Chapter 290 Three Women's War
He personally sent Eunuch Liu to the gate of the main hall. At this time, the residence report came from the Hongqiao Station. Jia Cong couldn't wait to turn around, and looked at it while walking, browsing through ten lines. The light yellow bamboo paper read: "...Nine sides have been established, and the country has spare energy to safeguard the river. The cabinet and the household workers agreed to allocate one million to open the Zhonghe River, and Jia Cong's eight-sentence comments..."
The memorials in the diary were written in categories according to the six ministries and temples and other departments. Jia Cong saw the column of the Ministry of Justice, and the instructions on the Wuzhou case were "instructed by the Three Laws and Wuzhou was punished and abandoned the market."
The market was cut into pieces at Xuanwumen Vegetable Market, like Yuan Chonghuan and Zheng Man.
If Jia Cong did not handle it, the case would have to be delayed longer, either to calm down or to be exposed in the future. Official killing cases were not uncommon in ancient times, but many cases exposed were caused by personal grudges. This incident naturally added prestige to Jia Cong.
In addition, after his and Lu Lianxian's estimates, it would take less than two million before the completion of the Zhonghe River in Huaiyang.
Generally, it takes two years, but with cement, the process can be accelerated appropriately, and on the other hand, the funds are also increasing. The mining of clay and iron ore is a great burden for the Ministry of Industry, as well as the clay production area Jiangxi, and the iron ore production area Guangdong and Fujian.
This huge project involves all aspects.
Of course, Jia Cong was not in a hurry to achieve success. One million can be temporarily relieved for a while. The memorial was personally approved by the emperor, indicating that Emperor Yongle, who was in ill health, was still secretly controlling the government.
As long as the responsibility system is fully implemented, the problem of deduction can be handled better, for most officials, even if they love money, they must keep their black hats first.
Jia Cong was very angry after getting this information. As long as there was political support behind it, he could solve other things one by one.
In addition, in the Wenxuan Department of the Ministry of Personnel, he saw that the former Hanlin Academy Shuji Shi Jaswen was elected as the Yangzhou Salt Censor. He was about to arrive. Jia Cong smiled and asked Liu Zhiyuan to make trouble with them so that he could do things with peace of mind.
That night, I reviewed several model eight-legged essays from Jiangnan, and lived a pleasant and enjoyable life with two new beautiful concubines You Erjie and You Sanjie.
The next day, he felt comfortable all over. As Miaoyu was about to come back, Jia Cong was about to leave for work.
After having dinner in the morning, Eryou and he asked him to sit with him. Jia Cong said, "I've returned to the store and you can buy a house. Let's see if the income there is enough."
"There should be no problem with money." You Erjie calculated: "It's just that this business will take some trouble. If you transport the soap candles from the capital, you have to find customers in the south. After all, you are unfamiliar with the place and have no local acquaintances, you will suffer."
"It's okay to find teeth." Jia Cong suggested.
Teeth shops existed very early, that is, brokers, intermediaries, and private teeth. However, in ancient times, there was a big difference between intermediaries and modern brokers. Teeth shops needed to make a book by the government and take office by posting, and they had to pay dental tax regularly. The Ming Dynasty had a dental tax of 600,000 to 700,000, and the great success was not less than one million.
Guazhou and Yizheng in Yangzhou are the most densely populated places in ancient times, followed by Su, Song, and Hang. The jobs of the populated shops help merchants find customers, acquire products, promote, etc. Of course, these require agency fees, which were called commissions in ancient times.
Teeth shops are an inevitable product after the development of commodity economy and are not produced out of thin air. Commodity producers and capitalists need it, especially those who come from other places like them. The first thing they should look for is Teeth shops.
"Gui Buyan is running around the world. Let me see if there are any brothers in the south of Shanhai Bookstore. It should not be difficult for you to get a big tooth shop." In this regard, Jia Cong only gave a guide and said, "Please take care of your elder sister, please help me with your elder sister. If you have any questions, write a letter..."
You Erjie nodded, You Sanjie was a little resentful. The women of these two small families had become dependent on Jia Cong. Jia Cong smiled and said, "It's not that we are not allowed to meet, I will come here often."
You Erjie advised You Sanjie that his second sister had a virtuous demeanor and was kind and weak.
These two beauties have a good taste. Jia Cong has tasted it for a few nights and is reluctant to let go of it, but he is not sad. He is saying goodbye when he suddenly hears a sound outside the second gate.
"Grandma, I'm tired."
"Go aside, I'm seeing him now, and I'm asking you guys?"
Eryou looked at each other and was stunned. Who is this? I slowly remembered that it was Miaoyu who was following Jia Cong. Although they followed Jia Cong all the way south with Miaoyu, they had never communicated with her. Therefore, they were very unfamiliar with this person's voice, probably "A chicken and dog will hear each other, and they will never interact with each other until they die."
Jia Cong wiped his forehead. Just as he was about to come out, Yu Lu, who was guarding the gate, couldn't stop him. Miaoyu stepped into the threshold in men's clothing. She was graceful and gorgeous. Just about her appearance and temperament, she was definitely not as good as her.
When You Erjie stood up, she didn't know what to call her, but You Sanjie watched coldly, with a strong hostility.
Jia Cong seemed to have not noticed it: "Oh... Miaoyu, thank you for your hard work these days."
"I dare not, how can I do my best?" Miaoyu sneered: "I haven't seen you for a few days. I have to congratulate you on adding two more beautiful wives and concubines. I'm here to enjoy the wine."
"Three sister..." You Erjie grabbed You Sanjie. You Sanjie refused to support her and sat up. She smiled happily: "We married according to the concubine's gifts. We are also formal people. The gift list is 200,000 taels of silver. Unlike some people, they are just aloof outside and sneak inside... They can drink wedding wine, and the girl has to give the gift first."
Miaoyu snorted coldly, and her pretty face turned red when she said this to her sore spot.
"Ah sneezing!" Jia Cong sneezed loudly, coughed a few serious times, and hurriedly pulled Miaoyu out.
Miaoyu was still twisted and stubborn. When she arrived at the study, Jia Cong sighed and said, "Look at you, I feel sorry for you because I have lost so much weight."
"Don't coax me, it turns out that I'm trying to get away from me. You're here to get a concubine. I'm still busy in the government office day and night." Miaoyu sighed.
"If I don't go with you, the adults will not be full of students, but will be full of wives and concubines."
Jia Cong said without any worries: "Look at your praise, they want to find another house. I want to go out, so let the clerks of the Yangzhou Prefecture Office send the case file here, so that you can't run away. When you arrive in Suzhou, I will go to pay tribute to your master with you."
"I'm afraid I'm thinking about your sister."
"On the way, you are the only one who follows me is the longest." Jia Cong rubbed Miaoyu's hand against his chest, "If you don't believe me, take out my heart."
After a few words, Miaoyu was softened. How could she have any experience in this regard? Jia Cong touched and kissed her and started in the study. Miaoyu could not withstand his attack. She raised her snow-white neck, her collarbones on both sides protruded, and her breathing was rapid: "Don't..."
...
At the Ganquan Port at the canal port, the crowded crowd was cleared by the government. In the official pavilion, the salt transport envoy Yan Ming, the salt merchant Chen Sanguan and others were welcoming the salt inspector Jaswen.
