Shenjing Xicheng, Yanshou Temple Street.

Zhen Guo Gongfu.

In the Zhenwei Hall, Niu Jizong, who was broad and fat, smiled like a Maitreya, cupped his hands and said: "Ning Hou is here, our Zhenguo Duke's mansion is really full of glory!"

Jia Qiang looked at the line of heroes who founded the country. Except for the two young men, King Beijing and Shi Jia, who had rebelled against Yuanping heroes early, the nobles with the highest titles always felt that this person seemed to be pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.

Even though this man looks fat and mature, he is actually only in his thirties.

This year she just gave birth to a legitimate son...

After Jia Qiang sat down, a young man in green clothes brought tea. Niu Jizong said with a smile: "I was a little flattered when I received the door sticker from my house earlier! Ninghou has not made friends with us since he ascended the throne.

We are old friends, so I thought he looked down on us. I didn’t expect that he would be the first to come to our town.”

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "Uncle Niu, I'm not very worldly. I even hate welcoming guests and sending them to the host of banquets, but I don't mean to neglect or neglect your family friends. From now on, I will visit door to door and have a few home-cooked meals.

There is still a sense of intimacy." Originally, he was planning to bring Jia Lian with him, but after thinking about it, it was better for him to negotiate with the Zhenguo Gongfu himself. For those who are easy to break up with, he would bring Jia Lian with him...

When Niu Jizong heard this, he narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Marquis Ning is much more free and easy than ordinary people like us. He is the best. Others dare not boast. The pickled cucumbers from our Zhenguo Duke's Mansion can be found in the entire Shenjing City."

I can't find anything better! Ninghou, would you like to try it?"

Jia Qiang raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Okay! I only ate two bowls of rice in the evening, and I feel a little hungry."

Niu Jizong laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "It's a blessing to be able to eat, it's a blessing to be able to eat! Let's go to the side hall and have a taste of the pickled cucumbers."

After Niu Jizong and Jia Qiang walked along the Chaoshou corridor for two rounds, they didn't even go to the side hall. They went directly to the dining hall and left behind a group of servants serving in the main hall and side hall.

The two sat down, and after the cook served pickled cucumbers, several plates of side dishes and a barrel of rice, Niu Jizong waved his hand and sent the cook away.

Then he personally served a full bowl of rice to Jia Qiang and said with a smile: "I know that Ninghou doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, let's talk while eating!"

After that, he added another big bowl for himself.

Jia Qiang was not shy. She threw her arms away and ate a big bowl of rice with the pickled cucumber.

Niu Jizong said: "Uncle Niu, you are actually here to be a bad guest. I hope Uncle Niu can return the deficit of the household department as soon as possible."

When Niu Jizong heard this, he laughed and said: "I guessed that Marquis Ning probably came here for this matter. Tsk, Lin Ruhai got a good uncle!"

Jia Qiang knew that things were not that simple. Niu Jizong really didn't even get along with him. Jia Qiang looked at him and nodded, saying: "Uncle Niu is currently serving as an errand in the infantry commander's office. With the dignity of an earl, he leads five hundred soldiers and horses."

.Now that Prince Teng has taken charge of the Fengtai camp, he has twelve battalions under his command and is about to replace the generals. Each battalion has three thousand soldiers and horses. Is Mr. Niu interested?"

Niu Jizong added a piece of pickled cucumber to his mouth, smacked the taste, and said slowly: "Is Prince Teng now eager to beg us to set things up for him?"

Jia Qiang nodded and said: "Indeed, but it may not necessarily be the noble family of the founding hero. The Yuanping hero's family also has a lot of unemployed hero's family, and his eyes are almost green with hunger.

Uncle Niu, do you think if they were given a chance to lead troops, would they be willing to surrender to the Fengtai camp?"

Niu Jizong's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he looked at Jia Qiang with narrow eyes and said: "Will Wang Ziteng dig his own foundation? Back then, Duke Xianrong had a very unhappy relationship with Yuanping's hero. Wang Ziteng can achieve his current status, but he relies on so much

The power of your Jia family..."

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "The Wang family has reached this level and is really desperate. It is not impossible to change the family."

But Niu Jizong suddenly burst into laughter and said: "Ninghou, Ninghou, what you say is not honest. Prince Teng can reach this position not only because of the Jia family, but also because the emperor wants to use the founding lineage to balance Yuanping

The holy will of the hero is here. If he turns around and goes to the den of the hero Yuanping, he may not be able to sit still for a whole day."

Jia Qiang didn't find it funny at all. She looked at Niu Jizong and said softly: "Yes, the holy will is the most important. The holy will is the most important."

Niu Jizong's expression changed when he heard this, but Jia Qiang didn't let him speak again, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Niu, who is it that my husband wants to recover the deficit? I don't need to say more. The heroes of Yuanping are poor, and for a while

It will be difficult to take it back soon. At this time, if the founding hero can set an example, it is self-evident where the holy will is. The military power in the hands of the Yuanping hero will definitely be weakened. Who will take charge of the weakened military power?

Need to say more? At this time, whoever takes the first step will leave a loyal impression in the emperor's heart. Why can the Jiang family of Zhao Guogong prosper for three generations and decades? Isn't it because he always takes the first step and stands in the emperor's heart?

? Uncle Niu will not understand this truth."

When the words came to this point, Niu Jizong looked at Jia Qiang and smiled bitterly: "Ninghou, you are not an outsider when it comes to it, I won't hide it from you. The foundation of the Zhenguo Duke's mansion is far inferior to that of the Jia family.

The family fortune was not small, and by the time of the second generation of Rong Gong, the Jia family was not only maintained, but even more glorious than the ancestors. However, although the Niu family could not be said to be sitting on nothing, it was indeed unsatisfactory. It really could not afford to pay back the shortfall.

, It’s really all over, and the house doesn’t even have enough for next month. If I were to sell my family property, it would be even worse to kill me, the government can’t afford to lose this person!”

Jia Qiang pursed her lips, looked at Niu Jizong and said: "If you don't sell the land, do you have any furniture or antiques? Are there any useless gold and silver utensils piled in the warehouse? I don't believe it. The Duke of Zhen Guo didn't get anything special back then.

Is the treasure a family heirloom? Listen to me first..." Seeing Niu Jizong about to speak, Jia Qiang stopped him and said, "Uncle Niu, it is really shameful to sell the ancestral property, but why don't you think about the fact that the Zhenguo government still lost money after selling the ancestral property?

When word reaches the palace, what will the emperor think? Which is more important, those useless dead things, or the future of your government? As for these ancestral properties, you can just buy them later when you earn money!"

Niu Jizong said speechlessly: "I understand the truth, but how do I get rid of the things? You can't let me send my family to the pawn shop to pawn them, right? Besides, our honors are valuable, but we don't have the fucking ability to make money.

, when can I buy it back again?”

Hearing this, Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Uncle Niu, do you believe in what I can do?"

Niu Jizong looked at the young man sitting opposite him, who was obviously more than a round younger than him, but his aura and title were a head higher than his. He gently rubbed his fat chin and said with a smile: "In today's noble circle, no one cares about Yuan.

Even if you are an ordinary hero or a founding hero, you are recognized as the number one among the younger generation, much smarter than that bastard from Zhao Guogong’s Jiang family..."

Hearing that Niu Jizong still classified him as a younger generation, Jia Qiang sneered: "Do you know the Qi family, the head of the eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou, Mr. Qi Taizhong?"

When Niu Jizong heard this, he opened his eyes and said, "Of course I know, that's an old fox!"

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "He is indeed an old fox, but this old fox not only cooperates with me in many business transactions, but also sends his eldest grandson to the capital to follow me. If anything from the Zhenguo Palace is to be taken care of, it must be done by Qi Qiang.

The family will take it over and transport it to the south to be sold to the wealthy people in Jiangnan. Uncle Niu, when I was in Yangzhou, I was not even a third-class general. Tell me, why did the Qi family place such a big bet on me?"

Niu Jizong blinked and said, "For Lin Ruhai?"

Jia Qiang silently twitched the corner of her mouth and said: "Because of me, because I am Jia Qiang! If the Zhenguo Duke wants to earn some money, he doesn't have to go to the household department to suffer a loss and directly cooperate with me. There is no need for more money."

Said, the net profit of ten thousand taels of silver a year is still no problem."

When Niu Jizong heard this, his eyes widened and he asked: "How much capital do you need?"

Jia Qiang chuckled and said, "You definitely don't have that much cash. There are antique furniture and gold and silver utensils piled up that have never seen the light of day. I'll just ask someone to pull a few more carts away, and I'll pay off the shortfall as soon as I get there."

, secondly, the remaining balance is the equity capital. Later, I will ask you for some hard-working manpower. In the middle of this year, you can get a sum of money. Uncle Niu, speaking of which, these are actually small amounts.

The emperor's eyes will be put to great use in the future, will they still lack something to chew on?"

In this land, no matter what time, as long as you have the right, there will be no shortage of money...

When Niu Jizong heard this, he held a cucumber in his mouth while chewing a stick of incense. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Jia Qiang. Finally, he said slowly: "I can probably tell how Ninghou does things.

There are some traces. I just want to ask, what are Ning Hou and Lin Shilang going to do with those people who insist on refusing to pay back their losses or sell their property?"

Hearing this, Jia Qiang lowered her eyes and said softly: "I won't tell lies in front of Uncle Niu. If you really want to find some fault in the family of heroes, you can easily find them. Those who don't take the initiative to pay back the shortcomings, the court

I will help him copy a handful. But, I really don’t want to get to that scene, causing pain to my loved ones and happiness to my enemies.”

Niu Jizong felt his tooth hurt. He sucked in the air-conditioning and looked at Jia Qiang with a bitter smile: "Among the founding heroes of our country, why is there such a ruthless person like you?"

Jia Qiang raised her eyes, smiled, and said, "What Uncle Niu means..."

Niu Jizong rubbed his fat face vigorously with his fat hands, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Come on! I'll have someone come to pull things out early tomorrow morning. I'll go to the ancestral hall to kneel all night. But don't take our family's stuff away."

Good things are so cheap!"

Jia Qiang laughed, looked at him and said, "Don't worry, the price is absolutely fair!"

Niu Jizong looked at Jia Qiang, sighed, and said: "If Niu Qi can be like you in the future, even if you are only 50% capable, my ancestors will spare me this life!"

Niu Qi is the eldest son of Niu Jizong.

When Niu Jizong personally sent Jia Qiang out of the gate of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, even the servants of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion saw the relationship between the two, and they stopped being polite and became much closer at once.

Everyone secretly called themselves strange.

But when Niu Jizong saw that Jia Qiang and about twenty people did not go home, but rode towards Duke Li's mansion, the fat on his face started to twitch again.

He has always prided himself on being a young man in the army, but now looking at Jia Qiang, he instantly felt that he was really old...

However, looking at the cold night, Niu Jizong felt a surge of pride in his heart!

Perhaps this time, the Zhenguo Palace can really restore the glory of its ancestors!
