Luck in the heavens starts from the Red Mansion.

Chapter 131 Caught off guard (please subscribe)

No one expected that the current emperor would act so quickly.

The Ministry of Accounts gave out the reward on the third day after accepting the 1105 million tael in repayment.

Jia Zheng, the young minister of Taipu Temple, was transferred to the position of Minister of Honglu Temple. From one of the three deputies of Taipu Temple, he directly became the chief official of Honglu Temple.

Although his rank has only been raised by half a level, and he is only a fourth-rank official, his status is quite different, and he can already attend the small court meeting.

It's not that he can't directly become a third-rank minister, but now he doesn't want Jia Zheng to rise too quickly and fall into the abyss of eternal destruction.

There is no way, Mr. Zheng Er has left a very deep impression on today, that is, incompetence!
If it weren't for the purpose of setting a benchmark and the fact that although Jia Zheng was not very capable, he was a rare honest person, the current emperor would just hold his nose and admit it.He even thought carefully about it and finally chose Honglu Temple Qing.

Because the Daqian Dynasty's performance in foreign wars was average, it did not have the majesty of a heavenly kingdom.

As a result, Honglu Temple became a quite leisurely yamen, which was just suitable for the second master Zheng.

Jia Lian was promoted to a higher level and became a doctor in the Department of Qing Li of Yunnan Province, supervising the water transportation of Jinmen and Tongzhou. It can be said that he was of lower rank and more powerful.

Of course, it was not easy to get this official position. Jia Huan asked Jia Rong of the Ning Mansion to come forward. He took the banknotes and went to find Dai Quan who had left the palace. He spent 5000 taels of silver to settle it.

Naturally, Jia Lian provided the banknote himself, and Jia Huan had no obligation to pay for him.

For this matter, Wang Xifeng warned her repeatedly, almost falling out on the spot.

As for how Dai Quan operated, Jia Huan didn't know and didn't want to find out.

Jia Rong's title was directly promoted to the second-class general, and he also became a squad leader of the Dragon Guard, which was almost equivalent to a fourth-grade position. The emperor was quite generous, of course for the sake of money.

Even Jia Qiang got her wish and received the title of Yunqi Lieutenant, equivalent to the seventh rank.

Together, the two brothers can be regarded as a glorious ancestor. At least they are doing much better than Jia Zhen's era.

No matter what, whether he goes down the road of being an Ouchi guard or wants to get involved in the army, he has a pretty good starting point.

Of course, the one who gained the most was the Shijia Shuanghou!

I don’t know if it’s intentional now or if I have other considerations. In short, as the third eldest son, Zhongjing Hou was promoted to the fourth rank city gate captain, guarding a city gate in the capital, and a powerful general with hundreds of soldiers!
As for the second eldest brother, Baoling Hou, he became a third-grade general and was transferred to one of the twelve regiments of the Beijing camp as the chief general. It can be said that he has soared to the sky.

Really, when the news reached Rong Mansion, everyone from the old lady to the second master Zheng were shocked.

You know, the Jia family in the capital has been in charge of the capital camp for decades, so they naturally know the secrets in the capital camp very well.

Although the Jingying Jiedu Envoy is the boss of the Beijing Camp, his true rank is only the third grade, which is the same level as the general in charge of a regiment of troops.

If the commander of the regiment camp and the Jiedushi don't deal with him, there will be no bird if there is no bird, and the Jiedushi will have nothing to do with him.

Unless during the war, the Jiedushi must have the courage to kill his generals, otherwise there is really nothing he can do to defeat the regimental camp leader, and the core generals of the Shangjing camp are considered.

In addition, the commander of the regiment camp has a great chance of being promoted to the Jiedushi of the Beijing camp. It can be said that this time Baolinghou is very powerful. In the future, if he is not qualified, he can become the boss of the four major families in Jinling.

Just like Wang Ziteng before, and his foundation in the military is much stronger than Wang Ziteng.

Now, it was the old lady's turn to sit on the wax.

Otherwise, it is said that people become mature with age, but old age is still spicy!
The old lady didn't seem to notice the embarrassment and just did whatever she wanted.

When the two Shi Hous came to visit, they specially invited them to Rongqing Hall to have a good intimate relationship. By the way, they asked them to support the second master Zheng and take care of Jia Baoyu, the phoenix egg, if they had the chance.

With such a performance, the two Shi Hou were a little unable to resist.

Fortunately, they were not distracted and knew how they got their positions.

Even though his status at this time was much better than the official status of several men from the Jia family in the capital, he did not show the slightest hint of arrogance.

It is estimated that the years of being sidelined in the past years have severely punished their brothers.

Besides, because they took the initiative to repay the money owed to the treasury, they were isolated by the Xungui Group. At this time, they didn't know how to join the group to keep warm, and they still had conflicts because of their status. Wouldn't it be self-destruction?
But despite this, changes in status and strength still have some impact.

The strength of the Shi family has reached the traditional level of the second eldest among the four major families in Jinling, and even has the momentum to sit second and wait for the first.

Who said that the Wang family's foundation was insufficient? The founder of the country had no powerful characters to support the subsequent family, and the rate of decline was much more exaggerated than that of Ning Rong's second family.

Especially since the Wang family has lost control of the Shipping Department, it is like a rootless tree in the capital.

If it weren't for the Jia family's support, the family would have been completely ruined before Prince Teng came forward.

But with the help of the Rong Mansion, Wang Ziteng became the governor of the Beijing Camp. Not only did his family background not be strong, but he could only be regarded as the last among the top dignitaries in the capital.

Is there any plot by the Jia family here?

There should be, but whenever an outstanding soldier appears in the Jia family, he can easily rise through the ranks with the help of Wang Ziteng's connections, and then reach a certain status to replace him.

It's a pity that the children of Ningrong's second house failed to live up to expectations, and the old lady suppressed the children of the side branch, preventing them from easily getting ahead in the army, which caused the Jia family's reputation in the capital to decline rapidly.

In other words, there is a popular saying in modern times, the more something is lacking, the more attention it shows.

Judging from Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng's extreme greed for money, it is estimated that the so-called "East China Sea lacks white jade beds, the Dragon King comes to Jinling King" Wang family has been extremely short of silver for a period of time.

Many Red Mansions fan fiction mentioned that during her time as the head of the Rong Mansion, Mrs. Wang desperately searched for and replenished her natal family.Based on Jia Huan's observation and inference, this matter is unlikely.

Do you really think that the old lady has completely let herself go and completely let go of control of Rong Mansion?
Jia Huan also didn't expect that the current emperor would be so resolute.Under the huge pressure from the court, he was forced to become the head of Ning Rong's second house, and the Shi family, who took the initiative to pay back the money owed to the treasury, were promoted to official positions.

According to the past rules of the imperial court, if you want to do this, don't you have to waffle for days?

Not to mention, the eyes of those officials who owed money were so stimulated that their eyes were red, and their desire to kill Mr. Zheng was very obvious.

Under such circumstances, being able to make quick decisions today is quite impressive.

Not to mention anything else, for a period of time afterwards, officials from the capital successively took the initiative to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to repay the banknotes. This is a good feedback for such vigorous and resolute actions today.

Unfortunately, most of these officials who took the initiative to repay the money were middle and low-level officials in the capital.

The amount of money they borrowed was not much. Even if 100 people added up, it would still be less than the 15 taels that the Shi family could repay.

As for the rewards in official positions, there are no rewards. It can be said to be as plain as water.

Of course, anyone who really understands understands that the future future of these Beijing officials who actively repay the money is guaranteed, and they will definitely not be forgotten today.

It can be said that proactively paying back the money at this time is completely a matter of attitude.

Nowadays, it is completely possible to select a wave of officials who are willing to get closer by paying back the bank, and then they can be promoted quickly when opportunities arise in the future. It can be said that the future will definitely not be too bad.

These are just the so-called side effects of the emperor's art. What is really needed today is to quickly raise a large amount of money in a short period of time to solve the temporary financial difficulties of the imperial court.

However, what makes Jia Huan a little troubled is that the current reward for Ning Rong, the head of the second house, was so quick, which caused a huge loophole in his originally planned plan.

Originally, his idea was to use the huge pressure from the court to force Mr. Zheng to recruit foreign aid, and then find a way to transfer Lin Ruhai to the capital to help.

Now, the final idea is almost in place in one step.

It's hard to say whether Mr. Zheng Er will feel the huge pressure and finally have to recruit foreign aid.

At this point, there is really not much Jia Huan can do.

After all, it has reached a high-level political level, and it is not easy to interfere.

In addition, judging from the official positions of the two princes in the historian, it may not be that they are not thinking about it now.

At this time, Ningrong's Second Mansion, according to the apparent power division, has fallen from the second position of the four major families in Jinling to the third position.

This is definitely something that is difficult for the old lady to accept.

With the old lady's temperament, I'm afraid there will be some twists and turns in the future. How can it be possible without making a fuss?

In fact, the power of Rong Mansion still ranks first!

But as time goes by, if the second master of the government does not become a true third-rank official, the decline of the Rong Mansion will be irreversible.

Of course, it would be fine if the Ning Mansion suddenly rises, but the old lady might not be too happy about it.

It can only be said that the current situation of the four major families in Jinling is quite accurately grasped!

With just a few tricks, a secret pit was laid that made the Jia family very uncomfortable.

At the moment, of course, there are all kinds of celebrations, and the Ning Rong Mansion is full of joy.

As for the future, we will naturally talk about it later.

Because of the debt owed to the national treasury, Ning Rong's second house was showing signs of being ostracized by the founding noble group. Even if there were any good things, it would be hard to do anything about it at this time.

Of course, there was an internal celebration banquet. The old lady, with a glowing face, calmly accepted the congratulations from the wives and mothers-in-law, as if she was in charge of everything this time.

Of course, the old lady took out 20 taels of silver in one go, which was considered a great contribution.

Let’s talk about the celebrations in Ning Mansion. Anyway, Rong Mansion has been quite lively recently.

Jia Huan followed Zhanguang and participated in the flowing water banquet for several days in a row. He was so shiny after eating.

If I don't exercise properly, I'm afraid I will gain more than ten pounds.

It was rare that the old lady was merciful and allowed him to have fun with his sisters.

It's a pity that Jia Huan, Sanchun, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai are not familiar with each other, and they don't know what to say, so they can't use the tricks of past lives to attract girls.

Even with Tanchun helping with various topics, the atmosphere was still quite awkward.

Fortunately, Xue Baochai was really capable and directly talked to Jia Huan about the outside business.

There are also various interesting stories. These Jia Huan are naturally able to talk and even have some insights.

As for Lin Daiyu, this young lady does have some shortcomings. She is less than nine years old at this time, but her height is half a head shorter than Jia Huan.

As for the body shape, she has lost more than a circle, and she seems to fall down when the wind blows. It makes people feel a little uncomfortable. I don’t know how she grew like this?
