The Agricultural Tycoon of the Red House

Seeing this, Xing'er urged the coachman to drive out of the mud pit more vigorously.

The coachman roared loudly, and slapped the horse's butt with his whip.The horse neighed and ran forward with all its strength, and the carriage stuck in the mud swayed, and finally the horse stood still, and the car body sank there intact.Xing'er and the three of them took off their shoes, rolled up their robes and rolled up their sleeves, shouting one, two, three, and pushed them outward together with the driver.

The sound of horseshoes was sounding, and Jia Lian stood by the side of the road, only looking at Xing'er and the others.

"Woo--" After yelling, I heard someone shouting from the road behind, "What's the situation with the people in front, why are you blocking the way?"

When Xing'er heard this, he hurried out of the mud pit and saw two luxury carriages approaching, surrounded by a dozen young men on horseback.Xing'er guessed that the identity of this person was not simple, so he hurriedly approached with a smile, saluted and apologized, and explained the reason.

"So that's the case, I'll tell my master right now." After hearing this, the young servant turned his head and got into the car, lifted the curtain and poked his head in to mutter a few words.

Xing'er could vaguely hear him being called "Prince", since he is a member of the royal family, the Second Master Lian of his family must know him.Xing'er hurried to Jia Lian and asked, "Master, what a coincidence, I heard that there is a prince in the car, would you like to say hello?"

"Push the carriage up quickly."

Jia Lian glanced at Xing'er meaningfully, signaling him not to meddle in his own business.

Jia Lian turned to observe the environment around the road, his eyes fixed on the withered grass half as tall as a person in the roadside ditch.Jia Lian asked someone to bring two sickles from the back of the car, handed one to Xing'er, and then took him to the side of the road to cut dry grass, and made two bundles in a short while.Jia Lian asked Xing'er to put the hard hay under the wheels.

Over there, Beijing Jing Wang Shui Rong was still waiting in the car, he thought Jia Lian would come to see him and ask for help.After waiting for a while, he opened the curtain a crack, but saw Jia Lian crawling out of the ditch by the roadside, carrying a bundle of grass.Surprised by Shui Rong, he made some calculations in his mind before reacting and calling for help.But it was too late for him to send someone again, and the carriage over there had already been pushed out of the mud pit.

Several servants cheered unceasingly, wiped the wet mud from their legs, boarded their shoes, and invited their Second Master Lian into the car.

Jia Lian glanced at the bewildered attendants sent by the prince from the corner of his eye, laughed in his heart, and boarded the carriage with Xing'er's support.

Before getting into the car, Xing'er saw those people standing there in a daze, so he smiled and said to them: "Just learn from us and spread some grass on top, so we can get over it!"

After finishing speaking, the coachman swung his whip, and the carriage galloped away.

The guards froze in place, murmured dryly, and went to the prince for advice.

"My lord, before the younger ones can make a move, they have already pushed the car on the road and left. What do you think?"

King Beijing poked his head out of the car, with a gloomy expression on his face, he had no idea that the servant next to Jia Lian was deaf, or that his entourage just called the word "Prince" too lightly up?

King Bei Jing sighed, and instead told someone to inform the person in the carriage behind, telling him not to follow, but to rest somewhere else first.

Jia Zheng hurriedly got out of the car and came over in a panic to bid farewell to King Beijing.

"Your nephew, your temperament is indeed a bit weird. Now things have not worked out, and I will go to see him again, so you should not show up, go back first." King Beijing finished speaking gently, and smiled kindly at Jia She With a smile, he put down the curtain and told the coachman to chase Jia Lian quickly.

"Can it go any faster?" Jia Lian, who was sitting in the car, felt numb on his bumpy face.

"Master, this is already the fastest. No matter how fast the car stops, it will easily go on a rampage." The driver shouted outside.

Jia Lian let out a "hmm" and closed her eyes without saying a word.

When he was swaying in a daze, Jia Lian heard more chaotic hoofbeats, and then his carriage came to a sudden brake, but luckily he stabilized it in time.

But Xing'er fell down and sat down, and then tried to support Jia Lian.He scratched his head guiltily and smiled, busy apologizing to Second Master Lian.

The carriage stopped.

The coachman saw that it was the carriage he met in the mud pit before, so he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he came to ask Xinger's idea.Xing'er asked Jia Lian.

Jia Lian raised her eyebrows: "Is the road not wide enough? Just drive past them."

The coachman cheerfully got the order, and immediately turned his horse's head and passed by King Jingjing's car.

Seeing this, King Beijing in the car hurriedly lifted the curtain and stood up, shouting: "Lord Jia, stay a while!"

Fearing that Jia Lian would not be able to hear him, the guards of the King of Beijing on horseback ran forward first, caught up with Jia Lian's carriage, and shouted his identity as the prince.

Xing'er sighed: "It turned out to be the King of Beijing Jing, Lord, do you see this?"

Now that he has revealed his identity unscrupulously, it is not appropriate not to get out of the car.

Jia Lian got out of the car, brushed off his robe, and made a shallow salute to King Beijing.Although the rank of marquis is not as high as that of the county king, Jia Lian's real power in the court is much greater than that of the king of Beijing.Now the King of Beijing just came to the throne, and because of being taken care of by the eldest prince, he got the actual position of a sixth-rank official.In terms of overall strength and favorability, the King of Beijing is definitely not as good as Jia Lian.

In terms of etiquette, Jia Lian gave him a slight nod and bowed his hands.If Jia Lian was not happy for a while, he really didn't want to greet him, the king with a different surname. The king of Beijing Jing couldn't do anything other than scold him behind his back in anger.

"Master Jia, you are being polite. I didn't expect to meet you here by such a coincidence. I just saw you fell into the mud on the way, and I looked familiar. I asked the guards to help. I don't want you to come up with a good way. It didn't help me at all." Shui Rong smiled politely, with a gentle and friendly look on his face, which was very pleasing.

Jia Lian also smiled and said, "Thank you very much!"

Shui Rong hurriedly waved his hands, "It didn't help much, and asking people to chase you was just to say hello to Mr. Jia. I just inherited the title, and there are still many things I don't understand in the court. Please take care of Mr. Jia in the future." It is."

"My lord, you are being polite. In terms of rank, you are above me. How can a subordinate official have the ability to take care of you." Jia Lian said.

"Mr. Jia, please don't be too polite. It's time for dinner, and I happened to have a banquet at the Zhuangyuan Building. It just so happened that the adults who were traveling with me couldn't go there temporarily. What's the fun of eating alone? I don't know if Mr. Jia is willing to reward you Face?"

"Unfortunately, I have official business, and I am in a hurry to go back and report." Jia Lian smiled lightly and politely.

Shui Rong's heart sank, and he laughed, "Forget it, who doesn't know that Mrs. Jia is so busy in spring and autumn, I understand, I understand! Meeting is fate, so how about we ride back to Beijing together? There is also a talking partner along the way."

Although Jia Lian was not interested, he couldn't always refute Shui Rong's face, and reached out to signal Shui Rong.

Seeing that Jia Lian's hand was rushing towards his carriage, Shui Rong was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether his "please" was just pointing in general or on purpose.But it was not easy for him to turn around and go to sit in his own carriage, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he got into Jia Lian's carriage.

Jia Lian followed closely, and before getting into the car, he made a show for Xing'er.

The master and servant have had a tacit understanding for many years, and Xing'er naturally understands this look.

As soon as the car was driving, it bumped violently, shaking from side to side, and the body of the car vibrated as if it was about to fall apart.

It was the first time for Shui Rong to do such a poor carriage, and after only a few bumps, his butt hurt and the flesh on his face was numb.This car could obviously go slower, but the driver drove the car very fast.The water-soluble body is delicate and expensive, and has always enjoyed luxury and comfort.With this jolt, not only the bones in his body were about to fall apart, but also his stomach was overwhelmed, and he was about to vomit.

The driver is Jia Lian's subordinate, he is a 'guest' at the moment, so it's not easy to tell him anything, and he still wants to make friends with Jia Lian, so he can't make mistakes at will, he can only endure it.

Jia Lian pretended not to see, and asked with a smile, "Which adult did you just invite with the prince?"

"Yes—" Shui Rong made a long sound trembling from the car shock, of course he couldn't say Jia Zheng, so he just blurted out, "Mr. Li."

"Oh." Jia Lian nodded.

Shui Rong suppressed the nausea in his stomach, calmed down for a while, and realized that if he didn't say anything, he would arrive in the capital very quickly according to the speed of the carriage, so he hurriedly said to Jia Lian: "Now that the army squadron is returning to the court, I guess many people will get it." Gratitude. Everyone knows about the lack of money in the treasury, thanks to your previous plan, which helped the emperor and the Ministry of Rites solve a big problem."

Jia Lian raised his eyes to look at Shui Rong: "Your Highness is absurd."

Shui Rong hurriedly cupped his hands to Jia Lian: "When I mentioned this, I remembered my wrong words in the court that day. In fact, that was the purpose of stopping you just now! I have a clear distinction between black and white, and I can't tolerate sand in my eyes. At that time, because I suddenly heard you I thought you were going to make huge profits outside by selling strawberries. I misunderstood Mrs. Jia's character with your indiscriminate words. I was really sorry. I planned to come to the door to apologize in person in the next post. It was a coincidence today. It was God's will. "

"My lord is too polite. Everyone in the court has different political opinions. There is nothing wrong with expressing your own opinions. You don't have to apologize for it." Jia Lian was a little annoyed by King Beijing's words.If he said this in normal times, he might not feel anything, and he might even mistakenly think that King Beijing Jing was just an upright and somewhat impulsive young man.It happened that the mud pit was planned first, and then thinking about his previous upward behavior, Jia Lian was 100% sure that it was his deliberate plan and deliberate action.I don't know who came up with this bitter trick of blackmailing yourself first and then apologizing, it's a bit stupid, especially that mud pit.

Jia Lian knew that the other party had ulterior motives, so no matter how low Shui Rong's figure is now, and no matter how good his attitude is, it's useless to kneel and crawl to salute him.

"Master Jia's deeds in the household department are obvious to all, and everyone knows it well. In fact, your trip to the Northwest last year made more contributions. After the general Zhenbei returned the day before yesterday, he specifically described it to me. The scene of Tudou's ingenious plan to defeat the enemy army is spectacular and exhilarating! I wonder if you have ever heard the fourth prince tell you?"

Jia Lian shook his head.

The king of Beijing Jing seemed to have expected the answer, and immediately described it happily to Jia Lian: "At that time, after the barbarian army entered the winter, the grain and grass were burned, and they starved for several days. After getting the amazing food—potatoes, they decided to intercept our army’s food and grass at night. After the carts brought sprouted potatoes to their hands, the hungry savages were like crazy, and they immediately cooked and ate them. He had a big appetite and ate a lot. As a result, he vomited and had diarrhea soon after, his limbs became weak, and he even fainted. Everyone was powerless to resist. The general Zhenbei took the opportunity to attack at night and won a complete victory. The team returned to the court Afterwards, the four princes and the generals received grand awards for this. However, the main planner of this plan, Mr. Jia, you only got the name of Marquis, but the real rewards such as gold, silver, money, property, etc. are not as good as other young generals. There are many."

After Shui Rong finished speaking, he looked aggrieved, as if he wanted to stand up for Jia Lian.

Jia Lian looked at him, a little speechless.

Seeing Jia Lian's behavior, Shui Rong thought he was moved by it, so he quickly smiled and said, "I am like this, I can distinguish between black and white, and I only talk about justice."

"Recently, I heard that my second uncle was walking around with the prince, did he bother you?" Jia Lian asked suddenly.

Shui Rong nodded: "It's okay, it's not a nuisance." Shui Rong wanted to say that they got along very well, but considering the conflict between Jia Lian and Jia Zheng, he didn't express it directly.However, no matter how quarrelsome their uncles and nephews were, they were still a family behind closed doors.Shui Rong felt that as long as Jia Lian was brought over and stood with Jia Zheng on the side of the eldest prince, this contradiction would be easily reconciled.

"I see."

Jia Lian laughed, no wonder Shui Rong made such serious nonsense about "black and white" and "justice", which turned out to be the same as Jia Zheng's.It's just that this King of Beijing has a better rank, he is much more 'friendly' than Jia Zheng.

Shui Rong moved to Jia Lian's side, and said in a low voice, "I have already discussed with the eldest prince, and I will ask him to seal you up in front of the emperor another day. Regarding the victory in the Northwest, let me tell you about your merits. It should be you, how can you let others take away the reward that you should have."

Jia Lian looked at Shui Rong in surprise. He thought that Shui Rong would say some outrageous things, but he didn't expect that this guy could talk nonsense in the name of "justice" and "holding injustice" in such a serious manner.The reason for the great victory in the Northwest battle was indeed related to the strategy he contributed, but it was those soldiers who were born and died who really threw their heads and blood on the battlefield, and those generals who operated and commanded on the ground.The enemy's habits, adapting measures to local conditions, fighting and dealing with each other... In many aspects, he, who only knows how to farm, doesn't understand at all.He just said a word with his lips, and it was indeed not him who really contributed.Now, Jia Lian won the official title because of the military rations and one-sentence strategy, which is not a loss.

If it is really as Shui Rong said, put the merits of the head on his head, even if the emperor is willing, then thousands of soldiers will not be willing either.

King Jing of Beijing wanted to push him to the top of the storm, so that people would bear hatred.

Rongguo Mansion has been a moth for many years, and he didn't have a good impression in front of the emperor. Now that he can earn a title, it is a blessing for the emperor to think of cutting Rongguo Mansion.If he does not have self-knowledge and concentrates on making things big, and he is younger and more likely to leave an impulsive impression on others, once he attracts the emperor's fear, the favor will definitely be gone forever.

Jia Lian knew in his heart that the reason why he can get the approval of the emperor for these fresh agricultural policies is not entirely because the emperor affirms his talent and learning, but more importantly because he is a "pure technical talent", he does not engage in politics, is modest, Don't rely on favor and pride.

Just imagine that if a minister gives some face, he will go to heaven, take credit for himself, hold power in the court, and form a party for personal gain.How can the emperor with normal brains dare to continue to favor him?

For those emperors who are suspicious and know how to check and balance politics, the last thing he wants to see is the power ministers hindering the government.Now this emperor, who seems to have a casual temperament, is actually well versed in this kind of imperial art. He has been in power for so many years.

How the emperor's temperament is, you can basically guess it by looking at the character of his favorite prime minister.Jia Lian dealt with the emperor based on the temperament of Prime Minister Jing Yingguang.So far the results are pretty good, at least he didn't get annoyed in front of the emperor.

Therefore, for the current Holy Majesty, anyone who has meritorious service overshadowing the Lord will definitely be strangled by him in the bud.

Jia Lian didn't want to be a bud that didn't grow up. What farmers like him like most is the joy of the autumn harvest.What's more, Jia Lian was not a political power because he was an official. He just wanted to spread agricultural technology.The so-called art industry has a specialization. Jia Lian doesn't know much about these political things, but he knows the truth that if he touches it, he will die, so he doesn't want to play yet.

No one should try to drag him into the water, not King Jing and the First Prince, not even the Fourth Prince.

The water-soluble buttocks of the bumpy carriage hurt, he waited anxiously for a long while, thinking that Jia Lian would hold his hand gratefully, thanking him for asking for credit for him and acknowledging his injustice.But the reality is that Jia Lian's reaction was flat, his face was indifferent, his eyes were looking straight ahead, he didn't know what to look at, as if he was in a daze.

King Bei Jing couldn't wait any longer, he put one hand under his buttocks to save his buttocks from hurting, and waved the other hand in front of Jia Lian's eyes.

The speed of the carriage suddenly slowed down, and the driver outside shouted: "We are going into the city."

Jia Lian blinked, then turned to look at King Beijing, "What?"

Shui Rong looked surprised, and asked helplessly: "Lord Jia, you didn't hear me just now, did you?"

"Uh..." Jia Lian cupped his hands, "Just now I was thinking about how to implement potato planting in various villages and counties, and I was distracted for a while, please forgive me, my lord."

Shui Rong frowned slightly, with a flash of annoyance.He can't forgive!But so what.

Jia Lian got out of the carriage first, Shui Rong was stunned, and then also got out of the carriage.

"My lord, I'm in Beijing, let's leave now." Jia Lian saw that Shui Rong still wanted to force her to stay, and then said with a smile, "You have to go this way to the Zhuangyuan building, and you have to go this way to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Shui Rong gritted his teeth, watched Jia Lian get into the car again, turned around and left bitterly.

The water dissolves to the Zhuangyuan building.

In the private room of Tianzi No. [-] room, the person sitting on the seat immediately stood up when he saw him, and was disappointed when he found that there was no one following Shui Rong.

Shui Rong bowed and apologized, and explained the reason helplessly, but was still treated by the eldest prince with a look of "disadvantage".

……

Jia Lian's carriage crossed the street, turned around and returned to Rongfu.

Jia She happily ran over to make fun of it, and said to Jia Lian, "You will be back soon. There is a commotion in the second room, and it is very fun."

Jia Lian: "What?"

"A few days ago, your second aunt sent away a maid named Qingwen who was next to Baoyu, and she died only a few days ago. But it was also evil. Today, a hibiscus grew in the old lady's garden, facing Baoyu's room. At this time, the grass is only sprouting green shoots, and suddenly a hibiscus tree so tall grows, do you think it is evil?" Jia She compared the height.

This height...

Jia Lian suddenly remembered that the hibiscus he had pulled out in Jia Mu's courtyard before seemed to be about the same height as Jia She.

Jia She continued: "You, Sheyue and others sent this maid out of the house together. Later, the old lady left everyone behind and brought them back. She said that the old man is used to serving her. Baoyu is reluctant, and she is even more reluctant."

Jia Lian narrowed her eyes: "Later, the old lady hired four more maids for Baoyu, and they even named them Musk Moon or something like that. Are they the same people as before?"

Jia She nodded, "It's the original person! Be surprised, it's just to fool us, especially you!"

Jia Lian thought about it, and he did not see these maids in Baoyu's room after that. First, he was too busy to pay attention to them, and second, Baoyu and the others must have deliberately avoided him and kept them secret.After all, Baoyu lives with Jiamu, and the people around Jiamu have this kind of tone.

"You and your wife know about this?" Jia Lian asked again.

Jia She was embarrassed, moved his eyeballs, "I don't know."

Jia Lian looked at him again.

"Oh, your stepmother saw it by chance a few days ago, and was threatened and ordered by the old lady, but she dared not say anything. We were all forced. The old lady even said death for her precious grandson. What can we do? " Jia She said helplessly.

Jia Lian laughed, "I'm not angry."

He knew that Jia She was filial and afraid of Jia Mu, and Mrs. Xing had always been afraid of Jia Mu, so it was nothing to hide it from him for this reason.For this concealment, Jia Lian felt very relieved. It seemed that everyone in the family was afraid of him, even Jia's mother.This is a good sign, if there is fear, it means that his opinions and attitudes have a great influence in this family, and they are afraid.

"Don't worry about it, old lady, just pamper Baoyu. No, even if you don't take action, something will happen. I will continue to say that Baoyu went to visit Qingwen before she died. Unfortunately, I even wrote a poem to commemorate her. Later that poem was taken away by Tanchun, and your younger sister Lin happened to be there that day, so she thought it was your third younger sister’s poem, so she said it casually and changed it. Later Baoyu heard that he kept the poem like a treasure, and said that the dead Qingwen was the reincarnation of the hibiscus flower. Today he suddenly saw the hibiscus tree in the courtyard, and cried. He insisted that Qingwen came back and made trouble. After a while, the jade was dropped."

"Oh, throwing jade again." Jia Lian sneered.

"It is inevitable that this matter will be tossed up to the old lady. After asking the reason, she coaxed Baoyu and scolded your second aunt. But your second aunt felt wronged and rummaged about Qingwen's previous crimes. Baoyu was stunned for a while. , fainted. At this moment, the whole family is surrounded by him, looking for a doctor." Jia She said.

"It's really lively." Jia Lian sighed, said goodbye to Jia Amnesty, and went back to change clothes.

Jia Amnesty twirled his beard excitedly, and sent his maid to inquire about Baoyu again.In the past two years, he has read too many story books, so he decided to write a story.It's just that this story is easy to read, but difficult to write. These days, he feels more and more exhausted. Baoyu's incident is so interesting that he suddenly has a new idea.

When Jia Lian went back to her room, she found that Jingxin was not there, and guessed that her new daughter-in-law had to accompany the old lady to see Baoyu.After asking the maid, it was indeed so.

After Jia Lian quickly changed his clothes, he went straight to Jia's mother's courtyard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Jia Lian looked at the place where he had pulled out the hibiscus before. As expected, another hibiscus of the same height was still there.

This is so fresh, such an unscientific fantasy event actually happened in the Red Mansion.

Jia Lian walked up to Furong excitedly, his eyes glowing, and he poked Miaozi with his hand.

There can actually be a few more hibiscus seedlings that grow so quickly.
