"Ning Fu also borrowed money from the treasury, or 200,000 taels?" After reading Jia Yu's copy of the IOU and looking at the other IOU, Jia Lian felt very depressed.

Jia Yu's five thousand taels of silver was almost a drop in the bucket in the face of this huge loan from the Ning Mansion. But why is there no record of Ningfu in the original work?

Jia Yu was forced to sell his daughter for five thousand taels of silver, and the situation of Ning Mansion was not as good as that of Rong Mansion, how did he pay back this money? Jia Lian was curious.

Of course, what Jia Lian wants to know more is, what is Jia Jing used for these 200,000 taels of silver?

After Wuyu and Wu Cheng left, the more Jia Lian thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still, so he went out of the mansion overnight and went to the Lin Mansion.

"Why are you here so late?" Now that I come to the Lin Mansion again, I naturally can't see Lin Daiyu. So Jia Lian didn't even go to the backyard, and waited directly in Lin Ruhai's outer study.

"Uncle, is Fat Sun already going to do it?" Jia Lian's answer to the question made Lin Ruhai stunned.

"It should be, in the cabinet meeting after the court this morning, the household department proposed to clean up the arrears of the treasury, which was strongly supported by the first assistant, and the second assistant did not object, and it was probably about to go to the court meeting."

Lin Ruhai first answered Jia Lian's question, and then asked: "What are you busy with during this time, you can't see you in the early dynasty and the cabinet meeting?" ”

"It's not those bad things, I took care of a lot of things last year, and now they are all at a critical juncture, and I have to keep an eye on them. Moreover, the Japanese slaves are eyeing Liaodong and Korea, and Hongroji Temple has just sent someone to Edo, so I have to keep an eye on it as well. Jia Lian was also a little distressed, because Honglu Temple or himself now took on a lot of secrets, most of which bypassed the cabinet and military planes and went directly to the imperial front, so it was true that he hadn't been to the court for more than half a month.

As for the cabinet meeting attended by the cabinet bigwigs and important ministers of Jiuqing, I haven't been there for a long time.

"I'm not a serious Honglu Siqing, I am real but nameless, I can hide if I can be lazy." Jia Lian smiled.

"Then you probably won't be able to hide for long." Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Lian with a smile.

"How?" Jia Lian suddenly became serious. I think something is going to happen.

"Today's cabinet meeting, there is a proposal that the position of the Honglu Temple Secretary has been pending for a long time, which is not conducive to the country's major policies, and the cabinet and the Ministry of Officials are required to determine the official candidate for the Honglu Temple Secretary as soon as possible."

Hearing Lin Ruhai's words, Jia Lian's eyes narrowed, and his whole body exuded a dangerous aura: "Okay, I'm not doing well, someone is actually eyeing me." This is because I think I'm a bully. ”

"No, people said, you are young and shallow, it is barely suitable to be a Shaoqing, and you officially become the Honglu Temple Qing, ranking in the position of Jiuqing, which is not very suitable."

Jia Lian's mind quickly selected the person who might compete with him for the position of Honglu Temple, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Lin Naichao? ”

Lin Ruhai nodded approvingly, Jia Lian is really mature and knows how to consider problems fundamentally.

Although Jia Lian has not been in charge of Honglu Temple for a long time, his ability is not weaker than that of any previous temple secretary. Coupled with catching up with Xu to file a case, the current personnel of Honglu Temple, especially the middle and senior officials above the record of joining the army, have almost all been convinced by Jia Lian.

In this case, if you want to go down the mountain to pick fruits, if you don't arrange a person with weight, it is not even possible to say whether you have helped him or harmed him.

Lin Naichao is such a very capable person. Not to mention decades of outstanding political achievements, and the people standing behind him are enough to be feared.

The former first assistant Xu Yuan is Lin Naichao's benefactor.

Although most of the people in the officialdom are people who go to tea and cool. But if you go to such a prominent position as the cabinet and the military aircraft, it is a different matter.

Most of those who become cabinets or military aircraft are top figures among Da Zheng officials and generals. And especially in the cabinet.

After all, the major events of military aircraft in Dazheng often need to rely on the martial arts generals that have been inherited since the founding of the country. Although since Yong'an, he has spared no effort to promote non-honored generals who are ordinary sergeants in the army, and began to work hard to control the influence of the honorable group in the army.

But the Dazheng royal family was still rational after all, and the situation faced by the country did not allow them to make such a self-defeating act as the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, most of the three major Beijing Guards, the eight border armies, and the important standing armies in China are still in the hands of the two nobles of the founding and Jingning lines.

A general from a civilian background, unless he marries a nobleman, it is very difficult to get ahead.

The cabinet is different, since the founding of the country, Da Zheng has paid great attention to limiting the expansion of the power of the civilian clique.

Not only did the Son of Heaven of all dynasties keep in mind the ancestral precept left by Emperor Taizu not to indiscriminately open Enke, which is a regular course once every three years, and the number of Jinshi admitted is not only far inferior to that of the Song and Ming dynasties in history, but also compared with the Zhou Dynasty.

In addition, when selecting officials, Da Zheng paid great attention to promoting poor officials with innocent backgrounds. Especially in the Long Zheng Dynasty, this situation is very prominent.

Therefore, those who can go to the position of the cabinet and Jiuqing are all outstanding people in the world.

Xu Yuan was in charge of Wenchen Niu'er in the Yongan Dynasty, and he went through three dynasties, and the two masters were the first and auxiliary for nearly 20 years. The deep political connections and heritage he left behind are enough to ensure that he can maintain a strong influence on the court even if he leaves office.

"Is it really a formidable opponent? What did Grandpa say? Jia Lian pressed his eyebrows and asked Lin Ruhai.

Once Lin Naichao becomes the secretary of Honglu Temple, without such a powerful background and capable cadre in charge of Shenjing Mansion, it is very likely that the Chen family, who has been working in Shenjing Mansion for decades, will regain control of Shenjing Mansion again.

"What do you think?"

Lin Ruhai's words made Jia Lian feel that Chen Menglei had made a decision. Although it is not bad to know this, taking back the Shenjing Mansion will not play a small role in the future layout of Emperor Longzheng.

And even if Lin Naichao really arrived at Honglu Temple, Jia Lian didn't feel that he would be suppressed by him. At most, some things are not as easy to do as they used to be. But Jia Lian just felt uncomfortable.

"Hahaha, look at your face, do you think Chen Lao has compromised?" Lin Ruhai saw Jia Lian's expression and decided not to tease him.

Jia Lian looked at Lin Ruhai, who was smiling very happily, speechlessly: "Uncle, what's going on, can you explain the matter?" ”

"There was indeed this motion, and the first assistant was also pushed to agree to the court. But I don't think they have a chance of winning, so I don't understand what they're doing this for. Only then did Lin Ruhai reveal his true thoughts and express his true worries.

Indeed, as a high-ranking official, this uncontrollable unknown situation is undoubtedly the most dangerous.
