It is said that Jia Cong said to Dai Xian that he would collect fennel as a brocade guard, and blatantly rested beside him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info In ancient times, no matter how bold the people who were officials, they were inevitably physiologically afraid of words such as Tianjia, Da Nei, and Jinyiwei, and Dai Xian had a sense of "sharing the spoils together" to Jia Cong for no reason. Jia Cong pondered for a moment and said, "Master Dai also knows that I have something to do with Red Bone Ji and have been working together for many years. ”

Dai Xian knew that the Taiwan government and the Red Bone Record were not involved, and he had been an official and businessman for many years, so after a little thought, he nodded and said: "Mr. Jia has been running around for many years, advising the princes of various families to buy firearms and send troops overseas. Red Bone Ji was originally just a small shop, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were the number one businessman in the world. It's all thanks to Mr. Jia. ”

Jia Cong took a sip of tea and smiled: "There is a kind of clownfish in the deep sea of the Pacific Ocean, which lives in the anemone bush, which can drive away other species of fish that feed on sea anemones for the sea anemones, and the sea anemones can also cover up and block natural enemies for the clownfish. It is for symbiosis. Nai raised his eyes and looked at Dai Xian, "It's like a symbiotic thing, officials and businessmen join forces, and they can be invincible in the world." I went around to fight the princes, the business of Red Bones became bigger, the princes got the spoils of the territory, the soldiers got the merits, I got the fame and the dividends of the Red Bones, and the common people got the opportunity to go to foreign countries to open up wasteland and mines and become rich people. It's a win-win – everybody wins. A plate with a diameter of three inches, even if it is filled with a plate of snacks, a person may not be full after eating; The 3,000-inch diameter plate is filled with dim sum, which is more than enough for a room full of people. Make the plate bigger, everyone has more portions, and everyone takes what they need. Master Dai, I know that you are ambitious and capable, and what worries you most is that you want to monopolize the entire business in Fujian. ”

Dai Xian shook his head with a smile: "Mr. Jia underestimated the lower officials, and no matter how big the appetite of the lower officials is, they know that the power of the family is limited. Lord Wang Ziteng is like a lot of officials, and the officials only take Lord Wang as a model. ”

Jia Cong smiled and stroked his palms: "Uncle Wang is really a model for officials and businessmen. At that time, I didn't expect this old man to be so sober, and he knew exactly what to do and what not to do. "As soon as the voice changed," Master Dai must also know that Fujian's earlier strength, if not stronger than Guangdong, at least was stronger than Guangxi. And now? ”

Dai Xian immediately said: "It's not as good as Liangguang." ”

"Master Dai has ever thought about where to lose?"

Dai Xian raised the teacup and drank it all, and sighed: "Lord Wang is too clever in the strategy of Liangguang. ”

"Why didn't Fujian learn it?"

Dai Xian smiled bitterly: "He is too bold, we Lord Huang don't dare." ”

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Lord Huang Wengang is an old Confucian, and he really has a lot of constraints. I see that Master Dai is much more enlightened than his old man. ”

Dai Xian raised his eyes to look at Jia Cong, thought for a while, and asked: "Mr. Jia, the lower officials see that the Taiwan government has never had the idea of annexing other places for many years, which seems to be unreasonable. ”

Jia Cong said: "The word 'annexation' obviously refers to the conquest within the territory of our dynasty? That's a lot of hurt. ”

Dai Xian suddenly realized: "Yes! Mr. Jia has always advocated foreign conquests. ”

Jia Cong said angrily: "The population of Taiwan is too small, so it is enough to guarantee that no one can move us." What's the urgency of expansion? The world is too big with fire. Guns and artillery are convenient to go anywhere on the ship, but there can be no civil war. I am precious to every people. ”

Dai Xian nodded again and again: "What Mr. Jia meant, the lower officials understand." ”

Jia Cong looked up at the sky and said, "When Lord Dai and Lord Huang and others were guests in Chengtian Mansion, I talked to you for a long time about the law of social development, and those books are also available in the bookstore of Taiwan Mansion. I knew that some of the adults might ignore it, but I didn't expect that almost no one listened; Only Master Dai seemed to have listened a little. ”

Dai Xian was silent. Jia Cong didn't say anything, the two of them were quiet for half a stick of incense, and Dai Xian smiled bitterly: "It makes a lot of sense." After all, we all came by reading the sage books, and it is difficult to believe them all. ”

"That's the habit!" Jia Cong sighed, "I obviously think it makes sense, but I still don't want to really try new things." Nai laughed, "Therefore, the background of the military general is still better, look at the prince Teng Teng is very good." ”

Dai Xian smiled bitterly again: "We have also pondered the strategies that Lord Wang did in Liangguang. ”

Jia Cong raised his eyebrows: "Then?" ”

"You can see that he trusts those books of your Taiwan government very much." Dai Xian said, "It's just that Fujian is so big, I can't push it alone." ”

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Lord Dai is too modest, there is nothing that the government can't push." Big deal, move on the word tax. When you look at Wang Ziteng's tax, does it look light, but in fact it is much? At the beginning, he reduced the tax on the factories that made match soap to almost nothing, so that the match and soap factories in other countries could not be opened, and the two markets were all Lingnan goods. He also used a large amount of tax money to build roads and schools, and it seemed that he spent a large amount of money, only in exchange for the worthless hearts of the people. When the road is repaired, the price of freight will be reduced, which is very conducive to the northern sales of goods. Merchants make more money, and Wang Ziteng's taxes have increased. Most of the schools he built were science and technical schools, and the students graduated to help improve the factory's technology, reducing manufacturing costs, making more money for merchants, and more taxes for Wang Ziteng. Sharpen the knife and do not mistake the woodcutter. In such a virtuous circle of Liangguang, he himself has always been at the helm, and he has earned more than anyone else and has a better official reputation than anyone else. Wang Ziteng is really a good official. ”

Dai Xian smiled and asked, "Why doesn't Lord Wang buy a knighthood?" ”

Jia Cong tilted his head slightly: "Does he need a knighthood?" Dai Xian's eyes widened suddenly, and Jia Cong drank tea and looked at the sky.

Dai Xian's mind suddenly thought very far, and his breathing became heavier. After a while, he said in a dumb voice: "Lord Wang, can you think about the future?" ”

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Have you ever thought about what will happen if this world cannot be unified for a hundred years?" What would happen if it could not be unified in 300 years? Dai Xian was stunned again. Jia Cong shook his head and said, "How can he be." A hundred years later, why do you want to do so much? The descendants of the future generations have their own way. Might as well they might as well be us? Even if the true dragon son is born, how can the descendants of Wang Ziteng be missing a county prince? Even if you will eventually lose the place of Liangguang, you have money, ships, guns, artillery, private soldiers, and overseas territory, and you can't afford to hide if you can't afford it, right? ”

Dai Xian raised his eyes and looked at him: "Lord Wang has overseas territory?" ”

"We have it at home." Jia Cong raised the teacup and shook it, "Although it's not big, it's a place." ”

Dai Xian thought for a while and said, "Yes." How can the Jia family not have overseas territory? ”

Jia Cong said: "After all, the Taiwan government still has to matter, and everyone's good is really good." If Fujian, Taiwan, and Guangxi can be connected together......"

Dai Xian took a deep breath: "It turns out that Mr. Jia came to me to discuss this. ”

Jia Cong smiled and nodded: "Cheers?" Dai Xian thought for a moment, looked at Jia Cong's round smiling face, no longer hesitated, and picked up the teapot to fill a cup for himself. The two touched each other with tea instead of wine, raised their necks and drank it all, looked at each other and smiled.

In the next few days, Jia Cong and Dai Xian had a very close relationship, and there were always two or three hours together to discuss how to move the prince to move the prince in Liangguang. Dai Xian came to Fennel and listened to their deliberations, and Jia Cong also asked her husband to teach her to read and write. Fennel has a good memory, reads very quickly, and is also considered to be the first few in the Dajiala Government Building.

On this day, Red Bone Ji received a letter from the capital, which was translated by Wu Xiaoxi. Several of Liu Xiaoqi's uncles remember the incident in Jinling twenty-three years ago. It turned out that when I went to Jinling to kill Zhen Deren's family that day, there were twenty-seven people, and they were asked to wear soft armor and pay attention to the hidden weapons. I never thought that Zhen Deren's family had nothing! The whole family is an ordinary person who has no power to tie the chicken, and a group of big masters killed seventy or eighty people inside and out, including the master and servants, inside and out, and the chickens, dogs, birds and cats have not been left, and there is no hidden weapon, Baba Er punched the air. After returning to Beijing, he gave it to the first emperor, who stood up in astonishment and was a little frightened. After thinking for a long time, he muttered, "Where else can I put it?" And he sent them down.

Jia Cong and Wu Xiaoxi pondered for a long time, and Wu Xiaoxi said: "Zhen Deren has something in his hand, a hidden weapon. The first emperor thought it was in his own hands. Because he was afraid of it, he never extinguished his mouth. ”

Jia Cong continued: "However, that thing is not in Zhen Deren's own house. It will definitely not be on Zhen Yingjia's mansion. "According to what they say, that thing must have been used to protect against thieves." Could it be that Zhen Deren privately swallowed the mechanism used by the imperial tomb to prevent tomb robbers? ”

Wu Xiaoxi said: "Or the mechanism that hides the secret room of the palace." ”

"He wouldn't have made it alone, or he would have managed to make another set and keep it at home. It gets a lot of craftsman cooperation. In addition to being responsible for carpenter's work, Zhen Deren also has to be responsible for assembly. Jia Cong frowned, "That's not right. If he dared to be so blatant, the army would have surrounded and suppressed his family long ago, even if he would have killed many soldiers in vain, it would not be a problem, and the soldiers were pawns in the eyes of the emperor. ”

Wu Xiaoxi couldn't help but nodded: "Could it be that the first emperor thought he still needed him?" Then why did you let him go back to his hometown? ”

"The first emperor didn't know whether he needed to get him at first, so he kept him alive. One day, when I am sure that I don't need it, I will be relieved to boldly extinguish my mouth. It doesn't seem right, didn't the old man say that the first emperor ordered him to make something, he didn't have to return it, and if he used it, he would be destroyed......" Jia Cong couldn't guess what was going on back then, even if he had the amount of information in later generations, he shook his head and said, "No." The thing he was talking about wasn't referring to the old camphor box, it was something else. The box itself exists to be opened, and there is no need to destroy Zhen Deren's mouth because of this. Besides, the box itself doesn't matter, it's the contents that matter. ”

Wu Xiaoxi said: "That's something else?" What else is most important about the emperor's family? ”

Jia Cong repeated it several times in his mouth: "If he doesn't have to, just pay it back; If it is useful, those who know it will surely cease to speak. "It doesn't seem like a good thing." The first emperor did something bad with what Zhen Deren did? ”

Wu Xiaoxi glanced at him: "The emperor is not afraid of people knowing what bad things he does, and even the history books are written by them." ”

"It makes sense, too. The power of the emperor itself is unlimited. Jia Cong stretched, "I don't want to, go back to Dajiala to discuss with everyone." ”

Two days later, Jinling's reply also came. Zhen Yingjia is really a good example. In order to make money, no matter what the person looking for him to inquire did, he poured out all the things about Zhen Deren. The detailed work in Jinling was afraid that Jia Cong and they were in a hurry to wait for the letter, so they first wrote the code letter and put it in the carrier pigeon tube, and the detailed letter was sent quickly.

It turned out that Zhen Deren studied under an old carpenter as a teacher. The old carpenter saw that he was clever, and passed on all the skills in his belly to him. Later, the first emperor sent people to find the heirs of the famous craftsmen of the previous dynasty, and heard that it was in the area south of the Yangtze River, so Zhen Yingjia took care of the matter. After several years of investigation, although there is no evidence, I suspect that the eight achievements I am looking for are Zhen Deren's teacher. The old carpenter had been dead for several years. Zhen Yingjia was reluctant to take credit, and he didn't want to push his cousin out in a daze, so he played a heartfelt game and recommended Zhen Deren to the first emperor, and pretended to say that it was for him to glorify his ancestors. Zhen Deren couldn't say anything, he just hoped that the first emperor would look down on him. How could the first emperor not understand the hidden words in Zhen Yingjia's compromise? A holy decree came down and transferred Zhen Deren to the capital.

After Zhen Deren entered Beijing, Zhen Yingjia didn't know what he was doing. I couldn't hear from this person at all, and I didn't know if he was dead or alive. Naturally, he didn't dare to ask the first emperor about it, just if there was no such a clan brother. It wasn't until thirteen years later that Zhen Deren suddenly returned to his hometown in fine clothes, and he was played with as a petty official. Zhen Yingjia knew that he must have made great contributions, so he had a lot of closer contacts with him. Zhen Deren was lukewarm to him at first, but over time he became harmonious.

Twenty-four years ago, Zhen Deren suddenly came to see Zhen Yingjia, saying that he was afraid that he would die in a year, and begged Zhen Yingjia to help him keep a piece of blood. Don't ask him to hide a male grandson, it's okay to hide a female grandson. Zhen Yingjia was already suspicious of what this brother was going to do that no one would know. After hearing this, the underground part of the imperial mausoleum was about to be repaired, and he guessed whether the clan brother would have repaired the tomb for the saint in the previous years. The secrets of the emperor's mausoleum were the most, and after the repair, those who knew about it had to be extinguished. If this is the case, it will surely die. remembered that this brother of the clan had stabbed the Son of Heaven by himself, leaving a granddaughter who would also have a foreign surname sooner or later, and Zhen Deren had never committed any crimes; A few thoughts were mixed up in one place, and he agreed.

Later, it was Fennel who was sent to Zhen Yingjia's mansion as a slave as the daughter of the Bai family. Half a year later, Zhen Deren's Mansion was robbed and killed by mountain bandits; Zhen Yingjia knew that it was the work of the master of Ouchi, so he sighed, and secretly did a few magic things for their family. It's just that he has stolen fennel, and his heart is also scared. Fortunately, the first emperor didn't know about it at all, and still favored him as before. Three years later, fennel was on the cutting edge. Zhen Taijun was frightened and said, "Such a clever child, shouldn't Deren tell her anything?" "I was afraid that Fennel would cause trouble for her family when she grew up, so she hurriedly found an excuse to sell her mother and daughter.

Eight months before the death of the first emperor, a eunuch quietly came to Jinling with the secret decree of the emperor and asked Zhen Yingjia if he knew about Zhen Deren. Where did Zhen Yingjia dare to say that he had hidden a granddaughter from someone else? Except for fennel, the rest is said. The eunuch was suspicious when he heard this, and said, "The miscellaneous family will go back to Beijing to play with the sage." If you think about it carefully, there is something missing, and the miscellaneous family can't say that it will come back next year. He walked away. Zhen Yingjia was frightened.

The eunuch did not come to Jinling again the following year, and never came again. The Emperor disappeared when he sent a spirit to the first emperor. Since then, no one has inquired about Zhen Deren.
