Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

As the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Jia Lian certainly would not send the old lady away with empty promises. In addition to issuing a free governor's order to the old lady's grandson Xiong Shishitou from the county to the government, he also rewarded the old lady's family with [-] acres of fertile land and a yard. .

The old lady kowtowed excitedly: "My kind Lord Qingtian, from now on, the old lady will pray to heaven every day with a stick of incense in her heart, and bless her lord's sons and grandchildren, and live a long life!"

Jia Lian helped the old lady with his own hands: "Old lady, you are too polite. As for the herdsmen of the governor, it is the governor's duty to make the people under his rule have enough food and clothing. He should not be praised by the old man."

The apprentice is still second, the old lady was rescued and lived in a two-entry courtyard, which was the house confiscated by Jia Lian this time when he was rectifying the local tyrants and evil gentry.

What Jia Lian didn't expect was that this old lady was really a strange person. In the next autumn harvest, the old lady figured out a recipe for making sweet potato vermicelli and contributed it to Jia Lian.Jia Lian suddenly became suspicious, this.This old lady was either lucky enough to be favored by the heavens, or she, like herself, had a strange background.

No matter what strangeness the old lady has, Jia Lian is not prepared to interfere.Moreover, the old lady had good intentions towards him, so Jia Lian had no reason to target her.

Jia Lian was thinking, maybe this old lady Xiong is illiterate, maybe she is a legendary figure like Grandma Huang?

Jia Lian decided that a good person would be a good person to the end, and suggested that the county government get rid of the superiority of men and women and hire the old lady as a village elder.

What Jia Lian didn't know was that after being appreciated by Jia Lian, Mrs. Xiong went home panting and pale with fright. After closing the door, she pulled her eight-year-old grandson Xiong Shitou to tremble: "Stone, stone, it's terrible. , this time grandma can't get over it. Mr. Jia said that in the future, if there are any difficult things in the county or village, he will come to ask grandma for advice. Grandma doesn't understand anything, what should I do?"

His grandson, Xiong Shitou, comforted: "Grandma, don't be afraid. If you don't know what they ask, you should think about it. When you come back, grandson will teach you!"

Only then did Mrs. Xiong feel relieved, and said, "Shitou, Mr. Jia is very kind to us. This time, not only did he make grandma a town official, but he also rewarded grandma with 100 acres of mulberry fields and [-] taels of silver. You can grow up Don't forget your kindness!"

Xiong Shitou nodded in agreement, but he was secretly muttering in his heart that all the novel writers since ancient times are liars. He is obviously the governor of one party and has both sons and daughters. He just said that he is the second generation ancestor.There is also Jia Yun, who is the magistrate, he said that she is a poor relative of Daqiufeng, and when I go to Beijing in the future, I will find out whether Qin Keqing is Jia Rong's wife?

In August of this year, Baoyu was full of filial piety, and went to Haijiang to participate in the experience of the family and auspicious scholars.

Baoyu is not suitable for government affairs. Jia Lian asked Baoyu to learn politics as an apprentice, and went to the nearest county school to teach.

When the magistrate introduced Baoyu's name and said that Baoyu had a criminal record, Xiong Shitou suddenly exclaimed: "Cao Xueqin, you are a big liar!"

Although he spoke very quietly, Jia Lian knew it.

Who is Cao Xueqin?

Afterwards, Jia Lian recruited Xiong Shitou for questioning.

Xiong Shitou didn't expect Jia Lian to hear what he said in such a low voice. They were about 500 meters apart at that time?

Xiong Shishitou was not stupid either, he lied and said, "It was a down-and-out storyteller I met. He once told a story about a wealthy family in Kyoto. He said that his surname was Jia. There was a son in this family who didn't like reading since he was a child. I just like to drink and play with sisters and girls."

Jia Lian immediately understood: "So you were surprised when you saw Jia Tanhua?"

Bear Stone nodded.

Jia Lian suspected that this person was reborn like himself, so he asked, "Aren't you surprised to see this governor?"

Xiong Shitou nodded and shook his head: "Yes, no..."

Jia Lian frowned: "Is it true or not?"

Xiong Shitou shrank his head in fright: "That man is talking nonsense, he said, he said, Governor Governor, you have no real talent, just..."

Jia Lian snorted, "What is it? The Second Patriarch?"

Xiong Shitou was so frightened that he knelt down: "Xiaomin didn't dare, it was the down-and-out scholar who said it, it wasn't Xiaomin, Xiaomin had never been to the capital, sir, check it out."

Jia Lian waved him away.

Afterwards, Jia Lian sent people to investigate, and the former neighbors of their grandparents said that the grandparents’ family was harmed by Japanese pirates at the beginning, and Shitou’s father and mother covered their grandchildren’s escape. The little grandson fell down and almost died while escaping. His grandmother Almost jumped into the sea, but he lived again.After he came back to life, this kid was smarter than before. He had never been to school, but he could read a few words, but he couldn't write.

Jia Lian immediately understood everything.

All the achievements of Mrs. Xiong probably come from her little grandson, but Jia Lian is not going to expose it.

After all, Xiong Shitou is too small, and abnormality is called a monster.

Jia Lian guessed that this kid might have an adult soul in his body.So far, it seems that Xiong Shitou has done no harm, and Jia Lian is happy to support him.

This Xiong Shitou is also very smart. He spent a year in the school attached to the county government, took part in the children's examination, and passed the county examination smoothly.Although the admission of the county examination is relatively wide, those who can write fluently will be fine.

However, Xiong Shishi only read the book for one year.

Baoyu told Jia Lian about this.Jia Lian became curious and carefully read his test paper.The county school examination is very simple. Generally, the first sentence is written and the next sentence is blank for candidates to fill in.This is mainly a test of memory.

Another type of topic is that the county magistrate puts forward a topic, there is no standard answer, and students are asked to write impromptu, mainly to see the mind of the examinee.

Jia Lian mainly looked at this topic, and the county magistrate made a topic on the importance of the existence of Shifangsi.

Xiong Shishi's answer was amazing.

He wrote that it was an epoch-making decision for the imperial court to reopen the Shifang Division.Afterwards, he talked about the many advantages of reopening the city's restaurant.Not only that, but he also elaborated on the necessity of reopening the Shifang Division from both military and political aspects.

For the people, of course, it is to make profits. He said that making profits will make the people rich, and the people will be safe if the people are rich, and the people will be happy when they are safe.When the people live and work in peace and contentment, the country will be prosperous and strong.

The importance of re-opening the Shi Fangsi to the imperial court, he said, knowing yourself and the enemy, you can win a hundred battles. We didn’t understand the Japanese pirates before, so we always suffered losses in the beginning, and then suffered a lot. Finally, we found a way to deal with the Japanese pirates, so we won.

Because of this, if our imperial court wants long-term stability and prosperity, it cannot close its doors and keep its doors open. It should open its doors and learn advanced technologies from Westerners and even the Orientals we hate, including medicine, industry, agriculture, military industry and so on.

Finally, he talked about military affairs. He said that if he wanted to defeat a country, the best way to conquer a country was to use barbarians to control barbarians.

Jia Lian felt that the writing of this article was very insightful. If it weren't for the poor handwriting, otherwise, it could really be the first case in the county school.

Jia Lian had a good idea in his mind. I'm afraid this child was not a scholar in his previous life, otherwise his handwriting would be so awkward?

However, Jia Lian cannot deny that this son is a talent.

Jia Lian decided to encourage this bear stone.

Xiong Shishitou came to see Jia Lian, and he was very respectful and bowed down.

Jia Lian raised his hand: "Excuse me! I'm looking for you today because of your county test answer sheet. I want to ask, did someone tell you those words, or did you realize them yourself?"

Xiong Shitou said: "I also heard it, I agree with it in my heart, and I have my own ideas."

Jia Lian nodded: "However, you are very knowledgeable. I saw that you have a saying that you use the barbarians to control the barbarians. What do you mean?"

Xiong Shishi hesitated before replying: "Actually, it's the same principle as learning various skills from foreigners, but the former one talks about using their good skills, while the latter one talks about using the outstanding talents of their nation. Use it. Through these people, we understand them, learn from them, and ultimately defeat them."

Jia Lian frowned: "Oh, why does it sound familiar to me?"

Xiong Shitou was seduced by Jia Lian, and hurriedly replied: "Sir, you must think that this approach is the same as the Japanese pirates developing our local tyrants and evil gentry to do things for them?"

Jia Lian nodded.

Xiong Shitou went up the slope: "I'm not going to hide it from adults, but I also realized this truth from those people!"

Jia Lian smiled: "Shall we learn from Japanese pirates?"

Xiong Shitou thought that Jia Lian didn't agree with his ideas, or misunderstood that he worshiped Japanese pirates, so he hurriedly explained: "My lord should check clearly, but my little one..."

Jia Lian waved his hand: "You have already enrolled, I am your parent officer, and I also wrote an inscription for your school, so you can call yourself a student."

Xiong Shitou was overjoyed when he heard the words, and paid respects: "Thank you for your support!"

Jia Lian nodded: "Say it!"

"The little ones didn't worship the Japanese pirates, but hated them very much in their hearts. Therefore, the students thought that we could learn from them and repay them with the same way. In the court, this hatred must be snowed, and this hatred must be avenged, so the students thought that when our imperial court is strong and strong, we can send a surprise army and go straight to Fusang Island..."

Xiong Shitou said a lot, and Jia Lian summed it up in one sentence, Xiong Shitou suggested that the court send troops to Fusang when the time is right, and eradicate the Japanese pirate country that has repeatedly violated our seas and borders!

Jia Lian saw that Xiong Shitou hated the Japanese pirates so much, he wished he could eat meat and drink blood, so that he could kill them soon!

This Jia Lian can understand, it is estimated that there is no one in Fujian and Zhejiang who would not want to lose the Japanese pirate country.

Next, Xiong Shitou seemed to have found a bosom friend, and he talked endlessly, lobbying Jia Lian to let Jia Lian support him to lead the team to study abroad. He said that he would guarantee better grades than Zhang Qian.

He also said that Zheng He's practice of giving away everywhere and throwing away another place is not advisable.

If he were, he would occupy the places that had been captured, establish a country, carry forward the culture of the Han nationality, and domesticate the people to become a subsidiary state of the Great Moon Dynasty.
