Jia Cong's novel gradually becomes more exciting as the storyline deepens, and becomes increasingly popular in the capital...
After Pig's Feet left Yangzhou and began to wander around the world, his strength improved by leaps and bounds, and he was able to upgrade and fight monsters with ease, which made book fans intoxicated and happy.
From the second-rate level when he left Yangzhou, it took less than a year to move thousands of miles and be promoted to the first-rate level. Then after three days and three nights of fighting with a certain martial arts tycoon, he was finally successfully promoted to the ranks of super-first-rate masters.
This wave of plots is all about fighting and almost sweeping the southern martial arts world.
Even if you encounter a strong opponent, you can break through and win in the end. In short, you can do it as you please.
Of course, a lot of descriptions of the turbulent situation in the Sui Dynasty at that time were also included.
The country is in turmoil, the government is unstable, wars are everywhere, people are struggling to survive, and powerful people from all walks of life are rebelling. The so-called Eighteenth Route rebels against the king are just green forest powerful people.
Because Pigfoot had served as a captain in the imperial army, although he was invited by various anti-king forces from time to time, he had no intention of joining and refused them all. For this reason, he even met several anti-king soldiers and became enemies.
This kind of "loyalty" character is still in line with the mainstream values in Daqing, and is naturally recognized by book fans.
Of course, during this period, Pigfoot didn't think about pulling the pole, and he also smuggled salt and did some gray business with friends he met when he was in a gang.
Unfortunately, most of the profits from smuggling private salt are controlled by aristocratic families. No matter how hard Zhuji and his brothers work, in the end they just make hard money, and sometimes they end up losing everything.
At this time, the plot describes how a group of aristocratic families monopolizes various profit-making industries, and it is full of genuine materials.
Many methods are suitable for Daqing at present, but they have caused quite a stir.
For this reason, Huiyou Bookstore endured a lot of pressure in advance. Fortunately, the Prince of Chu arrived in time to take charge, which stabilized the bookstore's situation and people's hearts.
"Sure enough, that kid Jia Cong is really good at twisting things. He makes people jump all over the place every time. I don't know how he survives safely?"
In front of the shopkeeper of the bookstore, Si Ding, the crown prince of King Chu, complained unceremoniously: "Don't some plots need to be written in such detail?"
"But if you don't write it in detail, how can book fans have such an eye-opening and shocking feeling?"
Huan San entered the door at this time, strode over and explained casually: "This is what the boss said before, it is to have such a shocking description!"
"That's quite true!"
The Crown Prince of Chu chuckled and said, "Even my Crown Prince, I was shocked when I heard about it for the first time. I didn't expect that the guys outside are so dark!"
"According to the boss, there is only blacker, not the blackest!"
Huan San sat next to him and said with a smile: "In order to pursue huge profits, we will not hesitate to kill people and set fires, let alone those extremely overbearing monopoly methods!"
"Yes, if it weren't for the detailed description in this book, I would still know nothing about these things. It's time to learn a lot!"
Si Ding shook his head and sighed: "I just don't know what I will think after hearing the plot now."
"Do you still listen to the boss now?"
Huan San couldn't help being surprised and said curiously: "That shouldn't be the case. Doesn't it mean that with so many things going on these days, there is no time for recreation at all?"
"How can it be?"
Si Ding said with a smile: "We are human today, and we also have times when we are tired and tired. Naturally, we also need to relax and have a good rest. Listening to it is a good pastime!"
At this time, the mood is certainly not happy.
Naturally, he also listened to Jia Cong's latest, and he had listened to it with gusto before. However, when one piece of dirty information was revealed one after another, and many of the tricks were equally useful in Daqing, his mood was not so good.
In his opinion, the reason why Jia Cong was able to write in such detail must be because he knew many things outside, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.
After listening to this, he also had a clearer and deeper understanding of how dark the guys outside are, there is only darker, not the darkest!
What makes Jin Jin even more angry is that it is obvious that these people who are crazy about making money are local tycoons and so-called aristocratic families, but the government and Jin Jin are responsible for the final infamy!
The fire in my heart couldn't help but murderous intent. Now I didn't hesitate to call the leader of the Ouchi secret agent and asked him to conduct a targeted investigation according to the plot description to see if the guy below is so rampant?
The leader of the secret agents Ouchi was quite depressed. In fact, he already had the answer in his mind, but he did not dare to expose it in front of today, otherwise he would not be able to explain it clearly.
In my heart, I was quite dissatisfied with Jia Cong for causing trouble, but I could do nothing about this kid.
Everyone has gone to the tiger and wolf den in Jiangnan. Even if he wants to use his methods, he can't do anything. He can't target Rong Mansion. It will have no effect.
…
At the same time, Jia Cong, who followed Lin Ruhai to Suzhou, lived a very free and easy life.
Lin Ruhai is very familiar with the situation in Jiangnan, especially in Huaiyang.
After all, the Lin family in Gusu is a local wealthy family. Although they have been in five servers with Lin Ruhai for a long time, it is nothing to contact them. They are more confident about Lin Ruhai's control over Gusu and the surrounding situation.
In a short period of time, Lin Ruhai basically controlled the governor's Yamen and established basic authority to the outside world.
Under such circumstances, Jia Cong, the prospective son-in-law, could completely act as the son-in-law, and he was naturally promoted to the first son-in-law of Huaiyang.
In addition to Xue Pan and a pair of young princes from the Shi family, he soon had a bunch of young masters around him, all of whom were children of local officials.
Not to mention fawning over you, at least the information is very well-informed.
After Lin Ruhai secured his position as governor, he began to slowly adjust Huaiyang's people's livelihood and economy, and worked hard to be a second-grade parent official.
As for the tasks arranged today, they are all currently in the hands of Jia Cong.
It's not that he is irresponsible, but it's simply not a good time to target the Zhen family right now. Even now, he doesn't dare to act rashly.
The emperor is not dead yet. Is it too disrespectful to rush to deal with the veteran family that rose up during the emperor's time?
Under such circumstances, it would be no problem for Jia Cong to take over the early pioneering work. As long as he didn't go out of his way, he could do whatever he wanted.
Then, under the leadership of a group of local princes, Jia Cong saw the prosperity of Huaiyang, and most importantly, met several large merchants.
Daqing does not prohibit the sea, but the risks at sea are extremely high. Not only the weather factors, but also the appearance of many red barbarians and more pirates make going to sea a very risky and dangerous business.
Of course, this is a widely circulated statement among the people in Huaiyang, and Jia Cong will never believe it.
Just kidding, don't think he doesn't know that Daqing's maritime trade is basically controlled by some maritime merchant families along the coast. Even the imperial court can't do much and can only set up a few municipal shipping departments to collect taxes.
Of course, Jia Cong did not deliberately explore the secrets. He just followed the introduction of the local young masters and met several young masters from Dahai merchants.
On the other hand, he also maintained very close contact with Lian Er, the new prefect of Jinling, exchanging letters almost every day.
The situation in Jinling is much more complicated than in Suzhou.
The four major families, as well as the Zhen family, as well as some miscellaneous forces that may seem inconspicuous but may not be small at all. Just sorting out the relationships among them is enough to keep Lian Er busy for a while.
During this period, the Zhen family behaved quite normally, as if they were unaware of Lian Er's true purpose of becoming the prefect of Jinling, and their relationship with Lian Er was handled quite well.
Ahem, I received 30,000 taels of silver in benefits just after I took office, how could I do so poorly?
However, Lian Shiteng was not happy with the old bones of the Jia clan in Jinling for relying on their elders and selling them off. Wang Xifeng almost had a fierce conflict with them.
This is also the reason why Jia Cong is not willing to stay in Jinling. Facing a group of clan elders, he can't always act tough, right? Does he still need a reputation?
In short, both Lin Ruhai and Lian Er had a pretty good time when they first took office, and all the forces were obviously still in the exploratory stage.
While still floating on the boat, Jia Cong made a suggestion, that is, after finding out the local situation, contact the head of the Zhen family first to try to take the initiative.
It's true that they have their own plans, but they don't have to follow the baton of today. Can they be flexible and adapt appropriately?
For example, inform the Zhen family in advance so that the wise people of the Zhen family can let go as soon as possible. Don't hold on to the power and money in Jiangnan tightly. When it's time to let go, you must let go in time.
If nothing else, there will definitely be huge differences within the Zhen family. When the time comes, the rationalists and conservatives will take the initiative. As long as there is chaos within the Zhen family, no matter whether they help secretly or use thunderous means, there will be no resistance and risks.
Much smaller.
It is better than fighting to the death with the Zhen family who are united and stubborn, and then being pushed out by Jin Jin to be the unlucky guy who calms down the anger of all the forces in Jiangnan.
There is still some time now, so there is no need to be too impatient.
During this period, some inexplicable things happened.
For example, someone suddenly falls to death at home, or falls into the water and dies inexplicably, and there are all kinds of weird ways of death.
The key point is that these dead guys were not far from the governor's office, and they were all young and strong men who had recently moved there. Judging from their body shape, they were not ordinary young and strong men.
The local government office in Gusu was very depressed, but when Jia Cong heard the news, he knew for a fact that they were all malicious things.
As a result, they bumped into him, the son of luck, and then suffered the backlash of luck. They were completely ruined without even seeing each other. They were really a bunch of unlucky people.
It wasn't until he heard that a big salt merchant in Yangzhou who had survived the previous turmoil suddenly died of drunkenness at his family's banquet. This sudden incident of inexplicable deaths within a few miles of the surrounding area slowly disappeared.
.
At this time, as he returned to the capital and entered the stage of high dynasty, a certain force suddenly became the target of public criticism...
