Over at Ningguo Mansion, Jia Jing built a Taoist temple in the backyard of Ningguo since Qin Keqing's identity was exposed and he handed over the last manpower from the former prince Yang Jun, Qin Keqing's biological father, to Jia Lian.
All day long, without going out or taking any steps, he just sat there in the contemplation and meditated on the way of refining the gods in order to seek immortality.
Jia Jing really had some talent. He studied and cultivated his energy. He was very energetic when he passed the Jinshi examination, and he also took advantage of the situation to make breakthroughs and developed a "literary courage". He was also a figure highly regarded by the Confucian predecessors at that time.
It's a pity that when the former prince Yang Jun rebelled, I don't know whether he participated in the battle or had his faith broken, but his literary courage was actually cracked!
As a result, Jia Jing's path of Confucianism came to an end. From then on, he began to focus on the path of cultivating the gods.
In his words, civil and martial arts have different paths, and he cannot just become a "vulgar martial artist" that made his former friends laugh at him.
Three months ago, Jia Lian went to see him and found that this old man had actually perfected his spiritual skills and started raising weapons!
In terms of qualifications, Jia Jing may be the first person in the Shenjing Jia family since Jia Daishan, far ahead of Jia She who has been unable to break through the innate cliff.
It's a pity that Jia Jing is already over sixty years old and has lost his youth. His Confucian cultivation path at that time was not focused on "cultivation", so his body had already begun to decline.
Jing, Qi and Shen are a trinity. When one dimension starts to decline, it will inevitably affect other attributes. Jia Jing obviously has no chance to climb to the peak of the way of refining gods!
It can be said that time is also destiny, and the end is not determined by people...
The hereditary titles of the founding of the Daqing Dynasty were inherited from generation to generation.
For those who have extremely high merits and the emperor allows them to be hereditary, although their lintels may not fall, their titles will still have to be reduced. Unless future generations strive for success and achieve great achievements, otherwise after five generations, the remaining traces of their ancestors will be exhausted, and they will eventually die.
The doorway needs to be changed.
For example, in the Jia family, although Jia Zhen only holds the title of third-grade mighty general, she still lives in the palace of the Duke!
Originally, according to the previous instructions, when a title was reduced or reduced, all other specifications should be reduced according to etiquette. Otherwise, it would be trespassing, which is a grave sin.
However, thanks to the divine grace of Emperor Taizu Gao and the great merits of the Spyker inheritance, although he has to be downgraded, he can keep his family status intact.
Even if he is only a third grade noble, he can still maintain the lintel of the Duke of the country. With this family background, compared with the ordinary third grade noble, Jia Zhen's status is many times higher.
With such a foundation, if Jia Zhen is willing to be cruel and stay in the land of Jiubian for three to five years, she might be able to convert her third-grade general rank into a bogeyman and continue the wealth of Ningguo Mansion for at least a few years.
generation
It's just that although Jia Zhen is only a third-rank general, she has the foundation of the Duke's palace, and her status is not inferior to that of ordinary princes. She is also in her prime, and she still has at least several decades of wealth to enjoy.
And even if the next generation is passed on to another generation, there will still be wealth and wealth for tens or even hundreds of years, so how can he feel even the slightest sense of crisis?
Therefore, he still enjoys the blessings and benefits every day, and he is arrogant. If everyone in the house displeases him, he will beat, scold and punish him at will, even his only biological son Jia Rong!
However, Jia Jing has not been practicing in the Taoist temple outside Shenjing City in recent years. Instead, he has stayed in the backyard of Ningguo Mansion, which has brought some changes to Ningguo Mansion. At least with him here, Jia Zhen will eventually restrain himself.
I dare not really let myself go, and I have never "turned Ningguo Mansion over".
You must know that the tradition of beating sons in Ningguo Mansion is the same. Just look at Jia Rong's life and you can imagine Jia Zhen's childhood situation. Although Jia Jing is no longer a director, he is in the backyard of Ningguo Mansion.
Jane really has a lot of worries.
Even when beating Jia Rong, he had to carefully consider his move. Most of the time he would move to the front yard to avoid making too much noise and disturb the practice of "Jing Taiye".
Under such circumstances, Jia Lian's strong push for ethnic studies reform saved Jia Rong to a great extent. According to the ethnic studies, boys over twelve years old must live in school, excluding winter and summer vacations for one month each. Jia Rong stood in front of Jia Zhen.
The time spent spinning is greatly reduced, and naturally the time spent being beaten and trained is also greatly reduced.
In fact, Jia Rong's life in clan studies was not too easy. Although he had good martial arts qualifications, he was still considered a spoiled child.
This is also related to Jia Jing's disdain for warriors. However, Jia Rong has no talent in refining gods or reading. Even Jia Rong is seventeen or eighteen years old and has not laid a foundation for extraordinary practice.
After arriving at clan school, he naturally belonged to the bottom group. Basically every time he was punished by copying books or doing extra exercises in class, Jia Rong was the one responsible.
Originally, Jia Zhen showed such awareness of current affairs that Jia Lian couldn't see it and was too lazy to find a way to deal with him. But this time, Jia Zhen actually came to the door with several clan elders. It would be impossible if he didn't give him a good beating.
Already.
Jia Lian finished his lunch at Rongqing Hall and when he returned to Rongxi Hall, he sent a message to Jia Zhen, inviting him to come over.
After all, he is the head of his family, so he still has to give some basic face.
Soon, Jia Zhen came in a hurry, and as soon as she entered the gate of Rongxi Hall from a distance, she forced a smile to Jia Lian who was standing above her.
"Brother Lian actually remembered that I am here today, but if you have anything to do, just say, brother, I will do anything you can!"
Ever since she learned that Jia Lian had given away hundreds of millions of acres of land in Luzon to the founding fathers who followed him, but had not left a penny for the family, Jia Zhen felt like a hundred claws were scratching her heart.
Generally speaking, the whole body feels uncomfortable.
A few days ago, he and three clan elders went to the old lady of Rongqingtang to complain. Today, he was summoned by Jia Lian. He knew in his heart that Jia Lian must be looking for some benefits elsewhere to supplement the clan, so he became excited.
rushed over.
At this time, Jia Zhen was still a little complacent in her heart. His father, Jia Jing, had repeatedly told him that from now on he would respect Jia Lian in everything, and ordered him never to have any selfish plans.
But Jia Zhen said that this time he was not doing it for his own benefit. As the patriarch of the Jia clan in Shenjing, he was speaking for the benefit of the entire family.
Of course, if Jia Lian also allocates tens of thousands of acres of land to the clan, Jia Zhen, as the clan leader, will get 40 to 50 percent, which is not too much!
Jia Zhen's calculations were ringing loudly in her heart, and she sat down on Jia Lian's head quite casually. She only looked up and saw that Jia Lian didn't even have a smile on her face.
this???
"Brother Zhen, I heard that you and a few clan elders went to see your ancestors the day before yesterday and had some objections to me dividing the land of Luzon among the twelve families?"
"Well, brother Lian, that's what happened. You see, our Jia family also worked hard with those families to conquer the Luzon area, but how could the hundreds of millions of acres of land be only allocated to their families, but we didn't get any points?
Not even a cent."
Jia Lian glanced sideways at Jia Zhen, smiling softly but not smiling: "So, Brother Zhen is dissatisfied with my decision?"
Jia Zhen's face tightened, and she was a little hesitant in her heart, but her greed for the tens of millions of acres of land still prevailed.
"Brother Lian, of course I am willing to support you, but as you know from the clan elders, as you get older, you tend to be more stubborn. As juniors, we can be considerate."
Jia Lian chuckled: "Oh, that's true. After all, I am an elder. I did take it for granted before. In this case, please ask Brother Zhen to say thank you to the elders for their hard work."
"Okay! That's right, Brother Lian, we all have the surname Jia. We can't name two Jia's in one sentence. It's good, but of course we have to focus on our own talents first."
Jia Zhen thought to herself, what trouble did those old guys have? It was all thanks to herself as the patriarch who cared about the family.
Jia Lian glanced at Jia Zhen, who was overjoyed: "Then I'll trouble Brother Zhen to go and inform the three clan elders to go to Tianjin Port early tomorrow morning. There happens to be a small fleet there that leaves early for Luzon."
"Go... to Luzon?"
Are we going to divide the land now? How to let them go? Shouldn't it be me, the patriarch...well, it's me, the patriarch, who should send people there?
"Brother Lian, you see that the clan elders are old after all. It would be a bit hard for them to go thousands of miles away. How about I arrange for someone else to go?"
"Oh? Brother Zhen arranges for someone to go there? How many other quasi-innate combat powers do you have under your command?"
"Quasi-Xiantian? What...what quasi-Xiantian? Brother Lian, are you asking the clan elders to go?"
"Hmph, the twelve Niu family and Liu family were able to share tens of millions of acres of land in Luzon because they gathered 300 quasi-innate combat power to join the upcoming overseas war. Since Brother Zhen also wants to fight for the family,
If we have a piece of land, then naturally we have to send the quasi-innate combat power of our Jia family to the battlefield!"
"This...how can this be so? Our Jia family has already sent more than ten innate masters to Luzon. Why do we still need three elders to go overseas?"
"Brother Zhen, are you talking about Jia Xiazhou and the others? They are my soldiers first, Jia Lian, and then members of the Jia clan. How can they be confused with the same thing? Brother Zhen, you'd better hurry up and urge the elders to clean up.
To avoid being too hasty in setting off early tomorrow morning.”
Hearing this, Jia Zhen began to sweat involuntarily on her forehead. Who is going to urge those old people to go to Luzon to die? I'm afraid those old people will pick up their crutches and smash their heads in the face on the spot~
Seeing this, Jia Lian basked slightly, and the strong aura suddenly released from his body, which immediately made Jia Zhen's face pale, like a gleam on her back, but she couldn't move:
"Brother Zhen is worried that a few clan elders are not enough? Also, other families have promised huge benefits, and even joined other families to jointly develop tens of millions of acres of land to invite so many people. Our family only has
It’s indeed inappropriate to go to a few clan elders, so it’s just right. Brother Zhen, the clan leader, should also go there together!”
"No, clan elders can say that as a third-grade mighty general, I cannot leave the capital without orders."
Jia Zhen finally realized that she had done something stupid and was going to be punished by Jia Lian. She saw him fussing anxiously for a while before coming up with this excuse.
"It's okay, brother Zhen, don't worry. I'll go to Longshou Palace later to say hello to the Supreme Emperor for this little thing. You can go without worry!"
Don't worry!
Jia Zhen was so miserable that she couldn't tell, and her intestines turned green with regret. It was not like she had never heard of this person being someone who was not easy to deal with in the past. In the past two years, he led people to massacre tens of thousands of people in Jiangnan, but he himself was stunned that nothing happened.
My father has long said that he must follow Jia Lian's lead. Why did he become obsessed with lard? When provoked by a few old guys, he only wanted to gain benefits.
Now it's better. Jia Zhen blushed and wanted to let go and beg Jia Lian for mercy. However, her body was pressed by Jia Lian's real momentum and she couldn't move on the solid wood Taishi chair. Even the pressure became heavier and heavier...
Jia Zhen soon couldn't bear it anymore. He felt that his internal organs were about to be displaced due to the pressure. He felt so uncomfortable that he almost wanted to vomit blood. He quickly raised his hands to admit defeat and express his compliance with the order.
Jia Lian waited for a while and saw that Jia Zhen really couldn't bear it anymore, so he took back his momentum and didn't do anything cruel.
"Brother Zhen, you are incompetent. You will only be a worm waiting to die for the rest of your life. However, you are still conceited at heart. Now you even dare to interfere in my affairs.
I don’t want to talk to you anymore. You go to Manila City and stay for three months. Calm down and calm down. Jia Xiazhou will arrange it for you. As for the tribe, if there are people who are willing to make progress, Manila City has a population of 100,000, and there are
There is always a place for the tribesmen to establish themselves in the hundreds of miles of land outside the city.
Sidao, take your people and take Brother Zhen to their hometowns in person, and then send them to Luzon early tomorrow morning!"
As soon as Jia Lian finished speaking, Jia Sidao's figure suddenly appeared out of thin air in the Rongxi Hall. He first bowed to Jia Lian and then turned to Jia Zhen with a smile:
"Lord Patriarch, please."
"No! I am the patriarch, you can't..."
Feeling that Jia Sidao was not inferior to the powerful momentum that Jia Lian had just displayed, Jia Zhenru was still shouting loudly and refused to submit.
"Brother Zhen, don't worry. I will inform Uncle Jing about today's events. I'm sure he won't have any objections."
Hearing this, Jia Zhen suddenly shivered all over. If Jia Jing really knew about this today, he would probably not have a good skin on his body. Even though he is already thirty or forty years old now, but in his father's eyes,
In front of me, he is just a scumbag.
In this case, it is better to go to Luzon.
That afternoon, some Jia clan members near Ningrong Street were very excited to see the excitement. Three clan elders who were usually highly respected, as well as Jia Zhen, the patriarch of the Jia clan in Shenjing, were actually placed under house arrest.
The people who were looking after them actually came from Rongguo Mansion. During this process, the three clan elders also started fighting with people from Rongguo Mansion. Unfortunately, the clan elders who used to be so powerful and respected as gods by their clansmen were in front of the guards of Rongguo Mansion.
He couldn't even move three moves or two and was captured.
In the evening, an explosive piece of news spread throughout the Jia clan.
"Other founding nobles obtained a large amount of land in Luzon, and the Jia family was naturally no exception. So several elders in the clan decided to go to the battlefield in person, like other clan elders, to exchange for the Jia clan a hundred square meters around Manila City.
the land inside.
In the future, if the Jia clan members are determined to make progress, they can invite themselves to Luzon, and the clan will allocate land and provide assistance as appropriate."
