Chapter 14: Windfall
In the blink of an eye, it was May, Jinling was already very hot, and Jia Jue didn't go to the camp much, first, he was about to leave, and second, because of the hot weather, the barracks were no longer very practiced.
There was no wind for many days, the gate of the small courtyard was open, and the grass insects inside and outside the courtyard were particularly loud.
Xiangling was sitting in the cloister doing needlework.
In the study, Jia Jue held the letter in his hand, with a smile on his face, unfolded the letter and read it again, this is a handwritten letter from Lin Ruhai brought by Jia Gui from Yangzhou.
With the deterrence of the Bai family's annihilation, the rest of the salt merchants obediently handed over the full amount of donations, not only that, but they also handed over all the private salt for six or seven months, not like the Bai family was so bold, but these few still handed over the private salt worth a total of 400,000 taels.
For the wealth of salt merchants, Jia Jue has a new understanding.
Closing the letter, Jia Jue touched the silver ticket on the case again, a whole pile, all of which were denominations of 1,000 taels, a total of 30,000 taels.
This is considered the benefit fee that Lin Ruhai gave himself, it should be a small head, after all, there are still the town guard mansion and the Jiangnan camp, it is estimated that Lin Ruhai has intercepted a lot, not to mention fifty or sixty thousand.
This is just one of them, you can imagine the wealth of the Lin family, no wonder Jia Lian will sigh that he is making a windfall of one million taels!
Jia Gui: "Third master, my aunt also said, please go to Yangzhou in person when you are free, he has something to say to you." ”
Jia Jue was stunned, "What did you say?" ”
"I didn't say it."
Jia Gui thought for a while, and then said: "But the master of the Yandao Yamen said a word, saying that the court has been too calm recently, Your Majesty has not been in the early court for more than two months, and the Qingliu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Hanlin Academy has not written to criticize it, it is too weird, and he must be planning something big." ”
"Oh?"
Jia Jue was slightly stunned, could it be that because of himself, the battle for the establishment of the reserve is about to advance again?
No, such a big opportunity can not only be a spectator, must make rights from it, Emperor Tianyou was forced to the cliff by the civilian group, the angry emperor was dizzy for a while, and only thought of supporting the noble generals against the civilian group that had gone out of control, and he didn't care about the military power that was thrown out, but not everyone could get this welfare package.
Thinking of this, he sighed slightly, his predecessor had a low status, and he couldn't get in touch with the wind direction of these high-level people at all, not to mention the Jia family, even Wang Ziteng couldn't make a profit from it.
Jia Jue's brows couldn't help but furrow.
Jia Gui: "Don't worry about the third master, my aunt has already written to Beijing to inquire about the news, and the master also said that it will be the 68th birthday of the Empress Dowager soon, and the Ming Dynasty governs the country with filial piety, and no one will make trouble for everyone at this juncture." ”
Jia Jue was overjoyed, but he pretended to be silent for a while before he said: "I know about this matter, you can rest for two days first, and pay attention to the news inside and outside the city, and tell me immediately if there is anything unusual." ”
At this moment, a personal soldier hurriedly came in, handed a letter to Jia Qi, and said in a low voice: "An urgent letter from Ning Guofu." ”
Jia Jue was stunned, took the letter and glanced at it, it was Jia Zhen's handwriting, and quickly tore open the seal, took out the letter and opened it, looked at it and looked at it, while Jia Gui escorted Daiyu into Beijing, Jia Jue spent a lot of money to let Jia Zhen open up the door of Dai Quan in the Qianqing Palace, this news is Jia Zhen revealed by Dai Quan, Emperor Tianyou knew that he and Qian Feng privately embezzled the Bai family's property, it was so dangerous, he and Qian Feng did not dare to take more, only took a few boxes of jewelry each, and did not dare to move the silver and gold.
As for why he was greedy and didn't dare to take the money, hehe, not taking a penny will make people even more suspicious.
Slowly seeing the end, Jia Jue gasped, what a God bless emperor, no wonder he still firmly controls the government after not going to the court for many years, and this hand is quite beautiful.
It's just that Jia Yu suffered, and it was really a person who sat in trouble at home and came from heaven.
This time his reputation is completely stinky, and it has really become a joke among the nobles, as for the two palace maids, the emperor has rewarded you, but, you dare to move?!
What a cautious emperor.
However, Jia Jue also found a problem, that is, Dai Quan still has something to hide from himself, at least he didn't say it, how did Qian Feng deal with it? This old eunuch, when this is a slippery head very.
Three thousand taels bought such a news, and there is no one.
Money, I am very short of money.
Thinking of the treasure buried by the Bai family again, I hope that Jia Fu can find it as soon as possible, and there is really not much time left for him.
..........
The moonlight shone quietly on the Great Copper Mountain, and it was quiet for several miles.
Jia Fu stood quietly on the dirt mountain, behind him stood a team of sword-wielding guards, behind them was a group of soldiers with pickaxes who were digging the earth, these people were all brought by Jia Jue from Zhejiang Wei, they could be regarded as henchmen, and a few people on the side lit them with torches.
"Found it!"
I don't know how long it took, but there were cheers from the crowd.
Jia Fu immediately led a team of guards with knives to rush over from the side, and at a glance he saw the large wooden box that was slowly being carried up.
The most bitter thing in the past few days is Jia Fu, originally this drudgery should have fallen on Jia Gui, who had just returned from the capital, but unfortunately, he was cheap, and he mentioned the stupid overlord Xue Pan, which not only attracted Jia Gui's ridicule, but also reminded Jia Jue of his violation of the order, and in this way, the drudgery of finding and digging the treasure of the Bai family fell on himself.
In order not to cause trouble, I had to dig after midnight, but fortunately there was a treasure map, and it only took two nights to find the treasure place, and after a night of emergency excavation, I finally saw the boxes and boxes of treasure.
It is said that after the Ming Taizu became the emperor, he came to Tongshan and stopped to rest here, so people said that there is great luck here, but I don't know if the Bai family buried the treasure here to get a dip in the luck of luck, or wanted to use the treasure to breed the emperor's breath.
However, all this was cheaper for nothing.
Boxes of treasure were carried up, and the guards with knives stood in a solemn line on the side.
Jia Fu slowly stepped forward, circled around the pile of boxes like a hill, and looked at the soldiers who bowed their heads and were silent. ”
The soldiers were happy but silent, waiting for Jia Fu to continue.
Jia Fu nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "The money will be sent directly to your home, the reason, the settlement fee, your family will go to Shenjing to settle down, the third master has already bought a manor in Liangxiang, and distributed it according to the population, two acres of land per person, regardless of male and female babies." After giving birth to a baby, the same is true. ”
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said in a deep voice: "This is a reward, but if someone reveals the news, one will be counted as one today, and no one will survive, including our family." Did you hear that?! ”
The soldiers replied in a low voice: "Yes! ”
Jia Fu waved his hand, "Load." ”
A group of soldiers carried boxes and walked down the mountain, and at the foot of the mountain, a dozen carts lined up there.
.....
Jiangning County, Jiajia Manor.
In the early morning of the second day, Jia Jue, who got the news, rushed over under the escort of Jia Gui and others, and as soon as he entered the house, he was attracted by the boxes piled up in a hill.
As far as the eye could see, there were large mahogany boxes, and the front row of boxes had been opened.
Jia Jue approached, and an ingot of gold sparkled in the sun!
When you walk to the second box, you will see a box full of jewels that glows with colorful glow!
Jia Jue squinted and walked to the third box.....
Jia Fu walked over with an account book, Jia Jue turned around and flipped through it casually, 350,000 taels of silver, 80,000 taels of gold, and several boxes of jewelry, and counting the boxes of treasures he had intercepted from the Bai family's compound, he got at least 1.5 million taels of silver from the Bai family.
Murder and arson gold belt, the ancients did not deceive me!
Closing the account book, he whispered to Jia Fu: "The Xue family will sell most of Nanzhili's industries in the next two days, you pay attention to it, and find a way to get it without revealing your identity, regardless of whether the industry is profitable or not, you must spend the money as soon as possible." ”
said and smiled: "You don't have to worry, Uncle Zhong will be here in two days." ”
Jia Fu nodded, Jia Zhong was his father, stuffed the account book into his arms, and followed Jia Jue to the front hall.
