Jia She, Chief Assistant of the Red Chamber

Because of the local tyrant Dali Temple, when Jia She went back, he got on the horse.It's a pity that Jia Amnesty is still not very good at rushing, even with a grandfather and father who follow on horseback to fight the world.

For Jia Amnesty, horses are just a way of traveling to maintain his demeanor. Even if he hunts in autumn, there are guards to shoot, okay.So when the demeanor changed to eating loess behind others, Jia Amnesty fell silent.But people need face. For the sake of the Jia family's reputation, Jia Amnesty forcibly followed the footsteps of the crowd all the way, and finally returned home with a "loess face", directly paralyzed on the bed, and let the servants wait on the grooming.

On the other hand, after Cui Yu went back to the Yamen to pay attention to the affairs of the government office for the past two days, Bian Shaoqing and Song Xueci changed their slightly sour clothes, and after reporting the progress of the latest case, the three of them visited Jia's house successively.

The word plague, if there is no real evidence to report it, it is completely a scam!And even if it is prevention, there must be a regulation.The most simple and realistic point is that the Ministry of Household Affairs did not have a budget for the "second large-scale plague prevention" last year!The previous routine rodent control activities were nothing more than the dispensing of medicines by the Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine after the spring plowing every year, and free distribution.If in the future, if you want to kill rat poison, you have to buy it from the animal husbandry and veterinary department yourself!

Jia She was woken up in a daze, and couldn't help poking his head to the window, pointing to the moon plate hanging high in the night, "That's not the sun, it's the moon! These people won't be tired!"

Muttering, Jia Amnesty put on his clothes and came to the lobby to meet the guests. His eyes turned around and around the three of them, feeling that he couldn't hold back his words: "You...don't you take a break? Master Cui is fine, Master Bian And Master Song, the two of you with black eye circles are about to become Shu cats who have paid tribute to Sichuan Shu."

"It is necessary to solve the case." Song Xueci replied proudly, "If we didn't sleep and forget food and sleep, how could the case come to light?"

Bian Shaoqing smiled bitterly silently.Originally, even if the plague existed, it had nothing to do with the authority of Dali Temple.But who is called Song loves the site survey.This will not prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants, and improve the environment of the whole capital.Yu Siqing secretly picked up the abacus with him and calculated it. Their Dali Temple saw that it is easy to invite the gods, but it is difficult to give them away.

Cui Yu smiled helplessly.After thinking about it, he planned to ask Jia Amnesty about the credibility of the news about the plague when there was no one at night.Even if he can only be trusted with five points, as the Governor of Shuntian, he has to make preparations in advance.

The corners of Jia She's mouth twitched, but he also accepted the words and deeds of being so passionate about his work. As for him, he is now just a low-rank judge, so no matter how the Shangguan's brain twitches, he has to follow his brains twitching.

People in officialdom, this is the fate of petty officials!

Asking the servants to serve strong tea, Jia Amnesty asked about his intentions.

Hearing that the two groups of people came to prevent the plague, and wanted to discuss a charter, Jia She yawned. He always felt that the three of them were serious and annoying, so he directly pointed to the point: "What charter do you need? ? Isn’t it just money? I’ll contribute a sum, you contribute some, and I’ll ask Zhen’er to contribute another sum, and then I’ll ask Daniel to contribute another sum. If it’s not enough to cry poorly in front of the emperor’s uncle, it’s enough to make up? Save other departments from talking nonsense."

Song Xueci, who never arrived first and was included, was ashamed of this: "Master Jia, you can't count me, the student has no food left at home."

Jia Amnesty couldn't help rolling his eyes for a moment.Well, even if Uncle Anqing is just a niece, Concubine Hui always has a dowry and a private house, right?Concubine Hui has only a son like Lao Ba, how can she make people so poor? !A dignified prince, and he still has a heart of loving the people. The prince who loves to solve crimes is actually making excuses and crying for poverty. I despise him!

"I really have no money." Song Xueci sighed deeply, and said, "My concubine is my concubine, and she hasn't left yet. Doesn't she keep this private dowry for herself? How much can I have? It's true that my daughter-in-law has a dowry. How can a man use her money? It's already embarrassing not to let her be like her sisters-in-law. I have no family, no other income, and I don't know how to run a farm. It depends on what old man Yu thinks! The rest of the month is only 1000 taels, which is not enough to give a birthday gift. It is so hard that I have to say that Dali Temple is busy every time and I don’t have time! Otherwise, I can’t wait to put the shackles on those brothers’ necks, just ask How did you make a lot of money. Before, I still had a monthly salary. According to the five-rank law, the officials gave me six taels of silver every month! So poor, so poor that I want to sell the palace, and change to a smaller one! It costs money to maintain such a big place every year!"

Talking about the hard life behind his glamor as a prince, Song Xueci couldn't help but take the case, and looked at Jia She excitedly: "Thinking about it, it's better to be your teacher. There are twelve taels a month. I heard that after three years of service, I will give you a tael." Good land?"

"Okay, okay, send it off," Jia Amnesty sighed.After thinking about it, it is true that Prince Qingshui is more difficult than an upright official, after all the other brothers are all rich and noble.

After finishing speaking, Jia Amnesty hurriedly concluded: "The matter of money is settled like this. There is nothing else to say. It's okay. You can rest in the guest room. It will be dawn again in a blink of an eye."

"Although we have heard about the plague, the investigation of the case still cannot be stopped. Therefore, we have to investigate again tomorrow, and then we will still use the name of Shuntian government servant." Bian Shaoqing got up and nodded at Cui Yu: "I still hope that Cui Yu Adults can cooperate."

"Your Majesty, you are being polite." Cui Yu replied with a smile: "Tomorrow, I will ask Yan Butou to accompany you to cooperate with your lord in the autopsy."

"Thank you."

Bian Shaoqing was very satisfied when he got the promise and heard that the local tyrant Jia Amnesty had no shortage of money to contribute, so he asked Song Xueci to follow the host's arrangement to rest with the excuse of recharging his energy to investigate the case.

Before Song Xueci left, it was quite difficult to suppress his "poverty", so he patted Jia She's hand and strongly invited Jia She to take a post in Dali Temple.

Jia Amnesty was startled: "Then why don't you come to Shuntian Mansion?"

Song Xueci was quite patient with the benefactor, and explained kindly: "The local government government has other miscellaneous and trivial matters. It is not like Dali Temple, which supervises cases and specializes in investigating corrupt officials! It is very suitable for my king! No matter how hard the backing is, it won't be as strong as this king!"

"Okay!" Jia She was full of pride when he heard the words: "Do it well, do it well, I will give you a raise for the common people! Anyway, my money comes from my father and grandfather, it is very clean!"

"Okay." Song Xueci nodded reservedly.He knew that Jia She had a good life and was willing to work with Jia She because of her inheritance of wealth.

Speaking of which, compared to the prince, he felt that it was better to devote himself to the Jia family, especially the Ning mansion.

Jia Zhen has more money than Jia She, and there are boxes of family heirlooms, boxes, boxes!

Even if he doesn't have any ambitions, he is still very jealous of people's good lives!

The population of the family is simple, with only one seedling and one branch, and I don’t worry about my brothers competing for the title of family property. Even if I can’t become a martial artist, my father doesn’t say a word of nonsense. It’s not like him. He studied hard since he was a child, and finally he was able to do what he likes. career, and was suspected of playing with the judiciary.It doesn't matter if you marry a daughter-in-law, and the Yue's family can easily figure it out. How is it like him?

Hey.

If you have the ability, don't send it to the palace for draft, just put down the brand.Once in the palace, isn't it just following his father's will?

The eighth prince Song thought about it, and felt that his father was a bit wise, so it would save trouble if he closed them all!At the very least, there is no need to compare with rouge, gouache and headgear, and he can save a lot of money a month because of it! 300 taels of silver!

Yes, he is the housekeeper of the Eighth Prince's Mansion, no matter the front yard or the backyard, he is the housekeeper!

He is not afraid of being ridiculed, anyway, he lives with a clear conscience!

Watching Shaoqing and Song Xueci leave here, Jia She took a sip of tea to refresh himself, and glanced back at Cui Yu who hadn't moved yet and obviously had something to do: "Are you sleepy?"

Cui Yu frowned: "Although it is true that Shuntian Prefecture does not have this budget this year, if there are enough materials to prove the possibility of the plague, they can still apply for funds to the Ministry of Household Affairs, then..."

"When you talk like this, it might be next year. But the plague waits for no one!" Jia She said, "Besides, the household department is a stingy cock. It's true that the emperor's uncle can let him take care of the money bag." Make the most of it.”

Under normal circumstances, he doesn't like to deal with the household department.Regardless of whether Zhang Dashangshu got involved in the fight for the heir apparent intentionally or unintentionally, anyway, he was very tired of the old lady of the Zhang family. Lord of marriage.

Fortunately, Zhang Dashangshu still had a clear mind, so he went directly to Jia's house and invited his old lady back.

Jia Amnesty was also absent, and told Cui Yu about his relationship with the Zhang family, saying, "Although this has nothing to do with officialdom, it's just a matter of family affairs, but my personal emotions affect government affairs, so Master Cui, even if I pay for this money myself, don’t worry about it. Even if the whole Shuntian Mansion is protected from insects and rodents, it’s only about [-] silver, right?”

Cui Yu gasped: "Jia Amnesty, you really need to reshape your view of money. Now that the dynasty is in good weather, the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful, it is not harsh on commerce and trade, and shipping is booming. It’s only about 400 million taels. Once you open your mouth, it’s one-tenth of the tax.”

Jia Amnesty blinked innocently.In his previous life, he had few opportunities to touch the account book, but in this life, he directly dumped the account book to the emperor, and he really never had to worry about supporting his family.

"But..." Jia Amnesty thought for a while, "But the old saying is good, when you gather water, you can form a sea. I have seen the number of household registrations before, and there are probably 30 people registered in the capital, and there are also many beggars and refugees. .Give them medicine kits to kill rats, and then those dirty mud figurines covered with fleas have to be cleaned, and those corners and corners that are dark all year round should also be cleaned, and then those old bedding and clothes, etc. Throw away what should be thrown away, sometimes the plague is spread like this, anyway, I don’t think it’s enough.”

Hearing this, Cui Yu rejoiced at Jia She's bodhisattva heart, while patiently telling Jia She about the life of the poor.

"Enhou, I can't wait for you rich people to give all the money to the common people, but everything has to be done step by step." Cui Yu's face became more serious: "When we live only to have enough food, we are busy every day just to For the next meal, you have been living like this for more than ten years. The tattered clothes and bedding in your eyes may be the most decent attire. To put it bluntly, you have put your heart into it and gave it to Mrs. Lu’s family They are all very practical things, but the old lady, have you paid attention to them? She is still wearing patched clothes, and there is still brown rice with husks in her rice tank..."

"It's not that they are tomb thieves for atonement. I know now!" Jia She retorted: "Next time I will bring a monk or Taoist priest to perform a ritual, and go tell them that the atonement has been completed!"

After all, it is true, if the life of the eighth prince is saved because of this, what is it but atonement?At the very least, with Lao Ba here, no matter what the emperor's uncle would choose the Ninth Prince!

He also has inside information. According to "Xiao Gongju", the crown prince has a mental illness, and this is Miao Miao, who was inspected by No. [-]!Otherwise, he would have returned Master Song long ago.Master is too diligent, as an adult, he is very stressed.

Cui Yu rubbed his head, changed the angle, and asked, "What do you usually do when you receive delicious food?"

"Eat!" Jia She felt that Cui Yu probably didn't have a good rest, which was abnormal.For the common people, his series of measures are no less than money dropped from the sky. Who would be unhappy?

"But ordinary people who have been poor all their lives will be reluctant!" Cui Yudao: "Let me tell you, I was selected as a scholar back then, and I had endowment rice to get it. But I was studying in the government at that time, and I ate cornbread pickles brought from home every day. I just want to take home the not-so-white white rice for my dad to eat. I go home once a year, because even if I walk back by myself, I will spend [-] cents for the cheapest trip. I brought home the rice that I had been eating for a year. At that time, my father was alone. He told me to eat, but he also hid it. Three years later, when I was going to marry a wife, I took stock of the family's money and found the fat rats in the rice jar."

Jia Amnesty was taken aback.

"It's true that warehouses know etiquette, and food and clothing know honor and disgrace." Cui Yu said in a deep voice, "This is not just my father and I's thoughts, but most ordinary people will be like this, and they will want to save money. Save. You don’t want to prevent it all at once, do you? Or can you afford to spend so much money every year? If you want to form good hygiene habits for a long time, the most fundamental thing is to start with food. Let them survive and have enough to eat , if you say other things, they will change their thinking and understand."

"Even if I don't pay, I will not agree with you to do such a one-off with little effect. Your family's money is not blown by a strong wind. Even if Boss Niu sees your affection, he can contribute. But his money Is it for nothing? Sea transportation is also risky."

Cui Yu slowly made a final conclusion: "You have to spend your money wisely."

Jia Amnesty: "..."

"And there are other considerations besides money." Cui Yu looked at Jia Amnesty who was in a daze, thought for a while, and continued cruelly: "There are material resources and manpower to do these things. Now the autumn harvest is busy, and after the busyness is over The Mid-Autumn Festival, the Longevity Festival after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and security work such as the entry of various dependent countries to Beijing... People's energy is limited, too many burdens are pressed down, and the burden will be lifted."
