Honglou, I became Jia Lian?Fortunately, there is a system!

Chapter 238 Restless Fuso people!
Although Annan Erruan responded in a timely manner, with Annan's hard power, he still seemed very powerless in the face of the sudden attack by the behemoth of the Daqing military.

The Daqing official and the "non-governmental" parties work together, and together they will soon destroy Annan.

It is estimated that Er Ruan will continue to resist tenaciously for a period of time. As for whether to surrender or go away in the end, it is possible, but the option of resisting to the last one soldier is not very likely.

Of course, the development of Annan's matter has little to do with Jia Lian now, and the Rongguo Mansion just kept paying attention to it, and secretly made some small measures to protect it.

As long as the Daqing military does not suffer a disastrous defeat as soon as it goes abroad (going to sea), it will be fine if it affects the continuation of the strategy of opening the sea.

The textile factories opened in Yongji and Antai counties in the past two years are now very large in scale, each of which brings together more than 3 people to work, producing all kinds of brocade and silk day and night.

Here, a special workshop for female workers was set up in the name of Princess Yongji to encourage folk women to go out to work and earn money.

But even with the continuous implementation and publicity of various preferential policies and affordable subsidies, the number of women workers in the two textile factories is still less than half.

This is the limitation of the times, and it will take more effort and time to change it, and it cannot be implemented simply by force.

In fact, in the eyes of some people, the current textile factories are a bit deviant. Although there is no disturbance in the court, there are "scholars" from time to time who stand up to criticize and comment.

Part of the reason is that the two factories pay taxes in full every year, and they pay the highest tax rate of Daqing's commercial tax.

This is of course a good thing for the Yongji and Antai county yamen. It not only solves many major issues in the local people's livelihood, but also makes the people generally rich.

It is these two county magistrates who have made real political achievements, and even their higher-level magistrates have political achievements and credits.

However, the textile factory's rule-breaking style of behavior has hindered the eyes of other state officials, and even annoyed other powerful families who are also engaged in business.

They didn't know how much effort they had to use the pretext of "competing with the people for profit" to block the idea of ​​​​the court's taxation reform many times.

However, the two textile factories in Yongji and Antai broke such unspoken rules. Not only did they never evade taxes, but they paid the highest tax rate in full.

The most important thing is that these two factories have become more and more prosperous. What does this mean?
Naturally, it will remind the court that the tax rate in the past was too low...

Isn't this smashing the big guy's job?
However, Princess Yongji?
Isn't she the adopted daughter of His Majesty who married into Rong Guogong's mansion?
Hmm... It seems that they really can't be provoked, so many forces began to jointly try to suppress all positive news about the two textile factories.

From time to time, Shilin criticized them once or twice. Although "Daqing News" often gave positive guidance, the reputation of these two textile factories in other state capitals was actually not good.

The main criticism is that textile factories recruit a large number of female workers and encourage women from all over the world to leave their families and work outside the home to earn money.

When women are self-reliant and able to earn enough money to live through such formal channels, they will naturally seek to improve their status intentionally or unintentionally.

The status of men in many families has been provoked to a certain extent, which is also the biggest reason why textile factories are boycotted by some caring people.

Qin Keqing was also a little uneasy, but Jia Lian comforted him: "This is an inevitable process of social development and the liberation of productive forces. If the nation wants to continue to be strong and prosperous, it will definitely face such problems.

There is a problem to be solved, how can I choose to escape like those rotten scholars? Besides, the status of women in this era is already too low, and it is actually a good thing to raise it appropriately. "

All in all, what the textile factory is doing is correct. Improving the status of women and liberating at least part of them from the family is also beneficial to the development of society.

Although the scope of the two textile factories in Antai and Yongji seems to be quite limited, the "Yongji spinning machine" owned by these two textile factories has greatly improved the efficiency of spinning in this era.

Even increased this increase to a terrifying number of six to seven times!

It is precisely because of this that the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce dumped these extremely cheap textile products in Dongying, Tianzhu, and Eros at a price equivalent to [-]% or even [-]% of their local similar products, earning a lot of wealth.

Of course, the price of local textiles in Daqing was inevitably reduced by about [-]%, and this figure was finalized after many discussions and studies by the think tank of the Donghai Chamber of Commerce.

It can not only make the people of Daqing generally get some benefits, but it will not really cause things like "cheap grain hurts farmers".

Although it is inevitable that the interests of some people will be affected...

It is not a big problem for these domestic parties whose interests have been harmed. The Donghai Chamber of Commerce has given some policy preferences or subsidies.

Of course there will always be some greedy people, but now the strength of the Rongguo Mansion is well known to the whole world, and many who stretched out their hands indiscriminately were severely beaten back.

Among the countries that have been dumped overseas, Japan has recently used this as an excuse to start making troubles.

Two years ago, a sub-squadron of the Nanyang Fleet came to Dongpu. Under the leadership of three legendary warriors and 150 innate masters, [-] quasi-innate warriors approached Ping'an-kyo!

If it weren't for the emergence of a legendary powerhouse in the Japanese royal family and the shogunate in the end, and the Shinto sect sacrificed more than [-] Japanese on the spot to summon an evil spirit shikigami "Yaki no Orochi".

Dongying Fusang had to destroy the country at that time...

Even so, that battle still shattered peace outside Beijing, and even triggered a century-level earthquake in Fusang, causing huge casualties among the Japanese.

The two legendary powerhouses of the Dongying royal family and the shogunate also followed the path of martial arts, but compared to Daqing's martial arts system, the martial arts of Dongying's side is more similar to the sect or the way of magic.

In the early stage of body training, there are countless extreme quick-start methods, most of which are to stimulate the potential or devour other creatures, including human essence and blood, to forcibly speed up the practice regardless of the sequelae.

When it comes to Houtian (level two), there are many schools of martial arts that are extremely pursuing lethality, such as killing the gods with one knife, instant step killing, drawing a knife, etc., which first injure yourself and then injure the enemy or explosive kung fu. It has become the mainstream in Japan...

Therefore, martial arts practitioners here generally have a very short lifespan, even not much different from ordinary people, and there are very few Houtian realm martial artists who can live past a hundred years old.

The legendary warriors who grew up in this environment are naturally extremely powerful in a short period of time. The three legendary warriors dispatched by the legion at that time were suppressed by the Japanese side for a long time in a one-on-one situation.

You must know that the three legendary warriors of [Jia Lian's Legion] have all been added to the peak level of legend, while the legend of the Dongying royal family and the shogun are only middle-level legends.

But even so, the biggest reason that the battle ended in a tie was not the two Fusang legends who broke out in succession, but the evil spirit (shikigami) enshrined by Shintoism for hundreds of years - Yamata no Orochi!

This is an evil spell created by the Shinto Onmyouji combined with the witchcraft secrets and several magical methods that have been spread to Dongying since the Tang Dynasty. Among them, there are even one or two incomplete magic methods that were passed down from the era of various schools of thought. .

It is said that the Yamata no Orochi was originally a pseudo-mythical creature created with the souls of more than 10 people and cruel and bloody sacrifices.

Immediately after the birth of the Yamata no Orochi, it lost control and devoured the onmyojis, causing several families of onmyojis to almost exterminate before being sealed for a very short period of time.

Until later in the Shenzhou Song Dynasty, Abe Seimei, a peerless figure among Onmyoji, appeared in Fusang. This person joined forces with Shintoism, Fusang Buddhism and many other extraordinary forces, and finally exhausted all means, and even sacrificed himself who had been promoted to the legendary realm at that time With a lifespan of more than two hundred years, he finally suppressed the Yamata no Orochi, which had ravaged the land of Fusang for hundreds of years, and gradually controlled it.

This makes this Yamata no Orochi the greatest foundation of Fusang, and also the strongest shikigami of the Onmyoji lineage!

But even so, since then, Shintoism and Onmyoji have to sacrifice at least [-] Japanese people to Yamata no Orochi every year, so that it can maintain its strength and generally obey orders.

This Yamata no Orochi has eight heads and eight tails, and is covered in dark green. The head is the same as the head of a huge poisonous snake in the legend of Fuso, with scarlet eyes and a ferocious appearance.

It is a hundred meters long, and the diameter of the thickest part of the body is more than ten meters. It is also good at using poison and earth spells, which is indeed extremely tricky.

The extraordinary level of this Yamata no Orochi is also only in the legendary middle level, but because when he explodes with eight heads and eight tails at the same time, he is equivalent to eight masters of the same realm with a sympathetic heart, and his combat power is really unparalleled.

The earthquake of the century in Fusang was actually mainly caused by this, and the legendary warriors of the legion were generally in a state of being suppressed all the time.

It is also for this reason that after the two legendary warriors of the Fuso royal family and the shogun resisted the opponent's crazy outburst, they could only choose to devote their energy to helping the already seriously injured companion deal with the brutal Yamata no Orochi.

And because of the outbreak of that great earthquake, considering the army under his own command, he had no choice but to choose Ming Jin to retreat.

Although that battle ended in a draw, there is no doubt that Fuso suffered huge losses, and even its capital, Heian Kyoto, was severely damaged.

In the end, the Dongying Shogunate had to agree to compensate the Nanyang Fleet with 1000 million taels of silver, and ceded three ports as the Daqing Concession, signing various shameful treaties.

However, in the past six months, Dongying has started to make small moves. They nominally do not prevent the dumping of various commodities from the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce, but their local names are secretly boycotting the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce's merchants.

Some powerful daimyos even publicly burned the cloth brocade and lacquerware of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce, and began to refuse to sell raw silk and other raw materials to the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce.

After hearing the news, the top executives of the [Jia Lian Legion] in charge of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce were furious:
"It's no wonder that the Lord despises this country more than Western countries in the past. Those Japanese slaves have ravaged our coastal areas of China in the Ming Dynasty. They are treacherous, cunning, and cruel.

Its people are the most capricious and humble. They don't know the kindness and righteousness in the world, and they only blindly fear the power of force. Therefore, they can only show power but not virtue, and they must not show any kindness to them, otherwise troubles will happen! "

"That's right! Last time, we didn't expect Fusanga and other small countries such as Quer to have such legendary combat power, and there was even an evil spirit shikigami raised by evil magic.

This time, after we report to the general, we will block the door with ten legends, and carry out special operations directly without bringing ordinary troops. I want to see how these little Japanese can handle it! "

"I have long heard that the Iwami Silver Mine in Fusang is the world's top silver mine. This time, let's take this opportunity to take it down!"

"You can have this, I heard... there are still a few gold mines, how about..."

"..."

Such discussions and decision-making suggestions were quickly delivered to Jia Lian.

Want to have a good time in your childhood?
Without further ado, Jia Lian agreed on the spot!
He even considered for a while the feasibility of doing it himself, but it was a pity that Jia Lian really couldn't get away from the news that the large-scale fleets of Western countries had been gathered in Xingzhou and Batavia.

Not to mention the second soul [Blue Dragon Jade], even Jia Lian, his real self, is considering whether to go to sea and sit in Batavia.

However, the Legion's recent record is gratifying, good news spreads frequently, and there are constant innate masters who break through the realm and become legends. At the level of top-level combat power, they are not very nervous.

Also, two years ago, the number of Innate Grandmasters in the Legion already exceeded 50. After two years of accumulation and polishing, the current legendary combat power is still only 32, which is indeed a bit small.

Perhaps it is because the intensity of war in the "game world" has not continued to increase as expected?

The East China Sea Chamber of Commerce began to mobilize and gather legendary combat power, preparing to beat Fusang hard, and even if there was a chance to destroy this country, it would never be soft-hearted.

Xingzhou, I don't know when, the top of the six-story magic tower has become Jin Linger's exclusive bedroom.

Perhaps due to the influence of [Mastership], Jin Ling'er now maintains the image of a golden three-foot-long giant tiger all day long, and what's more distinctive is that an orange flame that melts gold and iron burns on its tail all the year round!

This image is naturally in line with the image of the god of the Taihuo Xingjun in the hearts of believers. Ever since Jin Ling'er chose to compromise, she has been displaying this image in recent months.

The accumulation speed of the power of faith in its [Godhead] has indeed been greatly increased. If the previous speed was one, then it is almost six or seven now. Today, two months later, the power of faith in the godhead has accumulated to 3 More than [-] units!

While this gratifying progress made Jin Linger excited, she also had no idea of ​​any resistance to her current image.

Especially today, Jin Ling'er finally refines the power of faith in [Godhead] for the first time with her initially formed priesthood, refining a drop of magnificent colorful divine power!

"Ding!"

The first drop of divine power appeared in [Godhead], and Jin Linger's soul instantly entered a state of sublimation...
