After Jia Yun, Cao Wu, and Tang Daqian separated outside the palace, they immediately reunited with three of their own soldiers.
These three soldiers came to pick him up from get off work, including the new Tong Dunxing.
Jia Yun now has six soldiers. In addition to Yu Zhu and other five soldiers, there is a new soldier, Tong Dunxing, who is the grandson of Lao Tongsheng. However, it is still far from the twenty soldiers that Jia Yun can have now.
.
Jia Yun did not return home immediately, but first took Tong Dunxing to the Ministry of War. After registering with the Ministry of War, Tong Dunxing received two sets of armor and a short-handled sword, thus officially becoming a soldier.
Immediately, Jia Yun returned home, escorted by Tong Dunxing and three other soldiers.
After working hard at the palace for five days before returning home, Jia Yun received a lot of attention. Not only was she greeted by Bu Wuniang for a long time, but she also took a bath under the service of Xi Ren and Zicuckoo.
Qingwen had also made a piece of close-fitting clothes. Although she felt ashamed, she still gave the clothes to Jia Yun.
When Zijuan learned about this, she was a little dissatisfied and said to Xiren: "Qingwen, a little girl, probably wants to be a member of the Second Master's room, and she actually makes the Second Master's underwear."
Xiren was not dissatisfied and said with a smile: "Look at it a bit. When the second master asked Qingwen to come to our house, you and I knew that she would probably be a member of the house in the future. Now she has been through this
It’s been a long time, why bother getting jealous over this again?”
"Besides, you also know that although Qingwen speaks harshly and acts willfully, she has a good heart. Even if you don't want to be nice to her, don't get in the way of things between her and the second master, so as not to upset the second master.
The second master is working hard in the palace now, so we can't let him worry about things in the inner house anymore."
Zijuan nodded.
In fact, she is also virtuous in this kind of thing. The relationship between her and Qingwen has become better now. Although they are not friends yet, they have not had a fight for more than half a year.
There are two main reasons for this. One is that she doesn't want Jia Yun to be upset about it, and the other is that she also feels that Qingwen has a good heart.

That afternoon, Jia Yun Yuzhu, Tong Dunxing and other six guards were called into the hall and said to the six of them: "Now I am a first-class guard of the third rank. I can have twenty personal soldiers, but now there are only six of you."
, I want you to recommend some soldiers to me."
"You should be more careful when recommending people. They must have good moral character as well as high martial value. The people you recommend need to undergo strict inspection and will be hired only after they pass. Whenever someone is hired, the person who recommended him will be rewarded.
For ten taels of silver, whoever can introduce a few soldiers will be rewarded with dozens of taels of silver."
Yu Zhu, Tong Dunxing and six other guards took orders one after another.
That night, Jia Yun invited a host, Cao Wu, Tang Daqian, Meng Jing, Mu Fu, Zhao Xiuyuan, and Yu Keping, the seven people who had previously "seven swords under the canal".
Because of "Seven Swordsmen Entering the Canal", all seven people received rewards, and the one with the heaviest reward was Jia Yun. Jia Yun was also grateful to the other six people for following him to the canal. If it weren't for these six people, they probably wouldn't have been able to do so.
If Eunuch Pang is successfully captured, the matter will become very complicated and difficult.
So Jia Yun specially invited the host this time.
In fact, the six people were all grateful to Jia Yun for this. If it weren't for Jia Yun, they would not have made contributions, they would not have received rewards, and they would have fallen into a very complicated and difficult situation.
This time when Jia Yun asked for a host, all six of them came happily.
…
…
A month later, the number of Jia Yun's soldiers had reached ten!
During this month, Yu Zhu, Tong Dunxing and other six soldiers recommended candidates to Jia Yun. A total of twelve people were recommended to Jia Yun. However, after strict inspection, Jia Yun only hired four people. , two of them were introduced by Yu Zhu.
When it comes to personal soldiers, Jia Yun is prudent and strives for excellence rather than too much, because personal soldiers are not only related to himself, but also related to the safety of his house.
Now Jia Yun has a total of ten soldiers, all of whom are of good character and have high military value.
Ten soldiers are enough for Jia Yun now.
…
…
Nearly two months later, the time came to September 23rd.
That morning, Jia Yun was on duty outside the Palace of Qianqing. She heard the angry scoldings of Emperor Tianzhi coming from the hall. There were two people being scolded, one was Geng Shengping, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and the other was the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Minister Prince Yosei.
The reason for being scolded was that Emperor Tianzhi was very short of money. Not only was the Ministry of Revenue severely short of money, but even the Ministry of Internal Affairs was poor. However, neither Geng Shengping nor Prince Yicheng had a good way to solve the problem.
The scolding continued for a full quarter of an hour before stopping. Another quarter of an hour passed before Prince Geng Shengping and Prince Yicheng walked out of Qianqing Palace with dejected expressions.
When Jia Yun saw this, she felt both funny and sad.
Jia Yun has been on duty in the palace for three months, that is, three months on duty with Emperor Tianzhi. During these three months, he has discovered that Emperor Tianzhi is short of money.
The Supreme Emperor has a huge amount of property, but Emperor Tianzhi cannot move it. His subordinates, including Geng Shengping, Prince Yicheng and other princes and ministers, have no good way to solve it.
Every time Emperor Tianzhi asked them to come up with ideas, they would either ask Emperor Tianzhi to confiscate his family and collect wealth, or ask Emperor Tianzhi to save money. Anyway, the methods they proposed were unreliable.
Confiscation of homes? Emperor Tianzhi has confiscated the homes of many high-ranking officials in the four years since he came to the throne. However, this method of collecting wealth is limited, not to mention some high-ranking officials with a lot of property. The Supreme Emperor will not allow Emperor Tianzhi to raid their homes.
Saving expenses? Oh my god, Emperor Tianzhi is already frugal enough, how can he save money?
Jia Yun really felt that there was something pitiable about Emperor Tianzhi.
It has been four years since the Tianzhi Emperor came to the throne, but his power is still inferior to that of the Supreme Emperor Kangxing, especially in terms of military power, and he is still so short of money.
If this continues, Jia Yun even doubts whether Emperor Tianzhi can still be emperor in the long run...
Just as Jia Yun was thinking this, suddenly Dai Quan, the eunuch in charge of the palace, walked out of the Qianqing Palace and said to Jia Yun: "Deputy Leader Jia, the emperor has asked you to come in."
Jia Yun immediately walked into the Mingjian of Qianqing Palace and knelt down to Emperor Tianzhi: "Your Majesty!"
Emperor Tianzhi said: "Get up."
Jia Yun stood up, not looking directly at Emperor Tianzhi, her head lowered slightly.
Jia Yun originally thought that Emperor Tianzhi had some errands for him, but Emperor Tianzhi suddenly asked: "Jia Yun, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are both short of money now. Let me ask you, is there any way to make money?"
Method?"
Jia Yun was stunned for a moment after hearing this, thinking: What is going on? Emperor Tianzhi actually asked me, a first-class imperial guard, to find a way to solve his lack of money?
Emperor Tianzhi immediately said: "I know that you are also talented as a merchant. The pencils, colored pencils, toothbrushes, toothpaste and other things you and your business friend make are very profitable now."
Jia Yun suddenly realized.
He knew that Emperor Tianzhi had conducted a detailed investigation on him, and many of his affairs had been learned by Emperor Tianzhi, including his business dealings with Cheng Huanian.
Even so, he still felt ridiculous that Emperor Tianzhi now asked him to find a way to solve the problem of lack of money. He was really just a first-class imperial guard, not the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue or the Minister of Internal Affairs...
