Chapter 234 Jinghai Hou

Although Niu Ben, Wen Bo and Qin Feng have different styles of paintings, they have different temperaments and rarely have the same opinions.

But when Jia Huan talked about Shi Shilun, the three of them gave each other a thumbs up:

"Clean and square!"

As the saying goes, you can eat the mountains by the mountains and eat the sea by the sea.

The military generals who are in charge of the army naturally rely on the army in their hands to make a living.

Except for some unpromising "generals" who rely on drinking the blood of soldiers to earn an empty salary, most of the real generals rely on spoils.

However, some people are soft-hearted and thin-skinned, so the spoils are half as good as the court.

And those who are a little bit worse are six, four points, seven, three points, eight, two points...

There are no ones who are all greedy.

Anyway, they are all fighting for the wealth and even life of the whole family. They are robbing the enemy country, so why should they be distributed to the court?

Never underestimate this kind of harvest. The losses of soldiers and weapons are all from the state, and the capital of food and salary are also from the state, but the harvest and credit are from the Lord.

As for whether there is a war?

This is a joke. He guarded the territory of the Great Qin thousands of miles away, and was surrounded by enemy countries except for the vassal countries.

As long as you have the courage, just grab it...

Of course, the premise is to win.

As long as you win, no matter whether you have a reputation before the war begins, it will be considered a military merit in the end. What should be sealed, what should be rewarded.

But if you lose, no matter how you lose, no matter who starts the attack first, the general will be in trouble.

Although not many people exterminated the clan, it is common to confiscate and exile...

Back to the point, why is Shi Shilun the most honest and noble in the Qin Dynasty?

Because he is clearly guarding a huge wealth and famine, his life is extremely hard.

He guarded the southern border sea route, and the sea area was 3,000 miles away, and then went out 500 miles away. From Jiaozhi to Quanzhou, all of them were his territory.

In addition to past businessmen, there are countless pirates of all sizes.

Even if you can't see the pirates' wealth, there are a lot of maritime merchants in the past.

Anyone Shilun was a little ruthless and greedy, and he could only collect some "tax money" for those sea boats to ensure safety, and he could live a rich life.

However, in Shi Shilun's family, except for the money to spend on martial arts and buy ginseng that had to be paid to protect the family, there was really not much wealth. You can tell by looking at his mansion.

If you change someone in this position, for example, Li Han, the Marquis of Zhenhai, you will know what life the Li family is living in by looking at the Marquis of Zhenhai...

Last month, the wife of Zhenhai Hou Mansion was born. Jia Huan, as the actual head of Rongning and Ning Mansions, had to attend.

Even though he was used to seeing the rich mansion, he was still impressed by his luxury after going to Zhenhai Hou Mansion.≮≮.╳╋.┭

Jia Huan visited the Jinghai Marquis Mansion today, and was also shocked, and was shocked by the ancient and simple simplicity of the Jinghai Marquis Mansion.

But then Jia Huan seemed to understand something again...

Since the two generations of Duke Rong, no third party in the Qin army can control military power alone with one person's prestige.

The Supreme Emperor seems to be trying his best to avoid such a thing.

Like Qin Feng, Niu Ben and others complained that the Junji Pavilion has been mixing sand into the legions controlled by their family over the years. This kind of thing was actually done with the tacit consent of the Supreme Emperor.

If not, who dares to touch these things?

The same is true for the Navy, now it is led by two generals with completely different family traditions.

Especially Shi Shilun is upright and never fears power. He can't rub sand in his eyes. He hates the situation in Zhenhai Hou Mansion...

With two such generals and sects in charge of the increasingly powerful navy, whether it is the Military Pavilion or the people who go up, they will feel much more at ease.

After trying to understand these things, Jia Huan narrowed his eyes slightly. Such checks and balances may not be a good thing for him, but may not be a bad thing for the entire country. As long as the superiors can control the scale and do not evolve into large-scale party struggles, this is the way for the country to maintain long-term stability.

However, these are still too far away for him and are not capable of intervening.

Therefore, Jia Huan put aside his worries and followed an old man in plain and old gray clothes at the door with a smile to enter the Marquis' Mansion.

Behind him, the Han brothers followed him, while Li Wanji and others led the carriage and horse carrying gifts into the door.∧.╳╬.

Although it is frugal, it is the marquis' mansion granted by the emperor. It still has a scale.

Several old servants and women appeared and led Li Wanji and others away. Someone came to take the Han brothers down to have tea, but was stopped by Jia Huan. He said to the old housekeeper who looked slightly surprised and said to the old housekeeper beside him: "Old housekeeper, these three are the brothers, the three young men from the Dingjun Bo Mansion, today we are visiting Marquis Jinghai together."

When the old butler heard this, the old eyes glanced at the light blue family uniform of the three of them in surprise, but didn't say much, just nodded and continued to lead the way.

The main hall of the Marquis of Jinghai Mansion is very large and very empty.

On the wall of the hall, what is hanging is not the murals that often hang from ordinary wealthy people, meaning that wealth is continuous, or the calligraphy and paintings of famous people hanging from the homes of literati and elegant scholars, but a sea chart...

There were no tea and fruit snacks to entertain guests in the hall, just two rows of rough wooden chairs, which were still unpainted...

Jia Huan suddenly felt a little hesitant. His family was so simple. What should he look like on the boat?

It doesn’t matter to him. He hasn’t suffered any hardships after practicing martial arts for so many years?

But what should Lin Daiyu do?

If she had to sleep on a hard wooden crib for one night, the girl would be killed by crying the next day?

"Brother Huan..."

Han Rang quietly pulled Rajahuan's sleeve and "awakened" Jia Huan in "contemplation". After Jia Huan "wakes up", he saw Shi Shilun in the hall frowning and looking at him. His ugly face and a pair of "strange" eyes were surprisingly clear.

"My nephew Jia Huan, I have met Uncle Shi. I was rude before, but Uncle Shi. My nephew really didn't expect that the dignified Marquis of Jinghai Mansion would... actually... it would..."

Jia Huan bowed and bowed respectfully, and then he didn't know how to speak.

Although the Jinghai Housing is one of the few subordinates of the Qin army who are not from the old subordinates of Rongguo, Shi Shilun admires the second generation of Rongguo Duke and regards him as a spiritual idol...

So after the grand court meeting yesterday, Niu Jizong instructed Jia Huan to meet Shi Shilun and just laughed at him and asked Jia Huan to call him uncle. Shi Shilun, who had always hated the formation of cliques in the court, had a rare response.

After hearing Jia Huan's name at this moment, Shi Shilun rarely smiled on his ugly face.

Why do you say he is ugly?

Because Shi Shilun is bald, numb, squinted eyes, tilted cheeks, and skewed legs...

However, even though it is so ugly, it makes people feel that he is majestic and righteous.

This is not the feeling of Jia Huan alone. Even Qin Feng and Niu Ben said this, and it is said that those who have seen him have this feeling.

Even the Supreme Emperor once said that Shi Shilun was an old Zhong Kui who captured all the evil spirits in the South China Sea for the court.

He also praised him as the most honest official in the country.

It is really not something that ordinary people can encounter if they can see a smile on such a person's face.

Shi Shilun looked at Jia Huan with a slight smile on his face. His voice was slightly sharp, but not harsh. But it could penetrate people's hearts...

He said, "Not everyone has the method of Tao Zhu like you, and don't you use the money you earn more on the descendants of the old subordinates of Rongguo? I am the most satisfied with you."

Jia Huan was embarrassed to be praised for the first time, so he quickly changed the topic: "Uncle Shi, these three brothers are the sons of Uncle Han's house in Dingjunfu."

Shi Shilun looked at the three of them lightly, nodded slightly, "All of them are good men who know loyalty and righteousness. Follow Brother Huan to do things well. The rise of the Dingjun Bo Mansion is just a matter of the length of time."

After hearing this, Han Da and the other two bowed together and thanked, "Thank you the Marquis' teachings."

Shi Shilun nodded, then looked at Jia Huan and went straight to the topic, saying, "I have no wealth in my family. The only thing that everyone can count is the lucky ship parked on the Ba River. If someone asks me to borrow, I will never borrow it. But since you are a descendant of Rong Kingdom and a good child who knows how to improve, I will lend you the envoy.

But I want to explain it to you in advance. Uncle has limited money and does not have the ability to make money, so there is no expensive furniture on the lucky boat.

If you want to live more comfortably, you can buy some outfits on your own and then remove them after you come back.

The Fuchuan has a total of three floors. Because the third floor was once lived by my mother, it specially arranged a soft bed and several pieces of imperial furniture.

If you have female relatives on this trip, you can place them on the third floor. If there is no one, don’t go up.”

When Jia Huan heard this, he said a little confused: "I don't expect it to be the former residence of the Grandma. In theory, I, as a junior, should not be disrespectful and presumptuous. It's just... Lin Ruhai's daughter, also my nephew's cousin, also wants to follow her nephew to go south to Yangzhou to serve the elders. My cousin is too weak, so..."

Shi Shilun waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, she can go up to the third floor, why are you struggling with? Whether it's a warrior or a goalkeeper, decisive and capable should be the priority, and you need to remember."

Jia Huan nodded heavily and said, "My nephew has written it down." After that, he hesitated again, but when he looked at Shi Shilun's ugly face, Jia Huan quickly explained, "Uncle, that's right, because my nephew is going to travel far, I'm afraid I can't come back before the New Year. So today I came here and brought the New Year's Day tribute. But Uncle, these tributes were produced by my nephew's village, not..."

Shi Shilun smiled a little more and said, "What are you doing so much? Although the family tradition of the Marquis of Jinghai Mansion is clean and strict, my uncle is not a pedantic and irresponsible person. Moreover, you have no public office and no bad record. You have earned all your money in vain. If you give me gifts, will I not accept it? Tell me, what have you done?"

Jia Huan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just some transparent glass, which is not worse than the ones in the palace. I specially sent two cars for my uncle's household use."

When Shi Shilun heard this, his smile froze. He had lived in the southern area for a long time, so he naturally would not know what price a square of glass was sold in Quanzhou and other places in Guangdong. So he didn't believe his ears and looked at Jia Huan and asked again: "What did you say?"

Jia Huan smiled and said, "Glass, it's the one installed on the window of the Light Palace..."

Shi Shilun took a breath...
