Number of People

  Chapter 1076 The Geng Scroll is a joy

"...So the imperial court intends to redeem all the soldiers of the Jingying camp?" Jia She and Feng Ziying talked happily, "It should be so, anyway, the soldiers of the Jingying camp are also serving the court. If the court ignores them, Wouldn't it chill the hearts of the soldiers?"

It was a rare experience for Jia Amnesty to discuss such important military affairs with people like Feng Ziying who had actually participated in the negotiations with the Mongols. He was the only person to talk about, so he naturally wanted to ask these details clearly.

   "Shibo She is right." Feng Ziying responded with her teeth bared and her mouth crooked. "The imperial court must have considered it that way, but if the Mongols asked for too high a price, it would be a bit of a hindrance."

   Talking to this guy is boring and you have to go along with it, otherwise you will be noticed by the other party, and I'm afraid you will make a face again, making everyone unhappy.

"Brother Keng, do you think the Mongols have reached Shunyi Pinggu now, how dangerous is it?" Jia She leaned towards Feng Ziying, pretending to lower his voice, "I heard that the street Food prices and oil prices have risen a lot, but the price of the shop and house has dropped sharply. In the first half of the year, Nanxunfang is next to the Shaojiu Alley not far from the Four Translation Hall. You know, it is a good place. To the north is Naizifu, and The etiquette room is a big house covering an area of ​​two mu of land. Although it is a bit dilapidated, the garden is still there, and the selling price is 1,280 taels..."

"..., before the Mongols came in, it was always at this price, but they didn't sell it, but the seller refused to lower the price. As soon as the Mongols came in, he collapsed to 950 taels. Who would want it at this time? No, the former I came to find someone two days ago to ask me if I want it, and it only costs 880 taels, and I guess I can get it even 800 taels, but isn’t it too full to eat to sell the house right now?”

   Jia She took a tentative glance at Feng Ziying, observing the changes in his facial expression, "Brother Keng, do you think the Mongols can't break in?"

  This guy actually had these ideas, Feng Ziying was slandered.

But it's no wonder, I haven't encountered such a thing in decades, I'm afraid the people in the capital city are panic-stricken, although they don't say they want to abandon the city and leave, but no matter how wrong the situation is, they will find a way to quietly leave the city and run south There should be quite a few people, especially those merchants, gentry and middle- and lower-level officials who are not very clear about the current situation. I'm afraid there are more.

Jia Amnesty obviously believed in and valued his own opinion, and planned to make a fortune from it, but he didn't intend to deceive the other party in this matter, and it was even a good thing for the other party to take the initiative to buy a house or a shop. The trust of the army.

Besides, although the matter of Yingchun is still unclear, unless Jia She is dead, in the final analysis, we have to pass this hurdle. Yingchun is not young, and it may not be delayed for too long. He would never allow Yingchun to go, and when the Zhongshan wolf went, he would be a sheep in the wolf's lair, and if he went and never returned, he would bear the reputation of being a hungry ghost, so he would admit it.

After making up her mind, Feng Ziying said calmly: "If Uncle She believes what my nephew says, then he can act boldly. The Mongols are just a gust of wind and rain. My nephew can assert that the Mongols will have to kill them in at most one and a half months." Back off, they can't spend the winter under the capital city,..."

   "Oh?" Jia She's spirit lifted, "Really? Your Yongping Mansion..."

"As long as the court's affairs are settled on the Neikalkha side, I estimate that they will start returning to the grassland in half a month at most, and the Gyeonggi side may be delayed a little bit, which means a month's work." Feng Ziying is categorical. , "So now these people in the capital city are scaring themselves. How many of the emperor and court officials are really flustered? Those who sell shops and houses and sell antiques are all stupid."

  Jia Amnesty couldn't help but pat his legs and was overjoyed.

   Antiques are stored in prosperous times, and gold is stored in troubled times. Now that the situation is so tense, naturally countless people want to exchange their antiques for gold and silver, and the prices are also kept very low.

  In the past few days, he has also inquired about several deals that are very cost-effective, and they are definitely not available in normal times. It's a pity that the stone nerds refuse to sell those fans, which is really itchy.

   Naturally, Feng Ziying didn’t know that Jia She had followed the direction of the original book and started to play the stone nerd’s old fans.

  In fact, this doesn’t even count as a blog, it’s purely making money with information asymmetry.

   "Really?" Jia She's voice trembled a little, "Brother Keng, you can't lie to Uncle Yu."

"What is Uncle Xi talking about? Your two families, how dare my nephew lie and deceive me? How dare my little nephew come to the door after that?" Feng Ziying spread her hands helplessly. It seems that Jia She really found a lot of things in the Lai family. With less money, he dared to have such confidence to earn this money.

"Okay!" Jia She's face was full of red, and he wished he could go out and do something big right away, but he also knew that there was no rush at this moment, not that it would take another month, and he could slowly find a suitable target, "If this matter If you succeed, Uncle Yu must thank Brother Keng very much."

  When Jia She said these words, Jia Amnesty was also a little moved. It seemed that it would not be unacceptable to give the second girl to Feng Ziying as a concubine.

It's just that I have already received five thousand taels of silver from Sun Shaozu, and then Sun Shaozu knocked on the door to give away one or two thousand taels of silver. It is absolutely impossible for him to return these silvers to the Sun family. If Feng Ziying is willing to do it for herself Return the money to the Sun's family, and take out a sum of money to pay the second girl. It is not impossible for the second girl to be her concubine.

   Thinking of this, Jia She also felt it was a pity.

This Feng Ziying obviously has a brighter future, and her family has more money, but the second girl can only be a concubine if she wants to go there. Being a concubine and being a first wife are two different things. A concubine cannot be a family. She wants to settle down in the future. The money also depends on the face of the old woman. If I expect the second girl to come back and pay filial piety, I can't have much, so it is more suitable to marry the Sun family.

  However, Jia She changed his mind again, that girl Xiuyan is also pretty, and it seems that she can also have a business.

It is said that Brother Keng is good-natured and doesn't like beautiful women, otherwise the second daughter-in-law would not have given the two sisters, Jin Chuaner and Jade Chuaner, to Feng Ziying. Ling gave it to Brother Keng to please, and if Xiuyan was promised to Brother Keng as a concubine, it seemed to make up for the lack of the second girl.

   A smile appeared on the corner of Jia She's mouth, which made Feng Ziying feel a little guilty. Could it be that this guy knew about his affair with Yingchun? It shouldn't be.

   Jia She turned his eyes and saw that Jia Zheng seemed to be a little out of his mind. After talking with Feng Ziying for so long, he didn't respond at all.

"Second brother, Brother Keng said that the Mongols won't stay in this capital city for long, so you can rest assured. By the way, Ziying, the court originally intended to let your Uncle Zheng Shi go to Jiangxi to study politics. It was just this time that we were about to set off, but I didn't expect the Mongols to come in, so this matter was delayed,..."

  Feng Ziying was taken aback by Jia Amnesty's words, "Uncle Zheng Shi is going to be released?"

  Jia Zheng stopped his attention and briefly introduced the situation.

It seems that Jia Yuanchun still obeyed his own suggestion and wanted to send Jia Zheng to the capital city. Hou was coerced inside, and he really didn't know what happened when the time came.

Jiangxi is not bad at studying politics. In Feng Ziying’s impression, in the book "Dream of Red Mansions", Jia Zheng was sent to other provinces to study politics. He only returned to Beijing after a few years. , coupled with the fact that there are no eggs under the whole nest, the entire martial arts group was involved in the Iron Net Mountain rebellion, and eventually it was inevitable to fall.

"This is a good thing. Studying politics in one province is of great benefit to improving Shishu's reputation among scholars. Moreover, Jiangyou has always produced talents, with a strong academic style. Uncle Zhengshi has a modest temperament. When Jiangyou is here, he will be able to get along with Shilin literati. Get along with each other in a friendly way, and you will definitely gain something." Feng Ziying congratulated a series of congratulations.

In fact, Jia Zheng was worried, but also a little happy. Jiangyou has always produced a large number of literati, and the style of writing is at its peak. I went to study politics without an imperial examination background. As long as he is humble and gentle, he will be able to hold on even if he is a little angry. As long as he survives this term, he will definitely leave a good impression on the scholars, and his reputation will be much better when he returns to Beijing in the future.

   Slicking his beard and smiling, Jia Zheng also said: "This matter is only decided by the Ministry of Officials, but in the end the official document shall prevail..."

"Hehe, Uncle Zheng Shi doesn't need to worry. Official documents will definitely come out after the Ministry of Officials decides, but it just happens to be at this time." Feng Ziying said with a smile: "My nephew will definitely not be in Beijing by then, only in Yongzhou. Pingyao wishes Uncle Shi a smooth journey, and his wishes come true, if there is anything that needs my nephew's help, please ask Uncle Shi to speak up, my nephew will never refuse if he can do it."

   Hearing what Feng Ziying said, Jia Zheng was so fond of it that he smiled, and seeing Feng Ziying became more pleasing to the eye, and his thoughts of remorse, regret and expectation were also mixed, and his imagination ran wild for a while.

Feng Ziying has a great reputation among scholars. Although Jiangyou is there, Feng Ziying has discussed the scriptures with Jiangnan scholars in Qingtan Academy, and with the influence of Kaihai Zhilue, so if he goes Jiang You mentioned that Feng Ziying was his nephew, so he could have some face.

For a moment, the Rongxi Hall was full of joy, laughter was loud, and the host and guests had a good time. Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan, and Jia Lan also looked envious, and they didn't know when they would get the two masters in the future. treat?
