The Rich and the Idlers of the Red Chamber

Jia Jing's problem is not a big deal, at most it's because he released it once and came into contact with the pill in advance, and relatively speaking, it's not the kind of pill that would be particularly harmful to him, take care of it Yes, he is still a good man.

The whole family of Ningguo Mansion did not really come to Jia Amnesty for medical treatment, they mainly wanted to find out what was going on in the court, and asked, what did Jia Amnesty do before to make such a big commotion? She didn't hide from them about the printing press before, so why didn't they hear any rumors this time?

Seeing the man talking here, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Gu simply went to the backyard to talk, leaving the three of them talking while drinking tea and eating snacks.

Jia Amnesty briefly explained the matter, not to mention Jia Jing, even Jia Daihua was taken aback. Jia Daihua never thought that a loom could do so many things, even a sage would have to Take it easy, you can't do whatever you want.If it was him, I'm afraid he would just do it by himself regardless of 21.

Jia Amnesty shook his head and said: "The imperial government's temporary suppression is actually just treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. As long as there is enough profit, most people are willing to take risks. Besides, the imperial court has no strict order. Except for the weaving bureau, no one is allowed People make and use that kind of looms, my nephew can make hydraulic ones, maybe someone can make other power, even if it is less efficient, it is enough to have an impact on the weaving industry in the south of the Yangtze River!"

"Then what should we do?" Jia Daihua frowned immediately, "Not to mention anything else, the ancestral home of our old Jia family is in Jinling, and there are still more than ten families in Jinling, if something goes wrong , then it will be troublesome!"

Jia Amnesty said helplessly: "Uncle should know that since the previous dynasty, there have been people who could not survive crossing the sea and going to Nanyang to survive. My nephew has also heard about the matter in Nanyang. The land there is fertile, cropped three times a year, and the population is not large. Those who go to Nanyang can easily occupy a piece of land there. Nian is also considered a landlord. The key is that the natives over there, not to mention being lazy, don’t care about others, often make trouble, and even rob and kill people directly!”

Before Jia Amnesty had time to continue, Jia Daihua began to blow his beard and stare: "There are such things. I have seen those natives of the foreign countries in Nanyang. They are all pitch black like monkeys. With such confidence, bullying the people of the Shang Kingdom? It really deserves to be killed! When I turn around, I will tell the Holy Majesty, and directly lead the troops to wipe out the group of natives!"

When Jia Amnesty heard this, his eyes lit up. This is indeed a good idea. However, the climate on the sea is changeable, and the imperial court does not have a capable navy. , the ship will be equipped with some artillery and even trebuchets to fight against the pirates on the route.

Without enough force in this regard, it is still a question of whether the imperial court is willing to go to war for the people who go to Nanyang to beg for life. After all, when the army is dispatched, it burns money every minute!

After pondering for a while, Jia She spread out his hands and said, "My nephew feels that the sage now only thinks about being peaceful, but he is not willing to use force for nothing. Besides, uncle, you also know the virtues of the civil servants in the court. From time to time there are men in armor crossing the border to kill people, and the Lord of Koryo said a few soft words in the national letter, and this side will be in a hurry to reward them, not to mention fighting across the oceans?"

Jia Daihua suddenly became depressed, he sighed, and said: "This world is indeed different from when I was young. What those scholars say, people have a calm mind, yes, it is a calm mind! We old bones Ah, but there is no chance again!"

Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Daihua's lack of energy, turned his eyes, smiled, and said, "Uncle, I still have the team left by my grandfather and the others here, and all the skills on the battlefield are complete. There is no shortage! I heard that in Jinling, there are clansmen who went to the battlefield with the two old dukes!"

Jia Daihua said somewhat unhappily: "No, at the time of the previous court, our old Jia's family in Jinling was nothing more than landowners digging food from the soil. Later, the world was in chaos. My father and your grandfather would My son is still young, first he voted for the rebel army by himself, then he got out of Mingtang, went home and found a group of clansmen, and then started working with the great grandfather, until our generation, there is still a chance to go to the battlefield , otherwise, how could I earn my current fortune! However, how many years have passed, look at my old bones, the fat on my body has come out, and the big knife that used to weigh dozens of catties is in my hand. The pieces of paper are almost the same, until now, I can hardly ride a horse anymore!" Jia Daihua let out another long sigh as he spoke.

Jia She said in a low voice: "Uncle, I have an idea here, Uncle and Brother Jing, you might as well go over it together!"

Jia Jing said on the side: "Enhou, you just say it, we are all a family, what's the point!"

Jia Amnesty also said straightforwardly: "Uncle, dear brother, the Jia family has multiplied a lot these years, but the Jia family's property has not increased much. Everyone is the head of the family, so I should know it in my heart!"

Jia Daihua nodded, and said: "That's right, our Ningguo Mansion is okay, the population is not large, and the clansmen of our two mansions are attached to Ningrong Street, and now some families have only two acres of Susukida left, and only a few acres of Susukida are left all day. I can rely on running errands for our two houses, coming to the door to beat the autumn wind, and offering some future opportunities in the field, and for a meal at home school, as well as paper and pens, I am almost twenty, and I have everything in school!"

Jia Jing also said: "I used to be an official in the south, and when I was free, I went back to Jinling to worship the ancestors. The situation in Jinling is similar. Except for a few houses, most of the people are living in a difficult life!" Jia Jing What is not mentioned is that some of the sacrifice fields in the clan were secretly sold a few years ago. It seems that the person who did this was Lai Da, who had been disposed of by Jia Daishan before. The sacrifice field was bought back, but those clansmen kept the money for themselves.

Thinking of this, Jia Jing has a headache. He is not a strong and decisive person. He found a problem before and wanted to pursue it. As a result, those tribesmen complained, cried poorly, and some of them fought with the old man. The clansmen in the world still carry the disabilities left over from the battlefield. Although Jia Jing is now the patriarch, he has no choice but to deal with these clan elders who are too arrogant. Tian's errands have been managed by a few clan members, but it is actually a temporary solution rather than a permanent cure.

Jia She clapped his hands and smiled, and said, "Whether it's the capital city or Jinling, the Jia family is not as good as it was when the country was founded, even if it is still a duke of two kingdoms, but to be honest, our two families really want to talk about it." I’m afraid it’s not as powerful as a fifth-rank official in the capital! If you want to buy some good land property, but you want to grab the bones in other people’s bowls, I’m afraid it’s rare and ruthless! Even if the saints searched so many People, those properties are sold, all we can buy are some corners, it is inconvenient to manage, and there is not much production in a year!"

Seeing that both Jia Daihua and Jia Jing knew what they were thinking and nodded each other, Jia She said directly: "Let's put it this way, Brother Jing and I are still young now, and it is normal to have two or three more children in the future. Of those clansmen who don’t have many children, think about it, in a few decades, how many clansmen will there be in the clan? We can’t rely on our two families to buy sacrificial land every year and raise them! We still have If you have a title, when the title comes to an end in the future, what should you do if your descendants are worthless?"

Jia Daihua had already come to his senses, he looked at Jia She in surprise: "Boy She, you mean to let the clansmen also go to Nanyang?"

Jia She nodded, dipped his hand into the tea, drew a rough map of the world on the table, then pointed to the map and said: "This is the Central Plains, this is Nanyang, further south, here is another piece of land. The mainland is bigger than the Central Plains, and the aborigines living there are not as large as the population of Jinling Prefecture, and there are very rich minerals there. My nephew heard people say that if someone walks on the road there, he can kick them A dog's head gold!"

"It's farther away from the Central Plains, and it wasn't so easy in the past, but here in Nanyang, my nephew has a fleet in his hand, but he goes south every year to do business with the aborigines there!" Jia She said, "The people in the clan There are also some clansmen who live in poverty, stay in Beijing or Jinling, and live without a break, instead of letting them steal chickens and dogs in the name of the Jia family and do anything wrong, it is better to let them go to Nanyang!"

Speaking of this, Jia Amnesty directly used the method of beaming the sound into a thread, and said in the ears of Jia Daihua and Jia Jing: "In a few years, our old Jia's family will have enough strength, and we can go directly to the south. On this continent, when the time comes, the Jia family can directly become the king there!"

The two were a little dumbfounded by Jia She's almost rebellious words, and they didn't notice for a while that Jia She didn't even move his lips, and said these words in their ears.

Jia Daihua is fine, the old fox, although he was shocked by what Jia She said, but his face just changed, and he quickly returned to his original state, while Jia Jing's expression changed drastically. It's not shallow, it's still a bit of the so-called demeanor of not changing face when Mount Tai collapses in front of it, but now his face changed, but he showed a embarrassed expression: "I'm afraid those clansmen don't want to leave their hometown!"

Seeing the expressions of understanding and excitement in the eyes of both of them, Jia She also exchanged a look, and then said: "Didn't I say it before, my fleet travels to and from Nanyang every year?" And the Central Plains, when they make a bright future in Nanyang, they will be able to come back by boat directly, which is also a return to their hometown! I don’t believe it, they would rather guard their lives than belong to themselves, and they can only be divided every year. When I arrive at the Jitian, which is a little bit promising, I live with hunger and food, but I don’t want to spend more effort on my own to become a landlord.”

Jia Daihua nodded, and said straight away: "Trees are moved to die, people are moved to live, how can our two houses support so many clansmen for a lifetime, and ask later, who is willing to go to Nanyang!"
