Chapter 75 Donation
Jia Zheng thought that he had only reconciled with his mother a few days ago.
I really don't want to make her old lady angry anymore.
"well!"
So, he sighed heavily and slowly put down the Jin Dun.
"Mother, my son is feeling unwell and has to go home first."
As soon as Jia Zheng left, the card game in the small courtyard also ended.
Baoyu had no time to throw the jade, and the man was almost gone.
I could only silently crawl into Jia Mu's arms and cry.
The Miharu sisters went back to their rooms and there was no need to mention it further.
Baochai followed Daiyu to the side room.
As soon as she entered the room, Daiyu couldn't help but said excitedly:
"Sister, this poem will be passed down through the ages!"
"well!"
Baochai sighed after hearing this and said:
"My silly sister, didn't you hear that your uncle said he was leaving Duzhong?"
"ah?"
Daiyu was stunned for a moment, then murmured:
"That's right! The imperial envoy is going back to Jiangnan to inspect Japanese pirates and conduct military training..."
Having said this, Daiyu raised her head and said with a worried look:
"Sister, do you think this will be dangerous?"
Baochai was naturally a little worried, but she stepped forward and gently hugged Daiyu.
He comforted: "Of course not, he has a reputation as 'comparable to Jiaxuan'!"
Baochai's tone was full of confidence, which made Daiyu feel a little safer.
"Sister, can you stay with me today?"
"Okay, I won't leave today."
Baochai nodded.
She knew what Daiyu was worried about.
Thinking of his previous experience, he preached:
"Sister, you don't have to worry. When he was in Jinling before, he took two hundred villagers and killed hundreds of Japanese pirates, but he didn't lose a single soldier or general!"
Seeing Daiyu looking at her curiously again, she told the story of how the two met.
"At that time, because of my brother..."
…
at the same time.
In the many official residences in the capital, there are more or less.
Similar things are happening.
No matter whether they are civil servants, military officers, or noble relatives.
Perhaps it was because Feng Yuan passed the imperial examination at a young age.
Maybe it’s because of the poetry talent in Tai Chi Hall today.
Or because the emperor recognized his talent and character.
In short, this poem has been circulated for various reasons.
This poem has a wide coverage and spreads very quickly.
It's a bit better than the posted newspaper.
I don’t even know when, but there was even a saying in the capital:
Give birth to a child like Feng Yibo!
But he is such a great poet who is praised by everyone.
At this time, he was talking and laughing with an eunuch.
"Eunuch Xia, let's not speak secretly. I want to donate two military attachés, but I don't know what price you can give me."
Feng Yibo exchanged a few pleasantries and then went straight to the topic.
Xia Bingzhong was originally called by Xiao Chunzi in a hurry and was a little unhappy.
When I heard that Feng Yibo actually wanted to donate money, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Oh! Feng Shijiao is really trustworthy, he introduced the business to our family so quickly!"
Xia Bingzhong praised a few words and then asked directly:
"I wonder how many products the other party wants?"
Feng Yibo didn't beat around the bush and directly stretched out two fingers.
"Two thousand households."
"Hiss~!"
When Xia Bingzhong heard this, he inhaled excitedly, rubbed his hands again and said:
"It's not cheap for two people to have a thousand households!"
Feng Yibo shook his head and said with a smile:
"Eunuch Xia is joking. Of course I am not talking about the real shortage. There are enough candidates."
Thousand households on waiting list?
You can’t get free money from this?
Xia Bingzhong was stunned when he heard this, as if he thought of something.
He probed: "Could it be that Feng Shitao wants to be in Jiangnan..."
"This is their resume. Can Eunuch Xia be cheaper?"
Feng Yibo did not answer him, but took out two pieces of paper and handed them over.
One page reads: Chen Mo, Fengjiazhuang, Jiangning County, Yingtian Prefecture, Jiangnan
The other one is: Meng Jun, Fengjiazhuang, Jiangning County, Yingtian Prefecture, Jiangnan.
There is also information about the three generations of their ancestors.
This is naturally the name of Gouzi and Mengzi.
Xia Bingzhong understood at a glance that they were all sons of the Feng family.
He hesitated and said, "Master Feng, are you trying to make things difficult for me?"
Feng Yibo smiled, complimented and said:
"It's just a small thousand households, how can Eunuch Xia be in trouble?"
"Hush!"
Xia Bingzhong thought for a moment and let out a breath.
Then he said an amount with a serious face:
"Five thousand taels."
"I once heard someone say that a donation of five thousand taels for a fifth-grade military attache who is really in short supply is only five thousand taels. Why do you need so much to be a candidate here?"
Feng Yibo's smile faded and his voice became a little cold.
"Eunuch Xia really doesn't regard me as one of his own at all?"
"Does Master Feng really not understand, or is he just pretending to be confused?"
Although Xia Bingzhong was still smiling, there was a sparkle in his eyes.
"If you were to talk to our family on a normal day, the maximum number of candidates would be 1,500 taels and 1,000 households."
He leaned forward, gently pressed his hand on the table, and said:
"But if you donate an official position at this time, let alone exchange five thousand taels for two and then make up for a thousand households."
"Even if it's ten thousand taels or twenty thousand taels, I'm afraid no one will take it!"
Feng Yibo looked expressionless and didn't speak.
Xia Bingzhong said again: "To tell you the truth, our family dares to take this initiative because we want to send people to the Beijing camp, otherwise... haha!"
The vacancies in Jingying are all fat vacancies, and even those who are on the waiting list are much more expensive than elsewhere.
Because if the candidate works harder, he can become a full-time employee.
Feng Yibo was considered a member of Emperor Jingshun because of Li Shouzhong.
Only then did Xia Bingzhong dare to sell him the candidates from the Beijing camp.
If it were an ordinary person, he might not dare to sell it.
Besides Jingying, if Feng Yibo wanted to buy any other place, he would have to go through the Supreme Emperor.
At this point, Xia Bingzhong stopped talking and snorted coldly.
Then he said: "Think about it for yourself!"
"well!"
Feng Yibo sighed after hearing this, stood up and took out a brocade box from the bookshelf.
"This was originally prepared for Eunuch Xia. If I still think about it, I'll treat Eunuch Xia to a drink."
As he spoke, he handed the brocade box to Xia Bingzhong.
Xia Bingzhong took the brocade box and opened it.
Inside was a money order for five thousand taels of silver.
"It seems I can't afford it."
Xia Bingzhong looked up in surprise and saw Feng Yibo smiling at him.
The price of five thousand taels was not much different from what he thought.
But the bookshelf is naturally not a box.
If I can negotiate for three thousand taels, I will get a book cover.
The most common one is a scroll.
There are ten thousand taels in it.
As the saying goes: "If you don't know how to lead a team, you can only do it yourself until death."
If Feng Yibo wants to do something good, it is essential to build a team.
Gouzi and Mengzi are the people he trusts most and must be the core of this team.
Donating money is the simplest way for them to improve quickly.
"If we go to the south of the Yangtze River, we still need Eunuch Laoxia to help take care of the affairs in the court."
Xia Bingzhong was silent for a moment and then said:
"You did this last time. You know how our family handles things."
"Of course, if I hadn't believed in my father-in-law, I wouldn't have dared to entrust him like this."
Feng Yibo nodded and said solemnly:
"Although I am going to Jiangnan, I will only give more to my father-in-law, not less."
"Whether I come back or not someday, Eunuch Xia's work will definitely not be in vain."
When Xia Bingzhong heard this, he also said solemnly: "Don't worry, if there is any trouble here, our family will let the master know."
In the evening of that day, a small eunuch sent two notices.
Feng Yibo knew that this was not the end yet.
When we arrived in Jiangnan, we had to register with the Ministry of War.
Only by transferring these two people under his command can the problem be truly solved.
