Moreover, he had been in officialdom for more than ten years and was determined to be on good terms with Jia Lian, so Jia Lian still found it pleasant to talk to him.

"My brother, this time, I have eliminated the ills of the salt administration and made great contributions to the court and Your Majesty. After returning to Beijing, I am afraid that I will be promoted again."

Both of them were appointed officials of the imperial court. Sitting together drinking morning tea, it was inevitable that they would talk about political affairs.

Jia Yucun couldn't help feeling envious in his heart when he saw that Jia Lian was so young, so high-spirited and famous all over the world.

I think back then, at this age, he was just a poor scholar who studied hard in a poor family. Compared to this, he looked like clouds and mud.

"Brother Yucun is too complimentary. I just followed your majesty's will to cut off the knot with a sharp knife and committed a lot of mischief in Yangzhou. I only ask that after returning to Beijing, your majesty will not punish me, let alone be promoted."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Jia Lian smiled casually and could not tell what he was really thinking.

Jia Yucun smiled slightly. He also heard about some of Jia Lian's actions in Yangzhou. It has to be said that when he knew that Jia Lian had just arrived in Yangzhou, he directly mobilized troops to surround all the salt merchants, and then investigated them one by one.

They all feel admired.

As expected, he is a very tough person, and his work is so simple and direct.

When I heard about those salts

When the merchants jumped over the wall in a hurry and sent people to assassinate Jia Lian again and again, Jia Yucun couldn't help but sweat for Jia Lian.

Having been involved in Jiangnan officialdom for two or three years, he also knew the power behind those salt merchants. Among other things, those salt merchants who were extremely wealthy had no scruples when they went crazy!

Fortunately, Jia Lian was not a good person. He not only suppressed those people, but also had their homes confiscated and beheaded any one who dared to jump over the wall.

However, although Jia Lian handled matters neatly, he was still a bit barbaric when it came to the future, especially when he did not meet the standards of behavior of many ministers in the DPRK.

Therefore, I am afraid that after Jia Lian returns to Beijing, there is a high possibility that he will be in some trouble.

However, Jia Yucun is not too worried about Jia Lian. Behind Jia Lian is the founding ministers headed by the four princes and eight princes as the foundation, there are also noble concubines and empresses in the palace, and the emperor trusts him. Who can really do anything to him? Thinking of this,

Jia Yucun became more determined to form a political alliance with Jia Lian.

Although it was said to be a political alliance, Jia Yucun also knew in his heart that with his current shallow foundation in the court, he could only accept Jia Lian as his boss and rely on the political power behind him to become an official in Beijing in the future.

"By the way, I wonder how my brother's affairs in Yangzhou are going. When will he return to Beijing?

It just so happens that Brother Yu has also been ordered by the imperial court and has recently decided to go to Beijing to take up his post. If the time is about the same, you and I might as well go to Beijing together, so that we will not be lonely along the way. I wonder what Brother Shi thinks?"

Jia Yucun pretended to be careless and said.

In fact, this is the reason why he ignored Jia Lian's instructions that day and secretly asked his wife to go to Daru Prefecture to bring the Feng family.

When Jia Lian left that day, Jia Yucun thought deeply and felt that he could not let Jia Lian send people to Daru Prefecture to find the Feng family. When he was an official in Daru Prefecture, he had a general understanding of the Feng family's situation after Zhen Shiyin became a monk.

Although when Feng Shi promised Jiao Xing to him, he gave him a decent betrothal gift. But it is hard to say how long that money can make Feng Shi respected in the Feng family.

If your life is good, then forget it, if your life is miserable, then...

Now that Jia Lian has been informed that the Zhen family has been kind to him, if Jia Lian finds out that Feng's life is very unsatisfactory, and he also knows Feng's whereabouts, I am afraid that Jia Lian will have a prejudice against him.

Another point was reminded by Jiao Xing.

Since you are worried that you will not be able to fill the gap in Beijing, why not seize this opportunity and make friends with Jia Lian?

How to make good friends? Isn't Jia Lian an imperial envoy? The imperial envoy will definitely return to Beijing after finishing his work.

Therefore, as long as we can go back to Beijing with Jia Lian, we will spend at least half a month on the road. Don't we still worry about not finding a chance to make friends with him?

If you really can't make friends like this, then there is no need to consider this line.

Jia Lian raised his eyebrows, he understood a little bit what Jia Yucun meant.

Facing his square face, Jia Lian nodded and said, "If that's the case, it would be great.

But I can only stay in Jinling for three days at most, to visit some old relatives and friends in the city, and to reserve two days to go back to Yangzhou to cook the last meal, so it will take about five or six days in total, I wonder if my brother will be able to make it?"

"Hahaha, just in time. I plan to leave in five or six days, so it's perfect."

"Hehehe... So, then you and I will go together."
