After listening to Jia Ke's order, Sun Yan nodded quickly and said: "Your Excellency, you must be thoughtful. We have to be searched several times when entering and exiting the palace these days. It is really inconvenient. It is better for us to have our own yamen."
"
"In that case, just send a message to the Ministry of Industry and ask them to draw a drawing. Let's discuss it carefully. Also, the building doesn't need to be big, it's big enough for us to work in, and there's no problem in terms of safety."
Jia Ke did not consult with anyone else, and now he could handle the country's affairs alone.
Sun Yan thought for a while and said: "My lord, this is a good idea, but our money is really tight this year. The disaster in the Huaihe and Huaihe areas has just passed. The disaster in Shaanxi has just subsided. I am afraid that the Treasury of the Ministry of Revenue is already empty.
.”
Jia Ke frowned, and then he remembered this matter. Everything had come together this year. In addition, the emperor embezzled three million taels, and the treasury was indeed unable to make ends meet.
Jia Ke thought for a while and said: "Then send a message to the Salt Affairs Office and ask the salt merchants to collect three million silver for me."
At this point, Jia Ke is determined and has no room for maneuver. These profiteers are the richest in the world, and they probably have more silver in their warehouses than in the national treasury. If you don't ask them for money at this time, how can you ask for poverty?
common people?
Sun Yan was a little hesitant after hearing Jia Ke's words, "My lord, these salt merchants all have backends. What should we do if these people make trouble?"
After hearing what he said, a cold light appeared in Jia Ke's eyes, "I'm just afraid that they won't make trouble. These pigs have been fattened enough. If they dare to make trouble, I will kill a group of them, confiscate their property and put it into the national treasury."
"
Sun Yan broke out in a cold sweat after listening to Jia Ke's words. Only now did he know what the world's heroes were like. If this prison were to move, the salt merchants in Jiangnan would probably be unbalanced. These salt merchants seemed to be in bad luck.
.
Sun Yan stopped talking about this and started another topic, "My lord, you have arrested Liu Yu, what should we do now that the official department is open?"
The question Sun Yan asked was on point. The Ministry of Civil Affairs has always been an important department in the imperial court. This department must be managed by a large number of people all the time.
Jia Ke thought about the people under his command, "Then let Zhao Shu, the current Minister of Rites, go to the Ministry of Personnel to become the Minister. As for the position of Minister of Rites, let Meng Ming hold it concurrently."
Jia Ke thought for a while, and as Meng Ming was the Minister of Military and Aircraft, he had taken refuge in him, so he had to reward him with the title of Minister of Etiquette, which was pretty good for this old gentleman.
However, this old gentleman is not very energetic, so let him fry for a few days to see how things are going. If he can't come over, ask his subordinates who have already taken refuge in him to take over.
After Jia Ke finished speaking, he said to Sun Yan: "You draft a transfer document now, and then I use the seal, and you send it out, and let Zhao Shu take up a post in the Ministry of Personnel today. This important position cannot be
Because without Liu Yu, everything is in chaos."
After listening to Jia Ke's words, Sun Yan quickly went to the table next to him and started writing documents, but he was also a little jealous of Zhao Shu. Although he was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, he was still far behind compared to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.
After Sun Yan wrote the transfer document, he sent it to Jia Ke. Jia Ke checked it and stamped it if there were no problems.
Jia Ke then explained: "Things in the capital seem to have been settled, but we cannot take it lightly at the local level."
Sun Yan kept nodding after listening, "Most of the local officials were elected when Liu Yu was in power. Most of these people were his disciples. Now that something happened to him,
I'm afraid these people will cheer him up."
"There must be no room for maneuver in this matter. You first keep an eye on the military aircraft. As long as these people dare to move, they will be criticized. If you can stay where you are honestly, you don't need to worry about them for the time being."
Which one of these officials who can be an official is not the face of a gentry family? If all these people are suppressed, then there will be a sea of offended people. Even Jia Ke is now the prime minister, and he is not willing to do so without any conflict of interest.
Offended so many people.
"I will obey my lord's orders."
After Sun Yan promised Jia Ke, he rolled his eyes a few times and thought of something.
So he reminded Jia Ke: "My lord, these officials don't have much of a problem. They can be demoted to Hainan with just one order. The most worrying thing is the powerful gentry in those places."
Jia Ke also frowned after hearing this. These people are the foundation of the feudal dynasty, but if they can't be used by themselves, there is no need to keep them. If these people are cut like leeks, they will soon come again.
If a group of people grows up, they won't be able to do it unless the current system is overthrown.
Sun Yan saw that Jia Ke didn't pay attention to it, so he quickly said: "My lord, the Zhen family in Jiangnan is very powerful. Now, their family has a hand in all the business in Jiangnan. And our family belongs to the emperor.
Confidant, I am worried that their family is too powerful and may be a hindrance to the lord."
After hearing this, Jia Ke also nodded silently. The power of their family is indeed too huge. They have roots in Jiangnan and have almost penetrated Jiangnan like a sieve. If his family is not destroyed, who will be a gentry in Jiangnan?
It all depends on their faces.
Jia Ke originally wanted to give the order immediately, but then he thought that the Zhen family and the Jia family had been close relatives for several lifetimes. If they were to be disposed of directly without any reason, Jia's mother would not be able to survive.
Jia Ke thought for a moment and said to Sun Yan: "Send someone to keep an eye on them there. If they do anything illegal, report it to me immediately. I will also have a reason to go back and explain to our old lady."
After Jia Ke finished speaking, he smiled bitterly.
Sun Yan immediately understood Jia Ke's difficulties. There was no connection among the big families in this family. It seemed that the Jia family and the Zhen family were also connected.
Jia Ke didn't want to talk about this matter anymore, and then said to Sun Yan: "I'll leave it to you to handle this matter. I'll go back to my mansion to rest. If anything happens, you can go to Wuyang Marquis Mansion to find me."
After hearing this, Sun Yan smiled and said: "My lord, it is no longer called Wuyang Hou's Mansion, it should be called Yan Guogong's Mansion."
As soon as Jia Ke heard this, he smiled and patted his head and said, "I'm used to it. I haven't adapted to the change in my current status."
After Jia Ke finished speaking, he stood up and walked out. Sun Yan followed him and sent Jia Ke outside the door of the military aircraft department.
After Jia Ke arrived outside the door, he seemed to have remembered something. He turned around and said to Sun Yan: "Now the Military Aircraft Department relies on you. If anything happens, you can just handle it yourself."
After listening to Jia Ke's words, Sun Yan felt ecstatic in his heart. It seemed that his lord was preparing to make great use of him. But think about it, Jia Ke will be like an emperor in the future, how can he be obliged to do all this?
Government affairs are naturally handled by his subordinates on his behalf.
After Jia Ke left the military aircraft office, he left the palace gate and took his soldiers with him, all the way back to Ningrong Street.
When they arrived at the entrance of Ningrong Street, they saw that the entire mansion had been surrounded by a large army. Entrance and exit were strictly inspected by the army. No weapons or other objects were allowed to enter the Rongguo Mansion.
When the leading general saw Jia Ke coming, he immediately came to Jia Ke's horse, knelt down and said, "The infantry commander's office, General Ruan Gang, has met the commander-in-chief."
Jia Ke sat calmly on the horse and said: "Get up, is there anything going on in the house these days? Is anyone coming to cause trouble?"
"Come back to the Commander-in-Chief, with our brothers here watching, who would dare to cause trouble?" Ruan Gang stood up and said with some pride. He has worked hard these days just to be able to be in Jia today.
Show your face before Ke.
Jia Ke naturally knew what these men were thinking, so he tried to persuade him: "Yes, but don't be proud. After a while, when the situation stabilizes, you, my confidants, will be of great use."
Ruan Gang heard Jia Ke say that he was a confidant, and he was already so beautiful that he couldn't help but stand there with a more standard posture. And when he heard Jia Ke say that he would be of great use in the future, he couldn't help but think of the feudal territory that would become one outside in the future.
Officer, what kind of scene is that?
After Jia Ke said these words, he led his troops and walked towards Rongguo Mansion.
When Ruan Gang saw Jia Ke leaving, he became even more energetic. He ordered his men to conduct more strict inspections and not allow anyone to sneak in casually.
When Jia Ke came to the gate of Rongguo Mansion with his soldiers, the servants had already seen him. They had been worried for a while, but now they were finally relieved.
The boy at the door quickly ran to Jia Ke's horse, held the reins of the horse for him, and then said flatteringly: "Uncle, you are back. You have not been here these days, so the old lady is worried. I heard that she asked
I’ve been there several times.”
Jia Ke is still very tolerant towards these boys, many of whom used to play with Jia Ke.
Jia Ke turned over and dismounted, handed the reins to the boy, and then said: "What's going on in the house now? Is the old lady still worried?"
The doorman touched his head and said sheepishly: "Uncle, I don't know about this. You'd better ask the sisters in the mansion."
Jia Ke did not embarrass him, and entered the Rongguo Mansion through the side door with his soldiers. Just after walking a few steps, he saw Lin Zhixiao running towards this side with a few boys. It seemed that he had received the news and came to greet him.
Jia Ke's.
Jia Ke then stood there and waited for Lin Zhixiao to pass.
Lin Zhixuan came to Jia Ke, knelt down on his knees, gave Jia Ke a big salute, and then said excitedly: "Uncle, you are finally back. Those soldiers outside have made our house miserable."
Jia Ke ordered Liu Yu to help Lin Zhixiao up first, and then asked: "Are the soldiers outside harassing anyone in our house?"
Lin Zhixiao ran to Jia Ke like a dog's leg and said: "That's not true, they don't have the courage yet. It's just that everyone is searched when they come in and out. Two days ago, Zhao Si's family bought a pair of scissors, and they were stunned.
It was detained, and I went to talk to it for a long time before it was returned."
When Jia Ke heard this, he nodded secretly in his heart. The general just now seemed to have put his heart into it. This time, he should be rewarded, otherwise no one would do anything for him in the future.
Lin Zhixiao had no idea that what he just said not only did not let Jia Ke deal with the officer, but actually gave the officer a chance to be promoted.
"You don't have to complain. The soldiers outside are all under my command. I personally ordered them to protect our house. When the situation becomes peaceful after a while, they will naturally withdraw. Instruct the people below to be patient for two days.
"Jia Ke comforted Lin Zhixiao with a few words.
Lin Zhixiao also knew how to behave, so when he saw Jia Ke let it go so gently, he stopped talking.
