The outer sea area is very large, and there is a lot of territory available for occupation!
Since Prince Yizhong was interested and adding him wouldn't be much of a problem, the eldest master naturally did not reject the idea of joining.
Therefore, Prince Yi Zhong also built a fleet and began to learn how to sail the Southeast Asia route, with the tentative target being Guawa Island. He was also arrogant, so naturally he would not crowd in the same place with Prince Zhongshun to compete for food.
Unfortunately, I don't know if I noticed something now, or if someone has been coveting the position of the elder for a long time. After the elder served as the chief envoy of Jiangsu Province for three years, he received an order from the imperial court to serve as the left minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Now, it's fun.
The second son of the government, whom I haven't seen for a long time, is still in his position as a foreign minister of the Ministry of Industry. I just don't know how he will face his immediate boss, the elder?
By the way, the eldest man had served in Jiangsu province for almost five years. He had offended many people and had few friends, and he had nothing to cherish. The transfer order from the capital immediately packed up the bedrolls and took the family directly on the official ship to leave.
Unexpectedly, the news was leaked, and hundreds of people came to the canal pier to see him off. No matter how touching the scene was, he was not interested in paying attention to it. He was just happy that after five years of hard work, it was not a failure.
Standing at the stern of the official ship, watching the dense crowd of people on the pier turn into villains and finally disappear, he felt quite dumbfounded.
Yes, the great master’s enthusiasm for the common people is quite amusing.
It is estimated that many people secretly thought of him. During the three years he had been in charge of Jiangsu Province, he had inexplicable thoughts from time to time. He sensed them with his concentrated mental power and was able to vaguely hear the gratitude of many people from these thoughts.
recite.
What's even more amazing is that after accidentally absorbing a few thoughts like this, he magically sensed his own soul and felt a little bit more comfortable?
But that night, the elder, who never dreamed, actually had a dream for the first time. It seemed that the voices of people chanting came to his ears all the time, which made him so annoyed that he almost cursed.
After careful consideration and careful review of the collected Buddhist and Taoist cultivation information, I instantly realized that this should be one of the rumored incense ideas, and I was immediately frightened and did not dare to touch it easily.
After that, he spent a lot of energy to expel the incense power that was inadvertently absorbed by the soul, and restored his pure and clean body, but he was insensitive to the kindness of the people.
But later, as Jiangsu Province's economic boom benefited more and more people, and the scope became wider and wider, the elder was depressed to find that there were more and more thoughts of such incense around him, completely submerging him in all kinds of gratitude.
In the thought of incense.
He was so frightened that for a while, he didn't even dare to temper his soul easily. Fortunately, these incense thoughts from the people's gratitude could not survive for too long, and they would disappear inexplicably in the world within a few days. But even the master's plan to temper his soul could not
been greatly affected.
Fortunately, the people did not build a shrine for him. Otherwise, in this life in the world of Red Mansions, it would be impossible for him to refine his soul, and he would have to always block the idea of incense coming from a large number of people.
But that's it. With the elder's keen spiritual perception, whether he is at home or out to inspect places, there is quite a scene where gods come to the world to ward off evil and change. Wherever he goes, he can no longer sense the slightest smell of evil and filth.
In short, during the three years he was in charge of Jiangsu Province, he was very indifferent to the people's spontaneous gratitude, but he had no good way to stop it.
Fortunately, now that I am about to escape from the 'sea of suffering', I can finally breathe a sigh of relief and pick up the method of mental training again to become the legendary 'Big Master Brand Flying Knife'.
"Father, father, my sister bullied me again!"
Just as he was about to return to the cabin, a young boy with handsome features and a half-to-half resemblance to the old man ran up from the deck. He ran over angrily and complained.
"Shame, shame, shame. If you can't beat your sister, you will come to your father to complain. Jia Cong, are you ashamed?"
At this time, a little girl about ten years old with round eyes, bright eyes and white teeth also ran over, shaved her face at the young boy who complained, and said with a smile: "Father, don't listen to his nonsense. We just had a routine sparring match. As a result, my little brother
Got hit!"
"Why, were you knocked to the ground by your sister again?"
The elder smiled and said teasingly: "You are not short, and your hands are as strong as your sister. Why do you always suffer during sparring?"
The little girl was giggling with a proud look on her face, while the little boy lowered his head and was so depressed that he almost burst into tears.
How did he know what was going on? Every time they sparred, he was always confused and confused by the Yin Jin in his sister's hands. He had almost realized whether Ming Jin was good or not. According to his father, he was a little master.
Looking at the pair of children in front of him, namely ten-year-old Yingchun and seven-year-old Jia Cong, the elder was very satisfied. These two have been practicing boxing since they were young. Although they are both exercises-based boxing like Rouquan, they can persist.
After a few years, with the help of the great master himself, Yingchun actually understood the dark power method directly.
Even Jia Cong, a young man, has quickly understood the essence of Ming Jin. Both of them are very talented, and Yingchun's martial arts talent is even more extraordinary. I don't know if it's because of his background.
"Father, will you be able to see cousin Daiyu after you return to the capital?"
After laughing and joking for a while, the little girl Yingchun changed the topic and looked at the old man with a little excitement on her face. Jia Cong next to her also opened her eyes wide, with little stars in her eyes.
Obviously, the year they spent together with Daiyu left a very deep impression on the two little guys.
The most important thing is that Daiyu and the two little guys, who have been far away in the capital for the past three years, have kept in touch through letters from time to time, and their relationship has been maintained quite well. Every time they mention Daiyu in the capital, she is happy and excited.
"That's natural!"
The elder nodded solemnly and said with a smile, "But you two have to work hard. Daiyu has not only understood the secret method, but she is also a well-known talented girl in the capital. If you don't study hard, you won't be able to keep up with Daiyu in the future.
!”
"Humph, I have read a lot of books, even the Four Books and Five Classics. I can also write poems and lyrics!"
The little girl Yingchun looked arrogant, glanced sideways at Jia Cong with her big watery eyes, and said disdainfully: "There is just a certain boy who is still reading the Four Books and Five Classics, but I don't know if he has read it thoroughly?"
"Sister, don't be proud, I will definitely try my best to surpass you in the future!"
Jia Cong's little face flushed red, and he glared angrily at the triumphant little Spring Festival girl. His little face was full of grievances and depression. He really wanted to hold his father's lap and cry bitterly.
"Okay, okay, you two, stop trying to undermine each other!"
The eldest man really couldn't laugh or cry. He rubbed the heads of his children and said with a smile, "Even if I can't compare to your cousin Daiyu, I'm still better than my peers in Su Province, okay?"
After some coaxing, the two little ones who were so cross-eyed just now were really happy, and they quickly ran back to the cabin without knowing what they were doing.
He shook his head and sighed in his heart, saying that the talent of a famous daughter in the world of Red Mansions is really not a joke.
Not to mention Daiyu, she is definitely a genius among geniuses. She is very quick to learn both civil and military skills, and she has mastered the skills at a young age. The reputation of a young talented girl in the capital as he said before is not to fool a pair of children.
There is also Yingchun. In terms of martial arts, the elder has personally taught him. At the age of ten, he has already understood the secret method of An Jin. It is only a matter of time before he can use An Jin to introduce the Ming Jin method.
Not only that, she is also very talented in studying literature.
Except for a few full-time laymen, the staff around the eldest master were all noble people. They took the time to teach Yingchun and Jia Cong to learn literature. Yingchun's learning progress and comprehension ability were so strong that even those talented staff members
They were all full of praise.
I don’t know if he is really talented, but Yingchun is particularly good at chess. At a young age, he has already mastered chess skills. Even when playing against famous chess players from Jiangsu Province, he can play well and skillfully. From time to time, he has flashes of inspiration.
Although people who are good at chess cannot be said to be good at making suggestions, their thinking habits of playing chess make it quite easy for them to develop talents in this area.
The elder often takes Yingchun on inspection tours, secretly cultivating her ability in this area, and the results are very good. She has seen a lot of the world outside, and sometimes the suggestions she makes are quite reliable, and she has a long-term perspective.
Of course, the eldest master has no intention of training Yingchun to be a conspirator, but only to train her to be more thoughtful and thoughtful, so as to avoid being plotted and suffered a loss in the future.
The younger son Jia Cong seems to be less talented than his elder sister Yingchun in both literary studies and martial arts, but his performance cannot be said to be bad. Among his peers from the Jiangnan generation, he may only be weaker than those so-called heirs of poetry and calligraphy.
A little, but still considered the best.
Only Yingchun can be compared, and it seems that his talent is average. However, this kid knows how to work hard and make progress. I believe that it won't be long before he will make considerable progress in both civil and military studies.
The elder didn’t expect his children to have much future, but he just wanted to cultivate their interest in learning so that they could at least learn the skills to survive in a complex society and live a prosperous life.
Of course, given the current situation of the eldest father, it is impossible for his two children to live a good life, but they cannot be allowed to become arrogant and complacent. It would be bad if they become uneducated and unskilled.
Not only did the eldest man and his family take a leisurely trip to Beijing on an official ship, but also when the Rongguo Mansion in the capital learned that the eldest man was about to return to Beijing to serve as a high-ranking official, it immediately caused a chaos.
There was no expression on Jia Mu's face, but she was quite happy in her heart. Rongguo Mansion had been silent for too long, and it just needed a pillar like the eldest master to come back to support the facade.
Lian Er and Wang Xifeng were overjoyed. When the eldest master returned home to take charge, their life would be much easier, at least they would not have to suffer any inexplicable bird anger.
Only Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang in the second room are unhappy. As soon as the eldest master comes back, life in the second room will be difficult...
