Chapter 146 The wings are hard and the three views are correct
"No hurry, no rush, it's best to wait for the official appointment from the court before returning to Beijing!"
At this time, Lian Er's figure had grown bigger, and the circles under his eyes were darkened, as if he had not woken up. After reading the letter from the capital, he waved his hands and smiled.
As he spoke, there was still a strong smell of alcohol in his mouth.
"Brother Lian, how much have you drunk?"
Jia Cong moved back and said angrily: "You have to show off no matter what, otherwise you will be caught and ruin this great opportunity. Look at you crying like this!"
"this is not……"
Lian Er's face was full of sarcasm, and he said awkwardly: "The officials here in Xishan are too enthusiastic, why can't I just do it for a while?"
"It's better to rest for a few days!"
Jia Cong said with a smile: "It's okay not to return to Beijing for the time being. Just follow me to exercise in the past few days. At least you have to lose the fat on your body, otherwise you can't continue to be a handsome young master!"
"No need, I don't care!"
Lian Er's face changed slightly and he hurriedly declined. He knew how intense Jia Cong's training was. Even Xue Pan, the idiot king, couldn't bear it and found an excuse to go out on business. He didn't think he could bear it.
As for his physical gain, it is not considered obese and is within his tolerance range.
"It's not up to you to chain the second brother!"
Hehehe smiled evilly, with all ill intentions on his face, and said leisurely: "I don't want to bear the anger of my second sister-in-law when I go back!"
With that said, without waiting for Lian Er's objection, he decided directly: "Starting from tomorrow, Brother Lian Er will train with me!"
Ignoring Lian Er's expression of mourning, Jia Cong patted his butt and left, leaving the man some space to think carefully.
Not only did Jia Cong receive a letter from the Crown Prince of Chu, Lian Er also received a letter from the Rongguo Mansion, but the content was completely different.
The Crown Prince of Chu informed Jia Lian about the recent trend in the capital, and that the most dangerous person, Prince Zhongshun, had been knocked to his knees by a temporary message from him. He could return to the capital and continue to be free and unrestrained. That was probably what he meant.
The letter written by Ke Rongguo Mansion to Lian Er did not mention the trend of the capital at all, but only asked him to return to Beijing as soon as possible to deal with some matters in the government.
The one who spoke in this tone was naturally an old lady.
That's right, the letter from the government was urging him to go back and deal with foreign affairs.
This made Lian Er very unhappy. On the day he received the letter, he complained a lot under the influence of alcohol and was quite dissatisfied with the old lady's behavior.
Together, he has been in the officialdom for more than a year, and is doing quite well. He is on the verge of becoming a fourth-rank Shuntian Prime Minister, who is eighteen times better than the second-ranking official.
But in the eyes of the old lady, his efforts in the officialdom were nothing, and she still regarded him as the steward who handled the internal and external affairs of the government.
The reason why Lian Er was unwilling to return to the capital in a hurry was that even though he knew that Prince Zhongshun, the biggest troublemaker, was gone, it still remained the same, and this factor accounted for a large part.
According to Jia Cong, Lian Er is now in the limelight. Even if he does not rely on the resources of the government, he can at least guarantee the real power of the fourth rank official position, which is much better than the foreign affairs steward of the Rongguo Mansion.
In other words, Lian Er's wings are now strong and he doesn't need to be too wary of the old lady's authority.
In the past, there was nothing he could do. The environment and reality of Rongguo Mansion, as well as the attitudes of the bosses, distorted his three views.
Even he himself believed that he was just an outsider in the Rongguo Mansion, helping the second master of the family to deal with foreign affairs, and he could make some money if he could.
Otherwise, no one would be happy to leave a good direct heir to the general's palace to work as an errand boy in the second house.
As for Feng Lazi, she is a complete power animal. Anyway, she will fall to whichever party has the power of the Rongguo Mansion. This is also the point where many fan fiction criticizes her the most.
The situation is different now. Lian Er has been in the officialdom for more than a year, and at least he has reversed his previously distorted views.
By the way, he is the heir to the title of Rong Guofu, not the beloved Phoenix Egg Jia Baoyu.
As soon as the old lady leaves, Rongguo Mansion will be divided into separate families. The second house will be separated as a side branch, and there is no hope of continuing to be the home of Rongguo Mansion.
At that time, Rongguo Mansion will be the existence with the General Mansion as its core, and Lian Er will be the heir apparent.
This is a fact stipulated by Daqing law, a clear rule of the noble class, and recognized by the royal family!
With the eldest master's ruined appearance, even if the Rongguo Mansion is centered around the General's Mansion, he will not be in the mood to take care of things. Lian Er may be able to become the head of the Rongguo Mansion in advance.
Knowing this, how could he still run errands for the second master in politics and manage foreign affairs?
When he becomes the fourth-rank Prime Minister of Shuntian and completely suppresses the second political master in terms of official position and real power, except for the difference in seniority, there will be no need to be humble and petty.
Not to mention, living as a superior in Jinyang was extremely nurturing, and the local officials were all very enthusiastic. When had Lian Er ever experienced this kind of star-studded life?
At this time, the old lady wrote a letter asking him to go back, and even explicitly asked him to go back to handle the internal and external affairs of the house. It was no different from Chi Luoluo's slap in the face. It's no wonder that Lian Er was unhappy and vented his dissatisfaction through drinking.
Naturally, Jia Cong would not be involved in such a thing. Anyway, the old lady was targeting Lian Er no matter what, and had nothing to do with him, the concubine of the general's mansion.
Since Lian Er decided to stay for a while, he had no objection. He just replied to a letter to the Prince of Chu and talked about the situation in Jinyang.
Early the next morning, Lian Er was forcibly lifted out of bed and practiced with Jia Cong for a full hour, almost to the point of collapse from exhaustion.
"Brother Lian, your body is not strong enough!"
Jia Cong was calm and composed, he just wiped the sweat off his forehead casually, changed his clothes at the same time, looked at Lian Er who was lying on the chair and was as limp as mud, and said teasingly.
"No, I have to slow down!"
Waving his hands repeatedly, Lian Er really didn't have the energy to bother, so he said directly: "Third brother, if you have something to do, just go ahead and don't pay attention to me!"
He also heard about Jia Cong's recent challenge to Jinyang's martial arts celebrities and heroes, but he just laughed it off and didn't care.
Even though the rumors outside have changed drastically recently, and there are rumors everywhere that Jia Cong "punches famous martial arts celebrities and kicks heroes in the world", he doesn't pay much attention to it.
Jia Cong knew that he could beat him, but now it was just about converting his strength into fame, it was no big deal.
On the contrary, he was secretly quite happy that Jia Cong took the initiative to show off his excellent martial arts skills. No matter what, it was good to have a master by his side.
After experiencing the thrilling Paihuazi case and hearing local rumors, I was surprised to find that Daqing was not so peaceful.
There are bandits and bandits everywhere, and their scale is not small.
Local tyrants are arrogant and domineering, and some of their actions are even more heinous, but the local government has nothing to do with them.
It's not bad to know so much. He performed well in Xishan and won the recognition of some officials at the banquet, so he learned this information from their mouths.
Speaking of which, Jia Cong knew more than him and was more comprehensive.
It's not that he deliberately inquired, but the information he heard while chatting with Jinyang's martial arts celebrities and heroes.
It wasn't someone telling me deliberately, it was just a casual comment.
The famous Jinyang martial arts figures and heroes who came to his door were all local tycoons. In other words, they were standard local snakes, and they naturally knew what was happening on the ground.
Jia Cong did not reveal his identity, and he came to visit in the name of a martial arts junior from other provinces. He was regarded as a member of the martial arts world, so naturally many topics were not taboo during the dinner.
Ahem, Jia Cong has been competing everywhere in Jinyang, and has not yet encountered the joint siege of Jinyang's martial arts community, so he has naturally been recognized.
What kind of recognition method? In addition to the amazing martial arts, it is naturally the harmonious atmosphere at the wine table.
Of course, Jia Cong always used the excuse of not drinking too much at critical moments in martial arts training, but he had never been drunk before. The famous martial arts master still understands this point of propriety.
It was also during this process that he heard a lot of local things.
As far as Jinyang is concerned, it is considered a relatively well-developed and relatively peaceful area in Xishan. The people's lives are pretty good, but the situation of land annexation here is more serious.
After all, it is a provincial capital, and there are many powerful officials in the place. It is difficult to restrain their greed for land just by relying on morality.
However, due to the recent rise in coal prices, demand has also increased significantly. People at the bottom have more ways to make money, and their lives have become better.
There was even a man named Jia Cong who was not very careless and revealed some news that made me laugh or cry.
Because the demand for coal has increased significantly, mines require a lot of labor, so naturally the cheaper the better.
Some coal mine owners have targeted beggars in the city. All beggars with hands, feet and strength have recently been quietly taken to the coal mines.
No wonder I walked around Jinyang City for a long time and didn't see many beggars and homeless people. It turned out that they were all taken to the mines on their own initiative.
He didn't feel any sympathy at all. Not to mention those beggars who had hands and feet but were unwilling to rely on labor to obtain money and food. Even among the homeless households, there were indispensable criminals. If they were taken to the mines to dig coal, they would have no choice but to commit suicide.
Accept that you are unlucky.
The loud-mouthed martial arts hero also revealed that because the coal mine business was good, martial arts practitioners like them also benefited from it, and had a lot more work to do in watching venues and training guards. In short, the situation in Jinyang is quite good recently.
Jia Cong talked about these things as a joke when they were chatting at night, and neither he nor Lian Er paid much attention to them.
Even if he cared, there was nothing he could do. Lian Er was not the head of civil affairs in Xishan, let alone the head of the prison. A doctor in the Ministry of Punishment did not have such great power to take charge of things.
Lian Er is not in a hurry to leave. Jinyang officials are still enthusiastic, but they no longer have banquets every day. They probably can't bear it themselves.
However, they obviously don't want Lian Er to roam around in Xishan, and the reason is very good. After all, this place is close to the grassland outside the Great Wall, and there are often small groups of aliens lurking. In addition, the folk customs are tough and it is not very safe...
