The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 140
Liaodong, Shaanxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangdong and Guangxi in the Great Zhou Dynasty were not peaceful.

And in these years, there has been a lot of construction in the country, the construction of imperial tombs, Taoist temples, palaces...etc.

So when the Supreme Emperor suddenly said that state affairs should be the most important thing, it was definitely not because of state affairs. There must be deep meaning in it, and all veterans understand it.

Chen Deyan came out of Rongguo Mansion, followed by a little tail, and then in Ningguo Mansion, when Jia Rong came out, they went to Xuanzhen Temple together.

Jia Rong also got married last year, the daughter of an ordinary family with the surname Hu, and she is said to be very respectful.

Whether it is serving the elders or treating the servants, they are all praised, even the old lady of Rongguo Mansion praised them.

At that time, Chen Deyan gave a big gift on behalf of his elder brother, and he also gave a big gift himself.

Jia Rong knew that Chen Deyan was different from ordinary people. He was Tang Qing'an's third sworn brother whom Tang Qing'an valued very much, and he worked around Beijing for Tang Qing'an.

And Tang Qing'an was a person from Jia's house, the two depended on each other, and they were actually one, so the two talked and laughed all the way, and their relationship was very good.

When they arrived at Xuanzhen Temple, Jia Rong respectfully served the old man for dinner, while Chen Deyan also smiled and helped him.

Jia Jing's appetite has been good recently, much larger than in previous years, and he is more energetic.

"How did your elder brother think of meddling in so many things in North Korea?"

Jia Jing exclaimed.

Tang Qing'an did not hide anything, and in the letter he wrote to Jia Jing, he truthfully told Jia Jing about his stay in North Korea.

Although the two hadn't met each other so far, they had known each other for a long time. Tang Qing'an knew that this person was not simple, so he always paid attention to it.

Jia Zhen, Jia Zheng, and Jia She of the Jia Mansion are all mediocre, with average abilities, unable to cope with complicated situations, and are unreliable.

Only this person is Dinghaishenzhen.

Jia Jing originally only saw that this son was talented and could be brought into the hands of the Jia family, but he did not expect this son to be so talented.

Although North Korea is a vassal state of the Great Zhou, it is also a country thousands of miles long.

Turning one's hands into clouds and hands into rain so easily in North Korea is like taking a walk in a garden, and it's a bit... staggering to know how easy it is.

Accurately judge the situation, and immediately find the opportunity to take advantage of it.

Jia Jing asked himself that he couldn't do it himself.

Because this is not something humans can do.

As Tang Qing'an's foster brother, Chen Deyan should be polite to his elder brother when he heard the elder's praise, but he didn't want to.

His eldest brother's methods in North Korea also left him speechless.

Both of them thought that the North Korean coup was because Tang Qing'an was looking for an opportunity to do so quietly, such as agreeing to those interested people in North Korea.

Taking this as an opportunity, they pried off the beginning of the North Korean coup, and adapted to the situation, figured out the hearts of the North Korean rulers, and played with them to gain various benefits.

Like a fisherman, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

This method is too natural, impeccable, without a trace of man-made signs.

In addition to amazed or amazed.

It's a pity that Tang Qing'an is not here, otherwise he would be somewhat ashamed of the shocked expression on the face of the old and the young.

On the contrary, Jia Rong's face was the most normal. She only felt that Tang Qing'an was doing well, but she couldn't figure out why her grandfather behaved like this.

Jia Jing felt emotional in his heart.

When he was young, he was full of arrogance and devoted himself to building a career without caring about his family.

After everything disappeared, I wanted to spread the branches and leaves, but I was powerless, so I got a girl.

It's a pity that she is too young, the youngest lady in the Jia family.

"Li Dazu from Beizhen and Shi Nai from Jinzhou are urging troops and supplies to the imperial court every day. How dare your elder brother disperse his troops by himself."

Hearing his grandfather's words, Jia Rong suddenly thought that he had followed their train of thought, and quite agreed with his grandfather's words, looking at Chen Deyan and couldn't help saying.

"Brother Tang really shouldn't be like this. No matter how difficult it is, we are here in the capital to help him, so why is this happening?"

Chen Deyan said with a smile.

"Brother Rong is right, but my eldest brother must have his own reasons for his actions."

Neither of them answered Jia Rong's doubts.

Chen Deyan didn't want to offend Jia Rong, and as Jia Rong's grandfather, Jia Jing, although he knew that his eldest grandson was short-sighted, he didn't teach him.

Jia Jing is a person who will not pull out seedlings to encourage growth, but will only follow the trend and use people according to their talents.

For example, a thousand-mile horse, a hundred-mile horse.

A Chollima only needs to do what a Chollima does. Jia Jing will not use a Chollima to do what a Chollima does, let alone force a Chollima to do what a Chollima does.

My eldest grandson is suitable for socializing with Gaomen Guidi in the capital, not for talking about big things, let alone going to Jinzhou.

Forcing him to learn a deeper level will make him sleepy, more stupid, and more at a loss.

Only by letting him do ordinary communication can he feel like a fish in water, and he can't be too demanding, otherwise he will be stuck.

"Your elder brother's move is very good, it is a hundred times better than a thousand words."

Jia Jing laughed.

"Brother said that it was all due to the servants who were loyal to the imperial court. Although these people were temporarily subjugated to the barbarians, they actually served the imperial court and made a lot of contributions.

Although the eldest brother has predicted, but without the affirmation of these people, the eldest brother would not dare to disarm. "

Chen Deyan smiled at Jia Rong, then turned around and explained to Jia Jing.

Jia Rong is also used to it.

He likes to come to his grandfather. Only when he is with his grandfather does he feel that he is not bad. Only when he faces his father, he can't think of anything.

The more so, the more his father scolded him, the more his father scolded him, the more he was at a loss, feeling that everything he did was wrong.

"In the past, the governor of Liaodong was ignorant of the barbarians, but the barbarians found out about Liaozuo's inquiries through the horse market, so they could find opportunities to take advantage of and defeated the imperial army one after another. It is not surprising that Liaozuo was defeated like this. .

Now that the barbarians have occupied Liaozuo, your elder brother is very clear about the actions of the barbarians, so there should be a big victory.

I'm not worried about your elder brother's situation in Liaodong now. Sooner or later it will be his credit, but is your elder brother really determined to do this? "

Chen Deyan knew that Jia Jing was asking about ginseng.

This matter seems to be to deal with those merchants in Shanxi, but in fact, what they really have to face is the dignitaries behind them.

"In the next few years, it will be time for all parties in Liaodong to accumulate strength. Whoever saves the most will take the lead. Although the barbarians are not engaged in production, there are millions of Liao people who have fallen into the enemy's hands to search.

Regardless of the life and death of millions of Liao people, the looted supplies were enough for the barbarians to breathe.

With this confidence, the barbarians can gradually gain a firm foothold and become more uncontrollable through the method of fighting to support war. "

"Support war with war."

Jia Jing repeated it, then laughed, "Your brother said that?"

Chen Deyan nodded.

"There are currently 70 people in Zhenjiang, Jinzhou, but there is no savings and not enough land, so it is not easy to feed these 70 people.

Today's weather is abnormal, and the yield per acre is lower than in previous years. Compared with the two, it is easier for the barbarians to recover first.

The barbarians can use war to support war, but my elder brother can't. Instead, he has to support more Liao people.

Therefore, whether my eldest brother is going to North Korea or dealing with those merchants in Shanxi, the former is to speed up his own development, and the latter is to delay the development of the barbarians.

After three years, Golden State has a chance to win. "

Tang Qing'an did not hide anything from Jia Jing.

Nothing to hide.

War is a continuation of politics.

How many invincible generals in history were finally defeated behind their own rear.

Yue Fei, Qi Jiguang...Mao Wenlong.

So Tang Qing'an saw very clearly that his foundation was definitely not just relying on Jinzhou to be able to do whatever he wanted.

At least not yet.

Compared with the current stage, compared to the fact that Jia's mansion needs powerful factions from places like them, he needs the support of the relationship between the imperial court and Jia's mansion.

Qi Jiguang had the support of Zhang Juzheng in the court, and relying on his military talents, he brought out his abilities in the north.

When Zhang Juzheng fell from power, he was also liquidated, and finally died of illness in his hometown lonely.

Not to mention Yue Fei.

"I have practiced Taoism for many years, and I can't see many things clearly. I don't know who is behind those Shanxi merchants."

"I'll go check out one or two."

Chen Deyan laughed.

Jia Jing pondered for a moment.

"Don't spread this matter to the outside world. After you find out the relationship behind them, if it is a family related to the mansion, first come to the door to persuade them to come over. There is still some affection, but it's just some stupid things. That's all
Only when there are stubborn and undecided people left can we deal with one or two. "

"The old master of the mountain said that the younger generation should be taught."

Several people were discussing indoors. Outside the door, a teenager and a Taoist boy had an angry argument. The sound came in and alarmed them.

"Who is that?"

Jia Jing asked.

"It's Jia Huan from Rongguo Mansion, Master Zheng's concubine."

"Why is he here?"

Chen Deyan explained with a smile that he met Mr. Zheng in Rongguo Mansion, met this child, and pestered him to go out to play, so he brought him out.

"My elder brother said that the mountain lord has the eyes to know people, why don't you go and see?"

"Alright."

Rongning Second Mansion, two hereditary families, should be a family.

Jia Huan was in a hurry, and just as he was thinking of taking revenge on the boy in front of him, the Taoist door opened, and Jia Jing, Jia Rong, and Chen Deyan inside came out.

"This person is so rude, he even said that our Jia family is stupid."

Jia Huan filed a complaint first.

"Where did I say that, you are talking nonsense."

That Daotong was in a hurry, the two of them were still playing at first, but later they had a dispute over whether the tiles in the temple were connected or formed directly.

Jia Huan scolded him as an idiot, and he got angry, saying that Jia Huan couldn't tell the objects apart.

Chen Deyan stared at Jia Huan, Jia Huan closed his mouth unconvinced, and the Daotong saw that the mountain master had also come out, with a grievance on his face.

Jia Jing nodded after a long time.

"You go to play elsewhere, don't be arguing, or I won't take you out to play next time."

It was rare that someone was willing to take him to play, Jia Huan put away his thoughts, how could that Daotong dare to be presumptuous again, before the two left, Jia Huan even took the initiative to lead him.

"This kid is four points for fierceness, three points for decisiveness, two points for talent, and one point for lack of luck."

"Hahaha"

Hearing Jia Jing's words, Chen Deyan couldn't help laughing.

"Shanzhu is indeed the person my elder brother admires the most. My elder brother originally commented on the young master in the mansion, and that's what he said."

"How does your elder brother evaluate me?"

Jia Rong couldn't help asking.

"Brother Rong is a top talent."

Chen Deyan said without hesitation.

"Ha... too much reputation, too much reputation."

Jia Rong laughed from ear to ear, and immediately began to humble himself.

Jia Jing on the side didn't bother to talk to the merchant apprentice who was full of lies.
