Chapter Seventy-Three: True Purpose
The stiffening of the relationship with the Jinling clan did not affect Jia Cong's life.
Living in the old mansion of Rongguo Mansion, the Jin Cai couple who guarded the old mansion did not dare to blow up the thorns, and cleaned up a small yard for Jia Cong to live in, and the environment and living conditions were still good.
What about the parents of the eldest maid next to the old lady?
Facing the thugs of the Xue family on the fiftyth, they are just the Jin Cai couple who rely on their daughter's relationship to take the position, but they don't insist on not giving Jia Cong face.
What kind of bullshit concubine, if you have the strength, you can get the respect you deserve, unless your brain is in water, you can't see the situation clearly.
In their spare time, Jia Conghui and Lian Er did not greet the Jinling clan clansmen, and worshiped the ancestors of the Jia clan alone.
In any case, there should be no less etiquette, at least not to give others the opportunity to crook their mouths, anyway, there will be no major omissions in 'filial piety'.
"Third brother, I heard that you and the Jinling clan are in a stalemate?"
When leaving the ancestral tomb of the Jia family, Lian Er hesitated and said, "Is there any misunderstanding, do you want my brother and me to come forward to help ease one or two?" ”
"No need!"
Jia Cong categorically refused, and sneered: "Second Brother Lian doesn't know that the interests of the Jinling people are so bold and reckless that they dare to participate in the Yangzhou Salt Administration, and they don't know how to write dead words!" ”
then recounted all his experiences at Uncle Seven's house, as well as the conversation, and finally said disdainfully: "Since they dare to participate in Yangzhou Salt Administration, let's just break our mouths, it's useless!" ”
"How so?"
Chain Er was shocked: "Don't the people of the Jinling clan know that they can't even afford to participate in this matter?" ”
"Hehe......"
Jia Cong just chuckled, and after a long time, he said leisurely: "They may or may not know, anyway, if something goes wrong, both the Mansion and the Ning Mansion have to help wipe their butts, and it is estimated that the Jinling people have such an idea!" ”
Chain Er was silent, and after a while, he said angrily: "I just don't know whether to live or die!" ”
He was a little panicked in his heart, how could he not see how troublesome Yangzhou Salt Administration was after staying in the investigation team for so long?
Uncle Lin, as the imperial history of Yangzhou Salt Patrol, Rongguo Mansion has such a great convenience, he didn't even think about joining in, where did the Jinling people get the courage?
"The benefits are moving!"
Jia Cong sneered again and again, and said in a condensed voice: "As far as I know, the current official salt and salt introduction has been sold for a price of ten taels of silver!" ”
"Once you can get enough salt, it's like grabbing silver, how can the Jinling people care about such a 'idea' danger when they are used to it?"
Chain 2 didn't know what to say for a while, and he didn't expect that things had come to this point, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to be good in the future.
"Third brother, what do you think we should do?"
Subconsciously, Chain Er asked Jia Cong's opinion, and he found that his third brother, who was born in his own house, was not an ordinary ability.
"What can I do?"
Jia Cong's face was as usual, and he said calmly: "I can only assume that I don't know!" ”
Ignoring Chain Er's ugly face, he continued to explain: "This kind of thing, even if you write a letter back, it is not safe, and our brothers are not able to deal with it, so it is better to leave Jinling as soon as possible, and it is best to consult Uncle Lin after arriving in Yangzhou!" ”
Chain Er was willing to object, but after thinking about it, he didn't have any good ideas, so he had to temporarily agree to return directly to the post where the investigation team lived.
Fortunately, the investigation team did not mean to stay in Jinling for long, but left for Yangzhou in two or three days.
Naturally, Jia Cong continued to mingle with it, and none of the officials of the investigation team objected.
This time, Xue Pan didn't follow.
As one of the four major families in Jinling, the Xue family is still very good in Jinling and the entire Jiangnan, and the most important thing is that the business network is relatively perfect.
In this case, Xue Pan can play a greater role in staying in Jinling.
Before leaving, Jia Cong assigned him a task, asking him to secretly investigate how many powerful forces in Jinling had the heart or had already participated in the official salt trade in Yangzhou.
Of course, there is also the task of vigorously promoting the script of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and by the way, the "Story of the Three Kingdoms" and "Three Kingdoms Commentary" are widely publicized in the mode of storytelling.
Jia Cong doesn't have the idea of putting the cart before the horse, Jiangnan is densely populated and economically developed, and the demand for entertainment is also quite strong, so naturally he has to manage it well and harvest a lot of popularity, otherwise he can't go all the way to Jiangnan.
As for the so-called Yangzhou Salt Administration, it really has little to do with him.
As long as Lin Ruhai is not in the post of patrolling the salt imperial history, any troubles will pass.
The reason why Xue Pan was asked to investigate secretly was mainly to see how deeply the Jinling people were involved, and whether something happened to Rongguo Mansion or him.
As long as the situation is not too bad, he doesn't bother to pay attention to these things.
It would be a pity not to take the opportunity to use the influence of the Xue family in Jiangnan and the perfect business network to get out the "Three Kingdoms" script and storytelling, forming a trend of attracting popularity, and even the signboard of "Cong Sanshao" was launched.
Even with the help of the Xue family's business network all over the country, the Three Kingdoms script and commentary were in a hot mess in the capital, but due to the poor traffic conditions of this era, the speed of information transmission was maddeningly slow.
The Three Kingdoms script and storytelling are only now slowly becoming popular in the north, and there is still a lot of time to precipitate before the fire.
As for Jiangnan, because of the reputation of the Xue family, it is not very recognized, and the promotion speed is even slower.
Of course, the biggest reason is that the propaganda methods and methods are not in the right way, and without Xue Pan's personal supervision, he has been in a half-dead state.
This can be the opposite of the excitement of the story of the Three Kingdoms, and the situation is very abnormal.
When Jia Cong went to Jiangnan this time, he had the idea of asking Xue Pan to personally supervise the Xue family's business network in Jiangnan and make serious contributions.
No matter how you say it, it has to be called the story of the Three Kingdoms and storytelling, which is completely hot.
Such a thing will not affect the fundamental interests of the Jiangnan family, and naturally it will not receive much attention or even suppression.
Even Jiangnan Shilin, who has already formed a scale, will not care too much, it has little to do with their public opinion position.
Of course, when Jiangnan Shilin reacts later, it will be up to them.
……
From Jinling to Yangzhou, it is only a short flight of two or three days.
On the official ship, Jia Cong saw the 'long-famous' minister, who did not have the prestige of the Qincha at all, but frowned and looked preoccupied.
Judging from this person's behavior, this guy is an out-and-out stupid comparison.
Since he was unwilling to participate in the Yangzhou Salt Administration, he simply tried to excuse himself, and he had to play the trick of pretending to be sick on the stage, and he suddenly became evil.
Even if you don't pay attention now, you won't completely blacklist this guy, and you will just wait to wear small shoes in the future.
Jia Cong didn't get acquainted with this guy's thoughts, and this guy didn't take Jia Cong seriously......
