Chapter Five Hundred and Sixty-two My brother is willing to be king?
Queenie couldn't answer the question of the consort.
It can only be proven by heart.
Emperor Taizongwen liked to give his women to meritorious officials, so for a figure like Hong Chengchou who could help the Qing Dynasty rule the Central Plains, it was not impossible to give a beloved concubine to make people happy.
After all, compared with the country, women are nothing.
There is no hole without wind, and there is no wave without wind.
This matter has been spread among the people, and it may be the historical truth.
Otherwise, who would be so full that they would start making lies about others?
Why didn't the Qing Dynasty dare to write this matter into official history? Isn't it too embarrassing?
Human nature.
What grandson doesn’t pack his grandpa’s bags after they become rich?
Even the descendants of traitors still know how to avenge their ancestors and think of ways to beautify them.
But regardless of whether Hong Chengchou slept with Xiaozhuang or not, Jia Liu basically believed that he at least started as Taizong.
Because he had just given Dayu'er to someone who was useful to him.
Now let’s see how much Queenie has Hong Chengchou’s abilities.
That's how things were settled.
Queenie went home to prepare and was scheduled to marry her new wife on the sixth day of the first lunar month.
Jia Liu had nothing to explain, just four words: "Be solemn."
The pick-up location must not be at Yuchun Building, as the quality there is not good.
So after Queenie left happily, Jia Liu called the housekeeper Zhao Jinzhong and asked him to buy a small courtyard in the outer city for Sister Yu'er's wedding. Later, the courtyard would be regarded as a dowry from his brother-in-law. It was not in vain for the sister and brother to get to know each other.
field.
"Be careful when buying. It's best to have ready-made furniture. It doesn't matter if it's older. Spend what you need to spend and save what you need to save."
He also told Zhao Jinzhong to arrange for a few maids to go over and clean up the yard after buying it, and then he sat down and continued to review the official documents.
First, I looked at the summary reports of Ruilin and Demu on the rectification actions.
The general amount is satisfactory, with revenue from operating fines of more than 420,000 taels, income from non-operational fines (officials and citizens who violate laws and disciplines) of more than 270,000 taels, and net profit of nearly 700,000 taels.
This number can be said to be high, but it can be neither high nor high. After all, the Bada Hutong area is the most luxurious entertainment center in the entire empire, with hundreds of venues of various sizes.
There is no traffic.
The money is temporarily stored in the warehouse of the infantry commander's office in Chongwenmen, and will be transferred to Baoding when the guard army is handed over later in the year.
Jia Liu does not plan to deposit the recently obtained money with a bank account. Instead, he plans to open a Zhili Bank after going to Baoding and link up with the Bank of Sichuan. While vigorously developing the military industry, he also plans to step aside from the Qing Dynasty in finance.
.
The bank, a modern business institution, is also conducive to Jia Liu's reform cause, and international trade must be decent.
As I closed my account book, I felt more and more impressed that as long as I had a sharp mind, an open mind, and enough courage, there would be a solution to any financial problem no matter how big it was.
Of course, the premise is that his own power does not get involved in these areas, otherwise, he will not be able to clear up all three.
Otherwise, if someone here reveals that he wants to sweep the alley, the news will be spread to the other side of the alley with a stick of incense at most.
And sweep your ass away.
The reason why this social rectification campaign was so successful was that the sheep he gathered had nothing to do with him.
It can also be said that he does not have many properties in the capital yet.
When I take office as governor of Baoding in the next year, I can selectively promote this model in major cities in Zhili, and I can fine as little as hundreds of thousands of taels.
It is estimated that the name of national mourning cannot be used anymore, but it can be used in other aspects, such as sanitation, fire prevention, social security, etc.
As the saying goes, as long as your thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties.
It is worth mentioning that during the rectification operation, more than a dozen criminals were captured, including those who committed theft and robbery, as well as two murderers wanted by Shuntian Prefecture.
As an unexpected surprise, the relevant criminals have been handed over to Shuntian Mansion.
After doing some mental arithmetic and the numbers matched, Jia Liu picked up his brush and circled three circles at the end of the account book, and the matter was concluded successfully.
There are three letters on the table.
The first is a letter from Song Chun, the current general of Jiangning.
This Songchun is the eldest grandson of Jia Liu's second aunt, Jia Xiuqin. Jia Liu's second aunt's father is Dorobele Shangshan, the grandson of his brother Shuerhaqi who was killed by Emperor Taizu.
The ancestor of Prince Fengneheng of Jian is Jierhalang, the sixth son of Shuerhaqi, and the ancestor of Songchun is Fei Yangwu, the younger brother of Jierhalang.
The title of Prince Zheng of Jierharang is now Prince Jane, and this title was inherited by Feng Neheng.
In the same class, Feng Neheng and Song Chun are uncles and brothers from the fifth server.
But Songchun is not much worse than Prince Jian of Feng Neheng. Before he was appointed as General Jiangning, he had served as the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Manchurian Guard of the Xianghuang Banner, the Governor of the Mongolia of the Zhenghong Banner, and the position of Minister of the Interior. He also once served as the Youzongren of the Zongren Mansion.
He has a high prestige among the clan.
General Jiang Ning is the most important figure in military power in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. He is similar to the Minister of War in the Southern Capital of the Ming Dynasty. Jia Liuyi wanted to use the Xinghan Army to extend his hand into the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, so he must have a plan for General Jiang Ning.
Fortunately, Songchun was his second cousin, and Daquan and Songchun's father were direct cousins.
Therefore, after moving the old man's grave, Jia Liu wrote to Song Chun specifically to inform him of this matter.
Regardless of whether you, Songchun, recognize this relative or not, our old Jia family must fulfill its obligations.
Otherwise, if Songchun didn't tell them when he talked about the old man moving his grave, it would be because the Jia family didn't regard them as relatives, and Jia Liu would be embarrassed.
In addition to writing a letter to Songchun, Jia Liu also specially selected two exquisite items from the two treasures obtained from Tailing and sent them to Songchun.
As for whether Songchun can recognize these two items as burial objects of the late emperor, that depends on his own abilities.
The content of Songchun's reply was actually nothing. It just said that I knew about the move of my grandfather's grave, and that people in other places could not worship him.
In addition, the younger brother Jia Liu was asked to ask Daquan, the cousin, for his condolences.
Others, gone.
However, Song Chun enclosed a banknote with a face value of three hundred taels.
This Jia Liu understands that he is just showing favor.
When the old man moved to a new house, Song Chun, as the eldest grandson of his second aunt and grandma, had to accept the favor.
The money is not much, but the significance is great.
Before that, there had been no contact between the Jia family and the second aunt's grandmother for thirty years.
Weddings, funerals, etc., no favors were ever used.
In other words, both parties have almost forgotten the existence of this relative.
Thirty years have passed, and Songchun, who is immobile, suddenly offers favors to the Jia family. What does it mean?
Holding the banknote sent by his cousin, Jia Liu smiled slightly. Facts have proved that as long as you are tough, your relatives, no matter how far away, will come to recognize you.
It cannot be ruled out that Uncle Se and his aunt and nephew Songchun secretly informed Beijing of the developments through letters.
Jia Liu could think of wooing Song Chun, who was a noble general of Jiang Ning, but how could Uncle Se not think of this aunt and nephew?
After thinking for a moment, Jia Liu put down the banknote, picked up the brush again, and wrote a reply to his cousin Song Chun.
This time, there was only one short line in the letter - "Feng Neheng was executed for his rebellion. Will my brother be the Prince of Heshuo?"
