No matter what the clan relatives say, they are also their own people of the old Liu family, and Liu Hong and Jia Cong will take care of whatever they can according to the will of the emperor.

For example, in the line of the Ji Wangfu, Jia Cong not only talked in detail about the superiority of the geographical location, but also gave a lot of ideas for Liu Kang, the son of the King of Ji.

For example, you can unite some families close to you to build a pioneering team to jointly develop colonization.

As for ordering warship firearms from the Ministry of Industry, the seven-fold discount is definitely a conscience price, and the other clansmen who have the most are bargaining for an eight-eighty-eighty discount from Jia Cong.

When Liu Kang and others took the lead in obtaining the quota from the East Palace, the royal relatives and Wuxun relatives who were watching were in a hurry one by one, and they rushed to the East Palace.

In three days, Jia Cong "sold" all the quota he got from the emperor, which not only made the Beijing Chamber of Commerce offer to use their fleet to transport money and grain for the imperial court, but also received the gratitude of this group of people.

Of course, it is not enough to go to sea with a boat, they also need qualified sailors, soldiers, and people who are familiar with sea water.

Jia Cong also promised the Beijing Chamber of Commerce that the sailors of the imperial court could provide training business, and as long as the money was in place, he Jia Cong would dare to sell anything.

"Therefore, Great Xia has never lacked silver, and it is only the household department that lacks silver."

Jia Cong handed the account book to Liu Hong, seven kingdoms, nine principalities, thirteen governors' jurisdictions, a total of twenty-nine feudal places, bringing more than 38 million taels of silver to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War.

Warships, firearms, armor and the training of related personnel, the imperial court can be regarded as the first war money.

Among them, the seven kingdoms, except for Australia, which Jia Cong had booked in advance for his eldest nephew, were all regions with superior geographical locations, fertile land, and rich resources.

At the same time, it basically coincides with the Yiren colony, and it needs to be snatched with knives, guns and artillery.

But this group of Great Xia clan relatives didn't think of retreating at all, and they shouted in all directions that they would drive the Yi people into the sea to feed Wang Ba.

They do not lack money, nor patience, nor courage.

They are all descendants of Taizu, the species of the old Liu family, and no one obeys anyone.

Especially the three families that were sealed in Tianzhu had long been fooled and lame by Jia Cong. Of course, Jia Cong didn't really lie to them.

Tianzhu is indeed extremely rich, the temple is covered with gold, and the people there have always been obedient, and whoever rules is obedient like a sheep, as long as the time comes, it will be good to defeat the Yi people.

Liu Hong looked at the numbers in the account book and sighed.

"You really said it, war is really the most profitable. It's just that in this way, is the Ministry of Industry busy? ”

Jia Cong nodded and replied: "Fourth brother doesn't have to worry about this, with the technological development of major shipyards and the increase in the number of skilled workers, it is not a problem to launch one hundred and eighty warships a year." Moreover, the people of the major feudal countries must also slowly recruit people who are willing to go to sea, and it is already fast to be able to divide them within five years. ”

"The love of parents for their children is far-reaching. It's all for future generations, even if there is no hope for a few years, I still try my best to ask for this opportunity. ”

Liu Hong's emotion Jia Cong also agreed, colonizing overseas, but also fighting with the Yi people to live and die, regardless of the risk and spending a lot of money, isn't it all for future generations?

In fact, the imperial court did the same, and the emperor was even ready to separate the feudal state and the suzerainty in the future, and still fully supported this plan, not for the sake of Great Xia or the future of the Central Plains Dynasty?

It's better for the meat to rot in the pot than to invade the alien race.

Jia Cong looked at the sunset outside the window, yawned, and just wanted to say goodbye to Liu Hong, but was stopped by the little eunuch of the Qinzheng Palace.

"Your Royal Highness, uncle, the Xuanfu sent an urgent performance, and His Royal Highness and Uncle Zhao went to the Qinzheng Palace to discuss matters."

……

Jia Lian made another big move, on the second day when Wang Ziteng arrived in Xuanfu Town, he quietly left the city with 5,000 soldiers and horses, and went north from the Chaigou Fort in the west to the Great Wall, and went north in the direction of Daqingshan.

Feng Wolf Juxu and Le Shi Yanran seem to be the dream of every general of the Celestial Empire, and Jia Lian, as a descendant of Rongguo, is no exception.

Before the center could agree on a plan to raid the Tatar royal court, Jia Lian came to cut first and then play, almost scaring Wang Ziteng to death.

Are Jia Enhou's cubs so brave? sent troops without an edict, and only brought 5,000 people with his mother, I really thought I was Huo Quai's Dou Xian!

But the matter has come to this point, and it is impossible for him to send someone to block Jia Lian back, so he has to quickly report to the capital and throw his troubles to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of today's plan, it is better for you to make up an edict first."

Zhou Jiong felt that his hair was going to fall out sooner or later, and many people in the court had a lot of opinions about Jia Lian's unauthorized provocation, and it was not easy to appease him, and he came again?

Sorrow returns, anger returns, what should be done Zhou Ge Lao will still deal with it properly.

And including him, the entire central civil and military is very optimistic about Jia Lian's plan for this raid, except for some objections to the timing of the raid, both the cabinet and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies are extremely supportive.

Replicating the tactics of raiding Warat, there is at least six or seven percent certainty that you can win.

The emperor snorted, and Jia Cong sat on the side of a few cases and began to splash ink to make up for his second brother.

"Isn't five thousand cavalry too risky? Jia Lian is the same as this stinky boy, he is too fat, he dares to go deep into the grassland for 3,000 miles with such a few people, he thinks he is acting as a good man? ”

The emperor glared at Jia Cong, who was lying on several cases and wrote edicts, sighed, and asked the opinions of the old commanders.

Jia Cong shrunk his neck, trying to make himself less conspicuous......

British Gong Zhang Yue, as the No. 1 boss in the military, spoke first: "Five thousand people are no more, no less, the main Tatar force is now consumed in Xuanfu, even if there are 350,000 people in the hinterland of the grassland, 5,000 elite cavalry can advance, retreat and defend." Jia Lian, this kid, is already a qualified general. ”

Several generals of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies basically agreed on the same opinion, but the cabinet was still not very reassured.

It's really that Jia Lian is too young, if Jia Enhou goes to this battle in person, he can ensure that nothing goes wrong.

The emperor was not very proficient in military affairs, but he had an excellent advantage, that is, he knew how to use people well.

Since the people in the Governor's Mansion think it's okay, it's okay......

"Lin Qing, the logistics on the side of the household department must be done well, and we must not let Xuanfu and Liaodong lack grain, grass and ordnance. By the way, has the matter of transporting grain and grass tax silver to the south been resolved? ”

Lin Ruhai said: "It is still difficult to get through Caoyun, and the minister has already written to Dengzhou, please ask the Dengzhou Navy Division to mobilize spare ships and set off for the south." However, there is no shortage of silver in the household department now, and the minister has already arranged it to collect and buy grain nearby and send some of it to the north first. ”

"Huh? Is the household department rich? ”

The emperor was a little surprised, if he remembered correctly, Lin Ruhai only came to the Qinzheng Palace yesterday to cry with him.

Liu Hong duly presented an account book that was still scented with ink, and said with a smile: "Father, the matter of dividing overseas has been completed. According to the agreement, the feudal states have already sent the first amount of silver to the household department. The household department must have already recorded more than fifteen million taels of silver, right? ”

Lin Ruhai's face finally lost the sorrow of the previous few days, and he arched his hand at Liu Hong with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, since three days ago, the household department has recorded a total of 16,330,000 taels of silver. The minister allocated 4 million taels of silver to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Household still has more than 8 million taels left, and there will be 20 million taels in the follow-up account, which is enough to support the war. ”

The emperor's eyes turned red when he heard this, he stared at Lin Ruhai and gritted his teeth and said, "Lin Qing, since the household is rich, shouldn't the silver you borrowed from me be returned to me?" ”

Why should I pay back the wool I have gathered and the silver I have borrowed?

Lin Ruhai rubbed his eyes and plucked his ears, his face was full of doubts: "What? What did you say, Your Majesty? What else? What silver? When did you borrow money from you? ”

Burst~

Except for the emperor himself, who was angry and helpless, the rest couldn't help laughing, and the Qinzheng Hall was filled with a cheerful atmosphere......

……

After Jia Cong went home, he told his family the news of Jia Lian's expedition, and although the women and children in the house were worried about this, they were used to it and held on.

The Wuxun family, horse leather shrouds are commonplace, not to mention that even the old lady, a military expert with half a bucket of water, can see that this battle has a great chance of winning.

"Lian'er, you have to worry more about it, Wang Ziteng is in Xuanfu, I can't always put my mind at ease, be careful that he calculates our family behind his back."

The old lady was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, since Jia Lian dared to propose that Wang Ziteng take over the defense of Xuanfu Town, how could there be no prevention?

The military envoy of Xuanfu Town was none other than Liu Chong, the son of the Zhongshun king, who was urgently transferred from the capital.

And although Wang Ziteng is ambitious, he never makes mistakes in big festivals. This battle is about the great plan of the northern frontier for hundreds of years, and there is no room for error.

With Wang Ziteng's political consciousness, he will not only not drag Jia Lian back, but will also try his best to attract the attention of the main Tatar force for him.

Jia Cong didn't tell the old lady about this, but only said that the DPRK and China had a perfect plan to reassure her.

Then he asked about the family, Rongguo Mansion should prepare for Yuanchun's children, and also for the future of the Jia family.

For example, raise some money first......

"You don't have to worry about the silver, I have discussed with your Uncle Jing and your second uncle, our family now has no deficit in the household, and we can balance more than one million taels a year, which is enough to meet the expenses in the early stage."

The old lady called for the mandarin duck and asked her to fetch the family's account books.

"Your recipe for raising pearls is good, and since last year, there have been at least hundreds of thousands of taels of profit every year. There is also the wool business with the grassland, and the annual dividend given to us by the Ministry of Industry is more than 500,000 taels, which is enough to build a large fleet in a few years. ”

"It's not enough ......"

Jia Cong flipped through the account book and closed it with a snap.

He pondered for a moment and said to the old lady: "Although our family will not go to sea to operate a fiefdom openly, that is the retreat of our Jia family, and there is no room for error." The size of the fleet cannot be small, and this bit of silver is not comparable to those pirates...... Let me think about it first, and see if I can find a few more ways to get the money. By the way, what about the second uncle? ”

"Your second uncle? A colleague invited him to Nanchi, but he hasn't come back yet. Are you looking for him? ”

"Then let's talk about it tomorrow, you rest first, and your grandson will go to find the second brother of Xiabao."

The old lady knew that this grandson had always had a big idea, so she didn't ask again. However, he still commanded with a strange face: "Then you can go, but don't disturb Baoyu too much, he ...... I just got beaten today. ”

……

Master Zheng is willing to go out of the house to socialize today, it is because he is in a good mood, after all, he can beat his son happily, can he be in a bad mood?

Bao Er Ye has done another big thing in the past few days, and after being blocked in the front yard by the political master and beating Baoyu with a big stick, he obediently took leave to recuperate in the house.

When Jia Cong walked into Baoyu's room, Xiangyun was teasing Baoyu lying on the bed. Baoyu is also a happy person, and he can't get his ass beaten, but he can laugh and play with Xiangyun.

"Second Brother Bao's board is worth it, with Sister Yun by your side, I think you will be happy to let the second uncle beat you a few more times."

Xiangyun's neck was red from Jia Cong's teasing, and he raised his hand and knocked Jia Cong's brain, and then left the back room under the pretext of making tea.

Jia Cong tapped Baoyu's belly covered with a thin blanket with his hand, and Baoyu on the bed groaned.

"Don't, don't, don't, it really hurts!"

"Second Brother Bao tell me, why did you have a conflict with Jia Hua?"

Jia Cong is really curious, since Jia Yucun went to Shuntian Mansion to serve as the governor, he has been really conscientious these days.

Originally, he calculated with King Zhongshun and planned to find an opportunity to give Jia Yucun a one-way ticket to the underworld, but he didn't expect this old boy to be extremely cautious and has not shown his feet so far.

It just so happened that there had been a lot of things recently, and Jia Cong didn't care about digging a pit for Jia Hua, thinking that he would have a good time with this person when he had free time in the future, and he didn't want Baoyu to make the first move.

I saw Baoyu crying and complaining: "Don't mention it, I have planted a big heel this time......"

It turned out that Jia Hua had always maintained the image of a Qing official during his tenure in Shuntianfu, that is, the fastidious imperial historians in the court could not find the slightest fault, and they had a good impression of him.

But there was a flaw in Baoyu, and someone secretly sent a secret letter to the Information Department, reporting that Shuntianfu had corrupted the law.

"Brother Cong, do you still remember Zhen Jiabaoyu?"

"Huh? remembers that although the Zhen family was raided, the saint gave the Zhen family grace, forgave Zhen Baoyu, and asked him to guard the tomb for the holy lady in Jinling. What's wrong? ”

I only heard Baoyu say: "Zhen Baoyu has come to the capital, and the secret letter was written by him." Before the Zhen family raided the house, they divided the family's belongings into several parts and deposited them with good friends. Later, the Long Guards went to Jinling to investigate, and Jia Hua, who was the prefect of Jinling at the time, assisted the Long Guards in handling the case and traced the Zhen family's property hidden in various places in Nanzhili...... According to Zhen Baoyu, Jia Hua used the excuse to confiscate Mrs. Fengsheng's property as stolen goods. ”

Holy! Ruthless! Lady Bongsheng dares to move!

That was the grandmother of the Emperor Taishang, and the entire Great Xia, including the emperor, did not dare to touch this taboo.

"Second Brother Bao, have you seen Zhen Baoyu? How dare he be sure that Jia Hua copied what Madame Fengsheng left behind? ”

Baoyu shook her head and took out a letter from under her pillow.

"I didn't see Zhen Baoyu either, but I could recognize his handwriting. Take a look at this letter first, according to Zhen Baoyu's description, Jia Hua secretly took someone to him, threatened him with the innocent life of the Zhen family's daughter, and handed over the silver money and property left to him by Mrs. Fengsheng totaling more than 200,000 taels. Later, the daughters of the Zhen family were sentenced to exile, and on the way, someone insulted those female dependents......"

Needless to say, no matter how the Zhen family says it, it is also the home of the official eunuch, and those female dependents are already facing the disaster of raiding their homes, how can they stand it if they lose their virginity.

When the news of his death came back to Jinling, Zhen Baoyu remembered the 200,000 taels of silver he had given to Jia Hua, and he vomited blood and fainted.

When he finally recovered from his illness and went to Jinling City to confront Jia Hua, he found that the prefect of Jinling had changed.

No, Zhen Jiabaoyu, who took his sister and sister as his lifeline like Jia Jiabaoyu, wrote a letter in anger and handed it to the Jinling Mansion.

It's a pity that the officials of the government are all looking down on people, and the Zhen family is now shouted and beaten by everyone, and Zhen Baoyu can't even enter the gate of the government.

But this time, Zhen Baoyu was determined to avenge her sister and sister, and she begged all the way to the capital.

learned that Jia Hua is now the governor of Shuntian Mansion, and he is in a high position. He thought about it, and finally set his eyes on Jia Baoyu, who was in the sky.
