Red Mansion Soldiers

Chapter 246 Return to Chang'an

After Li Wan had put on his makeup, Xiao Yanei was finally able to escape from his old father's clutches. He was lying in his mother's arms, pointing at his old father with his fleshy little fingers, and kept complaining to his mother with "oh oh oh" !

So the old mother staggered the old father with a slap. The old father screamed and spun three times in mid-air before he fell heavily on the bed. His whole body instantly became dying.

Xiaoyanei was so happy that his revenge was avenged. He let out an excited shout and suddenly fell into his mother's arms and hugged her neck tightly. His two short legs kept fluttering, which was so cute.

The family of three played around for a long time. It was not until Hu Jiu said hello outside the door that everything was packed up. The family then started to put on their coats and prepared to go out and wait for Hu Jiu and the others to dismantle their shogunate.

. . . . . .

After nearly ten days, Emperor Qi finally visited the city of Chang'an where he was unspeakably loyal.

Although the dandies from all walks of life from Guandong are very disturbing to the people, the eating, drinking and drinking of tens of thousands of people and the high consumption of high-ranking officials and dandies have really brought huge benefits to the elders of Chang'an, whether they are poor or poor. Fudu made a fortune.

Therefore, it is still tolerable for some dandies to disturb the people, and they do not dare to do things such as robbing civilian girls, so the tolerance is over.

After returning to Chang'an, everyone got back to work, and Jia Hui continued to go to the Governor's Mansion on business.

Lying lazily in the side room of the festival hall.

It's been more than an hour since I went to bed, and I've drank two pots of tea, but I just can't cheer up.

"Oh, I don't want to go to work." The eight-day vacation was really comfortable. If possible, he would like to continue to let it go.

"Grand Governor, what's wrong with you?" The little official who entered the side room to take away a batch of documents that Jia Hui had processed saw that the position of the objects on the table was exactly the same as before he left the side room without moving, so he was careful asked.

"I don't want to do it." Jia Hui replied weakly, leaning on the pillow.

"Grand Governor, these are all the errands that have been accumulated over the past eight days. Although you have already dealt with the urgent and heavy tasks, you can't just drag on the slow and light ones!" The clerk was a little confused. Difficult.

Those who can handle it have already been handled by these small officials, and there are only those that cannot be handled by their authority.

They are willing to help the Governor handle the situation and experience the power of the Governor, but they also need to have the courage!

In the early years of Taizu's reign, they, a group of petty officials, were exposed by Xiu Yi for massive arrogance in taking over the duties of their chief officials, and a massacre involving as many as 60,000 people was involved, with as many as 40,000 direct deaths. case!

Since then, these small officials have been scared out of their wits and really dare not do their jobs for the supervisors anymore.

There must be spies with embroidered clothes in this huge Zuo Army Governor's Mansion!

"Oh." Of course Jia Hui knew what the clerk was worried about, so he stretched out his hand and patted the bed, letting himself sit up again.

Upon seeing this, the clerk quickly put everything in his hands on the table, quickened his pace a few steps and came to Jia Hui's side to help him adjust the pillow so that the governor could sit more comfortably.

"Give me today's urgent and heavy items first." Jia Hui took out a sweat towel and wiped his face, then threw it casually on the table.

Upon hearing this, the clerk quickly responded and returned to the small table. He skillfully took out the urgent and heavy items from a pile of documents, sorted them, placed them in front of Jia Hui, and left with the teapot in hand. I went to get some water.

Tsk, as expected of an old man, he was straightening the backrest, arranging documents and pouring tea. If he were a novice like his cousin, he would definitely not be able to be so thoughtful.

He casually picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, then lowered his head and started working.

Ok?

The rebellion of the Xue family in Longzhou was put down so quickly?

At the moment is a battle report from Jia Hui's old brother Liu Li, the commander in chief of the counter-rebellion.

Although the rebellion of the Xue family in Longzhou was small and did not cause any major troubles, Jia Hui was actually very concerned about the rebellion.

After all, the rebellion of Longzhou Xuanfu Division may be the last errand of the Right Army Governor's Office that I will do. Naturally, I hope it can be solved perfectly.

Now that the Commander-in-Chief of the Right Army, Yun Yu, has begun to go on duty, his burden has been relieved a lot. In the future, the only areas under his jurisdiction will be the Governor's Mansion of the Left Army, the Governor's Mansion of the Rear Army, and half of the Fujian Province of the Governor's Mansion of the Former Army. , Jiangxi and Guangdong provinces.

Jia Hui stamped the embroidered clothing information that came with the document with a big seal and then opened it. Jia Hui read it carefully.

Things are not complicated.

After receiving the court's order, Liu Li immediately mobilized an army of 30,000 troops and summoned troops from surrounding small chieftains who had not responded to the rebellion of the Longzhou chieftains to start countering the rebellion.

But to be honest, Liu Li's 30,000 troops were a bit redundant.

Because when Liu Li led 30,000 soldiers and horses to approach the Longzhou chieftain, he found that the entire Longzhou chieftain's soldiers and horses were blocked by the Mianzhou garrison who was patrolling Jiangyou County. He promptly summoned all the soldiers and horses in his area and surrounding small towns. The chieftain's soldiers and horses trapped the chieftain of Longzhou in the mountain, and he was unable to come down from the mountain.

"This thief chief Xue Dongchuan is quite useless." Jia Hui didn't even know what to say.

"What? Grand Governor, did you just call the younger one?" the young official who walked into the side room carrying a kettle asked tentatively.

"Ah, it's nothing. I'm just saying that the thief chief of Longzhou is really a waste. He was beaten by a Jiezhou guard and couldn't get down the mountain from beginning to end." Jia Hui sneered, stamped the document to indicate that he had read it, and then He handed the document to the clerk.

"Liu Li seems to appreciate the guard named Shan Shiyi very much. He also said that Shan Shiyi should be the first to counter the rebellion." Jia Hui poured a cup of tea and took a sip with enjoyment. .

"What does the Governor mean?" The clerk had the answer in his mind, but he still chose to pretend to be confused just in case.

"Then let's do it according to Liu Li's merit report. I don't care what the Ministry of War wants, but since my brother has spoken, then our Zuo Army Governor's Mansion will do what he wants." Jia Hui said with an indifferent expression. .

It doesn't really matter whose credit was it, it was either Shan Shiyi, the garrison who resisted the Longzhou rebels for several days, or Liu Li, the general who led the army to defeat the Longzhou chieftains in one fell swoop.

The rest are all here for outings.

Since Liu Li singled out Shan Shiyi as his first merit, then let Shan Shiyi be the first.

"Wei!" The clerk now understood what the Governor meant. He quickly sat down on the small table next to him, took out a piece of blank official paper and wrote the opinions of the Zuojun Governor's Office according to the format.

It will be sent to the emperor together with the official document from the Ministry of War later.

Jia Hui looked at the next one.

"Haha, okay, okay, it's finally over, it's finally over." Jia Hui looked at it five times with a look of disbelief on his face. Jia Hui suddenly burst out laughing, so frightened that the clerk who was writing an official document almost wrote the wrong word!

"Where does the Governor's happiness come from?" Seeing the Governor's joy, the petty officer hurriedly approached him. "Where does the joy come from? Haha, here!" Putting the document in his hand in front of the clerk, the clerk quickly lowered his head and read it carefully.

"Hey!" The clerk also exclaimed, turned around and blurted out a series of good words, making Jia Hui laugh, so happy!

The Jianghu faction located at the southernmost tip of Qiongzhou Island, the Nanhai Sect, was destroyed by a fleet of Fujian navy led by Bo Shuiche of Weiyuan County in a land and water attack!

As this stronghold, which gathered the last group of the most stubborn and disobedient Jianghu people in the entire Daqi martial arts world, was uprooted and annihilated, it represented this horse-riding battle and the imperial court's victory!

"Hehehehe." The fatigue in Jia Hui's body caused by the difference in work dissipated instantly, and was replaced by incomparable excitement!

Damn you, if you dare to rob me of my property, I will kill you!

"Quickly, send someone to the archives to find out the details of the horse riding in the rivers and lakes during Taizong Xianqing's reign. If Chang'an doesn't find it, he will send someone to Luoyang to find it!" Jia Hui slammed the table and stared at it with burning eyes. The clerk said.

The clerk quickly responded, trotted out of the side room and went to find someone.

"Hehehehehahaha!" Jia Hui laughed more and more wildly, looking more and more like a villain.

. . . . . .

After delivering the message, the clerk quickly returned to his duty and continued to deal with military affairs with the governor. In the excitement of hearing the good news, a pile of military affairs was quickly handled.

Of course, it also has a lot to do with Yun Yu sharing part of the work, which is equivalent to reducing half of the previous workload!

After checking all the documents written by the clerk and finding no errors, Jia Hui left for work.

I am happy!

"Lao Jiu, go to the east and west markets to see if there is beef, and buy as much as you can." Jia Hui looked at Hu Jiu meaningfully. Hu Jiu understood in seconds, nodded seriously, and led a few soldiers to Went straight to the east and west cities.

I am so happy today that I want to have a big meal!

As for the Chang'an elders selling beef openly and openly, the local government did not take care of it, and the censor strangely did not impeach him.

The reason is that the emperor gave everyone instructions long ago.

The people of Lao Qin are fierce and have no respect for "Qi Lu". Now is the critical moment for everyone to make money from the Guandong people. The well-informed people in Guanzhong naturally know that the nobles in both Daliang and Daqi like to eat beef. So as long as they can make money, what's the point of killing cattle?

And compared with Luoyang, Chang'an is a place with grasslands to the north. Some brave people buy a large herd of cattle from the grasslands and sell them to Guanzhong.

The court did not care about this, but chose to turn a blind eye.

Since the foundation of Daqi is Guandong, it does not pay much attention to Guanxi, and it is governed entirely based on Huang-Lao's ideas. Kansai has reached a point where the environment is on the verge of collapse due to thousands of years of development. Water and soil erosion are extremely serious, and the fertility of the soil has also been greatly reduced. As a result, Kansai has inevitably suffered a lot of depression, and everyone's life is also very difficult.

That is to say, reopening the Western Region and reopening the Silk Road will make life more promising.

Unlike the Tang Dynasty in Jia Hui's previous life, Chang'an was in depression and lacked food, so the Emperor of Tang had no choice but to take his civil and military officials to Luoyang for food.

This was not the case in Daqi. In addition to luring snakes out of their holes to kill the remnants of the Eastern Palace, the imperial court also came for the stability of the Kansai provinces.

Taking advantage of this time, there was a sudden influx of tens of thousands of powerful men and hundreds of princes and nobles who came to eat in Kansai.

The imperial court even directly ordered a large amount of materials to be gathered in Chang'an and sold to the people of Chang'an at a price that was half a percent higher than the cost price to attract the nobles to consume. Try to let the people of Kansai earn as much money as possible and live a better life. Don't move. Just rebel

The Qi Dynasty was different from the Ming Dynasty. Since the Yuan Ting only inherited a few economic means from the Song Dynasty, the imperial court's institutional framework was inherited from the Ming Dynasty of the Yuan Ting, and it did not inherit many economic means passed down from previous dynasties.

Therefore, not only were the treasure banknotes made in a mess and looked like waste paper, but the tax collection system was even more chaotic. In the end, in the 276th year of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court did not live a prosperous life for more than a few days.

Daqi in this life is different. The Han Dynasty has always stood on the land of Kyushu, and almost all of the economic methods it has inherited have been lost. Now that it has developed, it certainly understands some of this method of stimulating the economy.

There are many things to say, but it can be summed up in one sentence - let the people's income from a year's hard work be able to support their families, so that they will not rebel with their heads in their belts.

Just like now, walking on the street, Jia Hui can clearly see that the smiles on the faces of the people in Chang'an are much more than when he first arrived!

There are even more vendors selling snacks and candy sellers weaving grasshoppers on the street!

The eyes of the common people looking at Kanto nobles like themselves are also filled with gratitude.

Thanks to the noble people for making them a lot of money.

Others might criticize the Second Saint's decision, but Jia Hui felt that the extra money he spent was worth it.

"Old man, how do you sell these grasshoppers?" Jia Hui dismounted, squatted down and curiously looked at the lifelike grasshoppers, and asked the vendor.

"Noble sir, everything here costs ten cents a piece!" Hearing the accent, he knew that he was a big bastard from Guandong. No, he was the God of Wealth. The little old man narrowed his eyes, and his honest face was tanned. He actually showed a somewhat cunning smile.

"." After hearing this price, Jia Hui recalled the price of grasshoppers in Peiping City when he was a child. Jia Hui was speechless for a while.

"Old man, although a certain family is rich, it's not a grudge. The most expensive thing in Beiping City is only five cents each, and the cost is almost nothing. You don't want to trick people like this, right?" Jia Hui frowned. .

"Then the noble man should go to Peking to buy it!" The little old man smiled again, obviously he was used to this kind of scene.

Jia Hui was not angry, but asked: "Why? Aren't you afraid that this noble man from a certain family will take revenge on you?"

"Hey, you are really joking, have you seen the man standing on the corner?

Embroidery Guard!

This is what the saint and his old man specially sent to take care of poor people like the little old man who can do business safely without being bullied! "The little old man smiled even happier, and bowed several times in the direction of Weiyang Palace with his hands clasped in fists.

Jia Hui, who understood the little old man's hint, became even more silent.

"My lord, your lord?" The little old man was a little frightened when the big noble man in front of him didn't speak. He quickly reached out and patted his arm, fearing that he would get sick from anger.

Or what if you get mad and really don't care to take revenge on your own family?

"My lord, my lord, you must not get into trouble! It's the little old man's fault. He deserves to be slapped!" Just as he was saying this, the little old man slapped himself twice, one on the left and one on the right. "My lord, you are really a little kid. I was wrong, I shouldn't have cheated you with ten cents!

Five cents, no, three cents, no, no, no, do you think two cents each will do?"

"Then give me two cents each and wrap it all up for me!" Jia Hui suddenly raised his head and looked directly at the little old man with a mean smile on his face.

The little old man's frightened expression instantly froze on his face
