The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It is said that when Qiu Liang came to see Jia Cong, he first mentioned the woman from the Fang family, and let Jia Cong fool him.But let's talk about business.He said: "My lord has already occupied Myanmar. As Mr. Jia said in the early years, most of the Indians next door to Myanmar have been occupied by the English. Recently, some people have come to provoke them."

"Huh?" Jia Cong frowned, "The English come to Myanmar to provoke?"

"Yes."

Jia Cong sneered: "This is a great opportunity, let's fight!"

Qiu Liang said: "It's very easy for the prince to attack Burma because he has Western firearms; those English people also have them."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "There are many Western countries, but firearms are not the best in that country. The Western firearms on the market in our country are better than theirs. However, if you want to fight with them..." He thought for a moment and said, "I advise you The prince joins forces with the two of them."

"Who?"

"Huo Sheng, the king of Nan'an County, and Shui Rong, the king of Beijing County." Jia Cong said, "Huo Sheng attacked Vietnam, Khmer, and Sulu, but he just robbed them and left without thinking of occupying them for a long time; Shui Rong has already occupied Siam. Luo Duoshi is about to establish a country soon."

Qiu Liang was startled: "Those in Siam belong to Prince Beijing?"

"Huh? You don't know?" Jia Congqi said, "He has occupied it for a long time."

Qiu Liang said: "Although I know it's my dynasty, they haven't put their signs out."

"Shui Rong is too cautious." Jia Cong said, "The Beijing Prince's Mansion in the capital was empty in the past, and now there is not even a serious master in the mansion, only a few concubines who were formerly Prince Beijing. Shui Rong's mother-in-law And the women and children were taken away."

"So it's his." Qiu Liang clapped his hands, "We've been guessing for a long time."

Jia Cong thought of another person: "I searched for a woman and recruited pirates to attack Java Island." He sighed softly.

To say that Zhou Xiaolan is really interesting.At that time, he probably overheard some things in the Taiwan government, and went to the South Seas alone, and it only took less than two years to gather tens of thousands of pirates.Nai led two subordinates to Hongguji Guangzhou store to discuss business.Wu Xiaoxi heard that it was her, and rushed over from Chengtian Mansion.Zhou Xiaolan said: "Java, your island is called Indonesia, and it has been occupied by the Western Netherlands for hundreds of years. You sell me firearms, and I will print Indonesia. If Malaysia does not fight, I will leave it to you." Wu Xiaoxi understood at that time meaning.She must have heard people in the Taiwan government discussing how important the Strait of Malacca is. In the future, other places can be left to others, and this place must be conquered.So he accepted the love and gave her a preferential price.

Qiu Liang hurriedly said, "We've also heard that the female pirate's surname is Zhou, and she is very powerful. Westerners say she knows witchcraft."

Jia Cong smiled and said, "What she knows is not witchcraft, but martial arts. It's just a green forest master with some skills. Where have Westerners seen this?"

Zhou Xiaolan has used her abilities as a master insider to be extremely durable.At first no army was raised to attack the island, but many men were sent down to find out where the Dutch were and who was in the lead.Then take advantage of the dark night and wind to play assassination, starting with those with high official titles.Indonesia is the territory of the Dutch East India Company, and there are many Dutch soldiers.Zhou Xiaolan assassinated the Dutch men one by one, leaving the women and children untouched, and soon there were rumors of witchcraft.When the Dutch army was motivated, she sent a large number of troops again, and the war went smoothly.But when the Dutch had warships back, she led the men back to the sea, and after a few days waited for the Dutch recruits to settle down a bit, she went to assassinate them again.There have been rumors in the Netherlands, and many people are afraid to come to Indonesia anymore.

Qiu Liang asked: "Does Mr. Jia know this woman? My lord, Nahan, where did such a young woman come from?"

Jia Cong said: "I know General Zhou this week. People in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were killed by Japanese pirates when they beat their families. They learned martial arts from a master and worked as bodyguards for several years. Once they protected a young master from a rich family on a long trip. Seeing her good looks on the road, she wanted to take her as a concubine. This woman felt that being a bodyguard is a humiliating job, and she might as well be a pirate."

Qiu Liang said in amazement: "There is such a woman! Since she looks good, why not marry a good family?"

Jia Cong said: "People are willing to marry even if they don't want to be bodyguards? Don't you have to listen to your husband and mother-in-law after you get married? How can you be a pirate at ease. The population of Java Island is not large, and the Dutch are taken by her. I was so scared. After a while, being the heroine of a country is not better than being a concubine?"

Qiu Liang sighed, "There is such a woman."

Jia Cong said: "Speaking of which, the prince was in Burma, did he ever become a native?"

Qiu Liang said: "I don't have that mental strength for now."

Jia Cong said: "It doesn't take too much effort. Just hire some teachers to teach the local important natives how to speak and write Wochao dialect. From now on, all official documents must use Wochao script, and the natives want to be officials. You must learn the I-chao dialect. The rich and the rich will naturally learn the I-chao dialect, and ordinary people can also be motivated. No matter where they are, as long as they speak the I-chao dialect, write the I-chao characters, and wear the I-chao clothes, they will be happy. It is me who is facing people. But if it becomes me, people will not turn back in hundreds of years."

Qiu Liang thought for a long time after hearing this: "That's the reason. In this way, the school that Mr. Jia mentioned must be built, otherwise there are so many teachers."

Jia Cong said: "Whether it is for Shu or Burma, it must be built." Qiu Liang nodded.

As soon as Qiu Liang left, Yuan Shikai ran over and tugged on his lapel: "Lord Qiu, how is the Second Master Kang of the Fang family? My brother will never forget him."

Qiu Liang thought for a while: "Your brother is the child who is accompanying the young master of the Fang family?" Yuan Shikai nodded.Qiu Liangdao, "The Fang family's women and children are now housed in the Tiexiang Temple, and their expenses have never been shortened."

Jia Cong laughed out loud, and said, "Who came up with this idea! It's too good!" Nai looked at Qiu Liang, "Could it be you, Lord Qiu?" Qiu Liang nodded with a smile.The corpses that were brought out from the tunnel under the Shu Palace that day were transported by Qiu Liang's relatives to the Tiexiang Temple for incineration and salvation.Locking the Fang family members there can virtually suppress them from calling out grievances.Jia Cong suddenly remembered something, and said, "That Taoist priest can be interrogated publicly, so that everyone can listen."

Qiu Liang said: "I'm afraid it will scare the elders."

Jia Cong said with a smile: "The Taoist priest really wanted to survive, so I discussed with him and changed some things. For example, the Seven Yin Formation was not placed under the palace of the King of Shu, but in a small village outside the city. Casting spells in the village to harm the prince. Those killed by him are all teenagers and children, and they are the hearts of ordinary people's families."

Qiu Liang thought for a while: "I'll discuss it with the prince."

For a while, he went back to see the king of Shu, and reported in detail what happened just now.The King of Shu thought: "So, that Miss Fang is not a fairy?"

Qiu Liang said: "It doesn't seem to be the case. Mr. Jia only said that she looks good. Besides, that Liu Yifei may not be a fairy. Since it is not convenient for the prince to kill him, as long as he is not messed with. Mr. Jia is always for the good of the prince."

The King of Shu nodded and said, "It's fine to keep them, let's see who will save them."

A few days later, the king of Shu ordered Qiu Liang to publicly try the Taoist priest who was in the Seven Yin Formation in the Yamen of Jiedushi, and invited many respected old people to sit and listen.The door of the yamen was almost squeezed!When the Taoist priest admitted that he had killed many people by following the demon law, everyone in the hall scolded him.After hearing this, there was another aunt who didn't care about the yamen servant's obstruction, rushed forward, took off her shoes and fanned the Taoist priest a dozen times with the soles of the shoes, until the Taoist's mouth crooked.

On the second day of the interrogation, the old couple came trembling and crying, saying that their 15-year-old only son was kidnapped by Huazi and sold into Fang's house, and they didn't want the Taoist priest to kill him with mercury.On the third day, there were two more couples. Both children were abducted by Huazi and died at the hands of the Taoist priest.If it is said that most of the people listened to the excitement on the first day, they were frightened in the next two days.At first, they thought that those young children who died unjustly were slaves bought by the Fang family, so they didn't take it seriously.Now that I heard it, it turned out to be the child of a good family, who was kidnapped by Hanako!Immediately thought of his own children.While frightened and apprehensive, he secretly planned to go back to take care of his little boy.

Qiu Liang wept and said: "People can't be resurrected after death, but I hope you will be sad and obedient." He said loudly to report to Mr. Jia, and Mr. Jia hurried to the Kingdom of Shu. Looking at the corpse, Mr. Jia saw that the dead soul was trapped, he Qiu Liang personally sent him to be cremated, and the dead soul bowed down to the king of Shu to thank him.Qiu Liang had been in the capital for many years as the commander of the Five Cities Army and Horse Division, and his words were so tight that the common people couldn't help bowing down: "My lord, thousand years old——"

But the Taoist suddenly yelled "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"" and hugged his head like he was being beaten, even the eyes of the yamen servants were frightened!The Taoist suddenly hugged his stomach again, then shouted, wrestled with his hands and rolled all over the floor, looking like he was being surrounded and beaten.The people below held their breath in unison.I heard the Taoist yelling: "Don't look for the poor Taoist! The poor Taoist was just hired by Fang Xiong! The injustice has a head and a debtor! The poor Taoist has never received a few silver coins! Fang Xiong said that after everything is done, there will be a big reward. The meeting has not been completed yet! Pindao helped him kill hundreds of people and only got less than 300 taels of silver, and the pindao is also wronged—" He heard him say "ah—" loudly, blood spewed out of his mouth, lying on his back He was motionless on the ground.

The yamen servant boldly stepped forward with trembling hands, tested his breath, and shouted, "He's dead!"

"Boom—" It was as if a pan of oil had been fried.Someone shouted: "Wild souls demand their lives! Evil will be rewarded with evil!" Many people followed up and shouted: "An innocent soul is demanding their lives! Evil will be rewarded with evil!" The hall was much more lively than the stage.

Qiu Liangnai walked up to the Taoist priest with his hands behind his back, looked around, and sighed: "Why bother to come? If a monk is good at practicing, even if he can't ascend, he can be clean, right?" So he ordered the Taoist priest to be dragged away.

When the people dispersed, Qiu Liang went to the yamen and saw that the Taoist priest had wiped the chicken blood from his mouth and was drinking tea.The Taoist priest stood up and made a speech: "Lord Qiu, the poor Taoist has finished singing as promised, how about please release the poor Taoist as promised?"

Qiu Liang shook his head and said: "If you leave like this and people see it, wouldn't the lord lose all face?"

The Taoist said: "The poor Taoist disguised himself in the dark and left."

Qiu Liang asked with a smile: "Who are you disguised as?"

The Taoist thought for a while, "Why don't you just pretend to be a monk?"

"Monk? Wouldn't it be necessary to get a bald head first?" Qiu Liang glanced at him, "How about going to Iron Statue Temple to shave?"

The Taoist priest trembled in fright, and said with a wry smile: "My lord, please don't make jokes."

"That's all." Qiu Liang said, "Master Dao, in my opinion, it's not convenient for you to pretend to be a monk. It's best to pretend to be a corpse."

The Taoist immediately widened his eyes, and said with a sneer: "Your Excellency is making fun of poor Taoists again."

"It's not a joke, it's true." Qiu Liang clapped his hands twice.

Someone immediately came out to arrest the Taoist priest and poured a pot of poison into his mouth without any explanation.But within two quarters of an hour, the Taoist died of exhaustion—this time the blood around his mouth was really human blood.Qiu Liang sneered and said, "Send it to the Iron Statue Temple and burn it to ashes!" The people below agreed and dragged away the body.

From this day on, people in the streets and alleys, teahouses and taverns have been talking about this story, and the commentary script has been everywhere in less than half a month, and it is called "The Story of the Soul".The popular support of the King of Shu was unprecedented.It's just that no one knew that the three couples whose children were killed were all servants of Qiu Liang's family.Ordinary people made a lot of noise, but many people in the army did not believe that Fang Xiong would do these things, and there was an undercurrent.It's just that Fang Xiong and his four sons are all dead, and there is no leader for the time being.

The king of Shu thought for a few days and discussed with his subordinates several times, and finally decided to build a compulsory education school for the children of ordinary people.Jia Cong was overjoyed when he heard about it, and ran to the Shu Palace to help every day, knowing exactly how to do the first step and the next step.How do people know that he has several years of experience?In just a few days, Jia Cong accepted a large group of subordinates of the king of Shu who were doing practical things.

The king of Shu also went to listen to their discussion one day, and seeing the procedure book written by Jia Cong, he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Mr. Jia, you wrote this?"

"That's right." Jia Cong said casually, "It only needs to be refined a little bit more and we can start doing it."

The king of Shu praised: "It's so clear and clear!"

"Thank you for your praise!" Jia Cong thought for a while, "There is something I would like to ask my lord."

"What's the matter?"

"The original Shu Palace, what is the prince's plan?" Jia Cong said, "First of all, there must be no bullshit, and the Taoist priest is only two hundred and five. It's just that there are so many tunnels underneath, the prince may not feel at ease. It would be a pity if it is vacant. "

The King of Shu laughed and said, "I'm not afraid of loneliness, but my family members dare not live anymore. What do you think, Mr. Jia?"

"How about turning it into a school?" Jia Cong said, "Build a comprehensive university."

The king of Shu asked, "What is a comprehensive university?"

Jia Cong said: "Ordinary academies only teach Confucian classics such as the Four Books and Five Classics. Students will take the imperial examinations and become officials in Japan, right. Beijing Central has just finished the imperial examination, and the new number one scholar has been released."

King Shu nodded: "That's right."

"Uncle Wang Ziteng's schools in Guangdong and Guangxi mainly focus on Western subjects such as mathematics, physics and chemistry, in order to teach the best craftsmen to train talents for various factories. The children of ordinary generals learn the art of war from their families." Jia Cong smiled and said, "My lord, it's fun to rob in Burma! Tianzhu still has a lot of gold. The lord is from a military family. What the lord lacks most is not the number one scholar who can read and write, but the general who leads the army. Wansheng thought that the general You can also pick talents from ordinary children."

The King of Shu took a deep breath and asked, "This school you're talking about?"

Jia Cong said: "It not only teaches the Four Books and Five Classics, but also teaches craftsmen and generals. This school can teach whatever talents the prince wants. The prince can be the dean of the academy himself. No matter what line of work these people do in the future, they will be the prince's students. "
