The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 16 The Day of Rest and Mulling at Green Willow Villa (recommended ticket for collection)
Hongde calendar five years, the twelfth lunar month twenty-two.

Shenjing is very lively today.

Tomorrow is the twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month, the so-called small year, so today the streets are full of people buying new year's goods.

Thanks to the Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the official work system established by the old man stipulates that the annual leave starts from the day before the new year and has to be put after the Lantern Festival when the new year begins.

The Emperor Taishang and Emperor Hongde gave special approval. Officials in Beijing who went back to their hometowns to visit their relatives and elders during their annual leave were even exempted from the Zhengdan ceremony on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Therefore, Jia Jing, who worked for a whole day, had a glorious holiday!

It is worth mentioning that, because I only worked for one day, I was embarrassed to go to receive the generous year-end salary (year-end bonus?), so Jia Jing took out a few of the loss account books of Yu Heng Division that had been retained at the beginning, and presented them It was given to Emperor Hongde.

During this period, Emperor Hongde kept Jia Jing and chatted for a long time.

Then... Then Jia Jing got a bunch of things from Emperor Hongde.

Well, I have to say, the intention of wooing is very obvious!It's just that Jia Jing doesn't know how much of this wooing is sincere and how much is for her own sake.

Afterwards, Jia Jing went to the Dragon Head Palace again, presented an account book again, and was dragged and cared by the Supreme Emperor for a long time.

The year-end bonus is generous again by [-]%!
The old man really spared no effort to win over the honorable forces!
The reason why the two emperors gave a copy of the account book is to inform the two emperors that they did find a problem when they went to the Ministry of Industry.Furthermore, it is to tell the two emperors that if this matter is ignored, it will be exposed in the future, but I cannot blame Jia Jing for my ineffectiveness as an official.

Another level of meaning is naturally to test the attitudes of the two emperors.After all, the Ministry of Industry was regarded as Prince Zhongshun's power, and if Prince Zhongshun dared to do this, Jia Jing naturally didn't believe that the two emperors didn't know anything about it, and they just turned a blind eye to it.

For royal affairs, it is always right to be more careful!
The two accounts were submitted, but there was no news, and Jia Jing immediately understood.

Since the two emperors both wanted to expose this matter, Jia Jing would naturally not make fun of herself, wouldn't it be better to give herself less things?If you have that time to lie down and sleep for a while, is it uncomfortable?
But if you don't pursue it, it's just that you don't pursue the floating ratio of up to six floors.

As for the fact that hundreds of stacks of iron ingots were "lost for no reason" that Jia Jing discovered when checking the inventory, we still need to pay close attention to it.

Let's talk about why Fang Xiaojin's expressions suddenly changed when they heard that there were more than a hundred piles of iron ingots missing in the warehouse.

It's nothing more than that the entire Ministry of Industry at this time has become like the back garden of Prince Zhongshun. The descendant of the deposed prince often goes to the Ministry of Industry to play the autumn wind, and the things he moves back are simply unimportant.

Therefore, in the eyes of Fang Xiaojin and the others, the iron ingots that were "lost for no reason" this time were still the same as before, and they all fell into King Zhongshun's pocket.

It's just unfortunate that this matter was discovered by Jia Jing, and if it got out, it would be quite troublesome.

Therefore, in order to stabilize Jia Jing, several people had no choice but to say that some iron ingots were placed in other places and it would take time to transport them.

Jia Jing naturally followed suit and skipped the inspection of the iron ingots.

After all, Jia Jing is the most clear about the internal reasons.

Outside Shenjing City, Green Willow Villa.

Zhuangzi is backed by a large emerald green mountain and occupies a huge area. It is named for the huge willow tree in the center of Zhuangzi that is as thick as several people hugging it.

At this time, under the huge willow tree, Jia Jing was wearing blue and white arrow sleeves, and a black cloak was hanging down behind her, making her look more and more like a crown jade, heroic, and extremely handsome.At this moment, Jia Jing was looking up at the extremely tall willow tree in front of her.

"Master, the tenants in the village have arrived!" Lai Fu reminded Jia Jing in a low voice behind him.

Turning around, Jia Jing looked at the tenant representatives who had gathered at her summons.

More than a dozen people looked at the owner in front of them, and then under the signal of an old man, they all knelt down and kowtowed three times firmly to Jia Jing.

"All the young and old in Li Family Village, kneel down and thank Master for his life!"

Jia Jing stood quietly under the willow tree, watching the people in Lijia Village kowtow to herself, but did not stop them.

He thought he deserved these bangs.

In this era when many common people are not fed enough to wear warm clothes, Jia Jing can take the initiative to lower the rent so that these tenants can eat enough to wear warm clothes in their farms without being oppressed, which is considered a great kindness , it is not an exaggeration to call it the grace of life.

What's more, this Li family village was rescued by Jia Jing from Liaodong from the Tatars' iron hooves. Because of their location, their village was often invaded by Tatars, so Jia Jing paid the road money for this group of people. , so that they could come to the pass and take them in their own farms.

In this way, the grace of saving life and the grace of surviving are naturally accepted after a few rings.

After everyone stood up after saluting, Jia Jing motioned for the leading old man to come forward.

"Mr. Li, let me make a long story short. There is only one thing to call you here this time, and that is to take advantage of the gap between the years and the next year. I want to rebuild the Green Willow Villa. I need some manpower, and I have to trouble Village Chief Li. Convoy on your behalf."

"The boss is planning to move here?" The old man's words were full of surprises, "Don't worry, we will gather everyone when we go back. We dare not say if there are too many people. Three to five hundred people are still possible!"

Jia Jing nodded, first answered the old man's question, and then continued: "At the end of the year, I asked the butler in the village to prepare more meat, but for those who come to work here, the village will take care of three meals a day, and in addition Each person is paid daily according to the price of working outside."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Jia Jing said the words, the old man was not very happy, "Didn't you slap us in the face when you said this, my boss? You have not been able to repay your life-saving grace, and now I want you to take care of me if I do you a favor." We don’t have the face to accept wages!”

Jia Jing interrupted the old man's words, "It's all small money, let's treat it as the Zhuangzi celebrating the New Year with the big guys, let's make it lively!"

"My boss is benevolent!"

When everyone in Lijia Village had left, Jia Jing called Future Fu Shuanzhu to him, and asked, "This time I said I'm going to find a wife for you brothers. Is there anyone who's interested? I'll let you decide!"

In a word, Future Fu made a big blush, but Shuan Zhu on the other side was quite moved, "I haven't seen anything promising yet, but I'm not in a hurry!"

"That's fine. Let's talk about it when you meet someone you like! Laifu Shuanzhu, bring bows, arrows, knives, and guns. Let's go up the mountain today."

…………

The sun is gradually setting, and the red sunset glow is all over the western sky.

Jia Jing took the lead and galloped in front, her black cloak fluttering in the wind, followed by thirty heavy cavalry behind.

In the back, the two brothers Laifu Shuanzhu were chasing desperately.

Even though the horses of the two were already at the best level available in the market, when facing the system horses under Jia Jing and a group of cavalry, they were still far from enough to look at, and they were pulled further and further away.

Thus, such a scene appeared on the official road. A group of about 30 heavy armored cavalry in front, led by a young general wearing a black cloak, headed straight for the gate of Shenjing with the afterglow of the sunset.

Behind the cavalry squad, two cavalry also wearing heavy armor were chasing desperately...
