Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

Jia Jing gave Xichun some more science knowledge about the royal family's attention to glass products.

The reason why there are so many glassware in the Ning and Rong mansions is because their ancestors were highly rewarded by the royal family. When the emperor valued you, it was okay for you to rebel, but the current emperor's attitude towards the Jia family is too unpredictable.

"If he really valued our family, he wouldn't treat Yuanchun like this. Just watch, there must be another plan above."

Jia Jing suddenly lost interest. He didn't know if little Xichun could understand the words in his words. But Xichun was still young after all, so it didn't matter if he couldn't understand. The scary thing is that in the Jia family today, those who understand are still in their hearts. Just take a chance...

"I'll use this to give you a good reputation later. I'll make sure you are the most outstanding among the sisters."

Jia Jing has no intention of continuing to talk about those nonsense. He can't solve it himself, so should he count on Xichun?

"Thank you dad!"

Xichun understood what he meant, wasn't it that the Jia family couldn't be pretentious now, because there was no royal family to continue pampering them.

This is also the reason why the Jia family themselves are not upright. None of the descendants of the Jia family can inherit the bravery of their ancestors. If they just want to rest on their laurels, this will be the end.

While Xichun was picking out his favorite colored glaze from Jia Jing's treasure box, his head was racing, trying to find a solution.

First of all, this dynasty has declined, so the civil servants and generals have become rigid.

New entrants have no way to advance and will inevitably make trouble. The most obvious representative among them is the disaster relief method used by the country and the dynasty.

Their disaster relief mainly relies on the words of civil servants. After the people are angry, they will send troops to suppress it.

In this way, civil servants and generals have a way to be promoted, but it is the common people who are suffering.

The emperor may not be unaware, but the father and son are still fighting each other to the death. What bottom line can the officials below have?

Moreover, the emperor may not represent the interests of the people. As long as the big landowners and big families still support him, they can continue to sit on top and enjoy the blessings.

So for smart people, it doesn't matter who is above them, what matters is their own family.

This is no different from the Lai family who relies on the Jia family.

But now it's not just their emperor's family that's at risk.

For example, in the Jia family, both houses are bastard minions who have their own houses, but they are all people who have made great contributions when they were young. Now that you are rich and want to kick others, you can only wait for others to poke you in the back. Your spine is broken!

And who dares to let them go? What slave doesn't have some leverage over his masters? Moreover, the masters are not united. It is just a fantasy to imagine that the masters will work together to find a way out.

Therefore, the situation of the emperor's family is actually the same as that of the Jia family.

Do you think it would be better to kick the slaves off? Didn’t the historian just kick the tires? As a result, the mistresses of the Shi family had to do needlework in the middle of the night. Shi Xiangyun, a noble girl from a noble family, wanted pity from Xue Baochai, a merchant girl.

The historians are now divided into two paths, and now they have the position of double marquis. But he had no one under his command, and the minions were no longer focused on them. Who still pays attention to them now? Aren't you looked down upon in the same way?

This involves a problem of people's hearts. Others can't see them cutting off their tails to survive, but they can only see them criticizing their own people. With this idea, no one trusts them anymore.

And according to the subsequent plot, the historian did not escape the tragic ending.

The reason why the Jia family insists on holding on to its previous posture is because they are afraid of this. In order to shock others, one has to treat the slaves well. Otherwise, if they show weakness, the surrounding jackals, tigers and leopards will immediately come forward and devour them.

There is a huge difference between a tiger pretending to be a pig to show weakness and a pig showing weakness.

Therefore, if you want to maintain your power, you must continue to make money, and you must find a way to make the speed of making money catch up with the speed of spending.

"By the way, you also pick out two pieces for the girl of the Lin family. For Lin Ruhai's sake, when their daughter comes to the capital, you are not allowed to bully her."

Xichun glanced at her father in surprise, not expecting that he could think of Lin Daiyu. Thinking of Lin Ruhai's current identity, I had another guess in my mind. Isn't it possible that this old man has ever interacted with him?

Xichun hummed and agreed. Thinking that Lin Daiyu's name had the word "Dai" in it, she chose two pieces of obsidian-like glass. There were also two large pieces of plain glass, which were also kept away by Xichun because of their strange shapes.

"I chose these pieces for Sister Lin, so you can't feel bad."

After Xichun finished speaking, she looked up and saw Jia Jing's trembling hand pulling down two strands of his beard, grinning and saying he didn't feel bad at all.

Ouch~ It turns out that this dad is very respectable and quite cute.

Xichun felt that she could control her scumbag father, and acted more and more lawlessly. Anyway, Jia Jing's place might be the only secluded place for the Jia family, so he spent money in various ways to study ancient technology.

From Xichun's point of view, since the emperor of this dynasty could not be relied on, he made some things by himself to ensure safety. She did not believe that she could be bullied by others because she had so many bombs stored here.

And there is another advantage here, that is, although the slaves have many thoughts, there are also many who are foolish and loyal. Just like Jiao Da in the mansion, he is also a talent if he is put to good use.

Thinking of him, Xichun thought of a good job. Those who are devoted to the Jia family will certainly not suffer a loss from the Jia family.

Xichun asked Jia Jing to send him as a messenger, and asked Daddy Zha to praise him a few words in front of everyone, and then arranged for him to go out to be a supervisory envoy. He dressed up in disguise and was served by a little Taoist priest to make secret visits to various places.

This old man had been a soldier when he was young, so he knew the tricks of the big soldiers very well.

Therefore, Xichun wanted him to find some good hands among the tenants of the Jia family. Even a person with a certain skill can be a small manager among the chaotic people in the future.

Since the general trend of the world has reached an irreversible point, then we should select some "good seedlings" to cultivate first. In this way, when the world is in chaos, the Jia family will not be defeated too badly.

What Xichun wants to do is to form a good relationship first. It's really irreversible in the future, but there is still a sweet love.

Furthermore, she also wants to form an escort team to protect her future caravans. Merchants are the most profitable in the world, and she doesn't have to take the imperial examination, so this is the best thing for her to do.

Jia Jing also let her do whatever she wanted and stopped making any random pills. He now wanted to see how Xichun could toss and what tricks he could come up with.

Xichun's first thought was that money begets money. Since the weather is not good now, food and medicinal materials must be in bulk. The food of this wealthy family was not taken out even if it was moldy, so Xichun thought of doing business in this area.

Should I make a desiccant for the grains first? In this way, you can not only make money from the landlords, but also find out how much food each family has.

She didn't plan to spend money to buy these grains.
