Pear blossom courtyard, the light moon and clouds are raining at the beginning.

A pillow of light cold, dreaming of Xiyao Xiaodao Mountain.

The flowers are deep and quiet, and the curtain locks the fragrance and the day is eternal.

The red medicine is dry, and the jade case is in the spring breeze.

A night of light rain moistens the day, the palace people in the Dragon Head Palace are cleaning the petals blown off by the wind and rain last night, and two cats, one big and one small, are lying on the shore on the edge of the Taiye Pool, and the target is the koi playing in the water.

Dai Quan helped the old man out of the Imperial Palace, and the slightly earthy breeze blew lightly, which made people feel a lot sober.

Liu Ji looked at the sky beyond the red walls and green tiles, and suddenly instructed Dai Quan: "This year's rain will be more than last year's, although it will help spring planting, but we should also be careful of the early summer flood. You have someone tell the fourth child and ask him to send someone to go around the Yellow River embankment......

"Ahhhh......h

The cat walked the cat, and the general of Huwei, Da Meow, was having a good time, and suddenly saw Liu Ji looking out from the railing, and dragged Jia Cong to the front of the hall with a flick of his long tail.

The half-big cat is as strong as a calf, even if the little fat man has been boiling his body with various medicinal diets and medicinal baths since he was a child, he has not been able to pull it down.

By the time the big cat ran to the Emperor, Jia Cong had already turned into a mud monkey.

Jia Cong looked at the golden gradient of the flower arm tattoo that kept rubbing around on the side of the emperor's leg, pounced over and broke his head, and pulled his ear and said, "You licking dog...... No, lick the! You licking cat, I have been fed and walked by you these days, and when I saw the saint, I threw me, the shoveler, aside."

The tattoo was really full of confidence, tilting his head and looking at the little fat man in front of him for a while, the long tail of the big cat flicked around, and finally saw that it was pitiful, turned over and exposed his belly, and whined twice.

The big wet eyes flickered twice, as if to say: shovel, come and stroke, just be in the mood for two strokes!

Who can say no to a cat that is so big?

Sure enough, the soft belly relieved a thousand hatreds. The little fat man stroked the cat with satisfaction, revealing an idiot expression.

The palace people moved rocking chairs, spread soft blankets, incense tea, and the emperor went up, and the entire Longshou Palace became leisurely and elegant.

"Little fat man, have you done your homework yesterday? Carry it back and let me hear it."

Hearing the old man's words, Jia Cong's face immediately collapsed.

He quietly flipped his sleeve through to reveal the inner cheat sheet, glanced at it before he began to recite it.

"The so-called peaceful world is governing the country, the old and the people are filial piety, the people are long and the people are prosperous, and the people are lonely, and the people are not doubled, which is the way of a gentleman.

Belch...... What is evil is from above, do not make it down, and what is evil is from below, do not use it from above; The evil is in the first place, not in the first order; What is evil is in the after, not in the past; What is evil to the right is not to be handed over to the left; What is evil on the left, not on the right; This is called the way of order......

Dai Shan's grandson really has a virtue with him, Tao!

Liu Ji pretended not to see the little fat man peeking at the cheat sheet, and suddenly interrupted the recitation and asked, "Tell me what this means?"

It's overclass!

Jia Cong's body stiffened, and he replied with a dry smile, "Sage Master, I just memorized it...... Uh, yes, just memorized."

"Really? Huh."

Liu Ji raised his hand and pulled Jia Cong's sleeve, turned out the cheat sheet that was entrained, and threw it away, and the results of Jia Cong's struggle for half an hour last night went away with the wind.

….

I saw the Emperor smile and said, "Continue to recite."

Old man, you don't talk about martial arts!

The little fat man is now a Muggle, and he continues to retort: "The poem cloud: 'Happy gentlemen, parents of the people. ，

What is good for the people, and what is evil for the people, this is the parents of the people.

"Poetry" cloud: 'Jiebi South Mountain, meow. Hehe Shiyin, meow ......, uh...... Meow ......"

Syllable!

Liu Ji listened to this string of meows, raised his hand and slapped the little fat man's head.

"Go back today and copy this ten times!"

Immediately after that, he began to talk to Jia Cong again

Lesson: "The so-called "The Way of Discipline" is to emphasize the exemplary role of leading by example. For example, Confucius said to Ji Kangzi that the virtue of those in power is like the wind, and the virtue of the common people is like grass, as long as the wind blows on the grass, the grass will inevitably fall with the wind."

"The way of the world and the hearts of the people, up and down. The key is to see what you say, what you promote, and what you do. The power of example is endless, and the power of leadership is immeasurable. Therefore, to be a politician, you must have a proper way......

This lecture is an hour, and the old man's experience is so extensive that even the teacher Xu Jin can't compare.

I saw that the Emperor Taishang drank all the tea in the cup, and concluded: "There are no more than five points in governing the country in the world, one of which is that a gentleman should have a proper way; Second, if you win the people, you will win the country, and if you lose the people, you will lose the country; Third, the virtue of the financial future; Fourth, only benevolent people can love others and evil people; Finally, the kingdom does not take profit for profit, but for righteousness."

Jia Cong listened extremely seriously and couldn't stop nodding.

The Emperor suddenly asked, "Just like your father-in-law, Lin Ruhai, this time I asked him to go south to implement the new salt law, what do you think it is for?"

Jia Cong thought for a while and replied: "Eliminate the disadvantages of salt politics, crack down on illegal salt merchants, and increase the income of the imperial court."

"That's not right."

The old man shook his head and said leisurely, "Actually, my idea is very simple, so that the common people can afford to eat salt!"

People can't do without salt, but the price of salt is so high that many people can only buy green salt, soil salt and nitrate.

The green salt is fine, at least it won't poison people. But soil salt and nitrate are different, which are prepared from alkaline soil in saline-alkali land or from nitrate.

The salt prepared by these two methods is complex in composition, not a complete salt (sodium chloride) component, but a variety of salts containing sodium components, such as sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium nitrate, sodium nitrite, and sodium chloride.

The quality of this home-made salt is certainly not as good as that of pure table salt, and sometimes it will eat the dead. But the poor people can't help it, they have a little strength to eat, and they can still farm and work to get some food, talk about their stomachs, and survive for a long time.

Why did Liu Ji go to Jiangnan six times in the first place? One of the biggest reasons is to deter the salt merchants of the two Huai and Zhejiang, but it is a pity that the salt production method limits the output of salt, and relying on force to deter is only a symptom but not a root cause.

It wasn't until Lin Ruhai's excerpt of the salt drying method that he saw hope again.

"Brother Cong, when the price of salt is the lowest, one pound of salt can buy twenty catties of grain, and at the highest, it can be exchanged for more than 100 catties. In my 50 years of reign, I don't know how many people I have seen who are swollen and dizzy."

….

Liu Ji's deep eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he said firmly, "I, we must bring down the price of salt. Gentleman, boat also; Those who are common to the people, the water is also; The water carries the boat, and the water capsits the boat. The people can't even afford to eat salt, so how can I feel at ease?"

The lord of Great Xia, who has been the emperor for fifty years, can give up the huge temptation of salt tax.

Jia Cong's opinion of the old man was raised one level higher, he got up and tidied up his clothes, and bowed, "The saint is benevolent, and the minister is congratulatory to the Great Xia!"

Liu Ji waved his hand indifferently: "As a king, it should be like this. In order to eliminate the threat of the desert and stabilize the overall situation in the south of the Yangtze River, I let the salt merchants of Lianghuai and Liangzhejiang go free for so long, and I am already ashamed of the people of the world. This time, let your father-in-law clean up this group of ghosts and ghosts for me."

……

Lin Ruhai has been away from Beijing for more than half a month, and he should arrive in Yangzhou when the time is calculated. Jin Se was pregnant, and it was impossible to go south with him, although the old lady was a little depressed in her heart, she still responded to Lin Ruhai's request and left her in Rongguo Mansion to take care of her.

The two mansions of Ningrong, which were cleaned by Jia Jing and Jia Amnesty, are now much cleaner. Wang Xifeng specially cleaned the guest courtyard close to his yard and let Jin Se and the servants of the Lin family live in.

Mrs. Fengsheng died of illness in Jinling, and the Ministry of Rites sent people south to pay their respects.

Zhen Jiading was worried, and the position of president of Jinling Tiren Institute was completely abolished. The emperor decreed that the Dragon Guards Jinling Town Fu Division was added, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Dragon Guards of the three provinces of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, and Fujian was guarded by thousands of households.

The position of the envoy of Jinling Town finally fell to Jia Lian, who was still in Pingwa, Zhejiang.

Don't look

This position is only a military attache from the fourth grade, but I can't stand this is the Dragon Guard, the Son of Heaven is pro-army. Moreover, the holy decree said that the Jinling Zhenfu Division only needs to be responsible for the emperor and the dragon guard.

The flowers bloom and fall, and the wind blowing through the window into the study gradually brings the heat.

The garden of the provincial relatives gradually took shape, the eldest son was not there, Jia Zheng was not good at secular affairs, the younger son had to go to the palace to accompany the old man, and he had to follow Xu Jin to study, and almost all the trivial matters in the family were pressed on the body of the eldest master.

Fortunately, with Jia Jing's help, nothing went wrong.

"This Hu Lao Ming Gong really lives up to his reputation, respect big brother, look, here...... The main hall is full of royal grandeur, and the small courtyards around it are like pearls dotted in the royal gardens."

After a general tour of the provincial garden that has begun to take shape, Jia Yu is very satisfied with the garden built by Shanziye.

He flipped through the account book in his hand and sighed, "So far, it has only cost 230,000 taels of silver, and there are about 100,000 yuan, and our garden will be completely built. I heard that the Zhou family has spent 500,000 taels, and here, I haven't seen half of the pillars erected. Hey!"

"Pardon brother, raise another 200,000 taels of silver, send it to the household department, and our family will repay some of the arrears!"

Jia Jing roughly estimated the money of the two governments, and had a calculation in his heart. The corners of his mouth raised, and he smiled: "Your Majesty is worried about the silver, for the sake of the king, how can the Ning Rong Jia family not do their best?"

To fight a war is to fight for silver, Wen Tongxuan went to the Qinzheng Palace every day to ask for silver, and the emperor almost couldn't help but beat it out with a big stick.

There is no silver in the household, so is there one in my inner treasury?

….

Jia Jing has calculated that the emperor will be short of silver, and 200,000 taels is not much for the gap in the household, but it can definitely warm the emperor's heart.

The children and grandchildren are working hard for the country in Jiangnan, and the old people in Beijing are still trying their best to raise money for you. Your Majesty, do you think my Jia family is a loyal minister of the dynasty?

With the pacification of the Jiangnan Wakos, not many of the children of the families who followed the forbidden army south made meritorious contributions, but there were many dead and wounded, and the Jia family made several limelights.

First, Jia Lian became famous in the first battle, and then Jia Rong inadvertently destroyed the grain and grass of the Japanese reinforcements......

Speaking of Jia Rong's credit, it was really picked up, Jia Rong, who was originally arranged to transport grain and grass, led 500 miscellaneous soldiers to be escorted by boat to the island east of Dinghai.

On this island, which belongs to one of the Zhoushan archipelagos, there are 2,000 soldiers stationed in the Dinghai Central Guard. After Jia Rong went to Jiangnan, because of her lack of bravery, she has been doing the work of collecting grain and escorting grain and grass, and she has also done a good job.

Unexpectedly, this time when he went to sea, he actually ran into a group of nearly 10,000 reinforcements from the Japanese Invaders.

Fortunately, it was foggy at the time, and after quietly destroying a small boat of widows that had fallen behind, Jia Rong saw that she was trapped in the center of the fleet of widows, gritted her teeth, and let the officers and soldiers pretend to be widows and quietly blend into the grain and grass team.

During the night, a fire broke out, and the Japanese docked on a small island watched their grain and grass ships burned to the ground.

With the help of the sea breeze, the fierce fire oil even ignited the ships near the grain and grass ship, and overnight, not only the grain and grass were gone, but hundreds of people and horses were burned to death, and as for the missing people, it was as high as 1,000 people.

After the Japanese reacted, they finally understood that there were people in their team who had mixed into the government.

It's a pity that Jia Rong has already taken five hundred miscellaneous soldiers to take advantage of the cover of the fog and gallop towards Dinghai for more than 20 miles.

The fire burned up the grain and grass of the Japanese reinforcements, not to mention the accomplices who supported the turtles in Ningbo Mansion, and whether they could land safely was a problem.

After all, if the officers and soldiers can burn their own grain and grass unconsciously, they have the ability to blend into their own team to meet the inside and outside.

The would-be robbers, who had been together for a long time, immediately fled hundreds of miles away and fled back to the base camp. Ningbo Mansion was finally successfully recovered by the official army, and the Japanese who were cowering in the city either died or surrendered, and were all sent to dig rivers.

When Liu Heng saw the specific battle report sent by Jiangnan, he said with a smile: "General Jia Rong has the wisdom to do it, and he dares to do it. Feng Qingche Du Wei, Long Xiang Wei Qianhu ......"

In this way, Ning Guofu finally had Xi again

Hope. Jia Jing went to the Xuanzhen Temple outside the city and smacked the son of the "Alchemy Cultivator" fiercely, and then pulled Jia Yu to drink wine all night.

Of course, in the battle of Pingwu, the meritorious people were not only Jia Lian and Jia Rong. For example, Feng Ziying, the son of Shenwu General Feng Tang, also made military exploits in beheading eight people, plus his father operated one or two, and he went from a white body to a loyal lieutenant from the sixth grade.

The things that Wuxun in the capital often talked about recently have gradually shifted from the gardens of various noble relatives to the sons and daughters who are about to return to Beijing to be rewarded.

There are those who laugh and those who cry, including the poor Bao Erye.

Jia Cong had just returned home from his teacher Xu Jin that day, and he heard that the yard was in a mess.

….

"Take Baoyu! Take the stick! Tie it up! Close all the doors! Someone sends a message inside, and they will be killed immediately!"

Well? Second uncle, is this going to fight Baoyu again?

Walking quickly around the shadow wall, I saw a mess outside the front hall, Baoyu was pressed on a bench by two sturdy servants, and the maids on the side competed to beg the second master.

Jia Zheng's face was as angry as gold paper, and he shouted: "If someone persuades me today, I will hand over this crown and furniture to him and Baoyu!" I must not be a sinner, shave off these troublesome sideburns, and find a clean place for myself, so as not to insult my ancestors and give birth to a rebellious son."

Baoyu's mouth was tightly gagged, and when she saw Jia Cong walking in, she whimpered and begged for help.

"Second uncle, what's wrong? Why did you take the second brother Bao and want to fight again?"

Jia Cong hurriedly stepped forward, waved the two servants who held Baoyu down, and bowed to Jia Zhengzuo: "Second uncle, Second Brother Bao has always been well-behaved and sensible, why did you make you so angry?"

I saw Jia Zheng seeing his nephew's royal gift, and the golden crown and jade were not majestic. glanced at his only remaining sister-in-law again, and couldn't help but feel sad.

He sighed and sat down in his chair, tears raining down.

"What iniquity did I do in my last life, that I should be so humiliated today because I am not strict with my children...... I, Jia Cunzhou, have insulted the style of the Jia family, so it's better to go back, it's better to go back......

Hiss!

Jia Cong might as well take a deep breath, the second uncle will be like a dead heart, what is going on?

Seeing that Jia Zheng couldn't say anything useful, he turned his head to look at Ou Jinglun, the doorman who had been following Jia Zheng.

"Mr. Jinglun, what the hell is going on? Who dares to insult my second uncle?"

Ou Jinglun glanced at Jia Zheng, who was in grief and couldn't extricate himself, and then at Baoyu who was lying on the bench whining, and sighed: "Zhenggong went to Princess Deqing's Mansion today to go to the poetry meeting, and was ...... by the prince of Dongping Alas, the prince of Dongping said that he saw Bao Erye behaving intimately with a drama in the opera garden, and said that the Jia family had a good family style, and he actually raised a good ...... What a man!"

Jia Cong frowned and looked at Jia Zheng, only to see that his second uncle was already angry and ashamed, the stick in his hand was lifted and put down, and finally touched a handful of tears, and sighed: "It's because I'm incompetent, I can't teach you this evil obstacle...... If Brother Zhu was still alive, why would I end up in today's fate and be humiliated in front of the nobles and ministers of the capital!"

Baoyu's face was full of tears, she kept shaking her head, and her gagged mouth kept whining.

Jia Cong removed the rags that were blocked in Baoyu's mouth, and without waiting for him to take a breath, he asked in a deep voice, "Second Brother Bao, tell me the truth, is what Qian Kangshi said true?"

"Woo...... I didn't, I didn't, I went to the opera garden to listen to the play, that Qiguan and that Jiang Yuhan are famous actors in the capital, I like to listen to the play, and I became friends with them when I came and went."

Baoyu only felt extremely wronged, so she cried and explained to Jia Cong: "A few days ago, Ruolan and Second Brother Liu went to the opera garden to listen to the play, and on Qiguan's birthday, we drank together to celebrate. During the banquet, he met the prince of Dongping, and he also invited the official Qi, and said that he would go to the palace to sing a song for his concubine Niangniang another day......

Baoyu has a wide range of friends, and he has never taboo his background, so it is normal to become friends with an actor.

Jia Cong confirmed again and again, and asked the little maid who had been following Baoyu, and finally it was determined that he and Jiang Yuhan were indeed innocent.

As for what Qian Kangshi said, he simply used this matter to disgust Jia Zheng, or rather

came to disgust Ning Rongjia's family.

"Second uncle, it seems that you are wrong to blame Second Brother Bao."

Jia Cong helped Baoyu up and said to Jia Zheng solemnly, "Second Brother Bao has always been well-behaved and obedient, what kind of disaster has he caused over the years? How many noble sons in the capital are comparable to the second brother of Bao? Qian Kangshi's move is stirring up trouble!"
