The Pearl of the Prosperous Age of Red Mansions

battleship.

But this time the secret envoy to Fujian was not Xiao Ze as originally expected, but Zhizao Mansion. Jia Zhu later found out that Chen Xueying and his wife went deep into Luhua Island for a series of things.

At this time, Jia Zhu also praised the emperor's move to divert attention. It can be said that this was done without anyone noticing. Even if people saw the clues in the future, it was a done deal.

As for the very popular Governor of Shipping, most of the Household Department supports the Minister of the Household Department. After all, although the Water Transport Yamen was also affiliated to the Household Department before, it had a detached status. It took a day or two, and everyone naturally didn't want the newly established yamen to be occupied by the original crew of the water transportation yamen.

Some wise ones saw the support of the third prince behind Wan Shilang, and those who wisely protected themselves and did not want to get involved in the struggle of the princes and cause the emperor's dissatisfaction kept silent, and there was also a faint undercurrent in the household department.

The day soon came to the first meeting of the junior high school. When he came out of the house in the morning, Jia Zheng also talked with Jia Zhu about the Maritime Governor who will be released today. It is quite a criticism that the shipyard is under the jurisdiction of the shipping office rather than under the unified jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry.

"Could it be that the emperor is dissatisfied with the Ministry of Industry?" In the end, Jia Zheng was also a little apprehensive.

Hearing his father's complaint, Jia Zhu couldn't help laughing and said: "The shipyard also manufactures warships, so it's not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. The emperor seems to attach great importance to this shipping this time. The job of the shipping governor seems to be a good job, but if you do Not good, this person can't sit still, if something goes wrong at that time, it's a small thing to be demoted, but it's even more serious to lose the Sacred Heart."

Jia Zheng also felt that it made sense, so he nodded frequently, thinking that the Ministry of War did not take care of the warships, so it can be seen that the emperor was not targeting the Ministry of Industry. The position of the Maritime Governor is indeed a sight to behold, but it is actually very tricky.

Having said this, the father and son got into their sedan chairs, with Jia Zheng in front and Jia Zhu in the back. The two sedan chairs arrived outside the gate of the Forbidden City. Then the father and son walked towards the Chaotang on foot, and met several familiar adults on the way. , and chatted with each other.

After entering the gate of the main hall, Jia Zhu took a look. Usually there were only a few people in the main hall at this time, but today the sun came out from the west, and people came early enough, and the atmosphere in the main hall was obviously stronger than usual Much more tense.

When the emperor came to the court, the civil and military ministers stood according to their ranks, and the first few books they played were innocuous matters, until Li Kuan, the minister of the household department, came out and recommended Shen Mingqi, the servant of the household department, as the governor of shipping.

Haiyun Yamen belongs to the Ministry of Households, so there is nothing wrong with being recommended by the Ministry of Households, but Li Kuan's appearance really surprised Jia Zhu, because even if it was recommended by the Ministry of Households, it should be Li Shangshu from the Ministry of Households, not this Li Shilang?

At this time, the emperor asked the eunuch to take over the resume of Shen Mingqi who was recommended. He was watching it on the dragon chair for a while, and then put it aside. He didn't say anything about the recommendation from the Ministry of Household Affairs. Instead, his eyes fell on the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. .

"Does the Ministry of Officials have any recommendations?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials rushed out of the queue, and was just one step ahead of the people from the Ministry of Households. The Minister of the Ministry of Officials was annoyed in his heart. He just looked at the emperor and then carefully looked at the resume. He was afraid that the matter would be settled if the emperor nodded. Isn't that a bad game? He lost everything in one move, and his heart was in a panic, but the emperor called him by name, so he was half relieved.

"Back to the emperor, I recommend Wan Huaiyi, the former Governor of Water Transport." After speaking, he also handed over Wan Huaiyi's resume.

The emperor also finished watching and didn't say anything, but let the ministers speak. Now the two factions below expressed their opinions, and the court immediately started arguing.

The emperor looked at the two groups of people who spoke for these two people from above, and glanced at the second prince and the third prince, his face darkened, and he was a little annoyed in his heart. The more joyful the argument below, the more unhappy the emperor was.

At this time, Jia Zhu heard that these people had already stated the advantages of the two adults at the beginning, and then criticized each other's shortcomings. The more they talked, the more angry they became, and he couldn't help but sneak a glance at the emperor.

Although Jia Zhu's position is not close to the emperor, Jia Zhu's eyes are much better than ordinary people's because of her diligent practice of drawing bows and archery. The grown-ups who were spitting all over the place sighed.

The emperor is in his prime, and these years, because of his great power to foreign countries, he has become more and more arbitrary in cutting off internal troubles at home. At this time, he chose to stand in line, which is really courting death. The status is noble, but one day the new emperor ascends the throne, the higher the status who jumps now, the worse it will fall in the future. is rare.

Thinking of this, Jia Zhu couldn't help thinking that his two little brothers, Jia Lian and Jia Cong, had a very close relationship, and Jia Rong, a nephew, was also well-behaved and sensible, leaving only Baoyu. It hurts, but after thinking about it again, forget it, and wait for him to be disciplined together, it is impossible to let him go all the time.

There are some slip-ups on Jia Zhu's side, and their expressions show a different appearance from others. Although some of the others did not make a statement, they also have candidates who support them in their hearts. , and some people felt that it had nothing to do with them at this time, but they were also curious about who could win this position between the two in the end, and they all listened carefully, with another look on their faces.

The emperor was unhappy, and while listening to the quarrel of the people below, his eyes were also scanning the people below, and he could almost see the expressions on everyone's faces. When he saw Jia Zhu, the emperor naturally saw that he was different from others. same come.

This Jia Zhu is really indifferent to who gets the post of governor. Judging by his expression, he doesn't know what he is thinking.Normally, it would be considered a crime of disrespect for Jia Zhu to sneak away like this, but now the emperor is tired of everyone's expressions, and looking at Jia Zhu again makes him feel happy.

Thinking about Jia Zhu, it is not wrong to do errands in the Ministry of Households. I heard that Huang Zening made things difficult for him when he was in the Shandong Division, but he neither disrespected Shangfeng, nor was he passive and sabotage. In just one month, he started from a martial artist to be a Wenchai of the household department. He is really a self-motivated child.

Thinking about serving as an imperial envoy before, Su Zhengqin's zhezi praised Jia Zhu a lot after he came back. The emperor knew that Su Zhengqin was the most upright person. He said that Jia Zhu was good, which really showed that this child was extraordinary. place.

The emperor thought of this, and suddenly his heart moved, Jia Zhu is now in Fujian Division, right?This time, most of the boatmen and sailors in the shipyard under the Shipping Yamen were pirates recruited from Fujian, and Jia Zhu had also dealt with this incident when he followed the emperor's brother in Shandong.

Thinking about it this way, the emperor opened two doors in an instant with no light in his heart, and the emperor also had a smile on his face. It would be nice to let Jia Zhu be the governor, but the emperor is just now. I have some ideas, but I haven't communicated with anyone, and it won't work if I don't have anyone to recommend.

Therefore, the emperor decided not to make a decision on this candidate today, and wait until he retreats to find a suitable person to explain, and then discuss it next time when he goes to court.

However, at this moment, a person came out and raised his voice: "Your Majesty, I also want to recommend someone."

When everyone saw who this person was, it was Su Zhengqin, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture and a scholar of the Cabinet University, who caused the most headaches for everyone. This person is a celebrity in front of the emperor. If you don't eat it, everyone sees that he wants to recommend it, and their hearts thump.

"Oh? Who does Su Aiqing want to recommend?" The emperor still holds Su Zhengqin in high regard. This man is talented and loyal, and he doesn't flirt with his sons.

"I recommend Jia Zhu, a household doctor." After Su Zhengqin finished speaking, the emperor was so happy that he couldn't help but think to himself, Su Aiqing is the one who knows what's on my mind!

On Jia Zhu's side, she was slipping away when she suddenly heard her name, and seeing the silence around her, many people's eyes were on her, she couldn't help being stunned.

At this time the emperor nodded, his eyes fell on Jia Zheng, and he asked, "Jia Aiqing, the Jia Zhu recommended by Su Aiqing is your son, what do you think?"

Jia Zheng, who was named, was also sweating on his forehead at this time. It was the first time he spoke at the court meeting, and he secretly complained, but now he had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, the son of my minister is just a young boy who is not yet young. This is a very important job, I am afraid that he will not be able to take on this job, if there is a mistake, it will be a small matter in the law of the country, and it is a crime worthy of death to be ashamed of the emperor."

Jia Zheng thought that when the father and son left the mansion, they had discussed the position of the Maritime Governor. Looking at the scenery, it was actually very hot. How could he be proud of his son being recommended by Su Zhengqin? Jia Zhu lowered herself into the dust, so as to escape this hot potato.

Who would have known that what Jia Zheng said was true to the emperor's thoughts. The emperor thought to himself, Jia Zheng is a man who lacks ability but is [-]% loyal. Looking at others, opening and shutting up are all exaggerations. There is no one like Jia Zheng who is unwilling to let his son get this job because he is afraid of disappointing his own expectations and esteem.

Before, the emperor had the idea of ​​letting Jia Zhu take up the post. After Jia Zheng finished speaking, the emperor immediately made a decision. If Jia Zheng knew what he said, it would have the opposite effect.

At this moment, the emperor nodded and said to Jia Zheng, "Jia Aiqing need not be overly alarmed. Although Jia Zhu is still young, he is smart and flexible, and he works diligently in the household department. I think he is good enough to take on the job."

After saying this, it was a golden speech. The two factions in the court who had just fought like a cockfight for the governor's seat were dumbfounded, and the faces of the second prince and the third prince suddenly changed.

It's fine if one of the two wins, how could Cheng Yaojin come out halfway and grab this piece of fat from the hands of the two of them, it's really irritating.

Especially the third prince, he supported the Minister of the Household Department, but in the end the position fell into the hands of the Langzhong of the Household Department, Jia Zhu, which made him very angry. What a good Jia Zhu, on the surface, it seems that nothing is wrong. Guan Ji has no interest, but secretly joins hands with Su Zhengqin to remove his own ladder!This villain who behaves one way on the surface but hides another way, I can't finish with you!

But at this time Jia Zhu heard what her father and the emperor had said, and couldn't help crying inwardly, how could it be so good that this hot job fell on her head?Looking at the envious, pensive, or disdainful expressions of the colleagues next to him, Jia Zhu is so smart, so he naturally knows that these people will have those thoughts in their hearts.

However, he is not afraid of offending the third prince. Now he is asking for trouble to please the prince. Although he does not know who the new emperor is, the emperor is not a fool. The more happy the prince is now, the less likely he is The one that the emperor is satisfied with.

At this moment, the fifteenth prince Xiao Yuan came out and said, "I have a performance."

The emperor saw that it was Xiao Shiwu who had always had a good relationship with Jia Zhu, so he couldn't help but nodded and said, "Speak."

"My minister thinks that it is very inappropriate for Jia Zhu to be the governor of shipping. What Mr. Jia said is very true. Jia Zhu is still young and has no experience in managing water transportation. Shipping is a matter of great importance, and food and grass are related to the imperial court. If there is a mistake in the lifeblood, the imperial court will definitely not be able to bear it, even if Jia Zhu loses his life, it will be difficult to apologize, so please think twice."

Xiao Yuan's words were really beyond the expectations of the emperor and the courtiers. After all, Jia Zhu used to be Xiao Yuan's companion, and it is well known that the two have a good relationship. Zhu's platform, what's the trouble?

Jia Zhu looked over slightly, Xiao Yuan turned his back to him and couldn't see his expression, but he could see the profile of the first Xiao Ze standing in the front, at this moment, he could only see the corners of his mouth slightly curled up. The arc seemed to reveal a smile.

The [-]nd episode of Royal Bi personally approving the promotion to governor Du Yu got married and first heard about it

It was beyond Jia Zhu's expectation that the fifteenth prince objected, and he was slightly surprised, but when he saw Xiao Ze's faint smile, his heart was unusually peaceful.

After calming down, the thoughts in his mind became clear, recalling every sentence of Xiao Yuan, on the surface, every word seemed to be questioning, but invisibly paved all the way for Jia Zhu to escape.Moreover, compared with the two princes who each had their own ideas to praise their lineage, Xiao Yuan, who had a good personal relationship with him but still refuted his words to the point, was immediately superior.

What Jia Zhu thought was right, the emperor felt very relieved after hearing what Xiao Yuan said, the second child and the third child were very tired of the emperor. The prince returned to the ranks, and then said:

"According to my foreword, the governor of water transportation and shipping is planned to be transferred from the household doctor Jia Zhu."

Jia Zhu could not have expected this transfer order, but there is no possibility of the emperor’s exit changing. The first thing Jia Zhu thinks about now is not how to do a good job as the Maritime Governor, but to draw up a recommended candidate first. Well, you don't have to worry too much about choosing this candidate. His subordinate, Wai Lang Wu Ning, is serious in his work, very talented, and honest, so he is really the best choice.

There was a secret in his heart, and sure enough, when he came down to court, the eunuch sent an order to the emperor to summon Jia Zhu. When Jia Zhu came to the imperial study, the emperor's expression became much gentler. Seeing Jia Zhu coming in, he told him to live without courtesy.

Jia Zhu recommended Wu Ning as usual, and the emperor nodded and asked him to hand over Wu Ning's resume tomorrow, and then talked about the Governor of Shipping.

"Changing the river transportation to the sea transportation was a suggestion you personally put forward to me at the beginning. Now it is a safe thing for you to be the governor of the sea transportation."

When Jia Zhu heard this, it was true. It was just that he brought up this idea at that time, in order to still be able to accommodate the pirates who recruited and surrendered, and as a questioning stone to test the attitude of the officials. took this position.

Thanking you again, Jia Zhu naturally said: "I will do my best and dare not betray the emperor's kindness."

The emperor nodded, and suddenly asked: "Today in the hall, Xiao Shiwu refuted you for taking up this position, do you feel wronged?"

Jia Zhu hurriedly said: "I am not wronged, your Highness's words are reasonable, I also think that I am too young and have no such experience, so I am really scared, so my Highness objected, but I was relieved."

The emperor smiled and nodded: "It's a good thing if you think so. It doesn't matter if you are young, you have a broad vision and a broad mind. The shipping business needs young people like you to preside over it."

Jia Zhu thanked her again and again, and then withdrew from the imperial study. After leaving the palace, Jia Zhu went directly to the Haiyun Yamen. Before starting work, Jia Zhu went to the shipyard again, but unlike the Yamen, the shipyard had already been under construction for a long time.

The shipyard was very noisy because construction was underway, and Jia Zhu didn't let the people at the door communicate, so he stood at the door for a long time, and no one noticed that there were more people here, but Jia Zhu had already checked most of these people inside. Actually found two acquaintances, both old friends, the two masters of Luhua Island, Yan Song and Hu Zhi.

Hu Zhi was thin and small, shuttled among the sea ships with the keel frame already built, discussing with the craftsmen next to him from time to time, while Yan Song was surrounded by a group of young men, who seemed to be training sailors.

Jia Zhu looked at it for a while, then turned around and left. Just as he was about to leave, Hu Zhi turned his head and saw someone at the door, so he walked over. As soon as Jia Zhu turned around, Hu Zhi arrived.

"My lord, please stop." Because Jia Zhu was wearing court clothes, Hu Zhi certainly knew that he was an official, but because he didn't see his face clearly, Hu Zhi didn't know that it was Jia Zhu.

Hearing this, Jia Zhu stopped and turned around. Hu Zhi saw it and recognized it. Isn't this the child who was with the prince when he was in Shandong?

Hu Zhi was a little stunned, and it's not his fault. At first, Xiao Ze was the only one the brothers bargained for. No one paid attention to Jia Zhu, even though they knew that Jia Zhu was also an official. Son, but no matter how big the official is, he can still be bigger than the prince. What the prince can't do, can an official be the master?

In addition, Jia Zhu is young, and as the saying goes, if he is a gray-haired old man, maybe they can pay more attention to it.

Seeing Jia Zhu coming to the shipyard now, Hu Zhi's first reaction was: "But what orders does the lord have?"

This is so right, Jia Zhu understood what Hu Zhi meant when he heard it, and couldn't help laughing: "The emperor appointed me as the governor of shipping. I heard that there is a shipyard under the yamen, so I came to see it. I didn't expect that the second head of the family is also here now." here."

There are not many words, just this sentence, Hu Zhi was dumbfounded, the governor of the sea, that is the immediate boss, is it the kid in front of him?The prince's little follower?

Just when Hu Zhi was dumbfounded, Jia Zhu had already said: "The Ministry of Household Affairs still has something to do, so I won't bother you." Then, he left.

When Hu Zhi came back to his senses, Jia Zhu was gone, Hu Zhi stomped his feet, and ran to Yan Song, who was in charge, and murmured, Yan Song was also slightly stunned, the two brothers discussed it, and decided to visit this person in person another day Sir Jia.

Jia Zhu has returned to the Ministry of Households at this time, and now everyone in the Fujian Division knows that Shangfeng has been promoted to the Governor of Shipping. As soon as Jia Zhu returned to the Division, everyone congratulated in unison. Jia Zhu smiled and said: "Everyone Hurry up, the shipping office will really open after a while, and the accounts in Fujian will be in a hurry again."

After hearing this, Wu Ning took the lead and said: "Fortunately, the adults have already brought the low-ranking people to clean up the accounts a while ago, otherwise they will be in a hurry."

Jia Zhu smiled and said to Wu Ning, "I have something to tell you, come with me."

Wu Ning's heart moved after hearing this, and he secretly thought that it might be a good thing that he thought. He followed Jia Zhu to the private courtyard where Jia Zhu worked.

"Tell me, your lord will be promoted, which one of the bridegrooms in our department will be?"

"Last time, Wu Yuanwailang should have been promoted, but the superior was transferred to Jia Langzhong, so Wu Yuanwailang was not able to be promoted. How can it be said that it should be him?"

Everyone talked a lot, but no one was dissatisfied with Wu Ning. Although this person is usually unsmiling, he is not the master of taking Joe. In fact, he is very patient and treats them well. Now they all hope that there will be no more masters in the air. Officials come here, if Mr. Wu can be promoted directly, there will be a Yuanwailang vacant.

At this time, Wu Ning naturally had the same thoughts in his heart, but he was really disappointed last time, so he didn't dare to expect too much, for fear of being disappointed again.

At this time, Jia Zhu nodded to let him sit down, and then said: "After the court today, the emperor ordered me to recommend someone to be the doctor in the department. I think you are very suitable. I will hand over my resume tomorrow. You are ready to prepare now." Well, after all, my time in the company is short, so it's not appropriate for me to draw up my resume, so you can draw up your own."

Wu Ning felt half relieved when he heard that, Jia Zhu was able to recommend him, and he was [-]% sure of the matter. Regardless of whether the emperor might be promoted by himself in the end, Wu Ning now accepted Jia Zhu's affection.

When Wu Ning handed over her resume, Jia Zhu saw that it was indeed Wu Ning's style. The resume looked unpretentious, not even exaggerated. Jia Zhu nodded, and then wrote another copy After arriving at the Fujian Division, he handed over both copies of Wu Ning's comments.

In the end, the emperor issued a decree, and it was indeed Wu Ning who was promoted to the doctor's position. It would be much easier and more convenient for Jia Zhu to hand over to him. The shipping office still needs to be prepared for a few days, but Jia Zhu is not idle. The background of the small official was checked, and he, the governor, could not be a polished commander.

The errands that were finally freed up must face a new round of busyness. At this time, the cousin Du Yu was given a marriage by the emperor to marry the commander of Shenjingwei and the general of Shenwei Xiao Cheng.

Jia Zhu was very happy for his cousin and Xiao Cheng. These two people have been invited since the time of the Northern Expedition. In these years, first, the cousin kept his filial piety, and then Xiao Cheng was extremely busy with his official duties. This time, the emperor named him a great general for the Shandong incident, and bestowed him with great power The general's mansion, the mansion was completed, and this was the marriage.

Xiao Cheng's parents had no choice but to move out of Prince Zhongshun's mansion at this time. The two elders were so determined that they felt that they were servants of the mansion, and no matter how beautiful they were, they were Xiao Ze's slaves. He scolded him for forgetting his origin.

Now the son is married to a daughter-in-law, and he is married to the princess, and the two elders are talking day and night that these are all the grace of the prince. If Xiao Cheng picks up a high branch and forgets his roots, heaven will not allow him.

Xiao Cheng naturally would not refute his parents, not to mention that he was grateful to the prince from the bottom of his heart. When he first found out that he was attracted to Du Yu, no matter what, he would never have imagined that one day he would get a marriage gift from the emperor and marry her in.

As relatives, the Jia family also went to the Du mansion to add makeup to Du Yu. Jia's mother even sighed: "Back then, her mother married the general, and now Yu'er is also married to the general. It's really a mother-daughter nature, not bad at all. of!"

At the wedding banquet, Jia Zhu was not needed to hold back Xiao Cheng's wine, Shen Jingwei and a group of strong men stood in one place like a wall, who could drink them down?Xiao Cheng was happily being his bridegroom. Jia Zhu saw that the groom had already entered the bridal chamber, so there was no need to go on drinking too much. He glanced at Xiao Ze who was at the other table, and the other party was also looking at him. Both of them could see that According to each other's intentions, they each left the general's mansion while everyone was drunk and no one was paying attention.

The General's Mansion walked through three alleys to the Zuiyun Building. The two entered the backyard, and naturally hugged each other through their slight drunkenness.

After abstinence for half a year, Xiao Ze is now like a boiling volcano, burning fiercely without touching it, and Jia Zhu is not much better. He is also a young man with full blood, even though his mentality is very mature, his body cannot help it. Reason calls the shots.

His face was flushed and his body was hot, the opponent's fingers were so dexterously nimble, and his mouth was also so warm that it made people crazy. Jia Zhu panted and dropped his helmet and armor for a while, and then lost his mind again amidst the deeper stimulation.

"You, do you want a child?" When both of them were exhausted, Xiao Ze hugged Jia Zhu and asked in his ear, his voice was low and hoarse, but the sexiness of the affair still remained, but Jia Zhu heard this , but broke free from Xiao Ze's arms.

"What do you mean by that?" Jia Zhu raised his eyebrows.

"Every time I hear you mention your younger brothers, I think you like children very much." Xiao Ze smiled and reached out to smooth Jia Zhu's brow.

"I watched Lian'er and the others grow up. I guess I spent all my patience on them." Brothers and sons are of course different.But thinking of doing this kind of intimate thing with someone he doesn't like, just to continue a child, Jia Zhu doesn't want to do it.

"This time Mrs. Yang of the Weaving Bureau found a special child in Fuzhou Mansion. I got the news here. Would you like to hear it?" Xiao Ze suddenly turned to this place, and Jia Zhu thought for a while before reacting. Mrs. Yang of the Weaving Bureau was Chen Xueying back then, and now her husband's family name is Chen.

"What special child?" Jia Zhu asked.

"If the news is correct, he should be a child of your Jia family, and the child's mother is a girl sold by your mansion." After Xiao Ze finished speaking, Jia Zhu was really shocked.

"Do you know the maid's name?"

"She died just after giving birth. Her name had been changed several times at that time, and no one knew her original name." After Xiao Ze finished speaking, he sighed: "Listen to Mrs. Yang, look at that The child's features are very similar to yours, and she once told others that she once served the master in the Rongguo Mansion, and she was furious after being found out by her aunt, so she sold her out. In the hands of my aunt, I didn't know that I was pregnant at the time, otherwise I wouldn't be able to fall into such a field no matter what."

Xiao Zexue had no tone in his words, but Jia Zhu was relieved when he heard it. Since it was sold by his aunt, it has nothing to do with the two wives. If it was Mrs. Hu or his own mother, he might be pregnant with Jiamen's flesh and blood. Jia Zhu didn't know how to face this matter after selling her girl.

"I have ordered people to investigate, and I can always find out which aunt sold her. However, Fuzhou is far away from Beijing, and it will take a long time for the news to reach back. Counting the days when the first batch of overseas The boat can also test the waters, and when the time comes, you, the chief officer, must make a tour, and it would be great if you can go to Fuzhou in person." Xiao Ze smiled after finishing speaking.

Jia Zhu was taken aback for a moment, and then glared: "If it is confirmed, then he is my younger brother. Could it be that you still want him to be my son?"

"Why not? This can also save a lot of trouble."

Jia Zhu was a little moved when he heard this. At that time, he thought of getting Zhang Youshi to help, of course he could avoid future troubles, but he also saw the sadness of his grandmother and father at that time. I feel a little guilty, but if this child can pretend to be my own blood, my grandmother can also be a grandparent with four generations under one roof, so I can talk about it in relief.

Seeing Jia Zhu's heartbeat, Xiao Ze couldn't help but smile complacently: "My method must be excellent, how about it, how can you thank me?"

Jia Zhu stood up and looked at him, then bent down, opened her mouth to suck his weak little guy first, then raised her head and smiled, "I want you to be happy too."

Xiao Ze's little brother shuddered, another good time after a long night.

When returning home the next day, the result of excessive indulgence was very obvious. Jia Zhu felt that she could not straighten her waist, and Xiao Ze also had a back pain. Seeing Jia Zhu's appearance, he hurriedly asked what's the matter, Jia Zhu said that he drank too much yesterday and slept in the general's mansion all night, and now he feels a little drunk.

Mother Jia hurriedly sent someone to make hangover soup, and then asked Jia Zhu to go back to the room to rest quickly. Naren Tuoya naturally had to do her duty as a wife in front of Jia Mu, but when no one was watching, Na Ren Tuoya was so narrow-minded. His gaze made Jia Zhu cough twice in embarrassment.

After taking a nap on the bed for less than an hour, someone came to report that someone at the door asked to see Jia Zhu, claiming to be a subordinate of the Haiyun Yamen, and the door did not dare to neglect, so they sent someone in to report.

Just as Jia Zhu agreed to let them come in to the reception hall, Jia Yi came out of the yard again and said that Jia Zheng needed to find Jia Zhu for something, and everything was rushed to one place, so Jia Zhu must go to his father first. , Ask Liu Fang to go to the reception hall and tell the visitor, if the other party thinks that he is intentionally neglecting it, it will be bad.

Jia Zhu walked towards her father, still thinking in her heart, a subordinate of the Haiyun Yamen?I don't know which one it is, what can I do with myself.

One hundred and third chapter

Jia Zheng approached Jia Zhu, naturally because he was worried about Jia Zhu's errand. Don't be impatient, discuss everything with Mr. Zhao."

Jia Zhu naturally complied, and then came to the reception room in front to meet the visitor, and when he was in the room, he saw that the visitor was none other than Yan Song and Hu Zhi, the two heads of Luhua Island. They all work in the shipyard under the shipping office.

This time the two of them came to visit with gifts. Hu Zhi always laughs before he speaks. This time, Yan Song is not as expressionless as the first time, and occasionally smiles along with Hu Zhi's words. Come, but it's awkward no matter how you look at it.

Jia Zhu knew that the two of them were worried, afraid that because they had neglected him before, they would only give them little shoes to show their courtesy to Xiao Ze, and they would all work in the same yamen in the future. Work together, if they don't get rid of this knot in their hearts at this time, I'm afraid it will be very inconvenient in the future.

Jia Zhu didn't want to accept their presents at first, but it would be difficult for them not to accept them now, so without saying anything, Jia Zhu asked Liu Fang to find two servants to carry the things down. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Hu Zhi's face. The smile on the face was even better, and Yan Song also breathed a sigh of relief, Jia Zhu secretly thought in his heart, just find a chance in the future and send it back.

The few dry people had nothing to say, and Hu Zhi and Yan Song left after a while. They also came to give gifts this time, and a big stone in their hearts fell to the ground after the gifts were sent out.

Just then Jia Zhu returned to her courtyard, and the things had already been carried in. Jia Zhu opened it to have a look. The two brothers were really generous. Jia Zhu registered all the things in the book and put them away without moving them, so that they can do things in the future. .

After a few days of rest, the yamen officially began to work, and Jia Zhu also met with his subordinates, and matched the information obtained from the investigation with everyone.

Now that the sea-going ship is still under construction, the first problem Yamen faces is to determine the shipping route, which not only saves time and effort, but also has safety issues most importantly.

After all, the rebellion of the pirates is no longer a year or two. This matter needs to be negotiated with the Ministry of War and the local navy.

Jia Zhu has investigated the backgrounds of his subordinates very carefully, and now he can make the best use of them. Those who are related to the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Minister are sent to be in charge of negotiating with the Ministry of War; The army is inextricably linked, so that things can be done with half the effort. Jia Zhu, who is in charge, really saves a lot of trouble.

The shipyard is also rushing to work. Now that the river has been closed, all efforts have been made to manage the river affairs. This year's water transportation must be carried by sea, but the construction of sea-going ships should not be rushed because of rush work. In case there is a problem with the ship during the sea transportation, That is the crime of deceiving the emperor, who can afford it?
