Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 146 Meeting the Saint
Jia Qiang went to the palace wearing a marquis ceremonial robe. When he left, he put Jia Jingang into the inventory.

He came here to express gratitude, which is the rule after receiving a reward.

Of course, if the emperor is not free, he can just kneel down and worship outside the palace gate.

However, when Jia Qiang arrived at the palace gate, she was taken in without any notification.

He was taken to the East Palace, and Xia Shouzhong took him into the main hall with a smile.

"I have met your Majesty!" Jia Qiang stepped forward and saluted.

"Get up and sit down!" Emperor Jingwen didn't put on any airs. When he saw him coming in, he stopped what he was doing and said with a smile and waved his hand.

When should this shelf be put up, and when should it not be put up, is also a matter of knowledge.

Jia Qiang, who has made great achievements and has just received a reward, is about to show mercy, which is different from those who come to see and seek trouble.

Jia Qiang stood up and sat on the stool given by Xia Shouzhong's order.

"All of you, please get out!" The Supreme Emperor waved his hands to everyone around him. All the eunuchs and maids in the palace bowed and left, leaving only Dai Quan.

"Have you figured out how to lead the 10,000 soldiers from the Beijing camp?" Emperor Jingwen asked directly without being polite to Jia Qiang.

"Jiangnan is the richest in the world, and its influence is getting stronger and stronger. One day it will become an internal trouble for Daqian. I intend to set up a Jiangnan supervisory envoy to be managed by you!" The Supreme Emperor suddenly changed his tone and said.

"Sit down in front of me!" Then the Supreme Emperor waved his hand to stop Jia Qiang's greeting and said.

"Yes, I want to try it!" Jia Qiang replied.

It is not that the Supreme Emperor does not have an intelligence network, but the intelligence collected in Jiangnan is not ideal.

"..." Even Emperor Jingwen had nothing to say this time.

There is really too much wealth in Jiangnan. With the support of a large amount of wealth, there are more and more Jiangnan officials in Daqian's court.

"I will definitely live up to the holy hope!" Jia Qiang bowed and responded.

Unfortunately, the relationship between the Jia family and the Supreme Emperor is very close, and coupled with the interest relationship between the four princes and eight princes, it is difficult to move the Jia family without substantial evidence.

Before leaving the East Palace a few steps, a young eunuch came over and said that the Supreme Emperor asked him to go to the Daming Palace.

"When I left the Jia family, Jia Zhen gave me a house, and the Jia family's military heritage is in that house!" Jia Qiang replied without any concealment.

"Tell me about your stay in Jiangnan!" the Supreme Emperor said with a smile.

Even though the army in previous lives used thermal weapons, the orders and prohibitions were universal.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for sitting down!" Jia Qiang thanked him.

Emperor Jingwen looked at Jia Qiang. He had spent so much effort just to train himself to be an effective helper in the army.

At present, no one can replace her in this field, but Jia Qiang was able to win Yayuan in the Jiangnan Provincial Examination at a young age. Once she wins the Jinshi, coupled with Lin Ruhai's connections among literati, her status among civil servants will not be low.

At present, the Supreme Emperor is still alive and can suppress these Jiangnan officials, but one day the Supreme Emperor dies, and it is difficult to say whether Emperor Jingwen will be able to deal with these Jiangnan officials.

Therefore, the Emperor needs more comprehensive information about Jiangnan. Recently, he learned that Jia Qiang has established an industrial network throughout Jiangnan. This is the best cover.

This kind of look made him very confused. Who was the Supreme Emperor? How could anyone who had never seen him in his life look at him like this.

As for military training strategies, he not only learned from the "Book of Acting Soldiers", he could also learn from the training methods of the military in his previous life.

"I'm waiting for you to develop a strong army!" Emperor Jingwen thought for a while and then said.

He knew how Jia Qiang left the Jia family back then. She was kicked out and given a house and a little property.

Jia Qiang sat on a stool in front of the Supreme Emperor, and Dai Quan personally served him a cup of tea.

"When you become a Jinshi, I will personally appoint you a civil servant!" Emperor Jingwen had worries about happiness at this time. If Jia Qiang really won the Jinshi, should Jia Qiang become a military officer or a civil servant?
Jia Qiang's military strength is in the position of military attaché, and he can command the army for him.

"Oh, you have inherited the Jia family's military art?" Emperor Jingwen also asked curiously.

As soon as he entered the Daming Palace, he saw the admiring eyes of the Supreme Emperor.

Jia Qiang had no choice but to tell the Emperor about her experiences in Jiangnan just as she did when she came back to see Emperor Jingwen.

Although with his current status, it was no longer a big deal how he obtained the inheritance of military art, but he still wanted to make it clear so as not to leave any seeds of doubt in Emperor Jingwen's mind.

"Jia Qiang listens to the order!" Jia Qiang stood up and responded.

I also thought that Jia Qiang won the imperial examination in Jiangnan, and she was still the Asian Yuan, and she would take part in the national examination next year.

In his heart, he had great contempt for the Jia family. This kind of family would only suck Daqian's blood.

"Do you still want to take part in the examination?" Emperor Jingwen asked.

Especially through Jia Qiang's actions in Jiangnan, the current intelligence network was unable to find out Jia Qiang's affairs. This made the Supreme Emperor think of strengthening supervision of Jiangnan.

The house and property were far inferior to those left by Jia Qiang's parents, but he didn't expect that the Jia family would treat the inheritance of military books as rubbish and give it away.

"I still have some research on the art of war, and I already have an idea in my mind!" Jia Qiang could not be modest in this regard, he replied confidently.

These Jiangnan officials formed alliances with each other and controlled the affairs of Daqian.

The inheritance of the Jia family can be seen in Jia Qiang's moves, but Emperor Jingwen did not expect that Jia Qiang even inherited the art of war.

He was worried that there would be some reversal on the part of the Supreme Emperor, so it was only right to quickly take over the 10,000 Beijing troops.

"Tomorrow I will go to the West Camp of Jingying to take over the military power. Don't delay!" Emperor Jingwen added.

The Supreme Emperor nodded while listening. The troubles Jia Qiang encountered were nothing to him, but at her age, Jia Qiang handled all the troubles perfectly, which made him feel that she was indeed of the Tian family's blood.

"The Emperor wants me to go to Jiangnan?" Jia Qiang didn't want to go, so he asked.

He just returned to the capital, and Lin Ruhai will also return to the capital next year. He left the capital to go to Jiangnan without any friends.

"You don't need to go to Jiangnan. You use the industry in Jiangnan to establish an intelligence system. I need to know what the people of Jiangnan think, the major events that happen every day, and the official comments of some officials!" The Supreme Emperor explained with a smile.

Jia Qiang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that she didn't have to go to Jiangnan.

He originally established an industry in Jiangnan and had the idea of ​​establishing an intelligence system.

It's just that what the Emperor wants is to control Jiangnan, and what he wants is to use this intelligence network to better collect information about top-level Crow Falcon Stones.

To be honest, it was really difficult to get top-grade Crow Falcon Stones in Da Gan. Although he got some in his hands, the attributes added by fusing them were too few, so he was too lazy to embed them into his equipment.

"This matter should be handled quietly. The official status of the Jiangnan Supervisory Envoy must not be leaked out as a last resort!" the Supreme Emperor explained again.

He turned to look at Dai Quan, who went to the side and took a large seal and a written imperial edict. "I won't give you any more money. I'm jealous of your property!" The Supreme Emperor pointed at Jia Qiang and said with a smile.

Jia Qiang couldn't help but feel sweaty. Although the Emperor meant it as a joke, there was also some truth in it.

Nowadays, Qingfenglou, which can be found in various cities in the south of the Yangtze River, can be regarded as unique in the catering industry of Daqian.

Until the secret of MSG is cracked, no restaurant can compare with it.

And the more Qingfeng Building develops, the more resources it has. The best cooks in each city have been invited to Qingfeng Building at a huge price.

Fortunately, Qingfeng Building is a mid- to high-rise building, so it has no impact on the business of ordinary small restaurants.

In addition, the background of Qingfeng Tower is too heavy, and no one dares to provoke it.

Everyone knows that Qingfeng Tower is Jia Qiang's property, and Jia Qiang killed a lot of blood in Jiangnan. Even the colleagues in Yangzhou City were killed together. The huge reputation made people dare not take the idea of ​​​​these properties. .

Even though the Supreme Emperor did not give money to Jia Qiang, but with the name of the Supreme Emperor, as long as the Supreme Emperor is still alive, his property will always be protected by the Supreme Emperor.

Jia Qiang accepted the seal and the imperial edict. He looked at the Supreme Emperor and felt that in the year since he left, the Supreme Emperor had aged a lot and his health had become worse.

His heart moved slightly, and with a tap of his finger, the 'Qi Watching Technique' was activated.

Then his face turned pale, and the 'Qi Watching Technique' of this breath directly used up ten points of his mana.

But he also saw a dying old dragon above the Supreme Emperor's head.

Lao Long felt the 'Qi Watching Technique', his eyes suddenly opened, and he was about to rush towards Jia Qiang.

Just feeling the aura on Jia Qiang's body, she regained her momentum and closed her eyes again.

Jia Qiang had a feeling that if Lao Long really pounced on him, something extremely bad would happen.

He didn't know how risky it was for him to perform the 'Qi Watching Technique' in front of the Supreme Emperor.

Those who have the ability of "innate divine calculation", even some high-ranking officials do not dare to directly calculate, but use the method of measuring the people around them to infer the fate of high-ranking officials.

High-ranking officials are generally connected to the luck of the Great Qian. If you use the "innate divine calculation" to calculate high-ranking officials, they are very likely to be counterattacked by the luck of the Great Qian.

This is true for high-ranking officials, let alone the Supreme Emperor.

The royal family also has people who make calculations. Those people's calculation methods don't dare to be applied to the royal family. Instead, they make calculations from the stars in the sky.

Jia Qiang's previous actions were extremely risky.

If he hadn't also had the blood of the Tian family, he might have suffered the backlash of Daqian's luck by now.

Although his move was reckless, he also calculated from the old dragon's condition that the Supreme Emperor only had no more than ten years to live.

At this time, he had already used the 'Healing Technique [Advanced]'. Even though the 'Healing Technique [Advanced]' did not have the effect of extending lifespan, as long as the Supreme Emperor's body is adjusted to the best condition, the lifespan can still be increased a lot. .

But the Supreme Emperor is not an ordinary person. No matter whether the treatment for the Supreme Emperor is good or bad, the consequences will be extremely troublesome.

"Okay, go down. When you go to the capital camp, wear the beads I gave you!" The Supreme Emperor waved his hand and said.

Jia Qiang stood up and bowed before leaving, and Dai Quan sent him out of the Daming Palace.

"Jia Hou, come and see the Supreme Emperor often when you have time in the future. You must know the meaning of the beads given by the Supreme Emperor to you!" Dai Quan pointed out as he left.

Jia Qiang was slightly startled and saw Dai Quan turning around.

With doubts in his heart, he took back his white horse and rode back to his house.

After returning to the mansion, he went to his study and wrote down the training methods of the army in his previous life, and combined them with the contents of the "Yan Gongbing Shu".

His brain is very good, and when he writes, he is like a constant flash of inspiration, and some ideas can't stop popping up.

He wrote his training plan in an hour. This plan still needs to be practiced in the military to know whether it is suitable.

There are exactly 5,000 new troops and 5,000 veterans. Let the 5,000 new troops be trained according to the new training plan, and the 5,000 veterans be trained according to the original training method. If we compare it in a few months, we will know how the new training plan is. .

As for the issue of the inappropriate training plan, he can guarantee that even if the training plan is unsatisfactory, it can greatly improve the cohesion of the army and will not have any negative effects.

"Master!" Jia Qiang walked out of the study, but saw Jade standing outside.

"Jade, how's it going with Master's wife? Is there any problem?" Jia Qiang asked casually.

"It's very good there. This year, the family has recruited about ten maids from Zhuangzi to train, so the manpower in the inner courtyard will not be a problem!" Jade replied with a chuckle.

Although she did not follow Jia Qiang, she was not idle.

She knew very well that Jia Qiang was on an imperial mission in Jiangnan, and once things were done well, she would definitely be rewarded.

The number of servants in the family was much smaller than other families of the same level. She made preparations in advance and summoned some young and beautiful girls from Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing to join her family.

The people in Zhuangzi are very willing to send their children into their homes.

Although it may not be considered a job of serving others, once the child enters the house, he will live a worry-free life, be well fed and clothed, and can also bring a lot of income to the family.

If the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing was not so big, the dozen or so maids before would have been accumulated only if the Zhen family did not choose maids from this Zhuangzi.

"My family now has 11,000 acres of fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River. If we still need a maid, we can get it from there!" Jia Qiang thought for a while and replied.

I will move to Ningguo Mansion later, where the place is bigger.

He was not at ease with the original servants of Ning Guo Mansion. Those servants were indulged by Ning Guo Mansion to the point of being lawless.

He planned to keep only a few of his old servants and send the rest away.

He is not short of money. If you want a servant in Daqian, it is best to choose someone you can trust more.

Like the servants chosen by one's own village, not only are they bound by marriage, but they are also burdened by their families, so the possibility of betraying their masters is low.

Feicui looked excited when he heard that his family had 11,000 acres of farmland in the south of the Yangtze River.

"By the way, please inform Lao Shuntou that we will move in three days, to the former Ningguo Mansion!" Jia Qiang said to Feicui with a smile.

"Really?" Jade jumped up excitedly.

When she and Jia Qiang left the Jia Mansion together, she never thought that she would be able to go back in just a few years.

It’s not just a normal return, it’s a return to take charge of the family.

She was Jia Qiang's housekeeper, and when she arrived at Ningguo Mansion, she had the same status as Lai Da.
