Chapter 344: For Myself
The aborigines and immigrants of the South China Sea, because of the vast land, did not cause much dispute, because the immigrants brought a large number of advanced planting and breeding technology, the aborigines welcomed them very much, Qian Jun took the opportunity to issue a notice to commend the old farmers who did not hesitate to teach the technology, and the situation on the island became more and more harmonious and calm.
Time flies quickly in the busy, Wen Jin's vegetable preservation technology is not deliberately secret, gradually spread out, more and more people join the ranks of sales, her fleet simply disbanded, the funds in hand, turned to other fields - glass, ceramics, weaving, wood, stone, bamboo, seafood, and even spend money to let people learn to culture pearls, these industries, some are very smooth, from the beginning to make money, some are very tortuous, such as glass, it took two years of trial production to produce a one-foot-sized flat glass, the first batch of products out, Wen Jin did not hesitate, and first installed the windows of his house from the inside out.
Jin Jin is already old and sensible, and he once said to his father with a smile: "My mother asked people to try to make glass, I don't think it's for making money, it's for our family." ”
Qian Jun nodded: "Your mother said, what do you want so much money for?" I can't eat more, I can't sleep a little bigger, and I can naturally be comfortable and comfortable. ”
Midnight laughed on the side: "Father, they all say that you can read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, but I see, if you don't come to our house, those people's horizons are still a little narrow." ”
"Shh Qian Jun raised his index finger, "You can't say that, no, your mother has already arranged a ship to pay tribute to the emperor, this batch of glass is better than the quality installed in our house, smooth and translucent." ”
"Hehe, Father, after this ship of tribute, it can be put on sale, right? The concubine threw tens of thousands of taels of silver on the glass, but she had to earn it back. ”
"The mother concubine said, after a few boats of glass, I will come back with a few boats of silver, and when the time comes, we can build a palace if we have more silver."
"Hahaha-" Midnight laughed the most exaggeratedly, he left Beijing at the age of two, whether in the southern Xinjiang or in the South China Sea, the emperor's influence is not so great, therefore, in his heart, the imperial power is not as supreme as Jinjin.
The family lives in a corner, safe and happy, carefree, Wen Jin's people are more and more handy, one by one achievements continue to emerge, Wen Jin has money in hand, so he continues to invest in the development of new industries, and he really artificially raises pearls. Seeing that his son had grown to the height of his father, seeing wrinkles at the corners of his husband's eyes, and vicissitudes on his face, Wen Jin counted that they had passed ten years in the South China Sea.
The crown prince is already in his twenties, the emperor is becoming more and more stupid, Zheng Guifei has climbed to the position of Concubine De with the support of Dong Jincai, her son is now healthy and strong under the careful care of the imperial doctor, Dong Jincai thinks that they can compete with the crown prince.
Originally, the chaos in the capital had nothing to do with the South China Sea, Qian Jun took his family and lived his small life quietly, but a holy decree disrupted everything here - Prince Ren's health was not good, Qian Jun was the eldest son, Jin Jin was the eldest grandson, and he had to go back to serve, and the emperor had to issue an order to allow Qian Jun to leave the fiefdom.
After years of hard work, the people of the South China Sea live and work in peace and contentment, agriculture and commerce are very prosperous, and the annual tax to the imperial court is more than the richest Jiangnan, Emperor Yongchang took advantage of the two of them to return to the capital, sent officials here, the South China Sea used to have officials, but it was limited to the prefect and below, this time, the governor and the governor, that is, the civil and military affairs of the South China Sea, fell into the hands of the emperor. To be precise, it fell into the hands of Dong Jincai, because the people sent were all his cronies.
Qian Jun and Wen Jin were still on the boat, so they knew the news, and he laughed: "Stupid, I don't weigh how heavy I am." ”
Wen Jin smiled: "Dong Jincai is called a stupid dog and a wolf dog, he put us in the South China Sea, he is greedy for his rights, let's live our lives, and the two don't interfere, he doesn't even know how many catties and taels he has now, hmph, isn't this the birthday boy hanging himself, looking for death?" ”
"He thought he had stiff wings."
Wen Jin shook his head: "Dong Jincai is smaller and weaker than Liu Guoshi twenty years ago, but the degree of madness is not inferior at all, it seems that he really responded to that sentence, if he doesn't die, he won't die, and if he looks for death, no one will stop him." ”
Since there are five-masted sailing ships, the time from the capital to the South China Sea has been shortened a lot, and now, because of commercial needs, there have been thirteen mast sailboats, with larger loads and faster speeds, and in less than a month, Wen Jin and they arrived at the nearest dock to the capital, from here, they changed into small boats traveling on the inland canals, and continued to march to the capital.
"The prince has also made great achievements over the years, this section of the canal, the emperor wanted to build it, but he didn't expect to let him complete it twenty years later." Sitting on the boat, Wen Jin couldn't help but sigh with emotion when she saw the flowers on both sides of the strait red and willow green, prosperous and beautiful.
"When the emperor was the crown prince, didn't he forge ahead and be as clear as a mirror? When he got to the top, his mind changed, his thoughts changed, and he began to make a balance, obviously he was a traitor, but he still had to protect it, and in the end the good minister was disheartened, the villain was ambitious, and the government was abolished day by day, alas! ”
The two were sighing, Li Liang, who was in charge of the guard, chased after him in a small boat, and when he was allowed, he jumped into the big boat.
"Lord Wang, there is a tail behind our fleet."
"Whose people?"
"It's not clear."
"Keep an eye on it."
"Yes!"
When it got dark, they anchored at the pier and went ashore to prepare to stay overnight, and the person Li Liang was staring at took a prayer note and asked to see him, it turned out that he was the prince's person.
Qian Jun sent all the guards out, and then met with the prince's messenger, and as he expected, the prince asked for help in the letter, wanting to bring down Dong Jincai.
"Tell your master, not for the time being, maybe it used to be, but in the past two years, the emperor has become more and more dependent on Lord Dong and obeys his words, so he can only weaken his power, and he can't completely eliminate it."
"Please give me some advice." "I don't have any good ideas, but I just heard that Master Miaoyong Jun Miao is diligent in political affairs in the southwest and has made great achievements." The messenger was stunned, and immediately understood the meaning of the king of the South China Sea, Miao Meiren was under house arrest that year, but accidentally found out that she was pregnant, and when she was on the plate, Concubine Zheng learned about it, but the concubine was well guarded, she couldn't intervene, and then, in front of the emperor, the slander, so that Miao Mei and the five princes have been living in the cold palace, and now, the prince can break the confinement of Miao Meiren by promoting Miao Yongjun, she and Concubine Zheng have a deep hatred like the sea, and they don't share the sky, and the father and daughter can be gunmen for the prince and the concubine.
