"I know that you support me very much and admire me from the bottom of your heart. This is the basis of our mutual understanding and love, and the key to mutual trust. But don't show it on your face, keep it in your heart."
Jia Liu was very satisfied with the reaction of his eldest brother-in-law Kui Ni. He knew that Lao Kui's reaction was sincere.
He is also 100% at ease with Lao Kui, not only because they know each other well, but also because they have a common bond with Sister Yu'er.
Lao Kui has made significant progress recently, and it cannot be ruled out that he has been influenced by the essence of Jia Liu.
"Now, your job is to stir up the atmosphere of the National Assembly and let all the clan members, whether they are red belts or yellow belts, participate. The rich will contribute money and the powerful will contribute, and strive to unearth their secrets in the shortest possible time.
potential, thereby weakening their overall strength and laying the foundation for us to usurp the Qing Dynasty in an all-round way."
"First, you have to do this. Second, you have to do that. Then, you have to do this. Finally."
Jia Liu made some speeches on related work.
Queenie took the notebook and recorded it carefully, and from time to time she showed an expression on her forehead as if she and I had completely thought of each other.
"Fu Zhongtang said that this time the meeting of princes and ministers will vote for Heshuo, Prince Doro and Prince Doro must be fair and just, and all descendants of the clan whose ancestors have contributed to the country should have the opportunity to participate. I highly agree with this, but, what?
What is justice?"
Jia Liu picked up the tea bowl and drank half of it, then took out his cigarette case and lit one with Lao Kui.
"When the descendants of the same person are selected, you can't say that the eldest brother is good, but the second brother is not, right? I think if you want to be fair and just, there is only one way, and that is whoever has more money wins."
After hearing this, Queenie had a look of admiration on her face and couldn't help but nod her head: "My consort has a far-sighted and lofty position. He found the fundamental solution to the problem by looking at the appearance of the incident. I am ashamed of myself for this."
"Okay, okay, put away that expression that makes me goosebumps. Although we are monarchs and ministers, we are actually brothers. We are like-minded and united. There are no outsiders here, so why should we be hypocritical like those ordinary people?
?”
Jia Liu took Lao Kui to the window and looked at the lively banquet in the distance, "Remember, no matter who it is, as long as he can afford the money and his surname is Aixinjueluo, then we will definitely support him. Even if
It doesn't matter that he and I have a grudge against killing our father. Isn't there an old saying among the Han people that if we don't fight, we won't get to know each other."
"Your Majesty really distinguishes between public and private affairs. His mind is not as simple as punting a boat. It can really accommodate the vastness of the world and the size of the rivers and seas."
"You're here again."
"I'm sorry if I don't complain, Your Majesty!"
Lao Kui closed the book, hesitated and asked, "What if the fourth elder brother and the fifteenth elder brother also come out to choose?"
"oh?"
Jia Liu said without thinking, "As long as he is willing to pay and the emperor comes to choose, I will support him."
Queenie knew what was going on, and then asked more professional questions.
It’s just that they don’t seem to have many nomination votes at their disposal.
He and Lao A, the two ministers, each have five nomination rights. Your Majesty, the governor of Zhili, has five nomination rights. The three of them together only have fifteen.
Calculating 20,000 taels per person, this is only 300,000 taels.
"Fifteen, just fifteen. As long as we ensure that all the 15 people nominated are included in the candidate list, won't we be able to get a reward of 2.25 million taels at a time?"
Jia Liu is very good at mathematics. One five equals five and he can accurately calculate the net profit of the first round of election.
There must be no problem with the number of votes. There are eight hard-core votes from the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites. I have one, Tianjin Lao Xu has one, Zhili Lao Yang has one, and there should be no problem with the two votes from Shandong Cathay and Yu Yijian. After all, these two
I owe Jia Liu a great favor.
Although my brother-in-law Chunying invested in the Baolong project, there is no problem in letting him vote for someone supported by his brother-in-law.
Enming, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Jin Jian, the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ji Yun, the minister of the Ministry of War, who had just been recruited, and He Shen, the minister of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, a good friend. There are eighteen votes.
Although Yonggui, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, is close to the old rich man, his son Yijiang'a has a very good relationship with Jialiu, and it is not impossible to win over him through private talks.
Enming and his father, the imperial minister Zhong Yin, are also like this.
I'll go talk to Mr. Prince An right away and ask for a few votes. It's definitely okay.
The Eight Pillars of the Han Army had iron eight votes, and the minimum number was thirty votes.
I'll talk to Bi Yuan later. Doesn't the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Lerjin, hope that Jia Liu can support Yongxin, the descendant of Lao Shi4, so he should use this as a condition to ask the other party to support the candidate he recommends.
Mutual aid associations are essentially about mutual aid and mutual benefit.
The old rich man is now trying to bypass the mutual aid association and go it alone, so should our mutual aid association hold him back to prevent the mutual aid association from splitting or even disbanding completely due to this matter?
The top priority now is to first ensure that there will be no problems with the votes of Jia Party members, that is, they must not be in the dark and fight among themselves.
Jia Liu handed this job over to Queenie and solemnly announced: "From now on, you, the vice president of the Capital Branch, will also serve as whip."
"Can you whip?"
Lao Kui didn't quite understand what his brother-in-law meant.
"If the old donkey refuses to pull the cart, does the driver have to give him a whip?"
Jia Liu made an analogy, asking Queeni to ensure that members of the Jia Party fully obeyed the instructions and voted at the meeting of princes and ministers.
After realizing this, Lao Kui felt confident about this job and said that it would be absolutely no problem, but he thought of a troublesome thing.
It is about the several rounds of voting before and after this political meeting of princes and ministers. Should the voting be by name or anonymously?
If the name is registered, the die-hard vote will definitely be fine. After all, no one dares to offend Mr. Jia Jia.
But if it’s anonymous, you really don’t know who voted and who didn’t.
Jia Liu really didn't think about this question, and he never thought about whether to register his name, so he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
If your name is registered, some tickets may not be available.
Such as Enming and Jin Jian.
These two have to do long-term latent work.
Although there is a possibility that the ticket will be bounced if it is anonymous, the difference will generally not be much different. Therefore, Jia Liu asked Kuini, the organizer, to confirm with the Military Aircraft Department tomorrow whether it will be registered and then discuss it.
"Go and greet Qingzhongtang and my brother-in-law for me, and I'll talk to Bi Futai."
When Jia Liu saw Bi Yuan again, he looked very happy, as if he had spotted his favorite girl among the crowd.
This made Jia Liu inevitably think of his good brothers - Jade-faced Qinglong Heshen.
Thinking back to the way Bi Yuan looked at him in Xi'an, he couldn't help but shudder secretly.
Secretly reminding myself that in the future, the Jia Dynasty will definitely treat the issue of official style as a major issue. People with such corrupt morals as Bi Yuan will not be allowed to be officials no matter how talented they are.
"I can support Yongxin, but you must also support Jiucheng."
Jia Liu didn't want to talk nonsense with Bi Yuan, so he offered an exchange condition.
After telling Bi Yuan who Jiucheng was, Bi Yuan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, saying that as long as his consort could take the lead in voting for Yongxin at the meeting, then he, Governor Le, and Governor Wang would also vote for Jiucheng.
However, Jia Liu put forward another condition, asking Leerjin to give him an additional five hundred thousand taels in benefits.
"Fifty thousand taels?"
Bi Yuan was a little surprised, "Isn't my husband a little too greedy?"
"Whether it's greedy or not depends on what Brother Bi thinks."
Jia Liu chuckled lightly, "You only add up to three votes. Whether you support Fu Zhongtang or me, it won't make a difference. But I have thirty votes in my hand. If the grandson of the Fourteenth Master doesn't have me,
With these thirty votes, I can guarantee that he won’t even win the first round.”
