The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 269 is nothing more than that

Yang Lin and the others went to Jia Min for a drink tonight, which was the result of their joint research.

This move proves that they are aware of their current situation.That is the end of the world.It was only a matter of time before Jia Min took control of Bu Kui's overall situation.

If you don't surrender at this time and don't express your position and attitude, you may be liquidated by Jia Min in the future.

Just as Jia Min speculated, Feng Kui was not in this ranks because he was relatively innocent.Although he was not very gregarious, he didn't care whoever came to power Bu Kui.The so-called no desires can be strong, is talking about this kind of people.

Jia Min didn't want to give them any more time and told them to keep probing endlessly.If they do not express their attitude clearly at this time, they may make further progress and raise a higher asking price in the next step.

He couldn't give them such a chance.

After Jia Min said these words, he ate and drank by himself, regardless of how the guys reacted.

The guys obviously understood Jia Min's determination at this time, they glanced at each other, nodded at each other,
Yang Lin opened the cabinet again, and took out another cloth bag, which still contained the ledger.This time, though, it's just a ledger.

"Officer Min, please calm down. It's not that we don't want to tell the truth. It's because we really don't know what attitude is in Chief Min, and we don't know how determined Chief Min is."

"We are different from Chief Min. We don't have any background. We are able to get to where we are today. We have worked hard bit by bit. We can't stand the toss. If something happens to us, our wealth and life will be in danger. So, I really dare not be careless.”

"Now we know Chief Min's attitude, so we have decided to be loyal to Chief Min from now on, and we will all follow Chief Min in the future."

"This is the record about Qian Delu and Zhong Ding's corruption and breaking the law. There are accounts and insiders in it. I will hand it over to Chief Min now."

Jia Min took it and flipped through it roughly.It records the number of Qian Delu's search for money, the number and list of abused and killed exiles and slaves.There are also some records of Zhong Ding's corruption and breaking the law and the records of searching for money.

With these things, it will be much easier to deal with Zhong Ding in the future.

Qian Delu is dead, his value is not too great.However, the effect is not without.At least in three aspects, it still has certain value.

The first one is to recover the property embezzled by Qian Delu.

The second is to dig out the buddies left behind by Qian Delu. If there are, these people are also a hazard.

However, considering Qian Delu's character, after his death, it is estimated that no one will work for him.

The third is to dig out the relationship between Qian Delu and his superiors, especially General Ning Guta. If the money exchange and benefit transfer relationship between them is caught, Jia Min will take the initiative in many aspects.

After taking down Zhongding, the relationship with General Ning Guta was almost inevitable.Although Jia Min is not under his control, General Ning Guta still has great power in the Northeast.The power is far from what Jia Min can match.

The key issue is that Ningguta is in Bukui's strategic rear.Bu Kui's lines of communication to Guannei and the imperial capital are all within the control of General Ning Guta.

In the future, Jia Min's procurement of some important raw materials, as well as foreign trade and personnel exchanges must enter the area controlled by General Ningguta.

It can be said that although General Ning Guta could not control Jia Min, he controlled his lifeline.If General Ning Guta blocked Bu Kui's rear, Bu Kui would become a lonely Jedi hanging in the ice and snow.

Jia Min flipped through the ledger, and a letter fell out of the ledger.When I picked it up, it turned out to be a letter in a foreign language. After a closer look, it turned out to be in French.

Jia Min knew two foreign languages ​​in her previous life, one was English and the other was French.Now that I saw a French letter, I felt a little cordial.

However, in this isolated place in the bitter cold of the extreme north, a French letter appeared, which is not so unusual.

"What is this thing? Where did it come from?"

Jia Min didn't read the content of the letter directly, not because he didn't want to read it, but because now is not the time to read it.He estimated that none of the few people present could read French.Even in Bouquet, there is no one who knows French.

Even in the entire Great German Empire, except for ports with foreign trade such as Gwangju in the south, there are only some missionaries who can speak French.

Now, he doesn't want to reveal his secret.

I wrote some poems and took the martial arts exam, and I was questioned by some people. If I suddenly understand foreign languages, it will be even more difficult to explain.

"It was seized from a Tatar leather goods merchant during the anti-smuggling campaign last month. When it was handed over to me, I was recording the account, so I just put it here."

"Who has seen this thing, what is it written in? Do any of you know it?"

Jia Min handed the letter to several people, who read it again, but no one recognized it.

"It's crooked, who can't draw it?"

Yang Lin guessed.

Jia Min took the letter and began to read it. He was shocked as soon as he read the beginning.After reading it, the content shocked him more and more.

However, he didn't dare to show it, so he looked at it roughly, pretended to go up and down, looked at it several times over and over again, and finally sighed.

"A leather goods maker can draw talismans. Could it be that he's going all the way to cast down demons?"

As he spoke, he pretended to inadvertently put the letter into the account book and put it in his arms together.

"Come on, let's drink."

Although he was still shocked, Jia Min's impression of Yang Lin and the others improved.

If nothing else, just because they got this French letter by accident, Jia Min had a reason to treat them better.

The account book that Yang Lin handed over this time was a bit dry. It can be said that he really showed his sincerity.

The following conversation can involve some more practical issues.

Jia Min officially agreed to recruit Yizhihua, a gangster.In this matter, Zhao Dahai was responsible for persuading Yizhihua to surrender.If the recruitment fails within ten days, Jia Min will formally start to suppress the bandits.

Recruiting a flower is an important foundation and a key node for Zhao Dahai, a small gang, to seek refuge with Jia Min.

If Jia Min disagrees with this request, it will be difficult for their cooperation to continue.

Agreeing to recruit security was not too difficult for Jia Min.It was nothing more than sending a document to the Ministry of War afterwards, explaining the situation, and then giving a memorial to the emperor.

They had originally dismissed Bu Kui's matter as a hot potato to Jia Min, and they would not discuss it with Jia Min.This face can be given to him.

Recruitment, for the bandits, means letting go of the past and officially joining the ranks of officers and soldiers. For them, especially for those who escaped, it can be regarded as the most ideal ending.

Of course, for Zhao Dahai and others, things are not that cheap, and they have to pay what they should pay.

The first thing is that the three assistants of the original garrison department will be trained by the Fubingtuan to learn literacy and arithmetic, and then accept the adaptation.

The levels and treatment of Xu Mingtao and Feng Kui remain unchanged, and new appointments will be made after the adaptation.

The officers and soldiers of these three assistants now actually have less than 400 people. Compared with the strong and powerful Fubing Regiment, this number of troops is not in the same order of magnitude in terms of number or strength.

Moreover, a large part of these people are scattered around as village heads, and it is difficult to form a centralized force.

Even if they had this power in their hands, it would not be a check and balance for Jia Min, on the contrary, it would easily arouse his fear, so Zhao Dahai and Xu Mingtao readily agreed.

Because they had to come back for training and reorganization, the positions of the heads of villages in various official villages were logically replaced by people sent by the government corps. In this way, the takeover of various official villages, factories, and mines was completed.This cleared the obstacles for Jia Min to carry out reforms according to his own plan in the next step.

This is what Jia Min values ​​most, and it is also the core of his deal with these guys tonight. ,

Next, Zhao Dahai proposed to liquidate Qian Delu.

The liquidation consisted of two parts. One was to recover the slaves that Qian Delu had previously privately sent to the Qian family.

There is no objection to this point.Qian Delu himself has gone too far in this matter.He actually doesn't have the power to do that at all.

At the same time, the Qian family was also a little too ignorant of current affairs. Qian Delu was dead, and these slaves hadn't taken the initiative to hand them back, which shows that their vision is really short-sighted, and they are probably just some people who care about small profits in front of them.

The second part of the liquidation of the Qian family is to recover property.

The reason why Zhao Dahai made this suggestion was, to a large extent, that he was taking personal revenge and wanted to take this opportunity to attack the power of the Qian family.

The ledger provided by Yang Lin showed that the money that Qian Delu collected basically had two destinations.One is General Ning Guta, and the other is the Qian family of the Si Family.

It is also Jia Min's job to liquidate Qian Delu and recover the money.However, it was not Zhao Dahai's approach.

Although it is essentially a liquidation of Qian Delu, at least in name, the word "liquidation" cannot be used yet.

Because of Qian Delu's death, the court gave him the position of martyrdom.It is politically wrong to liquidate Qian Delu before overturning the case and convicting Qian Delu.

Besides, Qian Delu was already dead, so it would not be appropriate to reconvict him as a criminal, and it would also damage the court's reputation.

This idea was the result of several people's discussions. It can be seen that although these people are considered good people in Bukui, they are still very immature and have limited knowledge in terms of official sense and overall situation.Even Yang Lin, the think tank among the few people, is nothing more than that.
