During the day, under Jia Yun's arrangement, another person quietly came to the Qianhu Office of Jinyi Mansion.
This man's name is Jing Lie, he is in his twenties, and he is the so-called friend sent by Jia Yun to take over the Longshun Escort Bureau this time.
There is a special story about the acquaintance of Jia Yun and Jing Lie.
This story goes back to when Jia Yun went to Huainan a year ago.
At the beginning, Jia Yun raided the homes of many people in Huainan, including Lou Shoufeng, Lou Biao, Chu Kaichun, Yuan Nan and several other private coal traders.
At that time, a man named Jing Lie found Jia Yun.
This Jing Lie can be considered a genius. He was born in a hunting family in Huainan and learned hunting from his father since he was a child.
As a boy, Jing Lie studied martial arts for several years and passed the martial arts examination. He was eager to change his life through martial arts.
However, shortly after Wu Tong was born in the Jingye exam, his father died during a hunting trip. In addition, his mother was seriously ill at the time, and there was a younger sister in the family who needed to be taken care of.
So Jing Lie gave up martial arts for the sake of his mother and sister and made a living by hunting.
Because Jing Lie is tall and strong and has superb hunting skills, he earns a lot of money through hunting.
Despite this, my mother still died of illness a year later.
At this time, Jing Lie no longer wanted to make a living by hunting, so he moved his sister from the countryside to Huainan City.
Jing Lie took the initiative to find the Shouchun Town Military Camp and offered to join the army. With his tall and strong body, background as a hunter, and identity as a martial arts student, he was naturally recruited by the Shouchun Town Military Camp.
He joined the army for six years and became the commander-in-chief of the seventh rank.
He was able to do this mainly because of his strength and his loyalty to his superiors. He achieved several military exploits and almost died once.
He does not have a powerful family background, is not corrupt, does not have much money to bribe, and is not good at pleasing his superiors.
If he has a powerful family background, is corrupt and bribery, or is good at pleasing his superiors, based on his military exploits, he will be qualified to be a sixth-grade Yingqian Commander or even a fifth-grade garrison.
At this time, Jing Lie was not only married, but also gave birth to a son.
And Jing Lie's sister Jing Yan has grown into a very beautiful beauty. Because of this, disaster has come!
Lou Biao fell in love with Jing Yan and proposed to Jing Lie to take Jing Yan as his concubine, but Jing Lie refused.
Lou Biao threatened Jing Lie that if he refused, his father, Lou Shoufeng, would investigate Jing Lie. Jing Lie still refused, so Lou Biao did so. Lou Shoufeng fabricated a crime out of doting on Lou Biao.
, dismissed Jing Lie from his post and imprisoned him.
When Jing Lie was imprisoned, Lou Biao forcibly tied Jing Yan into his house and took Jing Yan as his concubine.
Later, with the help of a third-grade military officer who admired Jing Lie very much, Jing Lie was released.
Jing Lie wanted to kill Lou Biao, but even though he dared to die, he had to worry about his wife and son. If he died, there would be no one to take care of his wife and son. In addition, if he went to assassinate Lou Biao, he would have no one to take care of him.
Biao, no matter he succeeds or fails, the general who saved him will be implicated.
So Jing Lie took his wife and children back to his former village and made a living by hunting again, planning to raise his son Jing Feng into adulthood before taking revenge.
However, just a few months later, Jia Yun suddenly went south to Yangzhou and ransacked the homes of Lou Shoufeng and Lou Biao.
After Jing Lie learned about this incident, he was both surprised and worried. Needless to say, he was surprised. What was worrying was that his sister Jing Yan, as Lou Biao's concubine, was also taken down as a prisoner.
So Jing Lie found Jia Yun, told Jia Yun his story in detail, and begged Jia Yun to let Jing Yan go.
Jia Yun punished the Lou family severely, which made Jing Lie feel grateful. If he let Jing Yan go again, Jing Lie would be willing to be loyal to Jia Yun from then on.
Jia Yundang even had the idea to train Jing Lie as a dead soldier, thinking that it was necessary for him to have a dead soldier like Jing Lie.
At that time, Jia Yun did not transfer to the commander of Jinyi Mansion, nor did he have any objections. At that time, he wanted to train Jing Lie as a dead soldier, but he had other purposes, such as assassinating Jia She and Jia Zhen...
So Jia Yun released Jing Yan.
When Jia Yun ransacked many homes in Huainan, he only escorted hundreds of prisoners back to Beijing. Obviously, these prisoners were carefully selected, and Jia Yun had the power to release Jing Yan at the time.
Jia Yun asked Jing Lie to take Jing Yan away, and asked Jing Lie and his family to go to Beijing to find him.
Later, Jing Lie took his wife, son Jing Feng, and sister Jing Yan to Shenjing City.
Jia Yun secretly provided Jing Lie and his family with a lot of living expenses, allowing Jing Lie and his family to live a comfortable life in Shenjing City.
Jia Yun also told Jing Lie that when Jing Feng gets a few years older, he will introduce Jing Feng to the Jing Family Martial Arts School so that Jing Feng can complete the martial arts dream that Jing Lie failed to realize.
At the same time, Jia Yun also carefully observed and even tested Jing Lie, and concluded that Jing Lie was indeed a good soldier, with extraordinary skills, bravery, good character, repaying kindness, loyalty and reliability.
Therefore, not long ago, when Jia Yun was about to lead the Jinyi cavalry south to Yangzhou, she found Jing Lie and proposed to let Jing Lie take over Longshun Escort and train dead soldiers for him. Jing Lie decisively agreed.
Jia Yun also promised to take good care of his wife, son and sister in Shenjing City.
And Jing Lie's wife, son, and sister are all "guarded" by Jia Yun in Shenjing City, so Jing Lie will not rebel against Jia Yun.
Naturally, it was inconvenient for Jing Lie to go south with Jia Yun. He took a boat by water and arrived in Yangzhou earlier than Jia Yun.
After arriving in Yangzhou, according to the prior agreement between him and Jia Yun, he did not act rashly or take the initiative to go to Qianhu Station to find Jia Yun. Instead, he waited for Jia Yun to send someone to find him.
Originally, Yu Zhu was also capable of taking over the task of cultivating dead soldiers from the Longshun Escort Agency.
However, Jia Yun considered that Yu Zhu was originally given to Jia Yun by Cao Wei, and Cao Wei was now a confidant of Emperor Tianzhi. In addition, as the captain of Jia Yun's personal soldiers, Yu Zhu's relationship with Jia Yun was conspicuous.
As Jing Lie was secretly trained by Jia Yun to die, their relationship was secretive.
So Jia Yun sent Yu Zhu instead of Jing Lie.
In addition, before Jia Yun went south to Yangzhou, she also found Cheng Huanian and asked Cheng Huanian to help transport 5,000 taels of gold to Yangzhou. Cheng Huanian had rich experience in this area. Five thousand taels of gold was not a lot and weighed only a few hundred kilograms. It was transported by water.
Going to Yangzhou is fast.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So, when Jia Yun arrived in Yangzhou, the five thousand taels of gold had also been transported to Yangzhou.
There is no way, in this world, things like banknotes are not yet popular.
Although banknotes called "Jiaozi" appeared as early as the Song Dynasty, due to the backwardness of anti-counterfeiting technology and the lack of restraint in issuance by the court, this thing was unreliable and later disappeared.
In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, real banknotes appeared, but due to some limitations, they did not become popular.
In the previous life, banknotes did not become popular until the end of the Qing Dynasty, and "A Dream of Red Mansions" had been written for many years at that time.
Therefore, although there are such things as banknotes in the world of Red Mansions, they are rarely used, and there is almost no mention of banknotes in the original work.
Although there is such a thing as a meeting ticket in the Red Mansion World, which is similar to a money order in the previous life, it is inconvenient for Jia Yun to use the meeting ticket this time.
In addition, although Jia Yun collected more than one million taels of silver in Yangzhou this time, it was inconvenient for him to misappropriate 50,000 taels of silver. Even if he made up for it as soon as possible after returning to Beijing, once this matter was discovered
, even a serious crime would arouse the suspicion of Emperor Tianzhi.
…
…
During the day today, under Jia Yun's arrangement, Jing Lie quietly came to the Qianhu Branch of Jinyi Mansion and met Jia Yun.
Jia Yun handed over a letter written by Cheng Huanian to Jing Lie and asked Jing Lie to find the person Cheng Huanian sent to escort the five thousand taels of gold.
Immediately, Jing Lie sent the gold to Li Danbai's house and signed a document with Li Danbai regarding the transfer of the Longshun Escort Agency.
But this night, Jing Lie quietly came to the Qianhu Office of Jinyi Mansion again, took the signed documents, and reported the matter to Jia Yun.
This was also Jia Yun's request. He wouldn't worry about such a big matter without confirming it.
At this point, Jia Yun officially purchased Longshun Escort Agency, which was worth 100,000 taels of silver, at a low price of 50,000 taels of silver, which meant that he owned the Yangzhou General Escort Agency under this agency, as well as nine other agencies distributed from south to north.
The escort bureau and more than 300 people, most of whom are skilled warriors...
But for now, it is only a formal acquisition.
Next, Jing Lie will successfully take control of Longshun Escort Bureau with the help of Li Danbai.
Through this escort agency, Jing Lie will take over the escort business owned by Jia Yun and Cheng Huanian.
Even so, Jia Yun will still need to keep pouring money into this escort agency in the future. Training dead soldiers is not an easy task. It requires a dead soldier leader like Jing Lie and a lot of money.
Here comes the problem.
Now that Jia Yun has discovered that she is the real sixth prince of Emperor Tianzhi, why does she continue her plan to train dead soldiers for herself through the Longshun Escort Bureau?
First, because the dangerous situation before made Jia Yun deeply realize that in this world of red mansions, it is necessary for her to have a group of dead soldiers, so that she can not only protect her own safety, but also use them to do some shady things.
The second reason is that Jia Yun still wants to be the emperor, and she wants to be the emperor even more than before!
As the sixth prince of Emperor Tianzhi, he is now more qualified to be emperor.
The most valued son of Emperor Tianzhi at present is the fourth prince Xia Yi, followed by the eldest prince Xia Hao as his eldest son.
And Jia Yun's biological mother is Duan Qingwan, who was born as a maid and was also a female spy carefully trained by the Shui family...
Under such circumstances, Jia Yun knew that even if Emperor Tianzhi publicly recognized his son in the future, no matter how much he contributed to the Qing Dynasty and Emperor Tianzhi in the future, the chances of Emperor Tianzhi passing the throne to him would also be
Too small.
So Jia Yun already has the idea of fighting for the throne in the future!
Again, if he can ascend the throne and become emperor, then he will truly be all-powerful, and this time travel and this new life will be worthwhile.
What's more, the time traveler's great fortune has already made him the son of Emperor Tianzhi. If he doesn't compete for the throne, wouldn't he live up to this great fortune?
In addition, Jia Yun has already set his ambitions in this life. His ambition in this life is not only to dominate the world, but also to make some contributions to the country. He does not want this country to be bullied and suffer so much in the future.
The ambition is to eat the meat of Huns when hungry, and to drink the blood of Huns when they are thirsty.
Be from scratch, clean up the old mountains and rivers, overturned Que.
It's not that Jia Yun is arrogant. In his opinion, as long as he can become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, with his previous life experience and military research and development capabilities, this country should become very powerful.
Jia Yun wants to dominate this country, and she also wants this country to dominate the world!
…
…
During the day and night, Jia Yun met Jing Lie twice at the Qianhu Office in Jinyi Mansion.
In the evening of that day, Jia Yun went to the Lianghuai Yanzheng Yamen and had dinner with Zou Jin just like when he first arrived.
The difference is that Zou Jin took the initiative to invite him to the dinner when he first came here, but it was Jia Yun who took the initiative to ask Zou Jin to invite him to the dinner today.
This time, Jia Yun and Zou Jin drank again.
Of course, drinking is not Jia Yun's purpose. Jia Yun's purpose is to bring up two things while drinking.
The first thing is to ask Zou Jin to continue to maintain stability in the Yangzhou salt industry and even the Lianghuai salt industry.
Because, even if Jia Yun will return to Beijing tomorrow, what he does in Yangzhou this time will cause the Yangzhou Salt Industry and even the Lianghuai Salt Industry to be unstable.
The Yangzhou Salt Industry and even the Lianghuai Salt Industry must not be in chaos, otherwise the consequences will be really serious.
To maintain the stability of the Yangzhou salt industry and even the Lianghuai salt industry, this matter requires the hard work of Shen Yuanwen, the chief executive of Yangzhou, and the hard work of Zou Jin, the salt inspector of the Huaihe and Huaihe Rivers.
The second thing was that Jia Yun asked Zou Jin to take care of Li Danbai.
Naturally, Jia Yun would not confess, saying that he and Li Danbai had secretly reached a deal.
Jia Yun raised this matter for two other reasons.
First, Yao Sili is about to be taken to Shenjing City for committing a major crime. The Yao family is probably going to be doomed. Besides Yao Sili, the other seven general salt merchants have all offended the people behind them this time because of the account books and letters.
Officials.
In this case, in addition to Shen Yuanwen, it is also necessary to ensure that at least two other general salt merchants do not collapse, otherwise the Yangzhou Salt Industry and even the Lianghuai Salt Industry are likely to be in chaos.
Relatively speaking, the backstage officials Li Danbai offended this time have less power and are easier to protect.
Secondly, Jia Yun told Zou Jin that he had fallen in love with Li Danbai's daughter Li Feixue, and even said that because Li Danbai's mansion in Shenjing City was adjacent to his own, she got to know Li Feixue in Shenjing City.
Jia Yun said this to avoid Zou Jin's suspicion.
It's better to say that than tell the truth.
Regarding this matter, Jia Yun also informed Li Danbai in advance and strictly ordered Li Danbai not to confess the truth in front of Zou Jin.
Jia Yun went south to Yangzhou this time and helped Zou Jin a lot, making Zou Jin feel that she owed him a favor.
In addition, after Jia Yun returned to Beijing, she would say good things to Zou Jin in front of Emperor Tianzhi, making Zou Jin owe Jia Yun a favor.
In addition, Zou Jin now appreciates Jia Yun very much.
So, Zou Jin agreed to both of the two things Jia Yun proposed.
In fact, Jia Yun now also appreciates Zou Jin.
But he knew that even if Emperor Tianzhi and he teamed up to rectify the Lianghuai Salt Industry this time, the Lianghuai Salt Industry would still be a big mess in the future.
This means that Zou Jin is already in a dangerous situation. If things don't turn around, Zou Jin will probably end up like Lin Ruhai and not end well...
