Chapter 1134 Geng Zijuan: Who can plan the strategy, but I am General Feng?
Wang Xifeng hesitated for a moment, "Mr. Wang, do you mean you don't have to worry about these things being leaked to the outside world? If I want to look for these people, I can definitely find them, but I am worried that they are not reliable in what they do, and if they are leaked..."
Wang Wenyan laughed and said, "Madam, don't worry too much. In fact, as you said, Jia She can only keep secrets temporarily when dealing with such matters. Ten days and a half is the limit, and I believe this kind of thing can only be done in a month or two." It can’t be done at all, well, it might even take two or three months, so in the end everyone will do their own thing under a tacit understanding..."
Wang Xifeng nodded slightly, agreeing with what Wang Wenyan said.
"Don't you also say that Jia She should do everything he can in the circle around him? He is the eldest son of Duke Rongguo and a first-class general. His contact circle is limited, only thirty or forty people. , no matter how many, they are just sporadic, unless he can put down his face and endure hardship, or he can have the thought and means to find people like you, but I think it will be difficult for him to become big."
Wang Wenyan’s words deeply resonated with Wang Xifeng’s feelings.
"Mr. Wang, you don't have to be limited to just one or two concubines. It doesn't hurt to have more?" Wang Xifeng already had some ideas in her mind.
"Well, there is no benefit in having too much..." Wang Wenyan thought for a moment, "Based on my understanding and analysis, the captured generals in the Beijing Camp this time are mainly divided into several large groups. One category is composed of deputy generals and staff officers. Senior generals such as generals and guerrillas, most of them are important members of the Wuxun family among the four princes, eight princes, twelve princes, and twelve princes. I guess my wife knows it well. The second category is the general generals such as Dusi, Guards, Qianzong, and Bazong. Intermediate generals, most of them are members of the main line of the Four Kings, Eight Dukes, Twelve Lords, or the core or important members of the side branches. The number of these two groups is not large, and they only add up to a hundred or ten people. I estimate that these two types of people Everyone should have the ability to pay ransom..."
"The third category is the low-level military attachés, such as generals, sentry officers and even captains. Most of them are ordinary martial arts disciples other than the Four Kings, Eight Dukes and Twelve Marquises, or they are among the Four Kings, Eight Gongs and Twelve Marquises. For members of the side branch, the ransom amount for these people is actually not high, but their family’s ability to pay may be weaker, so whether they can afford it depends on the situation..."
Wang Xifeng nodded in approval.
"So, I think Madam, you can completely use your own connections to conquer the first and second categories. Of course, it would be better if there are other suitable people to help you. For the third category, you don't have to come forward. You can find one or two capable people to do it, because It will definitely be quite complicated and trivial, and there may also be a lot of wrangling and defaulting in the end, but the advantage is the sheer volume..."
After coming out of Wang Wenyan's place, Wang Xifeng had already started planning the next step on the carriage.
As Wang Wenyan said, this job will not be resolved in ten and a half days. It may even be delayed for two or three months, so don't be too anxious.
For the first type of group, Wang Xifeng can contact the internal family members and Wang Zisheng from the outside. If the second type of group is the internal family members, she can also contact them, but when it comes to external consultations, she is not suitable. She has to choose a suitable one. After thinking about the candidate, she seemed to find no suitable candidate in the entire Rongguo Mansion, but Jia Rong from Ningguo Mansion could be used.
Jia Rong found a way in the palace at the beginning of the year to obtain the status of a Dragon Guard, which can be regarded as an official status. Like his father, he likes to hang out outside and gets very involved with the martial arts disciples in the capital.
However, after the completion of the Grand View Garden, both Rong and Ning Mansion were in trouble. Ning Guo Mansion had a lot of opinions on Rong Guo Mansion, thinking that the Ning Guo Mansion had paid a lot of money but had no profit, especially now that Jia Zheng was about to take over as Jiangxi University The government clearly relied on Yuanchun to become a noble concubine and gain glory, but Ningguo Mansion is now struggling, and it is even difficult to maintain a normal life. Jia Zhen and Jia Rong are very angry.
Jia Zhen and Jia Rong were used to extravagance. If the Rong and Ning families had not jointly made a fortune from the Lai family a few years ago, the Ningguo Mansion would not have been able to survive. But even so, this was a situation where Jia Zhen and Jia Rong were sitting on nothing. Zhen Jiarong was also like an ant on a hot pot, extremely anxious.
A few days ago, Jia Rong came to talk about the matter, hoping that Rongguo Mansion could transfer a sum of money from the public to Ningguo Mansion. The implication was that Ningguo Mansion spent too much on building the Grand View Garden, so it only compensated Jia Rong. An empty-headed dragon captain, and now this dragon captain status cannot be used as money, so I want to borrow three thousand taels of silver from Rongguo Mansion.
But the problem is that now Rongguo is also strapped for money. Even if it can get three thousand taels of silver, it will never be lent to Ningguo Mansion.
No matter how difficult it is for Ningguo Mansion, it is still not to the point where it will close down and sell the house if it lacks these three thousand taels of silver. This is also a temptation.
The father and son Jia Zhen and Ji Rong are even more active in Beijing than Jia She and Wang Zisheng. Of course, due to the decline of the Jia family, the Ningguo Mansion is even worse, so the other four princes and eight princes do not have much dealings with the Ningguo Mansion. But like the Twelve Marquises and some ordinary members of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, Jia Zhenjiarong and his son can still win over them.
As for the third position, Wang Xifeng also has a suitable candidate in mind. I heard that the guy is now acquainted with all kinds of people outside the house, which has completely subverted the previous perception of people inside the house. Even his grandfather is now completely out of his control, and even has no control over it. Go home.
Back in his courtyard, Wang Xifeng was thinking that Jia Rong and Jia Rui could take on these two tasks respectively, but they had not dealt with this kind of affairs very much, and they had to explain it to them.
“Grandma, are you going to see Grandma Rong?” Ping’er was stunned for a moment and then realized, “You mean to ask Brother Rong to help you?”
"Well, my third uncle is not very capable. I guess I can only toss around among the four princes, eight princes and twelve princes. Everyone has to look at my second uncle's face, and I have to do it myself, and the other things have to be done by myself. Let Brother Rong and Jia Rui come."
Wang Xifeng was fully at work at this time, her brows were full of shrewdness and determination, and she no longer had the image of a woman singing gracefully under Feng Ziying.
"Jia Rui?!" Ping'er was shocked, Jia Rong was fine with it, but this Jia Rui completely subverted Ping'er's imagination, "Grandma, can Jia Rui do it? He is..."
"Who is he?" Wang Xifeng sneered: "Don't underestimate this guy. It is said that this guy is now well-known in Silver Hook Casino, Yunding Casino, and Sands Casino. He has lent countless loans. Although the amount is not large, but This should not be underestimated if this is finally settled. The eldest wife and brother both borrowed a lot from him. I originally thought that only Xiuyan and his father were trapped in there and couldn't get out, but I didn't expect that the stupid uncle would also dive in head first. I can't help myself. The day before yesterday, the eldest lady was either still cursing or the stupid uncle came to borrow money. Hum, I see that the Xing family can't get rid of the gambling habit, and they can't move when they see a casino."
Ping'er also heard that Jia Rui is not like before. On the contrary, he rarely appears in the house. He used to take care of some things in the family clan school, but now he has long lost sight of it and hangs around outside all day long. It is estimated that it still has something to do with Uncle Feng.
"But grandma, that Jia Rui is not a good person. If he wants to..."
Ping'er was still a little worried. Jia Rui's last behavior made her feel a little shadowy.
"Hmph, do you need to distinguish good guys from bad guys to do this kind of work? So what if he is a bad guy? As long as he can't do any harm to us, that's fine." Wang Xifeng sneered, "Only when he is evil enough and ruthless can he help me do a good job. If he was an ordinary character, he wouldn't be able to do this job."
“But if he has evil intentions, especially grandma, you also said that he is no more able to go in and out of these gambling houses to make a living without capital than before,...” Ping'er became even more worried.
"Ping'er, why do you think he can come in and out of these gambling houses at will?" Wang Xifeng knew more than Ping'er, and naturally knew why Jia Rui became rich so quickly, "Do you know who is behind these gambling houses? ?”
"Who?" Ping'er's heart tightened, and he suddenly realized something, and said in shock: "Could it be Uncle Feng..."
"That's not the case. How could the Feng family run such a business?" Wang Xifeng shook his head, "It's the business of Ni Er from Zhuanta Hutong in Qianmen. Why did Ni Er become so prosperous in the past two or three years?"
"Grandma said that Slave Ni also knew about it. I heard that he was responsible for transporting the excrement and water in half of the city. The vegetable growers outside the city also relied on him, and he was also responsible for the construction in the streets and alleys. The people under my command are taking care of it, but I didn’t expect…”
Ping'er also knows that even the toilet waste water in Rongning's second mansion is now managed by special personnel. This requires payment of money per household every year. If the payment is less, it will not be enough. He felt that he had to pay too much money and refused to pay. Every now and then, a dung truck would leak excrement at his door. Either the truck was broken down or the dung bucket was leaking. In short, it made the door of Zou's house stink, so he went to file a lawsuit with the government. It's useless. We can't stop this dung truck from breaking down, right? In the end, I can only hand over the money obediently.
“Humph, how could Ni Er become prosperous in such a short period of time if he hadn’t relied on Brother Keng?” Wang Xifeng knew some clues.
The Ministry of Works originally wanted the second master to intervene, but Jia Zheng was a rigid and upright man, and no one paid attention to him. Feng Ziying and the Ministry of Works thought that the doctor had gone to Jiangnan, and instead became Mo Ni. , Ni Er followed Feng Ziying's path, and took the opportunity to become a designated role for the Ministry of Industry and Shuntian Mansion.
