Chapter 156: Promotion to Marquis

Wangcai took the caravan to Heishan Village, and when he saw that Jia Cong was not there, he found out that he had gone to Guangning to join the army.

Then he called the two stewards he brought and handed over to Steward Zhang, so that they managed the Zhuangzi of Ning Rong's Second Mansion respectively and became the new head of the village.

Temporarily left the caravan in the village of Black Mountain, and drove five carts to Quang Ninh.

"Third Master, this is a letter from Miss Ping and several girls, in the car are the winter clothes prepared for the third master, Qingwen and Miss Han and others also have a copy, and I also brought the hundred sets of armor.

In addition, this time I went to the south, and the water monkey asked people to contact me, but I didn't say anything specifically, but I only asked me to bring a message to the third master, saying that the matter was okay, and nothing else was said. ”

Wangcai said, handed the letter in his hand to Jia Cong, and then stood aside.

Jia Cong took the letters, several of them, Ping'er's, Daiyu's, cherishing spring, exploring spring, welcoming spring, and a letter from Jia Lian.

took Jia Lian's letter, opened it and read it.

There was not much content in the letter, saying that he had received his letter, thanking him for disposing of Wu Jinxian, helping Rongfu recover a lot of losses, and telling Jia Cong to be more careful outside.

put down Jia Lian's letter and picked up Ping'er's letter, which actually contained several pages.

said that Jia Cong's letters and things had been received, and asked him to be careful outside, not to worry about the house, let him be fine, go home early, and don't stay outside for too long.

The letters and gifts to Miss Lin have been delivered to her son, and Miss Lin is very happy and tells him not to worry, she will help take care of it.

In the end, Qin Keqing wanted her younger brother Qin Zhong to go to the Jia family's clan school to study, hoping that she could agree.

This is not a big deal, after the Jia family was rectified by himself, it has become much more formal, there are no more messy things, just go if you want to.

In the original book, Qin Zhong went to the Jia family to study, and only then did he get acquainted with Jia Baoyu, and the two became good friends, almost inseparable, and only then did they have the romantic affair of Shuiyue'an Zhi'er.

In the end, his father knew that he was beaten half to death, and his father was angry to death, and he was killed.

Now that many things have changed, I don't know if this person's fate will change.

The following page was written by Mandarin Duck, because of Lin Daiyu's matter, he made fun of himself, told himself what the old lady thought, let himself have a bottom in his heart, and asked if he wanted to come over to take care of himself.

Xichun said that he missed himself, let him go back early, tell her about the outside affairs, and let him think of a few more stories, and tell her when he goes back.

Tanchun and Yingchun, said some words of concern in the letter, let yourself be more careful outside, etc.

Daiyu's letter reads: 'Brother Cong, I have received your letter and gifts, that bracelet is so beautiful, I like ······ very much, the hunting thing you said in your letter is so interesting, there is a chance that you will take me to hunt and play."

I really envy Qingwen, I can follow you everywhere every day to play, I am also practicing martial arts now, when I finish my kung fu practice, you have to take me to shout when I go out, I also want to follow you everywhere to see······

Brother Cong, you have to be more careful outside, try not to go to too dangerous places, otherwise I will be worried, remember what you said, don't regret it, you must come back safely. ’

Jia Cong smiled and put the letter into her arms, this little girl still cared about herself.

Looking up at Wangcai and said: "Brother Rong's daughter-in-law's maiden brother Qin Zhong is going to school in our clan school, you can handle this matter for him, no matter who goes, you must abide by the rules, and you can also tell him about this matter." ”

Wangcai nodded and said, "Knowing the third master, when will I go back?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Don't worry, the war on the Mongolian side is not over yet, this trade route is temporarily closed, you first send the goods to Wang Shun's camp, and when the rumor passes, let Xu Hua dispose of it."

You come back and send a batch of things back to Ningguofu, hand them over to Ping'er and store them in the inner treasury, and let Steward He and Steward Zhang lead the caravan south, buy a batch of rice, and strive to transport it to Liaodong before winter.

This time, you go south with the iron pillar and go to the water monkey, and in the future, you will be responsible for the materials they need, as well as the goods to be handled, and use the name of the caravan to provide convenience for them, this matter must be kept absolutely confidential, and no one else can know the relationship between the water monkey and us. ”

Wangcai patted his chest and promised: "Third master, don't worry, I won't let anyone know about this matter except me, even if it's my father, I won't say it." ”

Jia Cong nodded, there are not many people around him who can really be trusted, Wangcai, Iron Pillar and Crescent Moon are his earliest team, and they can still be trusted.

Tie Zhu is responsible for leading the special combat team members, following Jia Cong's side, and performing some special tasks.

The crescent moon is responsible for listening to the news in Ning Rong's second mansion and serving it as her own eyes and ears.

This Wangcai is more clever, and he will be responsible for his own logistics in the future and be the future manager.

Although these people who have been trained by themselves are not bad, they still need to be tempered and observed, and after a few more years of training, these special combat personnel can truly grow up.

It's been a year since the water monkeys joined the pirates, and now they've finally taken control of the pirates.

With this group of pirates as the foundation, coupled with their own strong support, they will soon grow and develop.

Wait for this time to let Tiezhu take people to take a look, if there is no problem, help them get a batch of big war ships, and then install small steel cannons, and they can go sideways on the sea.

Then a sea caravan was formed to conduct foreign trade with Goryeo, Wa, and the countries along the southeast coast, and even Western countries to maintain this sea power.

Another is that it can also be used to transport goods from north to south by sea, eliminating the difficulties of various checkpoints on land.

Wangcai rested for a day, and the next day he took people back to Black Mountain Village and led the caravan to Wang Shun's camp.

Jia Cong asked Han Nianci to take her six subordinates, plus Qingwen and the four of Chunxia, Qiudong, to sort out all those ginseng, deer antlers, tiger bones and other medicinal materials.

The ginseng was separated by year, packed separately, and labeled for easy access.

This batch of ginseng was obtained from the palace of the old slave king, even if it was the lowest vintage, it was not less than thirty years old, and most of them were more than fifty years old.

Generally, the ginseng in pharmacies in mainland China is less than 10 years old.

There are also ten or twenty years old, which are much more expensive, and forty or fifty years old are relatively rare, and they belong to the more precious and superb medicinal materials.

Seventy or eighty years old are generally used as 100-year-old ginseng, and really more than 100-year-old ginseng is rarely seen in the mainland.

Jia Cong found seven or eight pharmacies in Shenjing City and asked them to help buy century-old ginseng, but it has been two or three years, and he has not received a single plant, only a few hundred-year-old He Shou Wu.

Let Han Nianci store most of the ginseng and medicinal materials separately, and load the other small part into the truck, let Wangcai send it back to Ningguofu, and let Ping'er enter the inner warehouse.

Ning Guofu is his own master, and he will not be at home in the next few years, so it is not good to get too many things back.

Ping'er They don't feel distressed when they use themselves, they are afraid that they will see too many things, they don't know how to be rare, and they will give them away indiscriminately.

If you don't give it, you will offend people, and if you give it, you will pass it on ten, ten times, and hundreds, and what will you do?

So it's better to make a fortune in a muffled voice, just enjoy the good things silently, and don't go around showing off.

There are more than a dozen people living in the entire backyard, and many houses are idle, which is directly used as a warehouse, and a large number of materials are stored in it and handed over to Han Nianci to manage.

Three days later, Wangcai returned with the caravan and took five carts with him, accompanied by Tie Zhu and ten special combat soldiers.

······

Shenjing City, the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

Li Guanglu, the secretary of the military department, looked at the good news in his hand, and couldn't help but be startled, thinking that he had read it wrong.

Hurriedly rubbed his eyes, and looked carefully again, yes, it was true, it said kill the old slave, and five thousand bayalas.

Hurriedly read the above content quickly, and then he breathed a sigh.

If it's true, it's a big deal, it's a big deal, it's a big deal.

Once confirmed, guard against the barbarians' counterattack.

Killing someone's emperor is a great feud between life and death, and this battle is inevitable.

didn't dare to stay at the moment, took the good news into his arms, and hurried to the imperial study of the palace.

Seeing Emperor Longqing on the dragon chair, he paid a big salute: "Minister Li Guanglu, knock to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Emperor Longqing waved his hand and said, "Li Aiqing, let's calm down, I'm here to see me this time, but what's the matter?" ”

Li Guanglu said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister received a good news from He Shiyuan, the chief soldier of Guangning, who was urgent for 800 miles. ”

When Emperor Longqing heard this, his face looked a lot better, and this period of time was really good news, and it was only a few days later, and there was good news.

"Bring it up and let me see it."

Dai Quan took the good news and sent it to Emperor Longqing.

Emperor Longqing opened it and looked at it, his eyes widened instantly, and then he couldn't help laughing.

"Jia Cong, this kid, really deserves to be my blessed general, he actually cut off the head of the old slave, it's really happy, Li Aiqing, is this news true?"

Li Guanglu said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has just received the good news, so he came to see Your Majesty, and he has not sent anyone to check." ”

Dai Quan said: "Master, at this time, the people who went to Guangning to preach the holy decree should have arrived in Guangning, if it is true, they should be able to know something." ”

Emperor Longqing shook his head and said: "These people are too slow, send someone to check as soon as possible, I want to know the accurate news, and inform the cabinet ministers to come to the imperial study to discuss important matters." ”

"Slaves obey!"

Emperor Longqing took the good news and hurriedly went to the Taiji Palace, such a big thing, he had to talk to the Emperor Taishang.

"The sons and daughters see their father, and I wish my father and the emperor good health."

The Emperor raised his eyelids and said, "Why did the emperor have time to come over today, could it be that something happened again?" ”

Emperor Longqing handed over the good news and said respectfully: "Back to my father's words, I just received the good news, Jia Cong beheaded the old slave and wiped out five thousand bayalas. ”

Hearing this, the Emperor Taishang instantly sat up straight and took the good news and looked at it.

I read it carefully, and then fell into deep thought.

I can't imagine that the Mongolian Khalkha has been defeated by the old slave, this is really a Menghu, I really underestimated him before.

The killing of the old slave and his five thousand bayalas at this juncture undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the barbarians, depriving them of a brilliant leader and an excellent commander.

No matter who succeeds to the throne, there is no prestige of the old slave, so everyone is convinced that in the short term, the barbarians will fall into infighting.

From this point of view, it is definitely a great achievement, and it is a great achievement.

Unexpectedly, the Jia family has such a vigorous character, bold and lucky, if you can do this, you must also have some ability, and the empire has another general.

The death of the old slave will definitely not be hidden, and once the barbarians know the truth, they will definitely not give up.

Coupled with the unstable position of the new successor, and the need for an external war to alleviate the internal contradictions, then the killing of the old slave is the best excuse, and it seems that a big war is inevitable.

However, the barbarians have just experienced a great war, and although they won, the losses will definitely not be small.

In addition, the old slave's elite troops, Bayala, have been destroyed, and the losses can be said to be very large, so it is difficult to say whether the war will be launched immediately.

"This is indeed good news, the Khalkha that has been harassing us for decades has disappeared, and the barbarians have suffered a lot of losses as a result, which is a great thing for us in Dachu.

In this incident, the kid of the Jia family has made great contributions, and with these credits, it is more than enough to be crowned a prince, but he is too young now, so it is not appropriate to reward too much, but he can't be too stingy. ”

Emperor Longqing said: "Thank you for my father's teachings, Jia Cong, this kid entered the army so early, just to promote the title, when he first attacked the knight, he said that he wanted to enter the army and raise the title up, which is as he wanted." ”

Emperor Taishang smiled rarely: "This kid is direct, he is still a child, he doesn't want to think about it, how many titles there are in the whole country, is he still too young?"

Then this time it will be as he wants, make him a marquis, since he inherited Ning Guofu, then canonize him as Ning Wuhou, wait for him to train in the army for a few years, if he can make great contributions again, even if he is crowned a prince, it is not a big deal.

There is also this matter that cannot be hidden, once the barbarians know, there may be a big war with us, and we must prepare early, so that all departments in Liaodong can strengthen training and be more vigilant. ”

Emperor Longqing arched his hand and said: "Yes, father, the son-in-law will go down to make arrangements, and the son-in-law will retire." ”

Seeing Emperor Longqing withdraw from the main hall, Emperor Taishang sighed slightly.

I'm getting old, my body is getting worse and worse, I still have a little bit of thought in the past few years, I frequently interfered in government politics, and I control the power in the army, but now I don't have any thoughts at all.

"Grandson to see the emperor's grandfather, I wish the emperor's grandfather the holy body of good health!"

The Emperor Taishang said with a kind face: "It's Xiao Yi who is here, come to me." ”

The person who came was Xiang Yi, the king of Yizhong County, who was the only one who could enter the Taiji Palace without going through the communication, and he was also the son of the former prince.
