Number of People

  Chapter 397 C-character scroll Yuanchun

   "Wang Gong and Niu Gong are worried that Ma Xia will stalk the Long Jinwei and the Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the whole Ma family will be trapped?" Feng Ziying frowned.

   This matter is really difficult to deal with.

He was quite happy at first, when he dozed off, someone brought a pillow, and he was talking about how to get on line with the powerful Wuxun family in the army, negotiate and reach a compromise, this is what he talked about with Emperor Yonglong The problem, and I still thought about the need to talk to Wang Ziteng Haosheng, and this pillow came.

How to use the proceeds from the debt must not bypass the army. With such a large amount of money, the Ministry of War will also recruit military veterans in the army. If it involves the formation of naval fleets in Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Guangxi, and even Shandong and Nanzhi, all of them must involve the army.

But for Ma Xia's matter, if Ma Xia really bites recklessly, it's hard to say whether the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Long Jinwei can suppress it. This requires several people including the Ma family and Ma Xia. The party is quite cumbersome to coordinate and communicate.

On the one hand, the Ma family must suppress all kinds of voices to prevent chaos, and Ma Xia's mouth must be blocked to avoid random biting; on the other hand, the Metropolitan Procuratorate must coordinate well. I still have to find one or two people to satisfy the Metropolitan Procuratorate who has been busy for a long time.

  The other thing is to balance the relationship between the military department, the household department and these powerful factions in the army.

People like Wang Ziteng, Niu Jizong, Chen Daoxian, and even his own father and Chen Jingxuan, who are powerful in the military, will have to argue about how to fight for this profit in the future. Everyone is the leader of the team. A sum of income, if you can't get some for the next, it will definitely not be fair, and if you don't make the next step, you won't be able to continue.

  The Ministry of Households will definitely not agree to transfer such a large sum of money from debts to the Ministry of War. There is a shortage of money everywhere, and it is not your Ministry of War and the Jiubian family. Even if you take the majority, then this ratio has to be discussed.

  Similarly, the Ministry of War also needs to be balanced. All the money assigned to the Ministry of War cannot be allocated to the nine sides. Since it is going to open the sea, the formation of a naval fleet is inevitable, which in turn involves the division of this part of the money.

  The money assigned to Jiubian also needs to be distributed among Jiliao, Xuanda and Sanbian. Every family is waiting for food, and they have to pay evenly.

  None of them are simple.

   It can be said that the specific strategy has not yet been finalized, and perhaps fierce quarrels and games between all parties will begin, such as smashing the table and throwing the bench, or even cutting the robes and drawing swords to each other.

Now if we want to appease the strength of the army, we must rely on people like Wang Ziteng and Niu Jizong. After all, these people still have considerable influence in the army, otherwise Emperor Yonglong would not be so cautious. If he wasn't caught, he had to behave himself in front of the Supreme Emperor, but in turn, this was also a good opportunity to bribe these martial arts families.

"Ziying, it's good that you understand that the Ma family is a rotten nest full of snakes and rats, but now it is related to the image of our entire Wuxun family. Once those censors tear it apart, the government and the public may think that we This is true of the Wu Xun family, and from then on, our Wu Xun family will lose their reputation and really have no way to gain a foothold."

   Jia Zheng's words are also quite heavy.

  Wang Ziteng told him that, and he had considered it himself, this matter really damaged the image of the Wu Xun family, so Ma Shang went to the Supreme Emperor to strike the bell, but the Supreme Emperor refused to pay any attention.

Jia Amnesty also said: "Brother Keng, this matter is not the business of the Ma family. Everyone is prosperous and the other is damaged, so this matter must be suppressed. The Ma family is not a person who doesn't understand the rules. Pay off."

He went directly to Ma Shang yesterday, and Ma Shang agreed in a hurry, and first sent five thousand taels of silver, which made Jia She overjoyed, so he was very worried that Feng Ziying would not come today, and he couldn't tell the Ma family about it. explain.

  Jia Zheng's words were acceptable and reasonable, but Jia Amnesty's words made Feng Ziying a little tired. Is he a person who lacks that kind of reward?

   I'm afraid that Jia She is so active because he has already accepted the benefits of the Ma family. How can this guy be so interested in ordinary things?

"Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi, I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as you and I imagined. There must be someone involved in Ma Xia's greed for ink, but what about the money returned by Tanmo? It's just that he got a house? Back then he won the Ningxia town general It is said that a lot of money was spent, and it was Ma Shang who came forward to operate it. Who took the money? Who were involved? I am afraid that the censors will not give up easily, and the money returned by these greedy inks has not been taken by Ma Shang? Think about it. impossible."

   Jia She and Jia Zheng looked at each other in blank dismay. If Feng Ziying said so, this matter would be troublesome.

  If it is necessary to pursue the matter when Ma Xia took office, it will inevitably involve the military officials at that time, and this involvement will be difficult to control.

  As for Ma Xia biting the people of the Ma family, that's secondary, at most, it would involve the other houses of the Ma family.

  This kind of martial arts is not like a civil servant who still cherishes his feathers, so as not to affect his career. People like Ma Shang have never counted on this.

   "Then according to brother Keng's opinion, what should we do?" Jia Zheng couldn't help but said.

"Uncle Shi, this matter can't be clarified in a short while. It involves too many aspects, and my nephew doesn't dare to speak nonsense, but my nephew can understand the thoughts of the prince and Niu Gong, as well as Uncle Shi. Anyway, the Feng family is also like this. I understand what Wang Gong and Niu Gong mean, and when we go back, there will be arrangements, and I ask Uncle Shi to tell Wang Gong and Niu Gong, and don't cause any trouble at this time."

Feng Ziying won't leave any excuses for the other party, but he doesn't think that people like the Ma family deserve much attention. He just needs to take into account the sadness of the whole martial arts group and the feelings of the emperor, but this can just be used as a martial arts group. Trading Weights.

  Jia Zheng nodded knowingly.

  He also heard Feng Ziying's meaning, and he must convey these meanings to the other party for them to consider.

  The people on the other side may be Zhang Jingqiu from the Ministry of War, or the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, or the cabinet veterans, or even the emperor.

   No wonder my brother-in-law said that he had to go to the Supreme Emperor to say hello to the Emperor, otherwise how could this group of Wu Xun resist the pressure from these civil servants?

   Seeing Jia Zheng nodding his head, although Jia Amnesty was still a little confused, he knew that there was hope, and he felt more at ease.

He has already made up his mind that if the Ma family really can't escape, then it's none of his business. He has worked hard, and the five thousand taels of silver will never be refunded. The Ma family was willing to give up when they squeezed out 10,000 to 20,000 taels of silver.

The main thing is settled, and the atmosphere will be relaxed. Everyone knows that this matter cannot be settled in a day or two. If there is no such thing as a month or two, don't expect to have a result. It's not in a hurry. Anyway, I am in a hurry to get angry. It was also the Ma family who couldn't sleep.

  As long as there is room for discussion, it is easy to say.

  Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu also vaguely understood the meaning of letting them participate in such matters. In the future, they will inevitably handle such matters on behalf of the Jia family, so they must learn a little bit first.

  *****

   "Mother is well?" The beauty in the palace costume heard the footsteps, turned around, looked at her mother, and couldn't help but go forward.

   "Okay, okay." Mrs. Wang stepped forward and held her daughter's hand, looked up and down, her eyes were full of concern, "Have you ever gotten used to being with the concubine?"

"Mother, don't worry, everything is fine." The beauty in palace attire is naturally Jia Yuanchun, with hibiscus pink dimples and jade white fragrance, a pair of thick and well-shaped eyebrows matched with a pair of red phoenix eyes, all the essence and aura are contained in it, and the diamond-shaped nose under the slightly high bridge of the nose The cherry lips were slightly pursed, and there was a graceful and noble look in the smile.

   "That's good, that's good." Mrs. Wang held Yuan Chun's hand and led him to sit down, "At this moment, Mr. Feng's family is here, meeting your father, uncle, Lian'er, and Baoyu..."

   "Oh? But Feng Keng and Feng Ziying?" Yuan Chun's heart moved, and he said how to find a chance for his father and brother to recruit Feng Ziying, but he never thought that the other party was actually at his home.

"Yeah, he just came here. Your father and uncle have something to discuss with him." Madam Wang was also a little surprised. Her eldest daughter knew that this Feng family man was not rare. Last year, the eldest daughter also returned home, so the family also mentioned However, she never paid attention to it at that time, and the surprised expression on the big girl's face today did not hide from her eyes.

   After hesitating for a while, Mrs. Wang said again: "The matter discussed between your father and Feng Jia Dalang has a lot to do with it, and I want you to help me think it over,..."

  Yuan Chun slanted into his temples and raised his eyebrows slightly, "What's the matter?"

   Madam Wang picked up the important ones and said, Yuan Chun nodded silently.

  In fact, she already knew about it, and even came back this time for this reason, but she had to pretend that she just knew it.

Mrs. Wang carefully observed her daughter's expression, but she couldn't see any clues. This daughter is already twenty years old. If she was outside the palace, she would have been married and a woman, but she couldn't help herself in the palace. The two often complained to each other. If they had known that entering the palace would be hanging for a long time without a whereabouts, why bother to bump into such great luck?

  Especially now that the emperor has passed the year of knowing his destiny, should he still serve the present?

   "So I heard that Feng Jia Dalang hasn't married yet?" Yuan Chun asked suddenly.

After Mrs. Wang was taken aback, she thought for a while and said: "I heard that they are not engaged yet, but there are many high-ranking families and officials in the capital who are interested, but firstly, his father is guarding the border, and secondly, he himself has been It means that you can only discuss marriage after you reach the age of sixteen, so..."

  Yuanchun shook his head, "Mother, this is just an excuse. It's a pity for the third sister. What about Baoyu's marriage?"
