Jia's mother's ninetieth birthday, and she has recovered from a long-term illness, and the Jia family clearly told everyone that Jia's mother has recovered, not only those ordinary people, but even the prime ministers, after receiving the post, made it clear that they would come over to congratulate Jia's mother on her birthday in person.

Even the prime ministers on the left and right have expressed it so publicly, not to mention the officials below, who are even swarming to give gifts to the Jia family.

After dividing the family and dividing the sect, it is difficult to get the post of the Marquis of Rongguo. First, Jia Yu is cautious and easily does not interact with those old friends, and secondly, there are few relatives in the Rongguo Marquis Mansion, and they are just the Shi family, the Zhang family, the Xing family, the merchants, the Lin family, the Liang family, and the Yan family. Among them, the Shi family has been defeated, Mrs. Xing did not leave any heirs to Jia Yu, and the Xing family did not have this cheekiness, so the only ones who still have contacts are the Zhang family, the merchants, the Lin family, the Liang family, and the Yan family, not Jia Lian's mother's family, the Yue family, or the in-laws of the girls who married in the Rongguo Marquis' Mansion.

If Jia Yu is only like this for a year or two, then people still think that Jia Yu is avoiding trouble, but it has been the case for more than ten years, and the Rongguo Marquis Mansion has been going uphill, so the invitation to the Rongguo Marquis Mansion is already the most rare invitation in Beijing. It is in stark contrast to when Mrs. Jia Zhengwang was in charge, the kind of people who post everywhere and have heads and faces do not necessarily go.

Even the Emperor Taishang, who has been in the deep palace for a long time, said that on the day of Jia's mother's birthday, he would be present in person.

This time, even some people who were still holding the shelf couldn't sit still at the moment.

also because the emperor was about to arrive, Jia Jiu and Lin Daiyu avoided the back garden. And Xia Jingui, Tanchun, and Shi Xiangyun, who were not qualified to kneel down to the emperor in person, also followed to the back garden.

Tanchun couldn't help but say enviously: "The second sister is the county lord of the imperial court, and Sister Lin also has a knighthood, why should she avoid it?" ”

This is also the most incomprehensible thing about Tanchun. If there is such a chance to get ahead. He's definitely not going to hide.

Jia Jiu smiled and said, "Sister Lin and I are now outsiders, and it is better to avoid worldly things." ”

Shi Xiangyun suddenly smiled and said, "I heard that the second sister and Sister Lin saved the old lady?" It turns out that the martial arts of the Daomen are so powerful! ”

Although these words sound innocent, if they are spread, I am afraid that the Daomen will not be able to live in peace from now on.

Jia Jiu glanced at Shi Xiangyun calmly and replied, "It's not Daomen martial arts that is powerful. It's me who has integrated all the "Armor and Martial Arts". Only by learning all the "Armor and Martial Arts" and integrating it can it be possible to bring a strong vitality to the true qi. It was precisely because I infused enough vitality into the old lady that the old lady was able to recover. Otherwise. Even if all the division commanders act together, it is useless. Because, their majestic true yuan will only burst the body of an ordinary person. ”

Xia Jingui was taken aback: "Bursting? ”

"Yes." Jia Jiu replied: "The body that was blown up by Zhenyuan will not leave a whole corpse. It will only turn into a ground of blood. ”

Shi Xiangyun covered his mouth. "It's disgusting. ”

Lin Daiyu replied: "It's too much." It is precisely because of the old lady that the second sister is willing to exhaust most of the yuan. If you change someone else, it is not easy to invite the second sister. ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "This is also true. After all, the old lady is the grandmother of the second sister. It's Sister Lin, after so many years, Sister Lin hasn't changed at all, and she is still so beautiful. Saying that, Shi Xiangyun couldn't help but touch his face: "I'm old." ”

He, Xia Jingui and Tanchun are all married and have children, and having children consumes a woman's body the most. Naturally, it's not what she looked like when she was a girl in the past.

Jia Jiu smiled and said, "Sister Yun is still like this. I don't pay attention to my words. Those who are familiar with Shi Xiangyun's temperament may regard Shi Xiangyun's words as ordinary sighs, if they are the ones who have a heart, I am afraid that they will think that Shi Xiangyun is deliberately sarcastic.

Jia Jiu is not Lin Daiyu, not the kind of magnanimous person, not to mention, Shi Xiangyun had already said the wrong thing once before, and almost brought trouble to the Daomen, if it wasn't for the wrong time and place, if it wasn't for Jia Jiu's years of cultivation, his heart would be different from before, I was afraid that Jia Jiu would not help but give him a look.

After all, Shi Xiangyun is half a year younger than Lin Daiyu, and he is already married and has children, so he is no longer a child.

Xia Jingui obviously also heard Jia Jiu's voiceover.

He also knew about Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun, and he had also heard of Shi Xiangyun's old affairs, and he didn't like Shi Xiangyun either. In front of people, he has never talked to Shi Xiangyun, but now, listening to Shi Xiangyun and watching Shi Xiangyun's performance, he looks down on Shi Xiangyun even more.

Xia Jingui couldn't take care of Shi Xiangyun, he tried his best to talk to Jia Jiu and Lin Daiyu.

"Speaking of which, I would like to thank my second sister. If it weren't for the second sister who found food in time to help the people, those people in our village would have rushed into our house when they saw that we always had food to take out. The consequences were unimaginable. The second sister saved our family's life this time. ”

As he spoke, he thanked Jia Jiu. When Tanchun heard this, he immediately reacted and hurriedly thanked Jia Jiu.

Jia Jiu's sleeves were raised, and he stopped the salute between the two, and said, "If you want to thank you, you should also thank the teachers." If it weren't for the fact that the division commanders nodded and agreed to build sea ships, and even agreed to use sea ships to transport grain instead of trading jewelry and spices, I am afraid that this time, the Daomen would not be able to send so much food in time. ”

Xia Jingui hurriedly said: "It turns out that overseas is so rich. It's a pity that I don't have the capital, otherwise, I will definitely get together. ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "Yes, if we change to another family, maybe we can use the face of the old lady and the second sister to get together, but since it is the ship of the Daomen, I'm afraid that we look down on this idea, right?" ”

This time, even Tanchun frowned.

Lin Daiyu replied: "The sea is tolerant of all rivers, and tolerance is great." If I can get together, I don't think the teacher will refuse. It's just that the first thing to pass through is the imperial court. Even if Banzai doesn't say anything now, those sailors must have something to say. If you don't open up the joints in the court, I'm afraid that the Daomen needs this money. It is impossible to open it to the people in the capital. ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "How is it possible? This is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people. ”

Jia Jiu replied: "Because the cost is not equal. If the same ship is filled with porcelain, tea, and silk, it will come back and be filled with precious stones, spices, and ivory. How much more than 10 times the profit? But if it is used to load grain, it is just a boatload of grain. Therefore, if the imperial court nods, I am afraid that most of the things that will be shipped back from overseas will be precious stones and spices, and I am afraid that there will not be much grain. But I have many famines. Thank God for one of the ten years when the weather was smooth. In other words, if you don't think it through, in the end, this overseas trade will be profitable. There are only the powerful and the big businessmen, and they are not good for the people. On the contrary, the magnates and big merchants, after receiving large amounts of silver in overseas trade, would instead buy land everywhere. That's it. Land annexation is severe. Only bigger problems will arise. ”

Jia Jiu absolutely trusted the integrity of the Daomen and the family, but those merchants, as well as those officials who were supported by the merchants, Jia Jiu never underestimated their greed.

But the problem is that the officials of the imperial court, who rely on the support of these merchants, regard the family and the Daomen as enemies and want to get rid of them as soon as possible.

Once the constraints are lost, it is very guided. The whole world was ruled by merchants, and perhaps at first it would bring some prosperity. But in the end, it will definitely bring disaster, and it will be a catastrophe of the magnitude of destruction.

This is also what the history of another world tells Jia Jiu.

But Shi Xiangyun said: "Then the second sister must be able to guarantee that Daomen will not do such a thing?" ”

Tanchun couldn't help but say: "Sister Yun, isn't it all explained that Daomen took out food this time?" Food doesn't come out of nowhere, does it? ”

Shi Xiangyun said unconvinced: "It's only once." ”

Jia Jiu said: "However, if you change businessmen, there may not be such a time." ”

Xia Jingui also said: "It's not." My family used to do business, so naturally I know it. Businessmen seek profit. If there is no benefit, or if there are more benefits, why should I give up those precious jewels and spices and choose a bunch of rice that is not very valuable and can sprout easily? These Daomen are willing to do such a thing, and if I am replaced, I will not do it. ”

After a pause, Xia Jingui said: "Actually, thinking about it this way, I think that the Daomen is worthy of being the Daomen, and only those of you who are outsiders will not value the goods." If it weren't for the choice of grain on Yuqing Mountain, this time, I don't know how many people would die in this world. ”

Jia Jiu replied: "It seems that it is imperative to cultivate better rice seeds. ”

Xia Jingui said: "Not only rice seeds, but also salt fertilizer. ”

Jia Jiu was really stunned for a moment: "Salt fertilizer? ”

Xia Jingui said: "No, that's really a good thing." But most of those kinds of things were sold to the Jin Kingdom in the west and the Song Kingdom in the south, and there were very few left in Daqi. Second sister, sister Lin, didn't you make this salt fertilizer? Is there any way you can help get some? Speaking of this, Xia Jingui was also very embarrassed: "I also know that I shouldn't have troubled the two of you with such a thing." Really, really, it is a crop in the field......"

Jia Jiu and Lin Daiyu glanced at each other and said, "The matter of salt and fertilizer is not trivial. This also involves the matter between the Daomen and the imperial court. In this way, I will go back and ask the senior brother to find out the intentions of the teachers and the masters. ”

Hearing Jia Jiu say this, Xia Jingui hurriedly thanked him.

Shi Xiangyun wrinkled his nose and said, "Bao's second sister-in-law is really true." The second sister didn't respond to anything. ”

Tanchun hurriedly said, "Look at what Sister Yun said." If you want me to say, the second sister's method is the right one. If you directly ask the second sister for salt and fertilizer, the one who benefits is just one or two families. What about the salt and fertilizer that the second sister sent us? There are many relatives like us, if there is a hot eye to ask for it, do you give it or not? What should I do if there are too many people to ask for and not enough points? Maybe there is still the one who has a crooked heart, deliberately suing and causing disaster to the family. On the contrary, Yuqing Mountain nodded, and Daomen also began to make salt fertilizer, so that salt fertilizer can be bought everywhere in the world, which is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people. ”

Xia Jingui said: "That's not the case. If the second sister gives me salt and fertilizer directly, I will also beat the drum in my heart. Even if those people are afraid of our relationship with the government and dare not rob it openly, but with this jealousy, we will not have a good time in the village. Therefore, it is only right that all the people in the world can buy salt and fertilizer. ”

Shi Xiangyun saw that Xia Jingui and Tanchun were both helping to count him, and he felt even more uncomfortable.

He was also a judge of the situation, and immediately smiled: "I see, I thought you didn't want salt and fertilizer." ”

Jia Jiu and Lin Daiyu glanced at each other, but did not speak.

Shi Xiangyun is still the same as before, he doesn't pay attention to what he says, even if he knows that he is wrong, he refuses to bow his head. I just hope that this guy doesn't say a few words outside, and he doesn't want to cause trouble.

Just as the silence spread, I suddenly saw a group of people walking at the end of the path, led by three people, wearing phoenix crowns and luxurious clothes, who are not the eldest princess of Lanling, the eldest princess of Jiashan and the eldest princess of Changle?

I saw that the eldest princess of Lanling and the eldest princess of Jiashan did not wait for Jia Jiu and Lin Daiyu to salute, so they helped the two up.

The eldest princess of Lanling said: "County Lord Jia, you have made a great contribution this time. We didn't have to wait for a change of clothes before we came to congratulate you. ”

Jia Jiu said with a smile: "Her Royal Highness the princess is really too uplifting. Now that the poor Dao has entered the Dao Gate, the princess calls me Tongyunliu. ”

The eldest princess of Lanling and the eldest princess of Jiashan were stunned for a moment, and immediately turned their faces to look at Princess Changle.

I saw Princess Changle staring at Jia Jiu for a long time, and then she seemed to suddenly come back to her senses and said, "What do the two imperial aunts think of me?" ”

The eldest princess of Lanling said, "See what you will say to the county lord of Jia." ”

Princess Changle sighed and said, "What else is there to say." If it weren't for me, I'm afraid that he would have been a monk a long time ago, and where would he delay until today. ”

The eldest princess of Lanling teased: "What a big resentment! He said to Jia Jiu again: "Actually, we came to ask you this time, what method did you use to make the lady in the house recover?" ”

Jia Jiu had to explain like this again.

The eldest princess of Lanling said in surprise: "This "Armor and Martial Arts" actually has such ability? ”

Jia Jiu replied: "You must cultivate at the same time." Didn't the imperial court have two volumes of the "Armor and Martial Arts" in their hands? Has anyone done both? ”

The eldest princess of Lanling and the eldest princess of Jiashan glanced at each other and said, "Since I got this "Armor and Martial Arts", my father and brother have sent people to practice. There are a few who are slightly successful, but if you talk about both, there is not one. On the contrary, there are many people who go crazy because of concurrent cultivation. (To be continued.) )
