Jia Lian's Red Mansion live broadcast room

There was silence in the hall for a while, and there was a censor who said: "Your Majesty, this way of business is not the right way, and it is suspected of competing with the people for profit. This..."

The corners of Jia Lian's mouth twitched slightly, is this person in a hurry and confused?In recent years, the emptiness of the national treasury has been tossing so much that they can't even eat well. Even the emperor's concubine's natal family has made plans. Now there is a business that can make money and have food in the account. Doing nothing here, isn't this making you feel uncomfortable in today's world?With today's temper, this one might be cold.

Sure enough, before the censor finished speaking, he said today: "Don't compete with the people for profit? Good! You are indeed high-spirited and upright, and have the style of a celebrity. However, the drought in Shandong and the floods of the Yellow River have come one after another, and the Hu people in the north have repeatedly violated the frontier. , The army of officers and men is not enough, can you share my worries for me, and bring back the money and food for disaster relief?"

Censor: ...

Jia Lian rolled his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Gao is really the pillar of the country. Now the treasury is empty. I remember that Mr. Gao once borrowed 30 taels of silver from the treasury. Now that there are natural disasters this year, I wonder if Mr. Gao can pay back the debts?" Pay back the money from the treasury first, so as to solve the urgent need of the household department?"

Gao Yushi: ...

All the ministers: ...While looking at each other in blank dismay, someone with a quick mind immediately thought, with the great love for Marquis Fengyuan today, does it mean that Marquis Fengyuan's words like this mean that the owed money will be recovered now?

Today: "Gao Aiqing?"

Gao Yushi hated the hole Jia Lian had dug for him. Which of these courtiers had never borrowed money from the treasury?Which one do you see paid off?Besides, that was 30 taels, how could it be possible to suddenly ask him to take out 30 taels to pay back the money?

Looking at Gao Yushi who is obviously not going to pay back the money, what is there that I don't understand today?He wanted these courtiers to pay back the money immediately, but now is not a good time, so he can only bear it.If Jia Lian missed the news, there must be some people who paid back the money first.As for those who are not going to pay back, naturally there are other arrangements waiting for them!

Glancing at the crowd below, his face became serious now, and he said in a cold voice: "Officer Yushi Yan, it is true that rumors and rumors are true, but you should firmly remember the bottom line of being a human being and an official! Anyone who crosses that bottom line , in the face of big right and wrong, only caring about my own small thoughts, making me uncomfortable, I will make his whole family uncomfortable!"

There was no sound in the hall, and a needle could be heard, all the ministers lowered their heads, as quiet as a chicken.

Leaving such a sentence behind, getting up now, and leaving in a huff, Zhou Ying quickly shouted: "Retire!"

When today's figure completely disappeared from the eyes of the courtiers, everyone looked at each other, and under the leadership of several elders, they exited the hall one after another.

After leaving the palace gate, Niu Jizong came forward with a smile on his face, approached Jia Lian, and said angrily, "My good nephew, why didn't you tell Uncle that Maritime Trade makes money like this? If you knew it was so, Uncle It was already invested in.”

Their honorable families have been passed down for generations, and most of them are playboys who eat and drink while lying on the credit book of their ancestors. Niu Jizong is an example.Like the Jia family in the original book, the Niu family is now at the point where they are living beyond their means, and can only maintain a superficial appearance. If they do not find a stable and large income, they will decline in a few years.

When Jia Lian approached Niu Jizong and asked him to join the fleet, it was more or less based on the past friendship between the two families. In addition, Niu Jizong and Jia She had a good relationship. Jia Lian would only think of their family when there was money to be made.

Niu Jizong refused.

But when Niu Jizong saw the carts full of loads being sent to various prefectures yesterday, Niu Jizong was so regretful that his intestines turned green.That's not it, as soon as he came to court, he immediately approached Jia Lian cheekily. In his eyes, the current Jia Lian is a golden baby who is very good at making money!

Jia Lian laughed, this Uncle Niu really doesn't care too much, this is still out there, he just asked so carelessly, didn't you see that the ears of those courtiers were all pricked up?

As soon as Shui Li looked cold, he wanted to stop Niu Jizong and tell him not to bother Jia Lian.Jia Lian gave him a timely wink and stopped him.

He laughed and said: "Uncle Shi wronged my nephew. My nephew just heard a few words from Fan Shang and thought that the benefits of maritime trade should be good, so he thought about forming a fleet to go to sea. Can you My nephew himself has no idea about how much money he can earn. If it wasn’t for His Majesty and the prince’s protection, whether my fleet can be formed is a matter of choice.”

Niu Jizong believed this. After all, even the old people who have been immersed in the court for decades don't know about overseas affairs, let alone a young man like Jia Lian?

It's not that he looks down on young people, it's a fact!My hair hasn't even grown yet, so what can I understand?In the eyes of these people, Jia Lian this time is completely a blind cat meeting a dead mouse!

"That makes sense! Let me ask you, is your fleet going to set sail again? If you set sail again, don't forget about me, Uncle." As Niu Jizong's words fell, Jia Lian clearly felt that just now he pretended not to Those who cared looked at him with their eyes straight, and they were all waiting for his answer.

Jia Lian smiled and said: "Of course we will continue to sail, but we have to consider the time. Don't worry, Uncle Shi, after the time of sailing is confirmed, my nephew will be the first to know about you, old man, and I won't Missed your old one."

Satisfied, Niu Jizong patted Jia Lian on the shoulder and left with a smile on his face.

Stared at by several pairs of wolf-like eyes, Jia Lian felt uncomfortable. Seeing that Niu Jizong had finally left, he quickly got into the carriage with Shui Li, and went home, but he didn't even go to the Yamen. And escape the taste.

[Yo yo yo, look, the anchor looks like he's running away? 】

[It's more than just like, it's just like that! 】

[It's really rare to see the anchor look like this. 】

[Jia Lian: No way, the uncles are so enthusiastic, I really can't bear it! 】

[Anchor, look, the sea trade has made a lot of money this time, hasn't it?Shouldn't we give out red envelopes to those in the live broadcast room?We don't ask for much, just a little food is enough! 】

[Yes, yes, I want benefits too.Since the anchor is not short of money, he no longer buys delicious food for everyone, but it makes me hungry! 】

[Jia Lian: It's not that I don't want to buy for you, my brother is also a family member, the kind who sleeps in the same bed every day, besides, don't you know what my family does?He can see my every move, what I eat every day, how much I eat, what I do, what I buy, he knows exactly what I do, how dare I give birth to a Yao'ezi?Of course, I know everything about him. 】

【Ugh……】

【Ugh……】

……

The screen was full of moans and sighs, and Jia Lian was speechless.

[Jia Lian: Don't bother, I've already thought about it, since I've decided to spend the rest of my life with him, I still have to talk to him about some things.After all, it can be concealed for a while, but not for a lifetime. There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Instead of letting him find out by himself and then have a crisis of trust in me, I might as well find a good time and tell him in advance. 】

[But what if it scares him? 】

[Yes, what if he doesn't accept it?what to do? 】

[Jia Lian: Ah Li's heart is still very strong, I believe he will not alienate me because of the destruction of the three views!In case we got to that point, wouldn't there be amnesia medicine in the mall?My current points should be enough to exchange for one! 】

[Yeah, well, as long as the anchor knows what's in his mind! 】

……

In the carriage, Jia Lian looked up at the impeccably handsome Lord Shui, and thought to himself: I hope you don't let me down!

009 popped up suddenly: Host, I have some unfortunate news for you, some things are better left rotten in your stomach! !

Jia Lian: ...

Depend on!

Now that he returned to the imperial study, the anger caused by the imperial censor had subsided a little. He invited Mr. Su and several cabinet ministers to discuss the matter of banning the sea. .

Su Jin said: "Your Majesty, do you want to speak to Daming Palace?"

Although the Supreme Emperor doesn't care about the matter, he still has to talk to his old man about such a big matter.

Jin Jin nodded: "I have to say it. Zhou Ying."

"The servant is here."

"You go and send the big red coral tree, the three-star decoration of blessing and longevity, the agarwood decoration, the crown and scepter of the king of Fanbang to Daming Palace, and then send some of the food and vegetables that Lianerjin brought to the Daming Palace. In the Imperial Dining Room, use these things for lunch."

"Yes."

Sure enough, I still know the Supreme Emperor today. After the Daming Palace received these treasures from today, the edicts on maritime trade issued at the Great Court Conference became extremely smooth, and no one jumped out to point fingers.

Imperial Decree: Set up shipping departments in Tianjin, Weihai, Shanghai, Quanzhou, and Guangzhou to take charge of the maritime trade between Dazhou and foreign states, and set up import and export taxes unprecedentedly, and various commercial taxes have also been re-increased and adjusted .

Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news at the first time. Before his fleet went to sea, it was considered an act of smuggling. I can't even refute it, now it's all right, once the sea ban is lifted, are you still afraid of those censors who are blind?

Under this decree that shocked the whole Zhou Dynasty and the common people were uproarious about the ban on opening the sea, among them, the news that a certain censor was corrupt and broke the law, was imprisoned, his home was ransacked, and he was assigned to guard the border in northern Xinjiang, but it didn't stir up a little bit of water.

Five days later, Jia Lian handed over a map of Dazhou and overseas to the current royal case.

"When the fleet set sail back then, I ordered my brother-in-law Zhao Tiandong to carefully draw the sea charts of the places he went. If possible, he should go to land to see, and draw the map of that place and bring it back. In the past few days, I have Based on those sketches and combined with existing maps, I drew this one, which I call "World Map."

Jia Lian explained the origin of the map with all his heart, but none of the people present was listening to his explanation carefully. Their attention had already been attracted by the map spread on the ground.Even Shui Li, who had seen this picture a long time ago, squeezed inside and looked at it again carefully.

Lin Ruhai, who was not very good at squeezing, was squeezed out first.Seeing that he couldn't squeeze in, Lin Ruhai retreated to Jia Lian's side and asked the question in his heart.

"According to this map, our land is round?"

Jia Lian nodded: "That's right. At that time, the fleet was heading west. Although it often changed its direction on the way, it did not change its direction." The implication is that the fleet has returned to the starting point when it set sail. Isn't the earth a circle? of it?

Lin Ruhai said again: "An ancient book says that the sky is round..."

Jia Lian: "Hearing is believing, seeing is believing."

Lin Ruhai was thoughtful.

Jia Lian looked in the direction of the present, and he saw the ambition of conquest in the eyes of that master!

As a Chinese, the 5000-year splendid civilization of China is enough to make every descendant of China proud.

However, the history of being invaded for more than a hundred years in modern times is a pain that will never be erased in the hearts of every Chinese descendant who loves this land.

This is the world of Red Mansions, a parallel world. Jia Lian doesn't know what the future history of China in this world will be like, but he doesn't want his own nation to experience such pain again.

He took out this map in the hope that those in power will take a long-term view, focus on the world, and not rest on their laurels, follow the old path, and let themselves be in a passive position in the world's changes.

As for whether those in power have any other thoughts besides developing themselves after seeing this world map, it is none of his business.
