After seeing Shen Zizheng and Jia Zhu respectively, they saw that they had finished taking the medicine and were sitting at the table in the room reading a book, both of them coughing.

Jia Qiong couldn't, and could only ask the two of them to rest more, and then read after they got better.

After all, there is a saying that sharpening knives is not wrong for woodcutters, and there is time after the body is raised, so there is no need to seize this little time to kill.

He also told Jia Zhu that Jin Wenxiang came to report the matter of hoarding grain, and Jia Zhu just asked Jia Qiong to watch and deal with it by himself, and after his body was better, he could understand it, and then let Jia Qiong go to the study to deal with it by himself.

After some conversation, Jia Qiong left the courtyard where Jia Zhu was and came to the study.

"Third master, you're here." Jin Wenxiang saw Jia Qiong coming from Jia Zhu's courtyard, and immediately stepped forward to salute.

Along the way, Jia Qiong also figured out the matter, and at that time he was still wondering why Jin Wenxiang did not report to Jia Zhu directly, but came to find him.

Presumably he reported to Jia Zhu in advance, or met Jia Zhu and got his letter to find himself, rather than having any other thoughts, it seems that Jia Zhu is also deliberately testing himself.

After all, this Jin Wenxiang was waiting directly in Jia Zhu's courtyard.

Thinking of this, Jia Qiong also had a little clarity in her heart, and then looked at this man who was somewhat similar to Mandarin Duck. Said with a smile:

"I can't talk about the third master, Brother Jin can just call me Brother Qiong."

When Jin Wenxiang saw Jia Qiong say this, his face stiffened, and then he smiled slightly embarrassedly: "Third master, aren't you slapping your little face?" How dare the villain call the third master like this. ”

Looking at Jin Wenxiang's face, he didn't listen to his words carefully, but he confirmed a little more in his heart.

Looking at Jin Wenxiang, who was embarrassed on his face, he was not familiar, but he would be Jia's mother's full-time buyer in the future, and he thought he had a certain ability. And I don't remember that the original book said that he was greedy.

There was some emotion in his heart, and then he said to him with a smile:

"If I hadn't been favored by Brother Dezhu, how could I be rich today.

In the past, the family was also poor, and now it is not rich, so you can only mix food and clothing, and you are not as good as Brother Jin. ”

After a pause, he looked at Jin Wenxiang, who was a little uncertain in front of him, but continued to laugh dryly. To continue:

"Now Brother Zhu has asked your sister to be my maid again, although I am still young, it is not too much to call you a big brother."

didn't wait for him to speak, and then went into the study, Jin Wenxiang looked at Jia Qiong's back, opened his mouth several times, and finally put down his raised right hand.

No more words, followed Jia Qiong into the study.

After sitting down, he looked at Jin Wenxiang standing in front of him, and asked him to sit down and talk with a smile. Then he began to boil water on a small stove to make tea.

After completing a set of procedures, seeing that Jin Wenxiang was still standing in front of him, he said:

"Brother Jin, little brother is not joking with you. The same is true for me and the mandarin ducks, so sit down and talk to me. Nothing else. ”

After a few polite times, looking at Jin Wenxiang sitting in front of him, Jia Qiong's right hand was half clenched into a fist, and the curved index finger knuckle rubbed back and forth on the tip of her nose.

After looking at Jin Wenxiang carefully for a while, he said, "Brother Jin, is there anything important about coming this time?" ”

Seeing that Jia Qiong had only started chatting with him for a long time, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he was a little nervous, and raised his eyes to look at Jia Qiong opposite.

After a slight pause, he thought carefully about his words in his heart and said:

"Back to the third master, what I want to tell you is the food hoarding that you talked about with Uncle Zhu and Second Master Xue five days ago.

Originally, according to the previous agreement, he wanted to buy 200,000 stone of grain.

Second Master Xue took his father and several shopkeepers of the Xue family to contact a few families, and they have all been negotiated.

In the past three days, rice and grain have been shipped into the Xue family's warehouse, but news came from the direction of Huguang yesterday.

It is said that Huguang has had heavy snow this spring, and many people have frozen to death, and whether it is land transportation or ship transportation on the river, there is no time to transport grain to Jinling.

(The natural and man-made disasters written by the author are all historically traceable, including those written above, are not apocryphal, and they do not want to invent any natural disasters and make Shenzhou suffer.) In the future, I will write about some historical natural disasters, this time in 1602. The Yellow Emperor era is 4,297 years. ）

Later, a few people who were not afraid of the power of our two families broke their promises, returned their deposits, and stopped selling rice and grain with our two families. It is estimated that only about half of the grain hoarding this time, about 100,000 stones. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but pause and look at Jia Qiong, he knew that this matter was caused by the young man in front of him.

It's just that the time is late, or I didn't expect those businessmen to break their promises, otherwise the income on Jinling's side this time will not be low, and I admire it very much.

And those who broke their promises must have also been signaled by the masters behind their respective backs, and he only knew that the people behind these people were also extremely weighty.

After all, the Jia Xue family is not something that ordinary mansions can offend, and it is impossible to refuse without a little energy.

As for those little ones, they don't have to care, and their father and the second master of the Xue family don't have the idea of pursuing it, and they are just here to report it routinely.

For more specific things, presumably my father will report to Uncle Zhu in the future. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel even more that this Third Master Qiong is a fairy-like character, and he can actually calculate these things in advance.

His sister would not suffer if she served such a master, and when she thought that she was sitting in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a little restrained, and she really sat down in a daze just now.

Seeing this, Jia Qiong smiled, looked at the boiling hot water, then brewed tea, and poured another cup for Jin Wenxiang.

After all, his current identity is not necessarily higher than Jin Wenxiang, and he is also considering whether he has the opportunity to use it for his own use.

Brought the poured tea to his face, looked at Jin Wenxiang, who had been a little cautious at the beginning and now a little restrained, smiled, and said lightly:

"Brother Jin, drink a cup of tea first, moisten your throat, and then continue. This matter is not urgent, it has come to this point, it is useless to rush, we just need to improvise.

looked at Jin Wenxiang, who took a few sips of tea and gently put down the cup, so he stretched out his hand and motioned for him to continue.

Jin Wenxiang looked at Jia Qiong's gesture, thought for a while, and then said:

"What Second Master Xue means is that the preparation of rice and grain is insufficient, and the income may not be as good as expected this time, or it may not play a role in suppressing grain prices."

Seeing that after he finished speaking, Jia Qiong didn't speak, but just picked up the teapot and refilled some tea for Jin Wenxiang.

Then he picked up his teacup and blew it lightly, walked slowly and tasted a few sips, thought about it in his heart, and then said to Jin Wenxiang:

"You told the second uncle of the Xue family that if you can't buy more rice grain, you don't need to buy it.

What we have bought now is enough, there is no need to do anything tricky and robbing, Brother Zhu is doing this for the sake of fame.

And 100,000 stones, the amount of silver that can be earned is enough, and the money is inexhaustible.

Things will eventually pass, as long as they have a good reputation, the people will think of them in the future, then their family business will not be worried in the future.

As for the lack of rice, it is not possible, after all, we have done our best. ”

Speaking of this, Jia Qiong thought about it and felt that something was wrong, and then said: "You talk like this with your father, let your father talk to the second uncle of the Xue family depending on the situation." ”

The two chatted for a while, and after understanding more thoroughly, seeing that Jin Wenxiang had nothing to say, Jia Qiongfang asked him to leave to find his father.

Looking at the back of Jin Wenxiang leaving, Jia Qiong also felt a little pity.

This time, I tried my best to promote this matter, for the sake of fame and fortune. In the future, when there is a shortage of grain, as long as it is sold at a price of 10 or 20 percent lower than others, there will naturally be a very large number of people who buy it.

As long as the number of personnel is strictly restricted, their own identity certificates must be issued and registered to purchase grain, and the rich people are restricted from buying more grain, then the popular will of these ordinary people will naturally be biased.

As long as you don't do big things against the grain, you will have some invisible benefits.

This time, he was cheeky and borrowed money from Jia Zhu, just to make a big sum of money and leave a certain amount of money for himself.

If Jia Zhu dies young like the original book in the future, he will not have such an opportunity to quickly accumulate original funds.

Unexpectedly, the income would be cut in half.

After being admitted to Xiucai next year, the identity of the student, plus the money this time, will not have to rely too much on the Jia family in these aspects.

The feeling of being inferior is actually not so wonderful, even if there is money to take it.

In this way, if there is a handover, that is, after the middle move, you need Jiafu to help run for office, which is just a debt of favor, but it will not be so inferior in terms of identity.

Thinking of the imperial examination, he also wondered why he didn't take the entrance examination in Shenjing, and he had to come to this land of Jinling.

Half a month ago, it was also in this study that he specially asked Jia Zhu.

At that time, Jia Zhu first smiled, and then said cautiously: "Brother Qiong, you also know that we are all from martial arts, and these civil officials actually don't want us to follow the literature.

If we follow the text, the family is a martial artist, and we have the right to speak in the army, it is easy to become people like Wang Mang, Huo Guang, and Cao Cao.

The civil officials are afraid, in fact, His Majesty the Emperor does not want us to follow the literature, unless we completely give up military power.

However, Wuxun's family business was handed down from his ancestors, so how could he give it up easily. ”

Jia Qiong couldn't help frowning, Jia Zhu's words were a little unanswerable.

But since this is the case, there must be some reason, it should be that he didn't understand the reason, so he looked at Jia Zhu puzzled.

At that time, looking at his face with some puzzlement, Jia Zhu asked him again: "Brother Qiong, why do you want to follow literature, but you don't go to martial arts." ”

Jia Qiong looked at Jia Zhu with a peach blossom face, and subconsciously said: "I am too young, I only have Congwen, and the previous family situation is beyond my strength. ”

When Jia Zhu heard his answer, he laughed at the time, stretched out his hand and pointed at him a few times, and said:

"Brother Qiong said very much, but he did not get to the root.

If it is before the founding of the country, it is better to join the army, and it is easier to add officials to the knighthood.

Now that Chengping has been peaceful for a hundred years, not to mention that military achievements are difficult to earn, it is said that governing the world can only be civil officials.

And no matter what dynasty, after the founding of the country, it was all civil and military, and even more so, the emperor let the eunuch as a supervisor.

These people are just like the self-recruited junior brother said, they don't understand military affairs but talk about military, and they are the cysts of the country.

It is not only a blasphemy against our noble ancestors, but also irresponsible for the lives of these border soldiers.

Therefore, in the future, it will be the leader of Wenchen, and if we nobles want to really retire with the country, unless we make a contribution like the old King Beijing when the country was founded, we will be hereditary and not demoted.

The rest can only take the road of Wenchen, just like my two mansions seem to be beautiful, but the title is getting lower and lower, and after two generations, there will be no more title.

Just like Uncle Lin's family, the ancestors also had a martial artist, who was sealed for the third generation, and because of the sage Longen, far from the previous generation, additional grace, to the uncle's father, another generation, and the title was broken, so the uncle could only follow the text to explore the flowers to obtain the position of patrolling the salt imperial history.

Their today is our tomorrow, so Uncle Jing and my father are both in the civil service, and now only Uncle Yu and Brother Zhen are in the military, and when we have not achieved the status of civil officials, we will not give up military power.

If we civil officials can use civil power to control the military when they have a certain status, then whether we give up military power or not will actually have little impact.

At least our civil servants who were born in martial arts know how to dispatch troops better than those simple civil officials, and it is easier to be loved by soldiers.

And when we have not given up our military power, the civilian officials will never let us achieve high positions in the civilian ranks, and they will not even let us easily become talented and promoted. Do you understand now? ”

has been explained so clearly, if you don't understand it anymore, Jia Qiong doesn't need to follow the text anymore.

Even if it is Congwen, it belongs to the kind of goods that are sold and still help people pay money, and it is not worth cultivating the Jia family anymore.

To put it bluntly, this is the confrontation between the monarch's power and the minister's power, and the minister's power is divided into the power of the minister and the power of the general, and the three-legged stand is established. But the monarchy and the prime minister tacitly want to control the military power.

And in Shenjing, before the Jia family handed over the military power of the Beijing camp, neither the emperor nor the Wenchen would let you take the throne easily, even if they took a fancy to you.

And in the future, it will be the world of Wenchen, and the military generals will eventually bow their heads to the military generals with the imperial military forces, and the general trend is like this, and the emperor and Wenchen are determined to divide the military generals together.

Two-on-one, since you can't beat it, join in.

This is a political dispute, and it will not change the bottom line for you as a small person, let you be amazing, it is not their faction, and it will be suppressed.

And when the Jia family did not have a certain background of Wenchen, they did not dare to make a desperate bet.

If Shenjing can't do it, then go where it can. The four major families have developed in Jinling for so many years, and they still have this confidence.

Although the main branch moved to Shenjing, the contact with Jinling has not been disconnected, and those old relatives are also in contact.

Recalling these, Jia Qiong couldn't help but nodded, the Jia family thought far enough.

I don't know what the reason for handing over the Jingying Festival envoy to Wang Ziteng in the future.

I remembered what Jin Wenxiang said. After sorting out his thoughts, he went to Jia Zhu's room.
