After Jia Cong poured chicken soup for the soul into the princess, Jia She said goodbye to Beringien and led the children back to the island... It is not surprising that the princess said that she had to watch for Beringi for seven or seven days before she could go somewhere else to relax. Come up on their heads.
A few days later, Sangu Lu also came back. She secretly followed He Laodun until he found an inn to stay in Chengtian Mansion, then informed Jia Yuanchun and left it alone.
Jia Cong waited in vain for three days to let the couple have a rest, and then went to find his fifth uncle and fifth aunt. He opened his mouth with a smile and the first thing he said was: "Fifth Aunt has nothing else to do, right? Now I plan to build a new one." No one is in charge of the Ministry of Commerce yet.”
Lv Sangu was caught off guard and was stunned for a moment, then said casually: "How many days have I rested?" She turned to look at Jia Xu.
Jia Xu said, "My wife makes her own decision." Lu Sangu asked him what the Ministry of Commerce did.
Jia Cong said: "To put it simply, it is to formulate and supervise the implementation of business-related rules, including commercial taxes. For example, we are now developing industry and want to encourage people to set up more factories and reduce taxes. We also encourage innovation, which factory has improved. Taxes can also be reduced on technological processes. We want to stop tax increases in some industries. For example, when there is a shortage of food, wineries raise taxes. It’s a bit like the Minister of Household Affairs.”
Lu Sangu took a breath and couldn't help turning her head to look at Jia Xu. Jia Xu said with a smile: "I haven't been the transfer minister, Lin Hai has been."
Lu Sangu asked: "Why not let Master Lin do it?"
Jia Cong said: "My uncle is too upright. In the peaceful and prosperous times, we need upright household ministers. We are not in peaceful and prosperous times now. Moreover, he is also in charge of newspapers. Literacy classes are being held in each issue, and more and more people are literate. I need An upright elder can control the general direction of public opinion. The more upright and kind ordinary people are, the more stable and united Taiwan will be."
Lu Sangu asked again: "Who is in charge of these things now?"
Jia Cong said: "Brother Lian is in charge of a small part, and Sister Lin is in charge of the other part. Most of them have not been done by anyone yet."
Lu Sangu thought for a while and said, "It's just that I don't know how to start."
Jia Cong spread his hands and said: "I don't know, everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones. The fifth aunt is a smart person and has been a big shopkeeper. The most important thing is reliability! This department is so lucrative that ordinary people can't bear it." Don't be tempted. It's not that he cares about the money that made him greedy - since he is greedy, he will definitely make deals with merchants, and those transactions will definitely harm the overall situation. The fifth aunt lived in such poverty when he was in charge of such a huge business. Life, you are more reliable than others. Besides, Uncle Wu has a lot of money, and money is not attractive to you." He said with a smile.
Lu Sangu smiled and said: "In this case, I am more suitable than others."
"No!" Jia Cong said flatteringly, "Talents like Fifth Aunt are so rare! Wouldn't it be a pity to let them go to waste?" Yi Bi diligently poured tea for his Fifth Aunt.
Lu Sangu took the tea with a smile, but suddenly a strange feeling came to her heart. She lowered her head and stared at the tea in her hand for a long time.
Jia Cong blinked: "Isn't tea good?"
Lu Sangu shook her head slightly, picked it up and took a sip: "This tea is very good." Her eyes were secretly burning.
Jia Cong turned to look at Jia Xu. Jia Xu didn't know why and could only shake his head. Jia Cong touched the back of his head: "Then...is this matter settled?"
Lu Sangu said: "Don't blame me if you make a mistake."
Jia Cong said proudly: "No..." pointing to the tip of his nose, "I have never misjudged your nephew." Then he poured tea for Jia Xu, "I still have something to trouble my fifth uncle and my uncle. Sister-in-law Bao Er." Jia Xu glanced at him. Jia Cong said: "People's hearts."
Jia Xu said: "It's a little early for you to win the support of the people."
Jia Cong said: "Of course we don't want to win the hearts of the people in a big way." Because he stretched out two fingers, "Chivalry and charity are both powerful tools to win the hearts of the people."
Jia Xu frowned: "You want SHIELD to do justice? No, SHIELD is outside the world, and it is best to be neither righteous nor evil."
Jia Cong said: "Follow SHIELD's trademark of chivalry and righteousness, and go everywhere to kill people with great public dissatisfaction, such as Tan Mo, the governor of Zhangzhou who died not long ago. These people have many enemies. However, ordinary people don't care whether you buy it or not." .Those who kill murderers should be grateful to whoever kills their enemy. They must do it tactfully."
Jia Xu still shook his head: "No. You can still use SHIELD people, but change the name."
Jia Cong thought for a while: "Yes! How about the Avengers? In the early years, we beat Jia Rong under this banner."
Lu Sangu raised her eyebrows and said, "What? Is it you?"
Jia Cong looked innocent: "Yeah, what's wrong?"
Lu Sangu said: "I checked back then. So you are the one who killed Niu Jiyao, the Fourth Master of the Zhenguo Mansion?"
"Hmm." Jia Cong said, "They hired us to avenge their relatives and made a lot of money. Aren't those trivial matters like those of the Five Cities Military and Horses Division in charge? My Fifth Aunt knows that too."
Lu Sangu said: "A group of Green Foresters suddenly appeared in the capital. They even dared to kill the men in charge of the government. How can we ignore them? But I have never heard of this Avengers committing a crime."
Jia Cong said: "Zhao Cheng somehow got suspicious of us, so he didn't dare to act rashly. Besides, we had just invited a few Western gentlemen at that time, and everyone was busy studying mathematics, physics, and chemistry and had no time to discuss that matter. ." Nai turned to look at Jia Xu, his eyes shining brightly as if begging for praise, "Does Fifth Uncle know?"
Jia Xu said: "I've heard that a dude died, but I didn't take it to heart." Jia Cong pursed his lips. Jia Xu thought to himself, "If you just kill some corrupt officials and market bullies, using this name would be a good idea. Not bad." Then he asked, "What charity are you talking about?"
Jia Cong said: "Now that the old lady is suffering from Alzheimer's disease and the second wife has suffered a stroke and is living in bed, sister-in-law Bao'er has nothing to worry about anymore. Since brother Bao'er has a literary name, she is the wife of a celebrity. , this status is perfect for charity. It is to lead a group of ladies and grandmothers to deliver food and clothing to the poor. Although this kind of thing is often done by every family in Beijing, because everyone does their own thing, it cannot be seen. If Bao Er sister-in-law takes the lead , this reputation belongs to Rongguo Mansion first."
Jia Xu nodded and said, "It's quite thoughtful."
"All the women in the Jia family are capable, including those who marry in." Jia Cong said, "I can trust Sister-in-law Bao's talent." Cao Xueqin's talent is indispensable for being ranked among the twelve beauties. She suddenly asked, "Why? Haven’t you heard of any serious drought or flood disasters anywhere in the past few years?”
"Why not? Every year." Jia Xu said, "It's just that in the past few years, the world has been divided among the kings, and these are all ambitious, willing to give up money and food, and provide disaster relief in a timely manner." He said calmly, "Who doesn't want it? Where is the public sentiment?”
"..." Jia Cong was speechless for a moment, "It actually has this benefit!"
Jia Xu said: "Now that they have recently gained territory, they naturally cherish the people. They can only pay it back to the next generation. It's hard to say what the next generation will be."
Jia Cong shrugged and said, "I don't intend to let the world be divided for so long." Jia Xu laughed and patted his shoulder.
Lu Sangu suddenly shouted: "Cong'er."
"ah?"
She pointed at the teacup: "Give me more tea."
"Oh." Jia Cong was puzzled and kept adding more tea. Sangu Lu sat upright and took the tea and took a sip. Jia Cong looked at her and then at his uncle, but Sangu Lu did not speak.
Jia Xu also felt a little strange, so he sent Jia Cong away with a few words; Jia Cong left quickly. His nephew just went out, and Jia Xu turned around and asked his wife: "Are you worried?"
Lu Sangu shook her head, wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "Cong'er is being clever. Although I know he respects me, after all, he is the young master of Rongguo Mansion, a talent valued by the wise king. He never treats him as a child, only as a friend." .”
"Yeah." Jia Xu said, "This little kid was so smart that he wasn't even a child when he was young."
Lu Sangu smiled with tears in her eyes and said: "I suddenly realized that he is already my junior. I can ask him to bring me tea, and it's fair and aboveboard."
Jia Xu shook her hand and said, "You are his aunt, what does it mean to ask him to do such a small thing? Besides, don't you still want to help him with important things?"
As if she hadn't heard anything, Sangu Lu sighed: "I really have a family now."
Jia Xu immediately pointed to his nose and said, "What about me?"
"You are my companion."
Without saying a word, Jia Xu stepped forward and picked up his wife. Lu Sangu shouted: "What are you doing!"
"Work harder to raise a son, so that the fifth wife won't have to think about all the things after eating my nephew's cup of tea."
Lu Sangu struggled in a hurry: "Hey! Don't mess around in the clear sky." Did Jia Xu pay attention to her? He walked back to the back room.
The other end said He Laodun. He had changed his original name to He Erzhu. He stayed in the inn for a few days and walked around. He felt that Chengtian Mansion was extremely novel and interesting. He saw armed policemen carrying Western guns on the streets every day. On patrol, he had done this all his life, often secretly looking at the fire and gun. Fortunately, almost all the new arrivals in Chengtian Mansion envied the fire and gun, so it did not arouse the suspicion of the armed police.
The first time he took the bus, he heard about Starfleet Academy. An old man raised his head and said loudly: "My second daughter just got engaged a few days ago! My uncle is from Starfleet Academy!" Everyone in the carriage was envious. , congratulations came and went.
Later, when the old man got off the carriage, an aunt said: "This old man has been showing off on the carriage many times! His uncle is just an ordinary blacksmith. He was lucky enough to be selected by Starship Academy to be a moldmaker! He is not a researcher. !It’s a shame he doesn’t live on the bus and blow it every day.”
Another aunt said: "The mold maker of Starship Academy is the best blacksmith, no wonder my father-in-law shows off." Everyone on the carriage agreed with the aunt at the back, but no one spoke for the one in front. Feeling shameless, I got off the bus at the next stop.
When He Erzhu returned to the inn, he looked for the waiter and asked about Starfleet Academy. After staying there for a long time, he finally said with envy: "When people from Starfleet Academy wear uniforms and walk on the street, there are girls throwing flowers."
A few days later, He Erzhu asked the innkeeper where he could find work. The innkeeper quickly gave him a simple map, pointed to a five-star pattern and said: "This is the largest employment agency in Chengtian Mansion. "He Erzhu is the best at reading pictures, and he also knows many words. He can understand it after just a quick glance. He thanked the shopkeeper and went back to the house to change clothes.
When he came out again, the boss said with a smile: "Master He, don't forget me when you have a great future!"
He Erzhu smiled bitterly and said: "The shopkeeper is just kidding. If you have a big future, why come here to find a job."
The shopkeeper said: "Master He can understand this map at a glance. I know you are not an easy person. I don't know how many times you have explained to others how to get there."
He Erzhu smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper, for your kind words." Then he took the map and left.
I got on the Chengtianfu No. 3 bus and rushed to the No. 1 Employment Agency. I saw a big sign with a map at the door. It was huge inside, and there were various arrows pointing the way, telling everyone where to find what kind of jobs. He Erzhu just felt
It was novel and convenient, and he found the painter's section without taking any detours. He then asked the receptionist inside to roughly inquire about the market of Huizi. It turned out that there were many types of painters in Chengtian Mansion, and one of them was called "draughtsman", and He Erzhu was quite popular.
Because it was suitable, many factories required this. In the past few days, the Mechanical Research Institute of Starfleet Academy was actually recruiting draftsmen! He hurriedly ran to sign up for an interview.
After waiting in line for an hour, it was his turn. He thought he would be asked a lot of questions, but he was asked to draw a picture! He Erzhu finished the picture without saying a word. The interviewer's eyes froze when he saw the picture.
Yes! He didn't even ask his name, he was accepted on the spot! He Erzhu originally wanted to pretend to be more ordinary; dozens of people around him looked at him with great envy, but he really couldn't pretend.
Starfleet Academy has dormitories, and He Erzhu returned to the inn to check out. The shopkeeper was so happy that he immediately went to buy firecrackers to set off. When someone met, he said, "A guest from our store has entered Starfleet Academy~~" He Erzhu listened.
, the waist is straighter than before.
He attended Starship Academy for less than a week. On weekends, He Erzhu went to Chengtian 100 for a stroll. As expected, wearing this uniform, everyone on the street respected him, and everyone called him "
"Sir." He has worked in the Ministry of Industry for most of his life. After all, he is just a craftsman. How can he be respected by so many people? His face froze with laughter.
Because he was not young, several aunts smiled and asked, "Does Mr. Sir have any children?" He Erzhu just shook his head at first, and then sighed: "How can a poor craftsman afford a wife?"
The aunt was stunned and immediately asked: "Sir, do you want a wife?" He Erzhu was stunned.
While he was stunned, someone shouted in a low voice: "This gentleman doesn't have a wife yet! The gentleman from Starfleet Academy doesn't have a wife!"
He Erzhu suddenly felt that the eyes of many people around him were green, and he shivered. He was so frightened that he didn't buy anything and ran away. When he returned to the dormitory, he hugged the cabinet and laughed to himself for half an hour.
After some time, his boss saw that he was honest and had solid skills, so he was promoted to the leader of the draftsman team and doubled his salary. He Erzhu was so happy that he wrote a letter to his sister and sent it back to Longyan. It didn't pass.
It didn’t take long before the superiors asked him to participate in a project with the Firearms Research Institute. Anyone with real talents can’t hide it when they encounter opportunities like this. The project team leader on the firearms side was as if he had discovered gold in the sand and wanted to grab it.
He and the project team leader from the machinery side also quarreled with Yuan Chun, and finally Yuan Chun took the initiative and transferred him to the Firearms Research Institute. He Erzhu became more and more eye-catching, turning from a piece of gold sand into a gold ingot! In just three years
In a month's time, the cartographer was promoted to researcher. The project team leader who stole him was very proud and showed off his discernment to everyone. At the end of the year, Yuanchun even awarded him the Bole Award! Jia Cong smiled and said: "It's gold, always.
It will shine." This is something to say later. (..)
