Xu Lian and True Phoenix of the Red Chamber

Lin Ruhai understood what he meant very well, and Lin Ruhai was even more satisfied that Jia Lian could see things so clearly and knew that things were not something he could just keep privately.If this nephew of himself only cares about the immediate interests, but does not see the long-term, holding such wealth, he will cause trouble instead.Now it seems that although he is young, he is very decisive, which is really good.

Jia Lian took the initiative to tell Lin Ruhai how he knew the method of pearl production, how he used his brain to come up with such an idea, and how many times he had people try it.At least to Lin Ruhai's ears, there was nothing wrong with it.

"It's done, I understand what you mean," Lin Ruhai agreed, "I just hope that you don't like to make troubles so much in the future!" He still has a bit of a headache to talk about such things to the emperor, after all, Jia Lian understands The method of this matter is not very good, I only found out after reading the books of Westerners, but I can only say this, I hope the Holy Majesty will not come up with any special ideas, this Holy Majesty is still suspicious. Heavy.

Lin Ruhai felt a little uneasy in his heart. When facing the emperor, he was still very cautious, which made the emperor feel strange, "What's wrong with Aiqing, is there something on her mind?"

That's what Lin Ruhai waited for, and immediately climbed down the ladder, "If you go back to the Holy One, it's true that the younger generation in the family is ignorant, and something happened."

Hearing what he said, the emperor was very curious. The younger generation in Lin Ruhai's family, the emperor thought he knew his family fairly well. It seemed that he only had a daughter. What could happen?Immediately smiled and said, "Oh, I don't know what it is, Ai Qing just said it." The emperor was still very keen to show his image of being close to the people.

Lin Ruhai said cautiously, "It's my nephew who actually raised pearls."

When the emperor first heard him say this, he really thought about which nephew Lin Ruhai had, but he just thought about it for a long time, and never thought, "Your nephew?"

Lin Ruhai immediately replied, "No, it's Jia Lian from the courtier's wife's family. It's really a headache to have such a thing happen."

The emperor finally figured it out, so he said, where did Lin Ruhai's nephew come from? As for Jia Lian, he still had some impressions, so he asked cheerfully, "Ai Qing just said that he raised pearls. ? That thing, can it still be raised?"

Pearls are gorgeous, but the emperor himself is not very clear about how they are produced, but he is not engaged in agricultural development, so it is not surprising that such things do not know.

But after hearing what Lin Ruhai said, he suddenly felt that there was a big advantage he could take.His idea was correct, if pearls could really be cultivated, then he could raise as many as he wanted... He thought about the wealth that would be brought, and couldn't help being surprised.

Of course, the emperor also quickly understood that things like pearls should not be cultivated too much, otherwise, the products would be overproduced and the price would be too low.

But those are not the most important things now, but what this thing is all about, although Lin Ruhai explained it, but he himself didn't know it very well, and he also felt that it would be better if Jia Lian explained it in person. Then he pushed the matter to Jia Lian, "I just heard him talk about it. What's going on, the Holy Majesty probably wants to ask Jia Lian."

Of course the emperor wanted to ask Jia Lian, not only to ask, but also to see what Jia Lian was thinking. Since Jia Lian was willing to say something like this, he must have had some ideas. He wanted to take a look at this person. Are you really smart, or are you pretending to be smart?

Jia Lian thought he was really smart and understood the truth of the crime of being pregnant with biscuits. When he heard the news of the emperor's summons, although he looked surprised on the face, he still thought of it in his heart. He wanted to give it to the emperor. Great advantage, it is impossible for him not to summon himself.

As for how to meet the emperor, Jia Lian was still a little nervous. This is meeting the head of state, so why not be nervous?Over the years, he has cultivated a bit of noble air, at least in the eyes of the emperor, although this young man is a little nervous, he still behaves well.

"What's the matter with the cultured pearls, you and I have a good talk." The emperor is most concerned about this issue, not to mention, he needs no greetings with Jia Lian, so he naturally cuts to the topic directly.

Jia Lian said he obeyed, and simply said what he said to Lin Ruhai to the emperor again, showing his loyalty, "The minister was really terrified when he got such a method, so he thought of offering it up." To the Holy One."

The emperor thought about his words carefully, and was still a little unhappy about some things, "You mean, you read how pearls are collected from the books of Westerners?"

Jia Lian nodded and said yes, "I don't have any hobbies on weekdays. I just think those Western books are quite interesting. They have some missionaries who say some unreasonable things in their mouths, but the books they bring are quite good."

It's not that the emperor didn't care about Western learning, but he always felt that it was too small to be used, but who would have thought that Jia Lian would figure out such a thing?Jia Lian also talked about some Western gadgets, not the clocks and glass in his impression, but a large factory of shotguns and foreign guns, which sounds quite deceptive.

"These are small things, you don't need to spend too much thought on them," the emperor had a good impression of him, so his tone was rather tactful, "It's something from our heavenly kingdom, which they can't compare to. "

Jia Lian immediately expressed his patriotic feelings, "No, our big country is naturally not comparable to their small places. I just think that learning from the barbarians can control the barbarians. Learn about their things and have a look. If there is something good and usable, it can be regarded as doing my best for the Holy One." He is now in the Lifan Academy, and it is not surprising that he has such thoughts, after all, those who have just entered the officialdom do not want to do something. What about the deeds?

At least, what he said made the emperor think it was very good, he nodded in praise and said, "It's good if you can think so."

Jia Lian looked at the emperor's self-satisfied appearance, and wanted to tell him, don't be too confident. In a few years, your descendants will be beaten to death by those people you despise with foreign guns and cannons. .Confidence is good, but if you are too confident, you can only be called stupid!

It's just that he didn't have the idea of ​​being heroic yet, so no matter what he thought in his heart or how he slandered him, he couldn't take the initiative to tell the emperor.

And the emperor was more concerned about what he meant by pearl cultivation, "Is there any difference in the pearls produced here?"

"Actually, this method of breeding has some records in the Song Dynasty, but the method has not changed for a long time, let alone scaled," Jia Lian said truthfully, "This time, I also borrowed the Western method to transfer our The breeding method has been improved, and the pearls raised are no worse than those caught in the deep sea." He is not a technical talent, and naturally he has no skills, but he paid money to win over technical talents to study, and even more so. I found a lot of classics to study, and the final results are still very good.

Listening to Jia Lian's words, the emperor looked at what Lin Ruhai had sent up earlier, and felt that it was very good. He said with a smile, "You have made a great contribution. I don't know what reward you want?"

"I dare not." Jia Lian once again made an appearance of being extremely loyal.

The emperor was still very satisfied with his performance, "There is nothing to dare, if you can't think of it yourself, I will think of it for you." He had to think about what kind of reward he wanted to give.

Jia Lian instilled a lot of dangerous ideas into the emperor, so he patted his ass and left. Over there, Lin Ruhai followed the emperor, "Jia Lian has nothing to do, please forgive me." In his heart, he felt that Jia Lian said Those words are too dangerous. Western things are not so easy to touch.

But the emperor waved his hand, "Aiqing is worrying too much, what he said is not bad." Learning from the barbarians to control the barbarians, the emperor felt that after hearing this sentence, he only felt that it was in his heart.

While lamenting Jia Lian's good luck, Lin Ruhai thought, if he got the chance, he must be dealt with so that he would not be so bold and dare to say anything in the future.

Here, Jia Lian went home and talked to his wife about meeting the emperor today, "I didn't expect that His Majesty is quite open-minded, not as serious as we thought."

"Second Master is really too," Wang Xifeng couldn't help laughing, "It's not the first time you've seen the Holy Spirit, so why are you sighing?"

Jia Lian said in his heart, the first time I met the emperor was taking an exam, and there were so many people, I didn't even say a word, so I don't know what the emperor is like, I know he looks like an ordinary person, and his appearance is not good. Very ordinary.This time, I chatted with the emperor personally, it's a big deal!

"It's just talking." Jia Lian smiled, and instead of discussing this topic, she asked, "We have given away the business opportunity this time, so don't feel bad about it."

Wang Xifeng immediately raised her eyebrows, "Why do you still treat me as a miser? If we keep such things and want to make a fortune, we have to say that we will not be able to make a fortune, but will cause big troubles. How can I not understand such a truth? Doing this now will really benefit you!" As for what the benefits are, although the emperor has not made a decision yet, she believes that she will never let them down.

Sure enough, the emperor gave Jia Lian a real benefit. Jia Lian was promoted. He was promoted only half a year after joining the job. Although he was only half a year old, many people couldn't help but get red-eyed. For example, Jia Zheng, he has now been reduced to the same level as Jia Lian.

It's just that Jia Lian stayed in the Lifan Academy. Speaking of which, he was not as good as Jia Zheng in terms of department, which made Jia Zheng feel more comfortable.

As for Jia Amnesty, he was very happy about his son's promotion, "I knew that Lian'er was a promising person. She had just entered the job for less than half a year, and she won the favor of the Holy One. The future is bound to be limitless. Compared with someone, it is really It's so much better."

Jia's mother didn't know about these things. Now she is in a free-range state for the second room, and she no longer pays much attention to them. Jia's mother is very clear about what they think, but she only pretends to be. I don't know, otherwise what else can I do?She is so old that she doesn't have the mind to work hard anymore.

Wang Xifeng smiled happily, "This is really a great thing, but you have to be careful, after all, those colleagues may feel a little uncomfortable." They have been mixed for so long before they got to this level. Who can be happy if you go in and get benefits?

Jia Lian understood the minds of his colleagues very well, and there was no shortage of ways to deal with them, "Don't worry."
