The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles

"Tong'er, where did this topographic map come from?" Chen Jiang asked Chen Tong with a flushed face.

Chen Tong glanced at Jia Jue: "His Highness just drew it stroke by stroke."

"what!"

Chen Jiang's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he looked at Jia Jue in disbelief:

"This, is this picture drawn by His Highness?"

Jia Jue smiled: "That's right, just now I talked with Ms. Chen about the big and small issues in the world, so I drew this picture."

"Smooth...smooth?" Chen Jiang couldn't help raising his voice, "If the imperial court has exhausted manpower, material and financial resources, it can't be done, His Highness can do it smoothly?"

In the era of cold weapons, an accurate map is absolutely of great significance, especially when fighting in unfamiliar places.

And Jia Jue's map not only draws the main terrain in the Han territory, but even the terrain of the surrounding countries in detail, which is of great strategic significance.

That's why Chen Jiang called it a rare treasure.

Chen Tong said with a smile: "Grandfather, this is indeed done by His Highness, I have seen it with my own eyes."

Chen Jiang's face was full of excitement, and he didn't care about other things. He rolled up the map and was about to go outside.

Such a rare treasure naturally had to be known to Zhao Qi and the court.

Jia Jue stopped him with a smile: "Master Chen, wait a minute, this matter is not urgent. The most urgent matter now is the matter of the crops."

Chen Jiang slapped his head, and quickly said to him: "Your Highness's words are very true, the old minister is rude."

He placed the map carefully, and then talked with Jia Jue about the crops.

"Your Highness, after the public notice was issued, many people came to the yamen of the household department, but they refused to ask for five taels of silver, saying that they could not burden the court." Chen Jiang reported to Jia Juehui.

Jia Jue chuckled lightly when he heard the words, as expected of the people of the big man, he was simple.

"It's quite simple. Tell them that this money must be taken. If you don't take it, you will be a burden to the court. If you don't take it, you will be funding foreign enemies." Jia Jue said.

"what?"

Chen Jiang was stunned when he heard the words. He couldn't understand what Jia Jue said.

Why don't you take money, but become an enemy instead?
"Your Highness..." He couldn't help but want to ask.

Chen Tong hastily coughed lightly, interrupting him.

He looked at Chen Tong, then at Jia Jue, hesitated for a while, and finally agreed.

Jia Jue smiled and continued: "Master Chen, I heard that you sold your family property?"

"This... can't be hidden from His Highness." Chen Jiang said hastily, "The old minister has no property, so he can only use this method to share his worries for His Majesty."

"Why is Master Chen doing this?" Jia Jue shook his head, took out a pouch from his pocket and handed it to him.

Chen Jiang hastily declined.

"How can I let my lord pay for his affairs by himself? My lord will take care of it." Jia Jue said with a trace of indisputability.

Chen Jiang couldn't beat Jia Jue, so he could only accept it.

But when he saw the number in the purse, he hurriedly said:
"Your Highness, there are too many. Please take it back, Your Highness."

What Jia Jue gave was several times what he paid.

Jia Jue said with a smile, "It's okay, it's the king's tea money."

Chen Jiang wanted to decline again, but Jia Jue didn't give him a chance at all, so he just said goodbye and left.

After seeing off Jia Jue, Chen Tong said softly to Chen Jiang, "Grandfather, am I very smart?"

Chen Jiang followed her advice, not only won Jia Jue's favor, but also made a lot of money.

Chen Jiang looked at her, sighed slightly, and said in his heart:
"My silly girl, don't you have to send the extra money back to you as a dowry with interest?"

……

This matter was carried out under Jia Jue's "willing to go his own way" and Zhao Qi's "turning a deaf ear".

Of course, the matter is not over. After all, there are many people who look down on this matter, and many people are waiting for how this matter will end.

See how much money you can get out of spending so much money.

Under their attention, time slowly moved forward, but when the crops were being harvested, a major event attracted everyone's attention.

Gao Gouli's main force was defeated and the emperor was captured, which was when it was at its weakest.

At this time, Fusang brazenly dispatched troops, and occupied more than [-] cities of Gaogouli in a row.

This news shocked the government and the public. Now half of Gao Gouli belongs to the big man. Fusang's actions are like sending troops to attack the big man.

In this regard, many ministers advised Zhao Qi one after another, requesting to send troops to fight the Fusang Kingdom, and to promote the prestige of the Han Dynasty.

As in the past, if there is a war faction, there will naturally be a peace faction.

Even the views of the peace faction are the same as before. At this time, the big man is too busy to take care of himself, and the treasury is empty, so it is not suitable for war.

Especially in recent years, Fusang's development momentum is excellent, and its national strength is booming.

Once the battle situation falls into a stalemate, it will be extremely unfavorable to the big man.

However, before the quarrel between the officials of the two factions was over, bad news came from Miao Jiang again.

Shocking changes took place in the Tuhou Kingdom. The old emperor of the Tuhou Kingdom was stabbed to death. Li Dong, the younger brother of the old emperor, took control of the government of the Tuhou Kingdom.

After Li Dong came to power, he immediately investigated the cause of the old emperor's death, only to find out that the assassin was a Han Chinese.

So Li Dong brazenly sent troops to the big man under the banner of avenging the emperor.

In just a moment, the big man fell into the dilemma of being attacked from both sides.

Such a situation made the dispute between the main war faction and the main peace faction more intense, and the scale was unprecedentedly large. Almost all courtiers joined the storm.

After all, this is a major event related to the country and the country.

And the court meeting, which was originally orderly, has also become like a vegetable market, with both sides arguing with each other and fighting with each other.

Zhao Qi sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy face and said nothing.

It's not that he doesn't intend to speak, in fact, he doesn't know what to say.

He is the emperor, so he naturally knows the situation of the court very well.

He also wanted to fight, but unfortunately, the conditions did not allow it.

But if you don't fight, why don't you just watch the two hungry wolves biting the big man without doing anything?

Miaojiang has just been pacified, will it be handed over to the Tuhou country?
Gao Gouli has just been ceded, will he be snatched by Fusang before he gets it?

cannot!Never!

If he really did this, then he will be infamous for thousands of years and will never be able to turn himself over.

But, wars cost money!Now the imperial court can't support a big battle at all!

hateful!

He patted the dragon chair bitterly, extremely annoyed.

And this shot also made everyone look at him, they were all waiting for his final order.

Whether it is the main battle or the main peace, this matter cannot be delayed.

But Zhao Qi had no idea at this time, how could he know what to say.

And at this moment, a voice suddenly sighed:

"If I hadn't planted that crop before, maybe there is still some silver in the treasury, so it wouldn't be so difficult."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to Jia Jue.
