Chapter 411: Baoyu's Calamity
In the blink of an eye, it has been two months since I came to Jeju Island.
Not only did he play around, but he also went to the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo with the caravan, which can be regarded as taking them abroad once.
During this time, also let the water monkeys send a fleet.
The Japanese around Kyushu Island and those small islands were swept away, and even Tsushima Island was also swept away.
At this point, the only Japanese forces close to Jeju Island are Wild Dog Jiro.
For such a long time, there has been no movement on the Goryeo side.
I don't know if I heard the news of Jeju Island's extermination of the Japanese invaders, or if there was another reason, so I never sent anyone to Jeju Island again.
Jia Cong didn't care too much about this, with his own North Sea Fleet, whether it was Goryeo or Wakoku, there was nothing to do about Jeju Island.
Because their naval strength is too bad, they are not their opponents at all, and they can't pass the North Sea Fleet.
As long as they regularly destroy some of their fleets so that they never catch up with them, then Jeju Island will have peace of mind.
During this period, the team that went to the disaster area to solicit displaced people also came back once.
More than 20,000 people were recruited, including more than 10,000 children between the ages of four and twelve, most of whom were orphans without father or mother.
These people have no ability to survive, and generally no one will take them in, and even if they recruit people, they will find some strong ones.
Because these people will not create output value in the short term, they can only continue to invest until they grow up, the process is very long, and the investment is relatively large.
Far inferior to those who are strong, they can create output value immediately and will not lose money.
Under normal circumstances, seventy or eighty percent of these people would be starved to death or even cooked.
In some places, it has reached the point where children are eaten, and these orphans have no way to live.
Jia Cong's move can be regarded as saving the lives of these people, which can be regarded as immeasurable merit.
These teams all went to the disaster area with food, giving porridge all the way, recruiting people all the way, and when the food was gone, they brought the recruited people back, which can be regarded as doing their part for the disaster area.
When these people returned, they handed them over to Wangcai, and then they took up food and went to the disaster area again.
Continue to give porridge while soliciting homeless people.
When Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, Yingchun and others saw those hungry skinny, skinny, inhuman-shaped children, they were all shocked.
They had never seen such a tragic scene, and they never imagined that there were so many children struggling on the line of life and death.
For a while, his compassion was great, and he was full of admiration and support for Jia Cong's kind deed.
Among these sisters, Shi Xiangyun has had a hard time since she was a child.
However, when she saw these children, she felt like she was living in heaven.
Some grievances and complaints in my heart have since disappeared without a trace.
The already cheerful and lively girl has a more transparent mind.
"The good deeds of the third elder brother have countless living people, and they can be called living bodhisattvas who save suffering, even those Buddhas and Buddhas have never really rescued the world."
Shi Xiangyun looked at Jia Cong with beautiful eyes, and the admiration in his heart was beyond words.
She knows better than others that life is not easy, and she also knows how much money Jia Cong needs to pay to support so many people.
How much money does it cost to feed so many people for nothing, and to feed them for many years?
Although she couldn't calculate how many there were, she didn't have to think about it, it was also an astronomical number, a number that made her jaw-dropping.
She knew that Jia Cong was rich, but there were more rich people in the world, and she hadn't seen anyone else do this.
If everyone in the world were like the third brother, no one in this world would suffer.
At this moment, in Shi Xiangyun's heart, Jia Cong is the best, and no one can compare.
Jia Cong is that tall
The big image was deeply imprinted in her mind.
Seeing these children, Jia Cong felt uncomfortable, although he had heard of many tragic conditions in the disaster area, but he had not seen it with his own eyes.
Seeing Shi Xiangyun say this, he could only smile helplessly.
"Sister Yun's words are a bit too much, brother, I can't afford it, I did this to do my part, I have this ability now, I can save one more person."
Xue Baochai said, "Brother Cong can do this far, it's already very remarkable, but there is no need to be arrogant."
Yingchun said: "Brother Cong's move can be described as immeasurably meritorious, and I, as a sister, am also proud of you."
Lin Daiyu said: "What Brother Cong does is a big deal, and my sister also supports you, why don't you choose a group of maids and put them in the palace, it's not easy to arrange so many people outside."
Jia Cong said, "Don't worry, since you have brought them back, you won't starve them. I plan to train them for a while, let them teach them something, and then assign them according to their abilities and conduct. They can't do anything at such a young age, so let them learn something first."
Tanchun said in surprise, "Third brother, if so many people have to teach, it will cost even more."
Jia Cong said, "If you do this, it will cost more, but it will make these children more useful people in the future."
Some people with bright minds have already thought that after ten years, when these children grow up, Jia Cong will have countless talents loyal to him, no matter where they are placed, they will be a force to be reckoned with.
This is a bit terrifying, I can't imagine that Jia Cong thinks so far, and I don't know how far he will go in the future.
Whether it was Xue Baochai, Lin Daiyu, or others, they couldn't help but think about it in their hearts.
······
Just when Jia Cong thought that he could hug left and right on Jeju Island, and live happily for a year and a half.
The news brought by the caravan made him have to dispel this idea.
This time, the caravan's manager Zhang brought a message from Jia's mother, saying that there was something at home and asked him to return to Beijing as soon as possible, and also brought a handwritten letter from Tiezhu.
Jia Cong asked Manager Zhang carefully, but he didn't know very well, as if he had heard that Baoyu had been beaten again.
Seeing that he couldn't say why, he waved his hand to let him retreat.
I opened the letter of the iron pillar and read it carefully.
After a long time, Jia Cong retracted his gaze and put down the letter in his hand.
It turned out that Jia Baoyu was really beaten by someone, and he was beaten very hard, but fortunately, he was accidentally hit by Liu Xianglian, who happened to be passing by, which scared those people away and picked up a small life and came back.
It's just that those people committed murder, and they are still lying in bed.
Not only him, but even his second brother Jia Lian was also beaten, and he was also beaten to the point that his head was bleeding, and his appearance was quite miserable.
It is said that his little white face has been distorted by someone.
For this reason, the Rongguo Mansion became a pot of porridge.
Seeing Baoyu being beaten so badly, it made Jia's mother feel distressed, and Mrs. Wang cried even more, crying and crying.
After Tie Zhu learned the news, he immediately sent someone to focus on the investigation.
Under the touch of the vine, the people who beat Baoyu and the people who beat Jia Lian were all found out.
The one who shot at Baoyu was a group of people in the rivers and lakes who had just arrived in the capital, and Tie Zhu was also a little puzzled, how could these people dare to do something to the people of the Jia family? There's obviously something strange about this.
For this reason, they were not in a hurry, but focused on monitoring them.
I want to find out where these people come from, see who they are in contact with, and whether there is anyone behind the scenes.
After more than half a month of squatting and surveillance, the ins and outs of this matter were finally investigated clearly and clearly.
It turned out to be a member of the Zhou family, and he was not angry that Zhou Hao was killed, so he wanted to use revenge to take revenge on the Jia family.
I was afraid that Jia Cong would retaliate after he came back, so I didn't dare to take action in person, so I thought of a way to secretly buy and invite
Some people in the rivers and lakes asked them to deal with the Jia family and pick themselves out.
So, he hit Jia Baoyu with the idea, thinking that people would abolish Jia Baoyu and avenge Zhou Hao.
It's just that by mistake, Liu Xianglian disrupted the situation, and it didn't achieve the expected effect, but it can be regarded as a breath.
After finding out, it was inevitable that these people had escaped or been killed, so Tie Zhu led people to raid them, completely took down these people, and temporarily locked them up.
After some torture to extract confessions, these people honestly confessed everything, and the truth has been revealed.
And the person who dealt with Jia Lian was his concubine man.
When Jia Lian was fooling around with people outside, he was brought in by the woman's man, and it was a good beating for the two of them.
Fortunately, these people knew Jia Lian's identity and did not kill him, but just taught him a lesson.
Although he didn't make a dead hand, he really hit it lightly.
After some investigation, it was learned that the reason why these people dared to make a move on Jia Lian was also because of the Zhou family, who were behind their backs.
These people didn't move them, after all, Jia Lian was at fault in this matter, and it was understandable for people to take action against him.
In addition, with the Zhou family behind him, if these people are moved, there will definitely be trouble.
Jia Cong was not at home, and Tie Zhu didn't dare to make trouble for him, so he just told Jia Yu the results of the investigation and retreated.
Jia Yu, Jia Zheng, and Jia Mu discussed for a long time, but they didn't come up with a good solution.
Although Mother Jia wanted to avenge Baoyu, she was still a little jealous when it involved Zhou Guifei's mother's family.
Although both families are royal relatives, Zhou Guifei's status is obviously much higher than that of Yuan Chun, and she also gave birth to a prince for His Majesty, so she can't be afraid of it.
Jia Cong is not at home, they have no confidence, and they don't have the courage to make a move against the Zhou family.
In the end, it was Jia's mother who proposed to send a message to Jia Cong to return to Beijing.
Jia Yu and Jia Zheng also nodded in agreement, Jia Cong's deterrent power is still very great, as long as he is in charge of the Jia family, no one in the capital will dare to make a move against the Jia family.
So he asked the caravan to find his whereabouts and let himself return to Beijing.
Tie Zhu and the caravan steward knew their whereabouts, so they passed the news to themselves.
After understanding the whole story, Jia Cong not only fell into deep thought.
Should I go back now, or should I continue to stay here and hide in peace?
Originally, I wanted to stay here for at least a year and a half, or even three or five years, to avoid the turmoil in the court by the way.
Because, whether it is Liaodong or Shaanxi, it is a powder keg, and it is also a powder keg that will explode at any time.
The situation in Shaanxi has become even more chaotic, and some ambitious people have taken advantage of this to deceive people's minds and fan the riots of the victims, and the situation has become more and more intense, and more than a dozen relatively large resistance forces have appeared.
The local garrison has nothing to do with them.
As time slowly passes, the situation in Shaanxi will only become more chaotic, and it is only a matter of time before the imperial court sends troops to suppress it.
Although it was just a rabble and could not be compared with the regular army, it was precisely because of this that the imperial court would not pay too much attention to it, which would give them more room for development.
From a rabble, to an elite division, to a wild horse that has escaped the reins, turning the world upside down.
Jia Cong didn't know if there would be the existence of King Li Chuang, in his own time and space, it was the terminator of the Ming Dynasty.
If it is not handled well, the peasant uprising in Shaanxi will also become a great disaster for Dachu.
He has asked Tiezhu to send people deep into Shaanxi to inquire about the movements over there, as well as to find Li Zicheng, but there is no news of this person so far.
The situation in Liaodong, with its own intervention, has also deviated from its original trajectory.
What will happen in the future, and where will things go? It's that even Jia Cong himself can't predict it, and he doesn't know.
But what is certain is that when it comes to fighting, Amin is better than Hong Tai.
Now Wang Ziteng and Shi Nai can only retreat in Liaoyang City, relying on the solidity of the city, barely protecting themselves.
As for whether Liaoyang will be breached, Jia Cong didn't dare to assert it.
If Amin captures Liaoyang again, then the entire Liaodong will fall into his hands, and he can knock south at any time and threaten the capital.
At that point, it is likely that he will come forward to save the situation.
It's not something that can be recruited and left casually.
Since they were afraid of themselves, they fulfilled their wishes and hid themselves, so that they could not find them.
When they have nothing to do, they can reappear and turn the tide, so that they can know their importance even more.
It's just that now that this kind of thing has happened, the old lady has let herself go back, which makes Jia Cong hesitate.
It doesn't play a big role in staying here, although Jeju Island is not small, it is still too small for Jia Cong, and there is no room for it to be displayed at all.
After thinking about it for a long time, Jia Cong still decided to return to the capital.
First, the chaos in the world has appeared, and the situation is even more unpredictable.
Although this Jeju Island is not too far, it is still too slow to pass the news back and forth, and it will take one or twenty days to pass back and forth, and if there is an emergency, it will have been delayed a long time ago.
Another is that Your Majesty's time is running out, and there are not many days left.
For his own future plans, he must also plan carefully, at least he can't let the second prince, the enemy, have the slightest chance.
After returning to the palace, he called Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, and Ping'er over.
told them what Jia Mu meant, and then told them about his decision.
Lin Daiyu said: "Brother Cong, the old lady let me go back, then let's go back, everyone is already very happy when they come out this time."
Xue Baochai also said, "Since Brother Cong has decided, then let's go back."
Jia Cong said: "Okay, you pack your luggage, go to the warehouse again, pick out some gifts, we will take them back together, the three of you can discuss this matter, when you are ready, we will leave for Beijing."
"Got it."
The three of them said yes and left together.
Jia Cong arranged something more on the island, and three days later, everyone took the Jeju again and embarked on the journey back to Beijing.
