Hearing someone calling him, Jia Huan turned around and couldn't help but look surprised.

"Sister Yuanyang, what can you do?"

Yuanyang trotted over quickly, with sweat on his forehead. He walked up to Jia Huan and said solemnly: "The old lady asked me to take a message. I hope Brother Huan will not forget his origin!"

After saying that, he smiled apologetically and turned around to leave.

Jia Huan stood there, watching Yuanyang leave, with a hint of disdain on his lips.

This is, you have noticed something, do you want to continue to bind yourself?

It's too late, old lady!

Jia Huan turned around and Shi Shiran left Rong Mansion.

There is no banquet today. I have to go to Lin Mansion tomorrow.

The most eye-catching thing in the capital recently is naturally the palace concubine’s marriage plan!

Even if the concubines and the families behind them reacted, they would not be able to stop.

Just like an arms race, once it starts, it cannot be stopped. Matters related to face cannot be measured with money.

Since the Chinese New Year, as if it had been agreed upon, every once in a while a palace concubine would come to visit the bride, causing a stir in the city.

It can be said that most of the attention of the people in the capital was attracted, and naturally they paid less attention to things outside the capital.

The past two years may have been extremely peaceful. There have been no major disasters in the capital, including the north, and most places in the south. The whole world has shown a peaceful scene.

Coupled with the aging body of the Supreme Emperor, the power in his hands continued to lose.

It can be said that this is the most comfortable time since taking the throne.

Although the national treasury is still tight and there is not much silver in stock, today's private treasury is abundant.

His gaze naturally focused on the border area.

In other words, the Daqian Dynasty was established on the corpse of the previous Ming Dynasty. It should have inherited all the territory of the previous Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately it did not.

Daqian's territory was basically only within the Great Wall. As for the land outside the Great Wall, it was not recaptured.

Since the Taizu period, we have wanted to expand externally, but unfortunately we have not been able to succeed due to various reasons.

During the founding period, the main focus was on pacifying civil strife and resuming production. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the north suffered too much, and the south was also burned, killed, and plundered by the Qing army and suffered heavy losses.

It can be said that during the founding period of Daqian, there was really a lot of waste waiting for improvement, and we had to guard against the rise of various careerists.

By the time of the Supreme Emperor, the situation was quite good.

The early emperor was definitely a wise master, and he achieved considerable results both internally and externally.

Otherwise, how could the second-generation military leader of Ning Rong's Second Mansion obey orders honestly?

It is impossible for the Founding Group to completely join the Supreme Emperor’s chariot!

Even though they knew that the battle of deposing the prince was full of internal affairs, the Xungui Group did not have much courage to make trouble.

Originally, everything was going in a good direction, and even the frontier army was able to suppress the Huqi outside the pass and imitate their predecessors to expand aggressively.

But at this time, the prince and Prince Yigan grew up.

With the connivance of the Supreme Emperor, whether intentional or unintentional, a rather fierce battle for the right to inherit the throne began.

Anyone who has read history books knows that long-term battles for succession consume the most national power.

As for the Emperor, I don't know if he was enjoying his previous achievements, but he gradually lost his previous ambitions and ambitions, and began to indulge in pleasure.

Seven visits to Jiangnan in ten years happened at this time.

Even Yang Guang, the second emperor of the Sui Dynasty who loved to patrol everywhere, had never been so crazy.

The amount of money consumed during this period was really measured in tens of millions!

Daqian's treasury could not withstand such consumption. It soon lost its advantage in the border areas and could only take a defensive position and return to its previous state.

After that, the deposed prince rebelled, and the emperor fell seriously ill and hurriedly passed the throne to the present.

He has been a puppet emperor for twenty years and now has control of most of the power in the court. Naturally, he wants to make a difference, otherwise he would not be rated highly in history books.

No, when the officials and people in the capital were attracted by the extremely lively concubine's marriage visit, the northwest border took the lead in taking action.

Of course, given Jia Huan's position at this time, he would not be able to hear such secret information.

Yesterday, when the Shi family hosted a banquet for the two marquises, they said this in a very low voice.

Jia Huan reacted immediately, now he wanted to make a difference in military affairs.

"If you have confidence in yourself or the abilities of your family members, then quickly send people to the border to get some military exploits. Now is a great opportunity to gain military exploits!"

Even if you want to make great achievements now, you can't directly order the border troops to march out of the fortress. That is impossible. First of all, the courtiers will not agree.

At present, the most that can be done today is to send trusted generals to the frontiers to start small-scale trial battles.

This kind of battle is similar to the scout battle when two armies clash.

It is a stage to demonstrate personal bravery and strength, and it is also a place to accumulate military exploits and improve combat experience. It depends on when the current emperor can completely convince the courtiers to start a large-scale expansion war, otherwise the initial small-scale scout war may last for one or two years.

Compared with a large army's conquest, such a small amount of time is naturally not that long.

But for individuals, it is a rare time to accumulate merit.

With Shi Jia Shuang Hou giving such face, Jia Huan naturally would not hide it and speak out his thoughts.

The so-called authorities are obsessed with it. The Shijia Shuanghou didn't pay too much attention at first, but after all, they had a certain status in the army and were able to collect a lot of information.

Originally it was just a topic to talk about, but I didn't expect it to be so rewarding.

The Shi family has a large population, but many of their children serve in the military.

As for whether to send manpower to the frontier to accumulate military exploits, we still have to go back and discuss it carefully.

After all, swords and guns have no eyesight. While going to the border to accumulate military exploits, you also have to face huge risks.

It has been a hundred years since the founding of Daqian. It can be said that peace has lasted for a long time. The situation of the children of the Shi family and the children of the Jia family is actually similar. There are many mediocre people, but few stand out or are unable to stand out.

Jia Huan is quite optimistic. It is better for the current emperor to be ambitious.

Only the ever-changing current situation can make it possible for rising stars to rise quickly, rather than climbing up step by step according to outdated official rules.

That's right, he has already made a move!

Of course, due to age issues, don’t even think about coming forward directly before you are fifteen.

Jia Cong is naturally the best candidate!

This was also the main reason why he went to find Wang Xifeng today. It was a rare opportunity.

He naturally has a comprehensive training plan for Jia Cong, who he grew up with.

First, he had to leave the General's Mansion and become a branch of the Jia family in the capital like him.

Relating to the original work of Red Mansions, Master Pardon and Jia Lian have intersections with Ping'an Prefecture.

As for the specific situation of Ping'an Prefecture, it is not mentioned in the original work of Red Mansion. Jia Huan also does not know much about it, and it is not easy to ask the historian Shuanghou rashly.

Jia Huan didn't know that not long after he left Rong Mansion, the news of Wang Xifeng's pregnancy quickly spread, and soon reached the ears of the old lady and Mrs. Wang.

Although Jia Huan didn't speak loudly at that time, Wang Xifeng was accompanied by a little maid.

As for the urinary nature of the Rongfu family's child, how could they possibly be able to keep it a secret once they heard about it? What's more, Wang Xifeng didn't specifically ask it to be kept secret.

After all, she still had to go to the Imperial Hospital with the post from her residence to ask Dr. Wang, whom she knew well, to come and make a diagnosis.

When the old lady heard the news, she was naturally very happy. She still agreed with the saying that 'more children means more happiness'.

Of course, the premise is that she is a direct descendant. As for the concubines, no matter how many they are, they will not be able to catch her eye.

With Yuanyang, the god of retribution, by his side, the big and small affairs in the house cannot be hidden at all. As soon as Dr. Wang made a diagnosis, the old lady planned to call Wang Xifeng to give her some serious advice.

After all, giving birth is a dangerous job and there is no room for error!

Moreover, this is a direct lineage of Dafangtou, so it is impossible not to pay attention to it!

If she wants to be the most distinguished person in the house for a long time, the first and second bedrooms must maintain a balance.

All we can say is that Wang Xifeng is pregnant at the right time!

If he had a legitimate son, Jia Lian would be able to completely stabilize his mind and put all his focus on the officialdom.

Once Jia Lian becomes a third-rank official or above, he can maintain a balance with the second-rank official.

Recently, Mrs. Wang's behavior has been a bit too flamboyant, and she is no longer respectful and obedient to her. This is not a good sign!

On the other side, Mrs. Wang's smile froze when she received the news, and the handkerchief in her hand was twisted into twists.

Next to them, Zhou Rui's family was full of joy and said happily: "Madam, I just happened to take advantage of the fact that Second Mistress Lian is pregnant to take back the housekeeper rights of the inner palace!"

Seeing Mrs. Wang's puzzled expression, she reminded: "Madam, the Duke is quite rich right now!"

Mrs. Wang suddenly understood, with a greedy look in her eyes.

Yes, the public school at this time was quite wealthy. Even if it supported the majority of the construction cost of the provincial residence, the public school still had more than 200,000 taels of silver at this time.

She doesn't care about her father's money, she wants to support the government's expenses.

As long as the money goes into her pocket, it's her private house, just like she did before.

When I was a housekeeper, I had to be careful not to overdo it.

But now, with Yuanchun as her backing, she doesn't have to worry about anything wrong even if she takes money from the public openly. Who dares to target her?

"Madam, in addition to the money from the father-in-law, there are also eight large farms controlled by that boy Jia Huan!"

Zhou Rui's family continued to encourage: "I heard that the eight farmsteads outside the city have an annual income of more than 100,000 taels, but they only turn over 80,000 taels to the public. It's really too much!"

"I think it's better to take the opportunity to take back control of the farm outside the city. Then the annual income of one hundred thousand taels will go directly into my wife's private treasury!"

These words are very much in line with Mrs. Wang’s wishes.

Although she knew that Zhou Rui's family had selfish motives, Mrs. Wang didn't care at all.

Anyway, the eight large farms are not her dowry private property. It doesn't matter what Zhou Rui and his wife do outside, as long as the money is paid on time.

"Okay, let's do it!"

Mrs. Wang nodded and smiled: "When Feng Yatou is diagnosed, I will have a good talk with her!"
