Honglou, I became Jia Lian?Fortunately, there is a system!

Chapter 233 The Xue Family Arrives!

The Supreme Emperor chatted with Jia Lian for a while, and then asked angrily:

"What does Jia Qing think of Annan?"

Jia Lian raised his head and glanced at the Supreme Emperor, and replied: "Annan is rich in produce, three times a year, and rich in spices. It is indeed a rare treasure."

"Oh? Then Jia Qing, what do you think if the royal family occupies this place?"

"Of course this is a good thing. The land of Annan is close to Daqing. If it can be controlled by the imperial court, it will be a good thing. However, His Majesty still needs to pay attention to the means of dealing with the people of Annan. The past is close at hand, so we must guard against it. "

"Jia Qing might as well speak up."

"Hey, like Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty, he treated the people of Annan as if they were the people of Daqing, and it would be extremely difficult to bring them back.

I don't know if Your Majesty has heard how those Westerners governed the local people in Tianzhu, Batavia, Forou and Luzon. "

The Supreme Emperor pondered for a while: "It's not that I don't know, but if I act like this, I'm afraid those ministers in the court will start to argue again."

"The so-called using barbarians to control barbarians, if you want to govern the barbarians well, you must use barbarian policies, and you must treat them differently from our own people. Otherwise, even if the imperial court occupies Annan, the withdrawal of Annan by Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty will be repeated in our dynasty. .”

"Must it be?"

"It must be so!"

In fact, it is not necessary to rule Annan with a policy similar to colonialism, but it is undeniable that this is the most labor-saving and fastest way to completely incorporate the land of Annan into the territory of Daqing.

Only a generation or two at most...

Obviously, the current Annan United Army headed by Yizhong County King still governs the occupied areas by tacitly acquiescing to Daqing's domestic laws and regulations.

They did not fully consider the local national conditions, at least they did not try to win over and use the strength of the local people to fight against Annan's original two royal families surnamed Ruan.

The reason why they lost the battle this time is said to be because the two surnames Ruan started a deep cooperation...

From the current situation, if there is no follow-up external force to intervene, after the Annan royal family is completely united, I am afraid that it is really possible to form a confrontation with the Annan United Army of Yizhong County King.

Although the Annan United Army in Daqing did gain a lot of benefits in Annan in the early stage and occupied a large area of ​​fertile land, if these lands cannot form a stable environment for people to cultivate with peace of mind, their value will be greatly reduced.

At least it is a question mark whether the big families who have had a round stomach behind Yizhong County King will continue to invest more.

The Supreme Emperor obviously also understood that Emperor Baode, the power in Daqing's country, was obviously unwilling to give more to Yizhong County King.

Then, there are not many forces that can break the situation in Annan and are willing to break the situation for it.

The Supreme Emperor came to Jia Lian today, obviously hoping that he would make a move, and Jia Lian's meaning was very clear.

That is, compared to a royal family prince occupying Annan, it is better to let the Daqing court occupy Annan, after all, it is too close to the mainland.

How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch!
Unless the Daqing Chaotang personally controlled this land, it would not be appropriate for any other family or prince to occupy the land of Annan.

All are likely to plant disasters for future generations in the not-too-distant future, resulting in civil war.

As for Yizhong County King, he may say that he first defeated Annan, and after developing and accumulating strength for a period of time, he has enough strength to expand outwards before returning Annan to the court or something.

Jia Lian even suspected that the reason why this righteous loyalty was able to get the support of the Supreme Emperor, and even allowed the Supreme Emperor to come forward to find out Jia Lian's wishes, was to use such a statement.

The Supreme Emperor pondered for a long time again, Jia Lian was not in a hurry, and slowly sipped the tea in the Longshou Palace, just at this time Emperor Baode came.

After the announcement, the Supreme Emperor asked him to come in, Jia Lian also got up and waited for Emperor Baode to greet the Supreme Emperor, and then saluted Emperor Baode.

"Jia Qing is free."

When he was seated again, he heard Emperor Baode greet the Taishanghuang's body, but saw the Taishanghuang wave his hand.

"The emperor has a heart. I'm fine. You came just in time. Jia Qing and I are talking about Annan."

"Oh? Annan? Isn't the Yizhong leader attacking over there? Why, something went wrong?"

Jia Lian rolled his eyes at Emperor Baode, who had a pure and innocent face. Would he not know that King Yizhong suffered a defeat in Annan?

Obviously impossible, I'm afraid this is a veiled expression of dissatisfaction with the Supreme Emperor.

I saw that the Supreme Emperor gave Emperor Baode a faint look, but he was not angry.

"Annan suffered a small defeat for the time being, but this has nothing to do with today's discussion. What I discussed with Jia Qing just now is whether to directly include Annan in the territory of the Daqing Dynasty."

"Oh?"

Emperor Baode twitched when he heard the words, glanced at the Supreme Emperor quietly, and then looked at Jia Lian.

Jia Lian nodded calmly: "Although the policy of opening the sea is what I wish, but the so-called side of the couch, how can we allow others to sleep soundly.

The minister thinks that the land of Annan is too close to my land of Daqing after all, and future generations will inevitably have disputes, so it is better to directly bring it under the jurisdiction of Daqing. "

"Well~ Jia Qing is indeed a model of my Daqing's honorable minister, and she always considers my Daqing. It's just that this land of Annan is really difficult to control."

"Just now the Supreme Emperor was also worried about this, so I suggest that you should learn how the Westerners treat the barbarians' colonization strategy!"

"Colonial strategy?"

"Your Majesty, it's just like this...so..."

"Will this... be a little too much? The ministers of the court and China are afraid..."

"Your Majesty, what Emperor Yongle and Emperor Xuan of the previous Ming Dynasty failed to do, if you accomplish it in your hands, it will be more than enough to expand the territory and make a name in history!

As for those ministers, as long as they can firmly implement this colonial policy, it doesn't matter if they select more people from their families to serve as officials in the land of Annan! "

The reason why the civil servants were arguing was because they were worried that after the capture of Annan, all the benefits would go to the generals, and it might cause the rapid expansion of the military power?
Then let the rain and the dew fall, and send more officials from civil servants to Annan to implement the colonial policy, so that they can also get some benefits.

Emperor Baode thought for a while, and felt that it was generally feasible, but he still said to the Supreme Emperor:
"Father, at this time, the small part of Annan's land has been occupied by that child Yizhong, will the court take action at this time..."

If the Daqing Dynasty decides to change its strategy towards Annan, the King Yizhong really needs to make some adjustments, so naturally it is better for the Supreme Emperor to come forward.

"Well, I will trust Yizhong, but the emperor! Yizhong is your eldest nephew after all, so don't treat him lightly~"

"My son understands, and my father is at ease. After the imperial court takes down Annan, it can give Yizhong 30 years. After 30 years, the imperial court will gradually take back the small half of Anneng's territory that Yizhong is currently occupying."

Seeing that the father and son settled Annan's future situation while talking, Jia Lian just smiled lightly and did not speak.

Those countries in the West have obviously been mobilizing their forces to attack the Far East in recent years. It is best to keep the power of the [Jia Lian Legion] at rest, and it is reasonable to reserve it to deal with the Western countries.

Besides, Daqing's army hasn't fought a major battle for decades, so it would be a good thing for them to practice with Annan.

Then there was the interaction of interests between Emperor Baode himself, King Yizhong, civil servants, and various forces in the military. Jia Lian had no need to intervene, so he left when the two emperors were about to convene ministers for a discussion.

This time the Supreme Emperor did not keep him. Although Jia Lian did not help Yizhong County King as he wished, he did give a feasible suggestion to solve Annan.

In fact, if the King of Yizhong County occupied Annan, whether he would give the Land of Safety to Daqing as promised in the future, the Supreme Emperor had no hope from the beginning.

After all, he himself came from such an ambitious age, how could he not be clear about the thoughts of Duke Yizhong.

He just hoped that his grandson, who was in the same direct line, would have a chance to get rid of his tragic fate, and wanted to finish this matter before he reached the stage of exhaustion.

Let Yizhong County King have some strength to protect himself...

After that, Jia Lian ignored how the father and son discussed in the palace, because he had other things to do.

After Ziwei gave up, Aunt Xue of the Xue family took a pair of children in Jinling. After the New Year's Eve, she got a reply from her sister, Jia Wang, and began to prepare for the itinerary.

After several months of trekking, I finally arrived at Shenjing City in mid-April.

On this day, the West Road Courtyard of Rongguo Mansion suddenly became lively. Mrs. Wang got the news that Aunt Xue and her two children had arrived outside the gate of Rongguo Mansion.

Immediately overjoyed, he led his daughter-in-law Li Wan and a group of maids and women out to welcome Aunt Xue and her family in.

When the sisters met in their later years, there was a burst of sorrow and joy, and there was a lot of weeping and laughing.

After Wang's mood calmed down a bit, she hurriedly led Aunt Xue and her two children to visit the old lady Jia Mu in Rongqingtang, and offered all kinds of favors and property.

The old lady of Rongqingtang had received the news a long time ago, seeing that it was a relative who had come, she naturally treated her enthusiastically, and when the co-furniture staff saw her, she began to make arrangements for the reception.

Taking advantage of this time, Xue Pan went back to the West Road Courtyard to visit Jia Zheng after showing up in Rongqing Hall, and was led by his uncle Jia Zheng to visit Jia Zhen in the East Mansion.

Jia Zheng should not have been involved in receiving Xue Pan in this way, but his son Jia Zhu died early and Baoyu was too young.In addition, Jia Zheng has become used to running errands for Jia Lian recently, so he did it naturally.

This made Xue Pan a little flattered, he has turned sixteen this year, so naturally he has no reason to be squeezed next to a bunch of women and children in Rongqing Hall.

So he sat obediently next to Jia Zheng, and finally Jia Zheng set up a table in the West Road Courtyard and invited Jia Zhen and Jia Lian to the banquet.

Jia Amnesty went overseas to Southeast Asia and was not at home, so naturally there was nothing wrong with him.

At this time, Xue Pan looked like a chubby, pink and tender little man, but there was a faint hostility between his brows.

In front of everyone in Jia's house, he never showed arrogance or anything.

Especially after feeling his uncle Jia Zheng's respectful attitude towards Jia Lian, Xue Pan had a general understanding of Jia Lian's status as the head of the Rongguo Mansion who was not a few years older than himself but inherited the title of the Duke of the Kingdom. impression.

At the same time, he saw that Jia Lian seemed to have a gentle attitude and was extremely handsome, and he also felt that he had to spend more time trying to please this old man in the future.

It would be best if he could be freed from the discipline of his uncle Jia Zheng...

But he didn't want to, after Jia Lian looked Xue Pan up and down, he suddenly said:
"I've already sent people to investigate Wenlong's lawsuit in Jinling, and it's not all Wenlong's fault, the man surnamed Feng is older than Wenlong.

But Wen Long beat him to death after all, and paying the tens of thousands of taels of silver should be regarded as a lesson, but this matter is not worth the gain after all, Wen Long, you should think more about what you do in the future. "

Speaking of which, Feng Yuan was really unlucky, the fuse Xiangling never appeared in Jinling, and this guy died in the hands of Xue Pan.

The reason was also for a servant girl, but this time it was a little different because that servant girl and Ren Yazi were in the same group.

After defrauding the two parties of their money, the two packed up and ran away together, leaving Feng Yuan and Xue Pan in a very bad mood.

Then the two clashed again because of their quarrel, and Xue Pan led someone to beat Feng Yuan to death...

Fortunately, the person who judged the case this time was not Jia Yucun with ulterior motives, and the current momentum of Rongguo Mansion is far from comparable to the original timeline.

After Jia Zheng sent a letter, although the prefect of Jinling favored Xue Pan, he still made the Xue family pay enough money, a full 5 taels of silver to settle the matter.

The Xue family has been an imperial merchant for many generations, and these tens of thousands of taels of silver can save the only male in his direct line, so there is nothing wrong with it, and he will pay the money immediately.

The Feng family originally wanted to make another fuss, after all, the Xue family gave the money too happily, maybe they could make another fortune.

But the magistrate was also straightforward, invited the head of the Feng family to the back office, and then directly took out the letter from the second master Jia Zheng and Jia of the Rongguo Mansion, and said in one sentence:

Is this Liang Zifeng's family sure they want to continue fighting?

Seeing Jia Zheng's letter, the Feng family, which is just a local wealthy family, naturally chose to calm down. After all, a family's children exchanged 5 taels of silver, and it was considered face-saving...

"Hey, second brother Lian, you are right. My younger brother is young and has a quick temper. He must learn his lesson from now on..."

"Well...Second Uncle, Wen Long and Aunt Xue have no one to take care of their orphans and widowed mothers, why don't we invite their family to live in our house?"

Originally, Jia Zheng should have said this, but Jia Lian was worried that Jia Zheng would not be able to speak because he was the head of the Rongguo Mansion, so he took the initiative to ask Jia Zheng tentatively.

This was because Jia Zheng didn't choose to keep the guests because of his face, which caused sister Xue to fly away.

But he didn't want to say such words, so that Xue Pan on the side was secretly moved. Sure enough, relatives are relatives, and this second brother Lian who has never met is also a good person!

It's just that deep down in his heart, he doesn't really want to live in Rongguo Mansion. After all, he has an extra uncle and more restraint...

But before Xue Pan could think of a way to refuse, Jia Zheng agreed, "It's still Lian'er who is thoughtful, but the details will be discussed later by the concubine and the sisters themselves."

Jia Lian nodded, not talking too much about it, but just having a drink and laughing with everyone.

Jia Zheng sent people to Rongqing Hall and said to Mrs. Wang: "My concubine is already old, and my nephew is young and doesn't know the way of life. If I live outside, I am afraid that something will happen to me. Why don't I invite my concubine's family to live in our house..."

　We have set up a button group, everyone is welcome to join the group!
