The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It is said that Jia Cong didn't care about it, relying on the self-confidence he didn't know where he came from, he insisted on handing over the business in Beijing to Zhu Tong, so he patted his ass and ran away.Jia Huan was not at ease, and ran to Qin Keqing and said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law Liu Er, this person is not really one of us."

Qin Keqing said with a smile: "I have my own sense of propriety, it's fine to let him take care of some daily affairs."

Liu Xianglian also tugged at her arm and whispered: "I'm afraid that Mr. Zhu is a fool in his bones, and he will learn our method and pass it on to Beringen in the future."

Qin Keqing said: "Anyone who picks out Mr. Newton's masterpiece from a pile of serious books to read must not be a conservative person. Besides, I think Cong'er also has the heart to pass on some things to others. Liu Aiyun has already learned about the same. gone."

Jia Huan said: "Brother Liu has known each other for so many years, so it's reassuring to know each other well. Besides, the Xue family and our family are on the same line."

Qin Keqing picked up the tea and took a sip: "This is called upstream and downstream. The Xue family is the upstream source of goods and the downstream agent distributor for our family and Prince Beijing, and the Bai family is the logistics port. If the Bai family can improve efficiency, it will be beneficial to our family, Xue's family is all good. Do you think Cong'er didn't reveal anything to Shui Rong? In my opinion, Cong'er's move is very good. Zhu Tong is willing to stay in our family in the end. We need an excellent talent; if he wants to return to Bai Go home, bring our management model to the Bai family, and integrate the upstream and downstream management methods. He must be the most advanced one in the management of the Bai family, and he must be able to hold great power, and Zhu Tong himself must owe us a favor, and it will also benefit us greatly."

Not far away, Zhu Tong was looking at the simple picture frame of the internal process left by Jia Cong, and he couldn't help but laugh: "Can't you go out and say this? The voice of the shopkeeper Qin is not low, and the students can't hear it."

Qin Keqing said with a smile: "The two of them wanted to tell me, why did I go out?"

Zhu Tongnai said sternly: "Let's not talk about other things, students will not abandon the master and leave just because they can't be reused for a while."

Qin Keqing said: "I'm not talking about reuse. You still don't understand it now. After you get used to the effective operation model, you will not be able to use the backward model. I will look at the Liu family after I get used to it. Those in the lumber business can't stand it. You'll understand that in the future."

Jia Huan pouted: "Sister-in-law, why do I not understand some of the words you said?"

Qin Keqing gave him a sideways glance: "Aren't you too lazy to listen to me when I ask you to imitate you?"

Jia Huan tugged at her sleeve: "Good sister-in-law! Teach me!"

Liu Xianglian hurriedly said: "She is healthy now, and she still wants to teach Zhu Tong."

Jia Huan said: "One sheep is also shed, and two sheep are also chased, so let's go together~~"

Qin Keqing smiled and nodded his forehead: "If you want to learn, just follow Mr. Zhu, and you can't be lazy."

Jia Huan nodded repeatedly.

From that day on, he and Zhu Tong followed Qin Keqing.In my spare time every day, I often talk about "species evolution", "social evolution", and "class change", slowly filling Zhu Tong's ears with many truths that Jia Cong smuggled from later generations.How did Zhu Tong know what the hell he was up to?It sounds very reasonable, novel and interesting, and the more I listen, the more I like it.

On the other side, Jia Cong galloped back to Taiwan Mansion as if desperately, without even changing his clothes, he went straight to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, unkempt and disheveled, fortunately the gatekeeper knew him and didn't stop him.On the way, I met Lin Daiyu and Jia Tanchun standing in the porch and didn't know what to argue about. Jarvis occasionally interjected to help the dispute, but said: "The three of you stop for a while and come together."

Daiyu Tanchun didn't pay attention to him, but now she recognized him and said in unison: "It's just in time for you to come back!"

Jia Cong waved his hands without waiting for the two of them to speak: "Let's come to Xiaoxi together, there is something important."

Daiyu Tanchun said in unison: "We have important matters here too!"

Jia Cong had no choice but to cup his hands and said, "You two sisters, come to discuss this end first, and then tell me how you are? Come quickly!" After saying that, the two of them picked up their feet and walked away quickly. Like a gust of wind.

The three had no choice but to follow.

There are all kinds of Western firearms, guns and cannon models and blueprints in Wu Xiaoxi's room, and he is discussing matters with the next person at the moment.Jia Cong came in and pointed at the man first: "Pause! Go and call Gong Kun over."

Wu Xiaoxi became angry: "We haven't finished talking yet, what's the pause? Queue up, let's talk about you after we finish."

Jia Cong said: "My matter is important!"

Wu Xiaoxi said: "Why is my business all right?" Looking up to see the three people coming, he hurriedly said, "It's just in time for you to come! Lin Xiangye Lin Shangshu, if my ammunition depot is not completed, when will the dilapidated house not be kept in place? It has to explode!"

Lin Daiyu said: "You have built more ammunition depots than Big Sister's!"

Wu Xiaoxi said: "Anyway, you are responsible for the explosion!"

Lin Daiyu turned her head to look at Jia Cong: "Not enough manpower!"

Jia Cong stomped his feet and said, "There is not enough manpower to add money! I don't believe that I can't attract people!"

Daiyu said: "It's easy to say, even if we still have some money, the wages must not be too high. Otherwise, people will come to work, so don't we need people to plant the land? Then the price of food will have to rise again."

Jia Cong said: "Buy grain from other places! Our people will take care of your use first. No one can stop farming for a while and buy grain from everywhere. What are you afraid of if you have money?"

Tanchun covered his mouth and coughed heavily three times.

Jia Cong said: "I'm just going to discuss money with you. You are all busy! Forget it, you are busy first. I am almost dead when I come back from the horse race all the way in the capital. Go wash up first." He rolled his eyes and ran away in a hurry.

A few people watched him blink and disappear, so they had to look at each other a few times, and then discussed things.

Jia Cong was really tired. When he went back, he saw Jia Amnesty and went back to the courtyard to take a bath. After washing, he ate half a plate of snacks and a pot of tea. How could he have the energy to go out?I fell asleep when I fell on my head on the bed, and slept until the next morning.Fortunately, he was young, and after getting enough sleep, he regained his energy, packed up and rushed to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Knowing that he must have something important to say today, Daiyu ordered everyone to come out early when they had time to spare, and within a short time a room was full.

Jia Cong said: "My colleagues, Situ Pan sent letters to the kings to discuss state affairs together in March next year, such as imperial examinations, river governance, etc. I intend to intervene and encourage them to fight."

Everyone's face changed.

Jia Cong waved his hand: "Westerners are robbing the whole world, and it will be a matter of time before they come to us. Therefore, I intend to persuade the kings to fight. It is just to rob money from Westerners, and it will not work without firearms. Let's do it today." There are two methods for firearms. One is to buy Westerners." He then looked at Wu Xiaoxi, "Because all the kings don't understand this, I want to monopolize the firearms sold by Westerners to my dynasty."

Wu Xiaoxi raised the corner of his eyes: "You mean, you want to be an arms dealer?"

Jia Cong shook his head lightly: "No, no. I want to be an arms tycoon. If the kings want to buy Western firearms, they have to find someone to find out where there are firearms for sale? There are probably not many people around them who can speak Western languages. Right now. Until November, there is still some time before March. We have to focus on this matter and spread the news among the maritime merchants." As he spoke, he took a pen and drew a figure on the case, and everyone looked at it as if they were Inside this circle is an unknown object.

Jia Cong smiled and said, "The one inside is an abstract octopus painting." Then he wrote the words "Hi Claw" next to it. "Today there is a strange Western merchant, nicknamed Hi Claw, who is familiar with all major western firearms dealers, and has various dragon and snake roads, so he can buy all kinds of Western firearms. This is his badge."

Daiyu frowned and said, "Why did you choose such a weird name?"

Jia Cong said: "The weirder it is, the more confusing it is."

Daiyu shook her head: "Forget it, you've always been weird, it's just a name anyway."

Jia Cong went on to say: "Every king who wants to buy firearms must first find someone to find out the way, and the prince who wants to fight must have money. If you have money, you have a big heart, and if you have a big heart, you want the best firearms. Even if we only charge [-]% of the interest, it is enough for us to make money."

Xiaoxi nodded: "Understood. It may not be possible, you can try. It's just that Westerners are willing to sell you firearms to fight themselves?"

Jia Cong smiled and winked: "Don't worry! They will definitely agree." Nai added, "Another way is to make firearms yourself. Western firearms are better than ours now. I know that some firearms in the previous dynasty were worse than those of Westerners." It’s better, but we can’t get the blueprints, and we have let Jingzhong Luo Tainiang and Brother Liu wait to get them a few days ago. Our own research and development process also needs to be faster.”

Yuan Chun said: "This matter cannot be accomplished overnight."

Jia Cong said: "Concentrate the manpower first."

Yuan Chun said calmly: "People are really limited, and you can't become fat if you eat one bite. It's more reliable for you to get the blueprints in Beijing."

Jia Cong shrugged helplessly.After everyone discussed the meeting again, Daiyu asked him if there was anything else to do, and he said, "Although everything is important to us, we have to make a priority."

Everyone's eyes lit up immediately.

Jia Cong said: "The first thing that matters is where is the eldest sister. Third sister, anyone's money can be moved, and the determination to cultivate talents must not be moved."

Tanchun looked at him: "Where is it moving?"

Jia Cong said: "Now we have to start farming first. There is a shortage of people everywhere, but farming is just for food. Food can be bought first. But when the people find that they have less money to buy food and more money to work, they will naturally go Work instead of growing food. We would rather subsidize some, but also have to lower the price of food on the market."

Lin Daiyu frowned and said, "This is not a long-term solution."

Jia Cong pointed to Yuan Chun and said, "The big sister's place is the long-term solution. Develop technology, improve farm tools, and make mechanical things, so that farming does not require so much labor."

Yuan Chun said: "At first you said that the steam engine was the most important thing, then two days later you said the telegraph was the most important thing, and two days later the AC/DC generator became the most important thing again. Now there is another farm tool .What is the most important thing? There must be an order. Besides, we are not rich here, and I can't get so many people at once."

Jia Cong said: "The steam engine is the most important, followed by the telegraph, and the next row is further down. The steam engine is directly connected to the steamboat and the agricultural vehicle. What about the Jenny textile machine?"

Yuan Chun said: "This is quite easy. According to what you said last time, a few masters have already completed the prototype in a short time."

Jia Cong nodded: "Give me the picture and the prototype. I will take it to the capital to sell in March. As for the people, there are many adults in my country, and the skilled craftsmen are hidden among the people. I have already asked Uncle Jia to let Ma Xing pay more attention to search." Craftsmen are not valued by the imperial court, and it is easier than going to the West to find people. Over there," he thought for a while, and said, "there is an Englishman named James Watt, who is quite talented, and we have to find a way to get it. "

Gong Kun said: "Didn't you bother the Xue family's fleet to inquire about the master of science in Xiyang last year? I already have an order." He looked at Yang Heng, "General Yang, I'm afraid you have to go to Xiyang personally. .”

Yang Heng smiled and said, "Come here?"

Liu Feng said: "Since you are an extremely important person, you can be kidnapped. You are a pirate."

Yang Heng clasped his fists: "I got the order of the military advisor!"

Liu Feng said: "When you come back, about four girls and General Wu will also come back. When the time comes, let General Wu take a look and just say that you have caught the wrong person and save those Western gentlemen."

Xiaoxi blinked and said, "Since they caught the wrong person, don't they want to go back to the country?"

Liu Feng said: "If you catch the wrong person, you will naturally release them on the spot. Can they still reason with the pirates? They have no money, no power to restrain them, and they don't understand what I say. I have traveled thousands of miles to the West. Go to Miss Lin's place to work hard to earn some money, how can they go back? Besides, Miss Lin's place is only building Chengtian Port at the moment, and it will be a military port after it is completed, and it will be used by the navy. There is no commercial port on our island for the time being. If they want to go back, they must find a boat, right?"

Everyone laughed.Gong Kun pointed at Liu Feng and said with a smile: "At this table, you and Weiss look the most honest, but in fact he is honest and you are fake honest."

Liu Feng said solemnly: "I am also honest. It is the duty of counselors to advise the lord, just like the experiments done by Western gentlemen. It is purely technical and has nothing to do with morality."

The crowd laughed again.

Jia Congnai asked: "Mr. Gong, does Mr. Lin have anything else to do?"

Both Gong Kun and Daiyu said "yes", so they discussed the matter for half a day.

It was time to end, and everyone was packing up their desks, Jia Cong suddenly shouted: "Ah, that's right!"

Everyone had a meal.

"I went to greet my father this morning. He said that our affairs are all important matters, and he doesn't care about the others. It's just that the elder sister is not young enough to get married. This is the number one priority in Tianzi. He ordered me By the way, I mentioned it. The meeting is adjourned!" He clapped his hands, shouted "Awwhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Everyone also said: "It has nothing to do with me." So they picked up their belongings and filed out.

Jia Cong said loudly outside again: "Hey, bachelors, listen up~~ I've got the household registration of sister Hong Xiuxiu and sister Jinjiang. They are both free and good citizens in the capital. If you want to propose marriage, please hurry up and let others Snatched away, the dowry is rich~~~"

Hong Xiu Jinjiang was guarding outside the door for a while, and immediately blushed when he heard the words.The crowd booed loudly outside again.

The only one left in the room was Gong Kun who was still working on a pile of copywriting, and Jia Yuanchun was still checking the list.
