Honglou: I am the legitimate son of An Guogong!

The next day.

After leaving Lixiangyuan, Jia Hong gathered the remaining 400 troops and left Chang'an City.

The team headed northwest, stopping only briefly along the way, and arrived at Lanzhou half a month later. They arrived two days faster than the 500 people who went ahead.

Compared to Chang'an City, Lanzhou City is far inferior in size, population, and trade, but it is still an important city in the Hexi Corridor.

Today, the caravan cooperating between Anguo Mansion and the Xue family transports and distributes goods as far as Lanzhou.

But on this trip, the Xue family company sent out a small caravan as the pioneer, and transferred to camels to carry some goods with them. Jia Hong assigned a hundred people to escort them.

After the reorganization, Jia Hong's team traveled thousands of miles along the Hexi Corridor and arrived in Ganzhou in the cool autumn season.

He led the soldiers and horses to the school grounds outside Ganzhou City. Jia Changzhu, the first group to arrive, led the team to sort out the soldiers and horses.

Later, Jia Hong came to Ganzhou County.

This place is not only the seat of Ganzhou Prefecture, but also the administrative seat of Ganzhou Province.

The scale of Ganzhou is much larger than the counties along the way, but it is not as good as Lanzhou, with a radius of only ten miles.

Jia Hong came to the courtyard in the south of the city, which was the residence approved for him by the government.

There are seven rooms in the single-door courtyard, which are not as big as Wang Xifeng's room at home.

Although far away in Ganzhou, the specifications and construction of housing do not need to be too particular, but Jia Hong does not have a high-profile and luxurious style, so he does not plan to buy another yard.

If he buys a new one, he doesn't have to stay in Ganzhou for long. Will he have to live thousands of miles away to collect rent? It’s just an abandoned residence!

Jia Hong asked a few soldiers to help clean up and stay there first.

After months of marching, sleeping in the yard is already quite good.

After the soldiers had packed up the main room and the study, Jia Hong asked the soldiers to carry his personal luggage inside, while sitting in the study for a while.

He turned out several documents and letters in his hand.

Now that we have arrived in Ganzhou, from the governor of the prefecture, to the counselor-general of the prefecture, to the provincial governor, to the provincial admiral, to the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and even the Fourteenth Master... these relationships have to be managed up and down.

Near Ganzhou, Jia Hong had to go out and walk around.

If it had been anyone else, maybe it would have been enough to deal with the boss of Ganzhou Prefecture.

But Jia Hong has the reputation of Anguo Mansion, and the old man Jia He is still a bit thin-faced, so naturally he has more people to contact.

As for giving gifts and money, Qin Keqing is in charge now, and Jia Hong doesn't need to worry about it.

He had also seen the accounts of An's house at the beginning of the year. In the first two years, he had spent more than 20,000 taels on gifts every year.

Although this is related to Jia Hong's two marriages, in fact, the category of "managing relationships" also accounts for the majority of expenditures, which is really a characteristic of the Wu Dynasty.

Even on the day of marrying Wang Xifeng, soldiers fired dozens of muskets to celebrate. Emperor Jianlong approved the matter, but the officials and eunuchs still had to take care of it!

Without the three generations of Anguo Gong’s property—the rent of fields, farms, and houses—the annual harvest of 40,000 to 50,000 taels would not be worth spending so much money!

It's no wonder that Wang Xifeng was extremely surprised when she learned that Jia Hong had brought home 60,000 taels of silver. At the time of rent and grain collection every year, although there is a lot of money in the treasury, it has to be spent later!

Afterwards, Jia Hong disposed of the letters and name cards and asked the soldiers to send them.

But before his butt could get hot, officials from the Office of Prosecution came to pass the news.。

“I've met Jia Shoubei, this is the emperor's reply to you! "The official handed over a secret message.

Jia Hong said unexpectedly: "How did the memorial office know that I arrived in Ganzhou today?

The official laughed and said, "Oh - I really don't know that! " If there is no one in Jia Shoubei's house, he will naturally come back the next day.。”

“Every official who reported a report left a report at a place he passed by, and the local reporting office would naturally follow up.。”

“In addition, the Governor has recently inspected various prefectures in Ganzhou Province, and the frequency of transmissions in Ganzhou has increased! "

Jia Hong nodded, and after sending away the officials, he thought that the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu is still in Ganzhou?! The

Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu is in charge of military and political affairs in the two provinces, and he can ask the civil governor and military attache admiral in the province for everything.

In this way, Jia Hong still It was really necessary to visit this feudal official!

It was only because Zhao Fangyong, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, had a close relationship with his father Jia Jinzhong.

Jia Hong kept this in mind and went back to the study to open the book of Emperor Jianlong. Turn back。

“Dear dear, when I receive this discount, I think you have already arrived in Ganzhou. The Ganzhou Guards are involved in a serious matter. I hope they can take action and arrange the city defense properly.。”

“But after all, the troops under your command are brave troops. In addition to the duties of defending the city, they will be assigned to other related matters in the near future. A transfer order will be issued at that time……”

“Last time, you mentioned the city defense fortress after leaving the customs. Since Zhenyuan Prefecture is not enough to choke it, what do you think? Do we need to expand Zhenyuan or relocate our troops? Re-selecting the location, where do you think is suitable for building a city and swallowing troops? On what basis? Can you lead an investigation?”

“In addition, although the war is serious, family matters should not be forgotten. It has been a long time since I heard that my beloved has given birth to a precious son. I am worried! I will give you a thousand taels to take a concubine in Ganzhou, and I will give you a fan as well.。”

“Fans are not particular, but fan pendants are special. When I gave birth to a child at the age of fourteen, I always carried the fan pendant with me. If you carry it with you every day, it may have miraculous effects!”

“Come on, I'm tired late at night and my hands are shaking. When your beloved comes back, talk less nonsense and write more business! "

Jia Hong threw the memorial to the ground with his backhand. This old emperor... is more anxious than the old man Jia He! What is the operation of the fan pendant? A fourteen-year-old boy, he seems to be very good?! He was also surprised. Ordinarily Wang Xifeng

and Li Wan has been pregnant. Jia Hong must be fine, but there is no harvest this year... He is not in a hurry, the emperor is!

Jia Hong laughed for a long time, thought about it, and took out another Qi Nourishing Pill. Cut it into fifty portions of the size of rice grains and put it in bottles. When the fan pendant is ready to be delivered, let the officials and eunuchs send it back.

Now Emperor Jianlong is also old. If he burps, the princes and the court will be in chaos. Now the Western Expedition is inevitable. He must be affected.

Besides, the emperor's old man treated Jia Hong well. Since he could use it to deceive Jia Zhen, let's give some to the old emperor to prolong his life. After preparing the Qi Yang

Pills, he compiled the memorial again.。
