Chapter 165: Jia Xu's letter
Li Ru shook his head and said: "Now that Jia Rong occupies Jincheng, it is not appropriate for the lord to fight with the rebels, just guarding Longguan is a great achievement, even if Jia Rong captures Jincheng, the court's reward will not be too much, not even any reward." ”
Li Ru's real purpose is the same as Jia Rong, he wants to maintain a balance and develop his own strength, Li Ru looks farther, and feels that the Han Dynasty will change in the near future, and the most important thing in the troubled times is strength.
Dong Zhuo immediately ordered that the three armies should not move and guard Longguan, so as not to be taken advantage of by the rebels, and the news that Jia Rong had captured Jincheng County spread in Longguan like a wing, and Guo Yan and Hua Xiong were also given great credit to help Jia Rong capture Jincheng, which was enough to give an account to his subordinates.
Let's say that Han Sui led a large army to attack Hanyang County, and Hanyang Taishou asked Dong Zhuo in Longguan for help, Dong Zhuo refused to send troops to rescue on the grounds of lack of strength in the army, and asked Jia Rong who was far away in Jincheng for help, but it was too late.
Hanyang, compared to Jia Rong's Pingxiang is easy to attack a lot, Hanyang is too old-fashioned to defend the city, and the strength of the city is very limited, and finally after half a month, the rebels led by Han Sui came to break through the city, and Han Sui raised the army of 100,000 people, only more than 20,000 people remained, and the strength was greatly reduced.
Jia Rong, Han Sui, and Dong Zhuo remained motionless and maintained a delicate balance.
The wheat is ripe, Jia Rong attaches great importance to this harvest season, and the garrisons in each county have received a military order to help the people harvest grain and cultivate the land, which is what the Xiliang Army has done in Beidi County, and it is natural to do it, but in the eyes of the people in the counties, the weight of the Xiliang Army has increased a lot, and those officials who usually boast of being loyal ministers are not as good as these big-headed soldiers, at least they are doing practical things.
In the past, officials always thought about how to exploit, and there were few good officials who really considered the people, but the actions of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army made the people full of expectations for Jia Rong, the Taishou of Jincheng County, while being grateful.
After half a month of recuperation, Jia Rong's gunshot wound was much better, and at the same time, he also got in touch with Zhang Li and Su Shuang in Beidi County; Zhang Li said that he was preparing to move everything from Lingzhou to Jincheng, and at the same time there were officials from the other four counties, but now Jincheng was obviously heavier in Jia Rong's heart.
Jia Rong was stunned by this result, if Zhang Li made it like this, Beidi County would inevitably cause a short period of hollowness, during which Zhang Li asked Jia Rong that there were many people who hoped to come with the army, in this regard, Jia Rong raised his hands in agreement, and gave the people who came to Jincheng a generous treatment.
Along with the holy decree, there was also a document from the imperial court asking for grain and grass, Jia Rong didn't think about it, and immediately refused, at this time, Jincheng County was in the process of post-war reconstruction, how could there be any surplus grain, I really don't understand what those people in the court thought, Jincheng County had just been recaptured, where did the grain and grass come from to donate to the treasury, in the past, the imperial court allocated money to the border counties, and such a situation is rare.
At this moment, the soldiers came to tell him that someone in front of the Taishou Mansion sent a letter, saying that Jia Rong had to open it himself.
Hearing this, Jia Rong asked the soldiers to lead the way to the door, and the person who came was a very ordinary person, the kind that no one would notice if he was put in the crowd.
"I'm Jia Rong, the Taishou of Jincheng County, I don't know what this brother wants to do with me?" Jia Rong's biggest advantage is that he is good at getting closer to strangers, and what does a brother make this ordinary person feel.
The man bowed to Jia Rong and said excitedly: "Caomin's surname is Li, he is a small businessman, and he was entrusted by a scribe surnamed Jia to hand over this letter to Lord Jia, and it is expected that it is the same sect of Lord Jia. ”
"Surname Jia?" Jia Rong immediately thought that it was Jia Xu, and immediately welcomed the businessman surnamed Li to the mansion.
After sitting down, Jia Rong opened the letter, read it carefully, pondered for a long time, and nodded slowly.
"If you go back and see the man of my clan, say that I have written it down!" Since the businessman said so, Jia Rong didn't want to expose his relationship with Jia Xu.
The merchant surnamed Li nodded and said, "The grass people will definitely convey it." ”
"What kind of business do you have?" Jia Rong remembered that the person in front of him was still a businessman.
The merchant surnamed Li bowed and said: "The grass people are doing business like rouge gouache, and they can barely make ends meet, but recently there has been a war in Hanyang, Jincheng, and the business is becoming more and more difficult." ”
Jia Rong said with a smile: "Jincheng County has settled down, you can rest assured to do business in the city, if you need help, even if you make it clear to the people in the government, they will help you." ”
The businessman surnamed Li bowed gratefully: "Thank you, sir!" "The businessman is at the bottom of this society, and he has always regarded it as the greatest honor to be received by the government, Jia Rong said this to give this small businessman enough face, and let him have more capital to show off after he goes out.
After the businessman surnamed Li left, Jia Rong immediately came to the small yellow gate where the decree was delivered, the little yellow door ate and drank well all day long, and there were special people to accompany him, full of red light, Jia Rong understood the weight of the little yellow door, said that it was the decree, but in fact it was the most important eyeliner of the Han Emperor, it seemed that the little yellow door went to eat wherever he went, did he go back to the Han Emperor and not ask, then the performance of officials from all over the country had to pass through the mouth of the small yellow door to convey to the Han Emperor, at that time, as long as the little yellow door said a few good words, it was stronger than anything, After all, Emperor Han could only read the recital every day to understand the situation of the ministers, and he still attached great importance to what Huangmen saw with his own eyes.
"How is Lord Fan living in Jincheng County recently?" Jia Rong asked kindly.
Xiao Huangmen pursed his mouth and said, "It's okay, it's just that the food is not as good as in the capital." ”
Resisting the urge to go up and kick him, Jia Rong smiled and said: "The barren land is not as prosperous as the Jingshi, please forgive me for the neglect!" ”
Xiao Huangmen smiled: "Lord Jia has seen the outside. ”
Jia Rong clapped his hands, and a soldier brought up a small box.
There is a neat gold in the box, after the small yellow door is opened, he feels that he was stunned, so much money, he is still the first time to see it, not to mention that it is a neat and neat box, giving people a great visual conflict, in fact, there is not much such a small box, but the small yellow door usually does not have much oil and water, the first time he went out to preach the holy decree, the little yellow door is the lowest position in the palace, it is equivalent to the slave of the big family, and it is also the luck of this little yellow door, which was sent to pass the decree.
Looking at the greed in Xiao Huangmen's eyes, Jia Rong smiled and said: "Lord Fan take it, let Lord Fan work all the way from Jingshi to Jincheng, this money should be regarded as a little drink money, and please accept it with a smile." ”
Xiao Huangmen closed the box directly and hugged it in his arms, and said, "After the miscellaneous family goes back, they will definitely say a lot of good words for the adults in front of the saint." ”
Jia Rong nodded with satisfaction, what he wanted was Xiao Huangmen's words.
"After Lord Fan went back, he told the saint that now that Jincheng County has experienced war at the beginning and the people's livelihood is withering, even then I will work hard to prepare grain and grass, please rest assured, I will repair a book tomorrow and take it away by Lord Fan."
"Master Jia, don't worry, your words will be brought to the miscellaneous family as they are, and Lord Jia's loyal miscellaneous family will definitely report to the saint according to the truth." Xiao Huangmen swore and said.
After Xiao Huangmen left, Jia Rong put away Fang Cai's warm face, as expected, the letter was really written by Jia Xu, the content was very clear, let yourself secretly develop your strength, don't go against the court again, even if the court asks too much, you must temporarily agree to it, try to make the court feel at ease with yourself, and now the big man has shown a dying old scene, the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and the big man in front of him is not something that anyone can deal with.
Jia Xu also guessed that Emperor Han might embarrass Jia Rong in some ways, so he risked revealing his identity and wrote a letter to dissuade him.
Jia Rong attached great importance to Jia Xu's words, and instantly understood that Emperor Han Weishenme would let Xiaohuangmen pass a message to let him prepare grain and grass, the reason was that Emperor Han wanted to test his loyalty, Jia Rong was ashamed, this little trick didn't even see it, and he almost missed the big thing.
This year, the wind and rain are smooth, and many places in Dahan have very good harvests, which also allows the war-torn Dahan to breathe, and the harvest in Jincheng County is also very good.
He has been in contact with Mi Zhu, and in the near future, Mi Zhu will escort a batch of grain to come.
Mi Zhu has helped himself a lot, although he is suspected of coveting the war horses of the Xiliang Army, but after all, he has always been unswervingly helping himself during the war, part of the reason may be that Mi Wei is also in the Xiliang Army, Jia Rong plans to give Mi Zhu a batch of soap, so that he can also get a little profit, not only Mi Zhu, but also the merchants of the entire Han Dynasty can also get a little profit, and they can't play monopoly, and take proper care of the feelings of other businessmen, but Jin Ai Rong is not so haode mind, let the profits to other businessmen, but also let Jincheng get benefits.
Not long after the subjugation of Jincheng County, Jia Rong posted a notice again, building a craftsman workshop in Jincheng, and a blacksmith in Lingzhou could immediately put into normal work after coming over, so a period of time did not delay the business of Xianlian Pavilion, is it, each Xianlian Pavilion uses completely the previous inventory, and when the Lingzhou Craftsman Workshop was ready to move, the news was informed to the Xianlian Pavilion in various places.
Each craftsman is twenty yuan a day, and the people who help are ten yuan, and a meal at noon is from the Taishou Mansion, and the notice is posted, but it does not achieve much effect, mainly because Jia Rong, the Taishou, has just come, and the people are not familiar with him, and the previous officials issued too many blank checks, and it is not very effective when they come to Jia Rong.
In desperation, Jia Rong had no choice but to send some soldiers to help build a new craftsman's workshop.
Jia Rong's daily wages would be settled immediately, and gradually, more and more people joined the construction of the craftsman's workshop, so that the people from the surrounding counties came tirelessly, remembering that these people were still eager for low wages.
