Palace Flower as Employment [Red Mansion]

When the news of victory came, Jia Qi was appreciating the tortoise shells sent by his father and brothers. These tortoise shells were sent from Anyang. Zhibao stared hard at the tortoise shell with tortoiseshell crystal glasses, and muttered something from time to time.

Jia Lian is a common man, of course, when he was young, Mrs. Jia Zheng Wang would not spend so much money on him to teach him to learn antique appreciation, which requires a lot of capital to play.

The Jia family only grew up as an heir when they were young, saw a lot of good things, and the elders were not stingy with cultivating him. Jia Amnesty has the capital to play this.

Therefore, when Jia Amnesty saw the tortoise shell, he felt that the weird scratches on the tortoise shell were probably writing, ancient writing.

For this reason, Jia She also went to ask his in-laws Zhang Jijiu for advice. Zhang Jijiu didn't want to be shown off by Jia She, but after hearing that it might be a document from the Yin and Shang Dynasties, Zhang Jijiu became rare.

For these few tortoise shells, not only Zhang Jijiu was hooked up by Jia She, but even Zhang Jijiu's father and Jia She's old Mount Tai also went south to Beijing.

Without him, if this tortoise shell is really a document from the Yin and Shang Dynasties, it would be a priceless treasure!

Not only Grand Tutor Zhang, but also many well-educated Confucian scholars are now gathered in the capital, not for high-ranking officials and generous salary, just for these few tortoise shells.

Therefore, when Jia Amnesty was admiring the tortoise shell, he did not forget to tell Jia Qi: "Little Si, don't give this to others."

Jia Qi laughed and said, "Father, don't worry, my son bought all the hundreds of hectares of land in Anyang, and hired a special person to clean it with a small shovel and a pig hair brush. Let father down."

You can't use a hoe for something like a tortoise shell, because it will break if you use a hoe.

Coincidentally, Zhang Jijiu and his brothers just came in from the door, and when they heard Jia Qi say this, they immediately said: "I said Lao Jia, you are too unkind, just because you have a son who can earn money is great! If you have the ability, you will go to Anyang with us and dig the tortoise shell yourself, that is what you call ability!"

Zhang Jijiu is full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

The Zhang family's family background is not bad, but that's just a comparison with other officials and eunuchs.If compared with Jia Qi, all the officials in the capital know that they are ashamed.

In this world, is there anyone who can smash hundreds of acres of land for an antique?

There is only one copy in the whole world.

For a moment, Zhang Jijiu was jealous of Lin Ruhai.How did you say Lin Ruhai's eyes grew?How old was Jia Qi at that time?Lin Ruhai could see that this child was extraordinary?And betrothed his daughter to the past?If he was the one who first took a fancy to Jia Qi at the beginning, wouldn't it be him who plays with the turtle shell casually now?

Although Jia Cong is still very good, but compared with his younger brother Jia Qi, he is really more popular than others.

Seeing that it was the uncles of the Zhang family who came, Jia Lian quickly stood up and gave the family salute, and Jia Cong and Jia Qi followed suit.

Zhang Jijiu looked at Jia Qi and said, "Jia Xiaosi, did you really buy hundreds of hectares of land just to find this for your father?"

Jia Lian couldn't help laughing and said, "It would be great if the jealousy on Uncle's face could be put away."

Zhang Jijiu shook his head again and again, and said: "Forget it, no matter how good your knowledge is, you can't compare to someone who is lucky enough to raise a good son."

All kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred on that face made Jia Lian speechless at all.

Jia Cong came up to meet his father-in-law, and asked the maids to arrange tea and fruits.

I heard Zhang Yuanfeng, the third master of the Zhang family, say: "Everyone's life. A piece of tortoise shell is not rare, but a pile of tortoise shells is rare. In the Wei Dynasty, only Jia Xiaosi had this ability. He bought so much land but didn't cultivate it just for To please his father."

As soon as Jia She heard this, he immediately started to shriek.

It's a pity that Zhang Yuanfeng didn't have the intention to pay attention to him at all, but said to Jia Qi: "The Englishman has already surrendered, you know about it."

Jia Qi said, "Really? Thank you uncle for letting me know."

Zhang Yuanfeng looked at Jia Qi's still calm face, then looked down at his robe, and then his eyes rested on Jia Qi's hand.

Zhang Yuanfeng said: "It is recorded in "Shi Shuo Xin Yu" that when the news of the defeat of the Qin army in the Battle of Feishui in the past came, Xie Gong also played chess with the guests calmly, until the guests left. He jumped into the house and broke all the teeth of the wooden clogs. My nephew is the same as Mr. Xie back then, if it wasn't for this fan that was about to be crushed by you..."

Only then did everyone notice the deformed fan in Jia Qi's hand.

Everyone laughed, and Jia Qi laughed too. This time, his smile was a little more real, and a little more relieved.

No wonder he was so nervous, it was because he was too impressed with the *blocked keyword* war in another world.

It is said that when the United Kingdom in another time and space launched the *shielded keyword* war for the first time, they were also terrified, thinking that they were doomed to a crushing defeat, but after launching the war, they discovered that the Qing Dynasty It turned out to be just an empty shell.

In that time and space, Britain can be said to have made a lot of money in the *blocked keyword* war.

It is because *shielded keywords* the war impressed Jia Qi so deeply that when he wrote credentials to European countries, although his writing was tough, his heart felt guilty.

He was very worried that these countries would unite, which is why he sent envoys besides Castiglione, just to let Portugal and Spain pinch Britain.

As for the certainty, or the success rate, Jia Qi is not [-]% sure.He only knew that if his attitude was not strong enough, those Westerners would definitely treat him as easy to bully and make every effort.

In order to prevent the frog from being boiled, he could only grit his teeth and hold on.

Jia Qi was very fortunate that he managed to make it through.

Looking back now, in fact, the outcome of this war was already doomed from the very beginning.

The *shielded keyword* war in another world took place during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, and the time axis was much later than this world.The UK in that world has already completed the first industrial revolution, and the UK in this world, according to Jia Qi's information, they should have just started the industrial revolution not long ago.The current national strength of the UK cannot be compared with the UK in that time and space at all.

The Qing Dynasty in that world suffered a lot from firearms when it entered the customs, so the Qing Dynasty banned firearms from the very beginning. Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, Daoguang, the five kings were all exceptions.But the Great Wei is the Han family, the imperial court of the Han family. It is because they are aware of the power of foreign cavalry, so the great Wei has always attached great importance to the development and control of firearms. For any expenses of these two barracks, the imperial court would rather shorten the frontier than these two places.

This is why the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty did not surrender when the Mongols and female straight people besieged the city.

This is also the reason why the Great Wei Jingshi was able to survive the siege of the Mongols and the straight women until the smallpox broke out and the aliens withdrew their troops.

Because the Great Wei royal family valued firearms more than the border gates built by the number of people.

Another piece of evidence is Dai Zi.

In another time and space, because of the fear of firearms, Dai Zi was exiled and died in a foreign land by Kangxi long ago.In the Great Wei Dynasty, Dai Zi has been working hard as his general supervisor, and at the third rank, he is one level lower than Jingzhaofu Yin, and even higher than the prefects outside.

As for Da Wei and Dai Zi, there are not one or two technical officials who are quite accomplished in firearms.Of course, the related technologies of guns and cannons were not even comparable to that of the Ming Dynasty, let alone the Qing Dynasty, which was perverse in science and technology.

Similarly, the fire | guns and artillery technology possessed by Da Wei are far beyond this era.Whether it is range or power, it is not comparable to Western firearms of this era, especially the range, which is only a little short of bows and arrows.

The craftsmen of the Wei Dynasty were also of humble origin, and they had to serve more corvee than the peasants. For the craftsmen, what is the difference between working in the Jiangnan shipyard and working in the Dandong shipyard by the Yalu River?Working in Dandong, the salary is even higher.

Moreover, the ancestral mausoleum of the great Wei royal family is not in Changbai Mountain, so naturally there is no taboo that the trees in Changbai Mountain cannot be moved.The century-old trees on Changbai Mountain flow directly down the Yalu River to Dandong, and then build ships in Dandong’s dock. For Wei, there is no doubt that there is very little overhead here, and the speed of shipbuilding in Dandong’s dock Not at all slow.

Furthermore, during the first *blocked keyword* war in another time and space, Lin Zexu was only the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Does Lin Zexu have as much knowledge of the West as Jia Qi?Not to mention that when Lin Zexu fought with British merchants, other cities on the long coastline of the Qing Dynasty were not fortified at all, and the British were caught off guard.

However, Jia Qi is a political adviser to the cabinet of the Great Wei Dynasty. However, in the coastal states other than the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty, except for Guangdong and Guangxi in the hands of Pan Renmei, almost all other coastal cities are under the control of Jia Qi. Because the Taishanghuang did not appoint the left and right privy envoys and the left and right privy envoys, and the Taishanghuang has been in poor health recently and has been in a state of lethargy for a long time, which gave Jia Qi the opportunity to reach out to the Privy Council.

In addition, Jia Qi is very familiar with Western countries, and even estimated the progress of the first industrial revolution in the UK. When submitting the credentials, he typed the time and even used a trick to make Portugal, Spain and the UK Pinch up.

There are so many reasons that doomed Wei's victory this time.

This time, Wei defeated not only Britain, but also Western European countries such as Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands, as well as pirates in Southeast Asia.

For Jia Qi, the joy of victory was threefold.

It's just that he can't tell others.

Jia Qi could only smile.

Such Jia Qi fell into the eyes of the Zhang family, that is, the style of a general and the appearance of a famous minister.

Zhang Yuanfeng saw that Jia Qi still had that indifferent appearance, so he couldn't help but think in his heart: No wonder this kid is only 17 years old and has firmly seated in the chair of Shenzhizhengshi.Just relying on his calm appearance, it is indeed extraordinary.

Great Wei merged the entire Nanyang into the territory!

This is not martial arts what is it?

No king can resist the temptation to expand his territory.

Although some ministers said that those overseas islands are the land of the dependent countries and should be returned to those dependent countries.

Jia Qi said directly: "Oh, so, this lord is very familiar with Nanyang affairs. However, those islands were brought down by the soldiers of our Great Wei Navy. I heard that this time they encountered the Nanyang Pirates Alliance, and These pirates...Long live, I have lived in the capital for a long time, and I have only been to Shanghai Prefecture as far as I can. I don't know much about Nanyang affairs. It's just that my soldiers of the Great Wei fought to death on the front line. We even went to those islands. The island is sent out if it is an enemy or a friend, I am afraid it will chill the hearts of the soldiers."

A few doctors from the Ministry of War jumped out, saying that many small countries on the South Sea islands usually work part-time as pirates and attack passing ships. Some people also said that Baiyue, Qianxiang and other countries have disobedience. All kinds of evidence were produced.

Anyway, there was a quarrel in the hall.

However, no matter how beautiful the words of those ministers who claim to be in the sky | Chaoshang Kingdom, they can't compare with the words of Zhao Bizhi, the current Shaoqing of Jingzhao Mansion.

Zhao Bizhi said this: "Whether it is Mongolia or straight women, they all regarded our Great Wei as the suzerain country, but in reality? Aren't they also surrounding my Great Wei? So are the overseas countries. If they have enough developed ships Luck, will they be so honest? Long live, I think that the so-called own people, only this country wears Han clothes, speaks Chinese, writes Chinese characters, and is proud of being Han people everywhere. Only at this time can they be considered as Chinese. We are our own people. Otherwise, even if they are honest, they may not turn into poisonous snakes that bite us back."

Honglu Temple immediately jumped out to echo it, and took North Korea as an example, saying that North Korea claims to be a small China in name, but secretly covets us in the three provinces of Liaodong.

Honglu Temple said that the imperial court should consider the possibility of merging these vassal states into our Great Wei.

For example, in this war, Ryukyu was looted once by pirates, Japanese pirates, and Westerners, and even the royal family was slaughtered.

In the Golden Luan Hall, the ministers were arguing, but in the cabinet, the cabinet ministers did not raise their voices at all, and everyone seemed to be in harmony.

It's not that they don't have their own opinions, but that the ministers in the Golden Luan Hall have reached an agreement long before the news of victory was sent.

The Ryukyu Islands are a natural barrier along the coast of our Great Wei. If they are acquired by any country, they may use this as a springboard to threaten the coast of our Great Wei, just like the Japanese pirates in the past.

Therefore, the Ryukyu Islands and the Spice Islands must be firmly in the hands of Wei.

There are also two countries, North Korea and Japan.
