The eldest sister Jia Yun did not marry in Beijing, because the second uncle Jia Dazhong took the initiative to raise the flag three years ago, and the family moved to Linyu County, Yongping Prefecture, Jingdong Region.

This place is not far from Shanhaiguan.

The attitude of the uncle and nephew on the matter of raising the flag is really different.

In order not to be out of the flag, the nephew is worried that his kidneys are about to be weak.

Uncle is good, without saying a word, he received the relevant subsidies from the Dutong Yamen, sold his house and decisively left Beijing to become a Han Chinese.

If it's not a nephew who isn't a nephew at all, maybe the choice to be an uncle is the right one.

The letter was brought by Daquan, because the second uncle didn't know that his nephew had become the governor of Zhili, so the letter was directly entrusted to the eldest brother's house in Mancheng.

The letter said that the eldest sister was married to a local Xiucai surnamed Lin in Luan County, who was three years older than the eldest sister.

The family was also born in the Han military banner, and his ancestors had fought with Li Yingying, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, Sun Kewang and Liu Wenxiu, who fought the Great Western Army, but the Lin family was out of the flag as early as the 27th year of Qianlong, and it was the first batch of flags.

The second uncle Dazhong had a good relationship with Lin Xiucai's father when he was in the flag, and he grew up with mud when he was a child, so he also went to Linyu County after the flag, and rented 30 acres of land to guard the Manchurian soldiers in the local area.

may be under the pressure of the family's heavy burden of life, Jia Dazhong has not returned to Beijing since the flag was raised, that is, when he first arrived in Linyu to settle down, he brought two letters to his eldest brother and told him about the current situation.

At that time, Jia Liu was enlightening in Jinchuan, before ascending.

Later, when I returned to Beijing to marry my daughter-in-law, I thought about informing my second uncle to come back to drink the wedding wine, and I also asked someone to bring it to the second uncle, not wanting the second uncle to go out with someone and sell skins and not know about the nephew's marriage.

In short, it's all kinds of unhurried coincidences, and in the end, Jia Liu and this second uncle have never seen each other.

Daquan explained in the letter that his son would go to Linyu even if he was busy, because he was the only man in the fourth generation of the Jia family, and he was his own uncle and daughter.

As for himself, Daquan really can't go.

It's not that he can't ride in the car when he's old, but his daughter-in-law is about to give birth.

Aunt Zhao's belly is bulging, and it is estimated that she will give birth in the next few days.

It's unlucky, Aunt Zhao's husband Qin San was martyred in front of the army, saying that he was ambushed by thieves when he was transporting grain to the front line.

Sichuan Luying specially sent someone to report the funeral, and sent 35 taels of silver to Aunt Zhao that Qin San died in the line of duty.

As a result, Aunt Zhao was so excited that she almost fainted, and when she woke up, she cried and told her unfortunate life experience, where could she hurt her body so much with a big belly, Daquan was afraid of a mistake, and she waited in front of her every day, and she didn't dare to leave Beijing to go to Linyu to drink her niece's happy wine.

asked his son to go on his behalf, and asked someone to give the second brother Dazhong a hundred taels of silver tickets and a pair of pure gold bracelets, which weighed his heart for his niece as an uncle.

It's also a shame to say that Jia Liu really hasn't taken care of his second uncle's family in the past two years.

Thinking about the love of the second uncle for him when he was a child, he had to take the time to go anyway, and by the way, he would solve the matter of the Shanhaiguan garrison.

Shanhaiguan had a Manchurian garrison of 1,200 men.

There are not many people of 1,200, and if Jia Liu is left elsewhere, he is not interested in dealing with it at all, but this Manchurian army is stationed in Shanhaiguan, so he must go there.

Let's see if we can firmly control this important town that separates the inside and outside of the pass in our own hands, lest the disciples of the Jia clan in the future want to run outside the pass and cause trouble for him.

The eldest sister Jia Yun's wedding date is August 12, today is the second day of the new year, and there are ten days left, so it is completely timely.

Jia Liu asked the bolt pillar to clean up and officially end his devil training in the Dagu Water Camp.

A month of large-scale military training can make him, the governor, miserable, and his little belly has come out.

There's no way, the sea cucumber eats too much.

The results of the large-scale military training have been remarkable, and it is true that officials have the appearance of officials and soldiers.

The whole appearance of the sailor is not to say that it is earth-shattering, at least the overall look is comfortable.

Before leaving, he told Zamur, who was the deputy general of the temporary water division, and then took people to leave Dagu and go to Tianjin.

The main reason for going to Tianjin is to talk with Xu Ji, the top leader in Tianjin.

There are three main contents of the talks.

The first is the formation and training of the new army in Tianjin.

Jia Liu planned to train the new army of three towns in Tianjin, one of which was recruited locally in Tianjin, and the other two in Shandong.

The recruitment of troops in Tianjin will definitely trouble Xu Ji, the head of the local snake, without the cooperation of this governor, Jia Liu, even if he is the governor of Zhili, cannot directly mobilize the officials below to do things for him.

On the Shandong side, he had already sent a letter to the governor Guotai and the only letter from the general army, and sent a working group to Shandong, hoping that Guotai and the only one could cooperate with the recruitment work.

The reason for recruiting soldiers from the two towns in Shandong is also because Shandong had just experienced the Qingshui Sect turmoil last year, and the people's livelihood withered, so recruiting soldiers from the two towns in Shandong can give a large number of unemployed young people a job, and second, it can also reduce the pressure on public security in Shandong.

For recruitment, Jia Liu actually didn't have too many requirements.

Literacy is the best, and literacy is also acceptable, mainly among rural youth.

After the soldiers were recruited into the camp, they did not rush to train at first, but first carried out a literacy campaign for a month or two, striving to make the soldiers able to write and read the simplest Chinese characters commonly used in daily life.

To this end, Jia Liu's side is also preparing to streamline traditional characters.

The second thing is about the Beiyang Trade Yamen and the Tianjin Customs Supervision Yamen.

The establishment of these two yamen has been given, the former is from the third grade, and the latter is the fourth grade.

It is equivalent to two department-level units.

If two new units are set up in Tianjin, and they are related to maritime trade and trade, then the Tianjin Governor Yamen will definitely want to get a piece of the pie.

It's a question of how the cake is distributed.

The third thing is that Jia Liu plans to open the east-west provincial road.

That is, the avenue from Tianjin Port to Baoding, as well as the government roads and county roads that extend around Tianjin Port one after another.

All these need to be cooperated by Tianjin.

In addition, the issue of Beiyang trade involves the issue of attracting investment.

The hardware is done, and there must be a businessman to buy and sell the goods.

This also requires the government to introduce a series of business-oriented policies, so Jia Liu has to study and negotiate with Xu Ji, a local snake.

Because he sent someone to inform Tianjin in advance, Xu Ji specially sent people out of the city to greet him, and he himself led the Tianjin gentry to line up at the city gate to welcome the governor of Zhili.

It's been almost a year since the last meeting with Xu Ji, when Jia Liu was still the prime minister of Zheng Sanpin, but now he is the governor of Zheng Erpin, and he is still Xu Futai's superior in name.

After the welcoming ceremony, Jia Liu, accompanied by Xu Ji, entered the city, and then the two sides began formal talks at the governor's yamen.

What Xu Futai was not used to was that when the Governor General met with him, several reporters from the "Daqing Daily" were present to record.

This made the talks quite official.
