Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Five Qualities of Civil, Military, Virtual, and Solid
Besides, because everything went well, Wang Xifeng has his own independent residence in Tubi Villa since he moved into Daguan Garden, and his love for Jia Lian and his wife has not decreased. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
On this day, when Wang Xifeng was serving Jia's mother for dinner, he felt sick to his stomach when he looked at the exquisite meal, and ran to the side to retch, but he couldn't vomit anything.
Aunt Jia Mu Xue and others came over, and when they saw it, they guessed eight or nine points, and invited the royal doctor to check the pulse, and they were really happy.
For a time, the house was full of joy.
Although as Jia Lian predicted, although Jia Zheng has also been promoted to Governor Xuezheng and promoted from the fourth rank to two levels, Jia Lian is still the most dazzling person in the third generation.
Wang Xifeng, as Jia Lian's wife, has risen because of this, and now that she is pregnant, everyone is blessed, forcing Wang Xifeng to no longer have to wait for the province day and night, and only need to raise the fetus with peace of mind every day.
This is also in line with Wang Xifeng's intentions, she and Jia Lian have been married for a few years, everything has been smooth sailing, and she has only been criticized for her heirs, and now she is finally pregnant, so she is naturally more careful to raise the fetus quietly.
So since then, Wang Xifeng has returned the housework to Mrs. Wang, and he has been quietly raising the baby in Tubi Villa every day.
And Jia Lian is very busy now, first of all, he and Lin Daiyu co-authored "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan", has asked the old master to correct no more typos, and then three million words are divided into ten volumes, bound into a thick collection, which has been printed by the printing workshop Thousands of sets of finished products.
It's still the old rule, Jia Lian gave a set to each of the brothers and sisters in the house, and relatives and friends outside also gave some, and the rest was also put into the Red Mansion Commercial House and sold at a slightly higher price than the cost.
Nowadays, the Red Mansion Commercial Bank has two novels, "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "The Legend of Shushan Wonder", although it is much less than other regular bookstores, but there is a "Chinese Ghost Story" as the foundation, and there is a gimmick co-authored by the son of Jiafu and the confidante of the red face.
Then one to ten, ten to hundred, the whimsical setting in "The Legend of Shushan", the bizarre cultivation method, and the blood-boiling battle between good and evil.
Shushan swordsman, three green and two clouds, immortals, Buddhas and demons, birds, beasts, insects and fish, people can become immortals, and beasts can also turn into demons!
Whether it is a human or a demon, as long as it is a person who is profound, he can cultivate until the Yuan Shen leaves the body, and in case of disaster, as long as the Yuan Shen escapes a wisp, he can still re-cultivate.
Among them, there are magic weapons, ever-changing formations, terrifying monsters, a fairyland with a relaxed heart, and a secret method for everyone to cultivate.
The wonders of the book are indescribable, and it makes people fascinated by it.
It didn't take long for Kyoto to become popular.
There is also a lively teahouse restaurant, which invited a storyteller early, sat in the lobby every day, and talked about the two books of "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman".
This move has attracted countless idlers or poor scholars who can't afford to buy books, and even some dignitaries are impatient to flip through the books by themselves, so they also set up a box every day, drinking tea and chatting, while listening to the storyteller downstairs, so these teahouse restaurants are naturally making a lot of money, and at the same time, they also spread Jia Lian's reputation in a more comprehensive way.
In the end, this incident even alarmed the current Long Live Lord, who heard that it was Jia Lian's new book that caused a sensation again, and immediately ordered someone to find a full set of ten volumes.
At first glance, I was also deeply attracted, and since then, I will flip through one or two when I have a little free time.
The emperor looked at the three million words in front of him and divided into ten volumes of "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan", and found another "A Chinese Ghost Story" by Jia Lian, and couldn't help but think of Qin Yuan's recital that day.
However, Jia Lian's Ministry of Industry reported on the events of that day, and the emperor had already received a detailed secret recital.
At this time, the emperor thought to himself: Is this Jia Lian still unlearned? There are four million words of hand-me-down works in the two texts before and after, and I don't know how many self-proclaimed Confucians can't do it in case; If you want to say that Jia Lian is disrespectful to his boss and arrogant, I'm afraid that these ministers are dissatisfied with their promotion of virtuous and want to stand up to me, hum! One day, when I grasp the overall situation, it is necessary that these people who do not know the outline will die without a place to be buried!
So, at a later court meeting, the emperor not only did not punish Jia Lian, but instead gave Jia Lian a title of Wensan official with the five grades of the doctor.
In this way, Jia Lian is a doctor, a battalion in the Ministry of Industry, a thousand households in the brocade army, and three positions in one, although they are only five products, but they can be described as Jane's big celebrity in the emperor's heart.
Since His Majesty the Emperor has given face like this, Jia Lian finally has no trouble procrastinating.
Soon after, he drew a large group of official slaves and craftsmen with Qin Ye, and then began to use cement to build roads inside and outside the two mansions of Ningrong, so that the dirt roads inside and outside the two mansions that they did not dare to walk on as long as it rained soon became clean and solid cement pavement.
And the changes in Ningrong and the two mansions were soon seen by other wealthy families.
I thought: Since your Jia family is so luxurious, then I am also a noble of the imperial court, so naturally I can't lag behind.
And after everyone walked through the cement pavement, no one did not clap their hands and praise; Even the nobles who have walked on the cement pavement and let him walk on the potholed dirt road of his own house is simply unbearable!
As a result, countless nobles have sent people to contact Jia Lian, because now only Jia Lian has a large amount of cement, and there are a large number of craftsmen who can do cement projects.
In this way, the massive amount of silver obtained from building cement roads for the nobles fell into Jia Lian's pocket, and then Jia Lian quietly handed over half of it to the emperor and deposited it in the emperor's private treasury.
The other half continued to invest in the expansion of the cement plant, and then the cement went to earn the money of the nobles.
At this time, it was not that no one had the idea of fighting the cement, but the people who came saw the word "imperial pardon" on the plaque at the main entrance of the cement factory outside the city, and then looked at the brocade-clothed soldiers who were guarding for twelve hours around them, so they all dispelled this unrealistic thought.
Some people even thought of why the emperor would override public opinion and give Jia Lian the title of official before, and it turned out that the answer was here.
Without external harassment, Jia Lian was happier to concentrate on production, mining, burning cement, and building, all the labor was made by the government, and Jia Lian only had to pay a small salary, and then he could make a lot of money.
It has also become a virtuous circle, and the emperor is naturally very happy to get a large amount of silver, and at the same time gives Jia Lian countless privileges.
However, Jia Lian also makes a lot of money, the accounts are done by himself, and the income is all up to him, how can he make money; At the same time, it can win the favor of the emperor and increase his status in the emperor's mind, why not?
There was a large amount of silver as a guarantee, and the cement factory outside the city also hoarded a large amount of cement, so Jia Lian asked the emperor for his will, and then began to rebuild the palace wall.
Three months later, the walls of the Imperial Palace were renovated, not only because of the beautiful appearance, but more importantly, because the walls are now 15 meters high and 5 meters wide, and the interior is all made of iron and concrete.
After the emperor personally accepted it, he was immediately overjoyed, and countless ministers began to admire Jia Lian's methods.
With the palace wall as a reference, it is conceivable that if such an impregnable city wall is built in the important fortresses and cities of the country, it can definitely greatly improve the defense of the city fortress!
It's just that to build such a wall, the cost and manpower are huge.
For example, the construction of the palace wall of this palace has now exhausted the profits of Jia Lian's project some time ago.
And if you want to build a more extensive wall, it will cost a lot of money.
So in this way, even if the emperor is anxious, he can only slowly accumulate strength first, and then implement it after the financial and material resources are abundant.
However, Jia Lian presided over the construction of such a majestic and strong palace wall, which greatly improved the security of the palace, and His Majesty the Emperor naturally could not say nothing.
However, just because Jia Lian has been rewarded many times in just one year, but his own officialdom is too shallow, His Majesty the Emperor only gave Jia Lian the title of a Wude general's five-rank military attaché.
In this way, Jia Lian has a collection of five-grade Fengyi doctors, five-grade martial arts generals, five-grade engineering department battalion Langzhong, five-grade brocade army thousand households, and four major civil and military virtual and real official titles in one, to be famous, to have power!
For a while, the whole dynasty was in an uproar, and they were jealous of Jia Lian's holy favor that no one could match.
After that, the meritorious nobles who had broken off their contacts because of the decay of the Ningrong Mansion gradually deepened their movement with the Rongguo Mansion, which directly led to Jia Lian's status in the Jia Mansion being further improved.
