Jia She left happily, leaving behind Feng Ziying who was a little depressed but more secretly happy.
Whether he accepts Xiuyan or not in the future, at least Jia She's psychological fortress has begun to collapse.
Originally, I was a little worried about why Jia She had been avoiding talking about welcoming the Spring Festival. Is it because he didn’t have enough money or because he felt that he couldn’t save his face? But now it seems that the problem is probably more about money.
It's just that he didn't know what the deal was between him and the Sun family, so he was still reluctant. To say that Jia She kept his promise was just a joke. It seemed that Sun Shaozu spent a lot of money on Jia She, but Jia She refused.
The possibility of getting the money back is the highest, but this time I want to make money through my own business, so I came up with this trick to make Li Daitao stiff.
However, Xing Xiuyan is indeed in line with Feng Ziying's thoughts. Not only is he well-educated, calm and elegant in character, but he is also well-informed and expressive. He is considered to be one of the few sensible people in the Rongguo Mansion.
In the book "Dream of Red Mansions", she is married to Xue Biao, but in this life Xue Biao is not satisfied with the ordinary life of a wife and children, and wants to pursue a higher goal. And when her sister makes her a concubine, Xiuyan
This kind of Xiaojia Biyu is obviously not a suitable match for him. Even the second aunt of the Xue family cannot agree, so a sister of a Beijing official who is a Jinshi is suitable.
If Xiuyan can enter her door, no matter which room she is in, it will be suitable. The two elders in the eldest room are not very familiar with household affairs. Shen Yixiu is smart, but she is a big woman and her energy is limited.
, an assistant is definitely needed, and while Eryou and Qingwen are obviously not suitable, Xiuyan is very suitable.
There is no need to go to the second room. Baochai and Baoqin are both smart and capable, especially Xue Baoqin, but Daiyu is more suitable. Daiyu will definitely not be a good housekeeper in the future, but she just met Miaoyu, who is more suitable.
It's unreliable. These three houses all lack a helper, and Xiuyan is undoubtedly the most suitable.
Following the wonderful fantasy for a while, Feng Ziying shook her head in a silly way. She seemed to have entered the season of fantasy. Spring is coming?
Jia She just painted a big cake for himself, not to mention the thoughts of Xing Zhong and his wife, and Xiu Yan himself may not be willing. Moreover, Jia She also said that it might be best to follow Daiyu's marriage, which would have to be done.
He left two years later, but can the matter of redeeming people be delayed for one or two years?
So this is a cake drawn for myself. Let yourself take care of the matter of redeeming people first, so that he can fulfill his promise.
Of course, Feng Ziying does not doubt that Jia She does have this intention. After all, it is not his wish to deceive himself. He also thinks highly of himself. As long as his career is prosperous, he will certainly work hard to promote this marriage. This is also in line with his
In terms of interests, if Xiuyan is favored by him in the future, he will also have many ways to do so.
“Mr. sir, what do you say?” Shen Yixiu asked curiously when he saw Feng Ziying entering the room with a calm expression.
Qingwen also tightened her sweat towel. Although it was a joke, Feng Ziying agreed to find a family for her, but the other thing was like a chain that held her heart, that is, she wanted to have children for her father.
"Well, how should I put it? I think the bet that Qingwen and I made is in line. Of course I want to find Qingwen's parents, but Qingwen also has to give birth to a pair of children for me." Feng Ziying laughed happily. typical.
Qingwen slightly tilted her head and spat.
Shen Yixiu was quite happy, "Oh, your husband means that Mr. Jia's visit is not entirely to cause trouble for your husband?"
"It's a win-win situation." Feng Ziying briefly introduced the situation, "Uncle Shi wants to make money from it, and I also want to fulfill the agreement with the Neikha people as soon as possible, otherwise the Nei Kharka people will I feel that I am not sincere and it will be difficult for us to cooperate in the future."
Qingwen pouted, "After all, Mr. She wants to make money with my hands. What I said is just to cover up for Mr. She."
"It's too narrow..." Feng Ziying shook her head, "Except for the two hundred thousand taels of silver for the soldiers, the remaining generals and assistants have a business worth at least one to two million taels of silver. I guess the emperor is definitely not willing to pay for it, or even pay for it." I can’t afford it, and the court will definitely object, so I gave Zaisai a thought about this matter. If it completely fails, it is hard to say whether Zaisai will turn his back and commit murder, but he and the five internal Khalkhas It is inevitable that the Horqin people's prestige will be greatly reduced. There are nearly 10,000 casualties. Such an arduous trip, but failed to get enough rewards. The leader's status will definitely be challenged or even overturned. This is the law of survival on the grassland. ,…”
"My husband is right. The loss of power in Zaisai and the instability of the five inner Khalkha tribes are not in the interests of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They are also detrimental to my husband. In the future, my husband's strategy of using Yongping Mansion to connect the grasslands of Eastern Mongolia will be difficult. It failed, and my father-in-law will also lack a helper in Liaodong." Shen Yixiu nodded, her vision was much higher than Qingwen's.
Feng Ziying glanced at her approvingly, "Having a good wife in the family is like having a treasure. After this battle, I expect the power of the Chahar people to decline somewhat, but the Jurchens in Jianzhou kidnapped tens of thousands of millions from Fushun." After the surname, the strength will further expand, and the Horqin and Donghai Jurchens are also gradually losing their loyalty to Nurhachi. Although I hope to use the Yehe tribe and the five inner Khalkha tribes to curb this momentum, whether I can achieve my goal is unclear. It can be said that the geographical advantage of the Jianzhou Jurchens is so obvious, especially after the Ula tribe moved to the Yehe tribe, in fact, the choke point that originally blocked the Jianzhou Jurchens and the Donghai Jurchens has been opened."
“Then why did your husband suggest to your father-in-law that the Ula tribe should be moved to Yehe tribe to make way for the choke point?” Shen Yixiu knew that her husband had written such a suggestion to his father-in-law.
"The Ula Tribe was weakened too much before, and its leader Bu Zhantai was also beaten by Nurhachi and suffered a psychological shadow. If he persists, even with the support of the Ye He Tribe and Liaodong, he will not be able to escape the result of being annexed by Nurhachi, and I'm worried that Nurhachi will use the method of encircling the points to send reinforcements to weaken the Yehe tribe. Once the Yehe tribe is wiped out, it will be more difficult for the Zhou Dynasty to persist in Liaodong."
Shen Yixiu generally understood Feng Ziying's explanation. She didn't understand military affairs, but her husband had never failed in any aspect since his debut. Even when his father-in-law failed in the battle of Fushun, the husband also said that he did not expect Li Yongfang. Just people.
Since the husband is not in Liaodong, he naturally does not understand so many generals in Liaodong Town. Naturally, such things cannot be blamed on the husband.
“My husband has planned the strategy and won the battle thousands of miles away. I admire him.” Shen Yixiu smiled and teased her husband.
"Haha, if others say it, I will accept it as my husband, but if Wan Jun says it, I will do my duty as my husband." Feng Ziying made a twist in the last half of her sentence, which made Shen Yixiu, Qingwen and Yun Shang all present laugh. .
******
Ye Xianggao looked at the thick stack of documents piled in front of him with a sullen face, stretched out his hand to press it, and finally sighed.
“Er Zhang, Daofu, the Mongols are retreating, but Miyun, Huairou, Changping, Shunyi, and Pinggu have almost all turned into a white field. This winter and next spring, there will be nearly a million displaced people. What should we do?”
Li Tingji and Li Sancai exchanged glances, "Master Chief Assistant, what did Zhong Han say?"
Zheng Jizhi has applied for official appointment. He is over 70 years old, and his health is indeed a bit too much. The cabinet is also planning to make a round of adjustments to the entire six departments. There is a vacancy in the Ministry of Household Affairs, so naturally countless people are keeping an eye on it.
Even if it is certain that Jiangnan scholars will take over, there are still factions in politics among the Jiangnan scholars. For example, although Fang Congzhe is the second assistant, he is the representative of Zhejiang scholars. He has a close relationship with the Nanzhili scholars, and Ye Xiang Gao and Li Tingji were representatives of Fujian scholars, and they had closer relations with Jiangyou (Jiangxi).
With the evacuation of the Mongols, half of Shuntian Prefecture in the north was reduced to northern land, and countless people and goods were taken away. More importantly, this season lasts until the next spring. It may become a nightmare for the capital city in a few months.
Even if some of the hundreds of thousands of refugees can be persuaded to return, many of them are already extremely poor, with no land and no land, and their houses are in ruins. Now that the Mongols are invading the south and fleeing south, the life of going back will be even more difficult, so naturally they will not be willing to go back.
Already.
The relief and public security pressure on Shuntian Prefecture this winter and next spring is huge. A little carelessness will trigger civil unrest. This is in the Gyeonggi region, not as far away as Linqing, and the impact cannot be underestimated.
As the war in the southwest began, money like water flowed southwards. The household department was now empty. Shuntian Prefecture wrote three times a day to request edicts, asking for the opening of warehouses to provide food relief and to encourage people to return to their hometowns. The same was true for everyone in the imperial court.
Sitting in the city of sleepiness and sorrow.
"What Zhong Han means is that Brother Boxiao should stay in office until next summer, after the tax revenue is raised. The counterinsurgency in the southwest and the relief of Shuntian Mansion are both difficult matters that require careful planning. It is really inappropriate to change people at this time." Ye Xianggao also said.
He said softly with a stern face.
"I think it's okay." Li Sancai was the first to express his opinion. "It doesn't matter even if it's later. I'm worried that the war in the southwest will be delayed and may not end as quickly as we expected."
Li Tingji frowned, "Daofu, you can't solve it in a year? The Ningxia rebellion was so powerful, and it was collusion between internal and external parties, and it was completely eradicated in less than a year. How can a bunch of chieftains sitting in a well and watching the sky be better than the Ningxia rebels?"
More difficult to deal with?"
"It is said that Fujian is very mountainous, but the mountains in Sichuan and Guizhou are probably more steep than Fujian, and the climate is also more complex and changeable than Fujian. The land is not three feet flat, the sky is not sunny for three days, and the people are not worth three cents of silver.
That is to say, the battle over there is not entirely about fighting for soldiers, but more about whether the logistics and food can keep up."
Li Sancai still has some knowledge. He served as the Governor of Water Transport for several years, and he barely knows the military. He knows that the most important part of leading troops in war is to go first with food and fodder. But in Bozhou, can the logistics of food and fodder follow?
