Chapter 169: Good Boy
Thank you book friends for the February 6th monthly pass and support!
Mrs. Diexiang said that the emperor wanted to appoint Jiang Long to serve in the local government, whether it was true or not, it should be right to prepare in advance.
Not long after Jiang Long returned to the printing house, Chai Shirong came over to interrogate him about his experience in the Muwu Marquis Mansion, and learned that he couldn't kiss Mrs. Diexiang's Fang Ze, he couldn't help but shake his head and regret it, and after dealing with it, Jiang Long began to explain some things.
Chai Shirong just felt that something was wrong when he listened to it, and asked curiously.
"You'll find out in a while." Because he was not sure, Jiang Long did not explain.
The business of the printing house is now on the right track, and it is very prosperous, so that there is not much to explain, and then Jiang Long is riding back to the farm.
It's another confession.
Among them, Jiang Long is most worried about the embroidery and puppet business.
At present, this business is more profitable than the printing house, because it is a shop that the study steward sent to other places by the Chengguo Mansion helped buy it, so it secretly borrowed the prestige of the Chengguo Mansion, so no one dared to come to the door to find trouble, whether it was in the capital or in the field.
However, if Jiang Long left the capital, he would be a little uneasy.
Once you become an official in the local area, you are entangled in official affairs, and officials are not allowed to leave their places of office casually, so even if they learn that they are in trouble in business, they will be weak and will not have enough time and energy to find a way to solve it.
If it's in a remote area, the information can be very poor.
So you have to find a good assistant.
The knitting and embroidery workshop on the farm side is dominated by jade hairpins and vases.
Because he didn't want to have a round house with these girls around him for the time being, Jiang Long didn't plan to take the jade hairpin and the treasure bottle to take up his post in other places.
And the shop outside...... Jiang Long thought about it, but there was really no haode candidate around him.
Now to recruit, it is too late, loyalty is not guaranteed.
How dare you use it to manage so many stores and handle a large amount of money, and you can't even guarantee loyalty?
In the end, Jiang Long decided to go back to the house to ask Mrs. Jing for help.
The Jingfu family has a big business, and it has been inherited for hundreds of years from the founding of the Great Qi to the present, so it should be no problem to find a helper who can stand alone and take care of these shops.
The affairs of the farm were properly explained, and Jiang Long took Lin Ya back to Jingfu.
After seeing Mrs. Jing and chatting for a while, Jiang Long asked the maids who were waiting by his side to step down.
"Grandma, my grandson just learned the news that the emperor intends to appoint my grandson to serve in the local government." The girls walked out of the room and closed the door, and Jiang Long just went straight to the point.
Mrs. Jing was a little surprised, "Really? Where did you get the news? ”
"It was Muwuhou's wife, Mrs. Diexiang, who told her grandson." Jiang Long said and glanced at Lin Ya, who was sitting quietly on the side.
Lin Ya lowered her head, and her little hand tightened the silk handkerchief in her hand.
"Is that her?" Mrs. Jing has also heard of Mrs. Diexiang's name, "At that time, Muwuhou was also a generation of young heroes in the capital, but his luck was not good, his life was not good, he was assassinated, and he fell halfway, and then this Bian Die began to wander among many big people in the capital.
The Muwu Marquis Mansion has not been swallowed up to this day, and she has a lot of credit. ”
Mrs. Jing's evaluation of Mrs. Diexiang is relatively fair, and she persuaded: "But she has seen too many people's warmth and coldness, and has experienced the heat and coldness of the world, it is inevitable that she will be scheming, and even her heart is not right, you should pay more attention to her contact." ”
"My grandson knows."
Jiang Long continued: "She said that the emperor suspected that I secretly ordered someone to kill King Huai, so he would rather kill the wrong person than let it go, so he sent his grandson to the local office, so it was easy to start." ”
"What do you have to do with King Huai?" Old Madam Jing just frowned, but she didn't show any nervous and frightened looks.
When Lin Ya heard this, her heart jumped.
She remembered the last time she was in Xinglin, King Huai wanted to rob her to go to the palace.
"The first time the grandson was invited by Mrs. Diexiang, to the Muwu Marquis Mansion as a guest, King Xiang and King Huai happened to rush over, King Huai was lustful, seemed to have the intention of occupying Mrs. Diexiang, so he challenged his grandson, grandson and he had a few words, afterwards King Huai sent someone to secretly keep an eye on his grandson's whereabouts, as if he wanted to get rid of his grandson."
Jiang Long recounted, "It was because King Huai sent someone to secretly stare at his grandson, and King Huai was very cruel and tyrannical, always acted rampantly, never showed mercy to people who didn't like him, and killed them all, so the emperor wondered if his grandson was trying to protect himself, so he sent someone to assassinate King Huai." ”
When Lin Ya heard this, her nervous palms sweated.
If the emperor wants to attack Jiang Long, how can Jiang Long have a way to live?
"Woe to the water!" Old Madam Jing sighed.
Lin Ya's heart and liver suddenly raised, and I don't know if Jiang Long will mention what happened in the apricot forest last time.
If you talk about it, then isn't she also like Mrs. Diexiang, a disaster?
"So, are you afraid?" Old Madam Jing suddenly straightened her face and looked at Jiang Long.
Jiang Long chuckled, his face was full of confidence, "If you are afraid, your grandson will ......" After saying this, Jiang Long's voice paused before he continued to speak: "Grandson will not send someone to assassinate King Huai!" ”
When the voice landed, Lin Ya's eyes widened instantly, and she exclaimed.
The mastermind of the assassination of King Huai is really Jiang Long?
Old Madam Jing was also obviously taken aback, and looked Jiang Long up and down carefully.
In the end, look up to the sky and smile!
"Good, good!" Three compliments in a row.
"Knowing that the other party wants to get rid of you, but not daring to do it in advance, that's cowardice and stupidity!"
Mrs. Jing's life experience is very bumpy, when she was ordered to marry into Jingfu, she was not liked by the old marquis Jing, if you want to control Jingfu in your hands, you have to use some iron-blooded means, and it is precisely because of this that she is very bold and strong!
In the past, Jing Jianglong, Mrs. Jing doted, because Jing Jianglong was her only grandson, and she had a constant blood and family relationship.
And Jiang Long, who has a current personality, has been recognized and praised by Mrs. Jing.
"He is worthy of being a good man of the Jing family!"
Hearing Mrs. Jing's praise, Lin Ya's head was confused, Jiang Long caused such a big mess, why didn't he teach a lesson, but kept boasting?
You must know that the emperor is already planning to attack Jiang Long!
And it's better to kill mistakes than let them go.
Being so targeted by the emperor, how many days can you live?
As if sensing Lin Ya's nervousness, Mrs. Jing reached out and held Lin Ya's white and tender right hand in her palm and patted it gently.
Although the emperor sits on the country, and nominally the whole world is his, but the real situation is not so simple.
When the old Marquis Jing was still alive, she knew that the Jing Mansion and the emperor did not deal with each other.
Although the emperor and the old marquis Jing grew up together, the two fought openly and secretly for decades.
Isn't the Jing family still standing in Ningyuan County?
Jiang Long did not avoid Lin Ya, indicating that he already regarded Lin Ya as his own person, and Mrs. Jing was also happy to see it.
"As long as you are smart enough, calm down in trouble, don't act recklessly, and be caught openly, the emperor is not so terrible." Mrs. Jing imparts experience.
Jiang Long listened carefully.
Great Qi has been inherited for hundreds of years, and it has long passed the period of strength, and there are many disadvantages at present, although it is still prosperous on the surface, but the real situation in the secret is no longer so optimistic.
Many first-class big families have become local emperors in the location of the clan, and they have deceived their superiors and subordinates, and even the emperor can't intervene.
Listening to Mrs. Jing's explanation of today's situation, Jiang Long remembered his previous life.
Isn't it the same during the period of Chinese feudal society?
Which dynasty has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it is not the traitorous ministers who control the government, corrupt officials and evil officials are rampant, and the regime is corrupt and decaying?
In later generations, many people studied history and thought about how to change and save the imperial court that was about to be overthrown.
But the result is that the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable.
Jiang Long felt that many times he could not necessarily find the answer by studying and speculating from the details.
Because the reasons for the overthrow of any regime are complex.
zuihou, Jiang Long thinks it is most appropriate to describe it in four words.
That is, the gas is exhausted!
The world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time, all of which are prosperous and declining, and eventually go to extinction.
Mrs. Jing knew a lot, this talk was a long time, Lin Ya listened to it, and as time passed, she gradually calmed down.
Some things are very practical, Jiang Long remembered them in his heart.
Speaking of zuihou, Mrs. Jing suddenly said: "When King Huai encountered the assassination, a thunderous explosion shook the capital, that explosive, but you made it?" ”
"Yes." Jiang Long nodded affirmatively.
"Can you make it again?" Mrs. Jing's expression was inevitably a little excited.
"Hmm."
"Good!" Mrs. Jing clapped her hands, and then asked, "Then how powerful can it be?" ”
"The heavier the portion, the more powerful."
Jiang Long said, and added, "This thing can definitely easily blast open the city gate, and it has a miraculous effect when attacking the city." ”
Old Madam Jing was thrilled when she heard this.
"However, there are still restrictions on its use, and it is difficult for the other party to get close to them if they have precautions."
Today's bows and crossbows have an extremely long range, and arrows can easily fly a hundred paces.
Some powerful hard bows can even shoot hundreds of steps.
"There are restrictions on the use of the obviously, but if you want to assassinate anyone, it is a kill and a quasi!" Old Madam Jing stood up and walked around the hall, and ordered, "Before you leave the capital, make more of them, and grandma may be able to use them here." ”
"Yes." Jiang Long nodded, "The method of use is very simple, just use the spark to ignite." ”
Lin Ya said hurriedly at this time: "Husband can also carry some with him and use them to save his life in a crisis." ”
"That's not going to work." Jiang Long chuckled and shook his head, seeing that Lin Ya still hadn't figured it out, he explained: "King Huai was assassinated by this thing, if he dared to use it openly for his husband, wouldn't he openly show that he was the mastermind behind the scenes?" ”
Lin Ya reacted and patted her head in annoyance.
"If you care, it's messy." Jiang Long hurriedly stretched out his hand to block it, and gently pinched Lin Ya's white and tender soft wattle.
Lin Ya didn't struggle to withdraw her hand, and quickly glanced in the direction of Old Madam Jing, only to see that Old Madam Jing was looking at her, and her pretty face turned into a red cloth at once.
After chatting for a while, Jiang Long mentioned business matters and wanted to borrow someone to take care of the embroidery puppet business on his behalf.
Mrs. Jing was naturally happy.
It's easy to find the right person.
And make it clear what kind of people will be needed in what kind of place in the future, just ask.
"You haven't been an official, you're unfamiliar with the laws of Daqi, you're not familiar with it, grandma has to find someone to teach you."
Jiang Long nodded in response.
It's really not good to be unfamiliar with the laws of Daqi, otherwise if you make a mistake, you will be caught and attacked.
