It can be said that Jia Rong's appearance has given the founding group that was gradually sinking a lifeline.
The current plan to suppress the founder of the country was about to reap fruitful results. However, due to Jia Rong's troubles, the situation was abruptly reversed.
Although during this period, the civil servants who had single-handedly supported him did not trust and value him so much, and he still felt quite unhappy.
Jia Rong, who caused all this, is naturally regarded as a thorn in his side!
Not to mention, the several novels written by Jia Rong in Majia have all had quite an astonishing impact, and can even be said to have affected the lives of countless people.
Although today we don’t have a deep understanding of the power of propaganda, we still have a vague awareness that this situation is very inappropriate.
Of course, some of the things Jia Rong did have also helped solve a lot of problems today.
At least it seems that this person has some signs of acting for the country and the people.
Nowadays, he has to reward and even upgrade his title to the first level. I really love and hate him.
If there was a chance to trouble Jia Rong, he wouldn't mind doing it secretly.
Unfortunately, today's ideals are wonderful, but the reality does not allow it.
However, as a dynasty of the Central Plains, Daqian had a hundred years of peace, and the population multiplied very rapidly, reaching a peak at this time.
"My son, you must think clearly!"
After all, even if the weather changes too much in modern times, it will have a huge impact on food production, let alone the feudal era with backward productivity.
The most speechless thing is that Jia Baoyu and Xiren, the number one maid in the house, have already accomplished good things, and no one knows when it happened.
Generally, floods are followed by locust plagues, which can cause trouble if not handled well.
When the time comes, she will be in charge, and there will be many young talents at her disposal.
Those who seem to be honest and responsible generally get married early and even have offspring.
Xue Baochai was a little dumbfounded and said helplessly: "Mother, there is no need to be like this!"
As for taking the palace draft route, it is currently out of the question.
"I also plan to introduce you to a marriage partner, you are not young anymore!"
At this time, Jia Rong was certain that another Little Ice Age was coming.
At this time, Jia Rong asked her to go to sea to take charge of the development and construction of a large island, which was quite attractive to Xue Baochai, who was extremely enterprising.
The key is still the issue of money. At this time, the imperial court's tax revenue of more than 40 million yuan a year is close to 50 million yuan, and it really can't afford such a costly project.
But the problem is that they are all core members of the four major families in Jinling. They have to fight hard in the Daqian Court and it is impossible to get out.
In the Xue family's old house in Beijing, the atmosphere in the backyard flower hall is solemn.
Unfortunately, with Jia Rong's understanding of today's temperament, she may not be able to make such a decision.
Xue Baochai was also very unhappy because of the unsatisfactory marriage.
In other words, he himself has the kind of vanity and profit-seeking temperament.
As long as the present day and the imperial court manage things properly, it will be a little difficult to get through the situation, but it will not be as desperate as in the late Ming Dynasty.
Once fully operational, it is not impossible to occupy a large island in a short period of time and build it into a recognized island nation.
Looking at the four major families in Jinling, plus the Lin family, there are indeed many elites like Lin Ruhai's generation.
Even with Xue Baochai's arrogance, she didn't dare to say that she could clearly see the true nature of a new scholar. She didn't have that kind of life experience and ability.
The key point is that Xue Baochai is a core member of the Xue family, and he values the family very much, so there is no need to worry about having any evil intentions.
Once you take action, it will easily be seen as burning bridges, and the damage to your reputation will be too great.
Relying solely on relief from the imperial court is obviously not enough.
But it would be impossible for him to target Jia Rong of Ning Mansion at this time.
However, the results of the private investigation did not satisfy her.
Lin Ruhai and Wang Ziteng both have the potential to enter the cabinet, and Shi Jia Shuanghou also has the background and qualifications to become a military boss.
With Xue Baochai's arrogance, how could she possibly be too aggrieved and compete with other women for a new scholar?
It must be said that Aunt Xue has never thought about letting Xue Baochai join the Gaomen.
In short, Xue Baochai has no plans to get married at this time.
In addition, she also had other thoughts.
In fact, this is not a problem. Xue Baochai probably hopes that her future husband will be weak and can continue to participate in the management of external affairs.
After all, she is still a young girl, but she often encounters setbacks in marriage matters, which is a big blow to her.
As for the newly promoted Jinshi, after several considerations, Xue Baochai no longer had any thoughts in this regard.
But the number of people living here has not decreased at all.
But in the end, what he was waiting for was a request from a concubine or step-wife, and he immediately stopped working.
After all, the number of young workers that can be absorbed in coal mines is limited.
Due to the lack of water, the production and living costs in the Guanzhong region are much higher than those in the Guandong region.
Because of his background, Uncle Xue's potential in the officialdom is average, but it is not difficult to be a conservative person.
To maintain the survival of a population of 200 million, the demand for food is absolutely massive.
This is the second consecutive year of drought in the Guanzhong area, which has attracted considerable attention, and the local government is relatively conscientious.
It's just going out to work hard. There's basically no danger, but it just takes some time.
The most negative people are scholars!
This is no joke.
It’s not a separation between life and death, so why make it so exaggerated and tragic?
If outsiders saw it, they would think something happened to the Xue family.
With the Xue family's strength and energy, it would probably take several generations of efforts to occupy an island in the outer sea and establish a recognized island nation.
Naturally, he was not polite. With a single order, he accelerated the development of the large offshore islands, transporting people and supplies in boats.
It is impossible to say that Xue Baochai has no yearning in his heart.
Who doesn’t say hello when they see you?
Not the marginal children or the legitimate descendants with physical defects, but the true legitimate descendants, the kind who are qualified to inherit the title and the position of head of the family.
As a result, Chen Shimei successfully passed the exam, but then changed her mind.
That is, he is a romantic by nature, or he likes to play with women, and he has gained a reputation in the brothel at a young age.
Another is to implement a large-scale work-for-relief program, launch a large-scale infrastructure construction model, absorb many refugees, and at the same time improve the efficiency and speed of logistics within Daqian.
It can be said that there are not many choices for Xue Baochai.
If this is the case, Xue Baochai doesn't mind taking a gamble. As long as she can achieve her goal before the age of twenty, her future happiness will not be a problem.
Moreover, Jia Rong specifically used the Ministry of Internal Affairs as a benchmark. Once food prices rose too sharply, it would be easy to destroy the good rules and production environment that the coal mines had finally formed.
It’s not that I dislike Jia Baoyu for being incompetent, but also being weak-tempered and irresponsible.
The shocking first novel "Chen Shimei's Biography" is enough to alert the Huaichun girls who admire the newly promoted Jinshi.
Lian Er, the only one among the younger generation who has such a bright future, is unlikely to give up on his bright future in officialdom.
It seems that only Xue Baochai is the most suitable.
Besides, Jia Baoyu is not without merit. He is very good at coaxing girls. The key is that he looks good.
If it is not handled well, the peaceful state of Daqian will be gone forever.
This was also the main reason why he tried his best to train and train this cold beauty.
Now that the time is right, Jia Rong will not waste it. She will directly explain the situation to Xue Baochai and let her decide whether she wants to or not.
Recruitment costs have been greatly reduced, and even those who stutter can recruit a sufficient number of young and strong laborers, which is simply impossible in peaceful times.
But this situation is a good thing for Jia Rong.
So far this year, the capital and Zhili areas are normal, but the Guanzhong area is still suffering from drought.
Even if the court does not have specific statistics, it can be roughly estimated that it should be around 200 million.
As for Jia Yun and other officials at the bottom of the officialdom, they are all still in the growth stage and cannot be counted on at all.
Aunt Xue said with runny nose and tears: "You are still so young, you have to go out and work hard!"
Anyway, when Xue Baochai heard this, he felt extremely panicked.
The Guanzhong area is densely populated, but the geographical environment is not very good.
She wanted to get along with Xue Baochai and Jia Baoyu, but it was a pity that Xue Baochai was not happy.
Soon, the entire Central Plains region, including the surrounding areas, will enter a period of cold weather.
At this time, a capable helmsman is needed.
However, continuous natural and man-made disasters will still cause a large number of refugees.
Before he passed the Jinshi examination, Chen Shimei was definitely a good man, a good husband and a good father. There is no need to say that.
The Guanzhong area is also an important area for guarding against tribes in the northwest grasslands. Once chaos occurs, the consequences will be disastrous.
It's not that we can't work together from the bottom, it's just that we can't figure out the specific thoughts of those new Jinshi.
Anyway, she doesn't think about Jia Baoyu for the time being.
Of course, speaking of such thoughts and ideas is a bit too shocking.
Fortunately, Daqian was still at its peak at this time and was not in the late dynasty.
After thousands of years of development, the formerly fertile Guanzhong Plain has been gradually replaced by loess soil with crisscrossed ditches.
This is because of the new revenue from sea salt production, coal mines and Jinmen Port, which has increased the national treasury revenue, otherwise it would normally be more than 30 million taels.
Xue Baochai had some thoughts in mind. If Jia Rong wanted to establish a country overseas, could he, as a powerful being, occupy an important position in the core ruling order of the island country?
Judging from Jia Rong's usual display of respect for female students, it is very possible.
Because of his title, Jia Rong could not leave the capital for a long time.
But Jia Rong of Ning Mansion is different. As the head of the four major families in Jinling, he can mobilize most of the resources of the four major families in Jinling.
All kinds of weird weather occur one after another, and the key is that it will seriously affect the food harvest.
What's funny is that when the maid in that room was joking, she actually called her "Flower Auntie". I don't know if she was out of her mind.
Not only is there a drought in Guanzhong, the south also needs to pay attention.
Qin Xianglian is so happy. In order to support her husband Chen Shimei's examination, she kept selling off her family property without any intention of leaving anything behind.
It's just that his living environment and poor family background allowed him to hide all his unbearable traits so well that even the person next to him didn't notice at all.
Not to mention, local officials are not very conscientious in their duties. They must first meet their needs, and then they will consider the life and death of the people.
The "shattering" novel "Overseas Founding" has not mentioned that among the many island countries in the outer sea, some island countries have female protagonists.
However, when Jia Baoyu appeared in front of her and Lin Daiyu, he still had an innocent face. She didn't know whether it was true or pretending?
But Jia Baoyu had a problem that Xue Baochai found hard to accept.
As for getting married, Xue Baochai doesn't have many ideas for the time being.
It can be said that the disaster in Guanzhong is quite a headache right now, and I don’t have much thought to do anything else.
It’s not that matchmakers have never come to the door before, and they introduced some marginalized children from noble families, or so-called direct descendants with serious flaws themselves.
In short, Aunt Xue is quite worried about Xue Baochai's marriage.
As for those suave ones, how could Xue Baochai like them?
There are also those whose family situations are quite complicated and cannot be sorted out at all.
What they were interested in, besides Xue Baochai's beauty, was the Xue family's money.
The reason why I am interested in the construction of Rongfu Provincial Courtyard is just to have fun in my spare time.
As for Jia Zhu, her mind is a bit pedantic, and her specific execution ability may not be as good as even Jia Yun's, so forget it.
At least when Ning Mansion is strong, there is no need to worry about Xue Baochai having different intentions.
It can be said that at this time, there are many signs that the idea is exhausted.
In this way, it is much better than being treated as an unappreciated commodity and being picked over and over again.
Fortunately, whether it is the national treasury or the private treasury, there is still a lot of money, so I am not so anxious.
Among other things, building a few more northern coastal port towns can easily absorb millions of refugees. Even the food problem can be partially alleviated with the help of ocean fishing.
The same is true. The grain output in the Guanzhong region is not high, and it can only barely sustain the survival of many people.
When drought occurs, food production is inevitably reduced.
However, Xue Baochai had already thought about it and planned to agree to Jia Rong's invitation and give full play to her talents.
She never thought that she was inferior to those Jinshi masters, but her status as a woman limited her abilities.
Not to mention anything else, when the Xue family in Jinling fell apart, in order to get rid of the unfavorable situation, the direct lineage headed by Xue Pan had to abandon all business in the south, so that they could successfully escape and go north.
During this period, only she herself knew how much effort and effort Xue Baochai expended in maintaining the situation.
It can be said that the Xue family was in the most embarrassment when they first entered Beijing. Although there was no shortage of money, the huge commercial network in the north was showing signs of collapse. It was Xue Baochai's efforts to maintain it that barely caused problems...
