Chapter 782: Get Ready (2-in-1)
Runzhou, Du Jinning also knew that he would enter Beijing soon, and he would not return to Runzhou. It is quite possible that her life will change forever, and she will never have the opportunity to wear men's clothes and do what men do.
Therefore, before entering Beijing, she should be fully prepared.
She wrote a letter and asked Yao Shuqi to bring it to Qin Liu, and secretly arranged everything; After thinking about it, she decided to reveal one or two to Yao Shuqi, so that before the situation came, she would ensure that this group of subordinates of the Du family would not be in chaos and could smoothly transition this period.
She is still a modern person in her bones, and she never treats her subordinates badly. Now that this is the case, she is also fully considerate of the people.
When the Chen family left, they only brought with them the subordinates cultivated by Qin Liu, who Du Jinning later "bought" in, and none of the original Du family's subordinates were taken away.
For this matter, Tao's mother and the maid originally called by the Chen family still complained. But everything was arranged by Du Jinning, although Du Jinning was usually kind to them, it was not easy to approach, and the order was forbidden, and he was very dignified at home. As long as she speaks, Chen will never go against this son. Therefore, even if Mother Tao and others have grievances in their hearts, they dare not show it.
But they didn't know that Du Jinning's arrangement was entirely for their good.
If they follow Chan south, they will be held accountable by the government if Chan disappears. Even if there is no accountability, life will be difficult for people with few life skills to be left outside. Therefore, Du Jinning kept them in the mansion, in fact, to avoid their suffering from being held accountable by the government and being exiled from their homeland.
In the same way, Du Jinning will not bring Yao Shuqi, Wang Fulai and others to Beijing this time.
According to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, even if the master commits a crime of beheading, as long as the subordinate is not an accomplice, he will not be punished, but will only be sold. At the beginning, Tao's mother and Old Man Zhu and others were the original owners who committed crimes and were sold. Therefore, even if Du Jinning's east window incident happens, it will not affect the people. They will just wait for the government to fall.
Master and servant, Du Jinning thought very carefully for them.
If she is not punished and just disappears, then the Du family will remain the same, and the monthly money will be distributed by Qi Muyuan, waiting for her to change back into women's clothes and return; If her subordinates are sold and the subordinates are sold, Qi Muyuan will find someone to buy them all and then settle them well. or give them slaves, and give them freedom; Or arrange to be a relatively kind person to be a subordinate.
At the very least, it will give them a good end, so that they will not be affected by these people because of her.
And Yao Shuqi, Tao's mother, Wang Fulai, Aoki, these people who have done a lot of things for their mother and daughter, after Qi Muyuan buys them, he will give them the deed of sale, and go to the government to cancel the slave status, and then send them a piece of land and shop that Du Jinning originally prepared for them, which can be regarded as the whole love between Du Jinning and their master and servant.
As for Zhuang Yue, he is the shopkeeper and did not sell himself to the Du family, so there is no need to be so troublesome. But Qi Muyuan will also give him a property according to Du Jinning's instructions. If he is willing to follow Qi Muyuan, Qi Muyuan will also take him under his command.
Other shopkeepers or guys, if they are unwilling to work in the tea garden and shop after Qi Muyuan took over, Qi Muyuan will give them a sum of severance silver, so that they can get together and disperse.
This is all the arrangements that Du Jinning has made for his subordinates.
It's just that before that, she needs to let Yao Shuqi come out to preside over the overall situation, help her stabilize everything, and don't go on a business trip.
Calling Yao Shuqi to her courtyard to make sure that no one was eavesdropping on the surveillance, she said, "Uncle Yao, there is one thing I have to tell you, so that you can be prepared." ”
Yao Shuqi is rejoicing that Du Jinning has researched high-yield rice and is about to be promoted.
Seeing Du Jinning's serious expression, he immediately held back his mind and said respectfully: "What's the matter, the young master just orders." ”
"When the emperor's will comes, I will go to the capital. And going to the capital here, not only has a splendid future, but also is full of thorns. ”
Then, Du Jinning exaggerated how the family controlled the government, how weak the imperial power was, and how they almost poisoned the emperor's eldest son if they didn't listen to them a little. Yao Shuqi turned pale with fright, and she was full of worries about her going to the capital, so she stopped.
"Then, what should you do, young master?" Yao Shuqi asked.
"As courtiers, how can we back down when the emperor needs us the most? Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of us, we have nothing to fear. Du Jinning's words were very impassioned.
Yao Shuqi was enthusiastically boiled by her: "Young master, you are not afraid, and we are naturally not afraid." No matter where the young master goes, we will be with us and never back down. ”
"No, no, no." Du Jinning waved his hand again and again, "I don't need you to take risks. As long as you help me stabilize the rear and prevent people from taking the opportunity to frame me and cause a fire in my backyard, you will help me a lot. ”
"Young master......" Yao Shuqi was about to say, but was interrupted by Du Jinning, "Listen to me!" ”
Yao Shuqi had no choice but to shut up, staring at Du Jinning, listening carefully to every word she said.
"I plan to stage a play with the emperor and bring down several powerful families. And I can't tell you the details. I just want to tell you that after I go to the capital, no matter what kind of news you hear, you don't want to mess up, and don't let the people in your family mess up, you know? Otherwise, someone will take advantage of it and hide some taboo items such as dragon robes, and you young master and I will really be finished. ”
Yao Shuqi immediately patted his chest and said: "Young master, don't worry, if something like this really happens, my old Yao will directly admit all the crimes, and I will never drag you down, young master." ”
"Is that what I mean?" Du Jinning glared at him.
"No, no, no." Yao Shuqi hurriedly said, "I mean, I will definitely take care of the house, and I will not let anyone enter and leave the house at will, and I will not let any strangers into the house." All the subordinates supervise each other, let everyone calm down, and wait quietly for the young master to come back at home, and there will definitely be no situation like what the young master said. ”
Du Jinning nodded with satisfaction.
"If I leave for a long time, you all listen to Young Master Qi, and his orders are my orders." Du Jinning said again.
"Yes, young master, the villain remembered."
"Alright, you can go down." Du Jinning waved his hand.
After Yao Shuqi went out, she took out her special fake breasts. Then he sighed: I don't have to cover this thing in the summer after I come.
She used to be A, but now it's a B cup, holding such a thing, not to mention the heat of summer, and her chest muscles are not normal.
On the inside of this false breast, she deliberately asked Chen to make a special lining, which is made of non-wet oilcloth, and it is all composed of large and small pockets. Anyway, the fake chest is not very breathable, and if you get such a layer, it will naturally be even more uncomfortable.
But fortunately, I couldn't bear it for a few days.
Du Jinning folded the silver tickets of various amounts into two, stuffed them into his pocket, and put in a few household registrations and road guides that Qi Muyuan and Qin Lao Liu had each asked someone to open, as well as the gold leaves that she asked Qin Lao Liu to specially ask someone to make.
It turned out that she had more than 30,000 pieces of silver. In the past year and a half, because of the emergence of flower tea and tea ceremony, tea has sold particularly well; The income of "Farming Notes" and newspapers is also good, and the flower shop is even more because of the increase in the variety of flowers in the flower and tree base, and the business is very good, so there are more than 40,000 taels of silver.
Together, her net worth is 80,000 taels of silver.
When she transferred the tea garden to Qi Muyuan's name, Qi Muyuan also gave her a silver ticket of 100,000 taels of silver - he originally wanted to give more, but the Qi family could not take out much cash, and it was all set into an industry. Du Jinning doesn't want so much, she has a limited place to hide silver tickets. If it's winter, you can hide more.
When Chen left, Du Jinning hid 80,000 taels of silver tickets for her, and asked her to take away all the gold, silver and jewelry from her home. If her crime of deception does not come out, the Chen family will return to the capital. With three sisters taking care of her, and these 80,000 taels of silver tickets, Chen's old age will be very good. Du Jinning believes that Qi Muyuan will also take care of her.
And she herself is now hiding the 100,000 taels of silver tickets that Qi Muyuan gave her.
The hairpin that Qi Muyuan gave her, she inserted it directly into her men's bun and wore it every day. The purple beads were placed in the purse containing the gold and silver fruits around her waist.
In addition, she packed another package and ordered Akagi to secretly put it in the dark compartment of the newly made carriage in the middle of the night when no one was there.
This carriage has only been built for a short time, and Du Jinning has added a shock absorption function, which can withstand bumps more than the original carriage and is more recognizable. The hidden compartment on the carriage is movable and can be taken out if necessary, and this device is unknown to Wang Fulai.
After doing all this, she gave an order to Akagi, asking him to give Aoki some medicine, so that Aoki would fall ill with "wind cold" like Du Jinde at the beginning.
If she goes to the capital and doesn't take Yao Shuqi with her, there will be no problem. After all, Yao Shuqi is the housekeeper of the Du family, and when Du Jinning leaves home, Yao Shuqi must sit in the rear to help her guard the house. But Aoki is Du Jinning's personal servant, and no matter where he goes over the years, he has followed Du Jinning closely.
This time I went to the capital and suddenly brought Akagi instead of Aoki, not to mention what Aoki thought, others would definitely be suspicious. Once the East Window incident happened, this was an obvious loophole, and it was not easy for Chen Yu, Qi Bokun, and Qi Muyuan to help her cover it up.
Details determine success or failure, Du Jinning naturally wants to do a full set of plays, taking all aspects into account.
On the second day, Du Jinning really ushered in an official of the Ministry of Household Affairs in Beijing, as well as a thousand imperial guards.
As soon as the 1,000 imperial guards arrived in Runzhou, they were directly stationed on Du Jinning's Zhuangzi.
This style scared the people on Zhuangzi a lot, and Song Zhuangtou found Du Jinning and asked her what was going on.
Du Jinning said: "I was ordered by the emperor to study high-yield rice varieties, and now that the research has been successful, the emperor will naturally take over this place." You don't have to worry, you can live your life how you normally live, just listen to the soldiers, and don't do anything out of line. In the future, you experienced people will have to teach these rice seeds and fish farming. If you do a good job and get the emperor's reward, your life will be better. ”
When Song Zhuang heard that it was a good thing, he immediately relaxed a lot, and after thanking Du Jinning for his kindness, he hurriedly went back to appease the people in Zhuangzi.
Hubu Shangshu and other officials looked at the heavy rice, and asked the tenant farmers to harvest an acre of upper, middle, and lower fields in front of each and weigh them, and the yield was no different from that reported by Wu Shangshu and others.
The Ministry of Household wants to compete with the Ministry of Industry. After all, Du Jinning is not from the Ministry of Industry. This great merit cannot be forcibly occupied by the Ministry of Industry alone.
Du Jinning naturally had no objections.
The research on hybrid rice has nothing to do with her. As long as she is given Danshu iron coupons, the rest of the credit will be taken by whoever she loves.
The two Shangshu Jingli have a bunch of things, so naturally they can't stay here and wait for the rice harvest to be finished. Father-in-law Jin is a person who is used to staying in the palace, and it is okay to go out for a walk, and he will feel uncomfortable if he stays for a while. So the next day, they went to the capital with Du Jinning.
Du Jinning only brought two small servants, one was Chimu, one was An Shi disguised as a subordinate, and a nursing home named Zhou Yunsheng who was "bought" from Qin Laoliu.
"Young Master, why didn't you ask me to go?" Wang Fulai stopped doing it when he saw Chimu driving, and his eyes still looked at An Shi.
An Shi lived in the garden, but he recognized and knew that he was the pianist of the tea ceremony. As for what An Shi did to Qi Muyuan before, he didn't know anything.
Before Du Jinning could speak, Yao Shuqi pulled him aside and reprimanded: "Young master does things, do you still have to get your consent?" followed Gonggong Jin and the two Shangshu to Beijing together, the young master has little qualifications, and bringing so many useless people to go, isn't it in the way of other people's eyes? If I take you there, will you be able to read, play the piano, or do you know martial arts? What else can be expected of you other than driving? The people brought by the young master are used by one person as two people. ”
Wang Fulai didn't dare to speak.
"This time is special, I will definitely take you to the capital in the future." Du Jinning reassured Wang Fulai.
Wang Fulai immediately laughed and gave Du Jinning his hand: "Thank you, young master, I wish you a safe journey." ”
Du Jinning didn't say anything more, and when she saw that Gonggong Jin and the others were leaving, she hurriedly got into the car, and Chimu drove the car behind and walked slowly.
An Shi sat on the wheel with Chimu, and Zhou Yunsheng rode with him.
Du Jinning told An Shi that he would let him follow Lu Jiuyuan to Japan, but Master Watanabe was sick and only got better a few days ago. According to the newly planned date of the people of Honglu Temple, Master Watanabe, Lu Jiuyuan and others prepared to leave in five days.
So Du Jinning went to Beijing and just brought An Shi with him.
Jin Gonggong and the two Shangshu brought a lot of subordinates and guards, and the group was mighty and did not walk fast. It wasn't until it was almost dark that I arrived in the capital.
"Lord Du." An imperial guard came from the front on horseback and asked Du Jinning's carriage, "Gonggong Jin asked you, do you have a place to stay in Beijing?" Do you want to get a place to stay? ”
Jin Gonggong also saw that Du Jinning had made a great contribution, and he would definitely rise to the top in the future and be reused by Zhao Yu, so he deliberately showed goodwill.
"I have a place to live in the capital." Du Jinning said with a smile, "You go and thank Gonggong Jin for me, thank him for remembering." ”
