Chapter 462 Rectification Movement (2)
In late April, the wind gradually blew up in the Jia Mansion.
The reason was probably because Master Huan San sent someone to the Tielan Temple outside the city to capture Jia Qin. It is said that the boy was arrested by the soldiers who were like wolves and tigers on the nun at that time. The ten people including Huang Zongqi brought back from Yangzhou by Master Huan San was all good at it.
Jia Qin's crime of prostitution and gambling in a house was implemented. This is not a crime and will not be sent to the government, but it is definitely not suitable for the family temple. How can these filthy things in the temple be worthy of our ancestors?
The four great housekeepers in Ningguo Mansion Li Hua, Li Wei, Liu Chao and Zhang Tao gathered together for a drink on the afternoon of April 22, and sighed during the meal.
According to Mr. Rong's words, the Third Master was going to rectify the tragedy in the two mansions and clans. Their officials didn't catch up with the good times! Thinking about Lai Da and Lai Sheng were so powerful when he was the general manager? Even Brother Qiang had to call him Uncle Lai. Now, don't even think about it, you have to be careful to worry about the Third Master, which led to a reshuffle and was eliminated.
In Rongguo Mansion, Shan Daliang, Lin Zhixiao, Wu Xingdeng and Zhang Cai were sitting in the management office, looking at each other. Outside, Jia Yun was directing people to build a platform. He heard that Master Huan San was going to summon people from all over the mansion and speak.
What the four housekeepers think is their own. Dan Dalian is afraid in his heart. Master Huan San had long said he would check the account of building the Grand View Garden, and now it has begun. Lin Zhixiao and Bafeng remained unmoved. He did not violate the rules of Master Third. Wu Xingdeng was worried. He was in charge of money and his foundation was not clean. Zhang Cai sneered in his heart. He leaned against Master Jia She. If the third master was to do something, he would be sorry. He would definitely listen to Master.
The platform about one meter high was gradually taking shape, and the sunset was already slanting. Jia Rui helped to move the water tank in front of the platform. When he returned home, his grandfather Jia Dairu sighed, "The third master Huan is too murderous. It is not a gentleman's way. Why bother to make peace with the whole clan?"
Jia Rui said with a funny look: "Grandpa, the third master wants you to teach me when doing things? He is a Tanhua." He smiled and shook his head, sat down to have a meal. His wife came over with the meal.
In the night, Lou, who lives under the corridor, lit a lamp and urged his son Jia Jun to study. Now, in addition to subsidies, there are scholarships in the clan school. Her son has been working hard and won a second-class scholarship of 2 taels of silver per month. Otherwise, if someone like her would not use oil lamps at night?
"Study with peace of mind these two days, don't worry about anything, do you know?"
"I understand, mom."
…
…
At the same time, Jia Qiong, Jia Chen, Jia Lin and several other Jia family members from the Ningguo Mansion gathered together to have a drink, and they all smiled bitterly.
Jia Qiong sighed: "The third master's career is not going well now, and he has a lot of time. I'll mess with us."
Several people laughed.
Jia Chen said: "It's also a big blame for that boy Jia Qin being too pretentious. Damn it took less than two months after taking office."
"Look at it tomorrow."
There is nothing scary about these children who are close to Jia Rong. The third master has always been very good at doing things.
…
…
In the yard of Aunt Zhao next to the East Crossing Courtyard, there are lit up. In the warm pavilion, Ruyi is talking to Aunt Zhao's maid Xiaoque, "If the Daopo Ma comes again, you can send someone to inform the Third Master."
Xiaoque nodded, "Don't worry, I know."
Ruyi smiled with a pursed lips and looked pretty. A maid like her also felt the atmosphere of the storm in the mansion.
…
…
In the moonlight, Jia Huan wrote a note and handed it to Xiangling who came to pass the message. Sister Bao was worried about whether something might happen.
"Xiangling, go." After Jia Huan replied to the letter, he smiled gently and sent the dazed-looking beautiful girl Xiangling back to Hengwuyuan.
Then, I sat at the desk and revised the draft for tomorrow's speech.
This rectification movement, he had to solve two problems: First, take Jia Qin's affairs as an opportunity to thoroughly investigate the accounts of the Jia family in the construction of the Grand View Garden, eliminate waste, corruption, and set a new rule of service:
In the future, the service fee will only be one-tenth of the total. It must not be higher.
Like in the original book of the Red Mansion, trees were transplanted in the Grand View Garden, Fengjie gave Jia Yun 300 taels, but in fact it only costs 50 taels.
Second, thoroughly clean up Ma Daopo and others. Buddhism can be believed, but this kind of ghosts and monsters who cheat on money and are disgusted with victory must be cleaned up.
…
…
April 24th, the day of Mu Xiu.
In the morning, five or six hundred people from Ningrong and the two mansions went to the management office at the East Corner Gate of Rongguo Mansion. A wooden platform about 1 meter high was built on the open space in front of the management office, with a long table on it.
There were chairs, stools, etc. Below the stage, those who had no identities could only stand in the corridor, outside, and on the aisle. They were densely packed with people.
There were a thousand people in Rongguo Mansion alone. In addition to the maids, servants, mothers, and servants who were on duty everywhere in the back house, they were basically here.
The atmosphere was a bit serious, and no one would think that today was playing the stage. The rumor had long been heard: The Third Master wanted to rectify the wind. Not many people could understand the word "rectification wind", but they all knew it would not be a good thing.
At about 8 o'clock in the morning, Jia Huan, Jia Lian, Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, and Jia Yun came out of a courtyard in the front yard of Rongguo Mansion and brought Changsui and servants over. Jia Huan, Jia Lian, and Jia Rong took a few people to the platform. After sitting down, the scene quickly calmed down.
Jia Huan gently clicked on the table and started today's speech. With the help of the amplification effect of the water tank, his voice made the children, housekeepers, officials, small leaders and servants in the audience hear clearly.
"Today I want to gather everyone together, I want to talk about the style of our Jia family.
What style issues? To put it together, there are two points. First, greed - impurity, waste. Second, sectarianism.
Why do we need to talk about this issue now? Because this is a major issue that concerns everyone's meals. The annual income of the mansion is fixed. The salary of the master, the master, and the brother Rong, the rewards of the palace, and the rent. In addition, some shops outside in the past two years have increased year by year.
What will happen if you don’t make ends meet? If I don’t tell you, everyone knows it in their hearts.”
A slight and echoing laughter sounded off the court. Jia Huan's speech was as good as possible. As a famous Tanhua and the male protagonist in the mansion, speaking in such a clear language, it is quite impactful and attractive to the people in the Jia family. You can listen to it.
Jia Huan continued: "How do we solve the problem of greed, impurity and waste? To make a plan, you must review how much you need and how much you actually use. From today on, the funds for doing things will only be controlled at 10%.
Some people are thinking, what can you do if I don’t do this? This is the second question, sectarianism, which emphasizes demarcation and territoriality. Who is the one who belongs to me? I want to say that this is not OK...
We oppose corruption - waste, and sectarianism. We must expose the mistakes we have made before, be merciless and have the courage to criticize and self-criticize. Our purpose is not to kill people, but to save people like doctors.
Anyone who makes mistakes, as long as he is hopeless and willing to make corrections honestly and truly, will welcome him, cure his faults and make him a good comrade.
We must resolutely crack down on those who refuse to repent, who have not changed their knowledge and actions without unity. We must be strict, harsh, and quick.
People and groups in any place are roughly composed of three parts: more active, intermediate, and backward. Therefore, we must unite activists, improve intermediates, and strive for backwards.
Regarding the rectification issue, I will preside over it, and the specific work will be handled by you Mr. Rong and Mr. Lian. You can contact them for your problems."
At the end of Jia Huan's speech, there was no applause. It was not that he was not good at speaking, but that applause was not popular now. Only some people who supported him were applauding below, sparse and unpredictable. Most people were pondering.
However, Jia Huan didn't care. He had already made clear what he wanted to say. At that time, he would do something to clear people and not say that he would not be able to say anything.
Overall, there are three main points. First, a group led by him, Jia Rong, the head of the Jia family, and Jia Lian, the heir of the Rongguo Mansion, was established to preside over the Jia Mansion's rectification movement.
Second, encourage the servants of the Jia family to expose each other and spit out the embezzled silver. Those who cannot spit out must be punished. As long as people are alive, they can always create value. Labor produces value.
Third, we must resolutely rectify individuals and stubborn individuals and never show mercy.
On April 23, the summer was hot. The people in the Jia family, located outside the Rongguo Mansion Management Office, had a cool breeze blowing in their hearts and sweating. Who can guarantee that they will not be reported by others? They are all aware of the truth.
An investigation and rectification movement in Jia's mansion began.
…
…
"Haha, what shit is this written?"
That night, Mao Kun, commander of the Jinyiwei, looked at the files compiled by his subordinates and laughed loudly.
I have to laugh. The famous poets of the country, Tanhua, Hanyuan Cichen, and Qingliu, wrote such colloquial chapters. It really makes people laugh! When it is spread, the capital will be sensational.
The Jinyiwei of the State Dynasty set up one Jinyiwei commander (Zheng San), two commanders, two assistant commanders, and two governors. The Beizhenfu Office is external, and is named Zhaozhu. The Nanzhenfu Office is within the Jinyiwei. It has fourteen thousand households and the Jinyiwei. When the number of people is small, more than one thousand people, and when the number of people is large, it reaches 40,000 to 50,000. It is responsible for guards, ceremonial guards, investigation, and court sticks.
The Jinyiwei of the Yongzhi Dynasty was very active, and the scale can be imagined.
The Zhou Dynasty did not casually grant the official positions of the Jinyiwei to descendants of the heroes in the Ming Dynasty, just like the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, they were all real positions.
A Qianhu, who had been following Commander Mao for a long time, smiled and said, "Sir, although the words are a little straightforward, the truth is still very correct. I think he is likely to do it."
Mao Kun nodded. As the intelligence leader, he could still judge whether Jia Tanhua's reputation could be created and said, "Don't worry about it. As long as it doesn't clean it up on our people."
"Sir, what about this manuscript?"
Mao Kun smiled and said, "It's spread. I really want to see how shameful the Tanhua from Jinke is."
…
…
Jia Huan's straightforward speech soon spread as the Jinyiwei was secretly pushing it, causing a sensation. Even Emperor Yongzhi, who was escaping the summer heat in the Daming Palace, knew it, and laughed.
People at that time had different reactions. Some supported them, while others opposed them.
However, none of these could affect the rectification movement in the Jia Mansion. The group composed of Jia Huan, Jia Lian, Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, Jia Yun, Wang Xingsheng and others received a large amount of information every day. The result was shocking.
The extravagance and waste in the Jia family has reached a very serious level, and people are overstated. Moreover, calling this "public and majestic style" is extremely nonsense. It is very necessary to lay off a group of people.
