The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 448 Abolition of the Mansion Corps

Three days later, Xiao Daozong, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, once again asked to abolish the government corps in the early court.

Li Yuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, made a play, and the 21 government corps in the imperial capital also made a request to the Ministry of War to abolish the corps of each government.

The reason is naturally that the army regiments of various prefectures lost almost all of their losses in the Battle of North Wendura, whether it was personnel or weapons.It is still silver taels, and it is difficult for all governments to bear it.

Emperor Yuanheng did not shelve it this time, but handed it over to the Military Aircraft Department for court discussion before deciding.

Although no final decision has been made, everyone knows that the abolition of the government corps is imperative and irreversible.

This made the major families breathe a sigh of relief, and they can get rid of this heavy burden from now on.

The next day after receiving the news, Jia Min set off and returned to Bukui.Qin Zhong and Jia Qin accompanied him.

Because the corps of the Jia Mansion will also be abolished, and the Provincial Court will be repaired, Jia Lian, Jia Qiang, Jia Yun, Jia Ping, and Jia Zhi will stay at home and will not go to Bukui.

Anyway, I will come back after I go, so I don't need to toss back and forth. It's better to stay at home and take care of the repair and construction of the province.

The day before his departure, Jia Min returned to the mansion.

With the old lady, Mrs. Wang, Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, etc., they finally agreed on the matter of sending relatives to another hospital.Two important things were identified.

The first is the silver issue.

Originally, 40 taels had been raised. This time, Jia Min invested 10 taels.

His current funds come from the training class project with Fang Xiucai, the profits from the workshop in Xiaguazi, the profits from Ninger's Zhili, and the profits from long-distance carriages with Feng Ziying and others.

The old lady added an additional 10 taels of silver, which belonged to Daiyu.

It turned out that before Lin Ruhai died, in order to arrange for Daiyu, he put 10 taels of silver to the ancestor in advance.

This time the old lady took it out, and it was Daiyu's shares.

For the remaining 20 taels, Jia Min and Jia Lian had made a new budget and reduced the investment by 9 taels.In fact, there is still a gap of 11 taels.

Among the houses, some increased their investment and raised part of it.

According to Jia Min's plan, the shops facing the street will be sold or leased in advance. Those who are interested will pay the money now, and the house will be handed over in three months.These commercial properties were pre-sold.

Qin Keqing, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, Xue Pan, Jia Lian, Jia She, Mrs. Wang, Jia Zhen, You Shi, Fang Xiucai, etc. all bought shops.

Even the Ji University scholar came to buy two rooms after hearing about it.

When Mrs. He heard about it and wanted to buy shares, the funds were already enough.In the end, for the sake of relatives, the old lady reduced Daiyu's investment by 3 taels and gave it to Mrs. He.

The old lady gave the remaining 3 taels of silver to Jia Min.

Ask Jia Min to hand over 5000 taels to Daiyu for daily expenses, and the remaining 5000 taels will be arranged by Jia Min to do some business and make money for Daiyu.

The concubine's family repaired and built the relatives' house. From the beginning, they felt extremely honored and vigorous, and soon turned into a miserable operation, carrying heavy burdens.

Only Jia's House seems to have relieved this heavy burden with ease.

However, this time, the people in Jia's mansion also learned to be shrewd.

For the solution proposed by Jia Min, the old lady issued a strict order: keep it strictly confidential and do not make it public.

This move was unanimously approved by all the masters.

It's not that their awareness has suddenly improved, but because they have invested their own money, their interests have been tied together, and they know that they should keep business secrets.

The second is about personnel issues.

Under Jia Min's proposal, it was formally confirmed that Jia Lian presided over the revision of the provincial court.Assisted by Xue Biao, Jia Qiang, Jia Yun, Jia Ping, Jia Zhi, etc.

The daily business in the two prefectures is the same as the old system.The East Mansion will continue to be presided over by Qin Keqing, while the West Mansion will be presided over by Li Wan and Tanchun.

The internal affairs of the East Mansion were gradually presided over by You Shi, while the internal affairs of the West Mansion continued to be presided over by Wang Xifeng.

As for Jia She and Jia Zhen, they continued to have fun.Jia Zheng went on to be his salaryman and the head of the happy country.

The old lady continued to lead the female relatives to eat, drink and have fun.

Girls like Yingchun, Xichun, Baoqin, Xing Xiuyan, and Shi Xiangyun, who often come here, continued to write poems and paint, hurting spring and mourning autumn.

While serving the master, the maids continued to make some extra money by making money.

The male servants who originally collapsed the popcorn continued to do contract processing.

For Zhuangzi outside, the co-production contract has brought out the sweetness, and the Jia family has no worries, just sit and collect the money.

Although there was no fourth master Min around, those annual meetings, awards, redemption, reforms and other stormy events lacked a lot of excitement and expectations.However, compared to other homes, Jia's Mansion is still a very good place.

In terms of generosity and benevolence to the servants, Jia's mansion is indeed top-notch among the big families, and the servants are satisfied.

On March [-]th of the Jimao year, Jia Min returned to Bukui with Qin Zhong and Jia Qin.Along with Jia Min's Jinshi Sun Yuanfei.

When Jia Min came back, he went to Sun Yuanfei's house.

At this time, Sun Yuanfei had already resigned from his official position. In his own words, he would hang out with Jia Min from now on.

After serving as an imperial envoy for Wendula affairs, he first rescued the prince and princess, then recovered South Wendula, and finally rescued [-] Dade prisoners of war. For Wang Ziteng, this mission has been successfully completed.

When he was in danger, he only brought half of his own men and horses to accomplish such a feat. Looking at the entire imperial court, there were probably not many people who could do it.

Ordinarily, Wang Ziteng should be very happy, but he just can't be happy.

Under normal circumstances, after these things are completed, he should have been recruited back to the court long ago.However, the emperor didn't invite him back for a long time, and Wang Ziteng already had a premonition.

He knew that the emperor asked him to come here to solve the last problem.

Now, the official news is finally here.

Two days ago, the official document from the Ministry of War had arrived.

According to the court discussion of the academicians of the Military Aircraft Department and the emperor's decree, all the government corps were officially abolished.Ask Wang Ziteng to do a good job in the dismantling, handover, appeasement and aftermath of the Bukui Mansion Corps.

Wang Ziteng had already received the news that Jia Min would be back in the near future, so he suppressed the news for the time being.

This matter was rather difficult, and he wanted to wait for Jia Min to come back and discuss it before deciding what to do.

For this errand, Wang Ziteng felt annoyed, absurd, and helpless.

"Hey, although I already know that there will be this step, but when the situation is imminent, how do I talk to brother Ming?"

Wang Ziteng sat for a while, stood for a while, feeling irritable.

"Shiweng, this matter is really difficult to do. The emperor's move is really a bit..., alas."

Master Jiang also found this difficult.

"At the beginning, the emperor appointed Shiweng Commander-in-Chief Wendula's affairs in order to rely on Huaiyuan and his army regiment. Now that Wendula's overall situation has been settled, it would be chilling to kill the donkey."

"With 700 soldiers, South Vendura can be pacified, and with 6000 soldiers, the Tatars can be defeated. This time, the Ministry of War has placed special emphasis on appeasement. It can be seen that it is also very afraid of the government army."

"They are afraid that others will not be able to deal with it. If they don't pay attention, the government army will change and become a terrifying force. That's why they asked Shi Weng to stay here and use your relationship with Huaiyuan to ask you to come forward to deal with this matter."

"Huaiyuan has no choice but to compromise because of your affection, so they achieved their goal."

"It's more than that. First, Jia Lin was asked to take over Bu Kui, and Feng Ziying was replaced, so as to provoke the relationship between the Beijing Camp and the Fubing Corps. Now I am asked to deal with this matter, and to provoke the relationship between me and Brother Ming. It is really painstaking .”

"In the eyes of others, I used Brother Ming and the Fubingtuan to make great achievements here, and then I personally abolished the Fubingtuan, and I was classified as an ungrateful villain. It can be said that I did everything I could. .”

"Huaiyuan came back today, what is Shiweng going to do with it?"

"How else can I deal with it? I can only follow orders."

"Huiyuan understands the righteousness and recognizes relatives. I have expected this result before, and I probably won't say anything. As long as Huaiyuan speaks, the rest of the Fubingtuan will not say anything."

"It doesn't seem to be a big problem to disband the government corps. However, the aftermath is quite debatable."

"First, there is the matter of leaving and leaving personnel. The [-]st, [-]nd and [-]rd regiments are all government soldiers and should be abolished. The Zhaohai Department of the [-]th regiment used to have some people who were stationed in the Bukui Yamen, so it seems that they should be retained."

"This part should have been kept. When the time comes, ask Huaiyuan and Zhao Dahai to see if he is willing to manage Guanzhuang, or join the Beijing Camp and follow their wishes. These are elite teachers, staying here will also benefit Jialin. help."

"They were all trained by Huaiyuan, and they are loyal to Huaiyuan. Looking at the relationship between Huaiyuan and me, they will also give Jialin face."

"What's left is the firearms and other equipment of the Fubingtuan. Most of these equipment were purchased by Huaiyuan with his own money. What should we do with the money?"

Since the government corps has been abolished, they cannot be allowed to keep all kinds of weapons.The handling of these weapons is a trouble.

It would be easy to handle if it was all money from the court, but the problem is that it is private money.

Jia Min used his own money to equip the army and fight for the court, and finally dismissed it. If he was asked to lose money, it would be unjustifiable.

"Those firearms, why don't you just buy them at a price and just give them to Jialin. They will be useful here in the future. As for the money, I don't think the imperial court will give it out, so I'll pay it from Bu Kui. It's just a matter of time." If it’s not enough, I will owe it first and pay later, with Jialin here, I will never renege on my debt.”

"Where's the firearms workshop in Huaiyuan?"

"The firearms workshop is Huaiyuan's own, and it also has the permission of the court. Huaiyuan can handle it by himself."

"That Dai Zhi, I think he is a talent, do you want to recruit him?"

"There's no need for this. Do you think he will work hard for us? Huaiyuan has a kindness for him, and we can't recruit him. Besides, Huaiyuan is a lesson. If the Beijing camp becomes invincible like the Fubingtuan A strong team, not far from being abolished."

"How to deal with local affairs and exile affairs?"

"Huaiyuan's achievements in Bukui are not only in military affairs. Local affairs and exile affairs are even more remarkable. You should discuss it with Jialin. Huaiyuan's original rules and regulations will remain the same, and Xiao Guicao will follow suit."

"Yang Lin, Dianshi, is also a rare talent. We must keep him. With Yang Lin, Zhao Dahai, Feng Kui, Xu Mingtao and others, Jialin is in Bukui, and the concubine will have little worries."
