Chapter 165: Letter from Jia Xu

Updated: 2013-02-14

Li Ru shook his head and said, "Now that Jia Rong has occupied Jincheng, the lord should not fight against the rebels. Just guarding Longguan is a great achievement. Even if Jia Rong conquers Jincheng, the court will not have too many rewards, and there is not even any reward."

Li Ru's real purpose is the same as Jia Rong. He wants to maintain a balance and develop his own strength. Li Ru saw it far and felt that the soon-to-be-Han would change, and the most important thing in the troubled times is strength.

Dong Zhuo immediately ordered that the three armies remained unmoved and guarded Longguan to avoid being taken advantage of by the rebels. The news that Jia Rong captured Jincheng County was like wings spreading in Longguan. Guo Si and Hua Xiong were also given great contributions in nothing and helped Jia Rong seize Jincheng. Such contributions were enough to give his subordinates an explanation.

Let’s talk about Han Sui leading a large army to attack Hanyang County. The Hanyang prefect asked Dong Zhuo in Longguan for help. Did Dong Zhuo refuse to send troops to rescue on the grounds that the army was short of military strength? It was too late to ask Jia Rong who was far away in Jincheng.

Hanyang is much easier to attack than Pingxiang, who was guarding Jia Rong. Hanyang's prefect defending city was too old-fashioned, and the troops in the city were very limited. Finally, half a month later, the rebels led by Han Sui came to attack the city with an internal and external force. When Han Sui raised his army, only more than 20,000 troops were left, and his strength was greatly reduced.

Jia Rong, Han Sui and Dong Zhuo remained silent and maintained a delicate balance.

The wheat has matured, and Jia Rong attaches great importance to this harvest season. The garrisons of each county have received a military order to help the people harvest grain and farm. This is what the Xiliang Army has done in Beidi County. Let it go naturally. However, in the eyes of the people of each county, the weight of the Xiliang Army has increased a lot. Those officials who usually claim to be loyal ministers are not as good as these big-headed soldiers. At least they are doing practical things.

In the past, officials always thought about how to exploit them, and there were few good officials who truly considered the people. The actions of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army made the people look forward to Jia Rong, the prefect of Jincheng County, while being grateful.

After half a month of cultivation, Jia Rong's gunshot wounds healed a lot, and he also contacted Zhang Li and Su Shuang from Beidi County. Zhang Li said that he was preparing to move all the things in Lingzhou to Jincheng, and officials from the other four counties were also coming, but now Jincheng has a significantly heavier weight in Jia Rong's heart.

Jia Rong was shocked by this result. If Zhang Li did this, the Beidi County would inevitably cause a short-term hollow. During this period, Zhang Li asked Jia Rong that many people hoped to come with the army. In response, Jia Rong agreed with both hands and gave generous treatment to the people who came to Jincheng.

Along with the imperial edict, there was also a document from the court asking for food and grass. Jia Rong refused without thinking. At this time, Jincheng County was in the process of post-war reconstruction, and he really didn't understand what those people in the court thought. Where did Jincheng County get the food and grass to donate the national treasury? In the past, the court allocated money to the border counties. This situation is rare.

At this moment, the soldiers came to report that someone had sent a letter in front of the prefect's mansion, saying that they had to open it by Jia Rong himself.

Upon hearing this, Jia Rong asked the soldiers to lead the way to the door. The person who came was a very ordinary citizen who would not pay attention to him when he was placed in the crowd.

"I am Jia Rong, the prefect of Jincheng County. I wonder what this brother is important to me?" Jia Rong's biggest advantage is that he is good at bringing close relationships with strangers. What does this common man feel when he says "Brother"?

The man bowed to Jia Rong and said excitedly: "Caomin's surname is Li, a small businessman. He was entrusted by a scholar named Jia a few days ago to hand the letter to Lord Jia, who was expected to be a fellow disciple of Lord Jia."

"Submitted to Jia?" Jia Rong immediately thought that it was Jia Xu, and immediately welcomed the businessman named Li to the mansion.

After sitting down, Jia Rong opened the letter, read it carefully, pondered for a long time, and nodded slowly.

"If you go back and see the man from my sect, you will say I have already recorded it!" Since the merchant said that, Jia Rong did not want to reveal his relationship with Jia Xu.

The businessman surnamed Li nodded and said, "The grass-roots will definitely convey it."

"What business are you doing?" Jia Rong remembered that the man in front of him was still a businessman.

The businessman surnamed Li said, "The Caomin is doing business such as rouge and water powder, and he can barely make a living. However, there have been wars in Hanyang, Jincheng, and business is becoming increasingly difficult to do."

Jia Rong smiled and said, "Jincheng County has settled down. You can do business in the city with confidence. If you need any help, please tell the government people that they will help you."

The businessman surnamed Li said gratefully: "Thank you sir!" The businessman is at the bottom of this society and has always regarded being able to receive the government as the greatest honor. Jia Rong said this enough face to give this little businessman, so that he would have more capital to show off after he went out.

After the merchant surnamed Li left, Jia Rong immediately came to the Xiaohuangmen where the order was sent. Xiaohuangmen ate well and had a special person to accompany him. His face was flushed. Jia Rong understood the weight of Xiaohuangmen. He said that it was sent to the order, but in fact it was the most important eyeliner that the Han Emperor valued. It seemed that the little yellowmen would eat wherever he went. Could it be that the Han Emperor would not ask him when he went back, and the performance of officials from all over the place would be conveyed to the Han Emperor through the mouth of Xiaohuangmen. At that time, only a few words of Xiaohuangmen would be better than anything else. After all, the Han Emperor could only read memorials every day to understand the situation of the ministers, and he still attached great importance to what the Huangmen saw with his own eyes.

"Have you lived in Jincheng County recently?" Jia Rong asked cordially.

Xiao Huangmen pursed his lips and said, "It's okay, but the food is not as good as that of Beijing."

Resisting the urge to go up and kick him, Jia Rong smiled and said, "The barren land is not as prosperous as the capital. Please forgive me for the negligence!"

Xiao Huangmen smiled and said, "Mr. Jia is out."

Jia Rong clapped his hands and a soldier brought a small box.

There were neat gold placed in the box. After the little yellow door opened, I felt shocked. It was the first time he saw so much money, let alone the neat box placed in a neat box, which gave people a great visual conflict. In fact, there was not much such a small box, but the little yellow door usually had little oil and water. The first time I went out to spread the imperial edict, the little yellow door was the lowest position in the palace, which was equivalent to a slave of a large family. It was also the little yellow door who was lucky and was sent to pass the imperial edict.

Looking at the greed in Xiaohuangmen's eyes, Jia Rong smiled and said, "Mr. Fan will take it. Let Lord Fan work hard all the way from the capital to Jincheng. This little money is just a little money for drinking and drinking. Please accept it with a smile."

Xiao Huangmen closed the box directly and hugged it in his arms, saying, "After returning home, the family must give him more good words to the Lord."

Jia Rong nodded with satisfaction, and what he wanted was the sentence from Xiaohuangmen.

"After Lord Fan returned, he told the emperor that Jincheng County has been in war and people's livelihood has declined. Even so, I will work hard to prepare food and grass. Please rest assured that I will write a book tomorrow and take it away by Lord Fan."

"Don't worry, Lord Jia, you must bring your words to the zodiac. Lord Jia's loyal zodiac will definitely report to the emperor according to the truth." Xiaohuangmen said confidently.

After the Xiaohuangmen left, Jia Rong put away his warm face. As expected, the letter was indeed written by Jia Xu. The content was very clear. He would secretly develop his strength and not do anything against the court. Even if the court demands excessively, he should temporarily agree and try to make the court feel at ease with him. Although the Han Han has shown a scene of old age, the hundred-legged insect will die without being stiff, the Han Han in front of him is not something that anyone can deal with.

Jia Xu also guessed that the Han Emperor might make things difficult for Jia Rong in some aspects, so he risked the risk of exposing his identity and wrote a letter to dissuade him.

Jia Rong attached great importance to Jia Xu's words, and instantly understood why Emperor Han asked Xiaohuangmen to send a message to him to prepare food and grass. The reason was that Emperor Han wanted to test his loyalty. Jia Rong was ashamed. He didn't see this little trick and almost missed the big thing.

This year, the weather was good, and many places in the Han Dynasty had good harvests, which also allowed the war-torn man to take a breath, and the harvest in Jincheng County was also very good.

He has already contacted Mi Zhu, and soon Mi Zhu will escort a batch of grain to come.

Mi Zhu really helped him a lot. Although he was suspected of coveting the war horses of the Xiliang army, he always helped him unswervingly during the war. Part of the reason may be that Mi Wei was also in the Xiliang army. Jia Rong planned to give Mi Zhu a batch of soap so that he could also make some profits. Not only Mi Zhu, but also let the merchants of the entire Han Dynasty make some profits, and they can't play monopoly. They should take appropriate care of the feelings of other merchants. However, Jin Airong does not have such good intentions to give benefits to other merchants, but they also want to make benefits from Jincheng.

Not long after he had just conquered Jincheng County, Jia Rong posted another notice, building a craftsman workshop in Jincheng, and a group of blacksmiths from Lingzhou could immediately start working. This period of time has delayed the business of Xianlian Pavilion. Every Xianlian Pavilion uses entirely the previous inventory. When Lingzhou craftsman workshop was preparing to move, it informed Xianlian Pavilion in various places.

Each craftsman costs twenty yuan a day, and the people who help the people ten yuan. A meal at noon was sent by the prefect's house and the notice was posted, but it did not achieve much effect. It was mainly because Jia Rong, the prefect, had just arrived and the people were not familiar with him. The officials before the blank checks were issued too many, so it would not work when they arrived at Jia Rong.

In desperation, Jia Rong had to draw some soldiers to help build a new craftsman workshop.

Jia Rong settled the daily wages immediately. Gradually, more and more people joined the construction of craftsmen's workshops, so that the people from the surrounding counties came to work tirelessly. Thinking of these people still flocking to the low wages.
