Chapter 643: It's hard to be an official, and it's even harder to be a big official

At the beginning, Jia Liu asked Kui Ni to go to the Zongren Mansion in order to record Jia Jia Shikai as Aixin Jueluo Shikai at the right time and place, so that it was logical to obtain the legal inheritance of the Qing Emperor's throne, so as to reduce the internal friction of seizing the Qing Dynasty and provide a strong guarantee for peaceful development.

For such a large project, Jia Liu gave Queenie 10,000 taels for his activities.

However, on the project of the Han people leaving the customs, he took out more than 40,000 taels at one time for Amida's activities, and bribed and won over all the important members of the Eight Banners outside the customs, including General Shengjing, Ningguta Dutong, Jilin General, and Uriya Sutai Dutong.

What is the picture?

Don't you want to make a hole in the thousand-mile embankment, so that the Han people can flock to the gate on a large scale?

After all, the population of the Qing Dynasty was nearly 300 million, and there was only so much arable land in the Guannei, and from time to time the people revolted, in addition to the anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty ideology, it was the old problem of more people and less land that had trapped the Central Plains Dynasty for thousands of years.

The fertile fields outside the customs are fertile for thousands of miles, and the products are even more abundant, so it is not a problem to accommodate tens of millions of people at all, and it can also greatly alleviate all kinds of conflicts caused by land tension in the customs area.

Especially in Zhili, a key development area in Jialiu, he didn't dare to make a public uprising.

Therefore, it is necessary to make an opening to guide the poor people in the Zhili area, including Shandong, to the outside of the customs in a planned way, and then cooperate with industry and trade to digest the surplus population of the land and improve the living standards of the people, so as to ensure that the large-scale development of Zhili can be carried out in full swing.

Otherwise, in a disaster year, a large number of displaced people will definitely be affected.

A peaceful environment is the basis for determining a country's take-off.

Last year's religious rebellion in Shandong was, to put it bluntly, a civil unrest, and if it were to come again this year, Jia Liu's investment would definitely be in vain.

In order to quell the rebellion in Shandong, Shandong's local expenditure amounted to several million taels (including two million taels embezzled by Cathay and Yu Yijian), and the Qing court's treasury also opened a huge amount of three million taels.

In addition, Henan, Zhili, and Tianjin have also invested a large amount of money one after another, and the losses caused to the Qing court by the interruption of Caoyun for a few months are as much as more than 2 million taels.

Jia Liu recruited soldiers from two towns in Shandong, not because he was afraid that Shandong's homeless young people would have another incident, and the war would be raging all his life, and the first thing to bear the brunt of was his next-door neighbor Zhili, including Tianjin under Shandong's nose.

It's difficult, it's hard to be a man, it's hard to be an official, and it's even more difficult to be a big official!

Sometimes, Jia Liuting wants to go back to the past, that is, when he was the captain of Lan Ling and the forward school, he took one or two hundred people to eat and drink, and robbed the cash truck, and what he thought about the most was how to kill people, how to realize the stolen goods, how to curry favor with his superiors, how to worry about himself like today.

There is no way, the wheels of the times have just rolled him to the top of the frontier, and he has no interest in money, and if he doesn't do these things, others will worry about his money.

The matter of the Han people leaving the customs has to be dressed in all kinds of clothes and cannot be made explicit, and there are also some "restraint" policies to deal with the so-called national policy that the Han people are not allowed to leave the customs.

However, as long as this opening is opened, no matter what form it takes, it will be difficult to close it again.

As long as the banner people outside the Guanxi adapt to the Han people who come from the Guan, live, sell, and farm, and the important members of the Eight Banners from top to bottom have formed a community of interests with Jia Liu, then Jia Liu believes that at most ten years, he will be able to restore the Han surname in the Northeast after a hundred years.

I dare not say that the total number of more than 6 million Han people in Liaodong during the heyday of Wanli should be restored, and it will not be a problem to restore half of them first, and it will not be a problem to overwhelm the banner people again in terms of numbers.

With someone, the rest will be easier to do.

Jia Liu handed over the docking and follow-up work of related affairs to Ding Qing, deputy director of the office, and listed this project as one of the four major difficult projects together with the iron and steel plant, Tianjin Port and military factory.

"This project is very important and of great significance, it is related to whether I can control the customs in the future, and it is also related to my personal future, so you have to go all out, eliminate all difficulties, and do a good job in this big project of infiltration!"

Jia Liu was very optimistic about Ding Qing, implying that Ding Qing would succeed in doing this for him, and the first governor of Liaodong in the future would be Lord Ding.

"Understood, lowly understood!"

Ding Qing, who has more than 20 years of criminal investigation experience and has followed Master Jia Jia for almost three years, has an understanding of infiltration, which is beyond ordinary people.

Because, his uncle, the governor of Sichuan, told him about the great strategy of the curve against the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, Deputy Director Ding has a view of the overall situation, and he also very much agrees with Master Jia Jia's layout.

However, there is still a major matter waiting for Lord Jia Jia to handle.

It was Director Yang of Yongping Mansion who sent an urgent report, asking the Governor to immediately send troops to surround Yongping Mansion and immediately rush to Yongping to take command.

The reason is that there is an anti-Qing and Ming restoration clique hidden in Yongping Mansion, and dozens of officials of all sizes in Yongping Mansion are involved, and it is not even ruled out that the officials and students of Yongping Mansion have been completely infiltrated by anti-Qing elements.

Jia Liu, who was loyal to the Qing Dynasty, undoubtedly attached great importance to this major anti-Qing case, and immediately ordered Amida to rush to Yongping City with 500 closed soldiers first, and accept the unified command of Director Yang to ensure that none of the anti-Qing elements in Yongping City escaped.

On his side, he said goodbye to his second uncle's family first, saying that he would come to drink the wedding wine when his brother-in-law Lin Xiucai recovered.

and told the second uncle that he was going to be a nephew and arranged for him to be a "visa officer" at the gate, which was responsible for helping those Han people who wanted to get out of the customs to get passports.

Start with the six products first, and then slowly promote it when you go back to your nephew.

If you can't do anything else, it's not difficult to let the second uncle retire at the hall level.

The usurpation was successful, and it was difficult for the second uncle to become the king of the county.

I didn't want Dazhong to hear that his nephew had arranged for him to be an official, so he immediately shook his head and criticized his nephew for not using the power in his hands to seek national fame for his uncle, which ruined the country's laws and his own official reputation.

Anyway, he would rather farm at home and do small business when he has nothing to do, and he doesn't want his nephew to be pointed at behind him because of him, so as to live up to the emperor's respect for him and the cultivation of the court for him.

Jia Liu knows the temperament of the second uncle, in fact, the second uncle is an upright person, and he is also from the Han Army, and he knows the things in the flag very well, so it is most suitable to be a visa officer.

But the second uncle has such a strong temper, if he regards his nephew's kindness as a personal use of power, then Jia Liu has no choice, because he is in a hurry to go to Yongping Mansion to suppress the anti-Qing elements, so he said that this matter will be discussed later.

Before leaving, he met with his aunt and sisters, and gave the gifts he had brought from Tianjin to his aunt, and when he left, he stuffed the five thousand taels of silver tickets that were originally used as congratulatory gifts into the hands of the eldest sister.

The eldest sister Jia Yun has never seen so much silver when she is so old, and she is so scared that she doesn't dare to accept it.

The second uncle and his family also said that they gave too much, even if they were really good to their sisters when they were brothers, they could marry one person and give one hundred taels, how could they give five thousand taels so much.

You must know that in these years, ordinary people's families spend more than 20 taels a year, and the poorer ones even spend a few taels.

If you buy land in Linyu County for 5,000 taels, you can buy hundreds of acres.

That's saying that he won't accept anything.

"This money is my nephew's incorruptible silver last year, innocent, and it is also my brother's heart for my sister, if the second uncle doesn't accept it, then he really treats his nephew as an outsider!"

After Jia Liu finished speaking, he dropped the silver ticket and left.

The second uncle Dazhong chased the silver ticket to the door, wanting to return the money to his nephew, but at the moment when the nephew got on the horse, he still hesitated, and finally accepted the silver ticket with a sigh, looking at the back of the nephew who was far away, and at the same time, he was relieved and at the same time, he also showed a rare smile on his face.

The East Pavilion is like this, it must be the result of the blessing of the spirit of heaven by the old lady who has made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty.
