep on a hard wooden bed for one night, the next day the girl would cry to death?
"Brother Huan'er ......"
Han Rang quietly pulled Raja Huan's sleeve and "woke up" Jia Huan in "contemplation", after Jia Huan "woke up", he saw Shi Shilun in the hall looking at him with a frown, an ugly face, and a pair of "strange" eyes that were surprisingly clear.
"Little nephew Jia Huan, I have seen Uncle Shi. It was the little nephew who was rude before, but Uncle Shi, the little nephew really didn't expect that the dignified Jinghai Marquis Mansion would actually ...... It's going to be ......."
Jia Huan bowed and saluted, and then he didn't know how to phrase it.
Although the Marquis of Jinghai Mansion is one of the few people in the Great Qin military who is not from the old subordinates of Rongguo, Shi Shilun greatly admires the second generation of Rongguo Gong and regards him as a spiritual idol......
So yesterday after the Great Pilgrimage meeting. Niu Jizong introduced Jia Huan to see Shi Shilun, and just smiled and asked Jia Huan to call him uncle. Shi Shilun, who has always hated the DPRK and China's faction and selfishness, actually responded in a rare way.
After hearing Jia Huan's name at this moment. Shi Shilun's ugly face rarely smiled.
Why do you say he's ugly?
Because Shi Shilun has a bald head, a numb face, slanted eyes, crooked cheeks, and he is also a looped leg......
However, even if he is so ugly, it makes people think that he is majestic and extraordinary, and he is upright.
This is not Jia Huan's feeling alone, even Qin Feng and Niu Ben said this, and it is said that everyone who has seen him has this feeling.
Even the Emperor Taishang once said that Shi Shilun was an old Zhong Kui who caught all the evils in the South China Sea for the imperial court.
He was also praised as the first Qing official of the dynasty.
Being able to see a smile on such a person's face is really not something that ordinary people can encounter.
Shi Shilun looked at Jia Huan. With a slight smile on his face, his voice was slightly sharp, but not harsh, but it could pierce people's hearts......
He said: "Not everyone has such a pottery method as you, and besides, don't you also use the money you earn on the descendants of the old Rongguo department?" Not indulging in pleasure is what I am most satisfied with you. ”
Jia Huan was embarrassed to be praised for the first time, and quickly changed the topic: "Uncle Shi." These three elder brothers are the sons of Uncle Han's family in the Dingjun Mansion. ”
Shi Shilun looked at the three of them lightly, nodded slightly, and said: "They are all good sons who know loyalty and righteousness, follow Brother Huan'er well, and the rise of Dingjun Bofu is only a matter of time." ”
The three of Han Da heard this. Qi Qi bowed down and thanked: "Thank you for your teachings." ”
Shi Shilun nodded, then looked at Jia Huan and went straight to the point, and said, "I don't have any floating wealth at home. The only thing that counts everyone as a fool is the lucky boat parked on the Ba River. If someone asks me to borrow it, I will never borrow it. But since you are a descendant of Rongguo. If you're a good boy who knows how to make progress, I'll lend you it.
But I'm going to make it clear to you in advance. Uncle has limited money, and he doesn't have your ability to make money, so there are no valuable furniture on the ship.
If you want to live more comfortably, you can buy some clothes on your own, and then remove them when you come back.
There are three floors in the ship, and because the third floor used to be the place where my mother lived, a soft bed and several pieces of furniture were specially placed.
If you have a female dependent, you can be placed on the third floor, if not, don't go up. ”
When Jia Huan heard this, he was a little entangled: "I don't want it to be the former residence of Mrs. Tai, and it is reasonable to say that I, as a junior, should not be disrespectful and arrogant, but I ...... Lin Ruhai's daughter, that is, the cousin of the little nephew, will also go south to Yangzhou with the little nephew to serve the elder. My cousin's body is too weak, so I ......"
Shi Shilun waved his hand and said: "In this case, she can go up to the third floor, what are you messing about?" Whether you are a warrior or a general, decisiveness and ability should be the top priority, and you need to keep in mind. ”
Jia Huan nodded heavily and said, "My nephew has written it down." After that, he hesitated a little, but when he looked at Shi Shilun's wrinkled ugly face, Jia Huan hurriedly explained: "Uncle, that's the case, because my nephew is going to go far away, and I'm afraid I won't be able to come back before the year." Therefore, I came today and brought the New Year's Festival. But uncle, these rituals are all produced by the little nephew Zhuangzi himself, not ......"
Shi Shilun had a smile on his face and said, "What are you doing with so many explanations?" Although the family style of the Marquis of Jinghai is strict, his uncle is not a pedantic person who does not know how to change. Moreover, you don't have a public office, and you don't have any bad deeds, and your money is all earned innocently, and if you give me a gift, will I not accept it? Tell me, what did you come up with? ”
Jia Huan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just some transparent glass, which is not worse than what is installed in the palace, and I specially sent two cars to my uncle's family." ”
When Shi Shilun heard this, the smile on his face froze, he had lived in the south for a long time, and naturally he would not know what price a glass was sold for in Quanzhou and other places in Guangdong, so he didn't believe his ears, looked at Jia Huan and asked again, "What did you say?" ”
Jia Huan smiled and said: "The glass, it's the ...... installed on the window of the Hall of Light."
Shi Shilun gasped......
