The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

Jia Yucun was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly bowed and said,

"I am deeply grateful for Mr. Jia's kindness, and I will repay him generously in the future!"

"If I can be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, Yucun will not hesitate to die!"

Jia Zheng felt even more satisfied after hearing this.

Jia Yucun is a tall and strong man, and looks honest at first glance.

Add to that the letters from my brother-in-law, who knows, they might be useful in the future.

Furthermore, his niece is now enjoying the emperor's grace. Although he is aware of some obvious and hidden things, this further proves that his brother-in-law Lin Ruhai is in the emperor's heart.

Smiling and waving his hands.

"Mr. Yucun, you are too kind. I am only seeking talents for the country. How can I be a person seeking rewards?"

After another round of greetings,

Jia Zheng pinched his beard and thought for a moment before saying,

"I have paid some attention to this matter recently."

Upon hearing this, Jia Yucun pricked up his ears and listened. Since this concerned his own career, he looked at Jia Zheng with a solemn expression.

Jia Zheng slowly said,

"Or is it that you are a few days late, sir? Of all the prefectures and cities in the world, only Yangzhou and Jinling have vacancies. I don't know if you are..."

Hearing Jia Zheng's words, Jia Yucun immediately felt MMP in his heart!

In the past, the prefects of Yangzhou and Jinling would have been highly sought after by countless people.

But what about it? How could he not know how the Yangzhou prefecture position became vacant?

He once worked as a tutor in the family of Lin, the Imperial Censor of Salt in Yangzhou. Although he was responsible for the education of Lin Ruhai's daughter, he was also Lin Ruhai's aide and knew more about street fashion than most people.

Within three or four months after the new Yangzhou prefect Li Kui took office, the rebels in Qingfengzhai turned the tables and started a rebellion.

Yangzhou City was breached by Qingfengzhai, and the Yangzhou prefect Li Kui was captured. His life or death was unknown, so he reported the vacancy to the Ministry of Personnel.

Asking him to go to Yangzhou to fill a vacancy, is that like an old man hanging himself because he thinks his life is too long?

As for Jinling, it was a normal change of term.

There was no one to fill the vacancy before, because many people did not have enough connections to connect with them.

In addition, there are many parties in the court vying for power. The term of the previous Jinling prefect has expired, but no one has been appointed yet, and many people are watching him with envy.

But after the emergence of the rebels in Yangzhou, the position of Jinling prefect, which was once very popular, instantly became a piece of shit, and people wanted to throw it to someone else.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that if the rebels in Yangzhou became powerful enough, they would definitely try to make inroads into Nanjing!

The harmony, wealth, and stability that everyone seeks in office is a blessing. It would be good if Nanjing could be held, but if something were to happen...

That would be giving Qingfeng Village a head!

However, Jia Yucun only complained about these things in his heart and did not say them out loud.

After thinking for a moment, he bowed to Jia Zheng with a somewhat embarrassed look and said,

"I appreciate Mr. Jia's kindness, but since you are in the capital, could you please help me take another look..."

Jia Yucun deliberately hesitated and did not say the following words.

However, Jia Zheng is also a veteran in the officialdom, so how could he not understand what he meant?

Hearing this, he pretended to be surprised and waved his hands.

"Ah, why is Yucun so shallow?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Yucun was slightly stunned, and looked at Jia Zheng as if he wanted to spit in his face.

Damn, if it were the past, he would probably be grateful if these two shortcomings could be filled.

But doesn't Jia Zheng know what's going on? He's still pretending to be nice.

However, his official hat still fell on Jia Zheng.

Jia Yucun feigned doubt and bowed,

"Please enlighten me, Mr. Jia!"

Jia Zheng then smiled and nodded,

"I understand your concerns, sir. However, the Great Qian Empire has been established for sixty years. The emperor is wise and the government is clear. These bandits can be wiped out in the blink of an eye! What kind of power can they have?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Yucun couldn't help but think about these words in his heart.

It seemed reasonable, so he bowed and said,

"I hope you can give me some advice!"

Jia Zheng nodded and continued,

"Sir, you have come north from Yangzhou, and I naturally understand your concerns. Nanjing is close to Yangzhou, and with rebels nearby, some unrest is inevitable!"
