Jiangnan, Yangzhou Prefecture.
Qiyuan.
Compared with the northern region, the southern province obviously benefits more and the pace of life is much more relaxed.
Not to mention, a wealthy man in the world like the Qi family.
The glass window was clear and clean, there was the first prostitute in Jiangnan playing the piano, and an old monk from Daming Temple burned incense and recited scriptures.
Qi Taizhong sat in a clean room with the heads of the nine surnames in Jiangnan, drinking tea and chatting.
The head of the Chu family has the best fragrant tea in his life. At this moment, he was so fascinated by eating Qi's tea. He couldn't help but look at Qi Taizhong and said: Brother Qi, I dare not say 10% of the famous tea in the world, but I have tasted it. Only you have the fragrance after eating it, and the aftertaste is sweet and fresh.It is oolong tea, but I don’t know that there are such oolongs in the world?
The Ouyang family leader smiled and said, "Brother Qi is a commoner, and I think this good tea comes from the palace."
The head of the Chu family said disdainfully: What good tea can be found in the palace? I was tired of those tea decades ago. Compared with Brother Qi, those teas are just water!
Imperial power is naturally supreme, but it is just supreme.
Unless the capital city eliminates the nine major surnames in a false name, in their eyes, imperial power is just imperial power.
They do not rebel. Within the rules, they can live more freely and more relaxedly than the Tian family.
Jiangnan is the Jiangnan of the nine surnames.
Therefore, there are not many respects to the Tian family here...
Qi Taizhong smiled and said: This book is not a tea circulating in the world. Jia Xiaozi got a few tea king treasure trees from somewhere. He has only produced some in a year. I still have a thick face and asked him for some.Not enough, so De'ang asked him to ask for some questions, and that's all...
The head of the Chu family clapped his legs and said: Look, look!I just said, who in this world can deduct some treasures from the Silver Fox?
Everyone laughed, and the head of the Sima family smiled and said: The next time you meet Ning Hou, you can ask for it yourself.Brother Qi’s things are hard to ask for, but didn’t you just take Ning Hou’s things?
Everyone laughed again, but this time, they all chuckled clearly.
When Jia Qiang did these things, he didn't expect them, but these old men guessed them.
Jia Qiang made such a large plate, no matter in the palace or in the court, it was impossible for him to hold his hands.
But they didn't expect that the palace would be so anxious. They thought that no matter what, they would have to wait for Jia Qiang to put on the air, formulate rules, and clarify the equity.
Qi Taizhong's eyes slowly swept over everyone and asked with a smile: What do you think?Jia Xiaozi said that the court will send someone else to sign the contract later. Should we sign it or not?
The head of the Shangguan family frowned and said: I invested this money, not to make money.
The head of the Situ family shook his head and said: This has nothing to do with making money or not. If our money is so good and we drift into the water, then there will be the first time, the second time, and the third time.
The head of the Helian family smiled and said: Why must it be wasted?It’s also a money house in the Internal Affairs Office, at most it’s just a matter of not losing money or making money?
The head of the Situ family shook his head and said: Don’t lose money or make money?I tell you, if you really invest in their share, and the money bank will inevitably fall into a state of decline.At that time, they will make us continue to add principal.It’s hard to get out of it if you are involved with them.
The other heads of the family nodded repeatedly and said: This is the style of the court.
The head of the Shangguan family pondered for a moment and said slowly: But if we don’t do it, the court will look for Shanxi merchants and Guangdong merchants.That's the Tianjia Interior House Money House...
The head of the Sima family sneered and said: The Thirteenth Street in Yangcheng will not be able to do this. It was originally close to Nanyang, and it had long been separated from the place where the family was settled and kept a distance from the capital. The smartest way was to do it.As for the Shanxi merchants... the imperial court let the Shanxi merchants be the shopkeepers of the money shops, the Internal Affairs Office's money shop may really become bigger, but it will take at least ten years.But would the court trust them like this?Furthermore, what the court is asking for now is not silver, but food!
The head of the Helian family smiled and said: If we can go to Siam and Annan to buy, can’t Shanxi merchants?Shanxi merchants have a special liking for money bank tickets.
The head of the Sima family shook his head and said: Do you think maritime affairs are so easy?If I hadn't happened to have some friendship with Yan Ping, the King of Four Seas, and had a letter to him, and sent him money to buy a journey. If I got the Four Seas Flag, the Qi family's ship might not have been able to come back!You ask Shanxi merchants to try it out and see how many grains of rice they can buy back!
The head of the Shangguan family, the head of the Helian family and another head of the Taishi family, these three families were originally moved and were ready to still buy the money stocks of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
After all, it doesn’t matter to them whether Jia Qiang’s existence or not.
What I originally valued was the signature of the Tianjia Interior House Money House.
But now it seems that the disadvantages outweigh the benefits.
And the other companies obviously don't want to continue...
So, how should we decline?
Qi Taizhong smiled slightly and said: Didn’t Sima say that?The sea storm was rampant, and the Qi family's 100,000 stones of food were all lost half, and the sea storm sank 30% and countless casualties were injured.How dare you nine families join?Unless, the court can solve the difficulties of pirates and storms.Otherwise, there is nothing we can do.
hiss!
Everyone took a breath of cold air, and the head of the Shangguan family hesitated and said: These 100,000 stones are said to be urgently used by the court!
Qi Taizhong shook his head and said: Everything must be followed. If the court breaks the rules at will, we will let it go, and sooner or later, let the chopping board and fish meat be slaughtered.Those who do not abide by the rules will have to pay the price.
As for the expensive rice in the capital, and the lack of food for relief, this is the responsibility of the court.
What does the rise and fall of the world have to do with merchants?
The head of the Helian family said softly: Mr. Qi, if this matter is tampered with and if it is discovered, the consequences will be very serious, giving the court an excuse to attack.
Qi Taizhong chuckled and said: What are you doing? The Qi family's fleet was indeed destroyed by pirates and storms, and coastal officials could testify. There are also children who have lost their family members, and all of them are evidenced to be found. The Qi family won't speak, but they will
The head of the Situ family pondered for a moment and said: What if... the court recruited Ning Hou back?
Qi Taizhong shook his head and said: No matter what, this matter will be abandoned.It was originally a lucky intention, but now it seems that the court still has no credibility in the way of gold and silver and cannot be contaminated.Ning Hou will understand the difficulties we have.Unless it starts again, this matter will not be reviewed.
……
The sixth year of Long'an, the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.
early morning.
Early in the morning, before dawn, the Rongguo Mansion was full of people.
Even Daiyu came from Lin's mansion and sent Jia Qiang to the battle.
Jia Mu, Aunt Xue, You Shi, Li Wan, Feng Jie'er, Keqing, Baochai, Xiangyun, Sanchun, Baoqin, Xing Xiuyan, plus their respective maids, as well as the maids of the East Mansion, the whole house is dazzling.
The males include Jia Zheng, Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Lan, Jia Jun and Jia Cong.
Baoyu looked at this girl who was like a flower blooming in her family, and was fascinated by it.
Thinking about it again, most of these girls are good to Jia Qiang, and at this moment, they only have Jia Qiang in their eyes, and their hearts are like a knife.
Jia Qiang is still wearing a regular dress and is covered with a gorilla felt cloak, which is no different from the past.
He looked at everyone in turn and said with a smile: Xuan Mansion is less than four hundred miles away from Beijing, and he will arrive in one day. If I hit pheasant snow rabbits or something there, I will send them back. If there is a beautiful pony, it will be sent back.
Women were originally filled with tears and were worried, but when they heard what he said was light, they all laughed again.
Feng Jie'er laughed loudly and said: Qiang'er, it doesn't matter if you send some pheasants, little wild horses, etc., don't bring back a Tartar princess!
Everyone laughed loudly, and Jia Mu cursed: You can speak, which is a sign of happiness. Could it be that the magpie was born?
Feng Jie'er's eyes swept over Li Wan's radiant white and red face, and she laughed and said: I can't do it, unlike my sister-in-law who has studied, she only calls her good-sounding!
After everyone laughed and made a fuss, Feng Jie'er walked to Li Wan and laughed in a low voice: Sister-in-law, Lan'er is becoming more and more sensible. She just met me and asked me that my body was a little more stable. It was so good that you could accompany me last night!
Li Wan's pretty face turned red immediately. She wanted to explain something, but Feng Jie'er had already walked away and started talking to Jia Qiang and Daiyu.
In fact, it was just a reminder over and over again. I had already said a lot of replies during dinner last night, but how could I say enough?
Jia Qiang was patient and nodded countless times, which made them feel full of pleasure...
Until someone came forward to spread a message, ten founding ministers including the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion and the Duke of Liguo Mansion, and the Wang family Wang Zi Teng came to see him off.
When everyone in the court and the country cursed Jia Qiang and shouted to kill him, Wang Ziteng did not come out to take advantage of the situation, but he had never spoken for Jia Qiang, and he also called on his two concubines, Wang An and Wang Yun, home...
Although Wang An and Wang Yun were released again afterwards, Wang Ziteng never showed up.
I don't want to show up today...
Finally, after Qian Ding Níng Wan's instructions, the women still knew that the time for parting was coming.
It was Xichun who started crying first, and this cry evoked tears from the crowd...
Jia Qiang couldn't stand this, and smiled and bowed to the people in the hall. His eyes were condensed with Daiyu's tearful eyes, and finally turned around and walked away.
……
Ning Mansion front hall.
Seeing Niu Jizong, Liu Fang, Hu Shen and others standing to greet each other, Wang Ziteng stood alone, but Jia Qiang was not in a strange mood and smiled: Why do you need to mobilize the troops like this?
Niu Jizong sighed: Last time, Ning Hou advised me not to go to Jiubian. Unexpectedly, Ning Hou had to leave after turning his face.Without further ado, there are still a few veterans at home who have been on the battlefield, and they are not very capable. If Ning Hou does not dislike him, he will accept his command.
Liu Fang smiled and said: This is just a little bit of intention. There are six or seven in our mansion. I can’t guarantee how big it is, but I must be loyal!
Others also donated generously and gathered fifty people.
Finally, the prince vacated his face and bowed: Ning Hou, he had no face to meet, but the two sons Wang An and Wang Yun have not eaten or drunk for three days.He can't disobey my father, and he also feels guilty of Ning Hou's grace. He is loyal and filial to both sides and can only die.I asked, these two children voluntarily joined the Jia family as their personal soldiers, and were at their own risk.Ning Hou, although the Wang family is not a good weapon, I would like to try these two foolish sons.
After hearing this, everyone was moved when they saw Wang Ziteng's face full of shame and turned his head away from him.
Jia Qiang smiled and said: No need to do this. I am very optimistic about Wang An and Wang Yun. I can become great in the future. Let them come.
When Wang Ziteng heard this, his face became more ashamed and bowed: Just outside the door!Ning Hou, these two sons will be born and died in your future, and the Wang family will not ask about it anymore.
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Niu Jizong looked at his back and sighed: If this person is not burdened by the family, he is also a person, which is a pity.
After saying that, he said to Jia Qiang: Mr. Ning, I don’t know when I will see you again this time.I should be coming out soon after the letter I sent out.If Ning Hou left Beijing before he reunited, he would probably see him again in a few years.We must remember Ning Hou’s affairs about coastal defense and naval affairs and do our best!From then on, Ning Hou was alone among the heroes of Yuanping, and he still had to take good care of himself!
Ning Hou, take care of yourself!!
After Niu Jizong said that, eight people including Liu Fang, Qi Jianhui, Hu Shen, Fei Shi, Jiang Muhai, Xiong Long, Chang Zuo, Yu Rong also bowed their fists and bid farewell together.
Jia Qiang nodded, bowed and bowed, and then the guards of his subordinates turned over and drove to the firearm camp outside the city.
At this time, he and Niu Jizong and others did not know that after Wang Ziteng returned home, he wrote to the court to resign as the commander general of Fengtai camp, and recommended Niu Jizong, the second-class mansion of Duke Zhenguo, to take over.
Emperor Long'an transferred this book to the Duke of Zhao's Mansion. Jiang Duo, who was unconscious in daily life, barely wrote the word "Ke" in the clear gap.
In the capital and capital, different forces are needed to protect it.
Jia Qiang joined Dong Chuan, the son of Xuande Hou in Fire Art City, and the leader of the Zhuque Camp, Zhao Polu, and a group of thousands of people drove towards the Xuanfu direction...
