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

This son refers to the crown prince Huang Cong.

At this moment, Jia Lian felt that he must have grown into a ball.

Otherwise, why would I be kicked around?

But this is indeed a good idea. If Jia Lian was a serious official who passed the scientific examination, he would not be treated like this.

Nan'an County Prince's Palace has also had an old friendship with the Jia family for many years. He was able to let the "Second Emperor" arrange Jia Lian by his side instead of killing him conveniently on the boat, which was a great honor to the Jia family.

He does have ulterior motives, and the cargo in this shipment speaks volumes.

The world of Red Mansions is imaginary to Jia Lian, but there is also an allusion here about the famous Three Treasures eunuch traveling to Southeast Asia.

Therefore, shipping in this dynasty was developed, and people from all over the country went to sea to do business.

Commercial development would promote the birth of the buds of capitalism, and therefore imperial power would also be affected. As a result, strict commercial laws emerged here, which stipulated that merchants going abroad could only be imperial merchants.

When everyone heard this, how could the royal family eat meat and drink soup without making the people rich together? Therefore, more and more people went to sea privately.

When the royal family saw that this was no longer possible, they vigorously killed the leaders. As a result, the Jia family and the Mu family of Dong'an County were stripped of their coastal defense authority and treated coldly.

However, the Wang family of Nan'an County still retains this power because he was once a confidant of the Supreme Emperor. But now that the imperial power has changed and a new emperor is born, the power of the Nan'an County royal family must be replaced.

This person is not Jia Lian.

Although Jia Lian was secretly assigned tasks by the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor before leaving the capital, Jia Lian knew that he was just a little sheep and could not replace Prince Nan'an as the next person in charge of coastal defense.

The cronies don't just recruit you to make some promises in the dark room and entrust you with important tasks. Although the emperor needs Jia Lian to go through fire and water and die, he is stingy and needs Jia Lian to create opportunities by himself.

But Jia Lian didn't pass the exam, and he didn't have the experience of fighting with soldiers on the battlefield. How could he be reused for a person whose position was unclear?

Jia Lian is not a local aborigine. He has been brainwashed by loyalty to the imperial power since he was born, so he goes in one ear and out the other. He only asks about it and is done, so he doesn't go up and seek death!

The Prince of Nan'an County also saw that Jia Lian was using the excuse of being a real loser to show that he had no ambition. After getting on the boat, Jia Lian never came to hang around the prince, please him, and wait for the prince to give him a real job. Instead, he played with his newly married daughter-in-law, joked around, and learned how to fish from the moving speedboat. .

So when he was almost there, he pretended to think of Jia Lian and sent him a new errand.

He would definitely not keep Jia Lian, a suspected spy, around, even if he was honest, so he kicked Jia Lian to the left-behind eldest son Huang Cong.

The Supreme Emperor's decree is for Jia Lian to obey the orders of the county king. He can't just refuse the first task, right? So Jia Lian answered yes honestly and thanked him.

Without a life, everything is in vain. He didn't travel through time to be a loyal leek.

The crown prince Huang Cong was a martial artist. He grew up next to the old concubine in Nan'an when he was a child. Later he learned that his father, Huang Degong, had petitioned the emperor in the south to make his filial son the crown prince, so he changed his dandy's temperament and started practicing martial arts.

He happened to be a genius, and he learned it through experience after entering the military camp. When he excitedly wanted to support his mother-in-law, his mother-in-law was killed by Huang Degong's concubine.

In a fit of impulse, he almost killed his father's concubine, but it was the Supreme Emperor's decree to reconcile that made the relationship between father and son less rigid.

In this world, filial piety is a decisive virtue. If a person has great talent but is unfilial, has a bad temperament, and has a bad character, his father will also be criticized and looked down upon.

This pathological filial piety is an important part of the divine right of the emperor. Therefore, no matter what kind of person Huang Cong is, his reputation is not good.

Therefore, his crown prince position was unstable, and thanks to the support of the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor, he was loyal to the royal family.

Of course, Jia Lian heard about this, so he planned to go and lie down with the intention of being treated coldly by the prince. Anyway, as long as you don't gnaw at the Jia family and still have money to take, it can be considered progress anywhere.

I just have the time to continue to develop a relationship with Sister Feng.

But he never expected that Huang Cong would accept him seriously and directly arrange for Jia Lian to take over the military supplies.

"The military camp is no different from other places. Promotion depends on military merit. Now that the dynasty has been at peace for a long time, it has not fought for a long time. Now it is just fighting a few pirates who have no eyesight."

Huang Cong smiled and said: "The Holy One has sent you here because he cares for the Jia family. I have also heard about your family. We have many officials trained by your grandfather's generation here who are the mainstays in the camp. Since the Holy One has sent you as a colleague, If you know it, you can’t neglect it and just take care of the reserve food and grass in our camp.”

Jia Lian followed Huang Cong into the camp confused.

There are a total of 30,000 soldiers here, which is considered the largest military camp.

When Jia Lian arrived, he took a look at the accounts and found that although there were minor flaws, they were not the sinkholes he had imagined. Moreover, these 30,000 soldiers have their own military and agricultural industries, and with the prosperous commerce here, all of them are fat and fat.

"When you come here, you have fallen into Fuwowo. Before I came here, I thought I was exiled, but look at our momentum. Have you seen the northern border guards? Follow them. For example, one of us can beat the three of them!"

Huang Cong seemed very proud and pulled Jia Lian to talk about how to make a fortune from the sea.

Because the dynasty prohibited going to sea privately, they could make a lot of oil and water by just walking around the beach.

There are all kinds of foreign goods here, including Sister Feng's dowry clock, glass screens, etc., which are displayed casually in an ordinary small shop.

"Those who usually go to Sichuan and Sichuan for Tibet, few of them go to the capital. That is to say, the decorations are more fancy and weird. This was originally made by our family. Later, foreign monks made it so fancy and passed it back. Kyoto has its own carvings. I don’t like to use this, so it’s rare. Even this glass is really rare.”

Huang Cong thought Jia Lian was interested in Western clocks, so he said casually.

"That's not valuable. Now it's more profitable to sell goods to the West, whether it's porcelain or silk. By the way, aren't your Jia family most familiar with the Zhen family who stayed in Jinling? If you follow your path, you can be with Jiangnan Will the Weaving Department get involved?"

"What? What line? I..."

Jia Lian wiped his sweat and felt that he had fallen into a trap.

"Oh, what are you pretending to be? Do you want to be an upright official when you come to my place? Since we are in the same place, we are accomplices!"

Huang Cong hugged Jia Lian and laughed, "We are in the same group. How can we be innocent when we enter this place? Do you really think that I am an old fool? Except that he has not rebelled, he is like an emperor here. Do you think that? Why don't many people sue him? It's not because they are all members of the same boat when they come here! Let me teach you to be good, or think about how to get more people into the water? "

"After all, the emperor is already suspicious of him!"

Huang Cong smiled with a strange look in his eyes.
