Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 148 Moving
Jia Qiang did not stay in the West Camp for long. After he arranged the affairs, he left the West Camp.

If something really happens in the West Camp, there are two guards commanders who can handle it. If you can't handle it, just go to his house.

As a high-ranking member of the second-grade military, you still have this privilege.

The most important thing is that since he will take part in the examination next year, Emperor Jingwen gave him permission not to have to work.

Even if he is on duty, he is still going to the Zhongda Camp of the Beijing Camp. He is the deputy commander of the Beijing Camp. The West Camp is only his jurisdiction, and the Zhongda Camp is where he is on duty.

It was with Emperor Jingwen's permission that Jia Qiang did not go to the Zhongda Camp, and he was too lazy to deal with the other commanders of the Beijing Camp.

Of course, dealing with each other is inevitable, but just wait until the big meeting to meet.

After returning from the West Camp, Jia Qiang was also a little worried. How to control the 10,000 sergeants in the West Camp was the key.

Even though he used his powerful strength to intimidate 10,000 sergeants, these 10,000 sergeants could not be loyal to him.

Even Zang Feiyu and Wu Zicang, the two guards commanders, he couldn't really control.

Two days later, from the house in Jinyu Alley, carriages carrying things came out of the gate.

He knew this old eunuch, he was the eunuch of the Royal Horse Inspector.

"Zhang Zhang, please take a seat!" When Jia Qiang came here, it was as if he had returned home. This was also the case. He smiled and said without any sense of strangeness.

So he felt comfortable no matter how he looked at it. The Three Beast Gate showed the majesty of the Hou Mansion.

Jia Qiang rode a white horse. As he got closer and closer to Ningguo Mansion, his memory became clearer and clearer.

The Royal Horse Supervisor has the power to assess the royal property, and it was the Royal Horse Supervisor who was responsible for the renovation of Ningguo Mansion this time.

While I was thinking about it, the motorcade had already arrived in front of Ning Guo Mansion.

Lin Ruhai has not returned to Beijing yet, and his influence in Beijing is extremely low. As for the Jinling Xue family, they are just an imperial businessman, and their influence in the officialdom is extremely weak.

It can be said that the Xue family of Jinling currently relies on Jia Qiang, not that Jia Qiang needs the Xue family of Jinling.

"This is a list of some decorations taken from the palace. This is the deeds of fifty women. This is the deeds of all the original slaves currently staying in the palace. This is the land deed of Xuanzhen Temple outside the city. This is Contracts for six shops in the city..." Eunuch Zhang then took out the official contracts one by one and introduced them while handing them to Jia Qiang.

"Forget it, train the army first!" He put these troubles aside and thought to himself.

Walking into Rongning Street, this street is named after Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion. There will no longer be Ningguo Mansion, and the name of this street will not be true.

"Some of the servants in the Ningguo Mansion have dirty hands and feet. They have taken back their property and sent them away from the house. Only Zhuangzi in Liaoxi has some troubles, and they have ordered the officials there to come forward. I think there will be no problems in Zhuangzi in Liaoxi for a long time at least. Big problem!" Eunuch Zhang continued.

"It turns out to be a palm print, thank you for your hard work!" Jia Qiang replied with a smile as she dismounted.

"Don't dare!" Eunuch Zhang smiled and replied half-way down his buttocks.

This was because he was afraid that Jia Qiang's life would not be enough, so he packaged the entire Ningguo Mansion and handed it over to Jia Qiang.

As soon as he came in, he found that there were many more scenery, such as Taihu stones and flowers and plants. It was obvious that they had been taken care of by special personnel.

In his memory, there is the experience of living in Ningguo Mansion. Although it is the memory of the original person, it also makes him have a special feeling for Ningguo Mansion.

The most important thing about this move is the relocation of personnel. Most of the servants in Jinyu Hutong have to move to the new house. Only a few servants are left in the original house to maintain the house.

In fact, as branches of Qingfeng Building continue to open, Jia Qiang's industry, relying on the relationship with Qingfeng Building, is constantly taking over the power of industries in various places in Jiangnan.

Passed the main courtyard, passed the Yimen, and entered the hall.

Twenty soldiers guarded the convoy, five of which belonged to the female relatives of the family, and the remaining ten were belongings from the treasury.

One thing is certain, Zang Feiyu is from the Supreme Emperor, and Wu Zicang is from Emperor Jingwen.

This has never happened before, and no one can reach out to the news coming from Dai Quan.

In fact, if there is a way to make these ten thousand soldiers loyal, with the ability of 'healing [advanced]', he can cultivate a large number of warriors, and the cost will be almost negligible.

When Jia Qiang was in the palace before, she had met eunuch Zhang Yi, who was a powerful eunuch in the palace.

The carriage is full of property from the warehouse, and it is only the first batch that has been moved so far. The main reason is that too much is moved at once, and the revealed financial resources will attract too much hatred.

Jia Qiang's foundation is too shallow, and currently only Lin Ruhai and the Jinling Xue family are his allies.

"Jia Hou, your house has been rearranged, and fifty innocent women have been sent from the Jiaofang Division to serve as maids in the house!" Eunuch Zhang introduced as he led the way.

Even the lamps on both sides have been replaced with palace standards. If this was not modified by the Royal Horse Supervisor, Jia Qiang would have thought that someone was trying to harm him.

Once Jia Qiang takes back the management rights of her own property, the strength of the Jinling Xue family will be greatly reduced.

With Dai Quan's greed for money, he didn't dare to profit from it. One can imagine how much the Supreme Emperor valued Jia Qiang.

"Prince Royal Horseman Zhang Yi has met Jia Hou!" an old eunuch was standing in front of the gate of Ningguo Mansion. After seeing Jia Qiang, he took over the reins of the white horse with a smile on his face and said.

Even several Zhuangzi in western Liaoning are included.

But he didn't expect that Eunuch Zhang Yi would be so polite to him, even humble.

It's a pity that when he can't guarantee his loyalty, even Emperor Jingwen and the Supreme Emperor can't tolerate his existence if he really wants to show this ability.

Jia Qiang looked at the plaque above the door. The plaque had been replaced by a new one, which read, "Edict to build Jiahou Mansion." It seemed that the specifications of this plaque were not as good as the previous one. The previous one was of the national standard, but the current plaque is of himself.

Almost all the previous properties of Ningguo Mansion were transferred to Jia Qiang.

It's just that this process is very long, mainly due to the training of shopkeepers and experienced people, and it cannot be completed in a short time.

A young eunuch opened the middle door, and Jia Qiang followed eunuch Zhang into the house.

Of course Eunuch Zhang Yi was humble to Jia Qiang. He personally moved the decorations worth two million taels from the palace treasury to Ningguo Mansion.

"Thank you Zhang Zhangyin, this saved me a lot of trouble!" Jia Qiang said sincerely.

He also knew that the servants in Ningguo Mansion had unclean hands and feet.

He originally planned to start rectifying it after taking over, but he didn't expect that he would not need to take action at all. The Royal Horse Supervisor would come forward to clean it up.

Where is the Yumajian? The Yumajian has professionals who manage the royal industry. They clean up the small Ningguo Mansion, which is simply overkill.

"This is my job. As long as Jiahou is satisfied!" Eunuch Zhang replied with a smile. He thought of something and said: "There are two courtyards in the backyard where the You family and two concubines live. If necessary, If so, I can help you drive them away!"

"Thank you Zhang Zhangyin for your kindness. That's no need. You are kind to me, so let her stay!" Jia Qiang waved her hand and refused. "I forgot that you live in Ningguo Mansion. If you need anything in the future, just come to the Royal Horse Prison to find me!" Eunuch Zhang stood up and said with a smile.

Jia Qiang got up to see eunuch Zhang off, and then sent eunuch Zhang away from the "Edict-built Jiahou Mansion".

Lao ShunTou and Fei Cui have now gathered all the slaves left in the mansion and are waiting outside the hall.

Jia Qiang invited Jia Min, Lin Daiyu, Miaoyu, Yinglian, Xing Xiuyan, Yunfei and Zhujun to the hall. They had just gotten off the carriage and had not visited the mansion yet.

Except for Jia Min, everyone here is here for the first time.

"Brother Qiang, I didn't expect that this place would really become your house!" Jia Min said with emotion.

As the daughter of the Jia family, her feelings for Ningguo Mansion are complicated.

Fortunately, although the Ningguo Mansion is gone, the house is still in the hands of the Jia family and has taken on new vitality.

"Master's wife, please take Sister Lin around the house later. Sister Lin can live wherever she likes!" Although Jia Qiang was speaking to Jia Min, her eyes were looking at Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu's eyes were smiling and looking forward to it.

She had heard that this house was very large and there were many places to choose from.

The most important thing is that when she becomes an adult, she will be the mistress here, so she must pay special attention to everywhere in the house.

"Are you really willing to give it up?" Jia Min also became interested and asked with a smile.

"Do you have an idea?" Jia Qiang saw Jia Min's expression and asked with a smile.

"Yu'er and I will stay in Tianxiang Tower for a while!" Jia Min decided directly without even needing to visit.

She has lived in Rongguo Mansion since she was a child, and she has come to Ningguo Mansion often.

She certainly knows which place has the best scenery in Ningguo Mansion. The Tianxiang Tower next to Huifang Garden can be said to be the most beautiful place in Ningguo Mansion.

Now that I have the opportunity to live there, my childhood dream has come true.

"As long as Master Mu likes it, Tianxiang House is indeed a good place to live!" Jia Qiang said with a smile.

He didn't care, the whole house belonged to him, and as the owner, he could only live in the main hall.

"I will first let the slaves come in batches to pay their respects to the master and everyone. From now on, everyone will live in the mansion. We can't have slaves not recognize their master!" Jia Qiang continued.

Yinglian and Xing Xiuyan were a little cautious. They thought they were dependents, but they had no consciousness of being masters.

Miaoyu didn't care. At this moment, she was thinking about how beautiful Tianxiang Tower was and whether she lived with Lin Daiyu.

As for Yun Fei and Zhu Jun, their eyes were full of excitement.

This place was originally the Duke's Mansion, but now the man following him has become a Marquis, and they have reached the sky in one step.

Although they were pursued by literati and poets when they were in the dust, if they really find someone to marry, it is almost difficult to marry into a good family.

If you are not careful, you will lose both your life and money, and you will end up in a situation where you can't get out of hell.

After following Jia Qiang, they saw that Jia Qiang's identity was getting stronger and stronger.

Jia Qiang gave the order, and Feicui came in with the first batch of slaves to see the ceremony.

The slaves were extremely respectful and kowtowed obediently. At the same time, they also carefully recorded the faces of all their masters to avoid offending them later.

Jia Qiang also saw what Eunuch Zhang said that the fifty women brought from Jiaofangsi were all girls with good looks and a certain degree of culture.

There are not many such women among the slaves in any house, it is really too rare.

That is to say, there are so many such women in the Jiaofang Division because there are families of officials in trouble.

Of course, it is not easy to find such women to be maids. The main reason is that ordinary people cannot see them when they go to the Jiaofang Division. That is to say, the Royal Horse Supervisor has the responsibility of supervising the Jiaofang Division, so he can transfer them all at once. Here come fifty such women.

"Take a look, these women are all from good backgrounds, and you can choose a suitable one to be your maid!" Jia Qiang suggested to the women.

You must know that Miaoyu, Yinglian, Xingxiuyan, Yunfei and Zhujun will live in the mansion for a long time in the future. Miaoyu, Yinglian and Xingxiuyan do not have fixed maids, and Yunfei and Zhujun only have one personal maid. .

With Jia Qiang's current status and financial resources, there is no need to save at all. According to the standards of the Hou Mansion, every master must have at least two minor maids, two rough envoy maids, and a nanny.

If it is a man, one or two servants will be arranged to follow him when he goes out.

"Leave it to Sister Lin to arrange this matter!" Jia Qiang couldn't help but smile when she saw Lin Daiyu's eyes constantly scanning these women back and forth, looking at them very seriously.

"I can't!" Lin Daiyu looked up and replied in confusion.

"Pfft!" Miaoyu laughed at the side, and she said softly: "This is about taking care of the house!"

"Miaoyu!" Lin Daiyu called out charmingly, about to tickle Miaoyu.

"Stop making trouble!" Jia Min shook her head helplessly and said. She looked at the kneeling women and then said: "Yunfei, Zhujun, you should have more contact with them, learn about their past, and then discuss with me to choose one." Only a select group of people can decide to become personal maids!”

Jia Qiang saw some excitement on the faces of the kneeling women. The treatment of personal maids was completely different, and they were considered to be the upper echelon of maids.

All the slaves were greeted one by one, and together with the slaves they brought, there were now nearly a hundred slaves in the mansion.

Nearly a hundred slaves serve several people, which shows how extravagant Lord Daqian is.

But when it comes to Jia Qiang himself, he is quite satisfied with this kind of treatment.

Besides, with his current net worth, in addition to so many properties, he also has 20 million taels of silver on his body, so he can be satisfied no matter how luxurious he is.

"Brother Qiang, when the house was handed over to you, was it rearranged and added with things?" As soon as Jia Min stood up, she saw several ornaments in the hall and couldn't help but ask.

Although she had been away from Jia Mansion for many years, she still vaguely remembered the furnishings in Jia Mansion.

With her eyesight, she could also recognize the value of an item. She saw two vases in the hall, which were top-notch vases in the Tang Dynasty. A pair of vases definitely cost more than 20,000 taels of silver.

There is a painting on the wall. It is also an authentic work from the previous dynasty. It cannot be taken down without ten thousand taels of silver.

Treasures like this, which are usually locked in treasure houses in ordinary homes, can be found everywhere in the hall.
