Fengzao Palace, the nave.
After Jia Qiang and Li Xuan followed Empress Yin into the hall, they saw Emperor Long'an leaning on the phoenix couch and already fell asleep quietly.
Dai Quan stood up like an angry wooden man, waiting quietly.
Jia Yuanchun and others in the palace had long disappeared, but Zhang Zhen and Zheng Yang were two tall eunuchs standing in the hall.
Seeing Yin Hou and his party arrive, the three of them hurriedly bowed to the salute.
Queen Yin waved her hand and signaled that they didn't have to be too polite. Then she stepped forward and saw Emperor Long'an sleeping, and looked back at Mu Di.
Mu Di hurried to the inner hall to get a white fox fur cloak. After Yin took it, he gently covered Emperor Long'an.
However, as soon as the fox fur was covered, Emperor Long'an's eyes suddenly opened, his eyes sharp and alert, and cold and alert.
After seeing the person approaching was Yin, it gradually calmed down.
Jia Qiang, not far away, saw this scene and hurriedly lowered his eyes.
He has always known the word "Lonely", but he has no real understanding of it.
Especially this kind of cold place that is extremely cold, I can’t understand it.
Judging from the previous life, aren’t the vast majority of leaders in the world all have harmonious families?
How could it be a lonely person...
Until I saw this moment...
Jia Qiang was puzzled, what's the best position?
Look at Emperor Long'an. Even though he is the supreme emperor, he will be exhausted and careful to be careful when only balancing the relationship between the court, the royal family and the military.
Even the person next to you, the descendants of your parents, and even the biological parents cannot believe it.
It really corresponds to the saying, the heavenly family has no affection.
However, in general, this generation of royal family should be much better...
Your Majesty, I’m really too hard, it’s important to take care of the dragon’s body.
Queen Yin advised worriedly.
Emperor Long'an whined, he had not slept all night, and the quarrels were endless, so he was not good-looking at the moment.
After sitting in the right hand, Empress Yin took a cup of ginseng tea from Zhaorong and served it. Emperor Long'an just took a sip and then left it aside.
After coughing dryly, he looked at Jia Qiang with bloodshot eyes and asked in a low voice: What's going on with the national debt?I heard from Lin Aiqing that this was also inspired by you and made a trick?
Jia Qiang said in a regular manner: Emperor, I didn’t think so much at first, and I never thought that things would be so big and cause so much controversy.I just saw Mr. Chen Zhi and was worried because of the insufficient treasury, so I said something more.Originally, I wanted to raise some money to lend to Mr. Chen, but Mr. Chen said that public and private matters need to be clear, and the court did not have the principle of borrowing money from his ministers directly.I just thought that since I can’t borrow like this, I’ll change my ways and change my name in the middle.The Ministry of Revenue first set up a money house, and the Ministry of Revenue borrowed money from the money house, and the bank collected cash from the ministers and others.
……
Emperor Long'an sat upright, looked at Jia Qiang speechlessly for a while and said: Why didn't you tell me about the money house of the Ministry of Revenue before?
Jia Qiang was stunned when he heard this and said: What are you saying... Oh, these are just specific means of giving. Isn’t this aware that if you say the word “money house” clearly, will you be opposed? Therefore, it may be more appropriate to advise me to use national debt to describe it.
Emperor Long'an frowned and looked at Jia Qiang, and pinched his eyebrows for a moment.
I don't know what to scold...
What Jia Qiang said is not unreasonable. The opposition from the court to run a money shop may not be smaller than last night.
For those who have passed the imperial examinations in business, all the officials who have passed the imperial examinations must have despised them from the bottom of their hearts...
After a little while, Emperor Long'an picked up the ginseng tea from the phoenix table and ate it again, frowned and said: In this way, are you still going to run a money shop in the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
Jia Qiang nodded and said: Of course, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will set up a money house, and the money house will issue national bonds.I actually don’t understand why no one had set up a money shop in the Ministry of Internal Affairs earlier?The business of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is everywhere. If you have a money house and issue the Ministry of Internal Affairs, wouldn’t it be too convenient?It is only internal circulation, which is very cheap and can prevent internal thieves from stealing silver.
Emperor Long'an pinched his eyebrows again, and he had a great headache.
emperor……
Queen Yin actually couldn't understand it very well. Seeing that Emperor Long'an looked very ugly, she advised: Master, should you go to bed first?The dragon body is important.
Emperor Long'an waved his hand and did not say anything to Queen Yin, but asked Jia Qiang: You should prepare for this matter slowly. I will ask about it after I have been busy with this period. When will you, the commander of the embroidered garment guard, take office?
Jia Qiang whispered: Emperor, I am already in office. I have sent someone to arrange the route. After the arrangement is made, I will send all the remaining three thousand households and twelve hundred households of the Embroidered Uniform Guard to foreign countries.Emperor, although I did not go to the Embroidered Yiwei Yamen, I did not delay my work.
Emperor Longan seemed to have no idea what to say, and raised his chin slightly at Dai Quan.
Dai Quan bowed and responded, then took out a note from his sleeve, handed it to Jia Qiang with a smile, and said: Ning Hou, the people on the list in the note were personally drafted by the emperor, and they are all unpardoned people of great traitors and evil.The embroidered yarn guards need to take these people into the imperial prison with conclusive evidence within one month.Remember, the evidence is conclusive, and both human and physical evidence are indispensable.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the middle hall of Fengzao Palace changed their expressions.
Not to mention Li Xuan's obedient head, he didn't dare to raise his head. Even Queen Yin looked solemn, not knowing what she was thinking.
Jia Qiang took the note, looked at Dai Quan with a stern look, opened the note and took a light breath.
After closing the note and putting it in his pocket, he pondered for a while, as if savoring the true meaning of the four words "The Claws of the Emperor"...
When Emperor Long'an saw it, his eyebrows raised slightly and asked: Are there any difficulties?
Jia Qiang nodded slowly and said: Emperor, everything else is just right. Even if it is Zhang Ji, the heavenly official of the Ministry of Personnel, he will be guilty of the emperor's words and words. Civil officials are not worthy of anything, but the heroes of Yuanping... I have a request.
explain.
Emperor Long'an said lightly.
Jia Qiang said: Please provide firearms!
Emperor Longan sneered, staring at him without responding.
Jia Qiang breathed out and said: Emperor, most of my ministers will have to deal with Yuanping's meritorious officials in the future. The Marquis of Changxing and Marquis of Yingchuan are still ordinary, but there are also hundreds of personal soldiers and generals around him. In terms of true combat power, the Embroidered Guard may not be able to stop it.Once a big war occurs, the two of them lead their troops to flee, and the consequences will never be afforded!These two people are just arrogant and extravagant among Yuanping’s heroes. The group of elite soldiers and generals who have returned from the Nine Territory are even more incomparable to the Embroidered Uniform Guard.The Yangcun Incident in Wuqing shows that there is definitely not only one Dusi in the army who is a bad person, and there is a very likely big evil player behind it!
The emperor, if you want to use your strength to intimidate the law and kill the rebels, I think that you can only rely on the benefits of firearms!Moreover, it cannot be a backward fire-breaking medicine. A firearm that cannot be used when you see rain and snow is needed. You need a self-propelled firearm!Didn’t Banshan Gong say that the emperor wants to gain absolute military power within three years?The emperor is actually not sure if he only wins people's hearts, and it is hard to predict people's hearts!I think that if the emperor could absolutely control the three firearms battalions and replace them with self-propelled firearms, even if there was a problem with the 12th Regiment Battalion, they would never be able to stop the three firearms battalions!
These words made countless people in the hall sweat coldly. Emperor Long'an's face was no longer tired, his eyes were engraved on Jia Qiang's face like a knife. After he said this, he said in a deep voice: You are really, dare to say anything! There is Qingjun's side in front, but now this is coming again. How many heads have you grown?
Jia Qiang shook his head and said: I naturally only have a head. But Mr. I once taught me that I only need to be loyal to the word "sincerity" in front of the imperial court. If you do clever actions, you will only bring shame on yourself.I have previously told the emperor about this matter...
Emperor Longan raised his eyebrows and asked: Then your husband has taught you not to speak without restraint?
Jia Qiang laughed dryly and said: I personally think that if I have no restraint, I may still bear the consequences of causing trouble.But if you think you are a self-righteous and deceive the emperor, you really can't afford the consequences, and there is no need to bear such consequences, which is not cost-effective.
Emperor Long'an sneered: It sounds a bit like you do business and business... Do you know how much the self-propelled firearm you mentioned?
Jia Qiang shook his head and said: I don’t know how much it costs, but I have inquired that this kind of firearm is sold on Haojing, which costs about thirty or forty taels of silver.Not very expensive... In addition, I sent all the elite soldiers and generals of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, so I asked them to send back advanced methods of building firearms from Western countries.If he succeeds, the emperor will be the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, who is the best in the history of the great country, even if he only takes it for one year.
Emperor Long'an heard what he said, and it was not the first time he praised the firearm like this. He got up and paced back and forth twice, and slowly said: You can send those people to search for it. If you really succeed, I will remember your achievements.But, after you really get it back, don’t do it privately.As for the embroidered garment guards that you want to equip with firearms, it is impossible.I will only allow you one hundred firearms, and I will send the firearm camp to the Embroidered Guard Office.Every firearm must be recorded, and losing one is a felony.
Jia Qiang was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly said: Emperor, I heard that you have a pair of self-propelled firearms. Can you reward me?It takes about ten steps to get a comb from loading to firing. It is too complicated. I need to use the self-propelled firearm to make people fool people, so that outsiders think that my subordinates are all self-propelled firearms...
Emperor Long'an swallowed when he heard this, stared at Jia Qiang and said in a deep voice: The fire weapon I gave me is no different from the Emperor's Sword.After you get it, you must use it with caution.In addition, don’t bother Lin Aiqing in the Embroidered Uniform Guard, do you understand?
Jia Qiang was overjoyed and smiled and said, "Don't worry, your elders, I am not a fool. Do you even understand the word "duty"?Not to mention the matter of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, it is the matter of the Dongcheng Military and Ma Si, and the affairs of Wuxun, Mr. Chen never let me talk too much.At most, he analyzed it and said that Duke of Zhao, Jiang Duo, is an old fox and should not be underestimated.
Emperor Long'an said, "If you can learn half of Lin Aiqing, you can become a pillar of the country."Let’s go, remember, within one month, I will have a result on the list on the memorandum.By the way, remember to go to your husband and take over the man in his hand...
