Chapter 1076 Gengzijuan is enjoyable
"…, so the imperial court also intends to redeem all the soldiers from the Beijing Camp?" Jia She and Feng Ziying talked happily, "It should be so. No matter what, the soldiers from the Beijing Camp are serving the imperial court. If the imperial court ignores it, Wouldn’t it chill the hearts of the soldiers?”
It took a lot of effort to have the feeling of being able to guide the country. It is definitely a rare experience for Jia She to discuss such military and national affairs with people like Feng Ziying who have actually participated in the negotiations with the Mongols. He will also be able to become a leader around him in the future. He is the only person who has the most conversational skills, so he naturally wants to ask these details clearly.
"Uncle Shi Shi is right." Feng Ziying clenched her teeth and twisted her mouth in response, "The court must have considered it this way, but if the Mongols ask for too high a price, it would be a bit of a stretch."
Conversing with this guy is boring and you have to agree with him, otherwise if the other person notices it, he will have to show off again and make everyone unhappy.
"Brother Keng, how big a danger do you think the Mongols are now that they have reached Pinggu in Shunyi?" Jia She leaned toward Feng Ziying and pretended to lower his voice, "I heard this on the street The price of food and oil has increased a lot, but the price of shops and houses has plummeted. In the first half of the year, Nanxunfang is not far from the Fourth Translation Hall. You know the Shaojiu Alley is a good place. To the north is Naizifu, and The ceremonial house is a large house covering an area of two acres. Although it is a bit dilapidated, the garden is still there. It is sold for one thousand two hundred and eighty taels,..."
"..., it was always at this price before the Mongols came in, but they didn't sell it, but the seller refused to lower the price. As soon as the Mongols came in, his price dropped to 950 taels. Who would want it at this time? No, before I came to see someone in the next two days and asked if I wanted it, but it only cost 880 taels. I guess I can get even 800 taels, but aren’t I feeling full and exhausted now that I’m selling my house?”
Jia She glanced at Feng Ziying tentatively and observed the changes in his facial expression, "Brother Keng, do you think the Mongols can't break in?"
This guy actually had these ideas, Feng Ziying couldn't stop scolding him.
But it's no wonder, this kind of thing hasn't happened in decades. I'm afraid the people of the capital city are all panic-stricken. Although they don't want to abandon the city, they still find a way to quietly leave the city and run south if the situation is not right. There should be quite a few people who have this idea, especially among the merchants, gentry and middle- and lower-level officials who are not very clear about the current situation. I am afraid there are even more.
Jia She obviously trusted and valued his own opinions and planned to make a fortune from it, but he did not intend to deceive the other party in this matter. It was even a good thing for the other party to take the initiative to buy a house and a shop, which could be regarded as a disguised proof of the court's support for the government. Military trust.
Besides, although the matter of Yingchun is still unclear, unless Jia She dies, in the final analysis, we have to pass this test. Yingchun is not young anymore, so it is estimated that it cannot be delayed for too long. Feng Ziying of the Sun family is They will never allow Yingchun to go. If the Zhongshan wolf goes away, it will be like a sheep entering the wolf's den. Once it goes, it will never come back. It will be a reputation for being a hungry ghost, so accept it.
Having made up his mind, Feng Ziying said calmly: "If the pardoner believes in my nephew, then he can take action boldly. The Mongols are just a storm. My nephew can tell that in one and a half months at most, the Mongols will be killed." If they retreat, they can't spend the winter under the capital city..."
"Oh?" Jia She became more energetic, "Really? Over there in Yongping Mansion..."
"As long as the Inner Khalkha people agree on things with the court, I estimate that they will start to return to the grassland in half a month at most. The Gyeonggi side may delay a little longer, which is a month." Feng Ziying was categorical. , "So now these people in the capital city are scaring themselves. Do you see how many of the emperor and court officials are really flustered? Those who sell shops, houses and antiques are all stupid."
Jia She couldn't help but clapped her legs and was overjoyed.
Antiques were collected in prosperous times, and gold was stored in troubled times. Now that the situation is so tense, it is natural that countless people want to exchange their antiques for gold and silver, and the prices are also very low, just thinking that in the event of war, they can easily run away with gold and silver.
In the past few days, he has also inquired about several deals that are very good deals, which are definitely not available in ordinary times. It is a pity that the stone idiot refuses to sell those fans, which is really annoying.
Of course, Feng Ziying didn't know that Jia She had already followed the direction of the original book and started to pursue the idea of the stone idiot's ancient fans. He just followed the trend and talked about it to see if Jia She had the courage to take a chance.
In fact, this is not even gambling, it is purely about making money based on information asymmetry.
"Seriously?" Jia She's voice trembled a little, "Brother Keng, you can't lie to a fool."
"Okay!" Jia She's face was flushed, and he wished he could go out and do something big immediately. However, he also knew that there was no rush at this moment, not that it would take another month, and he could slowly find a suitable target. "If this matter is If it works, Uncle Yu will definitely thank Brother Keng."
When he said these words, Jia She was also a little moved. It seemed that it would not be unacceptable to give the second girl to Feng Ziying as a concubine.
But he had already received five thousand taels of silver from Sun Shaozu, and then Sun Shaozu came to the door piecemeal and gave away one or two thousand taels of silver. It was absolutely impossible for him to return the silver to the Sun family. If Feng Ziying was willing to do it for herself. Return the money to the Sun family, and use another sum of money to pay for the second girl. It is not impossible for the second girl to be her concubine.
Jia She also felt pity when thinking of this.
This Feng Ziying obviously has a brighter future and more money at home, but the second girl can only be a concubine if she wants to go there. Being a concubine and being a legitimate wife are two different things. A concubine cannot be a family. In the future, she wants to have a private house. The money also depends on the look of the eldest lady. If he expects the second girl to come back and honor her, he won't be able to make much, so it is more appropriate to marry into the Sun family.
However, Jia She's mind changed again. The girl Xiuyan was also pretty and she seemed to be able to do some business.
It is said that Brother Keng has a lustful nature and cannot see beautiful women. Otherwise, the second daughter-in-law would not have given the two sisters Jin Chao'er and Jade Chai'er to Feng Ziying. It was obviously to build a relationship. Even that idiot Xue Pan knew how to give Xiang Chai'er to Feng Ziying. Ling gave it to Brother Keng to please him. If Xiuyan was given to Brother Keng as a concubine, it seemed to make up for the shortcomings of the second girl.
A smile appeared on Jia She's lips, which made Feng Ziying feel a little guilty. Could it be that this guy knew about the affair between herself and Yingchun? It shouldn't be.
Jia She turned his eyes and saw that Jia Zheng seemed to be a little distracted. He had been talking to Feng Ziying for so long, but there was no reaction at all. He was still wandering around, and he couldn't help but frown.
"Second brother, Brother Keng said that the Mongols won't be able to stay under the capital city for long, so you can rest assured. By the way, Ziying, the imperial court originally intended for your uncle, Zhengshi, to be sent to Jiangxi to study politics. We were about to set off at this moment, but we didn’t expect the Mongols to come in, so the matter was delayed..."
Jia She’s words stunned Feng Ziying, “Uncle Zheng Shi is going to be released?”
Jia Zheng then calmed down and briefly introduced the situation.
It seems that Jia Yuanchun still followed his own advice and wanted to move Jia Zheng out of the capital city. This should be a good move to prevent the Jia family from wearing the hat of two princes, but in fact they are extremely weak. Four kings, eight princes and twelve Hou Bao was trapped inside, and he didn't even know what had happened.
Jiangxi's political studies are also pretty good. In Feng Ziying's impression, in the book "Dream of Red Mansions", Jia Zheng was sent to study politics in a province and returned to Beijing a few years ago. However, the Jia family is a rotten tree that cannot be carved. There are people like Jia She and Wang Xifeng who seek death. , coupled with the fact that there is no egg left under the crowd, the entire Wu Xun group was involved in the rebellion of Tiewan Mountain, and eventually its demise was inevitable.
"This is a good thing. The academic administration of a province will be of great help to enhance Uncle Shi's reputation among the scholars. Moreover, Jiangyou has always produced talents and the academic style is flourishing. Uncle Zheng Shi has a humble temperament. When he comes to Jiangyou, he will definitely be able to join the scholars of the academy. If you get along well with each other, you will definitely gain something." Feng Ziying said a series of congratulations.
In fact, Jia Zheng was worried in his heart, but he was also a little happy. Jiangyou has always had a large number of literati and a prosperous literary style. As a scholar who was not born in the imperial examination, he would definitely be subject to some difficulties and criticisms. However, as Feng Ziying said, his own temperament He is humble and gentle, and can hold his own even if he is angry. As long as he survives this term, he will definitely leave a good impression on the scholars, and his reputation will be much better when he returns to Beijing in the future.
Smiling as he stroked his beard, Jia Zheng also said: "This matter has only been decided by the officials, but in the end, the official document must prevail..."
"Haha, there is no need to worry, Uncle Zheng Shi. The officials have agreed and the official document will definitely come out. It just happens to be at this time to take a moment." Feng Ziying said with a smile: "My nephew will definitely not be in Beijing by then. He will only be in Yongzhong. Pingyao wishes Uncle Shi a safe journey and all his wishes will come true. If there is anything you need help from my nephew, please just ask Uncle Shi. I will never refuse if my nephew can do it."
Hearing what Feng Ziying said, Jia Zheng beamed with joy, and he became more and more pleased with Feng Ziying. His thoughts of regret and expectation were also mixed, and his thoughts were running wild for a while.
Feng Ziying has a great reputation among scholars. Although it is Jiangyou over there, Feng Ziying has discussed classics and Taoism with Jiangnan scholars in Qingtan Academy, plus the influence of the Kaihai Strategy, so if she goes Jiang You, mentioning that Feng Ziying is his nephew, can gain some dignity.
For a time, the Rongxi Hall was full of joy, laughter was loud, and the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves. Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan, and Jia Lan also had envious expressions on their faces, and they didn’t know when they would be able to have two masters like this in the future. treat?
