Situ Pan wanted to send troops to attack North America, and Jia Cong was elated. He was secretly glad that Huo Sheng had offered him advice. He was surprised the next moment. A middle-aged man in his forties came out from under Situ Pan and ordered someone to bring up a Jia Cong.
It was the kind of wooden shelf that Cong had used before, with a curtain hanging on it - curtain ppt! Oh, the learning ability of the ancients was so strong. When the man opened the curtain, it was a map of North America.
This man's name was Yu Changshun. He followed merchant ships to the West, and then went to North America on an English ship. Not only did he learn many Western languages, he also inquired about the general situation there. He has been co-authoring Situ Pan for many years.
We had already sent spies to explore North America a while ago. Wow, how long have we been planning this? Jia Cong beamed with joy, and Feng Ziying was secretly amused.
Everyone discussed until dinner time and only made a rough outline. Situ Pan said with a smile: "This matter is serious and cannot be explained in a short while." Then he invited a group of close friends to a banquet.
After the banquet, Situ Pan asked Jia Cong: "What are your ideas about North America?"
Jia Cong said: "I'm just talking on paper, and I've never been there. Facts are the only criterion for testing truth, so it's better to listen to adults. I just thought of two things. One is that almost all Westerners believe in the same religion.
And this religion collects taxes from believers, which is different from ordinary Buddhism and Taoism. Therefore, Christianity is like another government among Westerners, and sometimes it even has the final say than the government - the governments of each country can only control their own affairs.
They only have three-quarters of an acre of land, but they can manage all the believers. Secondly, Your Majesty, you should open classes for the children of the common people. Westerners have been immigrating and multiplying there for 150 years, and there are so many people there that they cannot be educated. There must be some.
Isn’t he a teacher?”
Situ Pan smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this. No matter how large their numbers are, can they surpass the ancestors of the previous dynasty who were originally asked to destroy them? If they can kill them all, so can the lonely king."
Jia Cong scratched his head: "Yes."
Situ Pan said: "The Western immigrants are also fighting each other. The Guhui Association will send some capable agents over to let them fight for a while, so that we can be prepared."
Jia Cong smiled: The hero had the same idea. Then he thought about it again: "In that case, I have to kill someone. This person is a descendant of British immigrants. He is about 20 years old at this time. I don't know the details.
Clearly. Now he is an officer in the British army, his name is. He should be quite famous in the local area."
Situ Pan hurriedly called Yu Changshun to come over and ask him if he knew this person. Unexpectedly, he knew! He said: "But the guy from Virginia? He was shot four times, and his only rags did not hurt him. I'm afraid he has some magical power to protect his body.
.”
"That's not true," Jia Cong said, "it's just that he's very lucky. This person is really lucky and extremely prosperous. If we don't get rid of him, we will be in great trouble."
Yu Changshun said hurriedly: "Sir, why didn't you tell me earlier? I saw him before returning to China. If I knew about this, I would have killed him."
Jia Cong said happily: "So it won't be difficult for Master Yu to kill him?"
Yu Changshun said: "These Westerners are good at firearms and their skills in unarmed fighting are mediocre. They are completely incapable of sneaking at night, flying over eaves and walls, using hidden weapons such as locusts, etc., so they are not prepared for these. It is not difficult to secretly kill one of them."
Jia Cong was so happy that he bowed to him: "Please, sir! Once this person is eliminated, our army's fortune will greatly increase!"
Situ Pan said: "Since he is an important figure, let's settle this account on their opponents' account."
Yu Changshun said: "That is the French army."
Jia Cong clapped his hands and said: "It happens that we have a feud with Yingjili. If you don't blame them, who will blame you?"
Yu Changshun said: "Mr. Jia's words make sense. Moreover, the ancestors of the previous dynasty over there are not dead, and there are still very few remnants. Although they are small in number, they hate Westerners deeply, so they can also be used."
Jia Cong said: "Those people are easier to educate and deal with than the Westerners. No matter how bad they are, they can be eaten away slowly." He suddenly remembered another thing, "It seems that many of the ancestors of the previous dynasties in America died from the plague."
Yu Changshun said: "A lot of people died from the epidemic, but no one asked about the number. It sounds like smallpox to me."
Jia Cong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly shouted: "I forgot something extremely important!"
Situ Pan glanced at him: "You kid always forgets important things."
Jia Cong scratched his head, glanced at Situ Pan secretly, and said with a flattering smile: "That... this matter... is really important. Your Majesty, you must forgive me first, otherwise I won't dare to say anything."
Situ Pan was already familiar with his temperament, and it was obvious that there was something good that he had forgotten about. He said with a smile: "That's all, can I really do anything to you? Tell me quickly."
Jia Cong laughed a few more times: "Well... I have a prescription to prevent smallpox. It's just that it hasn't been widely tested yet. I need to find an imperial doctor to test it a few more times."
Situ Pan was stunned for a long time, still not believing it: "What?"
Jia Cong pursed his lips: "Actually, I had it very early. My husband told me to give it to me, and later I tried it on our family's Fu'er Meng'er, and it was very effective. I was too young at that time, and no one knew about me.
A gentleman with medical skills. If such an important prescription is revealed casually, I'm afraid it will attract attention. Doesn't the emperor want to establish a prince? I am already eye-catching enough. So I thought I would wait until I grow up..." He scratched his head again.
, looked at Situ Pan in a flattering manner and was speechless.
What else doesn't Situ Pan understand? Forget it when you grow up! He doesn't know whether to laugh or be annoyed. After looking at him for a long time, he poked him with his finger and said, "Let me tell you what you like!"
Jia Cong rubbed his forehead and murmured in a low voice: "I didn't mean it, I just forgot. I haven't encountered anyone infected with smallpox in these years, so I can't remember it. If I had been reminded, I would have remembered it."
Yu Changshun looked at the two of them from the side. It took him a long time to understand what was happening. He was overjoyed, dumbfounded and puzzled at the same time. He advised: "Your Majesty, this is a great thing!"
Situ Pan glanced at him and said, "Don't you know this is a great good thing? It's a coincidence that this kid often forgets important things." He poked him again. Jia Cong winked and looked cute.
Yu Changshun whispered: "Your Majesty, even Westerners have nothing to do with smallpox."
Situ Pan nodded and ordered someone to go to the Imperial Hospital to call someone over. He turned around and told Jia Cong: "Speak clearly to the imperial doctor, Haosheng, and don't forget anything important again."
Jia Cong nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "I'll write it down first."
Seeing that this kid had disappeared, Situ Pan was silent for a moment, then he looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha..."
Feng Ziying and other confidants were still discussing matters. Hearing the sound, he couldn't help but came over and quietly asked Yu Changshun what good things he did. Yu Changshun said in a low voice: "Master Feng, that Mr. Jia Cong is really awesome!"
Feng Ziying immediately smiled and said: "That little guy is very clever."
"You're so clever!" Situ Pan stopped laughing when he saw them approaching, and still grinned, "I never know the difference between seriousness and seriousness! He is just as confused as me."
"Much better than him." Feng Ziying asked hurriedly, "What did the little fool do again?"
Situ Pan signaled to Yu Changshun, who hurriedly told everyone that Jia Cong had a prescription to prevent smallpox. Everyone was surprised and immediately congratulated Situ Pan. Smallpox is a terminal disease, and it is not certain how many people will die every year, especially children. This is
Fang Zi is of great benefit in winning the hearts of the people, and his methods are very good. Situ Pan thought for a while and said: "Cong'er has told me several times that there are many benefits to opening a common people's school like the one in Lu State. I originally thought,
After all, the imperial examination is in Beijing, and it is easier for us to recruit talents than elsewhere, so we didn't agree. Since this guy is recommended, it doesn't cost a lot of money, so let's build it." There is really no big advantage in not guaranteeing all the people.
As soon as he finished speaking, an aide suddenly whispered: "Your Majesty, I heard that Jia Cong helped the King of Shu build a school in the country of Shu last year, will you..."
Feng Ziying said with a smile: "He did that blatantly, and the spies reported here early. Cong'er has always had a heart to help the world, and he will help with anything that is beneficial to the people. And based on this, I concluded that Cong'er didn't notice.
Go to the King of Shu, and I will never run away with him."
The man asked: "How dare Mr. Feng make such a conclusion?"
Feng Ziying hummed: "I watched that kid grow up, and his temperament is very clear. Not only did he make friends with the prince of Shu, but he also made friends with the third son of the king of Shu. He also scolded their fourth or fifth son?
After all, he has met all the sons of the King of Shu. Do you think he dares to make friends with our prince? Even his subordinates wish they could hide as far away as possible after seeing the prince, so that there is no connection at all. That boy is very smart."
Situ Pan suddenly remembered what Zhao Cheng and others had told him about what Jia Cong said when he and the prince's staff visited Rongguo Mansion at night on the eve of Princess Jian'an's wedding - "The prince is in his prime, how many people in Rongguo Mansion and the prince work together to make money for their own personal gain?"
What do you mean?" He also remembered that in the early years when King Chen was still the second prince, he also stayed away from him, and couldn't help but nodded. This boy has never been involved in the matter of seizing the heir, but he made friends with others casually. Looking at this section alone, he didn't know how to do it.
Surrender to the King of Shu. Besides, he has Feng Ziying and Qin Sangu in his hands. If he dares to surrender to someone else, Qin Sangu can also bring him back.
The man asked again: "In that case, should we arrange an official position for him? Or let him take the imperial examination first?"
Situ Pan waved his hand and said: "He is too lazy to take the imperial examination, and he can't stay in the yamen. That kid is only useful in the capital, so why not let him run around and contact various countries. He is sharp-tongued and has a great reputation, so he is more useful than others. Besides, he is more useful than others.
, Ping'an Prefecture, both Guangdong and Guangxi need him to be a liaison, and the Taiwan government cannot do without him." Jia Cong tried out all the new and interesting things from other countries in the Taiwan government, which was safer than trying them directly in Yan State; if not,
It doesn't hurt Yan Guo, whether it's good or not, he has sent a report whether it's good or not. Some of them can be seen in Lin Hai's writing. Although I don't know whether the old man is in poor health and can't walk long distances, or he is unhappy and unwilling to return to Beijing.
He was always doing things for himself. Looking back, I wonder how Jia Lian could have done so well. After all, Lin Hai was the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
The man thought for a moment and then said: "In that case, Mr. Jia Cong is not young anymore. His grandmother has passed the filial piety, and his brother has also gotten married. Shouldn't the prince give him a good marriage?"
Before Situ Pan could think about it, Feng Ziying hurriedly said: "Well... Your Highness, Cong'er has fallen in love with a maid."
"Um?"
"He said he wanted to marry her as a wife." Feng Ziying said with a wry smile, "Look at his appearance."
Situ Pan frowned and said, "Nonsense! How can you marry a maid?"
Feng Ziying said: "I haven't asked him in detail yet, I'll ask him later." Situ Pan nodded.
With the two of them looking like this, no one else dared to say anything. Besides, just based on the intimacy with which Situ Pan talked to Jia Cong just now, as if they were his own juniors, it would be useless to say anything.
Suddenly the imperial doctor came, an old man. Jia Cong asked the family name and said it was Lin. He couldn't help muttering in his heart. Although Lin Luan was not dead at the moment, it would be better not to get involved with their family. He was just pretending.
Jia Cong acted like a person with nothing to do and just called people "Mr. Lin" - anyway, Jia Cong often forgot important things. So he explained in detail to Dr. Lin how to vaccinate against cowpox. Situ Pan was quite curious and called Feng Ziying to come and listen.
Jia Cong recounted in detail what happened before and after his niece and nephew were vaccinated against cowpox, and he patted his chest on the promise that "every time you try it, you will always succeed"! Situ Pan set up the hospital to look for people and cows to try.
On the other side, news came out from Ma Sili in Yinfengju that the boss Wang of the noodle shop in the north of the city was widowed, and the noodle shop was temporarily closed for funeral arrangements. Boss Wang was seriously ill, and two doctors were invited to see her, but to no avail, so he left within a few days.
When Jia Cong heard about it, he asked Shi Lidao: "Did you kill her or did he send the old woman to work elsewhere?"
"The Empress Dowager called back," Shi Li said. "All the internal guards around her were dead, leaving only Boss Wang and his wife. She originally wanted to send the boss's wife back and leave Boss Wang outside. A few days ago,
Situ Pan sent people to the palace to ask the maids, aunts and even the old ladies who wanted to marry in the palace. He guessed that there must be many who wanted to go out and few who were willing to stay. The Empress Dowager was afraid that the landlady would attract attention, so she
Order Boss Wang to return to the palace. After all, there are many eunuchs."
"That's it." Jia Cong said, "On that day, King Yan and I suggested that the women in the palace should be married off, and it seems that he has agreed. I also said that we can fish out the capable eunuchs in the palace to work."
"The King of Yan also has this intention." Shi Li glanced at him, "I heard that someone has been ordered to check those eunuchs and pick out the useful ones."
"Oh, my words really work."
Shi Li snorted: "Don't even look at how much benefit I've given him! Even the cure for cowpox was given to him for free. Aren't you afraid of raising tigers in the future?"
Jia Cong stretched out his arms and drew a big circle in the air: "Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and the era of cold weapons will soon pass. Besides, if Situ Pan's men make good use of biological weapons, they will save much more energy than fighting a war.
"The population of our dynasty is more valuable than anything else." After waiting for a while, Shi Li said nothing, and he asked again, "Will the little widow in the noodle shop be responsible for the Empress Dowager's affairs outside the palace from now on?"
"Yes." Shi Li said, "Ma Sili has already acquired Yinfengju and is slowly clearing out his books. But the boss's wife is still above him and doesn't dare to act too recklessly."
Jia Cong thought for a while: "If I kill her, I'm afraid the palace will be alarmed. Do you have a suitable man to seduce her? She has been holding back in the palace her whole life, and finally got out of the palace, pretending to be a fake couple with a eunuch.
"
Shi Li smiled and said: "I have also thought about this method. I just don't plan to send anyone to seduce her. I just go through the motions."
"Why don't you wait a moment?" Jia Cong said. "She is a beautiful little widow who runs a small business alone in the market. She is easily targeted by idle men and scoundrels. When she easily gets rid of these idle men and scoundrels, she will not be able to protect them all."
Is there any person with unique vision who has taken a liking to her? I prefer to stand on the dry shore."
Shi Li glanced at him: "Someone has taken a liking to her, you know her."
"who?"
Shi Li said slowly: "The grandson of Li Guofu." (..)
