Chapter 16 The Day of Rest, Green Willow Villa,

On the fifth year of Hongdeli, the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month.

Today's Shenjing is particularly lively.

Tomorrow is the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the so-called Little New Year, so today there are people buying New Year’s goods everywhere on the streets.

Thanks to the blessing of Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the old man set up the work system for officials, that the annual annual leave will start from the day before the Little New Year until after the Lantern Festival at the beginning of the New Year.

The Supreme Emperor and Emperor Hongde even specifically approved the officials in Beijing who returned to their hometown to visit their relatives and elders during the annual holiday, and even gave up the official gifts on the first day of the Lunar New Year. After all, the Great Zhou Dynasty now advocates filial piety and brotherhood to govern the country and the family, so naturally they cannot ignore human ethics.

So, Jia Jing, who had been in class for one day, had a glorious holiday!

It is worth mentioning that because he had only been working for one day, he was embarrassed to receive the generous year-end Luyin (year-end bonus?), Jia Jing took out one of the several Yu Hengsi loss account books he had intercepted and presented them to Emperor Hongde.

During this period, Emperor Hongde kept Jia Jing and chatted for a long time.

Then... and then Jia Jing received a bunch of things rewarded by Emperor Hongde.

Well, I have to say that the meaning of winning is very obvious! But Jia Jing doesn’t know how much of this winning is sincere and how much is the element of making it for himself.

Then Jia Jing went to the Dragon Shou Palace again and presented another account book. Then he was dragged by the Supreme Emperor to care for a long time.

The year-end bonus is once again 30% rich!

The old man really spared no effort to win over the noble forces!

The reason why both emperors gave a book of accounts was that, first, they informed the two emperors that they had indeed discovered the problem when they arrived at the Ministry of Works. Then, they told the two emperors that if they were not careful about this matter, they would be exposed in the future, but I, Jia Jing, cannot be blamed for being a poor official.

Another meaning is naturally to test the attitudes of the two emperors. After all, the Ministry of Works is considered the power of Prince Zhongshun. Prince Zhongshun dared to do this, so Jia Jing naturally did not believe that the two emperors did not know at all. They were just turning a blind eye.

It’s always right to be more careful about royal matters!

The two-point account book was submitted, but no news came, and Jia Jing immediately understood.

Since both emperors are determined to expose this matter, Jia Jing naturally won’t make things boring. Wouldn’t it be better to give yourself less? If there is time to lie down for a while and sleep for a while, will it feel uncomfortable?

But if you don’t pursue the investigation, you just don’t pursue the proportion of floating drifts as high as six layers.

As for the fact that Jia Jing found when inspecting the inventory, hundreds of piles of iron ingots were "lost for no reason", we still need to pay attention to it.

When I heard that there were more than a hundred piles of iron ingots missing in the warehouse, why did Fang Xiaojin and others suddenly change their expressions later?

It was nothing more than that at this time the entire Ministry of Works had become like Prince Zhongshun's back garden. The descendant of the deposed prince often went to the Ministry of Works to fight for the autumn wind, and there were so many things that were moved back.

Therefore, in the eyes of Fang Xiaojin and others, the iron ingots that were "lost for no reason" this time were still the same as before, and they all fell into the pocket of King Zhongshun.

Unfortunately, Jia Jing discovered this matter, and if it was exposed, it would be quite troublesome.

So, in order to stabilize Jia Jing, the few people had to say that there were still some iron ingots placed in other places and it took time to transport them.

Jia Jing naturally followed the situation and skipped the inspection of the iron ingot.

After all, Jia Jing knows the reason best.

…………

Outside the Shenjing City, Green Willow Villa.

Zhuangzi is backed by a green mountain and covers a huge area. It is named after a huge willow tree with several people holding on to each other in the center of Zhuangzi.

At this time, under the huge willow tree, Jia Jing was wearing green and white arrow sleeves, and the black cloak was hanging down behind him, looking more and more like a jade-like face, heroic and handsome. At this moment, Jia Jing was looking up at the extremely tall willow tree in front of him.

"Master, the tenant in the village has arrived!" Lai Fu whispered to Jia Jing behind him.

Turning around, Jia Jing looked at the representatives of the tenant who gathered at his summons.

More than ten people looked at the boss in front of them, and then, at the gesture of an old man, knelt down together and kowtowed Jia Jing three times.

"All the young and old in Lijia Village are kneeling to thank the boss for his life!"

Jia Jing stood quietly under the willow tree, watching the people in Lijia Village kowtow to him without stopping him.

He thought he could bear these few sounds.

In this era when many civilians cannot eat enough and wear warmth, Jia Jing was able to take the initiative to reduce the rent so that these tenants can eat enough and wear warmth in their own farms and not be oppressed. This is already a great kindness, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a life-saving grace.

What's more, this Lijia Village was rescued by Jia Jing from Liaodong from the iron hooves of the Tatars. In their village, because of their location, they were often invaded by the Tatars. Jia Jing gave the group of people the money to come to the pass and take them in their own farm.

In this way, the grace of saving lives and the grace of living will naturally be borne by just a few loud news.

After everyone got up after ceremonies, Jia Jing signaled the leading old man to step forward.

"Captain Li, I'll tell you a long story. There is only one thing to call you here this time, that is, taking advantage of the gap between the New Year and the New Year, I want to rebuild Green Willow Villa, which requires some manpower. I also have to ask Village Chief Li to summon it on his behalf."

"Did the boss move here to move?" The old man's words were full of surprises, "Don't worry, we will gather everyone when we go back. I dare not say too much, and it's still okay for 300 or 500 people!"

Jia Jing nodded, first answered the old man's question, and then continued: "It just so happened that during the end of the year, I asked the housekeepers in the village to prepare more meat. For those who come here to work, the village will take care of three meals a day. In addition, each person pays wages at the price of working outside every day."

But when Jia Jing said that, the old man was not very happy, "Boss, don't you slap us in the face when you say this? Your grace to save your life has not been repayed. Now, if you do a favor and ask you to pay for your wages, we have no shame to bear it!"

Jia Jing interrupted the old man, "It's all just a little money, just treat it as if the village is spending the New Year with everyone, it's lively!"

"The boss is kind and righteous!"

When everyone in Lijia Village left, Jia Jing called Fu Shuanzhu in front of him and asked, "This time I said I would find a wife for you brothers. Is anyone who likes you? I will make the decision for you!"

In a word, Fu made a big blush in the future. Shuanzhu on the side was quite moved. "I haven't had any favors yet, but I'm not in a hurry!"

"That's fine, wait until you meet someone who is Kexin! Let's go up the mountain today."

…………

The sun is gradually setting, and the red sunset is spread all over the west horizon.

Jia Jing took the lead, rode his horse in front, and the black cloak flew in the wind, and thirty heavily armored cavalrymen followed closely behind.

Behind them, Lai Fu Shuanzhu, two brothers, were chasing each other desperately.

Even though the two of them were the best level that could be bought on the market, when facing Jia Jing and a group of cavalry, they were still far from enough to see and were pulled further and further away.

So, this scene appeared on the official road. A team of heavy armored cavalrymen in front of them, led by a young general wearing a black cloak, headed straight to the gate of Shenjing with the afterglow of the sunset.

Behind the cavalry team, the two cavalry, also wearing heavy armor, were chasing each other desperately...
