Chapter 26 Contingencies

Leaving the Qianqing Palace, Jia Jue's mind was still a little dizzy, the emperor was determined to dismantle the Beijing battalion, this is not counted, he also wanted to take this opportunity to disperse the Shenji battalion, you know, the Shenji battalion is the only unit in Shenjing with firearms, including 4,000 firearms, 600 gunners, equipped with 160 field heavy artillery, 200 Dalian bead guns, and 400 sword and shield men who defend the artillery position, in addition to a thousand cavalry, plus some miscellaneous servants, the Shenji battalion has nearly 10,000 people.

Such a formed firearms unit, Emperor Tianyou actually wanted to dismantle it, but thinking that the Shenji Battalion was in the hands of the Zhongshun Palace, Jia Jue was secretly happy, the reorganization plan has not yet come out, but Emperor Tianyou promised that his 3,000 battalions would remain unchanged, and even at that time, he could expand his own strength to 5,000 on this basis, if this is the case, he plans to expand all the extra 2,000 men and horses into firearms, as for the cavalry, that thing is too expensive, and the military department will definitely not agree.

Thinking that I can lead the army into a camp alone is exciting!

However, he received a new official position, the military department Langzhong, no official title, no need to go to the government, is the fifth grade, one level higher than Jia Zheng, and has one more salary.

If you don't have a title, you naturally don't need to report to the military department, and just as the banquet was still going on, Jia Jue left the imperial city and turned over his horse, and galloped quickly to Xicheng.

Half an hour later, a message came out of the imperial city, the emperor summoned the cabinet and the officials of the six ministries, as well as the king of Shu and the king of Liang, in the upper study, and said one thing, the treasury owed silver, and there were two account books on the imperial case, which recorded who owed the treasury how much silver and when.

In front of the courtiers, Emperor Tianyou directly clarified the relationship between the King of Shu and the King of Liang and the supporters behind them, and asked them to take care of their own people.

In order not to affect the normal affairs of the court, the officials below the fifth grade who are really poor are not in the list of this recovery, hehe, this move can be described as very clever, that is, to give those officials who are really in difficulty a way to live and ensure the normal operation of the imperial court, because it is these low-level officials who really do things, and the ministers of the six ministries and nine secretaries and cabinet ministers are to discuss some major matters and put forward feasible and effective suggestions to the emperor.

The affairs of the court are always a topic of interest, and the news soon spread all over the Shenjing City, with wine shops, teahouses, streets and alleys, people talked about it with relish, and soon, the news also spread to the Jia family.

In the Rongxi Hall, Jia Yu, Jia Zheng and Jia Jue are talking about Wang Ziteng's affairs, I have to say, Wang Ziteng is indeed too reckless, this is good, Emperor Tianyou has made up his mind to dismantle the Beijing camp, without the Beijing camp, what else will he do to make the Beijing camp, yes, now he doesn't have to worry about standing on the opposite side of the nobles, and I don't know what kind of expression he will have when he gets the news.

Jia Zheng sat on the chair at the top with a straight face, and Jia Yu on the side smiled and said: "This prince Teng, his ambition is boundless, but his ability is insufficient, after so many years, he has not made any progress, Jingying has been in his hands for so many years, and it is still the same, if it were me, I would have resigned and gone home to retire." ”

Speaking of this, he said to Jia Zheng again: "Second brother, the family's money is almost used by the Wang family, right?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Jia Zheng's expression changed slightly and he was silent.

Jia Jue, who had been eating melons, was shocked, looked at Jia Zheng, who was silent, and then looked at Jia Yu, and his thoughts were churning and stirring.

, no wonder the Rongguo Mansion declined so quickly, and finally fell to pawning things to live, and it turned out that the money was all sent to the Wang family.

Looking at Jia Jue's face of disbelief, Jia Yu laughed and said: "Don't worry, the most precious thing in the Jia family is the connections, these things are firmly in the hands of the old lady, except for the Lin family's affairs two years ago, the rest are still there, you kid fight for Lao Tzu, and when you get the hereditary title, Lao Tzu will give the title to Lan'er and move to live with you, and the province will nest in that small courtyard all day long, nest." ”

"Big brother, it's all a family, what are you doing with these things all the time!"

Jia Zheng was a little dissatisfied.

The words of the two made Jia Jue scratch his head, Jia Yu smiled faintly and said: "Rongfu is a division of the family, the big house only got a title, the industry is in the second room, and the Rongguo Mansion is also an industry, this family is naturally the second room, over the years, don't you think of Rongfu as a family?" ”

Jia Zheng's face was red and white, and he said depressedly: "This is what my mother meant." ”

Jia Zheng's rebuttal was so pale and weak, and Jia Yu on the side sneered unceremoniously: "Mother didn't let you send all the money to the Wang family. ”

Jia Zheng's old face turned red, his clenched hands trembled slightly, and he was quite dissatisfied with Wang Ziteng in his heart, in recent years, in order to support Wang Ziteng to come to power, the second room has indeed supported a lot of money, these are not a secret in the Jia family, the old lady has turned a blind eye, after all, the Wang family is really up, and it can also help the Jia family, even if it only helps the second room, it is also beneficial to the Jia family, or that sentence, the problem that can be solved with silver is not a problem.

But who knows, Wang Ziteng is so incompetent, the Jia family has put in nearly 300,000 taels, plus the Wang family's own money, he has no achievements, so much silver can be piled up together to create a small mountain, such a thing makes Jia Yu shake it up in front of his juniors, how can he not feel ashamed?

"You don't have to worry either."

Jia Yu smiled indifferently, "These are the second room's own affairs, I won't care, and I won't say it to the outside world, just let Jue'er have a number in her heart, and everyone will be disgraced in the future, after all, the old lady is not young." ”

Hearing this, Jia Zheng's face softened a little, but when he saw Jia Zheng with a surprised face, his expression was quite embarrassed.

Jia Jue was understanding, and said with a smile: "Uncle's situation is not so serious, after all, he still has some weight in His Majesty's heart, and it is estimated that other titles will be arranged." ”

Speaking of this, he smiled again: "What, I forgot to say it, Your Majesty agreed to Uncle Niu's recommendation excerpt, and let me hang up an idle position in the military department. ”

Jia Yu smiled, and saw Jia Zheng's embarrassed look, so he waved his hand and said, "What are you competing with the younger generation?" Besides, the two of you are in a different situation, but then again, you are going to Dajingcha again a year ago, and you should be able to upgrade to half a grade. ”

Jia Zheng was extremely depressed, but he still nodded.

Jia Jue got up and added new tea to the two uncles, and asked Jia Yu: "The second brother is married, the master should have borrowed a lot of silver from the household department, right?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Jia Yu suddenly lost his good mood, he snorted, and said to Jia Yu: "I borrowed 120,000 taels." ”

Jia Zheng was stunned, and he asked with some puzzlement: "Why did you borrow so much?" ”

Jia Yu couldn't help frowning, and asked Jia Zhengdao: "You don't know?" ”

"Humph! Bold. ”

Jia Zheng shouted angrily, "Someone! ”

Immediately rushed in the two small guys, Jia Yu waved his hand, "Get out." ”

The two little guys looked at Jia Zheng puzzled, and Jia Zheng also reacted at this time and waved his hand, "Go down." ”

"Yes!"

Looking at the distant backs of the two little guys, Jia Zheng sighed deeply, understanding that this must be the ghost of the Wang family, but he couldn't help it.

After pondering for a while, Jia Zhengfang said: "There is not much money in the public account, but 350,000 yuan can still be made up, I will let Lian'er go to the account to withdraw 50,000 yuan, this is a little bit of my heart." ”

Jia Yu raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "Rules are rules, and they can't be broken." Besides, I have a good son. ”

As he spoke, he leaned forward slightly and said to Jia Jue: "Lao Tzu knows that your kid is rich, and you will pay back the money." ”

Jia Jue smiled dumbly, stood up and said to Jia Yu: "Don't worry, master. ”

"Second child, how's it going?"

Jia Yu said lightly, so that Jia Zheng had nothing to say.

At this time, Jia Lian rushed in sweating profusely, and he didn't care about Jia Yu's ugly face, and said urgently: "Third brother, save your sister-in-law." ”

Jia Jue was startled and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Jia Lian handed the case file in his hand to Jia Jue, "This is sent by Yin Zhang Jiacheng of Shuntian Mansion, someone reported that our family put Yinzi money, Lai Wang'er was caught red-handed, the person who sent the letter said, let me hurry up and think of countermeasures, the other party is obviously not good." ”

Jia Yu strode over, snatched the case file in Jia Lian's hand, looked at it, changed color, slapped Jia Lian in the face, and shouted: "Evil obstacles! Lao Tzu has only lived a good life for two days, and you are causing trouble everywhere. ”

Jia Jue looked at Jia Lian first, and said to Jia Yu: "It should be the Zhongshun Palace, this is coming for me." ”

The three of them looked at each other.
