The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It is said that Jia Cong extorted 200 million taels of silver notes from Mr. Tian, ​​magistrate of Fuping County, kept 150 million for himself, and took the remaining 50 to Situ Cen on Mopan Mountain to redeem himself.The bandits are not sloppy in doing things, they hand over money with one hand and hand over people with the other, and both ends.

Situ Cen was a trustworthy person, so he borrowed 500 taels of silver from Jia Cong on the spot to thank the bandit who made food for him.The minion happily picked it up and made a salute.Situ Cen looked at him without blinking and said: "Bandits are not easy to do, you might as well start a small business with money, so that you can find a wife and start a family in the future."

Minoru said casually: "Business is a lot of trouble. You have to deal with all kinds of government servants, and there are so many taxes. How can you be a bandit at ease."

Jia Cong read strangely from the side: "Despotic government~~ fiercer than~~ tiger~~ also~~" Situ Cen sighed, turned and left.

Another minion sent the two of them down the mountain, and Jia Cong chatted nonsense with them along the way.Seeing that it was almost at the bottom of the mountain, Jia Cong asked casually: "You Mopan Mountain is not high, aren't you afraid of officers and soldiers?"

Minoru said: "Although it's not high, it's dangerous. Besides, there are no officers and soldiers in the vicinity. We moved here not long ago, and it's not as simple as the cottage? We only came when the man surnamed Tian from Fuping County came. "

Jia Cong nodded: "Your majesty is very clever. Do you want to pay protection fee to County Magistrate Tian?"

Minoru smiled and said, "Naturally. It's just that he doesn't take much money, and he doesn't care about anything. Otherwise, why would we bother to move here?"

Jia Cong said: "As the saying goes, things of a kind gather together and people are divided into groups. When one of the parents is a bandit, the good people flee quickly, and the bandits gather quickly."

Minoru said: "It's not easy to eat our bowl of rice. It's windy and rainy. If you meet a powerful bodyguard, you won't be busy for nothing, and you have to lose a few brothers."

Jia Cong said, "Let me ask, what did you do before doing this?"

Minor said: "I was a soldier, and I was kicked out by my superiors. I have no other skills. I am a soldier, so I can't go home. If I go home, I will become a deserter. I have to be a bandit."

Situ Cen asked, "What did you do? Why did you get kicked by your superiors?"

Minor said: "I have no money to give gifts, so I was kicked."

Jia Cong hurriedly said: "Don't pay attention to this guy, he's just a flower in a greenhouse, he doesn't know anything." Nai squinted at Situ Cen, "Do you know that you don't have enough money? Kick off some soldiers, and the leaders will be much more for nothing." Military pay. Why don’t military households go home?” He clapped his hands and said, “It’s called a policy at the top and a countermeasure at the bottom. Depending on how the King of Shu plans, someone will keep him a secret.”

Situ Cen frowned like a twist: "How can it be watertight? Who has the ability to cover the mouths of so many soldiers."

"Of course it's Brother Kong Fang." Jia Cong said, "Everyone has a share! Only with common interests can everyone work together to hide the same secret." Situ Cen turned his head and remained silent.

Arriving at the foot of the mountain in a blink of an eye, Jia Cong waved goodbye to the minions.Nai glanced at Situ Cen: "Hey, don't be sullen while walking, be careful not to fall."

Situ Cen let out a long sigh: "I only think that the Western countries are in chaos, and I don't think Shu is also in chaos."

Jia Cong comforted and said: "Your father is not good at governing the country. These are all the Supreme Emperor... Well, it is not good to blame the Supreme Emperor. It should be left by the late Emperor when he was in power." He thought for a moment and said, "I did it when I was young. Many seemingly unusual things were actually taught by my husband. When I grew up, I gradually became sensible, and when I thought back to my childhood, I realized that it was completely wrong.”

Jia Cong impressed Xian Wang and others when he was young, and Situ Cen knew it since he was a child.Hearing this, he couldn't help being curious: "Why is it wrong?"

Jia Cong looked around at Huizi and pointed his horsewhip at the big rock in front of him: "Sit and talk." Situ Cen nodded.

Then they jumped off their horses and sat side by side on the stone.Jia Cong looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, trying to make a sad and bright expression. "When I was young, I once regarded a gentleman as a white-eyed wolf. That man's name is Jia Hua, have you heard of it?"

Situ Cen smiled and said, "But the one that Wang Ziteng killed? I've heard of some, but not all of them."

"I'll tell you in detail." Jia Cong then narrated Jia Yucun's history, conduct, and how he poured the reincarnation of the grains all over him from beginning to end.Situ Cen listened with gusto.Finally Jia Cong said, "Ah Cen, in your opinion, what's wrong with my house, and what's wrong with yours?"

Situ Cen thought for a while: "Your second uncle, Jia Zheng, has no eyesight and no knowledge of people. What does my family... have anything to do with my family?"

Jia Cong gave him a sideways glance: "You are the emperor's grandson! Your family opened the imperial court. My family's fault is that my second uncle doesn't know people. What about your family? Jia Yucun was dismissed for being greedy and cruel. Did the family just give the demobilization staff casually?"

Situ Cen called Qu: "Is that what your second uncle planned for him?"

Jia Cong clapped his hands: "Here again! Who is my second uncle? He didn't pass the imperial examination, and because of Lao Tzu's honor, he got mixed up with a fifth-rank member of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang. And you know Jia Zheng's character and ability, right? He is a great Confucian, second is not the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, third is not the elder of the court, fourth is not the son of the phoenix, and fifth is not the grandson of the phoenix. How can he find a fourth-rank official like Fu Yin for someone, or a wealthy place in the south of the Yangtze River like Ying Tianfu? Know what is the scariest thing?" He paused, then said softly, "It's very easy for him to find this job for Jia Hua." Situ Cen shook his head.Jia Cong added, "What's even more frightening is that, as a child of the Situ family, you, Cen, don't think there's anything wrong with this matter."

Situ Cen smiled wryly and said, "I don't know what's wrong with this matter? But it's too much to underestimate."

Jia Cong twitched the corners of his mouth: "Habits become natural. It's like a general eating empty salary, a county magistrate raising taxes, and bandits kidnapping tickets. It's like a good daughter of the people must be given to the prince."

Situ Cen frowned and said, "My brother has no choice but to do that. He is the son, how many troubles will be caused if the son has no son?"

Jia Cong then snapped his fingers: "First of all, it's not appropriate to pass the throne to your son. If he doesn't have a daughter, are you willing to give him your own son? Although adoption sounds a little face-saving. Bloodlines and relationships are born in nature. .Secondly, can the scholar's daughter really be able to have a son? What if she can't? Wouldn't it ruin her whole life?"

Situ Cen said: "The position of side concubine is only second to Shizi concubine."

Jia Cong gave him a look of contempt: "Who gave you the confidence to make you think that all women in the country are willing to be your brother's concubine? Can you ask your wife if she is willing to be the concubine?"

Situ Cen immediately said: "She is different from others."

"No!" Jia Cong said, "She is the same as most official women and civilian women. She is unwilling to go deep into the palace walls, be ruled by rules, and have no freedom in food and daily life. There are very few official women and civilian women who are willing to enter the palace. Otherwise, Why did those women of the Supreme Emperor get married in the blink of an eye?"

Situ Cen raised his eyebrows: "Huh? Didn't you send him to be a nun?"

Jia Cong spread his hands: "In less than two months, we are all married! There is no one who is willing to be a widow for the Supreme Emperor."

Situ Cen immediately said, "Didn't it be robbed by thieves?"

Jia Cong curled his lips: "So do you believe the fake official words? Because you can't use your original identity when you marry, you have to say you are a widow, so most of them marry merchants. Fortunately, all of them have outstanding looks, and they all marry well."

Situ Cen frowned: "Who did this?"

"The empress dowager," Jia Cong said, "marry all the unborn concubines in exchange for dowry, so that they can support the palace. The empress dowager is poor! There are so many eunuchs in the palace, and the expenses are so high, until they sold out all the concubines of the empress dowager." Only women began to sell titles. However, those women married voluntarily. The Empress Dowager said that she could not marry, and she was cultivating Taoism while waiting for the Emperor Dongshun to return. However, there were no eggs, and there was no one."

Situ Cen took a few deep breaths.After a while, he sighed: "That's right. There are three thousand beauties in the palace, how many can the emperor's rain and dew touch?"

Jia Cong said: "Therefore, even if the old scholar's daughter is more talented than Xie Lingjiang and Maung Sai Yang Yuhuan, she may not be willing to enter the Shizi's mansion to compete with a group of women for husbands. Humans love their children like beasts love their cubs, it is nature No wonder people want to run away. Your brother is simply robbing people's daughters. He can bully others, why can't Tian County magistrate? The prince and Tian County magistrate are fighting for power, and the bandits are fighting for force. The root of power is also force. With money, money can lead to magic. Bandit logic prevails, can Shu still be a good country?"

Situ Cen smiled wryly, "These things..." He couldn't go on talking for a long time.

"At any rate, you can persuade me that this is his country." Jia Cong said seriously, "It's different now. People can leave if they can't survive in Shu Kingdom! Don't you think Mr. Shi just left?"

Situ Cen thought for a long time, and asked: "I heard from the bandits that day that Lord Wang Ziteng has managed the two provinces in a very peaceful way?"

Jia Cong nodded: "Uncle Wang, there is no such thing as County Magistrate Tian."

"How did he get rid of these people? Isn't he also a military commander?"

Jia Cong chuckled: "That's right. But he understands two things: real prosperity is true prosperity through common prosperity; it is better to raise chickens that lay golden eggs than to kill chickens for eggs." Before Situ Cen asked, he explained, "Actually The former county magistrate of Fuping County, Mr. Shi, would raise chickens with golden eggs. The people became rich, and he slowly collected taxes. One egg shell was collected for one egg, and ten thousand egg shells would be a big deal. Wang Ziteng He used Hong Kong's sea trade to attract merchants from all over the country to do business. He did not collect exorbitant taxes. Open a factory. Factories need people the most. Wherever bandits disturb the people, workers will not go to work there, but go elsewhere. Anyway, the errands and salaries are similar. Can the factory owners not be in a hurry? The protection fees paid by the bandits are still It’s less than a fraction of the factory’s profit! That’s why officials in Guangdong and Guangxi hate bandits the most. When Wang Ziteng was carrying out the purge, all the bandits from Guangdong and Guangxi moved to Jiangxi—no one cares there.”

Situ Cen hummed, "The King of Yan is suppressing bandits in Jiangxi, and he has already forced some to come to Shu."

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Your Shu country has such a knowledgeable bandit official as Mr. Tian, ​​don't want to become the second Jiangxi."

Situ Cen glanced at him: "Why don't you say these things to me."

Jia Cong spread his hands: "I'm not sure whether he will listen, after all, he also raped, robbed, min, and women. Apart from Minnv, he also forcibly robbed others. Anyway, he is the one who benefits, You may not be willing to listen to what I say. Besides," he said with a smile, "you were the one who was kidnapped by the bandits...you have the most experience. These things are like dominoes. If the prince didn't rob someone else's girl, Mr. Shi You won't run away, Mr. Tian won't do harm to one side, and you won't fall into the bandit's den. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you something. I stopped Zhou Hu and didn't let him go to Chengdu to transfer any soldiers. "

Jia Cong said it in one breath.Situ Cen was still pondering over his words, and was shocked at the end: "What?!"

Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "I've never seen you so confused! You just suffered a loss and your scars are still not healed. He is the leader of your guards, you sent him away, in case you show something to let the bandits Can you see the clues? You will die when you die. I am afraid you will not survive if you are full of guards. The son of a daughter does not sit in the hall! Ah Cen, you really don’t know the importance as always~~”

Situ Cen said anxiously: "How can I show my feet!"

"That's hard to say. After all, we, Cen, are a lone ranger who single-handedly fought against invincible opponents in the West! If no one secretly cleans up the mess for you, you will be worth 50 taels immediately."

As soon as the words were finished, several of Situ Cen's guards appeared from nowhere one after another, and Zhou Hu knelt down in front of him to plead guilty.What else could Situ Cen do?He didn't have time to lose his temper, so he just ordered him to "dispatch troops quickly, and don't leave the remnants of the Fang family."Zhou Hu left immediately.Situ Cen turned his head to see that Jia Cong was about to complain, but Jia Cong rushed to say, "Don't nag me! Let's go back to Chengdu to see your old lady and see if they agree with you or me."

Situ Cen stumbled: "Then there's no need to ask!"

Jia Cong snapped his fingers: "Isn't this the end!"

Situ Cen was helpless, and sighed: "I hope nothing will happen."

"As long as you don't show any flaws, there will be no variables."

Situ Cen was inexplicably anxious, and looked up at Mopan Mountain for half a day.Several guards came and asked him to mount.Situ Cen stood up and suddenly remembered something: "Where is my wife?"

"Send it back to Chengdu!"

"What other story did you say she escaped from danger that day?"

Jia Cong chuckled: "Your daughter-in-law is really interesting. When our bodyguard Liu arrived, she had already been sent to an outhouse of Tian County Magistrate. Guess how she procrastinated?" Situ Cen gave him a white look. .Jia Cong clapped her hands and said, "She told the person sent by Tian County Magistrate in a rough voice that she can't see the master unkempt, she has to freshen up first." Nai paused.Situ Cen gave him another look.Jia Cong clapped her hands again, "I also asked for a knife and a hot towel for her. She needs to shave! He also asked for two big fluffy steamed buns. She needs them urgently."

Situ Cen understood after a little thought, and couldn't straighten up from laughing.Several guards also laughed.This joke made Situ Cen feel much happier, so he got on his horse and said, "Let's go! Go back to Chengdu."

"Hey, don't you clean up Fuping County?"

Situ Cen rolled his eyes at him again: "How many people do I have? Why don't you go back and find me to send troops?" Nai hummed, "Let Magistrate Tian see the power and force."

"Remember to remind me to rectify the administration of officials."

"I know, I know! There is also Guangkai Factory, right?"

"That's right! Ah Cen really is a glass man with a crystal heart. To open a factory, there must be free trade. You read the book in Dajiala, right?"

"I've seen it... My old man is easy to coax, my brother is afraid that it will take some talking."

"Oh, then please~~"
