Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 380 The rectification plan, the Rong Mansion ransacked the house

"Hey! Yibo, I know you are capable and energetic, but you are still too young!"

For Feng Yibo's self-confidence, even Wang Ziteng's city couldn't help but sneer, and shook his head:
"Some things are bad things that have been accumulated for thousands of years, and they cannot be solved by anyone who wants to solve them."

The depth of the water in the frontier cannot be imagined by outsiders.

Although this nephew and son-in-law have also led soldiers, their methods and abilities are not bad.

But from Wang Ziteng's point of view, it was obvious that he lacked some insight.

Where is Border Town?
In his opinion, the few battles Feng Yibo commanded were not small.

But I have never even seen the cavalry gather and charge, and it is completely different from the tragedy in the frontier.

Where do you think the wildness of the frontier soldiers came from?
Those who have not personally experienced it cannot truly understand what war is after all!

A place that has been preparing for war for a long time is not reasoning with you!

"Boy, Lord Wang is right about this matter. This kind of matter is much more complicated than you imagined."

Before Feng Yibo could respond, Chen Qinzhi also nodded in agreement, and said:

"Taking the simplest terms, you can control whether the money is given or not, but you can't control the things after you give it. If you don't send it down, how do you solve it?"

In this era, it is difficult for the imperial court to extend power to the grassroots.

In terms of administration, it is emphasized that "the imperial power does not go to the countryside", and the elders and squires are in charge of it.

In the army, in order to avoid the situation that "the soldiers don't know the generals, and the generals don't know the soldiers", the power of appointment and dismissal at the bottom has been delegated.

This makes the military everywhere like a monolith, not anyone who wants to intervene can intervene.

Although Chen Qinzhi was not like Wang Ziteng, he had personally been to the frontier to lead soldiers.

But he wasn't completely clueless about the frontier.

Seeing his support, Wang Ziteng regained his energy immediately, and decided to teach Feng Yibo a lesson, and then said:
"The rewards given by the imperial court can be guaranteed from my side to the commanders-in-chief of the towns at most, and I can't guarantee it any further."

The implication is that he can guarantee that he will not be greedy, but he can't stop others from being greedy.

If the tube is too wide, it is easy to cause rebound below.

Even if it is him, it will be difficult to convince the public.

"Speaking of it, it's actually a habit."

Feng Yibo sneered, and muttered:
"Actually, as long as you find a way to send it to a specific person, it doesn't matter if someone takes it back. If things go on like this, those who dare to take it back will also lose their reputation."

This is repaying the other in the same way, using human nature to draw a salary from the bottom of the pot.

If the reward is not issued, the soldiers will only blame the court.

But if it is sent to the hands of the soldiers below, it will be taken back.

Then this hatred will accumulate towards the person who took it back.

I'm afraid there are not many people who lead soldiers who dare to try to do this!

Although this idea is somewhat idealistic, it may not be impossible to realize.

However, the implementation process is not so easy.

If you think about implementing it, you will inevitably encounter many obstacles, whether explicit or hidden.

"In addition, all funds must have clear accounts, otherwise it will be treated as corruption."

For controlling the flow of funds, the method Feng Yibo thought of was keeping accounts.

He helped to check the accounts of the Xue family.

Double-entry bookkeeping is still advanced in this era.

As long as Feng Yibo sends someone to prepare the books, the whereabouts of the funds can be basically guaranteed.

But Wang Ziteng frowned for a while when he heard the words, and finally shook his head and sighed:

"The consequence of what you do is to shake the morale of the army. If the people below refuse to accept the above, how can we fight?"

What Feng Yibo said sounds feasible.

But in Wang Ziteng's eyes, it's just talk on paper.

In his view, the question of whether it will be taken back after getting it is unnecessary to ask at all.

According to his understanding, there are not a few people who blatantly drink soldiers' blood.

What's more, it's just a temporary reward, why dare not take it back?
But once or twice, it can barely be suppressed with prestige.

If you collect too many times, you will inevitably lose people's hearts.

When it accumulates to a certain level, it is inevitable that they will mutiny!

This is okay elsewhere, at most it is to send surrounding guards to suppress it.

But if it happened in the frontier, it might give the Tatars an opportunity.

At that time, the iron hoof will inevitably trample on the pass again.

It is really worth the candle!
Feng Yibo naturally understood what he meant, but he smiled and said:
"So, let's slowly replace people with people who can accept the new rules. Isn't this problem solved?"

Accept the new rules, then take you to play together.

If you don't accept the new gameplay, just replace it.

This is his next routine for rectifying the administration of officials.

Wang Ziteng was surprised when he heard the words, hesitantly said:
"Do you have so many people who can lead soldiers?"

Donghae County has it all!

Feng Yibo did have it, but he couldn't use it.

But he is not without other preparations.

"As long as you let the wind go, some people who can lead soldiers want to go, and when the time comes, whoever accepts it will go!"

If the founder of the country is not good enough, he will be selected among the upstarts, and if the upstarts are not good enough, he will be selected among the army.

If you want to find someone who leads troops, there are plenty of them!

But Chen Qinzhi heard the implication, and couldn't help sighing:

"If you do this, your reputation will be ruined!"

Let out such rumors, and finally get someone a job.

Regardless of whether he takes benefits or not, Feng Yibo will inevitably gain the reputation of "playing power"!

Few people may know about the reform, but such a reputation is hard to come to a good end.

"At most, someone would impeach me for selling out officials and appointing private persons."

Feng Yibo himself could take it easy, and added with a smile:
"It's not like no one did this before Da Wei!"

These words obviously mean something.

Wang Ziteng knew the elegant meaning when he heard the strings, and sighed:

"Even Emperor Taizong would not dare to sell the officials of Bianzhen!"

Emperor Tiantai made a very bad start, even the Dragon Guards guarding the palace dared to sell it.

Emperor Jingshun followed suit and sold the officials of the Beijing camp.

Now that Feng Yibo has gone one step further, he is actually planning to become an official in the border areas!

If this becomes a rule, it is estimated that the Great Wei will not be passed on for several generations.

But what Feng Yibo thinks is that he still has follow-up reforms to follow.

When the system is improved, the truth of the reform will naturally come to light.

Of course, a sound system is something that will happen when the time is right.

The premise is that all the previous methods are realized one by one, otherwise the title of "Great Wei Cai Jing" may not be able to escape.

Here Feng Yibo is going to sacrifice his reputation and exchange blood with Bian Zhenjun.

The three discussed the feasibility of this matter for a long time.

On the other side, Rongfu is facing raids.

At this time, all the slaves in the Rong Mansion were gathered in one place, surrounded by soldiers and not allowed to move around.

As the saying goes: copying a house is like a grate.

The soldiers outside were searching from room to room, not letting go of anything valuable.

It stands to reason that when the house was ransacked, no matter the master or the slave, only one piece of clothes was left, and the rest was confiscated.

But Rongfu is different after all.

The people who came to search were also members of Long Jinwei.

Naturally, she left enough dignity for the empress dowager's family.

Before ransacking the house, all irrelevant people and female family members took refuge temporarily.

Otherwise, even the female relatives would have to stand in the courtyard.

Mrs. Shi took the family members of the whole family, Jia Zheng, Baoyu and so on to the Grand View Garden.

At this time, a group of people were gathering in Hengwu Garden to wipe their tears.

Hearing the cries of the whole room, Mrs. Shi couldn't help feeling sad, and sighed:
"What evil did the Jia family do!"

Ever since Yuan Chun became the Empress Dowager, the Rong Mansion, which was her natal family, hadn't seen any light at all.

First of all, males could not hold real positions, which cut off the official career of Rongfu.

When Mrs. Wang entered the palace, Yuan Chun also said that this was to protect Jia's family from the attack of the court.

It is said that when the emperor grows up, he will be given high-ranking officials and rich salary.

This kind of statement temporarily stabilized Rong Mansion's anxiety.

But then, the Shandong incident happened, but the queen mother failed to keep the Jia family!

On Rongfu's side, the front foot just went to finish the job, and the back foot ransacked the house again.

You know, the Rong Mansion and the Queen Mother are a family.

I don't know, I thought it offended the Queen Mother!
Jia Zheng was very irritable at this moment, but he could only sigh:
"Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king, so mother should say a few words less."

His Shou Ronghou is still there, and he is not within the scope of ransacking his home and leaving his job.

It's just that this is the Rongguo Mansion, and Jia She, as the eldest son, inherited the title.

Naturally, it was the entire Rongfu that was confiscated.

Although Jia Zheng has a title, he is not the legal heir here.

This is Rongfu, not Shouronghoufu.

He, Shou Ronghou, could only watch helplessly as the Rong Mansion was copied.

Fortunately, Jia Zheng is upright.

Although he didn't understand Yuan Chun's approach, he still chose to support it.

Especially for the Shandong matter, he also felt deeply saddened.

As a younger brother, he was deeply ashamed of what Jia She had done.

But no matter how upright his character is, it will not delay his boredom.

After all, it was his home that was raided!

Fortunately, this raid was more of a formality.

All the valuable things in the mansion were sent to the Grand View Garden in advance.

This is the visiting palace of the Empress Dowager, and it is not within the scope of house raids.

But even so, the loss ahead will not be less.

Yuan Chun also said that there will be rewards and compensation later.

But the Rong Mansion was copied, but the lost face could never be made up.

"Old lady, the empress dowager was also forced to do nothing. This time, it is really too big a crime committed by the elder. Let alone confiscating his home and resigning from his job, it is already a great grace of the emperor if he is not exiled!"

Mrs. Wang was also upset, but she still explained to her daughter.

Mrs. Xing really wanted to refute a few words, but what Jia She did made her ashamed to refute.

"It's really not the Queen Mother's fault!"

Jia Rong, who came to see Gu, interjected at this moment:

"At that time, the Empress Dowager wanted to take it lightly, but was forced by Feng Yuan's people, and she had no choice but to punish the crimes of our family!"

The Ning Mansion was not involved in Shandong's affairs, and Jia Rong heard a lot of complaints about Feng Yibo when he was walking around these days.

Seeing that the whole family was forced to do this, he couldn't help but speak out.

"Where did Rong'er hear the nonsense, let Brother Zhen know the nonsense, be careful with your skin!"

Tanchun frowned upon hearing this, and couldn't help saying:

"Brother Feng and our family are old relatives, not to mention Sister Bao and Maid Lin, even the second sister is also in his house, how could uncle be hurt?"

She has always felt that there are as many people enjoying wealth and honor in the Rong Mansion as there are no planners.

Sooner or later it will fail by itself.

It's just God's blessing that the Empress Dowager Yuanchun came out.

It made her think for a while that the Jia Mansion could last for a few more generations.

Unexpectedly, the defeat came so quickly.

Rong Mansion, who had just returned to the top, was directly knocked to the ground.

Fortunately, not the abyss.

However, Rong Mansion's decline obviously cannot be blamed on others.

There are some things that Tanchun can't say in front of the elders.

That is, she has always believed that such a family cannot be killed by others.

Only by committing suicide can one be completely defeated.

What Jia Amnesty is doing now confirms what she thinks in her heart.

In addition, she has always been on good terms with Yingchun, and she also has a good impression of Feng Yibo.

Only then did Tanchun stand up and say a few words to Jia Rong as an aunt.

"Third aunt doesn't know something. Although Feng Yuan is related to us, he doesn't have the same heart with us!"

Jia Rong felt that the knowledge of the family members of the boudoir was limited, so she popularized it to her:

"Although he has a title, he is a civil servant. He has always disdain to walk around with our old relatives. That is to say, the Rongning Second House is not bad. Among our old relatives, Feng Yuan..."

"No rules!"

Jia Zheng frowned and reprimanded, and said:

"The Feng family is related to us, and Yibo is also your elder. You call Feng Yuan one by one? What do you think of a prince?"

When Tanchun spoke, Jia Rong dared to reply.

As soon as Jia Zheng opened his mouth, his grandson didn't dare to talk back.

Hearing this, Jia Rong hurriedly bowed aggrieved and said:

"What the master said is that Rong'er knew he was wrong."

Jia Zheng's troubled irritability had nowhere to vent, like a few more reprimands.

Unexpectedly, at this time Jia Mu suddenly said:
"Go and call Lian'er here, the old woman wants to ask, what kind of enmity does this Feng Yuan have with our Jia family?"

She listened to what Jia Rong said.

Like Jia Zheng, Jia's mother also had nowhere to vent her anger.

Hearing that this matter was related to Feng Yibo, he naturally found an outlet.

When Jia Zheng heard this, he hurriedly persuaded:
"Mother!"

Jia Mu gave him a sideways look, and said with a sneer:
"What's the matter? I can't even call him by his name?"

Jia Zheng hesitated for a moment, then sighed:

"Nowadays, Yibo is a prince after all, how can he let us call around?"

When Jia Mu heard this, she sneered and said:
"Don't talk about the prince, even if he becomes a prince, isn't he also my grandson-in-law?"

Daiyu just missed the door, and she can change her mouth in this era.

Therefore, Jia's mother is not counting on the old to sell the old.

When Jia Zheng heard the words, he still showed his embarrassment, and said:

"That said, but..."

"But what?"

Jia Mu frowned and said doubtfully:
"I just asked you to call Lian'er over here, but you pushed back and forth, what kind of prince are you talking about?"

Having said that, she came to her senses, stared at Jia Zheng and asked:

"Could it be that you also know about this?"

"know a little."

Of course Jia Zheng knew!

Because, he was there at that time!
It's just that the men of Jia's family didn't elaborate on it after they came back.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian are ashamed to say so!
After all, this is what they committed, implicating Rongfu.

As soon as the father and son came back, they went to the ancestral hall and knelt down to apologize to their ancestors!

Until now, neither of them came out.

Jia Zheng briefly talked about the cause and effect.

He omitted the part where Feng Yibo and the ministers forced the palace.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty forced the palace, saying that it would only make the Jia family's female relatives panic.

Unexpectedly, this kid Jia Rong would not talk about it sooner or later.

He happened to mention this when the house was raided!
"Tell me! The old lady wants to know how Feng Yuan dealt with the Jia family!"
