Chapter 953 Jia Rong: The West Mansion Lives Too Leisurely
Not to mention the ripples caused by the plot of the novel "The Grand Canal" among the audience, it was all within Jia Rong's expectation.
In fact, he started writing the novel "The Grand Canal" when Lian Er had a conflict with the Tongzhou Caobang gang.
By the time Jinmen Daotai Yamen and Caobang eased their relationship and started selling sun-dried sea salt together, the writing had basically been completed.
The reason why I released it now is because I saw the right time.
Jia Rong wished that the Caobang and the Huaiyang salt merchants could contend with each other as long as possible. Unfortunately, the Huaiyang salt merchants failed to live up to their expectations and were completely defeated in one round.
At this time, Caobang can be said to be in the early stages of rapid development.
Once a huge amount of profits are obtained through selling private salt, it will not be that simple and easy to target them again.
At the moment, Caobang has just mastered the largest private salt sales system in Daqian, and at the same time, its relationship with the court bosses is in a subtle period of adjustment.
How to distribute such huge profits from private salt sales to satisfy all parties is not a simple and easy matter.
It is conceivable that in order to obtain more distribution of benefits, there will definitely be no shortage of private fights and confrontations, and they will also be quite fierce.
But even so, it still attracted the attention of today's and cabinet bosses.
It’s not that Mr. Ethnology has never communicated with him, but the effect is not great. After several times, there is no need to waste words.
Sometimes, it feels really funny.
He also had a temperament that cared less about food than fights, and he was at the age of twelve or thirteen when he liked to make trouble. He often went out to meet friends, drink some wine and see the beauties in brothels.
But when the Cao Gang and the Chaotang boss coordinate their interests in place, then the Cao Gang can rely on most of the power of the Chaotang boss, and the pressure will be as high as Mount Tai.
Because of the Cao Gang's pursuit, Zhujiao didn't even bother to let his relatives who were buried in the sea of fire be buried in peace, so he started the rhythm of being on the run.
If there wasn't a lot of material, how could those down-and-out scholars who rely solely on writing novels for a living like to write stories about brothel courtesans and talented people, but readers still love to read them.
But Jia Rong's writing of a book has attracted special attention recently. No matter what Caobang does at this time, he can't escape the eyes and eyes of Jin in the capital.
Everyone has different thoughts, but the plot of the novel "The Grand Canal" advances very quickly, without being affected by the hidden turbulence at all.
I'm not out of my mind or doing anything stupid, I just know my position.
By then, as one of the most important branches of the Jia family in the capital, Xifu will inevitably be implicated. If there is no precaution at all, problems will arise by then.
Jia Rong had no intention of asking about this. Qin Keqing only found out about it after he helped collect information from outside and then mentioned it a few times while resting or eating.
Besides, this kind of thing is quite taboo, and it can easily arouse the dissatisfaction of the officials and people in the capital. There is no direct conflict of interest with them, and the enthusiasm and motivation are not good at all.
Some students who kept themselves clean took the initiative to distance themselves from him, but of course many students also took the initiative to get involved.
As for the Xue family's business losses, they will naturally be compensated after the incident passes. Jia Rong has no intention of burning bridges.
You may not dare to use political tactics in the capital, but mobilizing close courtiers to impeach is a sure thing.
In addition, the officials behind the alliance mobilized connections and energy to directly ban the further spread of the "Grand Canal" novel.
It can be seen from the current reaction that although he is afraid of the Caobang, he does not take it too seriously and is confident that he will completely suppress the Caobang.
Similar to the old lady in Xifu, the life of Phoenix Egg was quite pleasant.
Don't just think about the benefits brought by the rise and prosperity of the Fenrun Jia clan, but you don't want to fulfill any obligations. How can there be such a good thing in the world?
They sent people directly to the capital to look for "overwhelming mountains and seas", and their purpose was self-evident.
When he said this, his tone was quite gentle and his expression was not abnormal at all.
This incident has not affected the neighboring Xifu so far.
Later, Zhuji relied on tyrannical force and finally escaped the pursuit of the Cao Gang masters, and could take a good breath of relief.
Not to mention, the Caobang acted a bit unscrupulously, directly mobilizing courtiers to help seal the book, which is very unpleasant today.
But Dai Quan, who had been following Jin Jin for a long time, knew that Jin Jin was already angry in his heart.
At this point in the novel, the most impressive thing for the audience, apart from the miserable condition of the pig's feet, is the astonishingly powerful Cao Gang.
It is estimated that Phoenix Egg was affected by the atmosphere of the Rongqing Hall where the old lady lived, and then he devoted himself to the path of being a wealthy and idle person.
That is to say, Mr. Zheng rarely goes to such a place, otherwise Phoenix Egg would have to enjoy a few meals of family service.
It's just that with his performance, apart from the fact that the old lady and Mrs. Wang still valued him as if they were under a enchantment spell, his weight in the hearts of the second master, both in clan studies and in politics, has dropped a lot.
However, if the cultivation level has not reached a certain level, it is impossible to see the profound secrets hidden in simple training techniques.
With Xifu's attitude like this, Jia Rong naturally couldn't talk casually and disturb the old lady and their leisurely daily life.
Not to mention that it can reach the level of pig's feet in novels, but it can keep three or five big men from getting close, which is already quite good.
Whenever there is a dangerous moment, the audience's hearts are tightened, for fear of hearing something unfortunate.
At this point in the plot, the early stage is completely over.
Jia Rong naturally noticed it immediately, but didn't take it to heart.
In this way, although the life of escape for more than a year was miserable, Pig's Knuckle's physical strength had reached a level of proficiency, and he was considered an elite presence in the hands of first-class masters in the world.
Fortunately, this guy's mind wasn't completely confused yet, and he didn't spend the night in a brothel. However, his reputation as a romantic and talented man gradually emerged.
The audience felt excited and frightened following the pig's feet. If they were not in good health, they really couldn't afford it.
Speaking of Mr. Zheng Er’s family tradition, Phoenix Egg seems to have barely enjoyed it since he went to the clan school. It can be said that the clan school definitely helped him a lot.
When the audience heard this, they were all happy that the pig's feet had improved their martial arts skills.
In the future, there will be many areas that require the cooperation of the Xue family. I just hope that the top brass of the Xue family will remain clear-headed as always.
If the pig's feet had not gone to the inland area, he would probably have been hunted by the Cao gang until one day his luck ran out and he would be directly surrounded and killed.
If you start at this time, although the rebound will not be small, it will not be too exaggerated.
He had heard that the old lady and other ladies in the house liked to listen to the novel stories of "The Grand Canal", and from time to time they would make some remarks.
Over there, there was singing and dancing as usual, and the days were so leisurely and comfortable.
After going back and forth, I became acquainted with Feng Ziying, Wei Ruolan and other ethnic studies classmates who had the same preferences. They often hung out together.
There are some things that you haven’t seen or noticed, so you won’t care too much about them now.
And at this moment, the Caobang's reaction in reality came.
If the person who wrote the book this time was not Jia Rong, the head of the Ning Mansion, how could other ordinary book writers have withstood such a thing?
As long as I think about the joints, my current mood will not get much better.
If the Cao Gang is really as powerful as in the novel, will they take revenge?
Obviously, they did not have such awareness. The novel "The Grand Canal" was just a kind of entertainment and they didn't take it seriously at all.
Jia Rong didn't mean to take the initiative to remind him. Sometimes he felt that it was time to borrow the help of outsiders to knock on Xifu.
After all, the hatred between parents is irreconcilable, and if the pig's feet didn't respond, the audience would not feel very good.
How arrogant you are now, how panicky you will be later.
But the next plot is how the pig's feet fight back.
In particular, the combat descriptions are quite exciting, and every time Pig Knuckles makes a breakthrough in martial arts, it gives them a vivid and refreshing feeling.
Haven't they ever thought about writing to Lian Er, an official in Tongzhou, to ask?
Also, when Lian Er had a conflict with the Caobang sub-rudder, the old lady and the others should have known about it, so why didn’t they ask what the outcome would be?
The mobilized courtiers did not dare to take too big actions. They just used their power to first target small restaurants and tea shops that did not have a strong backing, and did not allow them to continue to spread the content of "The Grand Canal".
"The Cao Gang is really majestic, and they have used their methods in the capital!"
He is a strong man from outside the country who is constantly busy working for the Jia family. On the contrary, he is the real senior leader of the Jia family, but he is not very enthusiastic about the development of the family.
By this time, ordinary sieges and killings were no longer effective. Unless the gap in the number of people was too big, running away would not be a problem.
There are so many thieves at the top of the court. If there is not enough benefit, it is just a dream to expect them to reveal the truth.
That kind of reality even caused many listeners to have the idea of practicing martial arts.
In the towns along the canal, the Caobang's influence is quite large, and the manpower and material resources it can mobilize are astonishing.
The story of "The Grand Canal" progresses very quickly. When the plot of the novel reaches the end, the Cao Gang will have a headache.
On the other hand, the Xue family, because of the publication of the book, has completely hated the Caogang. It is estimated that they are on the suppression list and need to be reminded.
Dai Quan didn't know much about this, so he just stood aside silently, without any thought or action of holding the fire and setting up the seedlings. That was too obvious.
The Caobang acts in such a domineering manner!
But they have forgotten that this is the capital city and they cannot be arrogant.
You know, if the Caobang is very aware of the details of the "tremendous" incident, they will never let go of Jia Rong, the instigator, easily.
It is introduced in The Story of the Red Chamber that the old lady loved the excitement. She would have a small banquet every three days and watch a play every five days. In addition, Jia's family was famous for its delicacies, so her life was really not too beautiful.
The main thing is that Phoenix Egg actually likes to go to the Chu Palace, a famous brothel in the capital, and is also very popular with the girls there. When the news reached Qin Keqing, she naturally had a deep memory.
Even, according to Qin Keqing's report, this guy has already hooked up with Jiang Yuhan in Prince Zhongshun's palace, but he just doesn't know how close the relationship is?
Of course, he was basically satisfied with the Xue family's performance this time.
The identity of "Touching Mountain" is not particularly secret. Basically, the top bosses know it, but it will take some time for the Cao Gang to find out the details.
If some listeners really turn on the martial arts training mode and follow the routine of the novel "Pig's Knuckle", the results will be achieved very quickly.
As the head wife of the Ning Mansion, Qin Keqing still has access to some information channels. She pays special attention to the movements of the Jia clan members, so she knows some of the whereabouts of the Phoenix Egg.
The cabinet bosses did not take any action after seeing it, as if they were just watching with a cold eye.
The effect was quite good, but it also attracted a lot of complaints.
Needless to say, Jia Rong's martial arts skills go without saying. How could the things he brought out be useless?
In other words, the second master of politics, as the deputy envoy of the General Affairs Department, did not even notice anything. This political sense is really speechless.
In fact, every one of them wanted to take a bite out of Cao Bang. Who said that Cao Gang was at the height of his power at this time and was an out-and-out wealthy man.
At this time, they only dared to use some small methods in the government offices, and did not dare to really force themselves.
Fortunately, Pig's Knuckle is really talented, and his martial arts skills are also quite sharp. Every time when his life is in danger, he can either fight back or make a temporary breakthrough to become stronger.
This guy is quite talented in poetry, poetry, and poetry. The girls in the high-end brothels all have good cultural literacy, and some are even proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. It is normal to like talented people.
Speaking of Phoenix Egg, since I majored in miscellaneous studies, my life in family studies has been much better.
When they tried to explore and negotiate with some of the more famous restaurants and teahouses in the capital, they encountered a very clear rejection.
Even the pig's trotters can counterattack if they get the chance.
The more you practice as a martial artist with a certain level of proficiency, the less likely you are to believe the descriptions of martial arts in novels, thinking they are just the author's imagination.
Of course, the Phoenix Egg thing was just something to talk about after dinner and during breaks, and Jia Rong didn't really care.
After all, people come here to enjoy the glory and wealth, so naturally they can be as carefree and comfortable as they want.
What he is currently paying attention to, apart from the response caused by the novel "The Grand Canal", the most important thing is still focused on ethnic studies.
The Academy of Ethnology has now trained two elites. Although it is definitely inferior to those of those academies, it is quite a big deal when placed in the circle of the founders of the country.
Apart from anything else, Jia Rong recently attended a banquet held by the founding noble family. There were always senior nobles mentioning the Jia family's studies, showing an envious look on their faces. They also said that they would send more children from the clan to study, and asked tentative questions.
Can we get more places?
Jia Rong naturally said that there is no problem, but there is still a limit to the number of places in a family. This point is beyond doubt and has been unanimously affirmed by the distinguished bosses...
