The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Situ Pan intends to send troops to attack North America, and Jia Cong is elated, secretly thankful that Huo Sheng has thrown bricks to attract jade.He didn't want to be surprised the next moment.A middle-aged man in his 40s came out from under Situ Pan, and ordered someone to bring up a wooden shelf like the one Jia Cong had used before, with a curtain hanging on it—a curtain PPT!Hey, the ancients were so good at learning.The man lifted the curtain, and it was a map of North America.

The man's name was Yu Changshun, and he traveled to the West with a merchant ship, and then went to North America with an English ship.Not only have I learned many kinds of Western dialects, but I have also inquired about the general situation there.Co-author Situ Pan sent spies to North America to explore the way many years ago.Wow, how long has this been an idea.Jia Cong was overjoyed, and Feng Ziying laughed quietly when he saw it.

Everyone discussed until it was time for dinner, and they only made a rough idea.Situ Pan laughed and said, "It's a big deal. It won't be clear in a while." So he invited a group of confidants to a banquet.

After the banquet was over, Situ Pan asked Jia Cong, "What's your idea about North America?"

Jia Cong said: "I'm just talking on paper, and I haven't been there. Facts are the only criterion for testing the truth, so let's listen to adults. I just thought of two things. One is that almost all Westerners believe in one religion, And this religion collects taxes from believers, which is different from ordinary Buddhism and Taoism. Therefore, Christianity is like another government among Westerners, and sometimes it even has the final say than the government—the government of each country can only manage its own part. Two-thirds of the land, but they can manage all the believers. Second, the prince, let’s teach the children of the common people. The Westerners have immigrated and multiplied there for 150 years. ?”

Situ Pan smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about that. No matter how many of them there are, can they be more than the ancestors of the previous dynasty that they let them destroy? If they can kill them all, so can the lonely king."

Jia Cong scratched his head: "Yes."

Situ Pan said: "Western immigrants are also fighting each other. The orphan will send some capable spies to let them fight more, and we will be ready."

Jia Cong chuckled: Heroes see the same thing.Nai thought about it again: "Since this is the case, the troubled prince must kill one person. This person is a descendant of immigrants from the English country. He is about 20 years old at the moment. I don't know the specifics. Now he is an officer in the British army. GeeWashington. Should be pretty well known locally."

Situ Pan hurriedly called Yu Changshun to come over and ask him if he knew this person.I don't want him to know!Said: "But that GeeWashington from Virginia? He was shot four times in the body, but he only tore his clothes and didn't hurt his body. I'm afraid he has some magical powers to protect his body."

"That's not true." Jia Cong said, "It's just good luck. This person is really lucky and very prosperous. If he doesn't get rid of him, we will be in great trouble."

Yu Changshun hurriedly said: "Sir, why didn't you tell me earlier? I saw him before returning to China. If I knew about this, I would have killed him."

Jia Cong said joyfully, "So it's not difficult for Mr. Yu to kill him?"

Yu Changshun said: "These Westerners are good at firearms, and their ability to fight with bare hands is mediocre. They don't know how to sneak at night, fly over eaves and walls, and migrating locusts with hidden weapons, etc., so they never guard against these. It's not difficult to count one out."

Jia Cong was so happy that he bowed to him: "Please, my lord! Once this person is eliminated, our army's fortune will greatly increase!"

Situ Pan said: "Since he is an important person, let's put this account on their opponent's account."

Yu Changshun said, "That's the French Army."

Jia Cong clapped his hands and said, "Coincidentally, I have a blood feud with Yingjili. If I don't fall for them, who will fall for it?"

Yu Changshun said: "Mr. Jia's words are reasonable. Besides, the ancestors of the previous dynasty over there have not died out, and there are very few remnants. Although the number is small, they hate Westerners deeply, and they can also be used."

Jia Cong said: "Those people are easier to educate than Westerners, and they are easier to deal with. No matter how bad they are, they can slowly eat away." He suddenly remembered another thing, "It seems that many of the ancestors of the American dynasty died of the plague."

Yu Changshun said: "There are a lot of people who died from the epidemic, but no one inquired about the number. It sounds like smallpox to me."

Jia Cong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly shouted "Aww", "I forgot an extremely important thing!"

Situ Pan glanced at him: "You kid always forgets important things."

Jia Cong scratched his head, glanced at Situ Pan secretly, and said with a flattering smile: "That... this matter... is really important. Your lord, you have to forgive your sin first, otherwise I dare not say it."

Situ Pan was already familiar with his temperament, so it was obvious that he had forgotten something good from this appearance, and said with a smile: "Forget it, what can I really do to you? Tell me quickly."

Jia Cong smirked a few more times: "Well... I have a prescription for preventing smallpox. It's just that I haven't tested it extensively. I have to find an imperial doctor and try it a few more times."

Situ Pan was stunned for a while, still not convinced: "What?"

Jia Cong pursed her lips: "Actually, I had it very early on. My husband told me about it, and later I tried it on our family, Fuer Menger, and it worked very well. I was too young at that time, and no one knew about it." I have a gentleman with medical skills. If such an important prescription is said casually, I’m afraid it will attract attention. Didn’t the emperor want to establish a crown prince? I am already eye-catching enough. Therefore, I think I will talk about it when I grow up..." He scratched his head again Scratching his head, he looked at Situ Pan flatteringly and fell silent.

What else did Situ Pan not understand?Forget about it when you grow up!I didn't know whether to laugh or be annoyed.After staring at him for a long time, he poked at him with his finger: "Let Gu tell you what's good about you!"

Jia Cong rubbed his forehead and muttered softly, "I didn't do it on purpose, I just forgot. I haven't met anyone with smallpox in these years, so I can't remember it. If there was a reminder, I would have remembered it."

Yu Changshun watched the two of them from the sidelines, and it took a long time to understand what had happened. He couldn't help being overjoyed, laughing and amazed, and persuaded, "My lord, this is a very good thing!"

Situ Pan glanced at him: "Don't Gu know that this is a great thing? It's just that this kid often forgets important things." He poked him again.Jia Cong blinked his eyes to be cute.

Yu Changshun whispered: "My lord, even Westerners can't do anything about smallpox."

Situ Pan nodded, ordered someone to go to the imperial hospital to call someone over, and turned around to tell Jia Cong: "Speak clearly to the imperial physician, don't forget anything important."

Jia Cong nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "I'll write it down first."

Seeing that the boy had run away without a trace, Situ Pan was silent for a moment, then he looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha..."

Feng Ziying and other confidantes were still discussing matters, they couldn't help walking over when they heard the sound, and quietly asked Yu Changshun what was the matter.Yu Changshun said in a low voice: "Master Feng, that Mr. Jia Cong is really amazing!"

Feng Ziying immediately smiled and said, "That brat is very clever."

"Still clever!" Situ Pan stopped laughing when he saw them coming, but still grinned and said, "I've never been able to tell the difference! I'm just as confused as my old man."

"Much better than his old man." Feng Ziying asked hastily, "What did you do then?"

Situ Pan gestured to Yu Changshun, and Yu Changshun hurriedly told everyone that Jia Cong had a prescription for preventing smallpox.Everyone was shocked and overjoyed, and immediately congratulated Situ Pan.Smallpox is a terminal disease, and it is uncertain how many people die each year, more children.This prescription is of great benefit in winning the hearts of the people, and the means make it so good.Situ Pan thought for a while and said, "Cong'er told me several times that opening a common people's school like the one in Lu State is very beneficial. I thought that since the imperial examination is in Beijing, it is easier for us to get talents than other places, so I didn't agree. Since this kid recommends it, and it won’t cost a lot of money, let’s build it too.” There is really a big advantage to keeping it incomplete.

As soon as the words fell, a staff member suddenly whispered: "Your Majesty, I heard that Jia Cong helped the King of Shu build a school in the Kingdom of Shu in the past, would you..."

Feng Ziying smiled and said: "He did it blatantly, the spies reported it early. Cong'er has always had a heart to help the world, and he will help the people with anything that is beneficial to the people. And I conclude that Cong'er didn't look at it. The king of Shangshu will definitely not run away with him."

The man asked: "How dare Lord Feng make such a decision?"

Feng Ziying snorted and said: "I watched that little boy grow up, and his temperament is very clear. Not only did he befriend the prince of Shu, but he also made friends with the third son of the King of Shu, and even scolded their fourth or fifth son? Anyway, he has met all the sons of the King of Shu. Do you think he dares to make friends with our prince? Even the subordinates who see the prince wish they could hide as far away as possible and have nothing to do with each other. That kid is smart."

Situ Pan suddenly remembered the words played by Zhao Cheng and others, the words Jia Cong said when he visited the Rongguo Mansion with his son's staff on the eve of Princess Jian'an's marriage - "The prince is in the midst of spring and autumn, how many people are the Rongguo Mansion and the son to seek personal gain together?" What do you mean?" Remembering that in the early years when King Chen was still the second prince, he also walked away, so he couldn't help but nodded.This kid has never been involved in the matter of seizing his heir, but others make friends at will.Just looking at this section, he would not vote for the King of Shu.Besides, he had Feng Ziying and Qin Sangu in his hands, so if he dared to vote for someone else, Qin Sangu would be able to bring him back.

The man said again: "Since this is the case, should we arrange an official position for him? Or let him take the imperial examination first?"

Situ Pan waved his hand and said: "He is too lazy to take the imperial examination, and he can't stay in the Yamen. That kid stays in Beijing for nothing. It's better to let him run around and contact various countries. He has a sharp tongue and a big reputation, which is more useful than others. Besides. , Ping’an Prefecture, Guangdong and Guangxi want him to be a stringer, and the Taiwan government can’t do without him.” Jia Cong tried out all the novel and interesting things in other countries in the Taiwan government, which was safer than trying it directly in the country of Yan; Whether it is good or not, Yan Guo will not be tired, and he will send reports for both good and bad.Some of them could see Lin Hai's pen and ink.Although I don't know if the old man is in poor health and can't walk a long way, or because he is upset and unwilling to return to Beijing, he is still doing things for himself.Thinking back, it's true, how could Jia Lian do so well.After all, Lin Hai was the official minister.

The man thought for a moment, and then said: "Since this is the case, Mr. Jia Cong is not young. His grandmother's filial piety has passed, and his elder brother is also married. Should the prince give him a good marriage?"

Before Situ Pan could think about it, Feng Ziying hurriedly said, "That... my lord, Cong'er has taken a fancy to a maid."

"Ok?"

"He said he was going to marry and be his daughter-in-law." Feng Ziying smiled wryly, "Look at his appearance."

Situ Pan frowned and said, "Nonsense! How can you marry a maid."

Feng Ziying said: "I haven't asked him in detail yet, I'll ask later." Situ Pan nodded.

With the appearance of the two of them, no one else dared to say anything.Besides, just because of the intimacy Situ Pan talked with Jia Cong just now, like his own junior, it must be useless.

Suddenly the imperial doctor came, it was an old man.Jia Cong asked his family name, and he said it was Lin.He couldn't help muttering twice in his heart.Although Lin Luan is not dead yet, it is better not to get involved with their family.On the surface, he pretended to be a normal person, and only called others "Lin Taiyi" - anyway, Jia Cong often forgot important things.So he explained in detail how to inoculate vaccinia with Doctor Lin.Situ Pan was quite curious, and called Feng Ziying to come and listen together.Jia Cong recounted in detail how his niece and nephew were vaccinated before and after, and he patted his chest to promise "every test, all success"!Situ Pan ordered the Tai Hospital to find people and Niu to try but not to mention.

On the other side, Ma Sili of Yinfengju spread the news that Mrs. Wang, the owner of the noodle restaurant in the north of the city, is a widow, and the noodle restaurant is temporarily closed for funerals.Boss Wang had a sudden illness, so he invited two doctors to see him, but both failed, so he left within a few days.

When Jia Cong heard about it, he asked Shi Li, "Did you kill the old woman or did he send the old woman to work elsewhere?"

"The empress dowager called back." Shi Li said, "All the guards around her are dead, only Boss Wang and his wife are left. She wanted to transfer the lady boss back and leave Boss Wang outside. A few days ago Situ Pan sent people to the palace to ask those maids, aunts and even old mothers who wanted to marry someone out of the palace. It was also guessed that many wanted to go out and few were willing to stay. The Empress Dowager was afraid that the proprietress would be eye-catching, so she Order Boss Wang to return to the palace. There are many eunuchs anyway."

"So that's how it is." Jia Cong said, "That day I suggested to King Yan to marry off the women in the palace, and it seems that he has agreed; I also said that the eunuchs who are capable in the palace can be taken out to work."

"The king of Yan also has this intention." Shi Li glanced at him, "I heard that someone has been ordered to investigate those eunuchs and pick out those who are useful."

"Oh, my young master's words are really useful."

Shi Li snorted and said, "I don't see how much it has benefited you! Even the cure for cowpox was given away for nothing. Are you afraid of raising tigers in the future?"

Jia Cong stretched out his arms and drew a big circle in the air: "Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and the era of cold weapons will soon be over. Besides, if Situ Pan's men use biological weapons well, they will save much effort than fighting Yes. The population in my court is more valuable than anything else." After a while, Shi Li didn't speak, and he asked again, "Is the little widow in the noodle shop in charge of the Empress Dowager's affairs outside the palace from now on?"

"Yeah." Shi Li said, "Ma Sili has already acquired Yinfengju, and is slowly clearing the account books. It's just that the proprietress is still above him, so he doesn't dare to mess around."

Jia Cong thought for a while: "If you kill her, I'm afraid the palace will be disturbed. Do you have a suitable good man to hook her up? She has been in the palace all her life, and she finally left the palace, and pretended to be a fake husband and wife with an eunuch. "

Shi Li smiled and said, "I've also thought about this method. It's just that I don't plan to send someone to hook her up, I just go with the needle."

"Why don't you wait a little longer." Jia Cong said, "She's a beautiful little widow who runs a small business in the market by herself, so it's easy for idlers and rascals to target her. After she easily dismisses these idlers and rascals, it won't be safe. Someone with a unique vision is looking at her. I prefer to stand on the dry shore."

Shi Li glanced at him: "Someone has already taken a fancy to her, you know her."

"Who?"

Shi Li said slowly: "The grandson of the Liguo Mansion."
