Chapter 216 What is a surprise?

They all decided to kill the person’s mother, so naturally it was impossible to let the person’s son go.

Jia Liu asked Deb to send a team of people to escort the Eight Banners porcelain-banging gang headed by Shu Lun to Xiaozhai and hand them over to the custody of Zuoling Xindasu.

Then I took people to visit Chengdu and buy things.

First, I bought a pair of ivory mahjong tiles for the gambler Mingliang, and then I went to a gold shop to buy a Buddha statue and a Guanyin statue made of pure gold, respectively for Fu Sheng, Tong Boling and the two vice-captains.

Traditional.

Then he signed a long-term supply agreement with the owner of the gold shop, which is to provide jade, gold and silver gift boxes for the Xiaozhai Guild Hall carefully built by Jia Liu.

The things are not expensive, it's just Jia Liu's small kindness to his leaders and colleagues.

It is a special requirement that whether it is made of jade, gold, or silver, it must be engraved with six small characters "Presented by Jia Jia Shikai".

After taking a look around the decoration industry these days, looking at several shops and listening to the introductions from the shop assistants, Jia Liu placed four large orders one after another, mainly for interior decoration and furnishings.

The total cost is more than 10,000 taels.

After seeing Master Jia Jia directly handing over half of the deposit, the shopkeepers of these shops were happy and relieved.

Then he went to the carpenter's shop to order a bed, a sewing shop, and a tailor's shop to customize special clothes. There were all sorts of things, down to the smallest detail. Jia Liu took the trouble to explain his intention to others over and over again. After working for a long time, he finally finished all the hardware and software of the guild hall.

This time it cost more than 7,000 taels.

There is no way, Master Jia Jia now has a lot of money and face, so everything is expensive.

After finishing my work, I went to Mancheng to sleep.

There is a courtyard owned by Mr. Jia Jia all over Chengdu. It was the vice president of the father-in-law Renbo who arranged for his nephew Delhui to buy it as a wedding gift for his daughter and son-in-law.

The house is the famous Kuanzhai Alley in Chengdu in the previous life, but now all the Banner people come and go in this alley, and no Han people can be seen.

The courtyard is nice, with front and back entrances. Although it's not as good as the Forbidden City, it's definitely enough for a young couple to live in.

There are also staff members, including a steward, a coachman, an errand boy, two maids, and a cook, a total of six people. They all signed slave contracts and were married and raised by Vice President Bo.

As soon as he entered the hospital, he saw big red double happiness stickers everywhere. He was so happy that Jia Liu once again felt the joy of being a groom.

Vice President Bo's arrangement was very good. On the one hand, he didn't want his daughter Chunhua to suffer in Xiaozhai. After all, that place was full of big men, so it would be very inconvenient.

On the other hand, I don't want my daughter to be like a servant girl doing all the work for Jia Guizi. No matter how she has no status, she will always kiss her daughter.

The daughter of the rebel thief is also in Xiaozhai, and the vice president is worried that her daughter will not be able to stand up to this thief and her life will be miserable.

I really pity the hearts of parents in the world.

After briefly talking to the staff, Jia Liu asked Er Yang to arrange for the soldiers to move in and sleep.

Since Lord Jia Jia entertained guests during the day, all Sauron's soldiers were greatly satisfied physically and mentally. They were all tired after running around with Lord Jia Jia for a day, and soon they began to shout loudly.

Jia Liu also slept soundly. In his dream, he was sometimes in the Mobei Plateau, sometimes in the water towns of Jiangnan, and sometimes in the Forbidden City. What always echoed in his ears was the BGM - "Mountains and rivers cannot bear too much sorrow, and time has passed."

I can't afford to wait too long. Spring flowers love to sway in the wind, but yellow sand wants to bury obsession and resentment..."

Wake up from the dream and reflect on it carefully.

Spring flowers?

good sign!

.........

Spring flowers are coming. Yesterday Delhui said that his cousin has arrived in Jianzhou and will arrive in Chengdu today.

Thinking that the fastest arrival would be in the afternoon, Jia Liu asked Shuan Zhu to invite the governor over for a wedding banquet, and told Shuan Zhu to make sure the governor brought a map of Sichuan.

A map is a map.

The president, who had spent the night reading "Spring and Autumn" with Miss Chen last night, heard that it was a wedding banquet, so he put down his official duties and came happily.

After the maid served tea and snacks, Jia Liu spread out the map of Sichuan brought by the president, and lay on it to study with the president the possibility of salvaging Zhang Xianzhong's sunken silver.

Chen Yin is in the Minjiang River, which belongs to Pengshan County, Meizhou.

"You want to get Thief Zhang's treasure?"

President Li was stimulated by Jia Liu's bold idea. After thinking about it for a while, he asked his attaché to quickly go back to the governor's office to collect the relevant records of Zhong Zhong Shen Yin in Pengshan from the Kangxi period to the present, as well as the cases of people discovering Shen Yin for verification.

The information that Mr. Futai needed urgently was quickly brought over.

Jia and Li kept reading the relevant records, and finally confirmed that it was indeed true, with sly looks in their eyes.

"Can be fished out!"

Chairman Li decided that dredging the Minjiang River could be used as an excuse to organize people to fish.

He also said that when he had time to go to Pengshan to check on the spot, if possible, a dam could be built at the narrow point upstream to cut off the water of the Minjiang River, so that it would not be salvaged, but directly lifted to the shore.

Now that you've done it, do it hard.

If a dam is to be dammed, the amount of work required is obviously more severe than organizing a salvage ship to salvage it, but Jia Liu does not doubt whether it is possible to carry out river dam projects in this era. After all, Li Bing and his sons built Dujiangyan two thousand years ago.

What's more, it doesn't block the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. The Minjiang River is a tributary of the Bailongjiang River, a tributary of the Jialing River, a tributary of the Yangtze River. Although it is a river, it is actually just a slightly wider river. The total length of the Meizhou section is only more than a hundred miles.

As long as the manpower and material resources can keep up, and the organization can keep up, we will definitely get something done.

Really, the return is as big as hundreds of millions of gold and silver, even if it takes a year to start this big project, it is worth it.

However, such a big project must be hidden from others, otherwise if the court finds out, the money will become someone else's.

Chairman Li came up with a plan, which was to first replace the magistrates of Meizhou and Pengshan counties with Huili people, replace all the Pengshan county yamen from top to bottom, and then transfer Biao to take over both sides of the sunken ship on the grounds of causing trouble, and set up

Do not allow anyone to approach the restricted area.

This ensures that the message will not be leaked.

Jia Liu nodded in agreement, saying that he could send people to help if necessary. Even if the news was leaked, as long as the gold and silver taken out of the river was considerable, it would not be impossible to use some for management.

While they were discussing, Shuan Zhu hurried over and shouted with a happy face: "Master, the second young lady has arrived at the city gate!"

"oh?"

Jia Liu chuckled and asked Shuan Zhu to report again.

Shuan Zhu sighed and was about to go over, but Jia Liu stopped him again. Since the president was embarrassed, he politely asked Shuan Zhu to see what the second young lady looked like, whether she was fat or thin. Anyway, he just wanted Shuan Zhu to see it.

After that, come back quickly to give him a reassurance, otherwise his little heart won't be able to bear it.

The president is old and mature, so he doesn't know what Jia Liu is thinking. He smiled and comforted: "How ugly can Lao Bo's daughter be? Don't worry."

That's enough, but the president added carefully, "It's so ugly that it doesn't look the same even after blowing out the candles. Lao Bo is very important to our party, so you can't think that someone else's daughter is ugly."

Jia Liu looked at the president and said nothing.

Based on the look on my father-in-law's face, he was actually prepared for the worst.

But humans always want surprises, right?

What if the spring flowers are coming?

Less than half an hour later, Shuan Zhu hurriedly came again, but his face was not filled with joy, but with a look of surprise.

"What? Too ugly to be seen?"

Jia Liu's heart felt cold.

"No, young master, the second young lady is quite pretty, that's right, that's right,"

Shuan Zhu didn't know what to say, so he asked the young master to go and see by himself, saying that the second young mistress's car would arrive at the entrance of the alley soon.

Um?

Could it be that he is lame?

Jia Liu didn't think much and hurried to the entrance of the alley to pick up the bride.

Delhui, the father-in-law's nephew and Jia Liubiao's brother-in-law, was also waiting in the alley. He smiled and nodded when he saw his brother-in-law.

Jia Liu smiled back and nodded, but his smile was a little stiff.

Cars are coming and going on the street.

Finally, a carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley. The driver jumped out of the carriage and shouted toward the carriage: "Miss, we've arrived."

"Um."

A woman's voice came from the carriage. Although it only hummed, it sounded touching.

Jia Liu kept his eyes fixed, not daring to blink his big eyes, and stared straight at the car curtain being lifted, and a cute-looking woman sticking her head out.

Jia Liuyi took a look and said: Beautiful, done, done!

Wei Xiang is not the real owner, but just a maid who followed.

"Miss, get out of the car."

There was another hum in the car, and then a woman leaned out and slowly walked out of the car with the help of the maid. She came to Master Jia Jia who was in a daze, held up the hem of her skirt, bowed her waist and slightly bent her right leg, using both hands.

At the same time, he held his right knee and said in a low voice with standard Manchu courtesy: "The widow Chen Ma has met your Excellency."

The woman looks very familiar, but she is dressed in white.

The white clothes of a widower.

What is a surprise?
