Jia She, the local tyrant of the Red Chamber

"Following heaven's fortune, the emperor said. Today there is a mighty general named Jia She, who is loyal to the state, honest and upright in public affairs, righteous in nature, and respectful in conduct. He can be a model for all officials. He is bestowed with a pair of Hetian white jade lion ball paperweights. I love this~~~~”

The old eunuch who delivered the decree looked at Jia Amnesty with a smile and said: "Master Jia, this white jade lion is used by saints every day." He also raised his eyebrows to show that he kept his words.

Embarrassed by Jia Amnesty, could it be that the old emperor heard about him flaunting his wealth in the lobby of the household department when he was practicing calligraphy, so he gave it to him by the way?Or let him learn some gentleness?In any case, it is more decent than the gold and silver silk and satin brought out by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Thank you quickly.

After sending the old eunuch out, Jia She majesticly held up the imperial gifted Hetian white jade lion rolling ball paperweight.

Holding a lion as an arrow is much more powerful than holding a chicken feather as an arrow, so the renovation of Rongguo Mansion went very smoothly.

Anyway, Jia Amnesty didn't know who had face and who had no face, let alone what the ancestors' rules had written.In short, all important positions are replaced by his newly trained confidantes, who act according to his newly established rules, with detailed division of labor, clear responsibilities and rights, especially strict in purchasing, warehouse, and accounting.If there are too many people, pick out what you need first. If you can use one person, you don’t need two people-just pay more monthly money, and the two people need to communicate.

For example, sweeping the floor, of course, four or five people can no longer be responsible for a yard.There is also a sewing room kitchen that needs to be tested, and only skilled people are allowed to enter.Not to mention let a little girl who is only a few years old work, what can a child do.The rest were released that were pleasing to the eye, and those that were not pleasing to the eye were sold.The Rongguo Mansion, which was full a few months ago, only had more than 200 people left in the blink of an eye.The remaining monthly money was at least turned over.

In addition, a patrol team of [-] people was formed to practice martial arts and learn calligraphy, with a monthly payment of four taels, responsible for guarding the security of Rongguo Mansion, patrolling day and night, and being solely responsible for Jia She, the hereditary first-class Shenwei general.Mr. She was holding two suet white jade balls (bought by himself) in his hands, dangling them.Mao Taizu said that political power grows out of the barrel of a gun, and only with force in hand can the Lord's unique position in this mansion remain unshakable.

The only thing that was kept completely was Jiamu's yard. No matter how shameless Jia Amnesty was, he couldn't make himself too passive in terms of filial piety.These people naturally didn't add half a penny, and most of their families sent them out.It's too late when Mother Jia knows.Later, some second- and third-class maidservants and rough envoy servants came to beg to go out with their families. Mother Jia sighed and rewarded them with some money to let them go.

On the day of repaying the money, she also asked someone to call Jia She to come and have a talk, Jia She said, these few days I really don't have the time, the urgency is so urgent, I just wait for a few days, he will start everything from the beginning, then my lord mother will naturally understand I am painstaking.Jia's mother weighed over and over again, not knowing what painstaking efforts he had, and thought that Yu Xiao, the eldest son, had suddenly become intimidated by him.It saves Jia Amnesty many things.And because the patrol team was guarding the gate of Rongguo Mansion and the white jade lion was paying tribute in Jia Amnesty's house, there was nothing to do.Gradually, he started to think wildly, I'm afraid these servants really have something wrong.Especially when I heard that Jia Amnesty had custom-made waist tags for each of his servants, with names and positions clearly written on them, it was even more unsafe.Jia Amnesty knew and smiled knowingly: Smart people think more.Grandpa just suddenly recalled the company's license plate in his previous life.

In the original book, Qingwen Sheyue was the only maid beside Bao Erye who was admitted to the sewing room.The rest, including Hua Xiren, were all eliminated by Jia She on the grounds that they were useless personnel - the young master didn't need a maid by his side.As for whether Baoyu is willing, he will learn it at home at that time, and no one will think of asking him.Um?The vice ladies don't want to leave, want to bump to death?What do you do for that hundred-man patrol team?Seeing someone's smarter maid, she took advantage of the situation and set her sights on the young man from the patrol team.

The warehouse is thoroughly cleaned.Useful registers are sorted into categories and are counted once a month.The useless ideas were sold, and those that could not be sold, thought about whether they could be used by poor people or Zhuangzi, and gave them all away.There can be no bad debts.

In terms of expenses, Jia Amnesty personally filtered each item, eliminating everything that was not needed. Our family is poor and we don’t have so much money to squander.Regardless of whether the uncle raises his aunt to buy antiques or the second master raises his family to buy calligraphy and paintings, they will no longer go to the public account, and the two masters are asked to solve their personal financial problems by themselves.As an example, Jia Amnesty dismissed his concubine's concubine in person.

Huh?You ask what is the use of the money in the public account?

Food, clothing, shelter, and transportation are one of them.Human relations are the second.The third is to pay the monthly money of the wife and servants every month.Donating porridge and rice and participating in social charity activities are the fourth.Taking care of the old and the young, and rectifying the family education are the fifth.

Family education is no longer what it used to be.

Jia She deliberately went with Jia Dairu to discuss with Jia Zhen the school affairs during Qin Keqing's funeral.

Anyway, the public account of the Rongguo Mansion is now in the hands of Jia She, and he has replaced a string of strict and capable teachers in the school with a high salary. Some teach the Four Books and Five Classics, some teach poetry, some teach calligraphy and painting, and some teach riding and archery , Those who have plans to teach, and those who have taught the law, signed an employment contract, and Jia Amnesty sent someone to pay them salaries.Of course, the money is ultimately allocated from the public account.Every six months, Mr. Xi finds someone from outside to write questions, and gives the students an additional test. Teachers who teach well will be rewarded heavily.

The students take the exam first, and they are divided into three classes: A, B, and C according to the progress.Someone painted white powder on the screen wall of the home academy, and wrote three large characters: bulletin board.The names and ages of all students are posted on the bulletin board by class.Jia She secretly arranged monthly and quarterly exams for them.After each exam, the rankings of Classes A and B have been copied and pasted here.The top three are marked in red and given a scholarship; although the last three are not fined, they are also marked in green, lest people will not see them.It can't be replaced until the monthly exam list comes out next month.Class C is Mengtong's class. There is no exam ranking, but the teacher reads to the whole class.Those who study in Class A and B must have the consent of more than three teachers. Of course, anyone who wants to change from Class A and B to Class C is free to do so.It's just that when you go to the bulletin board, everyone can see who are the students in Class C and how old they are, depending on how shameless you are.

Go to school every day, and it is forbidden to be late and leave early, rain or shine.There are five days of school, two days off, reading in the morning and riding and shooting in the afternoon.Unless there is a major event, such as Qin Keqing's death, there will be a funeral, otherwise the absent students must ask their parents to ask for leave in person, anyway, they live not far away, whoever has the nerve to ask for leave for his son in front of many teachers and schoolchildren every day.In addition to the parents who are sick, a doctor must personally write a leave note and prescribe a prescription.After three absences without asking for leave, there is no need to waste the tea and snacks in the school.As for those in Rongguo Mansion, such as Jia Cong Baoyu, sorry, you are the future and hope of the Jia family, and you have no right not to go to school.

Students uniformly distribute uniforms for the four seasons, and household clothes must be worn inside regardless of whether they are good or not.They always eat in the school at noon, and those who are naughty just want to be hungry.Book boys and servants are not allowed to enter the house to study, and all the masters are sent back, or they wait outside and come to pick them up after school.If you don’t know how to grind ink by yourself, just dip it in white water and write—there will be no book boy to grind ink for you in the future scientific examinations.

However, on the third day after Jia Enhou was awarded the white jade lion, the four little boys of Rongguo Mansion——Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Cong, and Jia Lan were all packed into the outer study to live a collective life.Four people live in a yard, whoever is afraid at night can go to sleep under the bed of his brother and uncle, and it’s okay if the brother and uncle are afraid and want to sleep under the bed of their younger brother and nephew, as long as he is willing.There are no maids in the outer study, only one servant and two adult attendants for each person to serve the nanny or nurse.It is enough for four people to serve a child.

Strictly speaking, this is not right, because Baoyu Jialan is a descendant, and the treatment cannot be the same as that of Jia Huan and Jia Cong.It's just that Jia She doesn't think it's necessary for boys to distinguish so clearly.He even more admired the eldest son inheritance system in Europe, regardless of whether other legitimate sons or illegitimate children obediently earn their own food.Now there is nothing left in Rongguo Mansion, and it will be over soon.He planned to leave all the things he got in his hands to Jia Lian.It's not that he likes Jia Lian so much, it's just that he is subconsciously willing to follow the European rules.So these four children will face the same situation in the future.The only thing the family can give them is education, and Jia Amnesty will not let them inherit much property in the end.

Mrs. Jia Muwang naturally refused, but it's a pity that Jia Amnesty didn't care about it. He only discussed it with Jia Zheng, and Jia Zheng also said that he was afraid that the old lady would not agree.Jia Amnesty said that I have my own way, you just choose someone.So Jia Zheng selected three people for Baoyu, including Baoyu's nurse, Nanny Li.

Jia Amnesty's solution was to take advantage of Jia's mother's sleep and press down all her people. Baoyu was in the school again, and first sent those experts in the warehouse class to tidy up quickly, and directly dragged the patrol team to forcibly move Baoyu's house.After school, people sent directly back to the study outside.

Jia She said: "If you are not happy to live here, you can pretend to be sick and vent your anger. Give Mrs. Bao some money and ask him to write a prescription. Your father is pretty easy to deceive. Just don't leave the yard when you are sick, for fear of infecting others. Sickness. And if you are sick and delay your homework, how embarrassing it is to get into the green letter in the next exam? Otherwise, how about going to Class C first? You take the exam of Class C for a while, I am afraid that you will not fall into the bottom few..."

Baoyu was ill for two days, but she didn't dare to get sick again. She just nestled in Sanchun's place after school every day for comfort.After that, I rode and shot every day, and my body was not weak anymore. This is another story.

Mrs. Jia Muwang cried and yelled and could only comfort each other, there was no other way.Besides, Baoyu's board and lodging are all good, and I greet you every day, but I won't see those foxes again.

Jia Amnesty was very satisfied.Because many people have taken someone as a phoenix egg, he is the phoenix egg.When all the eggs are treated the same, it depends on whether it is a phoenix or a sparrow.Therefore, he didn't care much about his search for Sanchun, and he could do whatever he wanted within the scope of the rules, as long as he spent more time looking for Sanchun and less time studying.What could be more brutal than rankings?When he loses face twice in the last two green letters, gets beaten up by Jia Zheng twice, pretends to be sick and has to close the yard, he will find a way to catch up with his homework.That kid is very talented.Jia Amnesty scratched his head recalling his painful middle school days in his previous life.Should it be worse and attract Jia Zheng's attention to the ranking in the family school?Anyway, he has quite a lot of free time now.

Even Jia Zheng was satisfied.Although it is demeaning for Jia Amnesty to rectify his servants and make them jump around in the past few days, for Baoyu, Jia's mother doted on him in the past, and even he, an old man, can't do anything about it.Now it's great to see that elder brother can circle Baoyu to study with this method.

Although Aunt Zhao was reluctant to part with Jia Huan, seeing that Jia Amnesty's arrangement was the same as Baoyu's, she was so happy that she was over a hundred and eighty times every day and was busy packing clothes and utensils.

Li Wan is transparent. Although Jia Lan is young, the four people around him are all picked by himself. Jia Amnesty also went to pick them up in person, holding Jia Lan in his arms and promising: "Lan'er is the eldest grandson of the second room. Who can go past him?" ?" Li Wan immediately felt relieved, his uncle was a well-behaved man.

Only Jia Cong is the son of Jia She, even though he was born to his aunt.Poor birth mother left early, and the nanny is not a good one, she has black eyebrows and black lips all day long.Since Liu Yang came here and was very busy, I couldn't think of him at all.Now seeing this little timid little thing, a kind of guilt welled up.With a long sigh in my heart, when this damn battle is over, I will have a good time to enjoy peace, tranquility and happiness.

Therefore, he went forward and hugged Jia Cong and said, "It's nothing else to let you go to the study outside. The brothers in the mansion even went to Lan'er. It's more convenient to study in one place. There are carriages and horses there every day to take the four of you to the school. , Shen Shi will pick you up, and it will be convenient for you brothers to kiss each other. Father will have time to visit you by himself."

It was the first time Jia Cong was hugged by his father since he was born, and he was rather flattered, and he said after a long time: "Second brother Bao only kisses sisters and maid sisters, and he doesn't want to kiss us."

Jia She was happy: "There are no sisters and maids in the outer study, if he doesn't want to kiss you, let him kiss yourself." (No other meaning, who wants to face the wall by himself.)

In fact, there are not many maids outside the study.Now, except for the old lady who kept the original seven big maids and five or six second- and third-class maids, the rest of the hostesses each have four maids, and the monthly money is different.There are also Jia Zheng's two aunts, each of whom serves, and Jia Amnesty has no aunts himself.The rest are servants who do rough work or women in charge of other things. Although there are more young girls in the sewing room, the work is not light.It's okay for the maids and maids to tease the young master Jia She, because mistresses are legal these days.It's just that the young master has to earn enough money.It's the same in modern times. Rich people keep concubines, those who have no money go to brothels, and those who have no money can only worship Master Cang.On the contrary, Mrs. Wang is watching Baoyu very closely, and she has nothing else to do now.

He was busy tidying up the East Courtyard again, saying that the old lady was ill, so don't be disturbed, and the three girls were not young anymore, so they all moved to the East Courtyard.Jia Amnesty didn't have many people around, and one person was doing things at the rate of twenty, and everything was arranged first and then cleaned up in an orderly manner.It is more convenient to transport the boxes and cages, and the patrol team has done this more these days.I heard that Xiao Ban'er has booked his future wife.So I packed it up in two days and arranged for Sanchun to live there.

In the original book, the East Courtyard will be merged into the Grand View Garden, the north is the Lixiangyuan, and the south is now living in the second room. Jia Zheng and his wife, Li Wan and Zhao Zhou are two aunts.In this way, Tanchun was left in the easternmost room, so that he could go back and visit her parents and aunt.Yingchun is naturally in the middle, who made her his cheap daughter?Xichun is closest to Rikain.The Pear Fragrance Courtyard is quite large, and Xue's family won't be able to stay for long, and they are planning to live with Daiyu when she comes back.Jia Amnesty still has this bit of professional ethics after receiving 3 to [-] taels a year from Lao Tzu.

On the other hand, Jia Amnesty sent his confidant Zheng Manzi to go south to find Jia Lian, and brought all the deeds of the servants from Jinling.Tell him that after finishing the matter of Lin Hai, he will go to Jinling and various industries in the south to inspect the industries, and take Lin girl with him.If someone is in danger, copy it out and count it as your private house.In addition, the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River took 5 taels of silver from our family, took all of it out, and combined it with the 15 taels of silver notes brought by Zheng Manzi for 20 taels, all of which were used to buy sacrificial fields.Zheng Manzi quietly conveyed a private word: the land of sacrifices will be inherited by the eldest family in the future.

These days, the Xue family has been closed and closed only in Lixiangyuan.Xue Pan has found a house and will move out after Jia Zheng's birthday.They could see that now, Jia She is covering the sky with one hand and never showing face to others. If he doesn't leave, Jia She will drive him away.

In this way, it finally came to Jia Zheng's birthday.

The author has something to say: According to the original book, one day was Jia Zheng's birthday, and all the people from Ningrong and Rongrong gathered to celebrate and it was very lively.Suddenly, a door official hurried in and reported to the banquet: "There is an eunuch from the Six Palaces, Mr. Xia, who came to issue an order." Kneel at the door.

Jia's mother and her whole family were all in a state of panic, and they kept sending people flying horses back and forth to report the news.

It can be seen from this that Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng and Jia Mu were not fully aware of the matter of concubine concubine in Yuanchun, at least they did not grasp the time schedule.

---------------------

In feudal society, women obey their sons when their husbands die, and Jia Mu can only trap Jia Amnesty with filial piety, and filial piety is related to face.If Jia Mu was desperate to pull down Jia She's face and accuse him of disobedience, the face of the entire Rongguo Mansion would be gone.If you just call him for an order, he won't listen.In particular, Jia Amnesty had just been commended by the emperor.Mrs. Wang's handle is still in Jia She's hand, Jia Zheng is relatively soft, not strong.So at this moment, he can cover the sky with one hand and run amok.

------------------------------

More than 200 service personnel and management personnel, plus a security team of 100 people, I think it is enough for Rongguo Mansion to operate calmly.
