Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

A few days later, Prince Nan'an returned to Kyoto and presented a yellow-haired monk to the Supreme Emperor.

The foreign monk was fond of chanting sutras, and when he mentioned his belief in gods to protect his immortality, the Supreme Emperor immediately became interested.

But instead of immediately believing in God, he invited different "powerful men" to argue with Monk Huang Mao in the market. He will listen to whoever wins.

Jia Lian went to listen out of curiosity and saw the bald monk beating the yellow-haired monk, surrounded by locals who were watching the fun.

I originally thought that this was because the Emperor was getting older and had begun to seek immortality and seek immortality. Now that they saw such an ending, the officials who originally wanted to submit a memorial also fell silent.

However, there was still a trend of "respecting Buddha and loving Taoism" in Kyoto. Because of this, the Jia family had a laissez-faire attitude toward Jia Jingdu, who was "refining elixirs" in a Taoist temple in the suburbs.

Now, Buddhism and Taoism have been demonstrated, and the alchemists, goddesses, and shamans have also practiced it in turn. The Supreme Emperor is looking for new methods, and the Nan'an County Prince's move scratched his itch.

"This foreign monk is nothing more than that."

The Supreme Emperor was satisfied and continued to refine his immortality pill. He rewarded Huangmao Monk with a fifth-grade official position and left him.

He also greatly commended Nan'an County Prince Huang Degong, so the birthday banquet of Nan'an old concubine was also a lively one.

As a future subordinate of Prince Nan'an and a descendant of his family, Jia Lian naturally wanted to go and congratulate him in person.

Even Jia Mu, who doesn't like to go out, took Sister Feng there in person to meet the old concubine and support her grandson. Therefore, when the Prince of Nan'an returned to the south, Jia Lian and his family caught a smooth sailing.

The prince's official ship was very large. When he left, he not only took Jia Lian and his wife with him, but also took a large shipload of goods with him.

Since the eunuch Sanbao went to sea on orders, the shipping industry of the dynasty has been very developed. Unlike the Japanese pirates who go out with a "bathtub", the country is like an "aircraft carrier".

Jia Lian and Sister Feng were like "Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden" and became very ignorant people.

"Look over there. Those are leather goods from the North, right?"

"And this, how many medicinal materials shops did this cost? The ginseng is packed in boxes."

The couple looked around on the deck to see the good things on King Nan'an's ship.

"It's a pity that we didn't think about it, otherwise we can make a lot of money!"

Sister Feng sighed. The couple chatted with the people on the boat and found out how much money Prince Nan'an earned during his trip to Beijing. They were really envious.

"I thought my Western clock was very valuable, but it turned out to be worth two flower bottles outside."

Sister Feng said bitterly, she only found out after getting on the boat that it was not uncommon in the south for the Western clocks that the Wang family of Nan'an County sent to the capital to make a lot of money. It's just that in order to continue to be regarded as rare items, the number shipped from the south is small.

"Second Master and Second Grandma should come back soon, be careful if the wind blows and gives you a headache."

Jia Lian's nanny Zhao reminded her that she was one of the few old people around Jia Lian. Although she was a mother-in-law, she was more knowledgeable than the average person.

So this time Jia Lian came to the south to serve as an official, and their whole family also came with him.

As soon as they came out, the world was vast, and even Lin Zhixiao's family, who had been a little reluctant at first, became happy. Their family also arranged for their youngest daughter, Lin Hongyu, to come over and serve Sister Feng from now on. Therefore, Jia Lian and his wife traveled in a very large group, about fifty people.

These forty or fifty servants are nothing on Prince Nan'an's ship. Compared with the prince's people, they are just a fraction.

Jia Lian listened to Nanny Zhao's urging several times, and then went back with Sister Feng.

"Oh my God, this ship is so big. It's almost as high as Tianxiang Tower, isn't it?"

Sister Feng whispered, she was always excited in her heart, thinking that it would be really good to follow Jia Lian, and the knowledge outside would be enough for her to brag about for the rest of her life.

"What does this mean? This is just swimming in the inland river. When you go to the sea in the future, you will gain experience!"

Jia Lian is also a genius who knows how short-sighted he is? The official and civilian ships were completely different. He had never seen the ship they were traveling on in his previous lives.

Only then did he realize how limited his knowledge was. When he was in Yuanchun, he never thought that the country's scientific research results had reached this point.

Boat building! HNA! This is what is needed in the Age of Discovery. If he sailed a boat to rob the sea... ahem, but unfortunately if he said it, he would definitely be scolded by scholars.

A wealthy family actually cares about the things in the doghouse, and it turns out they don't read books by sages.

Jia Lian's thoughts began to spread. The pride of this dynasty could not tolerate him shouting to be prepared for danger in times of peace. No one could have imagined that this dynasty was about to collapse.

They are obviously just a few petty thieves, and they are obviously just a few traitors. There are many capable ministers in the court, and the prime minister of Beiqiang is a man who failed the college entrance examination. How can there be anything that cannot be undone by heaven?

Oh, he always thought that his family was lonely because he was too poor, but now he realized that the reason why his family was lonely was that he was "too rich."

"What goes up must come down...it's the end of the world~"

It's okay if you are poor, there is still room for development and progress. But if you are too rich, you will fall into decay and division.

This dynasty is now invincible in the world, so it has fallen into internal strife. Coupled with the test of time, dynasties will change.

However, when things prosper, the people suffer; when they die, the people suffer.

Jia Lian looked at the fort in the distance in a daze, trying to find a way to continue the Jia family.

The Jia family was too "united" before, and the tree branched out, but they still clung to their past survival experience and stayed together. Because some of the branches that branched out did not develop well, they shrank back, limiting their own development.

For example, the Xue family was previously a close confidant of the emperor and supervised the other three families on behalf of the emperor. His family had independent financial power, but once Xue Pan's father died, their family retreated to Jia's house to hug together for warmth.

The same is true for the Wang family.

After the prince left the capital, he did not disperse to various places to re-establish branches. Even people like Wang Ren who stayed in their hometown to renew their roots eventually went to the capital to sign up for the tour.

Jia Lian thought, if they had returned to Jinling earlier, would they have been able to avoid being ransacked? Doesn’t it mean that we don’t have to join in the excitement of the wedding ceremony?

Both the Xue and Wang families continued to use their previous survival experience and reported to the group whenever they encountered difficulties. They spread the "rotting disease" to the Jia family, and then the Jia family was dragged down.

And so did the entire court.

Prince Nan'an was originally a branch of the imperial power, but because both the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor were suspicious of Prince Nan'an, in order to balance authority and control their family, they allowed it to happen, which caused the son of the Prince of Nan'an to hate his father.

But Prince Nan'an is the next generation of people in power. The consequences of the split of power are already clear in the original work. Even Jia Lian began to doubt the reason behind the "capture".

"Sir Tongzhi, the prince has summoned you."

Suddenly a boy came over to deliver a message. Jia Lian quickly changed his clothes and went to see him. Then he was confused by the first words of Prince Nan'an.

"When you get to the place, you can follow my son to do things!"
