Bao Erye's stomach was in pain, and Zhen Baoyu's matter was taken over by Jia Cong.

It's not that Our Lady Jia Cong's heart attack, it's mainly that he noticed something strange from this incident.

Jinling is thousands of miles away from the capital, and it has been unstable recently, Zhen Baoyu was able to arrive safely alone, and he didn't believe it when he said that he would go to the sky.

Moreover, Zhen Baoyu also said one thing in the report letter, Jia Yucun had interests with several silk merchants in Jinling Mansion, and took the opportunity of raiding Zhen's Mansion to sell the thousands of acres of fertile land originally in the name of Mrs. Fengsheng to those merchants at a low price.

Jia Cong arranged for people to secretly find Zhen Baoyu's traces, and went to the Dragon Guards early the next morning to find Cao Jiugong to ask for all the official documents sent from the Jiangnan direction since last winter.

After he roughly flipped through these official documents, he finally found a clue.

"Sister Lin, Sister Bao, how has the silk output of the state capitals in the south of the Yangtze River increased in recent years? Are there many people who grow mulberry and raise silkworms in various places? ”

Jia Cong rushed into the yamen of the Ministry of Rites all the way with the official documents sorted out, and Daiyu, Baochai, and Tanchun, who were busy working in the yamen, were startled by him.

Daiyu looked at Jia Cong, who was covered with sweat, and asked someone to bring a basin of water, soaked a handkerchief and wiped it on his face for a long time.

Tanchun also took a few pieces of cold melon for him to quench his thirst, and Baochai flipped through the pile of official documents, and his brows gradually wrinkled.

"How do I feel that the output of this silk is too amazing, according to last year's quantity, unless most of Jinling Mansion is planted with mulberry and silkworms, it is possible to weave so much silk. Of course, the silk merchants of Jinling Province can also buy from other state capitals, but the silk production in Suzhou and Yangzhou has also increased several times, so where do they get their raw silk? ”

The Xue family itself has a silk business, and Baochai is extremely sensitive to these numbers, and can see that something is wrong at a glance.

Daiyu was also curious, leaned over to take a look, and frowned.

"I have heard a rumor that the overseas Yi people like the silk of the Central Plains, and the price of silk has increased more than 20 times after going to sea, so the Jiangnan and Shu tribes who are good at producing silk often plant mulberry trees on the fertile fields for cultivating grain. Moreover, the people will also give up planting grain and planting mulberry and silkworms because of huge profits. ”

"I thought of a ...... person"

"I also thought of a person ......"

Daiyu and Baochai looked at each other and smiled, and said together: "Shuntian Mansion Chengjiahua!" ”

Well?

"Why did the two sisters talk about this person at the same time?"

Baochai motioned to Daiyu to say first, but Daiyu did not refuse, and replied: "It's also a coincidence, when my father served as the salt inspector in Yangzhou, he also had the responsibility of supervising Jiangnan. I helped my father sort out the official documents, and I once saw an official letter, which was about the summer tax sent to the north of Jinling Mansion. At that time, the imperial court mainly collected taxes in kind, but the Jinling Mansion paid the silver directly. At that time, I was quite strange, the fertile fields in the south of the Yangtze River are everywhere, and the fertile fields are thousands of miles. Just after the summer harvest, the grain in Jiangnan is cheap and silver, why does Jinling Mansion use silver to offset taxes? ”

Jia Cong slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Unless Jinling Mansion can't collect grain!" ”

"Not only that, in those years, the imperial court was very short of silver, Jinling Mansion was anxious about what the imperial court was anxious about, thinking about what the imperial court thought, and using silver to offset taxes, whether it was the political envoy or the center, it would definitely have a very good impression of the officials in Jinling Mansion. Jia Fucheng is a high-class plan for two consecutive terms, otherwise he would not have the opportunity to go to Beijing to take up his post. ”

Baochai didn't know the origin of Jia Yucun's Shuntian Mansion, and thought that he was reused by the officials because of his superior plan.

She just remembered an incident her mother had told her when she was at home.

In fact, raising silkworms and mulberry in Nanzhili is also an important achievement of officials, and the first thing that every magistrate does when he takes office is to persuade farmers to teach mulberry. But the most important thing in Jiangnan is food, only the special silk can bring a lot of silver money to Jiangnan. As for the lack of food for planting mulberry trees on the cultivated land, it is enough to buy it with silver from the land of the lake. ”

Grain is cheap and silver is expensive, and those big landlords want to make money and use cultivated land to plant mulberry trees to raise silkworms and weave silk, is there anything wrong? No!

However, Jiangnan is one of the important granaries of Great Xia, and if all the mulberry trees are planted, if there is a natural disaster, the great famine will wipe out the seemingly prosperous scene.

Jia Cong was in a cold sweat, and Baochai began to calculate the changes in the silk output and grain output of several state capitals in the official document in his hand, and Daiyu and Tanchun assisted on the side.

For more than half an hour, an extremely obvious comparison chart was placed in front of Jia Cong.

At this moment, the three girls in the room also covered their mouths in horror.

The group of gentry and wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River are really crazy, and roughly calculated, at least seventy percent of the cultivated land in Jinling, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Ningguo, and Zhenjiang is planted with mulberry trees......

Otherwise, they would not be able to support the silk business of tens of millions of silver per year, and this is only the amount of trade that goes to sea from the city.

Daiyu's thinking was more agile, and she grabbed Jia Cong's arm, and said worriedly: "No wonder Mr. Qingteng is struggling to implement the Qingzhang Tianmu in Nanzhili, not to mention the benefits of this, even if the two saints go south in person, they may become the target of public criticism." ”

"Sister Lin needless to say so tactfully, so profiteering, I'm afraid that Your Majesty went to Nanzhili, and if you don't get it right, you will accidentally fall into the water, or collapse in the cold."

It's not that there are no emperors who were killed by courtiers in history, and the Zhengde Emperor who picked up a knife and cut the tartar in his previous life didn't fall into the water and get a wind chill for some reason, and suddenly died?

"The three sisters will keep this matter secret for the time being, and I will talk about it when I go to find out......"

Knock knock~

A knock on the door interrupted the conversation between several people, and the voice of the female envoy came from outside the door.

"Uncle, the soldiers from your house are here and are waiting for you outside the yamen."

……

Zhen Baoyu found it, but it was not found by the soldiers of Rongguo Mansion, but someone sent it to Ningrong Street.

Jia Cong looked at Zhen Jiabaoyu, who was unconscious on the bed, and asked the second dog on the side: "When you found him, were there other people around?" ”

Ergouzi shook his head: "No, after the subordinates changed shifts, they accidentally found a beggar sitting under a tree not far from our house, so I paid attention." Later, when I saw that he had been sitting for more than an hour, and he was motionless, he stepped forward to check. I didn't expect to see Bao Erye......"

Belch~

The second dog secretly glanced at the cleaned Zhen Baoyu, and his face became more and more strange. It's so similar!

"Okay, it just looks like it, Second Brother Bao will still be lying on the bed."

Jia Cong waved his hand to retreat, and quietly ordered Jia Shiyi to go to the Dragon Guard to invite someone.

Zhen Baoyu's identity is very sensitive, Mrs. Fengsheng's most beloved grandson, even if the Zhen family is rejected by the saint, he can still let the old man show extrajudicial grace, leave this single seedling, and let him leave the inheritance given to him by Mrs. Fengsheng.

Before the Dragon Guards came, Zhen Baoyu woke up first.

The first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to touch his chest, the originally foul-smelling and tattered beggar clothes had turned into delicate silk, which made Zhen Baoyu sit up in shock.

"Brother Zhen, do you remember your little brother?"

The sunlight outside the window spilled into the room, making Zhen Baoyu, who had just woken up from a coma, a little dazzled.

His pupils narrowed, and he finally saw the person sitting at the table next to him.

"Jia Cong?"

Jia Cong closed the booklet in his hand and looked at Zhen Baoyu with a smile: "I said goodbye a few years ago, but I didn't expect to say goodbye to Brother Zhen in this situation." ”

Zhen Baoyu's face turned red, and then he saw the booklet in Jia Cong's hand, and raised his hand to point: "This...... This ......"

"Don't worry, you still have this booklet, it's safe in Rongguo Mansion!"

Jia Cong shouted outside the door, asked his soldiers to bring rice porridge, and said to Zhen Baoyu: "Brother Zhen eat something first, I have already asked people to invite the Dragon Guard Cao Dudu, your grievances will definitely be presented to the saint, and his old man will make the decision for you." ”

……

The first meeting between the two Baoyu made Jia Cong sigh, and the two who looked extremely similar and had almost the same personality now have the difference between heaven and earth.

Second Master Bao looked at Zhen Baoyu as if he was looking in a mirror.

He endured the strange feeling in his heart, and carefully inquired about Zhen Baoyu's experience in Jinling Mansion and the situation of going all the way north to the capital.

Not to mention, Second Master Bao is an extremely careful person, and after asking, he quietly gestured to Jia Cong.

The two brothers avoided aside, and Baoyu said to Jia Cong: "It is impossible for Zhen Baoyu to arrive in Beijing from thousands of miles away by begging, someone is secretly helping him." Every time he lives and dies, there is always a mysterious kind-hearted person. Who is this kind-hearted man? We'll have to look it up. ”

As he spoke, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house.

Jia Cong looked at it, smiled and said, "The professional person is here, let's go and ask Cao Dudu's opinion." ”

Cao Jiugong learned that it was Zhen Baoyu who had an accident, so he immediately threw away his official business and rushed out.

The Zhen family is down, yes, but that is Mrs. Fengsheng's favorite grandson, who actually begged all the way to the capital to cry out for grievances, he really wanted to go south and hammer the dragon guards of Jinling City to death.

A group of waste, if the saint learned about this, he Cao Jiugong would definitely be beaten with a military stick.

When Jia Cong explained the original situation, Cao Jiugong suddenly noticed something unusual.

"This mysterious person took such great pains to escort Zhen Baoyu all the way to the capital and sue Jia Hua, what is his purpose? Justice? ”

"I also think it's strange, except for the most public and virtuous people in this world, who else in the world would be selfless to this extent?"

Jia Cong couldn't figure it out, glanced at the second master of Bao, who was chatting happily with Zhen Baoyu, and solemnly said to Cao Jiugong: "Dudu, my teacher is afraid that he has stabbed the hornet's nest this time, this is a huge profit of tens of millions of taels of silver every year, I am afraid that someone will ...... with the thirteenth master."

He raised his hand and gestured at his throat, startling Cao Jiugong as well.

Not to mention, this may not happen.

Cao Jiugong immediately planned to enter the palace to report to the emperor, but was pulled by Jia Cong.

I saw Jia Cong stuff the booklet taken out of Zhen Baoyu's tattered beggar's clothes to Cao Jiugong, and advised: "Regardless of whether the content in this booklet is true or not, Cao Dudu, you must be careful." ”

"Understand, Zhen Baoyu will live in your house temporarily, I will let someone go to that mysterious person, and let someone inform you as soon as there is news."

Cao Jiugong took the booklet and was about to leave, walked to the door and turned back and said: "By the way, the news of Zhen Baoyu's presence in your house must not be hidden, it is best to report to the sage, and the shadow of Mrs. Feng is enough to make him worry-free for the rest of his life." This time, someone is in big trouble. ”

……

It is true that someone has caused big trouble, and as the Emperor Taishang gets older and older, his thoughts about Zhaowu Laochen become more and more intense.

Mrs. Fengsheng's status in the old man's heart is like her own mother.

The emperor is ruthless but also affectionate, because of his status and status, he can't recognize a godmother, but the title of saint has already shown the particularity of the old lady.

learned that the old lady's favorite grandson was not only deprived of all his property, but also endured the tragic incident of having no way to ask for help, begging for thousands of miles to come to the capital to complain, and finally "fainting from hunger" in front of the gate of Rongguo Mansion.

Now the old man is really angry!

"Don't you take me, the emperor, in your eyes! The Son of Heaven was angry and bled for thousands of miles. If I don't kill a few people, you can't remember the existence of me, the Emperor? ”

The old man swept the tea cup on the table to the ground with a flick of his sleeves, his face was as cold as ice in winter, and he only glanced at the main hall of the Grand View Garden, and the palace attendants who were waiting in the palace were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and did not dare to move.

Jia Cong waved them out of the hall, and stepped forward to support the old man who got up to kill someone.

"The saint is angry, the Holy Communion matters. Now that Zhen Baoyu has settled down, with me here, Mrs. Fengsheng's grandson will definitely be happy for a lifetime! ”

The four words of Mrs. Fengsheng fell on the ears of the old man, and finally made him regain a trace of his senses.

He snorted coldly and let Jia Cong help him back into the hall.

"So what's wrong with Zhen Baoyu now? Jia Hua remembers, isn't he recommended by your family to be reinstated? ”

Jia Cong shouted in his heart to be glad, fortunately he was smart enough before to confess the matter of Jia Yucun to the emperor, otherwise he would have implicated his own family if he didn't get it right this time.

"Sage, rest assured, Zhen Baoyu is now living in my guest house. This time, he has suffered a lot when he came to Beijing for thousands of miles, and his body is very empty, so I have asked the imperial doctor to prescribe a prescription, and I will take care of it first. As for Jia Hua, it's like this......"

Jia Cong told the old man about his earlier arrangements with Liu Ke, the king of Zhongshun, including his views on Jia Hua and his original plans, and told the old man 1510.

"This person is indeed a talented person, but he is talented but not virtuous, and becoming an official will only be a disaster for the people of the society. Now that you and Cao Jiugong have made up their minds, let's do what you think. ”

I saw that the old man nodded and said: "But you forgot one thing, the Zhen family was copied by the fourth child himself, the three divisions were sentenced at the same trial, and the daughter of the Zhen family was exiled, where did he get the confidence to dare to use the excuse of the guarantor to blackmail Zhen Baoyu's silver?" No matter how stupid Zhen Baoyu is, she is not stupid enough to do this, right? ”

Belch~

Jia Cong really wanted to say that Zhen Baoyu was really so stupid, especially when facing things related to his sister and sister.

But he suddenly remembered how much Zhen Baoyu had changed now, and was shocked that he was really careless this time.

He patted his brain: "This matter is indeed strange, how did Jia Hua make Zhen Baoyu believe that he has the ability to protect the Zhen family's daughters?" ”

The old man spoke again and admonished: "There should be someone behind Jia Hua, I have a feeling that this matter may be an opportunity to open up the matter of Nanzhili Qingzhang Tianmu." In order to prevent the grass from startling the snake, first investigate secretly, and do not move for the time being. At least, it can't be done in the name of this matter. ”
