Chapter 437: Filial Respect

In the next few days, Jia Lian did not abide by the so-called etiquette. He went to the Lin family every day to visit Lin Ruhai and Daiyu, and took the initiative to take care of the affairs inside and outside the Lin family, including paying for Lin Ruhai prepares funeral arrangements and so on.

This is not that Jia Lian cursed Lin Ruhai to die early, but that people at that time paid attention to preparation in advance.

For example, Jia’s mother had some arrangements for her funeral in the early years. Because she herself didn’t know how long she would survive, and she didn’t want the younger generations to be in a hurry and hastily settle her affairs!

Another example is that the Imperial Tomb of the Supreme Emperor was built a few years ago, but it has not yet been completely completed...

This is a characteristic of the times, the more it becomes For a noble person, the preparation for the funeral is more grand.

In addition to going to the Lin family, he finally returned to the Military and Horse Department.

As the important management office of Xicheng, the Bingma Division did not say that all employees would go home to celebrate the Spring Festival. It can even be said that most people do not get a complete annual leave, because the more festive and festive the time, the busier the officers and soldiers of the Military and Horse Division are.

Perhaps, this is also the reason why the people at the top tacitly allow several soldiers and horses to enjoy the appropriate filial piety from various merchants in the capital.

As for why Jia Lian didn’t take office a few days ago...

He is the boss. After finally returning from a major imperial mission, he is not allowed to rest at home for a few days?

Besides, he had arranged the personnel of the Military and Horse Department well before he left Beijing. He didn’t hear anything went wrong after he came back, so he was naturally not in a hurry to go to the Yamen to order.

On the first day he went to the Yamen, all the soldiers and horsemen all congratulated him on his promotion to the title, and flattered him to the extreme, until Jia Lian couldn't bear it anymore and asked them to It's all over once you go down and do your own work.

However, Jia Lian was grateful after all, and immediately said that he would treat all civil and military officials who were not on duty to a gathering at Juxian Tower at noon.

The next day, he processed some necessary official documents, gave instructions to his left and right, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Fan Jin and others.

Looking at the mysterious looks of Fan Jin and Xie Jun, Jia Lian guessed something and followed him to the back hall. As expected, Fan Jin presented a yellow seal in front of Jie Jun with a smile. He also said with a smile: "My lord is on an envoy under the emperor's order, and your hard work has made great achievements. However, the young ones still dare not forget your lord's teachings... This is the half year that your lord has been away from the capital. I am respectful to you. Please take a look..."< br />
Jia Lian smiled and took it over without any hesitation, and examined it face to face.

But he just looked at the number briefly, and thenThen he laughed, returned the banknote to Huang Feng, and asked with a smile: "Why is there more? Are you trying to please me and deducting the welfare of my brothers?" How dare you wait for others. We paid a lot of the brothers' share and distributed it all.

As for why there is more than before, one is the share in September last year Also inside, Mr. Erze may not know that every year at the end of the year, those down there will be more sensible and pay more for the brothers' hard work, so the brothers will get more benefits."

Fan Jin hurriedly explained, and Xie Jun beside him also smiled and said yes.

Talking about how much filial piety was received in the second half of last year without Jia Lian, as long as they are bolder and smarter, it is possible to fool Jia Lian. It would be easy to intercept at least some of it.

But how dare they.

Originally, Jia Lian only kept his word in the Military and Horse Division. Even Deputy Commander Cui, who had been in the Military and Horse Division of Xicheng for many years, was driven out to live in foreign lands. It would be okay if he did a small trick under Jia Lian's nose and was not discovered. If he was discovered, he would definitely spit out all the money and profits, and it might not be settled yet.

Besides, they never thought of being disloyal to Jia Lian. Jia Lian was promoted step by step and became a close minister of the emperor. If he followed him, not only would he have a brighter future, but Jia Lian himself would be very tolerant and generous towards his subordinates.

There is absolutely no need for them to sacrifice for the small.

For example, when Commander Cui and Commander Cui were there in the past, Deputy Commander Cui personally managed the quarterly filial piety.

At that time, it was naturally the former commander and deputy commander Cui who took the big head and let them and their brothers below drink soup. Although it is natural, sometimes I still feel aggrieved.

But Jia Lian is different, perhaps because people who come from the Duke's Mansion have a different vision, and their actions are not as petty as Deputy Commander Cui made them do!

After getting rid of Deputy Commander Cui, I don’t know what connections were used to make the ministry have no intention of appointing a new deputy commander. Logically speaking, then Deputy Commander Cui’s share would be Even if Jia Lian monopolizes it, no one would dare to say anything, right?

But Jia Lian didn’t. He didn’t even bother to manage the matter himself. Instead, he delegated the matter to him and Fan Xinwen to jointly manage it.

For the first time, they tentatively assigned Deputy Commander Cui’s share to Jia Lian, but Jia Lian didn’t seem to care about the thousands of silver. Instead, he waved his hand and let them Take the deputy commander's share as his reward and distribute it to more than two thousand brothers...

Don't talk about anything else, just pay attention toCan the commander, with his openness and generosity, prevent the brothers above and below him from following him wholeheartedly and pursuing a prosperous future?

Seeing the bright faces of Jie Jun and the other two, Jia Lian said nothing more and put Huang Feng into his arms.

This is why Xie Jun and his two men will do something to exchange the silver into banknotes in advance. Otherwise, he would not be able to take this amount of silver quietly.

As for the fact that the deputy commander’s share was shared among everyone, it was not entirely Jia Lian’s generosity.

Anywhere, the distribution of benefits is in the shape of a pyramid. The chief and deputy commanders of the Military and Horse Division, as people with a much higher rank than other officials, have always had the lion's share of the profits.

Not to mention anything else, the two commanders and deputy commanders accounted for almost half of the entire military and horse division's filial piety.

If he had monopolized it by himself, Fan Jin and others might not have dared to say anything because they were so frightened by his airborne force. But every time the benefits were distributed in the future, they naturally felt dissatisfied. They felt that Jia Lian was too greedy and would surely become resentful in the long run.

Since he had just taken office at that time, he most needed the support of his subordinates, so he was naturally happy to use an vacancy to show his broad-mindedness. Just like this, if the Ministry of War sends another deputy commander one day, because he wants to take away everyone's vested interests, I believe it will not be easy here.

It can be regarded as helping to avoid possible constraints in advance and burying a hole.

After coming out of the Military and Horse Department, he stopped by the Lin Mansion to take a look. Then Jia Lian took Lin Zhixiao and others out of the city to the place where they visited the horse racing field.

"Second Master, don't worry, the servants have handled everything properly, and there are no accidents.

"According to what Second Master said that day, this is the only circle in total. More than two thousand acres of land encompass the hillside and the forests on both sides that Erye likes."

Looking at the nearby green mountains and green waters, smelling the fragrance of wild flowers and green grass, Jia Lian nodded with satisfaction.

It only cost more than five thousand taels of silver to buy such a spacious piece of land. It was really a good deal.

"Because there are hundreds of acres of good farmland here, the servants and others did not drive away all the former tenants, but selected a dozen or so honest households and kept them. Come down. But don’t worry, Second Master, I have taught them all the rules, and they will not wander around anywhere else."

Jia Lian laughed, although his original intention was just to have a horse racing farm, And a place where you can simply hunt, but since there are hundreds of acres of fertile land, it is really a waste to let it go uncultivated.

Speaking of which, if it weren’t for these hundreds of acres of good farmland, this piece of land wouldn’t be worth more than 5,000.Two silver coins.

The value of fertile land in Dawei is about four to six taels per acre. Those in the capital are slightly more expensive, only seven or eight taels.

As for forests and grasslands, they are too cheap. If no one buys them, they will remain in the hands of the government. It is impossible for the government to have the manpower and energy to manage it. It is better to sell it to wealthy people to increase fiscal revenue.

As for him, it is a good thing to have appropriate tenants, so that he can be looked after at ordinary times, which can save a lot of manpower.

Chatting and laughing with Lin Zhixiao, we came to the center of Zhuangzi. Under the shade of the trees, an exquisite carriage was parked quietly there.

When Jia Lian saw it, he said to Lin Zhixiao and others: "Okay, you go back first. I will see how to build this village first. I will tell you when I have a plan."< br />
"Yes..."

Lin Zhixiao naturally saw the carriage in front of him, but he only glanced at it. He didn't even take a closer look at the people around the carriage, so he took it with him Behind him, the two stewards of Rongguo Mansion rode back to the city.

Jia Lian, on the other hand, approached the carriage on horseback, took a riding whip, and opened the curtain.

A beautiful figure appeared in his eyes.

This is such a clean and pure woman. Just taking a look at Jia Lian, her fair and beautiful face turned slightly red.

Jia Lian smiled and said: "Come down, there is no one else here."

This person was Miaoyu who was supposed to be in Muni Courtyard.

This girl has been entangled with him for several years. Now her master is dead, and she is also a helpless and pitiful person.

Jia Lian thought that after she moved into Cucui Nunnery, she would probably not be able to leave the Grand View Garden. It happened that Zhuangzi bought it, so he wanted to imitate Princess Zhaoyang's invitation to him that day, and invite her to come for an outing while the spring weather was good.

Miaoyu is naturally very moved, but her unique identity makes her very worried. Jia Lian asked her to dress like a lady today, and then he sent someone to bring her here quietly, so that she would be unnoticed and there would be no problem.

Anyway, Miaoyu was originally a lay disciple, with a waterfall of green hair. As long as she changed her clothes, she became more ladylike than other ladies.

Sure enough, when Miaoyu came out of the carriage, her light blue dress really stunned Jia Lian, let alone Zhang Yong behind.

Among them, some knew Miaoyu’s origin, and some didn’t, but they all understood that this was the woman of their Marquis, so they turned around wherever they dared to take a second look.
