In this battle, although Da Zhou lost 150,000 people, he also killed more than 100,000 enemies at the same time. It was a tie, and although Zhao Mingliang was defeated, he was able to save 3 million guns. , Some demanded severe punishment, and some said that they should not hurt the hearts of the soldiers. Although they were defeated, they fought desperately.
The final decision was that Zhao Mingliang's temporarily serving as Generalissimo of the Army and Horses would be deprived of his post, the rest of the generals who participated in the battle would be demoted by half a rank, and their salaries would be fined for three months.
Cheng Jia's ears were buzzing, 30 million guns, 150,000 people died, but these people in the court were not concerned with the 150,000 people who died, but with the 30 million guns, At the beginning, the Wang family proposed to raise funds by selling tea and salt, and more than half of these tea and salt were bought by merchants behind these high-ranking officials. to their fundamental interests.
"I have a suggestion." Emperor Xi Wen who was sitting on the dragon chair was already very impatient, he still wanted to go back and continue to play with those two beautiful boys. He has been arguing with you here for an hour, but what did he do to draw it out? Seeing Wang Xiang standing up, he said impatiently: "Say!"
"In the past, those merchants liked to hoard tea and salt, which is why this situation happened. As long as the emperor ordered, this year, only new ones can be used to exchange goods, and old ones must be discounted to receive goods. Then those merchants can be prevented from hoarding. If you always attract huge profits, secondly, you can increase the huge income of the imperial court." Wang Xiang said word for word.
Cheng Jia's heart was shocked, and before he could speak out in the future, he heard Emperor Xiwen say cheerfully: "That's very good, I will do as you said, and retreat!"
"Qiao Mu!" Mei Donghua helped Cheng Jia's shoulder, and when there were fewer people around, he half-supported him to the sedan chair outside the palace, and said at the same time: "You are not in good health, so don't come today Well, right and left is the result, you should be able to imagine, now that Yang Zhao has rectified his name, forget about the others.”
Cheng Jia smiled wryly, got on the sedan chair with sloppy steps, thanked Mei Donghua, and told the sedan chair to set off.
Looking at the gradually bustling streets on both sides, I remembered that Wang Xiangna completely ruined the proposals of those small and medium businessmen in order to ensure the interests of this exchange, and Emperor Xiwen, who was very happy to hear that the court could get money, agreed. , and thinking about his father who was wise and safe, and Mei Donghua who was still struggling with the people in Heishuiguan following the second prince, Cheng Jia suddenly felt very powerless.
"Go to Duke Dingguo's Mansion." After giving instructions to the bearer, Cheng Jia was stunned. He subconsciously wanted to go there, but what would happen after he went? what can i say It can be said that what you said is correct, but even so, he is still my king? Is this you too
As soon as he approached the entrance of the alley, the sedan chair stopped. Cheng Jia opened the curtain of the sedan chair with a fan, and saw a large group of gray-clothed men riding tall horses parked in front of Duke Dingguo's mansion. I got out of the sedan chair under control, did someone come to trouble her so soon
"Brother Meng?!" A big man ran out of the door, shouting in surprise.
Cheng Jia stopped in her tracks, watched the group of people and the bodyguard who came out shoulder to shoulder and went in, and smiled self-deprecatingly, maybe this is the bodyguard who came to reinforce, yes, what she needs him is only when The appeal of the scholars, in fact, I'm afraid she doesn't necessarily need this point, she said very clearly that her country does not need such pedantic scholars who don't know common affairs and only know how to talk.
her country...
Standing at the entrance of the alley, watching the street in front of the Duke's Mansion return to calm, a personal guard glanced at him, and then slammed the gate. The sound of the door bolt falling brought Cheng Jia back to his senses. I only felt miserable and unspeakable in my heart, and the smell of blood gushed into my mouth again.
Don't you want to see me anymore
"Master?" the bearer called softly.
Cheng Jia got into the sedan chair, and after a long while, he made a sound: "Let's go."
As soon as she got off the sedan chair in front of the mansion, Qin An hurried down the stairs, approached Cheng Jia and said, "My lord, Mrs. Wu is here."
Cheng Jia was startled, and it took him a while to remember who Mrs. Wu was, the wife of a doctor from the Ministry of Industry, and his mother's distant cousin. After being driven away by him, I haven't come to the door for several years, why come again
"What's the matter?" Cheng Jia coughed a few times while holding the hand on the desk, and walked slowly into the gate of the mansion.
"I didn't say it, I'm waiting in the flower hall of the main courtyard, I said I came to see you." Qin An whispered. This Mrs. Wu, the four of them have suffered a lot in her hands. When they see her, they are a little scared. She is really troublesome!
As soon as he walked into the gate of the main courtyard, he heard an angry female voice in the flower hall yelling loudly at the servants. Cheng Jia frowned slightly, let go of the desk, brushed the dust on the corner of his clothes, and then changed into the usual clothes. That approachable smile stepped into the flower hall.
"Once my sister is away, you will be left alone?" Mrs. Wu was slapping the table, when she saw Cheng Jia coming in, she immediately put on a bright smile, stood up and said, "Brother Jia is back? Auntie has been waiting for you for a long time. Look at your house, your father is busy every day, and you actually ask an aunt to take care of things. What kind of chaos is this house? I’m afraid you father and son are left alone! How can this work, brother Jia Son, you have to get married quickly, you still need a serious mistress at home!"
"Auntie, please sit down." Cheng Jia avoided her enthusiastic slobber, made a gesture of invitation, and then sat on the companion seat by herself.
Mrs. Wu wanted to go back to the main seat where she was originally seated, but when Cheng Jia glanced at her, she reluctantly sat in the guest seat.
"Sister Yue, this is your cousin Jiage." As soon as she sat down, Madam Wu said to the girl who had been standing quietly behind her with a doting smile.
"Brother Jia~" The girl stepped forward and saluted, her posture was impeccable, and she didn't even move her skirt.
Cheng Jia saw her when she entered the door. At this moment, she already knew the purpose of Mrs. Wu's visit, and when she got up to return the gift, she took two extra glances without being noticed.
Although the girl is only thirteen or fourteen years old, she is already the embryo of a beauty. One can imagine what kind of beauty she will have in the future, and her clothes and manners are a model for everyone.
"This is Sister Yue from the third room. You should know her brother, Wu Feiren who was a prostitute a few years ago." Mrs. Wu took Wu Yue's hand and said with a smile.
Cheng Jia just smiled lightly, lowered his eyes, took a sip of the tea brought by the maid, and said, "Why is Auntie here?"
Mrs. Wu was taken aback, her face turned a little ugly, but after thinking about it, if the Cheng family and the Wu family could get married and her status in the family could improve, she held back her anger and said with a smile: "Brother Jia, look What are you talking about, even if your aunt comes to see you? Do you have to do something? Look at you, your face is as white as paper, even if there is no one in the room! That's great, didn't you keep saying that you want to find someone who can play the piano with you? Or, now you take Miss Yue to see your piano room?"
As soon as these words came out, even Wu Yue's face couldn't be tense, this aunt was too... But looking at Cheng Jia, who was still unparalleled despite her sick face, Wu Yue's heart was moved, and her face was flushed. There was a trace of crimson, and he hurriedly lowered his head. I heard that Cheng Jia is a master of both piano and calligraphy, and the six arts of a gentleman are not bad, but he seldom plays the piano in front of outsiders, and it is even rarer to drink the best tea he ordered. Saying it among the sisters is a great way to save face.
"Concubine..." As soon as the book desk called out, Mrs. Wu had already stared angrily and said, "Do you have a place to speak here?"
Cheng Jia laughed lowly, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, and said with a smile: "I want to listen to Cheng's piano, what reward does my aunt plan to offer?"
Mrs. Wu's face paled immediately, and before she could say anything, Cheng Jia had already stood up, and said: "My mother passed away many years ago, and our aunt is not close to us, so let's take care of our own affairs in the future, book case, see off guests."
"You!" Mrs. Wu's mouth trembled angrily. Seeing that Cheng Jia finished speaking, she left without giving any leeway, and the book case was already in the posture of seeing off guests. No matter how shameless she was, it was impossible for her to stay again. He could only flick his sleeves and leave angrily.
"My lord, the person has already been sent away." Walking lightly behind Cheng Jia who was standing under the tree looking at the mottled shadow of the tree, Shuan replied in a low voice.
"Shu'an, do you still remember Lingjia Village?" Before hearing Cheng Jia's response, Shu'an was about to retreat when Cheng Jia asked softly.
"Remember." Shuan stopped and stood behind him and replied. That name is a forbidden word, and it must never be said. Why did you bring it up today
"If it were you, would you rather live in that place, or in this kind of life?" Cheng Jia said in a weak voice, still looking at the light leaking from the cracks in the trees.
"My lord, can we tell the truth?" Looking at Cheng Jia and nodding, he wrote on the desk, "Of course it's a place like Lingjia Village."
In such a free place, regardless of men, women and children, everyone earns income through their own labor, and the relationship between superiors and subordinates is strict, but they will not be deprived of dignity just because they are subordinates. Regardless of their positions, people there are equal in personality. of.
