Chapter six hundred and ninetieth confrontation between old and young
In Ning'an Hall.
Dong Chuan, Chen Ran, Zhang Tai and seven or eight Wuhou children sat for tea, and lunch was all solved here.
Zhang Tai and the Marquis of Jingning, Ye Chao, wanted to drink Jia Qiang's wine, but they didn't do it in turn. Later, they asked for help. Chen Ran went on, Chen Ran couldn't do it, and Wuding, Marquis of Guo Liang, went on again, but it wasn't possible. In the end, even Dong Chuan went on one side...
At the end of the drink, I found that Jia Qiang's eyes became clearer and clearer the more he drank. Although his face turned red, he was ten times stronger than them. They finally gave up, ran outside and vomited wildly, and came back to speak seriously.
Jia Qiang admired these sons of Yuanping's meritorious officials, and even looked at the family behind them in a different way.
He never expected that these seven or eight families had a large amount of land in Jiubian Village and used border troops to farm. They had countless investments a year, but they were sold before returning to Beijing this year.
But now I haven't bought a lot of land around the capital...
Just to not show off!
With just these six words, many Shixun high schools have been compared.
"Brother Dong, if you have accumulated a family business, you will be as rich as this one. Why should you get involved in this muddy water?"
Jia Qiang looked at Dong Chuan, whose face was as heavy as a date, and his wine was still alive.
After a moment of reaction, Dong Chuan said slowly: "Mr. Ning Hou is not talking nonsense. Although our families have been in charge of power for many years, they have been away from the Shenjing Center for too long. Don't talk about other families, even the heroes of Yuanping in Beijing have all alienated us. Therefore, our families do need this opportunity to return to the center as soon as possible."
Jia Qiang looked at him sideways and said, "You guys can do such a big thing?"
Dong Chuan smiled and said, "When I came, I naturally reported to you, so Ning Hou can rest assured about this."
Chen Ran still looked unruly, but now he was convinced by Jia Qiang, and it was embarrassing enough to not win. Unexpectedly, he couldn't even win by fighting. He smiled and said, "Speaking of this, I also asked Ning Hou's blessing. When several adults returned to Beijing, they saw that the younger generations are so powerful now. Once they had decided, they should have tempered us, and then they gave up their power..."
Jia Qiang laughed and said, "It's not that I saw the juniors in the capital so powerful, but that I saw the juniors in the founding lineage of the Jia family? But it's okay, they are all in their early 180s and 1990s, so there is no need to always hide under their father and grandfather. Now some of the children of the founding lineage are also supported..."
Zhang Tai curled his lips and said, "Ning Hou, please! They are supporting themselves? They didn't expect their father and grandfather, but they all count on you!"
Guo Liang and others also quarreled, "That's it? Ning Hou, how much effort did you put into traction? It's not an exaggeration to treat your son?"
Jia Qiang smiled and said, "It's absolutely nothing. Even if you help, it's because your foundation is too weak. In my opinion, I don't want to divide the founding lineage, the Yuanping lineage. How much does it mean to fight in my own nest? Nowadays, several countries in the West are driving invincible fleets, using artillery and firearms? The whole world is fighting and colonizing, burning, killing and looting! Not to mention their dukes and marquis, even a viscount and a baron? They can occupy a country's land on a continent and do whatever they want! Competing with those people, they are truly a good man and a great man!"
When everyone heard this, they suddenly became cold. Dong Chuan was always calm, and then he scratched his head and said, "Ninghou? There are barbarians overseas? People are afraid that they have not been civilized... Besides, there are miasma outside, tigers, wolfs, snakes and insects everywhere, what's the point..."
Jia Qiang sneered, "The barbarian land? People are not yet civilized? Then Hou asked you, why are their firearms so sharp? Dayan's firearms still use a messile gun? It is not even used for wind, rain, snow, and tides? But the Western ghosts can ignore these. The firearms shoot farther than crossbow arrows and are even sharper! The cannons are placed on the boat, and a row of cannons fired volleys, no matter you have heavy cavalry or light cavalry, you must turn into powder. What solid city walls can stop them? They also say that the barbarians? The sea ships built by them can travel thousands of miles! They fought all over the world, robbed gold, silver and jewelry, and put the people of other countries in cages like livestock, and trained to become slaves.
In terms of strength, although this marquis cannot be the best in the world, he can also be the unparalleled general? But I never dare to be arrogant and frivolous! Because I know that the world has changed! No matter how good the sword is, how accurate the bows and arrows are, how high the martial arts are, can I withstand firearms? Can I withstand artillery?
Soldiers must know how to be vigilant in times of peace! Those Western ghosts have occupied most of the world and have already driven the ship next to Dayan... You elders may not have to think too much about it. In a while, those people may not dare to come in. But if our generation doesn't think about it, I promise with the glory of our ancestors that I will regret it in the future!"
When Dong Chuan heard this, the drunkenness on his face dissipated a lot. He looked at Jia Qiang and said, "Mr. Ning, if this is the case, why not write to the court?"
Jia Qiang shook his head and said, "The current major affairs of the court are the new policies. I have already told the emperor about these matters. The emperor is skeptical, so I suggest that the emperor send the Empression Vehicle Guard to go abroad and go to the West to see if it is true or false! Now, the three thousand households of the Empression Vehicle Guard, twelve hundred households, are all dispatched! You are waiting for you, at most two years, you will be able to bring back testimonies that convince you.
Dong Chuan, you guys are different from Jiang Lin. They are all in Beijing, and their minds are full of voice in the military, suppressing the founding lineage, and excluding the heroes of Yuanping who did not listen to them... Apart from this, there is nothing big for them, and they are already considered useless. But you should look outside, broaden your mind and vision, and not only have the rivers and mountains of Dayan, but also have the ambition of the universe. Even if you don’t talk about Western ghosts, do you always know about those who are the Rakshasa ghosts? Their current firearms are no longer afraid of the wind and rain..."
Dong Chuan and his face became very serious. After thinking for a while, Dong Chuan sighed and said, "Even if we take this matter seriously, we can't do anything at the moment. Ning Hou, although we are not very close to Jiang Lin and are not the same person, I will tell the truth that we must first find our place in the army like them..."
Jia Qiang smiled and said, "I didn't say that you are trying hard with the Western ghosts now. I just remind you not to limit your horizons to Dayan, and not to be like the Jiang family. Just think about being the only one in the army, and then lie there to use power tricks to suppress one wave, and then attract new people to suppress the old ones. In the end, the Jiang family will sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, regardless of whether it will weaken the military's combat power, let alone pay attention to any foreign enemy. You guys will sooner or later in the future. Don't forget what I said today.
It should be noted that although my Dayan land is vast, there is no extra land to abandon."
After looking at each other, Dong Chuan nodded, Dong Chuan stood up and bowed, "No matter what, I will never forget Ning Hou's mention today. Although the Great Yan is wide, there is no place to lose. Ning Hou has received teachings!
It’s getting late, so we will say goodbye first. Today I have been bothering you for a day. Next time, when our brothers ask the host to return the seat, please ask Ning Hou to be sure to appreciate his face!"
Jia Qiang laughed and said, "That's definitely not missing it!"
Jia Qiang sent a group of people to the outside world and came out of the corner gate. As soon as he left, he saw a car and sedan chair from Duke Zhao's mansion driving.
Jiang Ping and Jiang Lin rode on the horse and protected the carriage given by Duke Zhao from the palace.
In the circle of powerful people, there are almost no one who does not recognize this carriage...
When they arrived, the two of them dismounted and saw Jia Qiang standing under the gatehouse and looking at them sideways, as if they were watching begging for food. Both of them looked a little unpleasant.
Except here, who can't go to the house and greet me now and open the middle door?
Dong Chuan and the others were also helpless, and they just regretted that they hadn't walked a while ago, but they couldn't leave now.
Seven or eight people stepped forward and greeted the carriage.
The carriage door opened, Jiang Ping and Jiang Lin hurried forward and helped Jiang Duo, who was old but in a bad spirit, get out of the car.
After getting off the bus and stood firm, Jiang Duo turned his teeth-free mouth and looked at Jia Qiang from afar, snorted, and said, "Even if it is Jia Daishan, Jia Daihua is alive, should I welcome me in and sit and have a cup of tea today?"
Jia Qiang stood with her hands wrapped around her hands, shook her head and said, "The way is different, we don't plan for each other."
Jiang Duo twitched his lips, first glared at the angry second son Jiang Ping and his young grandson Jiang Lin, then looked at Jia Qiang and said, "I heard that you advocated that you should eliminate hatred with the Yuanping meritorious officials. They also said that they were all in the Great Yan army, and there was no hatred of life and death, but they became a worldly enemy. You built the Lao Shizi Guild Hall to solve this problem. Now that I am here in person, you are not allowing them to come in? It seems that you are just a verbal talker. Could it be that you just want to win over a group of Yuanping meritorious officials and start a new job?"
Jia Qiang smiled angrily and said, "When I use my brain to calculate my scheming, I can't compare to my husband. But everyone in the world knows how I, Jia Qiang, act, and everyone in the world knows how the old Duke is. Therefore, I will not show off my verbal advantage."
When Jiang Duo heard this, his hunched waist gradually stood up a little, and looked directly at Jia Qiang and said, "Jia Qiang, don't let down the old man's kindness. I am not afraid of you and Lin Ruhai, but I just feel that the two families have no deep hatred and there is no need to make enemies. I thought that if you do these things, it is mostly to help Lin Ruhai. Do you think that without me, you can do the same thing among the heroes of Yuanping? You can use the means to deal with the royal family and can you hold on to those generals."
When Jia Qiang heard this, he narrowed his eyes, suddenly smiled and bowed, "Old Duke, if you want to come in and ask for a cup of tea, you will just say it. I have to talk so much, and I am confused when I hear it. Since I pass by, I have to come in and eat a cup of herbal tea... Please come in."
Jiang Lin: “…”
Dong Chuan: “…”
Chen Ran: “…”
Everyone was speechless, but Jiang Duo laughed and said, "It's not bad, it's much better than my husband's turtle and pig grandchildren! Alas, I'm a hero for my whole life, why can't I give birth to children like you?"
Jia Qiang laughed and said, "My husband is joking..."
Just as Dong Chuan and others thought Jia Qiang would continue to be "cowardly" and even praised the children of the Jiang family. Chen Ran's eyes were hung up and he looked down on Jia Qiang, but Jia Qiang said, "My husband can't give birth to such a child, so he can recognize such a father."
"puff!"
Chen Ran was excited and a stream of wine surged out of his stomach, spitting out, and then he started coughing desperately.
After Jiang Duo looked at Jia Qiang carefully, he laughed and said, "Let's go and talk inside... Dong family boy, you can also accompany the old man in to sit in. I like to talk to young people the most. I feel that I can live a few more years when I talk to you."
These words immediately blocked Dong Chuan and others' excuses for saying goodbye, otherwise they wouldn't want the old monster Jiang Duo to live a few more years...
Although the Dong family, Chen family, Zhang family, Guo family and others are all generals who hold real power, the Jiang family is still the king in Beijing!
Perhaps the Dong family and others now control the position of most of the heads and generals of the 12th Regiment Battalion, but in fact, the deputy generals, generals, guerrillas, ministry, and even the guards and generals who go further down may obey the Jiang family.
The "newcomer" who had been fighting in the border for decades and returned to Beijing for the first time was just something that the Jiang family wanted to do.
Therefore, even though the Jiang family now only occupied a Xishan Ruijian Camp, even the emperor still regarded Duke Zhao as the first military minister of Xuanli!
Jiang Duo spoke at this moment, and there was no room for Dong Chuan and others to speak?
They are not Jia Qiang, they have the holy family, and Lin Ruhai and the founding family are the ones who are carrying tripods. They can barely say a few words to the old man...
The group returned to Ning'an Hall. As soon as they entered the door, Jiang Duo said "Ouch". His old eyes immediately stared at a row of radiators by the wall and said, "I have heard that the Jia family has made a very stubborn intention. I have been waiting for Jia to come and send it to you, but I can't wait. I send Jiang Lin, a fool, to ask for it, but you two can't even get together... Tsk tsk, a petty family!"
Jia Qiang laughed and said, "My husband is wronged me, it's not that I'm stingy first. I love riding horses. When the Empress in the Palace finds out, she even gave me a jade lion on the night! Later, I learned that my husband had a beautiful treasure horse, so I wanted to borrow it and ride it for seven or eight years. Unexpectedly, Jiang Lin was stingy and refused to lend it. I have always been a clear relationship with grudges. He is not generous, so I can't be a sucker, right?"
When Jiang Duo heard this, he laughed like an owl and nodded repeatedly, "It's reasonable to say it, it's reasonable to say it!"
After saying that, after he sat down in the main position, he stopped talking about this. After all, a stunning figure is worth more than ten thousand gold. He was so crazy that he could not do such a loss-making business. So he stopped looking at Jia Qiang and turned to Dong Chuan and asked, "Boy Dong, have you bought the stocks of the Money House of the Internal Affairs Office?"
Dong Chuan smiled bitterly when he heard this. After looking at Jia Qiang, he did not dare to lie to Jiang Duo after all. He could only nod and said, "I bought it."
Jiang Duo asked again: "How many shares did you buy? How much money did you spend a share?"
Dong Chuan smiled dryly and said, "I bought two shares, one share..."
Jia Qiang cut off and said, "A stock of 50,000 taels."
Dong Chuan, Chen Ran and others looked at their noses and mouths, but they wanted to become transparent people immediately and disappear without a trace.
If this were indeed sold for 50,000 taels per share, Jiang Duo might not be able to kill Jia Qiang, but he would probably dig out their shit...
Chapter completed!
