Chapter 392
Emperor Yonglong had already considered this point, and Chai Ke also mentioned it in the memorial.

Nine side food and payment is undoubtedly the most important. If the amount of money is not too large, I am afraid that the court will be more stable. If it exceeds the imagination of some people, it may cause disputes.

But regarding the amount mentioned by Feng Ziying just now, Emperor Yonglong roughly estimated that the franchise fee would be around 300 million taels of silver, which was a bit beyond expectation.

Although the imperial court owed Jiubian a lot of food and salaries, but if they want to make up for Jiubian's food and salaries at once, the general soldiers of Jiubian probably would not dare to think that way.

This is just a franchise fee, and Emperor Yonglong was not sure how much he could borrow from the merchants as a mortgage for the proceeds of the sea tax, but he estimated that there should be 200 million silver, but he could mortgage the sea tax for a few years, which was in his heart. No bottom.

As Feng Ziying said, this may require an investigation before making an estimate.

The conversation between Emperor Yonglong and Feng Ziying continued until the time of Xu. Emperor Yonglong even passed on a banquet, allowing Feng Ziying to enjoy a simple imperial meal in the palace, which also made Feng Ziying a little flattered.

At least a group of servants were shocked and inexplicable. They had the impression that the elder Ge and the six ministers were rarely left by the emperor for so long, and they were even given food.

The reason why it has been discussed for so long is also because it needs to be considered that once Kaihai borrowing starts, it will require a group of people with prestige, drive and experience to operate it, and at the same time, various unexpected factors must also be taken into account.

It should be said that Emperor Yonglong attached great importance to this matter and fully predicted possible problems. This has a lot to do with Emperor Yonglong's cautious style, but it is very necessary in this matter.

Feng Ziying specifically reminded that it is necessary to comprehensively balance the interests and attitudes of all parties when it comes to smuggling issues related to Liaodong and the coastal areas of Fujian and Zhejiang.

This also reminded Emperor Yonglong that if there is no support from the army, he may not only encounter some resistance, but may even encounter many problems and troubles after opening the sea. It's obedient and perfunctory.

It was Haishi when Feng Ziying returned home.

Since it took three hours to enter the palace, it also made everyone in the palace uneasy.

There are also countless people paying attention to Feng Ziying's entering the palace this time.

Feng Ziying had already met the two chief and second assistants of the cabinet, and Zhang Jingqiu, Minister of the Ministry of War, and the rest was the emperor.

Many well-informed people have a rough idea of ​​the mission that Feng Ziying will undertake when she comes back, but before the official unveiling, everyone is still standing still, waiting for that moment to come.

For the next thing, Feng Ziying knows that she will not have much time to participate in the public face, but the following parties will still be drawn to understand and refer to inquiries, and may even be busier than before.

After Emperor Yonglong discussed with the two elders and some other important ministers and got to know their attitudes, they will start to enter into the formal political discussion procedure.

The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War will propose strategies and submit them to the cabinet for discussion, and then the cabinet will come up with opinions and submit them to the emperor. If the emperor approves, it may be directly approved by the emperor. If it feels inappropriate, it may be retained. Another possibility is If the matter is important, or if the controversy is relatively large, it may be directly brought to the court meeting for discussion and discussion by the officials.

After returning to the mansion, Feng Ziying collapsed on the bed.

You're too tired. Apart from answering all kinds of inquiries from Emperor Yonglong, the key is that you must not lose your manners. Sitting stiffly on that brocade stool like that is really uncomfortable.

How can there be such enjoyment lying on the bed and letting the two sisters Jin Chuan'er and Yu Chuan'er massage for me from shoulder, neck to waist and legs.

"Master, you are going to the Rongguo Mansion tomorrow. Second Master Lian and Second Master Bao both made a special trip to the mansion this afternoon and told you again." Jin Chuan'er's bright yellow beanie paired with grass green long Her skirt was slightly rolled up, and she knelt down on Feng Ziying's back and massaged vigorously, while Yu Chuan'er crouched under Feng Ziying's feet, rubbing Feng Ziying's calf delicately.

The nanmu babu bed is an old thing, it is everyone's work, and it was specially prepared for Feng Ziying at home after he turned 14 and grew a lot in size.

But if it is winter, Feng Ziying prefers to sleep on the heated kang.

Although this kind of babu bed is beautifully crafted, it is not as comfortable as a warm kang that has been burned with earth dragons in winter. However, when mosquitoes and flies proliferate in summer and autumn, this babu bed can be hung with silk nets to avoid the disturbance of mosquitoes and flies. Naturally it is much more suitable.

"Second brother Lian and Baoyu are here specially? What did they say?" Feng Ziying was quite surprised. Originally, Jia's mansion sent a post a long time ago, and it was indeed an appointment to visit Jia's mansion tomorrow, but it was from the west. Jiang has not visited since he came back, just took time to socialize.

If Jia Lian and Baoyu hadn't come this time, he originally wanted to ask Ruixiang to come and send a post tomorrow to explain that he would not be free for these two days, so he had to make another appointment, but it seems that it is really hard to shirk now.

"I heard from Ruixiang that he didn't say anything, only that the first and second masters of Jia's mansion will be waiting for you in the mansion."

Naturally, Jin Chuan'er didn't know the details here, but Caixia also came here quietly at noon. Although she didn't say anything, the implication was that she hoped that she would follow the uncle back to Jia's house tomorrow, which made Jin Chuan'er feel a little bit Going back to Jia's mansion tomorrow seems to have some unusual meaning.

"Oh? Elder Master and Second Master?" Feng Ziying was even more puzzled. It was normal for Jia Zheng to see him, but it was a bit unusual for Jia Amnesty to see him.

"Also, Caixia, who is next to the second wife of Jia's mansion, also came to look for my servant at noon, and also talked about the matter of my master's visit to Jia's house tomorrow. Make sure to go to Jia's mansion."

Feng Ziying turned over, and Yu Chuaner quickly put the pillow behind Feng Ziying's back, so that Feng Ziying could lean on the head of the bed comfortably, and she was about to get out of bed.

But when Feng Ziying held her hand, she was taken aback. She subconsciously glanced at her sister, but Jin Chuan'er turned a blind eye to her.

Feng Ziying pulled Yu Chuan'er to her side, and unconsciously rubbed her hand on Yu Chuan'er's black hair, but she was wondering what the Jia family was up to.

It was just an ordinary family visit, but now there is such a big battle, it really makes Feng Ziying a little puzzled.

Could it be that something happened to Jia's house again, and he wanted to wipe their buttocks for them, but he didn't seem to hear any other rumors, especially that Jia Amnesty was required to come forward.

"Jin Chuan'er, what's going on in Jia's mansion these days?"

"It's not a big deal. The Second Master Bao is still the same in his studies. It's just that the Third Master Huan is very energetic in his studies now, but his temper has become a lot stronger. He has argued with the Second Master Bao several times and was punished by the second wife twice. Aunt Zhao I ran to the old man to make a fuss, and was punished by the old ancestor Ming,..."

"That's all?" Feng Ziying shook her head.

Does Jia Huan seem to be really ready to study?But this petty temper is probably also a trouble.

This guy's personality is a bit extreme, and if Mrs. Wang deliberately suppresses the run, maybe something will happen, but I don't have the energy to ask about it. If it happens, I can remind him and make a good relationship. edge.

"The other thing is that Grandma You's family has relatives in the Ningguo Mansion, but the relatives who came seem to have lived outside the mansion instead of entering the mansion. It is said that those relatives all look a little different,..."

"Oh?" Feng Ziying was a little surprised, but the calculations were about the same. It was a few days later than her return to Beijing, which is quite fast, but it seems that Third Sister You didn't come to her house to say hello.

"There is also a letter from Miss Lin's father, saying that she is not in good health..." As soon as Jin Chuan'er said this, Feng Ziying was shocked and sat up straight: "What about Miss Lin?"

Jin Chuan'er was puzzled, "Miss Lin is still in the house, she only said that his father is not in good health, and nothing else,..."

Only then did Feng Ziying breathe a sigh of relief. He thought that the wheels of history would continue to roll and could not be stopped. Now it seems that Lin Ruhai is not seriously ill, let alone dead.

But after doing the math, it seems that Lin Ruhai passed away almost this year. Could it be that he really changed history?

Feng Ziying was a little uncertain, and after thinking for a while, she asked again: "How did you find out about Miss Lin's father's letter?"

"It's from Zijuan." Jin Chuan'er's heart shuddered. It seemed that the possibility of Miss Lin becoming the Feng family's mistress became more and more likely.

It's just that Xiangling said that Miss Bao and the uncle also had an agreement, so what should I do?
Could it be that the real uncle wants to marry two concubines concurrently, and let Miss Bao and Miss Lin be sisters-in-law?
Jin Chuan'er thought a little too far, if she really had both sexes, a maid like herself would naturally go with the uncle, but she would always go with the first room.

This Xiangling and Miss Bao have a very good relationship, and there is a Yinger over there who is not inferior to Xiangling. Although Miss Lin is very proud of Zijuan, there is only one after all, but Miss Lin has no temper. Miss Bao is modest and gentle. If she followed Miss Lin, she might suffer some torture.

For a while, Jin Chuan'er was also a little worried about gains and losses.

Hearing what Zijuan said, Feng Ziying felt a little more at ease. Tomorrow, she wanted to find a chance to see Miss Lin. At worst, she would call Zijuan to ask her a question. It would be bad if it was too late.

But he still has a premonition that some things cannot be changed by himself.

The inertia of history is greater than imagined. Just like Xue Jun, he thought he avoided it, but he never thought it would happen anyway, so he must be mentally prepared in advance, so that if something happens, he can deal with it in time.
