dream of red mansion

As for the emperor, he is the final decision maker, so naturally he has to listen to opinions first...

Therefore, only Jia Qing and Cui Wenlong were talking.However, when Jia Qing finished his last sentence, everyone present became active.

To put it bluntly, handling state affairs is nothing more than a word of "money"!As long as money is paid, all public affairs will be easier to deal with.Therefore, for the court to increase the revenue of the treasury in a legitimate way, it is good governance!

However, for individuals, it is not necessarily the case.Especially for those ministers who are enjoying the contribution of salt merchants...

Seeing that Cui Wenlong was also lost in thought.Emperor Zhengqing suddenly said to Jia Qing: "Okay, you must be a little tired after traveling all the way, you should go down first."

Jia Qing was taken aback for a moment, then still bowed and said: "Yes, I will retire."

After finishing speaking, he exited the South Study Room.

This is not the Qing Dynasty. You don't have to kneel down when you see the emperor.Except for the necessary kneeling when meeting, there is no need to pay respects when leaving.

"What do you think of Cui Aiqing?"

As soon as Jia Qing left, Emperor Zhengqing asked.

Cui Wenlong was still considering the feasibility of what Jia Qing said, but when he heard Emperor Zhengqing ask him, he suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for being a talented person..."

Emperor Zhengqing was startled, he asked what Jia Qing said about the method, and then reacted: "So, Cui Aiqing also thinks it is feasible?"

Seeing Cui Wenlong shaking his head again, he said, "Otherwise, this matter is very involved, and there are too many things to discuss, otherwise, it will easily cause trouble."

Emperor Zhengqing was dissatisfied and said, "Then why do you praise it so much?"

Cui Wenlong said with a smile: "Didn't your Majesty find out? General Jia is not only talented at such a young age, but he is also so familiar with economics. To be honest, if it weren't for the humble minister who happened to be the agent of the Ministry of Finance, the economic One knows a little more than ordinary people, and I'm afraid they can't fully understand the views and concepts put forward by General Jia just now.

With such a talent, given time, he will surely become a ruler in the hands of His Majesty. This is the blessing of having successors in the imperial court.

It can be seen that Mr. Fang is good at teaching disciples! "

Fang Shou quickly said: "Master Cui is ridiculously praised, he just occasionally thinks a little differently from ordinary people, it is absolutely unacceptable for Master Cui to speak so loudly."

"Cui Aiqing also said that he will surely become my minister of governance. Could it be that Aiqing forgot that when he returned to Beijing this time, he brought back twelve brothel dancers at once! In addition to the matter of the white lotus teaching demon girls... If you don't learn well at a young age, in my opinion, you will definitely be a lustful person in the future." Emperor Zhengqing snorted suddenly.

Fang Shou suddenly became embarrassed, stood up and said: "The minister is negligent in discipline, please punish him by Your Majesty."

Cui Wenlong laughed and said, "This is what a young man should have. With the status of General Jia, these are really nothing. Why should His Majesty be angry about this?"

If Jia Qing knew that Cui Wenlong was speaking for him like this behind his back, he would definitely give him money quietly, so that he can continue to work hard...

Emperor Zhengqing asked Fang Shou to sit down, and then said to Cui Wenlong angrily: "I'm not angry, it's fine if I'm an ordinary courtier, but as Cui Aiqing said, Jia Qing is indeed a piece of rough jade, I just don't want him The two words of color delay the enterprising heart!

Such things are not uncommon in history! "

Cui Wenlong smiled without saying a word.Fang Shoudao: "My minister thanked His Majesty for his great love. After I return, I will teach him well and will not let him live up to His Majesty's love and care."

......

Not to mention the subsequent political discussions of the Chinese dynasties in the South Study Room.After Jia Qing left the palace, after thinking about it, he took advantage of the weather and went to Xuanzhen Temple outside the city to see Jia Jing.

After contemplating, Jia Qing asked Daotong to go in to report, originally thinking that Jia Jing would be the same as before and let him leave directly.Unexpectedly, after a while, Dao Tong came out and said: "This is given to you by a real person!"

Speaking of handing over a piece of paper, Jia Qing was a little surprised. When he opened it, there were only four words on it:

Respectfully

Caution

Jia Qing stared at the spot, stood there for a while, bowed to the hall, got up and left.

......

In Rongqing hall, Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and Li Wan sat together wiping dominoes.Originally Wang Xifeng also wanted to participate, but Jia Mu refused to let her go back and rest by herself, so Li Wan took her place.

Taking advantage of the time between the draw, Aunt Xue suddenly said: "Old lady, there is a coincidence, I wonder if the old lady would like to hear it?"

Jia Mu said: "My aunt, just talk. It's true. Without Feng girl talking, we just play cards in silence, and we have less fun. Just talk... If you have anything to say, just talk, There's nothing I don't like to hear."

So, Aunt Xue slowly told Mother Jia about the story that Xue Xiao wrote to her about Jia Qing's nonsense.

After hearing this, Jia Mu was very surprised: "Is there such a coincidence in the world?"

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "That's right, it's just that our family is a little embarrassed..."

Jia's mother blamed: "Hey, what did the aunt say, what's the point! If this is the case, I can see that I have to thank you very much, for sending people to his door from such a long distance."

As she spoke, Mother Jia couldn't help laughing.If what Jia Yucun said is true, the Xue family really sent people here from a long way!

Aunt Xue smiled wryly in her heart.When Xue Pan bought Xiangling, he didn't intend to be Aunt Xue's maid!

(Buying a concubine is not the same as buying a maid. Refer to Jia Amnesty who went to buy a concubine and spent a full 800 taels of silver. No maid can sell for such a high price)

It was only later that Aunt Xue saw that people were killed, and for Xue Pan's consideration, she forcibly took the person to her side, and said to the outside world that she was buying a maid...

If people who knew the inside story saw Xiangling working as a maid by her side, they would not feel so strongly against Xue Pan after all, this was her idea.

As for why Aunt Xue still agreed to return the Xiangling to Xue Pan, it was probably because she couldn't bear Xue Pan's pleading, and she also thought that the matter was over.

"The old lady was joking... I heard that Brother Qing has brought Xiangling girl's biological mother to the capital, so I also want to ask the old lady to be a middleman to return Xiangling girl to her mother so that the mother will be able to let her go." His family can have a happy family together."

Jia Mu said: "It's not difficult, but we have to see if it's really such a coincidence! Besides, the concubine's house spent money to buy a maid. If it's really such a coincidence, he wouldn't want it for nothing." My concubine’s family is alone, and I will ask him to deliver the silver to my concubine’s house in person.”

Aunt Xue actually wanted to see if it was true or not.It's just that she knows how to be a person, first give the person to Jia Mu, and whether it is true or not, she will show her attitude anyway, and she is not afraid of hurting anyone's face.

"What did the old lady say? How much is a maid worth? The old lady also thinks I'm too stingy."

"Forget it, let him be the host when the time comes, and toast to my aunt and wife!"

Everyone laughed.Mother Jia waved her hand and called a servant girl over, "Fei Cui, you go to the East Mansion and wait. If Brother Qing returns to the mansion, let him come over quickly."

"Hey" Fei Cui obeyed and left.

Aunt Xue also said to her maid: "You also go back and ask Baochai to bring Xiangling here."

"Yes."

......

"Second Master is back!"

In the Ning'an Hall of Ningguo Mansion, Youshi and Qinshi heard the maid's reply, and quickly called the maidservants to bring out the hot food and put it on the table.

When Jia Qing returned home, the sky was completely dark.

Before arriving at Ning'an Hall, I saw a large group of people standing to welcome me.
