Chapter 126
Let's say that Jia Cong and Prince Yizhong's granddaughter broke off their marriage by spreading cards at a tea stall on the street for a long time, which can be regarded as starting to get into the main topic, and it is quite unbearable. He raised his head with a smile and said, "That majestic and extraordinary tea boss, do you have tea?" β
The tea boss froze for a moment, and hurriedly took a tea bowl to pour a bowl for him.
The county lord pointed with a smile: "This is General Beringen." β
Jia Cong trembled in shock, and looked at others with wide eyes: "No! So young? β
Bai Lingen glanced at him: "The last general is already over half a hundred years old. β
Jia Cong hurriedly stood up and hugged his fists and said, "I'm sorry, General Bai, I occasionally hear Old Man Gong mention your name, and I always feel that you are as big as him." You've all come here, isn't there no one in the south? β
The county lord said indifferently: "It's okay. β
Jia Cong knew that he probably asked someone else's questions, so he didn't mention it anymore. Because he said to the county lord Zhengse: "There is a fishing island in Xin'an County, Guangzhou Prefecture, which is ...... east of the Pearl River estuary" He thought about it, and drew a rough map of the Pearl River estuary on the table with his fingers dipped in tea. Because he had inspected the Hong Kong subway in an important project in the company in his previous life, he left an impression on the map of Hong Kong by the way, so the drawing was not bad. "The place names seem to be called Hong Kong Island, the Kowloon Peninsula and the New Territories." It circles the location of the famous Victoria Harbour in later generations, and points out, "This is a natural harbor." β
Bai Lingen watched from the side and asked, "When did Third Master Cong go to Lingnan?" β
Jia Cong said: "I haven't been there, this is the first time I have been out of Beijing when I come back to Chang'an." β
Beringen said: "I see that the map you drew is as if you have been there. β
Jia Cong smiled: "People who have been there may not be able to draw it, this thing needs to be a very powerful character to draw well." I've just seen the map. β
Bai Lingen hurriedly asked: "I don't know who drew the map that Third Master Cong has seen?" β
Jia Cong has been used to nonsense in the past two days, and said casually: "She is a very knowledgeable aunt, her name cannot be examined, and everyone else calls her a mother." β
Bai Lingen frowned, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of a clue, and said: "I once bypassed this place from outside by boat, but I didn't check it carefully, and I don't know if it's really like the picture." β
Jia Cong said: "I believe in Du Niang's map, and I also believe in the 'natural harbor' she said. He continued, "I would like to consult with the lord of the county to establish a private port here without the knowledge of the imperial court." β
The county lord looked at the map and asked, "What is the purpose of establishing a private port?" β
Jia Congnai arched his hand and said, "County Lord, don't lie in front of real people." In this situation, your family is also short of money, my family is also short of money, and even your prince's family is short of money. Instead of trying their best to loot the people's fat and ointment and provoke the people of the world to be unpeaceful, it is better to try to make money from outside. With this port, smuggling is extremely cheap. What could be faster and more stable than doing business without paying taxes? Moreover, with this private port, even if you sit and collect the money for the boat, it is amazing. β
The county lord couldn't help but turn his head to look at Beringen.
Bai Lingen simply sat down at the table, full of interest: "Third master, please talk about it in detail." β
Jia Cong said: "Does General Bai know that the Western countries are extremely rich now? β
Beringen pondered for a moment and said, "I have seen some merchant ships from the West, but I don't think they are extremely rich. β
Jia Cong said: "I heard that most of the merchant ships coming to our country from the West are Jewish, and the Jews are frugal by nature, and they can't see how rich their families are. And not necessarily all the businessmen are rich. The most powerful thing about the Western countries today is that they have sailed around the world. He suddenly felt that the topic was too big, so he hurriedly stopped it, "That is, they have already defeated many extremely rich countries by ship and army, regardless of 3721, and loaded the shiploads of gold accumulated by the wealthy families of the temples of those countries for hundreds of years and transported them back to their own countries. β
The county lord and Bai Lingen were both shocked, and the county lord said first: "Isn't this a barbarian?" β
Jia Cong pouted and said, "Barbarian? They also said that it was the barbarians who were robbed. and occupied the land of other people, and used all their country, regardless of the king, and grass people as slaves, and sent them to the village to do farm work. β
The county lord said: "Aren't they opposed?" β
Jia Cong said: "Can't do it back." Because you can't beat it. β
The county lord was stunned again.
"Those minions were all captured, and the men didn't spend any money. The people of several countries are encircled in the country like cattle and sheep, and one day is counted as one day. When a Western master wants to buy a slave, the man will go to the street and the village to catch it at will, and if you are a prince and a beggar, you will catch it and send it to the Westerner's Zhuangzi. There are many people, and many people are cheap, so they are cheap. Because of the cheapness, neither the men nor the lord's family have ever valued their lives. If you are sick and incurable, you will be killed if you are not obedient. Those who do farm work are not well fed, so they have little strength. And they are all chained, and it is difficult for them to escape. He waved his hand, and went on to mention fire. gun, this time I didn't want to remind them of this, so I stopped there, and turned the conversation around while they were still surprised. "The money accumulated by several large countries over hundreds of years, they have moved it back! Whoever ends up with the money, his kingdom will become rich. As far as I know, all the countries of the West love tea, porcelain, silk and other things, and the profits of maritime merchants can reach hundreds of times when they are transported to the West to sell! β
Beringen gasped when he heard this.
"Because the Western princes and nobles got rich with the money they had robbed, and the rich were extravagant, and they all loved to ask for something fine and rare at a high price. And I am accustomed to fine craftsmanship. Jia Cong smiled lightly, "General Bai, there's a lot of money, why don't you get a few handfuls?" β
Half a day, Bering Encai said: "Now I am very forbidden to the sea." β
Jia Congnai pointed to the tea map on the table that had gradually faded and said, "That's why I said that with this private port, smuggling is extremely cheap." Although the sea ban is severe in our country, there are not many smugglers, because the smugglers do not have a large port and it is difficult to transport goods in large quantities. The two of them are a big cash cow cornucopia, just in Lingnan. General Bai once served as the governor of Liangguang, and now he has soldiers and horses in his hands. Emperor Tiangao is far from saying, the emperor is still busy dealing with his father and brothers and can't take care of others, how wonderful. There are also princes, princes, festival envoys, and local officials, who doesn't want to make money? Everyone earns money, as long as all parties are profitable, we are not afraid of people looking for trouble. β
Beringen pondered for a long time and said, "This matter is too big to be considered in the long run. And the current governor of Liangguang is not in agreement with me, I am afraid it will not be easy to hide from him. Also, the sailor is not in my hands. β
Jia Cong thought for a while: "Is there any way to transfer him away?" β
Bai Lingen glared at him: "Imperial court official, how can you be transferred if you want to?" β
Jia Cong smiled: "There is always a way." Whose man is he? It can't be that Imakami has been sent to keep an eye on you. β
Bai Lingen sighed: "He is an old minister of the old saint on the surface, and secretly he has already submitted to the present, but he was accepted by the virtuous king. β
Jia Cong couldn't help but grimace. Xindao: No matter how much Lao Tzu believes in Situ Pan, he can't help but be suspicious of him. Then he said, "In that case, let's go backwards." If you want to make a fortune, you have to establish a private port. If you want to establish a private port, you must replace the current governor of Liangguang as his own man, or subdue him as his own, or replace the sailor's man with his own people. When these are the three paths. Jia Cong pondered for a while, "Let the saint be suspicious and distracted from him?" β
The county lord said: "We can collect some evidence of his crimes, and we have this on hand." β
Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "It's useless." Since he is a man of today, he has not much at his disposal today, so what is the evidence of the crime? He is casual in killing people and setting fires, and there is no obstacle in perverting the law for bribes. β
Bai Lingen looked up at him, his eyes were a little cold: "You know these things at a young age?" β
Jia Cong snorted: "I haven't eaten pork and seen pigs run, I'm the master of Rongguo Mansion." β
Bai Lingen sighed: "You are like this, no matter how Mr. Zhan praises, the last general really doesn't dare to entrust the county lord." β
Jia Cong pouted and said, "Didn't the two of us make it clear?" The county lord is only such a big idea, and there are more good men in the world. Because he suddenly patted his head, "That, are you still my godsister?" Otherwise, the two of us still recognized my sister and brother, but I didn't rush to stick to you, for the sake of An Gong's old man's heart. β
The county lord smiled: "That's it, it's hard for you not to be dragged down by me, the daughter of a traitor who can't see anyone, so why don't you recognize your younger brother." β
Bai Lingen was shocked by Jia Cong's talent, and second, he also thought that this person was not a good match for the county lord, so he hurriedly said: "County lord, do you want to buy live chicken and red wine in the end?" β
The county lord waved his hand and said: "There is no need to be rigid, everything is inconvenient now." My Guancong brother is an unrestrained person, and he can have a heart. β
Jia Cong stood up and walked around the table to the county lord, and made three gestures to her with a fat face: "Meet Sister Yi." β
The county lord helped him up with a smile and called him "brother".
The others were dumbfounded, and the tea seller said for a while, "This ...... This is also too rash and frugal. β
Jia Cong said with a smile: "The wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha is sitting in his heart." If you have a heart, you can just say a word, what is the use of pretending to gamble and swearing. β
Bai Lingen couldn't help but stroking his palms when he heard this: "That's right!" Good boy, I'm getting more and more in favor of you. β
Jia Cong also clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay! Now the two of us are also closer. In addition, I found that I had no way to transfer the governor of Liangguang for the time being. β
The ancients valued faithfulness. Jia Cong simply saluted to the county lord and recognized his sister and brother, and the faint murderous aura around him suddenly dispersed. Bai Lingen looked at Jia Cong a lot closer, so he glanced at him and said, "If the affairs of the court were so easy, we would have avenged the prince a long time ago." β
Jia Cong had the heart to persuade them not to be too obsessed with revenge, and felt that it was a good thing for them to be obsessed with themselves at this time, so he kept silent. He added: "I'm just an empty talker, I'm not good at how to act, if General Bai is free, it's better to discuss with Wing." He's a thinker. β
Bai Lingen nodded and said, "It is extremely rare for Third Master Cong to be so old, and I am also familiar with Zhan Yizhi. He smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of Tuoda, I can be regarded as watching him grow up." β
Jia Cong smiled: "This is so good! The two of you can discuss the matter and save a lot of nonsense about each other's temptations. β
Bai Lingen asked again: "But I don't know the map drawn by that lady Du, do you still have it?" β
Jia Cong shook his head and said, "She didn't give it to me, and now she can't find anyone." β
Bai Lingen was very sorry, and when he returned to Lingnan, he secretly inquired about it, but found nothing. That's for later.
Jia Cong hugged his fist goodbye to them, and agreed that Gong Kun and Bai Lingen would meet in a restaurant in Chang'an City tomorrow, and then went back to Gao's house.
When he arrived at the East Guest House, Gong Kun had already returned and asked him how he met Zhu Tong. Jia Cong smiled: "It's a long story, how did you first tell me what you were listening to?" β
Gong Kun frowned slightly: "Zhu Tong is the second son of Zhu Wei, the Taishou of Chang'an, and he is friends with Liu Qian and the uncle of the Chen family. β
Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "It's a scholar from the general's family again." Do you know Zhu Wei? β
Gong Kun said: "I don't know. However, his father was a member of Prince Xianyizhong, because the old man left early and it didn't matter, Zhu Wei was extremely talented and not a party or a group, so he was never implicated. β
Jia Cong snorted: "It's strange if you don't have a party or a group!" I don't think the Duke of the Kingdom is also the Prince of Yizhong. β
Gong Kun hurriedly said: "Liguo Gong Liu Biao was originally an old sage and an old minister, and he has not been a director since he beat the old sage to make a mistake, and now their house is also quite chaotic, which is very similar to the early years in your house, I see that one generation is not as good as the next." But they never found out which prince they had dealings withβand they had nothing to do with Prince Yizhong that day. β
Jia Cong nodded: "That's Liu Qian himself, maybe it was Zhu Tong who won him over, I see that Zhu Tong has a bit of a leader temperament." Because he said, "About the whole Zhu family is Prince Yizhong's people." β
Gong Kun was taken aback a little, thought for a while, and couldn't help nodding: "That's the shadow." This shadow is buried for seconds, and it is buried in the open. Even though the saint suspected that Prince Yizhong had a secret son left, because he was the son of General Zhu, he was not suspicious of such a style. β
Jia Cong shrugged his shoulders, leaned lazily on the back of the chair and stretched: "That one doesn't do my business." Tsubashi, I've done another great job for you today, enough for you to keep busy for a long time. If it does, it will go down in history. β
Gong Kun smiled bitterly: "I can't be idle." What's the matter? β
Jia Cong said: "Work with the county lord of Lingnan and General Bai Lingen to build a private port. β
Gong Kun was stunned.
Jia Cong said again: "Just now I went to see the county lord, as well as Bai Lingen. By the way, I have recognized her as my sister-in-law, and I have also talked about marriage, and when I go back to Beijing to see the old man in your family, I can also give an explanation and choke him to death by the way. β
Gong Kun only silently listened to his scaring sentences after sentences, and when he finished speaking, he sighed lightly: "What else can the student say...... and spread his hands.
But Jia Huan hurriedly stretched out his head and came over: "What is the county lord like?" β
Jia Cong said: "It's very good-looking, it's a little dark, and it's about sunburned in Lingnan." It's so skinny. He looked up and saw that everyone who should know was there, so he told him about the matter, and only talked to the county lord about "your scoop and my scoop" with a few words.
Before he finished speaking, everyone didn't have time to discuss, only to hear someone outside hurriedly shouting: "Third master! Kyonaka Urgent Letter! β
Jia Cong was startled, and immediately turned around and pushed the door and stood at the door with his hands in his hands. I saw the shopkeeper Liu of Jia's horse shop running over, his face was dripping with sweat, and he couldn't even care about the number of courtesies, and handed him the letter in his hand: "Someone in Beijing sent an urgent letter quickly, and the child has fainted." said that something was wrong, this is the letter of Gong Da's shopkeeper. "I raised my sleeves and wiped my sweat.
Jia Cong hurriedly took it over, took out the letterhead, and hurriedly swept it up. Gong San also wrote an extremely long letter, which shocked him to open his mouth. After a while, he pinched the letter and turned his head. Jia Huan, Gong Kun and the others all held their breath and stared at him.
Jia Cong said slowly: "Yizhi stayed to discuss with the other side, and the others immediately packed up and returned to Beijing quickly!" β
Jia Huan hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" β
Jia Cong looked at Liu Feng with a wry smile: "People are not as good as heaven, you said that you had to keep Huo Xuan's life to take care of Huo Sheng, but he died." β
Liu Feng frowned and asked, "What do we have to do with him when he dies?" β
Jia Cong sighed: "He was killed by mistake." β
Jia Huan asked, "Who?" β
"Jia Baoyu." ββ
