Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

Jia Lian felt that this person who hated Japanese pirates so much must be a native of Fujian and Zhejiang. Jia Lian didn't know that this person lived a young age, so he guessed that he must have lived a long time, otherwise he would not have such insights.

Jia Lian intends to ask him about his views on the war between the sea and the north.

Xiong Shishi also seems to have strong dissatisfaction with the nomadic people in the north. He suggested that all steppe Tartars be detained and domesticated, let them learn to farm, and forbid them to nomad and hunt. If more than 30 people gather, they must be isolated in groups.

Jia Lian asked why.He said that herdsmen are tough, and disasters will happen over time.

Xiong Shishi also suggested that the imperial court should not only accept foreign missionaries and introduce Western medical and teaching concepts, but also send scholars to study in the West to learn their advanced textile technology and firearm manufacturing technology.

It's a pity that Jia Lian thought many of his thoughts were too contrary to common sense, so of course Jia Lian would not fool around with him.

However, Jia Lian decided to suggest that the imperial court introduce Western medicine, because Jia Lian personally witnessed that a missionary cured a child who occasionally suffered from a cold with plain boiled water.

For the rest, Jia Lian persuaded him to be pragmatic: "The governor can support what you said about introducing missionaries to learn Western art. We can try it in Haijiang first, allowing them to set up medical clinics in Haijiang. When more people accept it, we can gradually accept it." Promote it in the imperial court. For the rest, don’t talk about sending troops to build a country in the future. This is not something you consider. However, the governor has something right now, maybe you can help. "Xiong Shitou saw Jia Lian dare Xiao, dared not promise to send troops to Fusang, and was very disappointed, thinking that Jia Lian wasted the title of "Great Official of Frontiers".He suddenly heard that Jia Lian had something to ask, so he became interested again: "I don't know what you want to ask, but don't have too much hope, the young one must have never been out of Fujian and Zhejiang, and his knowledge is limited."

Jia Lian smiled: "It's about Fujian and Zhejiang. What crops do you think will make the most money in Fujian and Zhejiang in the future?"

Xiong Shishi blurted out: "Of course it's tea and silk. Although the imperial court set up a weaving office in Suzhou and Hangzhou, they only focused on asking for silk, but they didn't care about the cultivation of mulberry trees and the breeding of silkworms. Blood-sucking leeches."

Jia Lian raised her eyebrows: "Oh, what do you think?"

Xiong Shitou said: "My lord holds a lot of power and can use it to support Sannong, guarantee their rights, and solve their worries."

Jia Lian said again, "What worries for the future?"

"The worry about the future is that you can't lower the price because of the good harvest of silkworm cocoons. The lack of harvest of silkworm cocoons will increase taxes, forcing mulberry farmers to have to pawn their fields to buy land, and even sell their children and daughters. The production of mulberry silk in Fujian and Zhejiang can be done at the expense of the provincial government. Reputation supports a weaving industry in Fujian and Zhejiang, so that the production, supply and marketing can be integrated, and there will be no worry about the silk not being sold in good years for farmers.”

"We can no longer dampen the enthusiasm of the mulberry farmers like we are doing now. Suppression in good years, and tax increases during disasters. Such harsh persecution will eventually cause the mulberry farmers to be overwhelmed and completely collapse. In the end, it will be the imperial court that will suffer the most. "Jia Lian nodded: "What about the tea leaves, what's your opinion?"

"Longjing tea is the most popular tea in Fujian and Zhejiang. My lord, you send people to plant a large number of Longjing tea in Fujian and Zhejiang, and at the same time send people to the rich and powerful families in Kyoto to give gifts to seduce their interest. But, you have to remember that each household only gives tea One or two, two or two, if there is too much, it will be worthless. If you give it away for a year or two, it will arouse the competition among the rich and powerful, and this Dragon Well will become more valuable."

Jia Lian sneered: "No matter how valuable it is, the real Longjing is only one or two catties, and it is hard to buy, and it is only two thousand gold. For the economy of Fujian and Zhejiang, it is drizzle!"

"Don't worry, the authentic Longjing tea is only the one next to the Longjing tea, but we can cultivate a lot of Longjing teas artificially."

Jia Lian was surprised: "Cultivate Longjing, how to cultivate, Longquan has only one eye?"

"Actually, Longjing tea can be grown in hundreds of miles around Longquan, but the taste is slightly different. You can nationalize the land ten miles around Longquan and recruit experienced tea farmers to grow Longjing tea. Then use Longquan water to irrigate these tea gardens When watering, it can also be watered from the inside and outside, layer by layer. You can also mark them in circles and divide them into No. [-] Longjing and No. [-] Longjing. Can you say that the tea trees watered by Longquan water are not called Longjing tea In this way, tell me, how much Longjing tea should there be?"

Jia Lian can be sure at this moment that Xiong Shitou was definitely not a member of the officialdom in his previous life, otherwise he would not be so outspoken.

Seeing that he is full of kindness towards himself, Jia Lian also believes in cause and effect.As long as Xiong Shi has good intentions, Jia Lian is happy to support him to become a member of the party.

Jia Lian waved: "Stone, you are not afraid..."

Jia Lian compared his hands under his neck.

Xiong Shi shrank his head, his face turned pale with fright: "Da Da Da..."

Jia Lian smiled in satisfaction, and stretched out his hand to pat him: "Don't be afraid, I am not a person who is jealous of the virtuous and capable, but others may not, so if you say this, don't say it again. Of course, if you have any suggestions, you can directly Come to look for the governor, the governor will never treat you badly, and will protect you!"

Xiong Shitou was so frightened that the mouse ran out.From then on, this guy didn't talk too much, unless Jia Lian asked him for questioning, he would have a target.

He didn't dare to lie to Jia Lian. He found that Jia Lian seemed to be able to read minds. As long as he kept talking, Jia Lian would find out and question him, and he would not let him go until he poured beans out of the bamboo tube.

Since then, Xiong Shitou has given up on playing tricks with Jia Lian.

Looking back, he said that Jia Lian was very touched by Xiong Shitou's words, not only was he ready to follow the advice and vigorously cultivate Longjing, but also decided to start this year immediately.

Moreover, Jia Lian always felt a key point from Xiong Shitou's words, that is the brand.

He felt that Xiong Shitou talked about it and missed the point. The promotion of Longjing Tea he mentioned was actually a brand name effect.

For example, Huimo Duanyan.Readers are extremely yearning.

Jia Lian decided to build famous brands in Fujian and Zhejiang from tea and silk.Let everyone think of Suzhou and Hangzhou when they think of silk, and Longjing when they think of tea.

As a result, the economy of the famous Zhejiang has been revitalized.

The governor himself is considered a blessing.

That night, Jia Lian compiled Xiong Shitou's words into a book, and then Jia Lian thought that Jia Yun, who did not participate in Chunwei, made Fujian and Zhejiang famous tea a pillar industry in Fujian and Zhejiang, which is also a road to advancement, and Jia Yun has connections in Beijing , his father-in-law is also an imperial physician, so he can help Jia Yun from a medical point of view.

After Jia Lian thought twice, he transferred Jia Yun to be the magistrate of Hangzhou.

As the prefect of Quanzhou, Jia Lian transferred Mazhou, the direct descendant of Prince Teng, to be the prefect of Quanzhou.

The original prefect of Hangzhou happened to decide a lawsuit, and occasionally made mistakes, and was sued to Jia Lian.Jia Lian tried to help him out. After several rounds of frights such as resisting taxes and making mistakes in judging the case, he was so frightened that he returned home.

Jia Lian was approved by the magistrate for him. Jia Lian not only promised to take care of his back in the future, but also presented the old prefect of Wu with a road rite.Although there is no payment, there is no shortage of disk fees.

The old prefect of Wu was also very cooperative, and the handover of the Hangzhou government was very smooth. The original team of the Hangzhou government was also retained by Jia Yun, and Jia Yun was allowed to choose the best.

The official reputation of the old magistrate of Wu is good, and these auxiliary staff think they are good. Jia Lian suggested that Jia Yun should stay in their posts.Because the next thing is to acquire the land near Longquan, which cannot do without the help of these local snakes.

It is no coincidence that the case of Mr. Wu's misjudgment is the ownership of Longquan tea trees, but the evil gentry of Suzhou and Hangzhou took a fancy to a small tea garden on the edge of Longquan village and wanted to expand it into their own tea garden.The bully couldn't buy it by force, so they sent thugs to make trouble and beat the owner of the tea garden to death.

The local county magistrate did nothing, and kicked out the complainant from the county government office. The young owner of the tea garden filed a lawsuit against Yue Yamen, and the old magistrate Wu beat him with forty slaps according to the rules.

This is not bad, but the bully bribed the yamen servants and beat them to death. The plaintiff died before the trial of the case was over.

Although the old magistrate of Wu severely punished the evil yamen servants afterwards, he could not be brought back to life after death.

Although the relatives of the deceased's family did not dare to sue, the affairs of the old magistrate Wu were jointly sued to Jia Lian by a conscientious squire.

After Jia Lian's trial, he beheaded the mastermind behind the scenes, as well as the dog leg who killed the person.

The bully's wealth was also confiscated to fund a local nursing home.

Although the old magistrate Wu made a mistake, he had to be punished by relegation.The old magistrate Wu had a disturbed conscience and felt that he was old and weak, so he simply retired and returned home.

As a result, the Longjing tea garden belonging to the bully was confiscated, covering a full 150 mu.

In addition to the tea farmer's ten-acre tea garden, Jia Lian made up another fifty acres of fertile land for the tea garden owner's clan, and ordered them to adopt another son to inherit the cigarettes, which was a satisfactory solution.

Jia Lian, Jia Lian, Xu Chen and Cui Fengju made several private visits in micro-services, and soon found out all the tea-producing areas in Hangzhou Prefecture.Of course, many people are unwilling to buy or sell tea gardens. Jia Yun can understand that the inheritance of the ancestors is not easy to give up.

It didn't matter, Jia Yun came forward to sign a covenant with them, and all Longjing produced in Hangzhou would be allocated and sold by the government.

These tea plantation owners could do nothing even if they were not happy, the tea was in Jia Yun's hands.

Afterwards, Jia Lian entertained guests at the governor's yamen, and the tea served for all the government officials was called West Lake Longjing.

Jia Lian's tea is fried and then screened again by the little girls. The one with two buds and the tongue, the one with one bud is too rare. Jia Lian kept half a catty for himself, and the rest was given to Prince Teng Jia. One person is half a catty, and even Emperor Jiakang only respects half a catty.

As for the uncle of the Zhang family, Prince Xi, there are only two or two left.

According to Xiong Shishi, this is called hunger sales.

As for the tea sold to Frangji in Yingjilifu, it is the rough tea after the three leaves, or the regenerated tea after the rain.Even if the tea is sparrow tongue and lotus heart, it doesn't have the taste of Mingqian.

Jia Lian also came to Fujian and Zhejiang, and only then did he realize that the good tea that many people in the capital have always cherished for themselves is just a way to fool them.

Of course, this is just carefully selected old tea.

Fresh lotus heart, Jia Lian has been in Fujian and Zhejiang for several years, but he has never tasted it seriously.It's not that the lower officials are fooling me, but Jia Lian's previous life was sensual and he didn't like tea.

All my life, I had something on my mind, held my breath, and didn't pay attention to these things. I gave all my good tea to Prince Teng Jia to pardon Uncle Zhang, or dedicated it to the emperor.

In addition, Jia Lian also wrote a secret letter to Emperor Jiakang, detailing his own ideas, planting tea gardens in mountainous areas with low yields under the jurisdiction of Hangzhou Prefecture.

The income from the export of these tea leaves is completely equivalent to the income from fertile land.Ask Emperor Jiakang for his permission and support.

Most people open up wasteland to grow food, but Jia Lian did the opposite, changing the fields into tea gardens.

It can't be said that there is a stingy villain to make trouble.It is better for him to pull the dragon flag of Emperor Jiakang first to block the wind.

Looking back, she said that Jia Yun had gone back to the capital to give gifts with a catty of lotus heart, two catties of first exhibition, and five catties of sparrow tongue that Tete had picked out.

One catty of lotus heart was given to the emperor and empress half a catty each, Chuzhan gave it to the eight cabinet members, two taels for one person, and the remaining four taels, which he distributed to his old mother and grand father-in-law.

One or two of her old mother is purely filial piety, but his father-in-law's tea is going to the imperial hospital for a treat, so that the imperial hospital can help publicize that Longjing tea is unparalleled and unique in the world.

Five catties of bird tongue, Jia Yun took out three catties and gave each of the rich and powerful families in Kyoto one or two to try.The remaining two catties were held in his hands, as favors for those who came to ask for help.

Jia Yun didn't expect it.Jia Rong, Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan were the first to come to the door.

Of the three, only Jia Rong is a brother, and both Feng Wei are his uncles. They called for Chu Zhan by name.

Jia Lian can only play the role of arch: "There are still some sparrow tongues, and there is really not a little bit in the first exhibition."

Jia Rong is okay, but Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan are not polite: "Oh, you won't recognize people when you become a magistrate, don't say that we are elders, you should be filial, just say that we have been friends since we were young, you shouldn't Are you fooling us? You gave my father the first tea, I don’t ask for the first tea, I only ask for second tea, you give me these three teas, how can I get rid of your aunt when I go back?"

Jia Yun had no choice but to state the purpose of returning to Beijing next time.

"The two uncles, the second uncle and I are dispensable to tea. I really didn't expect the three uncles to love tea. It's not the peak season. These teas are just the bait that the second uncle gave me as a stepping stone. I came to Beijing Propaganda, so that we can sign a contract and attract interested people to start production in Fujian and Zhejiang tea gardens. This sparrow tongue still has two catties, how about you share one catty with the three of you? I promise, next spring, you three will get whatever tea you want?"

Feng Ziying, Wei Ruolan and Jia Rong let him go with a smile.

Feng Ziying smiled and said, "I just said that it must be weird for Big Brother to let you go back to Beijing at this time. Fortunately, my father also said that you just came back to Beijing to report on your work."

Jia Yun's eyes lit up: "I don't know the two uncles and Brother Rong, do you have any intention to invest in tea gardens?"

Feng Ziying and the others raised their eyebrows: "Oh, look at you, you are so smart, you didn't eat your tea, and you asked us for money."

Jia Yun talked about Jia Lian's plan to vigorously develop mulberry tea in Fujian and Zhejiang.

The No. [-], No. [-] and No. [-] teas are all sold in the imperial court, and the rough tea and second-course tea are exported to the West and the East.At present, the consumption of the East and the West is very huge, and the supply of Fujian and Zhejiang tea leaves is in short supply.

Feng Ziying frowned: "What about Yunnan tea? Can you borrow it from other places?"

Jia Yun shook her head: "Those Western devils don't like dark tuancha, they like the fragrance and sweetness of green tea."

Feng Ziying said: "Tell me, how to invest?"

Jia Yun smiled immediately, this is the first stroke.

"We asked the old farmers from Fujian and Zhejiang to make accurate calculations. It takes 30 taels to 50 taels of silver to cultivate about one mu of tea garden. You are the first-time relatives, and the lowest price is 30 taels per mu." Feng Ziying Frowning: "How long will it take to pay back?"

Jia Yun said: "After three years, after the fourth year, you will earn money, and your tea garden is still there. You just signed a contract and handed over this tea garden to me to manage for you. This is when I am in office. When I and the second When my uncle leaves office, he will also deal with it for you, if you are willing to continue to cooperate with the government, that is good, if not, we can separate the tea garden for you, and you collect and sell tea by yourself every year."

Feng Ziying sneered, and raised her hand to hit Jia Yun: "I'll hit you, sell tea myself, and I'll get tea Yin, am I sick?"

Immediately, Feng Ziying and the three left: "Let's go back and discuss with the head of the family, and wait!"

That night, Jia Yunxie was in the day lily garden of Rongguo Mansion.

In the end, Feng Ziying led his daughter-in-law Jia Yingchun, Wei Ruolan led his wife Shi Xiangyun, and Jia Rong and Jia Qiang from the next door brought Youshi Keqing Yinglian together.

Everyone came to support Jia Yun's cause, and of course they also wanted to leave a legacy for their children and grandchildren.

Feng Ziying gave 3 taels of silver to welcome the spring and bought a thousand mu of tea garden.

Yinglian Jiarong also has 3 taels and a thousand mu of tea garden.

Youshi paid out 6000 taels.

Jia Qiangkeqing also paid 3000 taels.

Jia Yun was inviting everyone to drink tea, and Tanchun also came. She came alone, and she invested 9000 taels.

Tanchun's eyes were red and swollen: "This is my dowry, you write my boudoir name."

Everyone knows this. Tanchun gave birth to a daughter, and her mother-in-law immediately hired a good concubine for her son.Just a few days ago, concubine Liang diagnosed Ximai.

Her husband, however, seemed to have fallen in love with the concubine, and since then, in order to show his loyalty, he no longer entered Tanchun's house.

Therefore, Tanchun went to the palace to find Yu Liuyue and cried. Yu Liuyue sent her nanny to Yu's house to warn the concubine for the stability of her mother's family.

That's why Tanchun is not a widow. Although the husband and wife now share the same room on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, they are just sharing the same bed and different dreams.

Tanchun now only wants to have a son to stand firm, and at the same time guard his own money, investing is also to leave a way for his daughter.
