The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 270 The Duchess of Tamar
Zhao Dahai also suggested that he would preside over the liquidation of Qian Delu, which would be even more ignorant of current affairs.

The discord between the Zhao family and the Qian family has long been known to Bu Kui.As a person in the officialdom, you Zhao Dahai, it's too late to avoid suspicion, how can you do such a stupid thing?

Go to the front line by yourself and make a target for your political opponents?
It can be seen that his fighting strategy is really not clever.Just to vent his personal anger, he was so reckless and completely exposed his typical village-level family thinking.

That is to say, in a place like Bu Kui, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, if he was in another place, he would have been unable to survive in the officialdom for a long time.

Jia Min analyzed these powerful relationships to several people, and now they were dumbfounded.

"If this matter is like yours, if the censor finds out, you will be the first to be unlucky. Even if General Ning Guta finds out, you will be finished. Qian Delu's matter was handled by him at the beginning , If you do this, aren’t you doing right to him? Even though he doesn’t care about you now, it’s not a trivial matter to report this matter to the censor?”

Jia Min didn't want to tell them so much at first, but seeing that they were really clueless, he had no choice but to open up to them.

"So that makes Qian Delu cheaper?"

Yang Lin was still unwilling.

"Of course it won't be cheap for him. I heard that Qian Delu originally sold the things handed in by various villages and deposited the money in his own family, but he left an account in the yamen."

What kind of account would he keep, he was stupid, never kept any account.The account is left, how can I not know?You have only been here for a few days, how do you know?
Yang Lin still didn't understand, and the other three guys didn't understand even more.

"After the new Mr. Du Si discovered the accounts left by Qian Delu, he now asked the Qian family to return the money to the Yamen. I think that the Qian family are people who know the current affairs and will return the money to the Yamen. "

What does Min Zhang mean?How come the more I listen, the more confused I become.

"Yang Dianshi, you used to be in charge of the census room. Go to the yamen tomorrow, find out the accounts left by Qian Shoubei, and hand them over to the Chief of Staff of the Guards, telling him to go to Qian's house to ask for money."

"Well, okay, I'll look for it tomorrow, but I remembered that Qian Shouwei seemed to have given me a ledger before. How much was that money...?"

"I heard it was 2 taels of silver."

Jia Min reminded in time.

"Oh, that's right, it seems to be 2 taels. I'll go to the registry to look for it tomorrow."

Yang Lin hummed in agreement, but complained in his heart: What the hell, I have to make fake accounts overnight again tonight.

Zhao Dahai and Xu Mingtao still didn't understand, and they were still calculating in their hearts: Qian Delu, that bastard, can get water out of every penny, when did he become so kind?

It was fine for Yang Lin to understand Jia Min's hint. As for other things, Jia Min didn't intend to explain more to them.

Jia Min is not going to turn over Qian Delu's case.Doing that would be of no benefit to Bu Kui or himself.If he makes a big splash on this matter, it will definitely attract more attention from the imperial court to Bu Kui, which is not a good thing for Jia Min.

However, part of Qian Delu's money has to be spit out.His criminal facts also need to be investigated.The value of Qian Delu lies in his deterrent power to General Ning Guta.It's just that this is Jia Min's next plan.

Now, Jia Min has controlled the direction and rhythm of the situation tonight, this is the best time to seize the opportunity to expand the results of the battle.

Therefore, he raised the issue of the abnormal death rate and high escape rate of migrants.After some analysis, finally put forward the conclusion.

"With such a high abnormal death rate and escape rate, you can of course blame Qian Delu. However, when Qian Delu was in office, you can blame him. After his death, the situation has not changed. Can you still push him?"

"If the court comes to investigate this matter, I don't think you can get away with it. If the court is furious and finds out other things, you can't bear it and walk away. At that time, all of Qian Delu's account will be taken away." Counting on you, it is unknown."

"Qian Delu is still considered a martyr, and you may not even be able to earn a martyr."

He was afraid of analyzing anything, and what Jia Min said was really not to scare them.If that day really comes, the few of them are indeed inextricably linked.

"Officer Min, we naturally listened to you, so why don't you tell us what to do?"

Jia Min expressed his idea of ​​improving the living conditions of the prisoners.

A few people were naturally skeptical about this, but Jia Min made the issue clear, which really made them realize the seriousness of the problem.So they all appreciated it.

As for how much of this appreciation is sincere, only they themselves know.

If Jia Min wants to advance this reform now, he no longer needs to seek their consent.This reform can be implemented after the Zhuangtou of each official village is replaced by people from the Fubingtuan.

However, Jia Min didn't want them to be just bystanders.And tie them to their chariots.Only in this way, they will not watch from the sidelines, and will not attack or even hinder this reform.

Besides, he wants them to bleed for this reform.

"Oh, I'm so unlucky that I got the job of Bu Kui. When I first came here, the big things happened one after another. The problem of deficit, the problem of bandits, the problem of Qian Delu, the problem of Zhong Ding, the death of Liuren and escape issues...."

"No matter which one of these things it is, if the court investigates it, it will be a shocking case. Originally, I should have reported it to the court immediately. In this way, I have nothing to do with it."

"However, thinking about how hard it has been for you all in this icy world for so many years, I feel a little soft in my heart."

"That's right, Chief Min, it's really not easy for us, please be merciful, Chief Min."

"To be honest, I also know that it's not easy for you. After drinking this tonight, we are also brothers. But, I treat you as brothers, but you don't treat me as brothers."

"Officer Min, that's going too far, we all treat you as a brother."

"You treat me like a brother, so you want me to use my own money to make up for your shortfalls? Don't think I don't know, which one of you has no money? It's not like you don't know that there is no money in the yamen. If you want to do something, Money is everywhere..."

The guys finally understood that Jia Min was making them bleed.

This is the most uncomfortable thing for them.However, if the money is not paid, this official Min is afraid that they will feel uncomfortable immediately.

To pay or not to pay, that is the question.

"Officer Min, I don't know how to get the money?"

Yang Lin asked tentatively.

"Money, of course, there is no reason to give it for nothing. Doing business for the court, can you still ask you to pay it privately? Naturally, it is a temporary loan, and it will be repaid after a year or so. I will calculate it today. 1 taels of silver is enough."

When they heard that it was borrowed and only 1 taels, the guys were obviously relieved.Yang Lin patted the table and raised his wine glass.

"Officer Min, don't worry, the 1 taels will be paid by our brothers."

So far, Jia Min's goals for tonight have all been achieved.Also harvested a French letter.

Everyone was happy in the ending, and after another drink, Jia Min got up and left with the excuse that he was too drunk.

"Boss Wu, you are a bystander. You guys have a drink for a while, and you can help their staff think about what I said today, and think about the truth."

Wu Minqiu is not a member of the officialdom. Normally, an occasion like today involves many confidential matters, so he should not be asked to participate.

However, since he came, it showed that he was one with Zhao Dahai and others, so Jia Min didn't shy away from him.

On the contrary, with Wu Minqiu on the side, he will observe calmly as a bystander.As long as he has a little brain, he should see that what Jia Min proposed today is the most beneficial plan for Zhao Dahai and others.

Jia Min returned to his residence, took out the French letter, and read it over and over again.

This is a letter from Duchess Tamar of the Ross Empire to General Ningguta Han Tiankui.

The content of the letter was about a arms deal.

Han Tiankui wants to buy [-] muskets, [-] cannons and ammunition from the Duchess of Tamar.

The Duchess of Tamar wrote back, saying that the deal could be done.Ask Han Tiankui to send someone to Fort Sergei in Ross to negotiate with her.

In continental Europe in this era, France was the most powerful country and the cultural center of Europe.The high society in every country is proud of being able to speak French.

In the Rus Empire, many people also went to France to learn French and other French culture.French was also prevalent in Rose's court and high society.

It is not surprising that the Duchess of Tamar of the Ross Empire can speak and write French.

Nowadays, the imperial court basically does not buy firearms from foreign countries, but Han Tiankui bought so many firearms at once, what is he going to do?
A Duchess of the Ross Empire who was thousands of miles away, and General Ningguta of the Great German Empire, two people who had nothing to do with each other, were connected through this letter.

A Tartar furrier who becomes a messenger, is he still just a merchant?

This seemingly absurd letter is actually very credible.The basis for Jia Min to make this judgment is because the information in this letter is too accurate.

The time, place, person, event, reason and other elements in the letter are all clearly reflected in this letter.

Apart from being General Ning Guta, Han Tiankui also has another prominent identity.

He is the younger brother of Nan'an King Han Tiandou.King Nan'an's fief is in the southwest, where Han Tiandou sits in charge.

In this era, Europe's hot weapons are much more advanced than those of the Dade Dynasty.If Han Tiankui equips a firearms force of 2 people, it will be a terrifying force.

Did he buy it privately, or was it allowed by the court?
If he bought it privately, who does he want to deal with?Is it to rebel?If it was a rebellion, he would probably rebel with his brother Nan'an Wang.

At that time, the elder brother will attack the imperial capital from the southwest, and the younger brother will lead a team of 2 people equipped with advanced firearms to attack the imperial capital from the northeast...

Thinking of this scene, Jia Min shuddered and broke out in a cold sweat.
