The rest went exceptionally well. Not only have the pirates on board become extraordinarily honest, but even the original endless robberies have disappeared without a trace.

Just as Zheng Laohu said, Jia Jiu can calm the storm with a sword and talk to the beasts in the sea on an equal footing, in the minds of the people at sea, he is no different from the gods and demons in the sea. With such a figure on the ship, who would dare to rob the ship of the Daomen?

Not only did they not dare to rob, but even the search for the island full of rice was particularly smooth. Even the captured pirates did not dare to escape, and obediently stayed on the ship as sailors, and when they arrived at the place, they acted as old peasants, harvesting and scooping the ripe rice, and putting it into baskets made of rice stalks, carrying them on their backs and loading them into the cabins.

Throughout, these pirates were honest, not to mention any rebellion.

On the way back, they encountered the sea monster again, and this time, Jia Jiu used a hanging banana and a coconut to get the big octopus.

It can be said that except for the time spent on the road, except for a few lootings that happened at the beginning, the whole process was very smooth.

Jia Jiu returned to Yuqing Mountain, and after reporting to Dao Kui, he shrank to the Sword Casting Valley and discussed it with Ou Ye, but it was Yu Ziqing, in front of Dao Ling, Dao Kui and the National Teacher, who told the whole story, and even Dao Ling frowned.

Dao Ling said: "Are you sure that Tongyunliu really eliminated the gale at sea with one sword?" ”

"Yes." Yu Ziqing replied: "The disciple knows that the disciple does not have such skills. But the disciples believe that you can do it. ”

Dao Ling sighed. Said: "This seat has also gone down the mountain to practice, and has also encountered strong winds at sea. However, the kind of wind that can overturn the treasure ship. Even if it's this seat, it's not enough to be sure. ”

Yu Ziqing was stunned.

The national teacher also said: "Not bad." The swordsmanship that can eliminate the strong winds on the sea, and the cultivation of Tongyunliu, I am afraid that it is close to the congenital. ”

"It's not close to the innate level, but it's the cultivation that has already reached the innate level." "You and I should both know very well whether we can achieve the elimination of the strong winds at sea. It is a criterion for judging innate cultivation in itself. Tongyun Flow......"

Dao Ling really didn't know what to do with Jia Jiu.

There is no shortage of masters in the Dao Sect, but there are innate masters, no matter which sect they are placed in. It's all treasures. More importantly, Jia Jiu was still very young, he was only in his early twenties! In this world, except for this girl. Which person who has cultivated to this level of innateness. Hasn't it been spent hundreds or even thousands of years of penance?

Dao Kui suddenly said: "Perhaps, it is really like what the Zheng Island Lord said, Tongyunliu is originally the bloodline of gods and demons, which is why his progress is so amazing." ”

Divine and demonic blood?

When Dao Ling heard this, he also had to sigh.

He didn't say anything.

There are some things that I really can't envy.

Whether it is Dao Ling or Dao Kui, to this day, they know very well that there are many things in this world that are destined by heaven. Just like Jia Jiu. Since he is destined to have such blood, then. He is also destined to carry much more than the average person.

Dao Ling was silent for a while, and Fang said, "The news of Tongyunliu's return to Yuqing Mountain should be known to some people. ”

On the other side, after Jia Jiu and Ou Yelu reached an agreement on the new insights of the iron ship technology, Ou Yelu told him: "Senior sister, haven't you been back to your house yet?" ”

"My own house? Any questions? ”

Before going to sea, Tong Yunliu had been nesting in the Sword Casting Valley for several months, and even grooming was solved with dust porridge. Coupled with the time he spent at sea, he hadn't been back to his house for almost half a year. Now listening to Ou Yeyuan mention, how can Jia Jiu not be surprised?

"Senior sister will know when she goes back."

Jia Jiu returned to his courtyard in a daze, and when he stepped into the hall, he saw a person sitting on the main seat of the hall.

"Sorry, I made a mistake." Jia Jiu hurriedly apologized, but just after he lowered his head, he was about to turn around, and he was stunned in his heart, and suddenly remembered, isn't this his own house?

Jia Jiu raised his head suspiciously, and was surprised to find that the person sitting on it made him very familiar.

"Second sister." The man stood up politely, walked up to Jia Jiu, and said, "Second sister doesn't recognize me?" ”

Jia Jiu raised his head at this time, looked at it carefully, and said in surprise: "Sister Lin? ”

Lin Daiyu nodded with a smile and said, "I thought the second sister had forgotten me." ”

"But, how did you get to Yuqing Mountain?"

Lin Daiyu replied: "It's not just me who goes to Yuqing Mountain, but also my third brother, who is Zhen'er." ”

Well, compared to Lin Daiyu's trip to Yuqing Mountain, Lin Zhen's transfer from Buddha to Dao was a little more shocking.

After a long while, Jia Jiu spoke: "Sister, you might as well speak more carefully." ”

"Okay." Lin Daiyu told Jia Jiu about the past few years. Just as Jia Jiu estimated, after the imperial court took away the salt and fertilizer workshop and Zhuangzi from the Lin family, it really reused private individuals. Soon, the old things in the salt politics were staged again in the salt and fertilizer. Not only that, because the salt and fertilizer industry is inherently very polluting, even if the place selected by Jia Jiu in advance is very hidden, there are still things like poisonous land and poisonous water sources in the local area.

Even, those officials set up salt and fertilizer workshops elsewhere. Not to mention that the money obtained went into private pockets, it also had a lot of negative effects on the local people's livelihood.

Jia Jiu said worriedly: "Is there nothing wrong with your family?" ”

Lin Daiyu said: "It's just that I was a little wronged at the beginning. But there are some things that can't contain the fire at all. The imperial court only gets a small amount of silver money from salt and fertilizer every year, but the homes of the officials in charge have become half of the local city. Second sister, you say, where can you hide this? Since then, this salt and fat yamen, like the salt government yamen, has become an iron-clad yamen and a flowing official. Every year, people are stripped of their official robes and sent to the vegetable market. ”

Jia Jiu said: "If there is no proper person in charge, this thing will become a scourge after all." ”

Lin Daiyu said: "What's the blame on my sister about this?" It is obviously the fault of the responsible officials, and it is the fight between Banzai and the Emperor Taishang. As a result, the court was riddled with ills. What does this have to do with my sister? ”

"And then? Are the cousins all right? ”

Lin Daiyu nodded and said, "Everything is fine at home." The fourth sister married into our family when she was sixteen years old, and gave birth to a big fat boy the next year. But you can make Yu'er happy or something. Now, the four sisters have given birth to two sons, and there is one in the belly. ”

"What about Second Brother Lin?"

"Ren'er has already won the Jinshi, and like his brother, he is also a tanhua, and he is the youngest daughter of his teacher. The girl hadn't reached her feet yet. The two families said that they would wait for the girl to meet in the coming year. Then choose a day to make a big gift. On the contrary, it was Zhen'er, and she didn't take the exam again after winning the gongshi. He said that he was not in the officialdom, but came to this Yuqing Mountain with me. ”

Lin Daiyu is the same as Jia Jiu. After he raised his two younger brothers. is not young anymore, and the matter of salt and fertilizer has caused a storm in the city, and even the marriage with him is very difficult. He simply gave up the idea of getting married and having children, and after passing the test of the Daomen. Then he went to Yuqing Mountain.

Something. Lin Daiyu didn't say it, but Jia Jiu also knew it very well.

He has long understood the greed and horror of the human heart.

Jia Jiu said: "I have been away from home for a few years, and I have gone out to practice before, and I am not at home. I don't know if the old lady is okay and my father is healthy? And my brother and sister-in-law......"

"It's all good, it's all good." Lin Daiyu hurriedly said: "A few days ago, I also went to visit the old lady. The old lady has been lying on the sickbed for more than ten years. Although the body is not very convenient, the spirit is fine. My uncle is a little old. But my uncle's health is also good. After the aunt went, the uncle also began to cultivate his self-cultivation, and now he is around the knee with his former children and grandchildren, and the uncle teases his grandson every day, and even chatters more than once that he hopes to see his grandson go to his daughter-in-law! Now my uncle's only regret is that he doesn't have a granddaughter. ”

Jia Jiu was very surprised: "A bunch of boys? ”

Lin Daiyu nodded and said, "Exactly!" In the years when my sister was not at home, my cousin-in-law gave birth to three more sons. Now, my sister and nephew have five! ”

Jia Jiu said: "Successive productions, can my sister-in-law's body be able to eat?" ”

Lin Daiyu said: "You can rest assured. It is said that when my cousin-in-law got married, the family was accompanied by a health prescription. Moreover, although I have never seen my cousin-in-law show any swordsmanship, I can see that my cousin-in-law's internal cultivation is not weak. Even the imperial doctor said that his cousin's body was very good. The second sister is relieved. My cousin's brother is a very capable person. ”

"I see. Hearing you say that, then I'm relieved. ”

In fact, Jia Jiu was very worried about whether Jia Lian would be distracted. Jia Lian in the original book is a very attentive master. It's just such a thing, he really can't talk to Lin Daiyu, but he doesn't want to, Lin Daiyu actually took the initiative to mention it.

Lin Daiyu said: "The second sister has been away from home for many years, and I don't know about the second brother, right?" ”

At first, Jia Jiu thought that Lin Daiyu was talking about Jia Baoyu, but after a while, he reacted and said, "My brother? ”

Lin Daiyu nodded and said, "In the past few years, the second brother's official luck has been good. Didn't I say that before? Those officials of the salt and fat yamen have wasted a lot of places, but only the second brother's side has withstood the pressure. Later, things got into trouble, and many officials were left behind, but the second brother, who is now the prefect of Zhengsipin. ”

When Jia Jiu heard this, he was also very happy: "How many people are stuck in this position from the fifth grade to the fourth grade, some people have a card for more than ten years, and some people can even be stuck for a lifetime." The elder brother is less than forty years old, and he is already the prefect of the fourth grade, and he is still in real power. Thankfully, our family is finally on its feet. ”

The prefect of the fourth grade sounds like the official position is not high. However, this is a prefect with real power, and it is not the same as a military general. Under normal circumstances, military generals have made military merits and obtained knighthoods, unless there is a war outside or the top values you or the top needs you, otherwise, even if you are strong, it is the life of retirement in the capital.

But civil officials are different. Civil servants are more valuable the older they get. Jia Lian can become the prefect of Zhengsi before the age of forty, even if he is not from the Jinshi Branch, it is unlikely that he will enter the cabinet and become the prime minister in the future, and he may become a governor, political envoy and other party officials.

Moreover, with Jia Lian in charge of officialdom, it will be much easier for the Jia family to leave officialdom in the future.

Jia Jiu said: "What about Cong'er? ”

Lin Daiyu said: "Brother Cong'er is now a lifter. Cong'er's younger brother said that no matter what, he would go to the palace examination. Uncle also said that he had ambition. Therefore, Cong'er's marriage has not been decided. ”

Jia Jiu listened and smiled: "It seems that the men in our family are going to be like your family, starting a business first and then starting a family." ”

Lin Daiyu heard it and smiled: "It's the same." I can't say, in the future, my sister's family will also have a three-ding armor. ”

"Then the foolish sister will thank my sister Jiyan first." Jia Jiu was also very happy to hear the news from home, and asked others again.

Lin Daiyu said: "Let's talk about the second brother first." The second brother has always been a little demented, but the second sister-in-law will cry and make trouble, and she will tell the second brother about anything. Although the second brother of Bao didn't like the imperial examination, he saw that he had no fame, and his family was about to be bullied. ”

"Baoyu went to take the Xiucai exam? Didn't you say that the second uncle made a mistake and he was not qualified to take the exam? ”

"That year, the Emperor Taishang was seriously ill, and he prayed for the Emperor Taishang, and his uncle helped to dredge the joints, which only got a prison license for the second brother of Bao. The second brother of Bao took the exam with a prison license, and he passed it once. It's just that the second sister-in-law of Bao saw the appearance of the second brother Bao coming out of the examination room, and she was so frightened that she cried, and the second brother Bao was not allowed to continue to take the exam. Fortunately, the second brother of Bao has a reputation, and he also helps the children in the village to enlighten on weekdays, and he doesn't care about the restraints, and even asks the family to prepare chicken, duck and fish for the children to eat, so he is very respected by the villagers. Even the pimples who often harassed their family in the past also came to apologize. Now the family's life is better. ”

"What about the third sister?"

"The third sister's family affair has also been delayed for several years. Originally, the identity of the third sister was a little worse, and I don't know where the words came from, which made the reputation of the third sister unpleasant. Therefore, the third sister delayed until the second brother of Bao won the show, and then got married. ”

"And such a thing?"

Lin Daiyu nodded and said, "The other party is two years younger than the third sister, and he is the cousin of one of the students of the second brother of Bao. ”

"Is that guy good? What about the third sister? ”

Lin Daiyu said: "I heard that I am very compatible with the third sister. The third sister's temperament, you and I both know, although there are slight flaws, but she is a person who knows how to plan and live. Therefore, the third sister and his husband are very compatible. The firstborn gave birth to a daughter, and although the mother-in-law was not very happy, the husband of the third sister liked this daughter very much. ”

"In other words, does this person really like the third sister? What about Sister Bao and Sister Yun? ”

Lin Daiyu hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Sister Bao and Sister Yun are not very good. (To be continued.) )
