Jia Cong refuted the metaphor of Jia Yucun's three families dividing the Jin, and all the ministers and emperors in the palace understood and understood that Han, Zhao, Wei and Jin were within the scope of the Zhou Dynasty after all, and their rebellion would affect the Zhou Dynasty. However, Jia Cong's maritime trade strategy, strictly speaking, was not within the scope of the Shun Dynasty, and he was only going to do business, and as long as it had a significant impact, it could be withdrawn.

This is one of them, and the second is tens of millions of taels of real money, which is far greater than the imperial court's investment in firearms, ordnance bureaus, ships, etc., with these two points, weighing the pros and cons, in fact, it is enough.

Jia Cong's judgment, strategic thinking and prediction are not wrong, just like Prince Henry, who was the first to sail on a large scale, Prince Henry was also opposed at home at first, but then the things he brought back, property, slaves, gold, ivory, etc., were worth far more than the investment in ships and other aspects, and the whole country was happy, and some poor people and criminals were also willing to be born and die, and go to Bo to have a high-risk and high-return opportunity.

Although the West and the East are very different in various aspects, many things are common, such as the fact that the world in which Jia Cong lived in his previous life has been largely Westernized. After all, slaves, feudalism and capital are the laws of the long-term macro level, and in a short period of time, in fact, the decision-makers have the ability to change, which Professor Chen Shengxi discussed in detail in "The Fall of the Ming Empire" that the decision-making changes of any big man in the late Ming Dynasty will become different history, and the source of the Shun Dynasty of the time and space of the Red Mansion where Jia Cong is located also has these reasons, and the synthesis of slowly bifurcation and change a long time ago.

Today, Jia Cong has also verified that overseas trade is feasible, not only changing the imperial court, but also changing the future of him and the four major families, and the future of the women of the Red Mansion, so he thinks that this is a good step.

Only under the premise of consolidating his powerful strength, power, and interests, as well as consolidating the entire country, will the probability of Jia Cong's own tragedy and that of many women in the Red Mansion world be greatly reduced.

In terms of the overall situation, in fact, the rebellion and floods of the Shun Dynasty also objectively helped and promoted the success of his overseas trade plan.

However, now that the emperor mentioned the revenge of the love, Jia Cong refused unhurriedly and earnestly, and the ministers saw Jia Cong wiping the tears that came with his long sleeves: "Your Majesty, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both since ancient times. In the matter of seizing the love and resurrection, the minister Jia Cong would rather die and dare not respond. In ancient times, no matter the monarch and minister, the filial piety of the parents was not allowed to be abolished no matter what. Now the minister only asks for Long'en, and orders the minister to return to Jinling's hometown Sangzi with his father's coffin, so as to complete the filial piety of the twenty-eighth month as soon as possible, and the minister is grateful. ”

The ministers looked at each other, and a few imperial historians who were not from Liu Dongsheng's faction were about to start accusing and admonishing Wen to death, but Jia Cong himself began to defend the ritual weapons they used to attack the enemy, so what else could they say?

If Jia Cong really wants to get back on his own, even if Haimao sees the great credit now, Jia Cong has to rely on his strength, but he will still be attacked and faced with a lot of noise in the near future.

Thinking of this situation, Ling Jieqi could only give up, he wanted to add the title of Jia Cong, but Jia Cong resigned again, when the filial piety period was not over, these were all unreasonable, and he had not seen the real money and silver transported by the warship, Jia Cong claimed that he did not dare to respond.

At this time, Emperor Ling Jieyuan also felt a little headache, and promised him on the spot to choose a good day and an auspicious day to go south a few days later, and issued a holy decree, and ordered Jia Yu's funeral to be held in Jinling's ancestral home......

At this time, Emperor Ling couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Alas, etiquette is really a constraint on people, not only the courtiers, but also the monarch......"

The most headache for him is that in addition to Jia Cong, there seems to be no loyal ministers and good generals who will win every battle, Zheng Sancai, the king of Nan'an County, has been defeated, although the king of Beijing has checked the soldiers, but he has not been in charge of the soldiers like Jia Cong......

After that, the emperor asked about the good strategy for the civil war, and there were many suggestions, but there were very few people who took the initiative to ask for help, and Shi Nai and Shi Ding were even more far behind. I can't get the head cut off!

Jia Cong's sea trade profits, they are willing to go.

As for the supervision of the sea trade, Ling Jieyuan really paid attention to the opinions of all parties, and also intended to send eunuchs down, Jia Cong re-mentioned the original celebrant who guarded the emperor's mausoleum in Jiaxing, and suggested that the Jinyi Guard be reorganized, taking advantage of this momentum, he suggested some things, and these emperors mentioned by Jia Cong basically agreed.

In this regard, the emperor and the ministers retreated, Jia Cong walked outside the Linjing Palace, in the process of walking, it can be vaguely seen that the mood of the Prince of Zhongshun Ling Jiechu, Jia Yucun and others is not very good for a while, but they have not reached the point of being angry. Jia Cong didn't care about them, he had more important things to care about.

Let's say that when he came out, outside the Linjing Palace, when he arrived at the mouth of the Liubukou, he met Mei Kenian of the Hanlin Academy, this Mei Kenian looked younger than Jia Zheng, Jia Cong went straight to the point: "Mei Hanlin's family has a marriage contract with a certain room of the Xue family in Jinling?" ”

"Yes, exactly." Mei Kenian said solemnly: "But this has nothing to do with you Master Jia, right?" ”

"How can it be okay, the Xue family is my wife's family." Jia Cong said.

"Even so, this marriage contract was made between me and the people in the second room of the Xue family, and now that her parents have passed away, you are not her elder, and you can't be the master." Meke read.

"That's right, but, my cousin Xue Baoqin often comes to my house, and she has never met your son, is Mei Hanlin determined to fulfill the marriage contract?" Jia Cong said lightly.

Mei Kenian was silent, Jia Cong did not have a guard of honor to force him to abandon the marriage contract, because that would be bad for Jia Cong's reputation, and the downfall was the accumulation of these bad things one by one. In the same way, if Mei Hanlin insists that his son marry Xue Baoqin, it can also be publicized in Shilin, as Hanlin must have his own connections and relationships, then the trouble for Jia Cong will not be small!

"I'll have to think about that." Mei Kenian didn't reply on the spot, and staggered back with Jia Cong.

Jia Cong was not in a hurry, and waited for Shi Nai Shi Ding to catch up on the road between the two walls, and he said with a smile: "The two Hou Masters, the juniors made a bet with the two Hou Masters, and they only said that they won the Taifu Temple Shaoqing Li Shanzhi, and then gave me the right to decide Xiangyun's future, oops!" This time, the two marquis have lost 300,000 taels of things in my store! What a pity! ”

Shi Nai's feet were crooked, so angry that he almost vomited blood!

Not only did you almost kill Li Shanzhi, but you also beat Prince Zhongshun, Jia Yucun, Yan Ming and others back one by one, okay? Is this more than a win? It's a big win, and we're a complete loser, okay...... However, from another point of view, they don't think it's very bad to have a good relationship with Jia Cong at this time......

"Yes, Xiangyun's decision in the future can be given to you, and you also said that it won't hurt our face and lintel, in short, you can't hurt the gift. In this case, it is only a private decision, and we must not say it. In black and white, there are pictures and handprints, and we will not regret it. Shi Nai blushed and said, he was no more reckless than his brother Shi Nai, seeing that there were more and more people coming and going, and whispered: "Let's go back to our Shi Mansion for the time being, I saw that you and Mei Hanlin seem to have something to do just now, we can also give you advice, we still know something about this person." ”
