Under the advice of Xue Pan and the others, Aunt Xue finally understood that she had done something stupid.

In fact, Aunt Xue didn't have any idea of doing this. It's just that he thinks that his maiden brother won't harm him. Second, my husband once said: eggs can't be put in the same basket.

Today's Xue family is too close to the Jia family. Fengzihao seems to be independent, but in fact it has been driven by Xue Baochai to merge into Shunzihao. Xue Pan is not a weapon, and even the big seal of the head of the Xue family is in Jia Lian's hands.

Jia Lian and the Xue family are fine during the honeymoon period, if Jia Lian and the Xue family turn their faces in the future, then the Xue family will not be finished.

Xue Baochai had already roughly understood Aunt Xue's thoughts. Baochai, who has been in control of such a big business for more than two years, has already experienced it. It's just that she doesn't know what Wang Ziteng's idea is.

In any case, Jia Lian is inferior to him, and no matter how he is, it is impossible to replace his influence. Wouldn't it be good for the younger generation of the four major families to have brilliant people to support the façade.

Baochai is a person in the inner house in the end, and he doesn't understand the political disputes in the court.

"In this way, we have offended the Jia family. offended Lian'er and the old lady. Aunt Xue also realized it later: "Yes, although the old lady looks normal these days. But I was never left to eat again. ”

"Look, look, Mom, can't you just not toss? Is it too comfortable to live a good life? If you do this, how will your sister marry into the Jia family in the future, and let her deal with herself? ”

Xue Baochai was relieved to hear his brother rarely say a few words of understanding. However, he still said with a sad expression: "Why did you marry into the Jia family, although I don't know why, but I can be sure that my uncle must be on the opposite side of the second brother."

Now that my mother has taken this step, how can I still have the face to marry into the Jia family and marry the second brother. ”

"That's foolishness!" A crisp voice rang out from outside the door. The mother and son, who were sad together, were startled.

"Sister Feng!" After all, Xue Baochai has been serving as a housekeeper with Wang Xifeng all the year round, so he is very familiar with Wang Xifeng's voice.

Sure enough, Wang Xifeng pushed open the door and walked in.

Wang Xifeng himself was not obvious, as if it was a glorious thing to eavesdrop on the conversation between the mother and daughter of the Xue family outside. However, Ping'er, who was following behind Wang Xifeng, was a little red.

"Auntie, you're confused." Wang Xifeng didn't give Aunt Xue a good face for the elder, and directly began to bombard.

Jia Lian didn't think so much about his family's affairs at this time, he was a little dumbfounded in the face of the red-eyed Emperor Longzheng and the bigwigs of the cabinet and military aircraft.

Jia Lian wanted to say that he only knew that there were only two cases of large-scale slaughter of cattle and sheep in late summer and early autumn on the grassland. One is the disaster, there is not enough water and grass, and I really can't afford to raise so many cattle and sheep, and the other is that there are too many cattle and sheep slaughtered in the previous year, and I can't afford to raise them.

According to the situation of cattle and sheep that Qing'er saw and Jia Lian's own news, it is obvious that this time it should be the second situation.

So since there are a lot of cattle and sheep, the Mongols have the ability to transport cattle and sheep to Shenjing to sell after all, after all, only a few, and most of them must still be in the grassland. Da Zheng himself sent someone to the grassland to buy it.

With the aftermath of the great victory in Northern Xinjiang more than two years ago, Jia Lian felt that at least Southern Mongolia and Eastern Mongolia should not have the courage to refuse Da Zheng's caravan. Moreover, since there are too many cattle and sheep, will there be fewer war horses?

Although there are many war horses in the Dazheng army, it seems that there is no shortage of war horses. But Jia Lian, a formed cavalry unit, didn't see much. So Jia Lian thought of buying a war horse again.

But Jia Lian didn't expect the impact of his ideas on today's Da Zheng.

In fact, Da Zheng is not short of war horses, but very short of war horses. Dazheng was the first dynasty in China to unify from south to north for thousands of years. In the beginning, it relied on infantry and sailors.

War horses are a very rare thing for Da Zheng, who started in Jiangnan. It was precisely because it was very difficult to face the cavalry of the Zhou people that Da Zheng began to equip himself with artillery, crossbows and firearms.

However, with the fall of the Zhou Dynasty, Da Zheng took over the huge legacy of the Zhou Dynasty. The demand for war horses has eased for the time being.

However, because Liaodong failed to assess, the grassland was not very stable. The source of war horses that was originally the Great Zhou Ranch was cut off by half. As a result, there was an extreme shortage of war horses in the Great Zheng army.

This is very clear even to Lin Ruhai, a civil servant. So as soon as he heard Jia Lian say that there was a way to get a war horse, he immediately pulled him into the palace overnight.

As Jiuqing-level officials, Jia Lian and Lin Ruhai both have the power to detain que, but they don't use it much.

Emperor Longzheng had already planned to go to Concubine Wu of Chuxiu Palace to rest. was told that Lin Ruhai and Jia Lian were detained, thinking that something had happened, so they stayed again. Send someone to tell Chu Xiu Palace that there is no need to wait.

Then, within half an hour, several envoys were sent from the imperial city to summon all the cabinet and military aircraft to Daming Palace.

Jia Lian looked at Lin Ruhai with some resentment, the matter is so big, what do you want me to do?

Lin Ruhai also understood that he and Emperor Long Zheng were too excited just now. Just listened to Jia Lian's idea, and directly summoned the ministers and military planes.

"My lords, that's the way it is. Because these beef jerky were found in Nishishi, there were follow-up things. Jia Lian had no choice but to tell the matter back and forth again.

"In other words, you plan to send people into the grasslands to buy ploughing cattle and war horses. You must know that even when Da Zheng's military power was at its peak, the grassland people would not be willing to sell their war horses to Da Zheng. Shoufu Hanfeng opened his mouth first, he is now in charge of the military department, and he is still relatively familiar with military affairs.

"Hehe, Shousuke-sama, if I say it all by mouth, I naturally have no way to prove it.

I need to send someone to investigate the grassland before making a decision, but since the grassland can bring thousands of cattle to the Central Plains by itself, it is difficult to say if you want to come to the war horse, and it is no problem to buy a large number of cattle. ”

Han Rui'an, the bachelor in charge of the household department, also said at this time: "If you can buy a ploughing cow, the old man will coordinate, how much money do you spend and how much does the household department make up for you." ”

Jia Lian shook his head: "Elder Han Ge, this is not how things work. The household department has to pay first, otherwise I can't do this job. ”

"How can this be reasonable, how can there be a reason to pay before something is done. Even when Rongguo arrived, the old man didn't agree," of course Han Ruian didn't want to. He was originally a Jinshi in the Jingning period, and he had a relationship with Jia Daishan. Yong'an was promoted to the cabinet, and the emperor was still alive, he was reluctant to intervene in the battle for succession, and the reason why he was willing to come forward to say this was only because he knew the importance of plowing cattle. I didn't expect Jia Lian, this little bastard, to make inches.

"Han Ge Lao said this strangely, there is no money, what will I do to let the herdsmen give me cattle and horses. Either you say that the emperor can give me 100,000 troops. Without spending a penny, I will bring endless cattle and sheep to the court. Jia Lian pursed his lips, feeling that Old Man Han was just playing a scoundrel.

"Presumptuous", Chen Menglei stood up: "That's how you talked to Lord Han?" Jia Lian's words were too ruthless, Chen Menglei had already seen the military aircraft that were eager to try, and he didn't dare to let the military planes think that the cabinet was willing to raise swords for these cattle, sheep and horses.

"Chen Xiang, this is unreasonable. A cow was sold for dozens of taels of silver in Shenjing, and a horse was even more than a hundred taels. It's okay if I buy some for myself and come back to eat.

This is on behalf of the imperial court to buy, and the quantity will not be less. With such a large sum of money, I can't afford to pay it myself. ”

Chen Menglei was speechless for a while, he couldn't say it, just let Jia Lian take care of it first. This business that started with millions of taels of silver, even if it can be raised, it can't be cushioned.

When Emperor Long Zheng saw this, he felt that he couldn't discuss anything. Jia Lian also said that he still needs to send someone into the grassland to investigate first.

"That's all for now. Tomorrow the day will be dismissed, and the day after tomorrow will be discussed in the morning. Emperor Long Zheng waved his hand.

"Jia Lian stays."
