Chapter 126 A girl from one family is begging for help from hundreds of families!
Using both hard and soft tactics, he persuaded the Supreme Emperor and Emperor Baode, and basically set the tone for overseas development. Jia Lian left the trivial matters related to the Jia family to Mr. Pardon and Mr. Zheng.
It's not that he trusts these two people so much, it's that these details have nothing to do with the overall situation. Besides, it's still in the preparatory stage. Even if something goes wrong, Jia Lian still has enough time and room to correct it.
As a test for these two men, Jia Lian also wanted to see if the two brothers would be useful in his own timeline.
The shop on Ningrong Street is ready. Jia Lian gave instructions before entering the government yesterday, and the sign for the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce's office in Beijing has been erected early this morning.
As soon as everyone who was discussing the matter in the main hall of Longshou Palace left the palace today, it didn't take long for various people to come to buy books produced by the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce and previous issues of "Nanyang Maritime Affairs". The best-selling one was undoubtedly "The Case of the Emperor's Table Today"
The same "World Map" on the Internet!
As the news spread, there was a long queue outside the store of Donghai Chamber of Commerce in the afternoon. This was because the shopkeeper in charge discovered the situation early and implemented a purchase restriction policy, otherwise the goods would have been sold out long ago.
Almost everyone who got the "World Map" lamented the vastness of the world and the smallness of the Central Plains at first sight, and then all those who enthusiastically discussed the enfeoffment strategy were full of thoughts about Jia (Ao)zhou in the middle of the ocean.
Desire to complain.
Good guy! The man in Rongguo Mansion has even named the place. Such a large piece of land is even wider than the Central Plains. Can your Jia family swallow it? You are not afraid of being choked to death!
However, according to the map annotations of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce, a large area in the center of Najiazhou is desert or even desert. Basically, only a large "O"-shaped edge of the coast and the sea area are good mountains and good land suitable for living and development.
But most of this place is still borderless. Why do you, the Jia family, have so much virtue? Just because you discovered these places first?
We admit that the Jia family has indeed done a great job in providing these information and books, but there is no need to exaggerate the reward.
However, as Jia Lian's words in the Dragon Head Palace were spread, "There are only more than 20,000 Castilian people, it only takes one of my personal guards to charge!" was spread, and public opinion changed again.
To be able to say such words in front of the two majesties in the Dragon Head Palace, there is no doubt about its authenticity. At least General Jia really has this confidence.
And as time went by, Jia Lian massacred Jiangnan, issued bounties for annihilation and other cruel deeds began to ferment, and gradually no one had any objections to Jia Lian's intention to occupy Jiazhou.
It's not your own land. You can just complain a few words, but do you really want to provoke such a vicious person for this?
…
At the same time, countless noble families, noble families, and even various clan royal families have almost crossed the threshold of the Jia family.
This is because Jia Yuanchun, the eldest daughter of this generation in Rongguo Mansion, is over fifteen years old and has not yet been married. It is said that General Jia loves his younger sister very much and is extremely picky about the choice of his sister-in-law.
However, it is also appropriate to be picky. Anyone with such capital will be picky about his choice of brother-in-law.
Jia Yuanchun's fate in this life is undoubtedly excellent. From her grandmother Shi's down, her parents and brothers all regard her as a treasure. Even though Jia Lian is at odds with his mother Wang, he has never been blushing towards her, even more so than his mother Wang.
Yuanchun's own biological brother Jia Zhu was even better friends.
No one in Rongguo Mansion had ever thought of sending her to "that shady place", and she had naturally lived a smooth life in these years.
But as she got older, Yuanchun still had some girlish worries. The old lady at home and the Wang family also began to take her to socialize with the ladies of various powerful families. From time to time, she would also bring one or two who were handsome, majestic, or talented in literature.
The aristocratic family members let her watch each other behind the scenes or in the crowd.
Moreover, with the "rise" of Jia Lian, Yuanchun has now fallen into a situation where a family of women wants to beg for help. Not to mention Yuanchun, even the well-informed old lady Shi is a little dazzled.
At noon, Jia Lian and Ying Chun were having dinner at Rongqing Hall, but the old lady was nagging her, which was clearly a complaint but actually a show off.
"Now that's good, a girl from one family will beg for help from hundreds of families! No matter which family she agrees to, she will offend many other relatives."
Although Qin Keqing was not as sweet and sweet as Wang Xifeng in front of the old lady, because of his status as Princess Yongji, even the occasional flattery to the old lady was very useful.
"That's all thanks to my ancestors for your hard work in raising me since childhood. If my little Zhong'er wasn't too young, my grandson-in-law would have had the courage to think about her mother's family."
Qin Zhongnai was the son of Qin Ye, who was one year younger than Baoyu. When he was mentioned, it was naturally a joke to praise Yuanchun.
When the old lady heard Qin Keqing's words, her smile became even brighter, but she didn't expect Jia Lian to suddenly say something strange!
"My family, Yuanchun, is naturally very good. I'm afraid there are not many men in the world who can match my sister. You can choose Yuanchun, but when we choose a son-in-law, we don't care about his family background, but only about his character. Anyway, there is no such thing."
People from better backgrounds than ours!"
"You are telling lies, but you can't help but look at your family background. Is it possible that Yuanchun will marry her and lead a miserable life?"
"Old ancestor, how can the dowry in the family and me as the elder brother make Sister Yuanchun's life worse in the future? I want to say something else, for those families who like to let their daughters-in-law stand by some unreasonable rules, just
There is no need to think about my daughter from the Jia family. My daughter is not here to be chastised by others when she gets married. If there is a shortage of people to take care of her, our family will marry a few more servants. But the evil habits that perpetuate the daughter's family are absolutely unacceptable.
Don’t let it fall on my noble daughter of the Jia family!”
The straightforward words made Qin Keqing, Yuan Chun and several maids of about the same age shine in their eyes. As for the other Sanchun and Daiyu, the eldest Yingchun was only eight years old. He was still at an ignorant age, so there was nothing special about him.
.
Although the old lady felt relieved, how could she really let Jia Lian spread such words that were contrary to secular rules?
"Nonsense! We can choose ourselves like this, but how can we say this to others? Then how can other girls from the Jia family in Shenjing find their husbands?"
Um...the old lady is right, you can't patronize your own pleasure.
"Okay! Then my grandson, don't talk too much. Grandpa, you just know what you are doing."
At this time, a cry of cubs suddenly sounded in the backyard of Rongqing Hall.
"Oh, it's Xiangxiang. Sister, let's go and take a look, so we don't get into any trouble again."
The little girl Xichun, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly made a sound. Yuan Chun, Daiyu and Xiao Linyong cheered and went straight to the place where the little beast was calling in the backyard.
Seeing Jia Lian in a daze, Qin Keqing couldn't help but let out a "puff" and said with a slightly envious smile:
"The three earth dragon eggs you gave me finally hatched out last month. My sisters love them so much that they can't wait to hold them every day!"
Three updates!
