Because of Situ Pan's help, Jia Cong invited two imperial doctors from Tai Hospital: one surnamed Hou, who is very good at pregnant women's conditioning; One surnamed Qi is the holy hand of obstetrics. and invited four midwives and four medical women, Qin Sangu helped him collect some good medicinal materials that could be used, and a group of people went to Ping'an Prefecture.

Before leaving, Jia Cong first gave each of them a generous gift, and said that he would thank them again after coming back, and he smashed these people with money to make them happy. Along the way, he was quite polite to everyone, played the emotional card when he had nothing to do, and pulled a few pieces of chicken soup for the soul to make the midwife and doctor melancholy and moved. He also took the opportunity to propose that "when I heard that a Western doctor met a woman with dystocia, he opened her abdomen and took out the fetus, and then sutured her abdomen with a steel needle to lead the sheep intestines, and the mother was safe and sound." The two imperial doctors were extremely interested and asked again and again. Jia Cong had never been married in his previous life, and he was an engineering man, so his understanding of modern medicine was limited to common sense. However, some common sense is rare in this day and age. For example, penicillin. Penicillium can be naturally produced by paste, orange peel, etc., which cannot be purified at present; This substance can be used to heal injuries and even treat tuberculosis, and it can be of some benefit to the development of medicine. The two imperial doctors listened to many of his words along the way, and they were all full of interest.

When I arrived at Gao's house, it was noon reads;. Because of the news from Pegasus, Gao Li led his three sons out to greet him.

Jia Cong hurriedly jumped off the horse and hugged his fists with a smile: "I'm really sorry to disturb my cousin and cousins for lunch." ”

Gao Li also said with a smile: "The virtuous nephew came just in time, and the reception banquet has been prepared." ”

Jia Cong let out an "ah", and Lai Pi grabbed his sleeve and said, "I haven't seen my sister since I went south, and my nephew wants to take a look first, okay?" ”

Gao Mang said: "Knowing your temperament, your sister is in the Yimen." ”

Jia Cong was stunned: "Isn't she pregnant?" How do you run around? ”

The doctor at the back said: "Sister Ling is less than three months pregnant, and since she is plain and strong, some actions are fine." ”

Jia Cong smirked a few times: "After all, interlacing is like separating mountains." ”

Gao Hua joked on the side: "It's a loss that you are the brother-in-law, otherwise the third child may not be jealous." ”

Jia Cong said angrily: "Second cousin doesn't know, I didn't have my mother when I was two years old, and my father didn't care about anything, my sister made all kinds of clothes, shoes and socks for me, and my eldest sister is like a mother." ”

Gao Ying said: "Sure enough, it's the same as our old lady guessed!" Nai glanced at Gao Hua.

Jia Cong said: "My aunt and grandmother are so old, and she has eaten more salt than we have eaten, so naturally she has seen everything." Everyone laughed and went in.

Only then did he see the Yimen, Jia Yingchun stood with a smile on his cloak, describing it as usual. Jia Cong said "wow": "Sister, you are still so beautiful!" ”

said Yingchun immediately smiled and opened his eyebrows: "Playing poor again!" The two sisters and brothers joined hands, and Yingchun stroked his head and neck and sighed, "It's dark, and I'm thin." ”

Jia Cong said: "Sister, I'm already black, isn't it great that the fat man has lost a little weight?" Brother Huan couldn't sit still. ”

Yingchun pinched his ear.

Jia Cong said "oops" twice, turned his head just to see Gao Mang, and looked at him a little grateful: he took good care of his sister!

When they got inside, Gao Li set up a banquet to entertain their group, and talked about all kinds of things these days. Gao Li sighed: "Cong'er, sure enough, as you said back then, as soon as the first emperor left, the kings demolished the world. ”

Jia Cong said: "It's okay like this, if the emperor doesn't die for a day, the kings will be like a sharp blade hanging over their heads, and they don't dare to make a big move." ”

Gao Li asked in a low voice: "Where is the Emperor Taishang?" ”

Jia Cong said: "This has to ask King Xian." Oh, King Yan. ”

Gao Li was stunned, "Oops": "It turned out to be him!" It's weird, he knows the roots, how can others be so easy. ”

Jia Cong sighed: "He is also a last resort. The Emperor Taishang has been guarding against him since a few years ago, with such a suspicious temperament, the birds have not finished their good bows, and the cunning rabbit and the undead lackeys will cook first, and sooner or later he will be killed. Isn't the virtuous king stupid, don't you do it in advance, wait for death? ”

Gao Li nodded, shook his head again, and drank a large bowl of wine.

Jia Cong asked again: "Uncle Cousin, it's cold this time, how are South American potatoes grown in Ping'an Prefecture?" ”

Gao Li was overjoyed and stretched out his thumb: "It's really easy to grow and high-yielding reads;!" The best thing is not afraid of the cold! Great, great! Cong'er, you have done me a great favor in Ping'an Prefecture! ”

Jia Cong said with a smile: "This thing was transplanted from South America by Westerners more than 200 years ago. The air in the West is cold, and there has been a famine for thousands of years, which finally came to an end. We can only grow this in the cold weather in the south, and you are very suitable for it here. Speaking of which, there's something I'd like to discuss with my cousin. ”

Gao Li hurriedly asked what was the matter.

Jia Cong said: "Uncle Cousin, we have experimented with an excellent method of drying salt. I would like to discuss with my cousin that in the coming day, when our method is properly tested and we can produce a large number of low-priced and good salt, Ping'an Prefecture will not grasp illegal salt. ”

Gao Li was taken aback: "The salt class is extremely important!" ”

Jia Cong said: "The salt class is important, it is nothing more than two things. First, the amount of salt is limited; Second, there is a lot of money for the salt class. Now we have a way to dry a lot of salt - we are an island there, and the weather is still hot; Moreover, this law will also try to be introduced to the kings of the coast, even if the princes who are not coastal can also go to the coast to buy salt workshops. Therefore, the amount of salt is not an issue. ”

Gao Li nodded.

"As for money, it's not an issue. Uncle cousin, since you don't catch illegal salt in Ping'an Prefecture, the interests are the underworld walking with the wind! It doesn't take more than a month to manage and protect the world. It is necessary to know that salt merchants and salt dealers are the richest people in the world. They know that you don't grab smuggling salt here, and that you have a lot of salt here, which is good and cheap, so naturally they will come one after another. When they came, they wanted to eat, they wanted to stay in a hotel, they wanted to go to the kiln and the casino, and they wanted to buy some good things and go back to honor their father and mother and coax their children. These are your taxes! Much more money than a salt class! ”

Gao Li couldn't help but exclaim: "Gao Ming! ”

Jia Cong grinned, and then said: "Besides, Ping'an Prefecture is only seven or eight days away from the capital, and it only takes ten days to walk slowly, and it is very convenient to transport things." In these days of chaos in Beijing, several of us have made a lot of bargains. There are also sea goods, which are not as good as in the past in Beijing. Uncle Cousin can get two commercial streets, one sea street and one land street. ”

Gao Li's interest became more and more high, and he got closer: "You can make it clear!" ”

Jia Cong dipped his finger in wine and drew a picture on the table, while saying: "Choose two adjacent streets, one with all the shops of seafood, and the other with shops of antiques, jade and gold shops and other valuables, and send excellent soldiers to patrol day and night, and never allow thieves to come here." When the salt merchants and salt sellers come to Ping'an Prefecture to sell salt, they inevitably have to go to the market. People asked, 'This uncle, is there anything interesting in your city?' The uncle said, "Guest officer, you are a foreigner, right?" Come to us, if you haven't visited the sea street and the land street, you haven't been here! ''Uncle, where is the Maritime Street and Land Goods Street?'' What's there? He said it vividly, and the Gao brothers who were listening laughed.

Jia Cong said: "These shops can be filled with just a few of us at first. Uncle cousin rest assured, the management and guarantee goods are at a regular price and cost-effective. When there are more people who buy it in the future, the shop will naturally prosper, and it will be a lot of money to transfer the shop at that time. There are good things and cheap ones, and you are afraid that the rich will not buy them? Seeing Gao Li's eyes getting brighter and brighter, he continued, "The street next door can also be a street for foodies, so that they can eat when they are tired of shopping, and buy it after eating!" Not far away, there are up to three streets away is the kiln, and you can buy it again tomorrow after sleeping overnight! ”

Gao Li laughed! Lian Zan: "You kid is really a person with a background!" It's hard for you to come from! ”

"If you have money, you can buy a war horse. Since there are potatoes in Ping'an Prefecture, which are cheap and cheap, they are cheap, so they don't have to worry about not being able to feed people. There are Jiage, horses, and people, and everything is easy to do. ”

Gao Li high-fived and said, "Okay! ”

"There is one more that is extremely important. Don't ask where you come from. ”

Gao Li thought for a while and said, "But there are stolen goods?" ”

Jia Cong nodded: "In addition to stolen goods, there are also smuggled things." I also have to bother my cousin to help them wash their white and get a serious paperwork, which can ensure that Ping'an Prefecture is safer than other places. ”

Gao Li said: "I understand the sale of stolen goods, where does security come from? ”

Jia Cong smiled and said: "How many of the princes, adults, and even harem mothers' mothers are clean?" will come to sell the stolen goods. Those two commercial streets will not only be the cornucopia of my cousin, but also the cornucopia of the princes. Who would dare to casually smash everyone's cornucopia? The state of Hean is not large. It's not big, it's lush, it's valuable. If there is a war in the coming days, you must know that the war is the most devastating of commerce. One is that the kings will not destroy the place where they and the princes next to them sell their stolen money, and the other is that they feel that this place is too small, and it is easy to fight, so they are not in a hurry to fight, but it is safe. ”

Gao Li pondered for a long time and said, "It is reasonable. sighed again, "If the prince of any family gets you, he won't be able to win the world." ”

Jia Cong also sighed: "I don't dare to trust the surname Situ." King Xian helped the emperor as a half-brother, but he was also forced to rebel. ”

Gao Li looked at him and said, "Why are you actually standing on the side of King Xian?" ”

Jia Cong said: "I don't think King Xian is wrong at all. Since the day when the Emperor Taishang was suspicious of him, with his ability and merits, if he didn't, he would die. He deserves it. ”

Gao Li was silent for a long time, sighed lightly, stretched out his head to Jia Cong's side and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to support him?" ”

Jia Cong shook his head and said in a low voice: "One doesn't know if he will be another emperor when he gets old, and the second doesn't know if his children and grandchildren are reliable or not, and third, if you want to support him, there is someone more suitable than him." ”

Gao Li hurriedly asked, "Who?" ”

Jia Cong grabbed Gao Li's hand and pinched it: "Uncle Cousin, don't ask, mix horizontally and vertically, if it's really not easy to mix, it won't be him who wants to stand up." ”

Gao Li also squeezed his hand back and nodded.

After lunch, Jia Cong went to see his sister in Gaomang's courtyard. Yingchun is a little richer than before, and I don't know if I will be a mother, and my expression is becoming softer. There are also people from Rongguofu who came to kowtow. Before the spring wedding that day, Jia Cong told Si Qi and other maids that they had to be a pair to marry in the past, so that they could find a good husband in advance. Si Qi really married her cousin Pan You'an. Then everyone else went out, and Jia Cong and his sister muttered and gossiped for a long time. At one time, I asked about the daily trivialities of Yingchun, and at one time I said that I was doing my daily trivialities, and at one time I talked about Xiao. The daily trivialities of the Hunan Pavilion are a little envious when it comes to welcoming spring. Gao Mang listened quietly.

Jia Cong suddenly said "oops" and said, "I remembered something." Nai smiled, "Brother Huan fell in love with a girl and wrote a letter to ask us to make up ideas for him on how to marry." The old man was domineering and tight, and he just said that when the girl grew up, he would grab it. ”

Yingchun shook his head twice: "The master is getting more and more nonsense." ”

Jia Cong said: "Brother Huan is not satisfied, saying that he wants people to marry him willingly. I have many ways to coerce and lure her to marry, but I can't do it willingly. ”

Yingchun asked, "Whose girl is it?" ”

"Princess Jian'an, the sister of the sixth prince."

Yingchun and Gao Mang are both stunned. Yingchun said: "Isn't it the one who fell in love with Baoyu?" ”

Jia Cong said: "That's a disguise. Then he told Princess Jian'an about meeting Jia Huan, "People are only twelve years old, and they have to wait for four years." Four years is enough for me to deal with a little king of Lu and induce him to marry his sister to our family. It's just that these four words are willing, and it's really hard to reads;. Why don't you give her brother a tiger talisman now? Is it a charcoal for their family? ”

Gao Mang hurriedly asked, "Do you have a fake tiger talisman too?" ”

Jia Cong squeezed his eyes: "I wrote to you last time that 'Prince Yizhong's people sent a bunch of fake tiger talismans to the kings', just to coax the princes." As long as the two of you know about this, your brother-in-law doesn't want to sue others, and Uncle Gao can't do it. ”

Gao Mang immediately understood that the tiger talisman was given by him, and he was shocked! He looked at Yingchun for a while before asking, "Where did you get it from?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Naturally, it is imitated. Situ Pan caught the Emperor Taishang and got the Tiger Talisman, and we managed to steal the real Tiger Talisman from him. There has never been a shortage of masters in imitating antiquities, all of whom are exquisitely crafted, and they can do as much as they want. ”

Gao Mang knew that there were people from the green forest under the Jia family, and secretly guessed in his heart that Gong Sanyi or Liu Xianglian did it.

"Otherwise, eighty percent of the world will belong to Situ Pan. It is easy for the prince next to him to fight the emperor, but it is difficult to fight the virtuous king. ”

Yingchun pondered for a moment and sighed: "I really don't know where you came from to be so bold." ”

Gao Mang also sighed: "Even if King Zixian takes out the real tiger talisman this time, there is no way to prove that he is true." The Tiger Charm is useless. I've seen a fake one, and it's really real. If I hadn't received a letter from your horse shop earlier, I'm afraid that even my father would have been coaxed over. ”

Jia Cong hurriedly asked, "Who brought it?" What does he want to do? ”

Gao Mang said: "King Lu's people want to transfer my father's soldiers and horses to Qingzhou. ”

Jia Cong couldn't help grinding his teeth: "Liu Tong! I'm going to fix his anger! Nai said again, "King Lu has a tiger talisman, and King Chen and King Lu have no share." Judging from this verse, the King of Shu is more generous than the King of Yan. Seeing that both of them were thinking about it, they hurriedly said, "It's crooked!" Sister, how is Brother Huan going to hook up with that Jian'an princess? Do you have a way? ”

Yingchun said: "He wants people, as you said, very easy. If we want hearts, we're useless. Let him go on his own. ”

Jia Cong said: "He is also a character who does not force himself, and it is strange to think of it." ”

Yingchun said with a smile: "He really likes Princess Jian'an, so he naturally came up with a way." What matters is not the method, but the mind. Even if he's stupid? You must know that only the heart can be easy. ”

Jia Cong is like going back to his previous life! His sister's words seem to have been said by women in later generations, but he can't find a scientific basis. It turns out that women three hundred years ago were also so illogical and could only talk falsely. Nai "snorted" and covered his face for a while, took it down and said helplessly: "Sister! My own sister! Trust me! I'm a man, and Brother Huan is also a man. We don't really know what women think. Can you come up with a real idea? Even if it's to write a love poem to her or send a pot of flowers to her. ”

Yingchun smiled: "These two ideas are good, but you have to think about it, you don't want to make trouble." When you meet the girl you like, you will understand. ”

Jia Cong turned his head to look at Gao Mang: "Do you know what my sister thinks?" ”

Gao Mang glanced at Yingchun and said, "Sometimes I know, sometimes I don't." ”

Jia Cong stretched out his fist and touched him: "Pure masters! The two of them laughed.

Yingchun smiled: "I probably know what you want." ”

So he gossiped for a while, and invited the imperial doctor to come in and help the pulse carefully. The imperial doctor said that Yingchun's body is quite good, and the fetus is also very stable; Jia Cong put his mind at ease, thanked the two imperial doctors again and again, and asked again and again. Jia Cong, the bear child of the Red Mansion
