Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 1003
The atmosphere in Rongqing Hall was rather tense.

"Brother Rong, are you looking down on Rong Mansion's strength?"

The old lady's face was full of displeasure, and she even looked at Jia Rong with some unkind eyes.

Jia Rong was speechless. She wanted to give everyone in Rongfu a step up, but she didn't want the old lady to be ungrateful, so she just said it straight.

"There are no ships in Rongfu!"

"You can buy it. You can buy it in Haichuanrong Mansion on the Jiangnan side!"

"Can the Rong Mansion raise enough supplies?"

"It's a joke, with Rong Mansion's momentum, if you can't even raise supplies, what face do you have to gain a foothold in the capital?"

"Are there any warriors in the Rong Mansion who fight against the wind and waves and fight in the open sea?"

Jia Rong said calmly: "You must know that the climate in the open sea is changeable, and there will be rough seas at every turn. Ships may be destroyed and people may die at any time!"

"Is there such a thing in the Rong Mansion?"

"This……"

The old lady was a little hesitant for a moment, and her upright aura suddenly let go.

Looking at the few people who are doing it, there is no need to count on it at all.

"Over there in the Ning Mansion, who are you using?"

"There are clansmen, of course the ones who decide are the family-born children cultivated by the Ning Mansion!"

"Narong Mansion can also send a family to have a child to be the master!"

"I don't know which steward in the mansion, or the housekeeper Lai?"

Jia Rong smiled and said, "Old lady, it's best to make it clear in advance that risks and benefits are bundled together!"

"Not only are the seas high and rough, but there may also be conflicts with the local aboriginals and other forces. These must be made clear!"

"Otherwise, if you are not mentally prepared, unexpected situations may occur once you encounter something. This is not a joke!"

After speaking, the old lady's face changed.

Every now and then, the ship crashes, the people die and the fire merges, which is really exciting.

The old lady was getting old, and she couldn't hear these things, so she waved her hand impatiently and said, "You don't need to remind, the old lady will take care of it!"

Jia Rong didn't take it seriously, just smiled and said goodbye.

If Rong Mansion really sent a monk from Shanse to give birth to a son to go to the sea to fight hard, he would not say anything, anyway, he reminded everything that should be reminded.

As for whether the other party had the courage to go to sea, and whether they had the luck to come back alive, it was none of Jia Rong's business.

As a result, as expected, there was no such thing as the Rong Mansion after that.

Jia Rong didn't mean to ridicule, the situation in Rongfu was just like that, and it was easy to figure out how they would choose.

There is no need to count on Master She and Second Master Zheng, and Lian Er and Jia Zhu will not let their official positions go to sea to do business.

As for Jia Baoyu, who has reached the age of fifteen, he is still a child in the eyes of the old lady and Mrs. Wang, and he cannot take responsibility at all.

Brothers Jia Huan and Jia Cong have the courage and the ability to make ideas, but unfortunately the mansion will not give them a chance to stand out.

Just kidding, Jia Baoyu is not in his early years, so what are the two bastards?
If it wasn't for the strict rules in the clan, it would be a dream for the two brothers to go to school smoothly and study at ease.

The Rong Mansion's own family can't be counted on, and the clansmen who have swept through the houses to take refuge are all incompetent masters.

A thing like Jia Qin is one of the few clansmen headed by the Zunrong Mansion.

But can he be counted on?
In other words, Jia Qin still has such an idea to break in, and the rest of the family members don't even have the courage and determination to make a move.

As for their next generation, they are promising in studying and practicing martial arts, but how could the Rong Mansion hand over sea-going ships worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of taels to young people to take the lead.

Then I can only start to have children at home. Unfortunately, after hearing Jia Rong's remarks, the children who were originally very active in the family suddenly fell silent.

Especially the senior managers, they were not even willing to hang out in front of the old lady if it was not necessary, for fear of being called by name.

They are just rampant in the mansion, using the name of the Rong Mansion outside to scare ordinary people and low-level officials who have no background.

Life is not good, everyone is rich with millions or hundreds of thousands.

If they want to take advantage of each other, they are very active. If they work hard, they may even lose their lives, so forget it.

Such a situation made the old lady very embarrassed.

Fortunately, Jia Rong didn't go to the house often, so she could cover up the past as if it didn't exist.

Naturally, Jia Rong didn't take it seriously, and put most of her energy on coordinating the supplies and personnel deployment of the army at Jinmen Port.

With him remotely commanding in the capital, and Lian Er, who is sitting in Jinmen Port, executing it himself, the efficiency is quite high.

If it is not affected by the monsoon and ocean currents, there may be no shortage of seagoing ships in Jinmen Port that can pass through the open sea all year round.

In other words, Rong Mansion wanted to take a ride with the wind, but ended up with loneliness.

But other forces can make up their minds and make decisions.

Many wealthy merchants, relying on the inextricable relationship network among the elites in the capital, wanted to follow them to adventures in the open sea.

Some founding noble groups agreed, while others ignored them, especially those who were close to the cabinet, they didn't give them a chance.

If you want to be strong, then wait for the sad news of the ship crashing and killing people.

Of course, the ticket is very expensive, and those ambitious businessmen don't care much, what they need is a chance.

If they can imitate the pig's feet in the novel and really succeed in founding a country in the open sea, then their identity and status will be different.

As a result, walking around the open sea, the scenery I saw was really dazzling.

With the participation of outsiders, the matter of the new Jeju Island port presided over by Xue Baochai could not be concealed completely.

With the return of the fleet, the news naturally spread in a small area.

Coincidentally, with the joint support of Jia Rong and Yuan Chun, the second master of the government successfully took the position of the third-rank government envoy, and the Rongfu also had the qualifications to be spread.

Hearing the rumors, the old lady and Mrs. Wang were so shocked!
Who would have thought that Xue Baochai, a female doll, would be able to take charge of the overall situation of the port on the big island in the outer sea?

"Ms. Wang, you have a good niece!"

The old lady's words, I don't know whether it is a compliment or a sarcasm: "Why don't you come forward and talk to Aunt Xue?"

Mrs. Wang's face was a little stiff, and she nodded in agreement.

In fact, she is still in a pretty good mood at the moment.

She also didn't expect that her niece Xue Baochai, who had disappeared for almost a year, would go to the sea to make a fuss and become a big boss?
This kind of news is naturally only spread in a very limited circle. The Xue family can't reach it, so naturally it won't be the first time to hear it.

Therefore, facing Mrs. Wang's sudden invitation, Aunt Xue was a little confused.

As the situation of the Xue family became more and more favorable, Aunt Xue's mood naturally improved, and her whole spirit changed.

Because the investment in Mrs. Wang is not small, and the relationship is not bad, so she often goes to Rongfu.

Because I didn't live in Rong Mansion, I didn't need to say hello to the old lady every time I went there. Aunt Xue thought it was very good.

Knowing that the old lady didn't like it, there was nothing they could do about it before.

It's all right now, she's going to Rongfu as a guest, and she doesn't have to smile so carefully anymore.

Since her daughter Xue Baochai went to the sea to fight, the situation of the Xue family has become better.

Uncle Xue has now reached the sixth rank, and is ready to jump out of the water transportation system and transfer to the official government office system.

It is Xue Pan, who has an extra eighth-rank position in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is quite rare.

It can be said that as long as Xue Pan does not cause trouble and loses his position as an official in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Xue family's imperial business name will be considered secure in the future.

Even, if the descendants are talented, the Xue family may transform from the imperial merchant family to the official family of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

That's terrible, a proper royal family.

Of course, Aunt Xue knew all of this, and it was all due to Jia Rong from the Ning Mansion.

At the same time, it is also the reward for my daughter to go overseas to fight.

Obviously, Jia Rong of Ningfu, who is the new thigh of the Xue family, is very satisfied with Xue Baochai's performance in the outer seas, which is why Second Uncle Xue and Xue Pan have been promoted one after another.

In order to show his loyalty, Second Uncle Xue sent his two sons and daughters to the Jia Family School and Women's School early on, and he might have further ideas in private.

After all, both Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin have good talents, especially Xue Baoqin, if they are trained properly, they may not be as good as their cousin Xue Baochai, but they are only slightly inferior.

In short, the future of the Xue family is quite bright!

It may not be as beautiful as Xue Pan's dead ghost father when he was there, but it is better than safety and tranquility.

Although Aunt Xue didn't know the specific identity of the dead ghost's husband, she also vaguely guessed. After all, the existence associated with "sudden death" is not a simple matter.

It's just that she didn't expect that when Aunt Xue arrived at Jia's mansion and saw her sister, Mrs. Wang, what Mrs. Wang said surprised her.

Mrs. Wang actually talked about Xue Baochai, she was very sure of Xue Baochai's status and role at this time, and she made it clear that she wanted to use Xue Baochai's relationship to let Rong Mansion's tentacles spread over.

After all, with the return of the first batch of merchant fleets that joined recently, the momentum of the Founding Kingdom Xungui Group in the open sea, and some other situations have been roughly understood.

Especially the large island in the outer sea controlled by the Ning Mansion, the port construction has already reached a considerable scale at this time, and if it continues to develop, it may not be able to become a place where wealth gathers.

After all, the example of Jinmen Port is right in front of us.

In the past, Jinmen was most famous for its Changlu Salt Field and water transportation transfer station, but now it is the fastest-growing town in the entire north of Dagan.

Although there is no specific data revealed, some people with a keen sense of smell can also flow in and out of money and materials every day from the busy port of Jinmen Port and the most important transfer station of water transport in the north.

Not to mention, there is also a sea salt drying base, which is a cornucopia strictly controlled by the imperial court, which can bring more than 2000 million taels of income to the imperial court every year!

On the big island in the outer sea, you can make sea salt wantonly without worrying about attracting the court's investigation.

In addition, as an important transit point for trade to Korea, it is definitely busy.

For these two points, this place called New Jeju Island is a treasure land.

If you can gain a foothold on it, that would be the best.

Obviously, Mrs. Wang, or the old lady, had this idea.

But Aunt Xue refused. Damn, isn't this cheating on her daughter?
If Jia Rong from Ningfu knew about it, not only her daughter's previous efforts would be in vain, but even Xue's family would be severely punished.

If something like this really happened, can we still count on Mrs. Wang and the Rong Mansion to help?
Do not make jokes!
Aunt Xue is still very clear about what's going on inside the Rong Mansion.

Moreover, the old lady and Mrs. Wang did things without a bottom line.

Before, Xue's family paid a full 20 taels for the construction of the provincial hospital.

As for this, Mrs. Wang was still very dissatisfied at the time, and felt that it was too little.

As a result, his daughter Xue Baochai supervised the construction of the Provincial Court, and the construction cost was less than [-] yuan.

But I didn't see that the Rong Mansion returned the excess money to each family!

Aunt Xue is still consoling herself, so she should be the Empress Yuanchun in the palace, otherwise what else can she do?

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wang still wanted the Xue family to take risks!

She definitely can't agree to this matter.

Mrs. Wang was very upset, and felt that Aunt Xue was a little ignorant.

She asked Aunt Xue directly what concerns she had, so she would listen to them.

Aunt Xue was not polite either, directly explaining the situation of the Xue family and Xue Baochai's problem. Jia Rong of Ningfu is the current thigh of Xue's family, not Rongfu.

Mrs. Wang's face was very ugly, she felt that she was underestimated by Aunt Xue, and said bluntly that the Ningrong Second Mansion is a family, so there is no need to worry about these things.

If Jia Rong of the Ningfu really doesn't give face, then let Xue Baochai come back and marry Baoyu. She recognizes this daughter-in-law, and Mrs. Ao also recognizes it.

Aunt Xue was a little moved, and felt something was wrong.

She has learned to behave well, and she didn't rush to make a decision. Instead, she shirked and went back to think about it carefully before giving Mrs. Wang an answer.

As a result, after going back, she saw Second Uncle Xue who had just returned from Ning Mansion, and she hurriedly told about Mrs. Wang.

Second Uncle Xue immediately said with disdain, if the Second Ningfu is really a family, why didn't they talk directly to General Jia of the Ningfu?
In a word, Aunt Xue realized that what she felt was inappropriate in her heart turned out to be this.

Mrs. Wang said it nicely, but as far as she knew, the relationship between the Ning Mansion and the Rong Mansion was mediocre, and she even knew that there was some estrangement due to certain things.

Uncle Xue went on to say that as for the important matters of the niece's marriage, it is no longer up to them to decide.

Seeing that Aunt Xue was puzzled, he explained that because of Xue Baochai's outstanding performance, he had already attracted the special attention of many noble families who founded the country, especially those families with males of the right age in their direct lineage, which were already quite exciting.

Now Xue Baochai is already a favorite, and he has a lot of choices.

In addition, it is Xue Baochai's own attitude.

After all, she has been in charge of overseas affairs for more than a year, and has experienced chaos and seen the outside world. It is also an ambiguous matter whether her mother, Aunt Xue, is in charge of her marriage.

Uncle Xue said bluntly that with Xue Baochai's ability, if General Jia of the Ningfu wanted to establish a country in the outer seas, at least he would be rewarded with a title of real power based on his niece's pioneering work, and his status would be quite different...
