Jia Cong encouraged Situ Cen and his niece to join forces to evade the prince of Shu. Situ Cen immediately shouted: "How outrageous!" Jia Cong jumped back with his legs together, smiling like a lucky cat. Situ Cen paused, "Don't do it.
Say such things again."
"Okay, okay, if you don't say it, don't say it!" Jia Cong raised his right hand, "Don't shout so loudly, I'm timid and I don't need to be scared." Situ Cen glared at him. Jia Cong looked around, "Well... the sun is really bright tonight.
Yuanha! I didn’t say anything just now.”
Situ Cen picked up his feet and walked to the courtyard. There were stars and a crescent moon in the sky. Jia Cong followed him out. After a while, Situ Cen asked: "What do you want to do to me?"
"Prosperity, democracy, civilization, and the rule of law. These are all empty words. To put it simply, it is to give everyone the opportunity to study and improve, not just to the gentry. Naturally, this cannot be fair. For example, people's talents vary greatly, and teaching
The level of teachers may be high or low, and those with high talents may not be as good as those with weak virtues. But it is still better than now."
Situ Cen said: "The derby is the most important thing."
"If a man is virtuous, then he is talented? As a prince, don't you think this is too ironic?"
Situ Cen glanced at him and said: "Of course this cannot be done when promoting officials. It is said that both virtue and talent are valued, but talent is much more important than virtue. For ordinary people except officials, virtue is more important than talent. I think this is common sense."
"That can't be too outrageous. If an official is as unethical as Jia Yucun, it will hurt the people too much. Not to mention the disaster of party strife in the officialdom. The example of the previous dynasty is obvious. Regardless of whether the party is right or wrong, the Ming Dynasty will be dismantled.
As long as the public opinion is properly guided, it can only be a good thing for the people to be talented. After all, there are few geniuses and many ordinary IQs. There are few general talents and many professional talents. In the past dynasties, because the territory had to be so big, they did not expand and stayed in one place.
, gradually suppressed so many laws in history books. Now that you can go abroad, many of the previous laws have been abolished. You yourself said, I am afraid that the people of Shu will all flee to Yan. If you were in the previous dynasty, even if you encountered injustice
Where can you run if you are dissatisfied? Not everyone has the ability to be a pirate. You know all this in your heart, why bother asking me to explain it again." Jia Cong raised his eyes and glanced at him, "It's just your family.
We can no longer openly and openly rob people of their property and seize their women."
Situ Cen immediately said: "How could I have robbed people's property and taken their daughters?"
"You didn't," Jia Cong said, "but according to the current law, you can. Being able to do it but not doing it, and not being allowed to do it are two different things."
Situ Cen was silent for a long time, and then he sighed: "I had read so many books in Dajiala, so I had a vague idea of what you wanted to do."
"It's not hidden, in fact you already understood it very well at that time."
"If I can't, you can't either."
"Well... it's not impossible. From complete exploitation to surplus value, or less exploitation of surplus value, people can have the motivation to work. For example, a slave can make five hundred dollars' worth of work a day.
A worker might be able to make something worth a penny. Slave, if I don’t pay him a wage, I still have to spend twenty dollars to support him. A worker, I’ll give him a wage of two hundred dollars to support himself, and I’ll still have eight hundred dollars left.
Isn't it more than 480 yuan? I gave him 300 yuan. When he was happy, he worked hard tomorrow and made something worth 200 yuan. Tomorrow I can get 900 yuan. Have you done the math?
No."
Situ Cen was silent for a moment: "What if future generations fail to live up to expectations?"
The corner of Jia Cong's mouth twitched: "How new! As for the children of your emperor's family, is it safer to change the law or not to change the law? Situ Cen, let me tell you, if I hadn't intervened, you would have died long ago." Situ Cen was stunned. Jia Cong was stunned.
Cong said, "You go back and ask your father. If Jarvis hadn't given him the idea of the kings uniting, would you and the emperors and uncles have joined forces? If they didn't join forces, how could they drive a wedge between the Supreme Emperor and King Yan? If they didn't separate them in time, how could they?
Will the next four generals rebel against the capital? If your third uncle takes over the military and political power without incident, the first one to be eliminated will be your Prince Ning’s Mansion - you, I, occupy the military glory. There will be no unbroken eggs under the overthrow of the nest, you Situ Cen
Ordinary people wouldn’t survive until now.”
Situ Cen frowned and thought for a long time, then nodded and said: "Yes, that's true. I have to thank General Jia." Jia Cong hummed twice proudly. Situ Cen said again, "From what I have seen over the years, General Jarvis does not seem to be good at it."
You were too young to come up with such an idea."
"It's not my idea," Jia Cong said, "it's the idea of Lin Daiyu, the Prime Minister of Yan State."
Situ Cen was shocked: "What?!"
Jia Cong spread his hands: "You know why I want to use her as my prime minister. She is really a talent."
Situ Cen suddenly felt a chill running down his spine, and after a while he murmured: "Lin Hai actually raised such a daughter... If she marries the second prince, there is a 90% chance that she will get the hen Si Chen."
Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "She looks down on the second prince, thank you."
Situ Cen thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I really don't like him." After thinking for a long time, he said dejectedly, "Even if I knew what she was capable of, I still wouldn't be able to get this woman into our camp." Jia Congpi
He couldn't stop laughing. Situ Cen looked at him a few more times and said, "It's the same with you. Even if I knew earlier, I still wouldn't be able to get it."
Jia Cong excused himself and said: "I am a rebellious person by nature. I don't want to kneel, and I don't like to be kneeled by others. In order to keep my knees on the ground day and night, I can only try my best to overturn the rules of this country. Fortunately, besides me, there are also
There is a group of people who are as unwilling to kneel as I am. Otherwise, even if I am exhausted, I may not be able to accomplish anything." Nai raised his head and looked at the stars and moon in the sky, "Acen, don't you think you feel comfortable when no one kneels down?"
Situ Cen said: "My temperament is really comfortable. My father doesn't feel that way. He likes people to kneel down."
Jia Cong smiled and patted his shoulder: "Why don't I like you the most?"
Situ Cen shook his head, and the two of them became silent again.
After standing for a long time, Jia Cong's mood was gone. He looked sideways at Situ Cen's uncertain face, smiled secretly, and turned around to sit back inside. But at this moment, someone sent a post outside. Jia Cong took the post and entered the room.
When he saw it, his sister-in-law's dim sum shop was opening in three days, and he was invited to join in the fun. He smiled and said to the visitor: "Tell the person who sent the post that I will go to support you." He paused, "But I'm just making a sign.
In the past, I just pretended to be an ordinary diner." Menzi agreed and left.
Situ Cen came over curiously and poked his head in. Jia Cong said: "A dim sum chef with very good skills is going to open a shop. I will go there often to buy dim sum to eat in the future."
Situ Cen looked at the pattern and handwriting on the post and said with a smile: "Which pastry chef delivers a post to the Prince Regent at night?"
Jia Cong glanced at him: "I've thought too much. This aunt understands it quite well."
"Since you said it's delicious, I'll try it too." Situ Cen took the post and looked at the address, "Jiuxiangzhai?"
Jia Cong immediately asked: "What do you think of this store name?"
"What? Isn't it just an ordinary store name?"
"I think it's tacky." Jia Cong curled his lips, "The streets are full of names like this."
Situ Cen glanced at him: "Aren't all dim sum shops called these?"
Jia Cong also glanced back: "They are not the same kind."
Three days later, Grandma Sixth Aunt of the Chen family opened her snack shop. Although it was not big, it was bustling with lion dancers and stilt walkers. Grandma Sixth Aunt smiled and ordered people to scatter candies to the children nearby, and gave them
Sir, please try some snacks. Jia Cong and Situ Cen stood at the door pretending to be ordinary spectators, and got two pieces.
When Situ Cen tasted it, he praised it repeatedly: "It melts in your mouth, it's really well made."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "I told you that the pastry chef's skills are good."
Situ Cen glanced at him: "This boss is so beautiful. How do you recognize beautiful women?" He glanced at Sixth Aunt Grandma a few more times and said, "For such a daughter-in-law, her man is willing to let her out in public?"
Jia Cong said: "She is a widow. She just left her husband's family last month and established a female household." Situ Cen's eyes suddenly lit up. Jia Cong kicked him, "It was her husband's family who couldn't live with her and paid back the dowry."
I gave it away after paying for it. Otherwise, no one would be able to lose face during the lawsuit."
"Where's your mother's family?"
"My mother-in-law's family conspired with her husband's family, and this aunt was deceived quite badly. Fortunately, she has her own skills."
"If that's the case, why is she still wearing mourning?"
"Ah? Is there any?"
"Yes! I have white flowers on my temples."
"That's not right, her man has been dead for two or three years." Jia Cong felt strange and looked over at Sixth Aunt's grandma. He saw her turning around and actually arranging white flowers. "Who else is dead?" I haven't heard of it.
There is a funeral in the Qi State Mansion...
Just as I was thinking about it, the bustle outside was over, the guys let the customers go inside the store, and Jia Cong and Situ Cen also walked in. Just as they crossed the threshold, they saw another person coming in from the other door, it was Qiu Sheng. Jia
Cong waved: "Hey, Lao Qiu, are you here too?"
Qiu Sheng hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Wang...Mr. Zhou."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Thanks to your uncle for helping to testify that day, otherwise the Chen family would not have been able to get so much compensation even if they escaped, and they would not have been able to open such a big shop. Thank you very much to him."
Qiu Sheng said: "My uncle feels guilty..." He suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at Jia Cong, "Who are Mr. Zhou and Chen Dong's family?"
Jia Cong blinked, turned around and asked Situ Cen: "Can you guess what Mr. Chen's relationship is with me?"
Situ Cen was looking at the furnishings in the store. Hearing this, he looked up at Sixth Aunt Grandma and suddenly smiled: "Why didn't I see it just now? She looks very much like your wife, and her surname is Chen."
Jia Cong nodded: "This is my sister-in-law, please show your support~~"
Looking back, Qiu Sheng was stunned: "Mr. Wang...Zhou, she, she, she is..."
"Yes!" Jia Cong patted Qiu Sheng on the shoulder, "Thank you for your support. This owner's skills in making dim sum are really good. I guarantee you will eat it twice." Qiu Sheng opened his mouth and couldn't close it.
While it was busy, a young grandma came in. The maid next to her held a baby, and they were all smiling. Grandma Sixth aunt hurriedly greeted her and went in hand in hand with the grandma. The two talked for a while, and Grandma Sixth aunt came from the maid's side.
He took the baby in his hand and pointed at the snacks displayed in the store to coax him. The child was too young to eat snacks and could only look around.
The shop was not small, and Jia Cong and the other three began to look at the goods. Jia Cong was greedy and pointed at the snacks on the shelves and ordered the servants following him to buy this and that. Situ Cen had just tasted a piece and knew that their family was really good at making it.
Not bad, pick it up too.
Suddenly, I heard a big commotion outside, and a dozen women in Tsing Yi rolled up their sleeves and rushed in. The leader looked around for a few times, snorted heavily, and shouted: "This is it!" As soon as he finished speaking, an old woman walked in from outside.
, hair covered with silver hair, leaning on a cane, supporting a maid of 18 years old.
I saw the grandma who had just been welcomed by the sixth aunt in person, with a surprised look on her face. She put down her ideas and took a few steps quickly: "Why is your wife here?"
The old woman sneered and said, "If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known you had gone to heaven!"
The leading lady shouted: "Smash it!" After saying that, she raised her arms and swept towards the shelves.
Who is Jia Cong? Can he allow people to destroy food in front of him? Let alone the delicious food. Although the soldiers beside him pretend to be ordinary guests, their professionalism is unmatched by others, and they can see it early.
This wave of women came with bad intentions, and one of them was standing next to the leader. As soon as she raised her arm, the soldiers stepped forward to block the shelf, raised their hands to hold it up, and stretched out their legs to rush towards her.
The mother-in-law was kicked on the waist. The mother-in-law fell to the ground with a "plop". The people around her clapped their hands and applauded with "coax-".
Jia Cong walked out from behind the crowd with his hands behind his back: "Why do you think there is no royal law in this capital?"
The maid immediately shouted: "Madam! Adulterer! This must be an adulterer!"
Jia Cong was stunned: "Huh?"
Those women immediately shouted: "Adulterer! Adulterer!"
With a dark face, Jia Cong took out a musket from his arms and pushed the trigger. There was a "bang" sound, and the barrel of the gun smoked. The store fell into silence like a kite entering a flock of pigeons. Jia Cong said angrily: "I am loyal to my wife.
Geng Geng Ke Zhao Sun and Moon, where did you women come from to make such lies and slander my king's innocence?" Everyone looked at each other and dared not speak.
Then I heard a sharp "Brother-in-law~~" from behind. Grandma Liu Gu ran out: "Brother-in-law! Who is this! Didn't you say that the public security in Beijing is the best and there are no gangsters to cause trouble?"
Jia Cong saw that the lady's face was as golden as paper, and her hands and feet were trembling slightly. He glanced at her and the other women and said, "Where is this ruffian? She is obviously a stupid woman from some unknown family who has been deceived by some talkative woman.
, they don’t even know what’s going on and they come here to cause trouble.”
While they were talking, the grandmother knelt down and said, "Mr. Yao, a commoner woman, pays homage to the Prince Regent." When the old woman heard the word "Prince Regent," she collapsed in the maid's arms. The maid's legs also became weak.
, shivering and unable to hold her up, the two of them managed to hold her up before falling down.
Jia Cong waved his hand: "It doesn't have to be like this. In a few days, I will abolish the ceremony of kneeling and worshiping. "
Her sister-in-law hurriedly stepped forward to help her friend up: "What did I say? Soon we won't have this gift anymore."
When Jia Cong heard her calling herself "Yao", he thought about it, pointed at the old woman and asked, "Whose woman are you from? Do you recognize this stupid woman?"
The Yao family lowered her head and said, "She is a civilian woman... her maiden name is Yao, her husband's surname is Xu, and that lady is the mother-in-law of a civilian woman. I think there is some misunderstanding today."
Jia Cong couldn't help but take a look at this Yao family. It was not a glamorous one. Although she had just given birth to a child, her figure was fat, her demeanor was still as elegant as orchid, and her eyebrows were a bit like Li Wan's when he was young. No wonder Jia Lan liked it.
He sneered and said, "It's not a misunderstanding. Mr. Yao, who did you offend in your backyard? It's obvious that someone deliberately deceived you today. The information was wrong and that's why you didn't get deceived."
