Palace Flower as Employment [Red Mansion]

The Westerners were driven out of Nanyang by the Great Wei, are the Westerners popular?Of course fire.

Their Spice Islands are gone!It means that they lost a series of Nanyang crops such as sandalwood, agarwood, cardamom, and even cocoa beans, so naturally they lost the capital to trade with Wei.

You mean India?That's right, India also has red sandalwood, agarwood, chicken wing wood, and rosewood. However, Southeast Asia is an island, and those trees grow on the seaside, or not far from the seaside, but what about India?Light land transportation will cost a lot of freight!

Hey, there's nothing more depressing than this extra expense.

Not to mention, India does not produce cardamom, dear!

This kind of spice that is more expensive than gold is not only liked by the East, but also welcomed by the high society in the West. However, the cardamom tree is only found on the islands of the South Seas, and it blooms and bears fruit at the same time. The seeds are cardamom, and the fruit has a high sugar content. , is a very good sugar raw material...

Now, all the spice islands, as well as the few sugar workshops on the island, are now owned by Jia Qi.

Under Jia Qi's guidance, they discovered that the trees and seeds on the Spice Islands were very valuable. They were all busy cutting down the trees, and they didn't have the time to pay attention to those fruits. Now that the Spice Islands are gone, they realized that Those fruits that they look down on and let rot in the soil are so valuable!

The problem is, they can't beat it!

Yes, they can't beat Wei's Nanyang Navy.

When they were still able to enter Huzhou Port, they thought that Wei's navy was really small, and there were not many ships at all. Now Nanyang is full of Wei's ships, and they only encountered two batches in the first week. In the next two or three days, you can meet a batch, and now you can meet almost every day.

At the beginning, there were no ships of Wei in the Indian Ocean, but now, Wei's navy can be seen every now and then!I heard that Wei established the Indian Ocean Navy!

Those Westerners saw that Wei’s ship was only partially inlaid with iron armor at the beginning, but later most of the ship’s rams were replaced with iron, and later, iron ships appeared, in the true sense of the word. !An iron ship that runs on a steam engine!

There are also those artillery that hit farther and farther and more accurately!

After realizing that they finally had nothing to do with Wei, the Westerners organized a group to rob the British merchant ships, caravans, warships and so on.

But even if they did this, they still couldn't recover their losses.

Under such circumstances, the Frenchman Louis came to Jia Qi again.Then, when he entered Tianjin, he heard that Jia's mother had died.

According to the rules of the Great Wei Dynasty, when the immediate elder dies, the younger generation in the family must go home to observe their filial piety.Several Westerners who came with Louis cheered on the spot.As a result, the president of the chamber of commerce told them that the Taishanghuang and the emperor simultaneously ordered to seduce love.

That is to say, Jia Mu died, Jia pardoned Jia Lian and Jia Cong went home to observe filial piety, and Jia Qi still stayed in the cabinet, doing his political affairs.Then, less than half a year after Jia's mother passed away, Wang Xifeng, Zhang Shuya, and Lin Daiyu's sister-in-law gave birth to children one after another, all boys.

Western businessmen including Louis didn't know how to react.

Now the Jia family except Jia Amnesty is still in Xiaozhong, Jia Lian and Jia Cong have filled the vacancies, Jia Cong has been in the prefect of Tianjin for half a year, and Jia Lian has just been appointed Minister of Yu.If he didn't know that this Frenchman named Louis knew Jia Qi very well, Jia Cong would not bother to entertain him.

The reason is simple, because the emperor is gone.

The Taishanghuang is gone, so let's go, but he pointed out the empress to the young emperor, the granddaughter of the Taishanghuang, who is eight years younger than the young emperor.

Originally, if the young emperor married someone who was the same age as him, or slightly older, such as the young emperor's cousin Wen Shi, then the young emperor would have been able to rule in person long ago. As a result, because the empress appointed by the Supreme Emperor was much younger than the young emperor, The young emperor has not yet married the queen into the family, so the matter of being in charge is naturally in the foreseeable future.

And Jia Qi, after the 27-day filial piety period of the Supreme Emperor, immediately asked the emperor in the cabinet whether he could prepare to take charge of the government.

To be honest, the emperor himself was also muttering in his heart that he was eight years younger than Jia Qi. Jia Qi is 28 years old this year, and he will be [-] years old in the near future. Didn't he say that he couldn't marry the queen in two or three years?When will the pro-government be?

The emperor even wondered in his heart whether Jia Qi would let him take charge.Recalling that the Taishanghuang did not start contacting government affairs until he was 25 years old under the shadow of Emperor Gaozu (that is, the regent princess), and the emperor had a lot of imagination in his mind.

No, he hasn't had time to express it here, Jia Qi is about to hand over power.

The emperor had to be polite, saying that he was young and didn't understand anything.

Jia Qi said: "In this case, Wansui should start practicing from Huangzhuang first. The minister will list the suitable Huangzhuang, one in Gyeonggi, one outside the customs, and one in Jiangnan. Let’s start. To govern the country, the most important thing is to govern the officials. The more you understand the temperament of the officials below, the more you will be able to make mistakes in the future.”

The emperor almost choked himself to death.

He was just saying a few words of modesty, but Jia Qi went along with the flow and let him manage Huangzhuang!

The emperor felt more and more that Jia Qi didn't really want him to be in charge.In his eyes, what's the use of asking An Zhezi to give more instructions, because he has no real power at all?Even if Jia Qi said that this was to give him a first-hand understanding of the Chinese and Chinese military officials, the emperor felt that it was Jia Qi's evasion.

Also, who made Jia Qi only 28 years old this year, so young?

With such a vision, the emperor squinted his eyes when Jia Qi mentioned that the emperor's harem was still quite empty.

"Jia Aiqing, the queen my grandfather chose for me is only 12 years old this year, isn't she a little too young?"

Jia Qi immediately said: "Long live, the empress is still young, but there is no shortage of people around Wan live. I wonder if Wan live has any requirements?"

The emperor said angrily: "Sister Zhenxin, Wenshi, can Aiqing let her into the palace?"

There was too much anger in these words, Qi Qianliang Jian, and several ministers could all hear the resentment in the emperor's mouth.

However, everyone is smart, so naturally they won't show it on the surface.

The same goes for Jackie.

Jia Qi was slightly surprised and said: "Long live's cousin? Isn't that... Long live, if this Wen family lady is not married so far, since Long live likes it, it's okay to hire her into the palace."

The emperor immediately said: "That's fine. Let the Zongzheng Mansion and the Ministry of Rites handle it. Since the queen will not be able to enter the palace for three years, let the cousin be the imperial concubine first and take care of the palace affairs."

The emperor is almost 20 years old, and the Wen family has a girl who is older than the emperor, and has not yet married? !

This kind of woman was either trying to catch the emperor on purpose, or she had a problem with herself, so she never got married.How can such a woman be qualified to be a noble concubine as soon as she enters the palace?

Liang Jian has the most straightforward temper and expressed his opposition at that time.

As soon as the emperor was contradicted by Liang Jian, his face relaxed.

Jia Qi had to smooth things over: "Cheng'en Gong had only two sons and one daughter, and his youngest daughter was the Empress Dowager Ci'an. As for his eldest son, Wen Zhifu, who is now nearly sixty years old, he has not remarried since his original wife died early. I don't know. This Miss Wen's biological mother..."

"It's not the cousin of the eldest uncle's family, but the second uncle's family."

The cabinet suddenly became quiet, and none of the officials present looked good.

The second uncle mentioned by the emperor was naturally the General Wen who was dealt with by Emperor Sejong himself.The reason why General Wen fell to that point was entirely because he supported his troops with self-respect and was arrogant and domineering. He didn't take Emperor Sejong and the royal family seriously.It was because of this person that Emperor Sejong was very wary of the generals at the border, so that his subordinates catered to his wishes and withheld the supply of the border to that extent, which finally led to the aliens going south.

It can be said that the Mongols would tear Datong apart and encircle the capital, and the source of this lies in the once prominent General Wen Da.Now, to make this person's daughter a concubine, Liang Jian of course disagreed, and of course, the rest of the ministers would not agree either.Fortunately, the four chairs in the Privy Council are all vacant now, otherwise, there would be four more people who would make the emperor look bad on the spot.

Seeing that all the ministers objected, the emperor's face was also very ugly.

The emperor said: "Jia Aiqing, do you want to object too?"

Jia Qi said: "Long live, long live, since you call Ms. Wen Jia a cousin, don't you think she is not young? The adults objected, probably because Miss Wen Jia is too old. After all, there are very few people in the common people's family. A girl who is not yet married at such an age."

"But……"

"However, it's rare for a long live to like a girl, and it seems that it's not what a courtier should do to reject her from the palace. Why don't we let this Miss Wen take over Jieyu first? Jieyu is the ninth concubine, That is the lord of the first palace. The lord of the first palace is handed over to a woman who has just entered the palace. She is not the woman appointed by the Supreme Emperor for Long Live. I am afraid that the clan and the Zongzheng Mansion will not be able to explain it. As long as Miss Wen enters Palace, giving birth to a dragon heir, long live to be sealed, isn't it just a matter of words?"

The emperor wanted to object at first, but looking at Jia Qi, Liang Jian Qiqian and others, and thinking about Yushitai, he had no choice but to do so.

Seeing the emperor nodded, Jia Qi winked at Qi Qian, Qi Qian immediately stepped forward and asked the emperor to hire a famous Shuyuan to fill the harem and spread the branches and leaves for the royal family.

The emperor saw that his sweetheart only got the title of Jieyu, Qi Qian even played such a book, and said angrily: "Don't you also want to ask for a decree of grace?"

Qi Qian and Jia Qi looked at each other, and immediately asked the emperor to issue a decree that no girls from the Jia clan and the Qi clan would be allowed to enter the palace.

The emperor is stupid.

He originally thought that Qi Qian and Jia Qi teamed up to send his daughter into the palace, but he didn't expect that these two actually hoped that their daughter would not enter the palace.

The emperor was puzzled, so he naturally asked.

Jia Qi replied: "Long live, as a prime minister, I must be fair and strict. Although there are no girls of the right age in my family, I will have a daughter in the future. Once my own flesh and blood enters the palace, I am afraid It is difficult to maintain a fair and strict position in government affairs."
