On this day, Jalan received a message from the flying pigeon in the south, thinking that it was something important. The pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info unhooked the letterbox and took a look, it turned out that Jia Huan asked him to help him buy a big mansion for his third aunt, and Jian'an Gong mainly built a science and technology school. There were many Western missionaries in the capital, and Rongguo Mansion also invited a few to teach Jia Lan, so he knew what the word "science and technology" meant. Jia Huan asked him to make a big show again, so he sent someone to summon all the people in the real estate in Beijing to Rongguo Mansion, and hung a curtain to talk to people for a long time.

The Chinese people then went out vigorously to help Rongguo Mansion find a house, and spread the news of the capital in the blink of an eye. What Jia Lan said was: "My aunt, Princess Jian'an, wants to build a science and engineering school in the capital, and set up a heavy reward for skilled craftsmen who make practical new objects." This is a very clear statement. There are many people with mixed mouths, and it is rumored that Princess Jian'an wants to use heavy gold to invite skilled craftsmen to make novel objects, and the "heavy" of heavy gold is more and more mysterious, from the beginning of five hundred taels of silver gradually passed into a thousand gold.

Although Rongguo Mansion is rich, it rarely swaggers. When Jia Lan heard the rumors, he laughed and laughed, and only explained one or two things to his friends. Jia Rong then found an excuse to talk. Jia Lan shook his head and said, "Brother Rong, don't listen to the nonsense of people outside. It's just that Jian'an Gonggong is going to run a school. ”

Jia Rong asked, "Isn't the princess running a women's school?" Why do you want to run a school again? ”

"This time it's a polytechnic school." Jia Lan talked to him for a long time, barely explaining what the Bai Polytechnic School was learning. "I don't know why the third aunt built this, the third uncle only asked me to buy a good house, and they will prepare for enrollment when they come back." He thought for a moment and added, "Second Uncle Bao and Second Aunt Bao also came back with them." ”

Jia Rong was stunned. The king of Xining County has always thought that Rongguo Mansion is gradually sending important people to Taiwan Mansion, why are they coming back? After a while, he asked again: "They came back together?" ”

"yes." Jia Lan said, "They are all at Second Uncle Lian's, Aunt Lin is getting married." After the ceremony, they returned. Jia Rong's eyes flashed, and she diverted the conversation.

Within two days, Feng Ziying came to ask about the matter, and Jia Lan said it again. Feng Ziying nodded. He knew that the brothers of the Jia family liked craftsmen and stubborn weapons, and they also valued those things in the West; So he casually told Jia Lanmo to be too ostentatious. Jia Lan immediately bought a large house on the outskirts of Beijing, and bought a hill near Zuo for the school to experiment. There are also craftsmen who come to the door with stubborn tools made by themselves. Jalan made them record them one by one, and told them: "What my aunt wants is not a stubborn weapon, but a useful thing, and it doesn't matter if it looks good or not." I really don't know what she wants, so I might as well wait for them to come back. In this way, everyone in the world knows that Jia Huan and his family will return to Beijing soon. Although the king of Xining County was skeptical, it was inconvenient to go to Situ Pan for the time being.

At the other end of the Taiwan Mansion, after Chen Ruijin went out, Jia Cong couldn't cheer up. Because Wu Xiaoxi, the big shopkeeper of Red Bone Records, was going to Fujian to discuss business, Jia Cong followed. They didn't talk to Dai Xian's official body, so they went to Dai Xian's out-of-town residence in Fuzhou.

Jia Cong, pretending to be Wu Xiaoxi's assistant, followed her out of the carriage and saw a woman wearing a pink shirt and standing in front of the court with a handkerchief in her hand. In the past, Jia Cong once heard Tanchun chatting and said that pink is only beautiful for her little daughter, and she can't hold it down when she is older; Now I see this woman, but she is as delicate as a budding flower. They already knew that there was an Oiran raised by Dai Xian, and everyone called her a spring lady, who would be in her early twenties.

Wu Xiaoxi had seen this woman, and the two of them saw each other, and Chun Niangzi said, "Our master waited yesterday." He led them to the little flower hall at the back.

As soon as Jia Cong saw Dai Xian, he couldn't help touching his stomach. He was fat when he was young; In the past two years, I have lost a lot of weight outside the world, and I am still a fat person. And this Lord Dai Xian was of medium stature in his early years, and now he has become so blessed that Jia Cong must be a thin man when he stops beside him. saw Dai Xian stand up and bow his hand to Wu Xiaoxi: "Shopkeeper Wu." ”

Wu Xiaoxi smiled and arched his hand: "Master Dai, don't come unharmed." The two sat down with a few pleasantries.

Dai Xian glanced at the people brought by Wu Xiaoxi, and immediately recognized Jia Cong -- in the early years, Huang Wengang, the governor of Fujian, was kidnapped by the soldiers and horses of the Taiwan government, and Dai Xian was among the Fujian officials who accompanied the chief soldier Zheng Chaoer to ransom them. Later, the two sides signed a peace agreement, and the prefect of Taiwan, Jia Lian, invited all his colleagues to meet Jia Cong. Hurriedly stood up again: "Mr. Jia! What wind is blowing you in? ”

Jia Cong said with a smile: "What did Master Dai do when he stood up? I also want to save the back and forth salutes. But he hurried to make a bow to him. Dai Xian returned the courtesy. Jia Cong said, "I'm bored these days, come and take a look." You talk, I'll watch. ”

Dai Xian smiled: "Mr. Jia, don't coax me. How can you be bored and follow along. ’”

Jia Cong spread his hands: "Look, this is the disadvantage of being famous." If you tell the truth, everyone is suspicious. Seeing that Dai Xian looked at him but smiled silently, knowing that this man would never believe it, he had to say, "I am also curious about the slave trade, so I want to hear about it." Talking about business is really not Jia's specialty. ”

"What did you say?" Dai Xian immediately shook his head again, "Such a trivial matter can't alarm Mr. Jia." Nai looked at Wu Xiaoxi and said, "Shopkeeper Wu? ”

Wu Xiaoxi smiled slightly: "I really have other things." But now I'm ahead of me, let him wait. Dai Xian arched his hand in understanding.

Jia Cong then sat on the side and watched, listening to Wu Xiaoxi and Dai Xian discuss the sale of fire for a long time. Guns and artillery things. The rules of the Red Bone Chronicle are clear and uncompromised, and Dai Xian has known it for a long time. So the two of them talked very quickly. After talking roughly for a while, Dai Xian ordered the subordinates around him to go out, leaving only a master in the house, Jia Cong, and Wu Xiaoxi. Wu Xiaoxi sorted out the copywriting in his hand on one wall and signaled that Jia Cong could speak.

Jia Cong coughed and said, "Mr. Dai, do you know that your Lord Huang Wengang has recently obtained a secret order from the imperial court, or will you get a secret order from the imperial court in a few days, so that the Fujian Navy will fight with the Taiwan government?" ”

Dai Xian was shocked: "What?!" ”

Jia Cong shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know how quickly their secret order was transmitted, and whether Lord Huang received it." At first, I wanted to remind Lord Huang that the secret order was fake. ”

Dai Xian stood up in shock: "What?!" ”

Jia Cong slapped twice: "There is an idler who is particularly bold and has a very dead heart, in order to prove that there is a navy in Taiwan, he gave false secret orders to Lord Huang and Lord Zheng. Don't you have any news from Lord Dai? ”

Dai Xian's face suddenly sank. Now his business is getting bigger and bigger, and it is by no means comparable to ordinary people. If Fujian were to fight a war with Taiwan, the armed police on the streets of Chengtianfu would know that it would be difficult to win. This Jia Cong is a person who does not think of benevolence and righteousness, and it is difficult to say who will fall into his own hands when the time comes. Besides, the most devastating thing about war is commerce. Thinking of this, Dai Xian's face was black and white for a while.

Jia Cong took a sip of tea and said, "So I came to see Lord Dai, and I want to work hand in hand with Lord Dai to get what I need." ”

Dai Xian narrowed his eyes: "What does Mr. Jia want?" ”

"I want to ask Master Dai to be the governor of Fujian."

Dai Xian suddenly opened his eyes and shouted loudly: "Bold! ”

Jia Cong smiled and said, "By the way, Lord Dai, the county with your surname Dai seems to be in the county?" ”

Dai Xian said: "In this official family, the county is in Guangling. ”

Jia Cong said "oh": "It's different from Dai Quan, Dai Quan is in Qian County." However, 500 years ago, it was a family, and he still wore it with respect. ”

Dai Xian asked with a smile: "Dare to ask who this Mr. Dai Quan is?" ”

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Dai Quan, Dai Gonggong, in his early years, he was the confidant of the emperor, and he was the palace supervisor of Daming Palace. Dai Xian suddenly took a breath. Jia Cong was still smiling, "Didn't I just come back from the capital?" Father-in-law Dai is now by the Empress Dowager's side, in charge of everything in the Forbidden City, and there is--" he took a sip of the teacup, "and the Empress Dowager said a few years ago that the common people and officials can buy knighthoods with money. It's okay to say yes, but not everyone can do it. You see, my cousin is loyal to the Ming Hou Xue Pan Xue Hou ......," Dai Xian had a trace of disdain on his face. Jia Cong shrugged, "He wanted to buy the Empress Dowager at first, but he refused. thinks that he was born a businessman and his status is too low; I thought he was a broken sleeve. ”

Dai Xian was a smart one, and immediately guessed what happened later, and said, "Needless to say, Xue Daguan must have gone through the path of Dai's father-in-law." ”

"It's not a way out." Jia Cong said, "It's just that he helped persuade a few words." ”

Dai Xian smiled coldly, but Jia Cong looked at him and smiled silently. Dai Xian looked at him, and his mind spun like a spinning top. Jia Cong mentioned Dai Quan's father-in-law and the empress dowager for no reason, which obviously would not be unintentional. He also said that the order to attack the Taiwan government passed to Lord Huang was false. Jia Cong's collusion with Dai Quan must be true. Could it be that this matter is still involved in the dispute between the little sage and the Yan King? Hasn't Jia Cong been helping King Yan?

Jia Cong seemed to know what he had guessed, and said, "By the way, it was another head of King Yan who pretended to pass on the military order. When I say 'other', I don't mean 'Feng Ziying'. "At the moment, there is no Internet and TV station, and the capital and Fujian are thousands of miles away, and the king of Xining County is another leader of the Yan king" This matter has not yet been reported.

Dai Xian suddenly thought that this matter was caused by the infighting under King Yan, and he couldn't help frowning. If he didn't know who the "other" was, he wouldn't dare to stand by with his eyes closed.

Jia Cong sighed: "I really don't want to fight with Master Zheng." Although he can't beat us at all, this thing hurts the people too much, and it also hurts free trade very much. Boss Dai, I don't think it's better to beat your own people, you see? ”

Dai Xian has followed Huang Wengang for many years, and it was Huang Wengang who pulled it up. Therefore, even though his own business is very large, and the little cubs and stewards at home gradually do not take Huang Wengang seriously, Dai Xian himself still respects Huang Wengang the most. Therefore he remained silent for a long time and refused to speak.

Jia Cong said again: "Master Dai, do you know, why the Queen Mother can still swagger to sell her title?" That's not a good thing. Even if he is a foolish prince, he will not agree, not to mention that King Yan is a master. ”

Dai Xian followed him and asked, "Why is this?" ”

Jia Cong said seriously: "Because the Queen Mother wants to spend money~~ Who doesn't like white silver?" ”

Dai Xian said: "The Empress Dowager is only afraid that even her life is in the hands of King Yan, what can King Yan do if she doesn't agree?" ”

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Lord Dai, have you heard of the Ouchi Guard?" Tsk, I don't know how many people there are, let alone hundreds. is like the hidden girl in the legendary story, the red line girl, the elusive can take people's lives between lightning and flint. Dai Xian's eyes widened again. Jia Cong sighed, "As the saying goes, when the gods fight, the little ghosts meet." Master Dai, maybe you are better off as the governor of Fujian than Lord Huang Wengang. Lord Huang is a pedantic, and it is unknown when he got up in the morning and suddenly stuck a dagger in his chest; If he recuperates due to illness and temporarily finds a comfortable house in Fuzhou City to rest for a few years, he will always be able to live, right? ”

Dai Xian heard him say, "Please ask Lord Dai to be the governor of Fujian," and his heart was beating wildly for a long time -- who doesn't want to be a big official? It's just that I have respected Huang Wengang for many years. Listening to Jia Cong's words again, he thought secretly: I'm afraid that Feng Ziying, the head of King Yan, is fighting with others, and Jia Cong and Feng Ziying are in a group. And Jia Cong hooked up with Dai Quan, the supervisor of Daming Palace, and Dai Quan was able to influence the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager has hundreds of internal guards in her hands, relying on these people to level with King Yan. Now that "another person" falsely spread a secret order to let Fujian start a war with the Taiwan government, it is obvious that he wants to tear through the pretense of the barren and impoverished Taiwan government, in order to bring down Feng Ziying and Jia Cong. Fujian can't afford to provoke both ends. Since there was such a big accident, it can be seen that the "other person" and Feng Jia have reached the point of incompatibility. Jia Cong pulled Dai Quan and the Empress Dowager as helpers, and would rather have the inner guards kill Huang Wengang, the governor of Fujian, than lose this infighting.

If he didn't agree, Huang Wengang would have been killed by Ouchi's guards. No matter who wins between Feng Ziying and the "other person", once the battle starts, his business will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and the next governor of Fujian does not know who it will be. If you say yes...... Dai Xian thought about it, whether it was for himself or for Lord Huang Wengang, it seemed that he should agree.

Before he could make up his mind, Wu Xiaoxi suddenly opened his mouth leisurely: "By the way, I want to remind Master Dai of something." ”

Dai Xian looked at her with a smile: "What's the matter?" ”

"Lord Dai looks back, pay attention to your beautiful girl." Wu Xiaoxi said, "I also know that she was bought by Master Dai, and she may not be willing." If you are unwilling, you can't be easily bought. ”

Dai Xian's face suddenly sank: "What does Shopkeeper Wu mean?" ”

Wu Xiaoxi said indifferently: "There is no malice. The spring lady did not have an adult in her heart. Naturally, she inevitably said something nice in front of Master Dai, and I also memorized words such as concubine and eternal union, and it was not difficult to memorize. I didn't mean to debunk this. This matter is important today, and it is in her territory, so I have to remind adults to be careful. ”

Dai Xian's face was like gold paper, and it took a long time before he said, "Where did the shopkeeper Wu see it?" ”

Wu Xiaoxi lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "Whether a woman likes a man or not, you can tell it clearly from her eyes." "It's a tea.

Jia Cong didn't pay attention to the woman. Dai Xian is already over half a hundred years old, even if he was handsome in his early years, he is now so fat that even Jia Cong has become a thin man; The Spring Lady is only in her early twenties. If the woman didn't have him in her heart, Jia Cong would believe it. He shrugged his shoulders and glanced at Dai Xian as if he were looking at a fool. Dai Xian was only a little shocked, but when he saw Jia Cong's eyes, and because he also saw it, his suspicion suddenly rose.
