The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 482 Jia Min is nothing to worry about

When Jia Yuanchun came back to visit her relatives in the first month of this year, her family gave her a detailed introduction to the process of building the relatives' hospital.

Concubine Zhou and Concubine Wu's family owed debts due to the provincial court. Jia Yuanchun knew about it when he was in the palace.

Although the family members had already told her the general situation when they visited relatives in the palace.But without seeing it with her own eyes, she was still skeptical,

It wasn't until I came back this time that I was completely relieved.

The family did not hide it this time, and attributed the idea of ​​building the provincial hospital to Jia Min's credit.

In fact, without her family telling her, she had already realized that this must be Jia Min's idea.

She knew everyone in the family, except for Jia Min, no one would come up with such a brilliant idea.

What makes her more regretful is that she didn't see Jia Min this time.

She had only seen this brother once in such a long time.It was just a few words in a hurry, and they parted.

Not long after Jia Yuanchun returned, he sent a message, telling Baoyu and the girls not to let the Grand View Garden sit idle.

Now, they have already moved into the Grand View Garden one after another.

Baoyu is Yihong Courtyard, Li Wan is Daoxiang Village, Yingchun lives in Zilingzhou, Tanchun lives in Qiushuangzhai, Xichun lives in Nuanxiangwu.

The Xiaoxiang Pavilion was left to Daiyu, and the Hengwu Garden was left to Baochai.

Cuilong nunnery was originally prepared for Miaoyu, but Miaoyu is not there, and there are currently two nuns there.

At the request of Baoyu, another meditation hall was added, and Baoyu would live there for a while from time to time.

Sometimes Tana lives in Yihong Courtyard, and sometimes she goes back to live in her yurt.

Although Baoyu and Tana are not very close now, they still treat each other with courtesy.

After welcoming Tana back, Baoyu began to study hard.

In the past when Jia Zheng beat him, he didn't want to read it, but now no one is urging him, but he is getting better and better. He has told his ancestors and Mrs. Wang more than once that he wants to come back with an examination.

The old ancestors were naturally happy, and they praised Baoyu's future when they met everyone.

Mrs. Wang was also very happy, she did not know how much Amitabha was recited.

It's just that Baoyu often goes to the meditation hall, which makes them a little worried.From nowhere came a monk with a scarlet head, who was left there by Baoyu, and the two often talked about scriptures and Dharma together.

At first they were also worried about Baoyu, but seeing that he had no other abnormalities, people just let it go.

The twelve officials bought from Suzhou, including Qiguan, Fangguan, and Ouguan, live in Yuyintang, which is actually together with Xiyuanzi.Directly opposite is the stage.

Now I sing here almost every day.

In addition to Jia's own troupe, other troupes from the imperial capital, and even some famous troupes from other places will also perform here.

Some famous actors will also come here to sing.

The one who came to sing today is Jiang Yuhan, a famous actor in the imperial capital.

Since the performers are famous actors, the viewers are not ordinary grassroots.Most of the people who come here are famous people, who are either rich or noble.

It costs a lot of money to go to the Yuyintang to watch a play.Not only do you have to buy tickets when you come in, but you also have tea, snacks, melons and fruits for sale after you come in.

When rich people come, they are not short of the money.Even if I am reluctant to part with the money and see other people buying it, I can't lose my position, but if I bite the bullet, I still have to buy some, just to make a show.

When watching a movie, tipping is also indispensable.Sending flower baskets to Jiaoer is also a common thing to do.

Today, several distinguished guests also came, who can be regarded as family friends of the Jia family, namely Song Kuan, the son of Dongping Prince, Li Gan, the son of Xining Prince, and Han Qi, the son of Nan'an Prince.

Several people were roughly familiar with Jia Lian. Jia Lian said some polite words, gave some fruits and snacks, and went out to work.

Now that the play is over, the three of them are drinking tea and chatting in a VIP room.

Outside the door are several people's followers, who guard the door and prevent idlers from entering.

"I've heard that it's lively here, and it's quite new, but now that it's here, it's unexpected, and it's an eye-opener."

Li Gan felt a little emotional.

"That's right, Jia Huaiyuan always does things unexpectedly, and he is the only one who can come up with such ideas. I don't think it will take long before people from all over the world will follow suit."

Han Qi has never been too fond of Jia Min, but this time he told the truth.

"Nowadays, every family has built a family home, and almost all of them have incurred high debts. Only Jia's family, not only did not lose money, but asked them to get a golden chicken that lays eggs. Jia Huaiyuan's vision is far-sighted, and his planning is deep. .”

As Song Kuan said, there seemed to be some fascination on his face.

He recalled the time when he first went to Yeduju and invited Jia Min to Dajinmen for a drink.

That seems to be a very distant thing, but the scene of that scene is clearly presented in front of my eyes.

"Although Jia Min has gone far away, he has left his distinctive mark here."

"Not only here, but even Prince Teng of Jiujiang. Isn't it his mark? Today, Prince Teng's Beijing camp is all trained by Jia Min's people. It is really a strong team, which is daunting."

"Well, this time, I originally wanted to use the name of suppressing bandits to gradually infiltrate Hunan, and then gradually expand north and east, penetrate into Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui, and then enter the land of fish and rice in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and gradually eat away at the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River. Thinking of it, the emperor actually sent Wang Ziteng away."

"Yeah, I just went to Jia Min, a strong opponent, and now there is a prince Teng, which can be said to have fallen short."

"In the past, I only focused on Jia Min, but I didn't expect that he would secretly send someone to train the Beijing camp in Shengjing."

"Actually, when Wang Ziteng was in charge of Wendula's affairs, we should have expected that Jia Min would do this. Wang Ziteng saw the strength of Jia Min's army, so he would naturally be tempted. The two are nephews. The relatives, naturally hit it off, but we ignored it."

Just as Yuanheng Tianzi, Wang Ziteng and Changan expected, the banditry in the south is a play written, directed and acted by San Francisco.

Although San Francisco has hundreds of thousands of elite imperial court teachers in its hands, they have always lived in remote and poor places such as Yun, Gui, and Guangxi.

No matter when, the transfer of troops is an extremely sensitive matter.

There is no war, no order from the court, even the San Francisco, dare not easily mobilize the army and leave their garrison.

In desperation, he came up with the idea of ​​using his own soldiers and horses to pretend to be bandits, and then in the name of suppressing bandits, let the army leave the station and infiltrate into Hunan and other places.

With the development of the current situation, in the future, the territory under his control will gradually move northward.

In doing so, there are two strategic purposes.

One is to gradually approach the Central Plains and the imperial capital, and take the initiative in a strategic position.

The second is to occupy the rich and prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River.

The land of Yunnan and Guizhou has a sparse population and a backward economy, so it is difficult to support a large-scale war.

Only by controlling the affluent lands around the two lakes, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, can a large amount of military pay and food be raised, and at the same time cut off the imperial court, the most important source of taxation.

San Francisco wants to rebel, it is not a year or two.At least ten years ago, there had been such premeditation.

The reason why it has not been opposed is because it is worried that it will not be able to support a long-term war.

This action is actually just a partial action.They were not prepared for a large-scale war, so the prince retreated as soon as he left.

The consequence of this action is to expose his intentions.

The reason why Shangzuo asked for the withdrawal of the feudal clan was nothing more than a ploy to advance by retreating.Because they also know that the emperor is not ready to withdraw the domain.

Both parties are aware of each other's intentions.It's just that it hasn't broken the skin in the end.

"Brother Song, what happened to the prince recently?"

"He is now dealing with King Jin and King Chu, and is busy keeping the crown prince."

"The emperor's sudden attack on Luo Qihua and Wan Xintang this time, does it mean that the next step is to attack us?"

Han Qi couldn't help feeling a little worried.

If the emperor decides to withdraw the domain, these hostages will be the first to suffer.

"No, if he wanted to do something, the emperor would have already done so. Why wait until today? Now he doesn't have any people or soldiers he can use. Otherwise, can Li Yuan be let go this time?"

"What do you think the emperor thinks? The last time he practiced the soldiers, he offended the nobles. This time, he offended his relatives when he repaired the provincial court. Nowadays, there are no outstanding people among the military generals, and most of the civil servants are Mediocre."

"That's right, there are indeed only a handful of capable ministers and generals in the imperial court. The Lu University scholar is a mediocre person, with more than enough achievements and insufficient pioneering. He is young and has never fought. Liu Changfeng is barely a talent, but he has no experience in running an army. .”

"Xiu Tonggui is only good at civil affairs. Ji Mingluan is essentially a literati. Luo Qihua only cares about making money. Prince Zhongshun is detached from morality and only cares about his own little calculations."

"Apart from the frontier officials, there is only one Prince Teng, who has both ability and the trust of the emperor, so he has to run around, back and forth, exhausted."

"Jin Wang and Chu Wang Zhi are both talented and short-sighted. They are just dudes, and they are only busy fighting for the heir apparent at present."

"The prince has no prestige and no achievements. In the battle of North Wendula, he relied on Chang'an's death battle and Jia Min's rescue to save his life."

"He can cooperate with us and seek skins from tigers, which shows how stupid this person is."

"It's because of this that we fully support him in ascending to the position of Great Treasure in the future?"

"Yes, do you prefer a talented and generous emperor, or a fatuous and incompetent emperor?"

"On the contrary, Jia Min has suddenly emerged. He has both civil and military skills, and he is an unrivaled talent. If I were the prince, I would definitely have Jia Min in my pocket."

"Jia Min is indeed a talented person, but it's a pity that he is too opinionated, showing his sharpness, and disobedient. Even the emperor won't tolerate him, and the prince has no heart."

"This means that obedient people are not capable, and capable people are disobedient."

"Therefore, Jia Min is nothing to worry about. Even if he is so talented and people don't use him, he can only sigh in vain."

"So, can't we sit back and relax?"

"That's not the case. Wang Ziteng is a confidant's trouble. It's better to get rid of it sooner."

Although what Song Kuan said was light and calm, Li Qian and Han Qi felt a strong killing intent.

Looking at Jia Lian who was busy outside the window, he couldn't help but think of Jia Min who made them jealous all the time.

Where is this Jia Min now?

These days, Beihai is quite lively. Will he be there?
