Chapter 56 I'll talk to you about salary, and you talk to me about feelings.
Seeing the faces of Li Mi and the others, Ji Jun knew that she was hopeless about asking for the seal for her uncle, Xi'er and herself this time.
But she still had the illusion that she might be able to give some reward, such as gold and silver, or that could be exchanged for gold and silver, such as jewels, such as brocade cloth......
Another example is farm production.
Ji Jun remembers reading the novel "Gone with the Wind" and the movie "Gone with the Wind", in which Scarlett's father has a classic line:
The land is the only thing in the world that is worth working for, fighting for, and dying for, because it is the only thing that lasts.
Now the uncle and the aunt are guarding the border, and they will be more than the two of them when they return from old age in the future.
Moreover, according to the uncle's temperament, he will definitely take care of those dead and disabled soldiers and their families.
The court's pension alone is certainly not enough.
Even with the addition of the uncle and the aunt's salary, it is a drop in the bucket.
This involves the issue of "open source and cost reduction", how to "open source"?
Ji Jun feels that the industry under his father's name belongs to the category of "financial management", and when he does business, there are profits and losses.
Moreover, the poisoning of the "good neighbor" gave Ji Jun a strong sense of crisis:
Accidents and tomorrow don't know which comes first.
This time, it's poisoning, and next time it may be "arson"!
When the time comes, not to mention that "good neighbors" can't make money, they will have to allocate funds from other places to deal with the aftermath of "good neighbors".
Therefore, these shops are currently looking very prosperous, but in Ji Yun's heart, there is always a particularly unstable and unsteady feeling.
It seems that in "Dream of Red Mansions", Qin Keqing gave Wang Xifeng a dream, and the things he instructed were really practical!
Didn't Qin Keqing say:
Taking advantage of today's wealth, more farms, houses, and acres of land will be placed near the ancestral shrine for sacrifice...... Even if you are guilty, you can enter the official property, but this sacrificial industry will not even enter the official.
In case of a "family defeat" in the Liguo Mansion as in the previous life, as long as the person is still there, there must be a place to live.
never thought that she just gave her uncle a letter of praise that said "serving the country with all your heart, and doing it in vain"!
Ji Jun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, because, not unexpectedly, and because he had no strength.
Ji Chen was very sad, she was more because Ji Jun had paid so much for Li Jiajun, the Liguo Mansion and her father.
But in the end, there was almost nothing!
What's more, you can't write two Ji with one stroke!
Ji Jun is qualified to be wronged, isn't she wronged?
Ji Xun really didn't know what to say to comfort Ji Jun.
She felt a deep sense of powerlessness and helplessness.
Zhou Huan is okay, his complexion is as calm as ever.
Zhou Biao couldn't suppress his anger, it seems that it is not impossible that there may be a quarrel.
Li Mi was very embarrassed and worried.
Looking at their faces, Ji Yun can also guess that the original words must be difficult to hear.
Ji Jun suddenly wanted to laugh, and remembered his previous life for no reason.
That year, due to the state of emergency, my girlfriend started to work on the second day of the first lunar month, and continued to work until the Dragon Boat Festival, without weekends. Shifts are held every three or four days.
Then, the unit rationed a box lunch, not given to her.
Those who are not on duty can take the lunch box and take it home.
Some people even opened it and saw that the food was not delicious, so they threw it directly into the trash.
When the girlfriend went to apply, it became "shallow-eyed", "gluttonous", and "calculating"!
And what is "ignoring the overall situation", "adding blockage to the leadership", "not letting go of the cheap at all", and so on.
The leaders also had a heartfelt message:
"Every month, the unit gives you a salary, and you can buy thousands of boxes of lunches! Why are you just staring at these lunch boxes? ”
Later, calculating the workload, the leader counted the number of "service" days of the girlfriend as a "blank"!
The leader said:
"The people on duty have a record of receiving boxed lunches, but you don't have them, so you're not on duty!"
In the end, it was reflected in the hall level by level before it was resolved.
My best friend was heartbroken.
At that time, Ji Jun didn't understand his girlfriend and felt that it wasn't worth it for this. It's not a huge sum of money.
But my girlfriend shook her head and disagreed:
"Even if it's a penny, I deserve it! They don't give it to me, it's their fault! It's them who abuse their power, it's they who oppress people with power, but it's not that I don't deserve it! ”
Ji Jun didn't look at everyone, his eyes looked away.
Anyone could see that she was unhappy, that she was uncomfortable.
However, her voice was able to ask calmly:
"What did the Lord of the War Department say?"
The Ministry of War is now managed by Chen Guogong, that is to say, Chen Guogong is the acting Shangshu.
Chen Guogong said:
"This official will never allow anyone to use the lives of thousands of soldiers to blackmail the court and seek benefits for himself!"
Chen Guogong Chen Zhuoxin said:
"General Ji, loyal to defend the country, why is the family so greedy and so calculating, doesn't it ruin the reputation of the Liguo Mansion and General Zhenyuan? This official reads his mere merchant girl, who does not know etiquette, does not understand state affairs, and does not care about it, if there is a next time, he will be severely punished! ”
Ji Yun scolded in his heart:
What a beep dog! I'll talk to you about salary, why don't you tell me about your feelings!
My contribution to thousands of soldiers is worthless! I don't want anything!
You love so much, why don't you resign from the title of Duke Chen Guo, or donate all your net worth!
Why did you raise more than 30 concubines and concubines, and give birth to so many concubines and concubines!
Your concubine plus the room plus the children are all a strengthened connection, okay?
How much food you have to eat!
"Smack!" A tear fell on the back of his hand.
Somehow, in an instant, Ji Yun's heart was like a knife.
I don't know if it's for the past life that I can't go back to, for the best friend who can't understand it at the time, and now empathizes, or for the sake of myself now......
On the smiling face, smiling and smiling, tears flowed down uncontrollably.
"Cousin!" Ji Yi choked up, and then tears flowed down.
"Cousin!" Li Mi exclaimed.
Raising his hand, Ji Jun said that he was fine.
She quickly wiped away her tears, turned around and smiled:
"The eldest prince, the two princes, let's talk about Chen Guogong!"
Zhou Huan and Zhou Biao glanced at each other, and a hint of surprise flashed.
Ji Jun took a deep breath and said with a smile:
"Chen Guogong, I heard that the year has passed. Let me guess who he is, he is in the court, well-dressed, and sitting precariously. But in fact, he was sanctimonious and posturing. ”
Zhou Biao blurted out:
"How do you know? What did you tell your cousin? ”
Ji Chen glanced at Zhou Biao with dissatisfaction and said:
"How do I know that! Not what I said! ”
Ji Jun then said slowly:
"Chen Zhuoxin is a person who likes stinky beauty, and pursues extreme delicacy in his clothes, preferably a unique fabric, and the pattern must be different! The embroiderer, embroiderer, or tailor who makes clothes for him can only serve him alone, even if he is the most favorite, or even his favorite wife or concubine, or his favorite children. ”
Zhou Huan nodded, his expression was indifferent, but there was a light of surprise in his eyes:
"That's true!"
Ji Jun nodded lightly at Zhou Huan, expressing his gratitude for his response, and continued:
"He likes luxury, he likes to enjoy, and he is pretentious, and in his eyes, everyone is vulgar and the world is hateful."
Zhou Biao nodded again and again:
"How do you look like you see him! Not really! His carriage had to be decorated with gold, silver, and jewelry. And, once, take a sip of tea and change the cup once! After washing his hands, he can't wipe them with a handkerchief, and he needs a few servants to dry them! Later, it was the saint who couldn't see it, and he lectured him a few words, and he restrained a little! ”
Ji Jun was encouraged, and continued:
"He has a solitary arrogance. I think that he is not as talented as he is good-looking, and those who are talented are not as high as him. The high status is not as suave as him. The suave one is not as detached as he is temperamental. In short, in this world, only he is the most outstanding and the most qualified to stand out from the crowd. ”
Li Mi saw that Ji Yun was speaking more and more fluently, his emotions became calm and comfortable, and his secretly hanging heart gradually let go.
Li Mi smiled and continued:
"You're right! Chen Guogong is as you say. So? ”
Ji Jun spread his hands and looked resigned:
"Chen Guogong is jealous of you like this, and you are going to ask for a seal for me, so I will naturally be affected!"
Zhou Huan and Li Mi thought for a while, and suddenly understood.
Ji Xi was still a little puzzled and asked:
"Jealous of the big cousins?"
Li Mi thought about it and explained:
"Chen Guogong is a concubine, and because of the early death of his brother-in-law, he was able to inherit the title. He always felt that outsiders laughed at him for inheriting the title and the name was not right, and even came from the wrong way. Moreover, he has no military merits, and second, he has not made any achievements in the court, and since he took office in the Ministry of War, there have been repeated leaks of military information, and many ministers have impeached him for this, because he has always been in charge. Big cousin, is that what you mean? ”
Not to mention anything else, since Zhou Huan was appointed as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he has solved a lot of big cases.
Zhou Biao is now a "four-grade imperial guard", and he has done a lot of things for the emperor openly and secretly.
Although Li Mi did not lead the troops, he has been in charge of the logistics of the Li family's army in the capital, and the armaments and materials are all in good order.
Ji Jun bowed his head at Li Mi, revealing a smile that an old gentleman likes to improve his talents!
I secretly praise it in my heart, well, it's a talent that can be created, and it's easy to do it!
Zhou Biao looked at the two of them, suddenly had some bad thoughts, and said with a smile:
"Hey, I said, eldest cousin, it can't be that someone has sent you a message, so you are pretending to be advanced here, right?"
Ji Jun "cut" and said disdainfully:
"As far as Chen Guogong's scum, is it worth asking me about him? Haven't eaten pork, haven't seen a pig run? ”
Zhou Biao pouted:
"Say Chen Guogong, what are you doing with fat pigs?"
"Cousin Shizi." Ji Chen couldn't help laughing and gently reminded:
"What my cousin means is that I have met the same person as Chen Guogong before, so I know a little more."
"That's right!" Ji Jun shook his head and sighed:
"Otherwise, people are a family! Cousin cousin, break the bones and connect the tendons! You! Far from it! ”
Ji Jun secretly gave Ji Xun a thumbs up again, this is also Bing Xue smart!
I just remembered the disgusting leaders in my previous life, but I didn't expect to apply their character and behavior to Chen Zhuoxin's body, and it would fit very well!
Hey? This seems to be a "psychological profile", right?
Zhou Biao was angry and unwilling:
"I thought you could have something amazing, and I thought it could be related to your family's prosperity and fortune! That's it, it's not interesting! ”
Ji Yun's mood has gradually improved at this time.
Forgot for a moment, stepped forward and patted Zhou Biao's shoulder with a "snap", and said with the northeast accent in the sketch:
"Oh my god! Big brother, how do you know the truth? It really has something to do with our family's prosperity! Are you qualified? Chen Guogong's name is Chen Zhuoxin, and the person who cleaned up the manure for my family's prosperity is called Chen Zhuoxin, maybe it's a buddy, what do you (say) four (yes)? ”
This time, Ji Jun deliberately used a lot of energy, Zhou Biao knew martial arts, of course, he didn't think so.
But with bared teeth and grinning.
Ji Xi smiled for a while.
However, Li Mi sank his face on the side.
Zhou Biao was a little interested:
"How is that a name!"
Ji Jun later pretended to inadvertently learn about the original body's previous life experience with Peony. I think people may call it "Chen Anxious", but the locals have an accent, so it is called "Chen Zhuojiao".
"Are you talking about Uncle Chen?" Peony came in with the fruit, and when she heard this, she continued:
"Because Uncle Chen turned out to be a chicken catcher! Catch pheasants in the mountains all day long! It's called Chen Catching Chicken! ”
Zhou Biao came to be interested:
"It's good to catch pheasants, why do you go to sweep up the dung for Wangcai?"
Peony medicine is naturally authentic:
"The pheasants have been caught by Wangcai, Uncle Chen can't catch them, and he has nothing to eat, so he goes to sweep the dung for Wangcai, there is food to eat, and there are chickens, so there is no need to work hard!"
"Oh! That's right" Zhou Biao suddenly realized:
"Wangcai is faster than your young lady to learn martial arts, of course she can catch pheasants!"
Ji Jun, "......"
Shoot yourself in the foot, right?
Li Mi saw that Ji Jun couldn't get off the stage, so he picked up an apple and smashed Zhou Biao's head:
"Is there such a metaphor?"
Zhou Biao covered his head and was aggrieved:
"You hit me too! You're all bullying me! ”
Peony's eyes shine:
"Big cousin, you are becoming more and more like Wangcai! Whoever bullies my young lady, Wangcai will pat his head with his paws! Next time, don't forget to apple! Directly with that hand! ”
