Chapter 143 The impeachment of the Dachaohui and the hot discussion of Iwami Yinshan!
Chapter 143 The impeachment of the Imperial Council and the hot discussion of Iwami Ginzan!
Just at this time, the housekeeper who followed from Rongguo Mansion and was responsible for arranging meals came to greet all the masters for breakfast. Jia Lian asked Ping'er who was following Wang Xifeng to see if Qin Keqing was up, and took the others there.
The restaurant has been decorated by the stewardess of Huangzhuang.
After everyone sat down, Qin Keqing also came to the restaurant. Wang Xifeng and the Jia sisters greeted her with smiles.
Qin Keqing is wearing a bun with hanging clouds today. She is wearing a Ruyi Liuyun double-breasted coat on the top and an emerald smoked cloud skirt on the bottom. A pair of gold silk lotus leaf embroidered shoes are hidden under the skirt. There seems to be all kinds of charm in her pair of bright eyes, which is very pleasing to the eye.
Although they had just separated, Jia Lian's eyes were still involuntarily attracted to her, causing Qin Keqing to look at him with a slightly blushing face, and then sat gracefully beside Jia Lian.
Then Jia Baoyu, Jia Cong, and Lin Yong arrived, all looking sleepy, obviously aroused by the nuns.
However, when Jia Baoyu saw the sisters who were already seated and the beautiful faces of his two sisters-in-law, his spirits suddenly rose.
The seven or eight-year-old boy who grew up among the makeup and powder didn't have any special thoughts. He just loved beauty a little bit.
Jia Baoyu also knew that Brother Lian was not as tolerant to him as he was to his sisters, so he did not dare to get close to his two beautiful sisters-in-law in front of him.
At this moment, he had to squeeze in and sit down between his sister Yuan Chun and Lin Daiyu, which made Lin Daiyu glare at him dissatisfied, but she didn't say anything after that.
This pair of cousins are now very familiar with each other, mainly because Baoyu is very good at being a good person in front of his elder sisters.
The staple food for today's breakfast is bijing porridge and bijing. Since ancient times, it has been a high-grade tribute rice given to the royal family. According to "Miscellaneous Songs of Food", the grains are slender, slightly green, and fragrant when cooked.
This green stem rice is a specialty of the imperial village here. Among the only two acres of cultivated land, there are about ten acres of top-quality land that can grow green stem rice.
This kind of rice is extremely rare and has always been a good food that only high-ranking and powerful families can afford, second only to certain staple foods exclusively used by the royal family.
For example, royal offerings - rouge rice, etc...
In addition to a few simple side dishes and pastries, it was a bit simpler and rougher than in Rongguo Mansion, but in this unrestricted place, the little sisters all had a great time eating.
In the morning, everyone in the Jia family continued to play around in the imperial village. Near noon, Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun said they wanted to take a dip in the warm soup. Several little sisters joined forces to take the follower Jia Baoyu, Jia Cong, and Lin Yong together.
The younger one rushed to another small pool.
Under the care of all the maids and maids, the sisters of the Jia family had a great time playing in the water and had a great time.
In the morning, the maids and the maids had packed up and paid their respects. At noon, everyone had a unique peasant meal in the palace. After eating well, they began to climb on the carriage and called back Jia Cuizhu and Jia Cuizhu who were running wild.
Jin Ling'er started to return to Shenjing City.
In Rongqing Hall, Sister Jia and others who had returned naturally gathered around the old lady and had a good time.
Everyone, you and I will tell you what I saw and heard in the Imperial Villa, especially the feeling of refreshing energy after taking a dip in the hot spring pool...
Qin Keqing, who came in later, also said that it was a pity that the old lady did not go this time. He invited the old lady to have some free time in the future and take her sisters to experience the hot spring pool.
"Okay, okay, I, an old fool, just want to take advantage of the princess. When spring starts tomorrow, we will go."
"Old ancestor, didn't you agree that from now on you will call your granddaughter-in-law by her name at home? Why do you keep mentioning the word princess again? If your husband dislikes your grandson-daughter-in-law, she will come here every day.
Come and cry! See if you are bored..."
"He dares! My dear wife is a good wife who can't be found even with a lantern. If Lian'er dares to bully you, come and tell me, our ancestors will make the decision for you!"
Even the old lady attaches great importance to Qin Keqing's complicated identity. In addition, she is indeed gentle and elegant, and handles things appropriately.
After the Wang family obediently handed over power, with the help of Qin Keqing and Wang Xifeng, the complicated housekeeping affairs of Rongguo Mansion were managed smoothly. The old lady saw it and could not be dissatisfied.
In this way, the family business has been passed down legitimately, and the old lady's own relatives still hold several key positions in the inner house, which cannot delay her own enjoyment.
Coupled with the fact that she had a treasury of private money in hand, the old lady's position in Rongguo Mansion had not been shaken at all.
For the old lady, isn't this the most perfect situation?
…
On the tenth day of the lunar month, the first great court meeting in the fifth year of Baode's reign in Daqing Dynasty, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, civil and military officials were separated, and all the ministers bowed and saluted Emperor Baode who was sitting on the dragon throne.
Jia Lian officially got married last year, and since he has reached adulthood, there is no way he can avoid this year's court meeting.
Jia Lian, as a hereditary first-class martial general in the Duke of Rong, even though he was not able to stand in the front row of the military attaches, was still among the crowd of military attaches at the front.
After listening to the eunuch reading the long and disgusting congratulations, the civil servants over there began to report the troubles all over the country, and then the censors began to impeach this and that.
Jia Lian, who was going to court for the first time, felt drowsy after hearing this. Suddenly, Jia Lian noticed that everyone around him was looking at him, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
When I came back to my senses, I heard someone behind me saying something about the cruelty, brutality, cruelty, indiscriminate killing, violation of loyalty and forgiveness, etc.
Only then did Jia Lian realize that he was being impeached?
Hey! This is something new that happens for the first time in two lives!
Jia Lian took a quick look and saw a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance and a righteous look. He was wearing a fourth-grade official robe and was loudly complaining about the murders Jia Lian had committed in Jiangnan and the openness of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce.
The negative impact of placing a bounty on one's head.
After a while, the imperial censor finally stopped talking, and all the civil and military officials at the meeting all turned their attention to Jia Lian, who still looked gloomy and seemed to be fine.
The Hall of Supreme Harmony in Nuo Da fell into a strange silence. Until Emperor Baode, who was sitting in the dragon chair on the high platform, asked Jia Lian among the generals below.
"What do Jia Qing think?"
"Your Majesty, I feel that the ministers in the DPRK should focus their energy and stance on our own subjects, and think about the problem from the perspective of the people of Daqing."
"..."
Then the Hall of Supreme Harmony fell silent again, and the imperial censor who impeached Jia Lian looked even more ugly.
No more? I'm impeaching you. You just made such a f*cking understatement and you have nothing to say?
Is such a big thing so insignificant in your eyes?
What's even more outrageous is that Jia Lian didn't even look at him, as if he was an insignificant clown...
Just when he was about to continue to accuse angrily, another doctor beside him stood up.
This is an energetic little old man in his 50s with a fair complexion and a goatee.
"Your Majesty, I have also heard about this matter. But according to what I know, the people General Jia killed in Jiangnan were all illegal salt merchants. These salt merchants were greedy for profit. In order to smuggle salt, they were lawless and killed people at every turn. They committed many crimes in Jiangnan.
The crimes are simply too numerous to describe, and they are truly deserved!"
"Even if the crime is deserved, it should be handled by a competent authority!"
"If Yousi can handle it, why are the eleven salt merchants in Jiangnan so free now? Yousi can't handle it, but now someone is helping to handle it, and most of the money gained has gone into the treasury. Can this still be considered a crime?"
"You! Mr. Wang, are you contemptuous of the imperial court?"
"I don't dare, I'm just telling the truth!
If General Jia hadn't taken action this time, who could have killed those national thieves?
If not, where did the imperial court get the 40 million taels of silver to put into the treasury last year?
Without these 40 million taels of silver, how would the imperial court cope with the severe drought in southern Shandong, northern Shaanxi, and Jiangdong this year?"
"..."
"..."
Next, the two civil servants, who are both censors, ostensibly argued over the two issues of procedural justice and consequential justice.
But actually, which side do these two people represent? What is the reason for the dispute? Most people in the Hall of Supreme Harmony know it well.
The imperial censor who spoke out first must be the spokesperson of the Jiangnan family who was deeply involved in the maritime trade business.
The Mr. Wang behind him was an early protégé of Zhang Ju, the second minister of the dynasty who was about to become an official. Jia Lian had often met this man in the Zhang Mansion since he was a child, and he was also an old acquaintance.
With his current status, Jia Lian naturally disdained to quarrel with the cannon fodder flag that jumped out first, as if he didn't have many party members.
After a long time, the two chattering incessantly were interrupted impatiently by Emperor Baode, who was sitting on the dragon throne, and scolded them a few words.
An impeachment from a censor doctor seemed to have been resolved like a child's play in the civil war at the censor's station.
But everyone knows that this storm has just begun...
At the same time, Jia Lian also revealed part of his background to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, which also made some people more and more fearful of him.
…
After retiring from the court, Jia Lian went to Longshou Palace again, and the Supreme Emperor was very happy to see him.
Although this boy's strength and power are extremely fearful, the Emperor is well-informed and mature, so his monarch's ability to recognize people is still above the standard.
He could see that Jia Lian, at least until now, still has the true noble mentality of living with the country. He said before that he did not want to see the Daqing Dynasty, or that the land of China would be at war again, and he was serious about changing the dynasty!
Several old royal ministers secretly spied on Jia Lian several times, but were frightened away by the strong men around Jia Lian. The great minister even asserted that there must be legendary combat power around Jia Lian!
Emperor Taizu of Daqing, who defeated all the invincible opponents in the world, was also a legendary strongman who was above the realm of innateness. Later emperors had more or less practiced martial arts or the way of refining the gods, and the way of studying and nourishing Qi, naturally.
They all admired the power of Emperor Taizu from the royal secret books.
Under such circumstances, it was absolutely undesirable to confront Jia Lian head-on, and Jia Lian obviously did not show any desire to be a loyal minister and filial son of the Da Qing Dynasty, and went straight to the point of saying that he wanted to enfeoff.
Although I am indeed very unhappy in my heart, it is better than learning from Wang Mang or Sima Zhao!
Besides, the overseas enfeoffment policy proposed by Jia Lian was indeed of great benefit to the Daqing Dynasty and the royal family.
Of course, this has nothing to do with the mysterious celestial phenomenon that suddenly broke out six or seventy miles outside the capital city a few nights ago.
The Supreme Emperor also didn't want to know if this had anything to do with the fact that Jia Lian and his younger brothers and sisters suddenly ran out to stay overnight outside Shenjing City that day.
The great thing is that Jia Lian has another innate strong man under his command. He is not jealous at all, really!
Jia Lian had a lunch in Longshou Palace with the Supreme Emperor and Emperor Baode who arrived later, Prince Yizhong and several princes from the clan. After talking for most of the afternoon, Jia Lian left the palace and returned to Rongguo Mansion.
.
…
…
…
The most recent issue of "Nanyang Maritime Affairs" of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce talked about the four major islands of Fuso and explained in detail the advantages and disadvantages of this land.
Among them, "Ishimi Yinshan" is mentioned with great color and ink!
In "Nanyang Maritime Affairs", it is described that this silver mountain has been mined by the Fuso people for more than 200 years, and a total of nearly 500,000 taels of silver were mined from it!
And it is predicted that this silver mountain can be mined for at least 100 years!
What a fortune is this?
Everyone who read this issue of "Nanyang Maritime Affairs" flushed with excitement and looked greedy. They wished that the imperial court would immediately send troops to occupy the Iwami Silver Mountain so that they could have their hands on it!
Many princes of the clan and relatives of Rongguo Mansion also came to ask the Jia family for confirmation of the matter.
Most people who had in-depth connections with several large merchants in the south of the Yangtze River had known that Fuso and Japan were rich in silver, but they had never imagined that it was so rich.
It seems that the goods sold to the Fuso people in the past were really sold too cheaply, and many maritime merchants were beating their chests and regretting it endlessly.
Even the two majesties in the palace had red eyes when they saw the description of Iwami Ginzan of the "Nanyang Maritime Affairs" squadron.
In the past ten years, I don’t know what has happened to the land of China. Various natural disasters have occurred frequently. The foundation accumulated by the imperial court over the past few years has been wasted in recent years. The Supreme Emperor abdicated a few years ago, and there are many people in this regard.
reason.
If we can get that silver mountain, many problems will be solved.
These two majesties were also temporarily fascinated by the huge amount of silver in Shijian Silver Mountain. Although silver is good, it cannot be eaten after all.
Even if we win that mountain of stone and silver, we can only cure the symptoms temporarily, but we can't cure the root cause!
However, after this incident, the Daqing Dynasty's enthusiasm for overseas affairs was unprecedentedly high. After all, land, spices, and ivory, these things still have to go through many processes before they can be converted into money.
But the free money is different! Now it is there, just waiting for us to pick it up, and we can use it directly as money when we get it back!
In the Rongguo Mansion, Jia She used the words he had agreed with Jia Lian to deal with the guests, and Jia Lian was summoned to the Dragon Head Palace again.
