Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1183: Seeing Qin Keqing Again, Emptying the National Treasury, and Meeting Xiao Wenshu for the First Time

"What big project?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Yangqu." Qin Ye said.

"Yangqu?" Jiang Chen was a little surprised.

The Yang Canal in history was built in the Eastern Han Dynasty to solve the problem of Luoyang's water supply and connect the Yellow River and Luoshui River. In the 24th year of Jianwu, a canal was dug in the west of Luoyang City to divert a branch of the Luoshui River around the city to the east, merge with the Gu River and the Chan River, and then return to the Luoshui River in Yanshi for water transport. It was called Yang Canal at that time. The Shandong grain ships were allowed to enter the Ji River from the Yellow River and reach the capital directly through the Yang Canal.

I didn't expect that in this world of film and television fusion, there is also a Yangqu built in Xinghan on the Xinghan Continent.

However, it is not surprising when you think of the prototype of Emperor Wen in the play.

What’s more, this is a world that integrates film and television, and cannot be judged by historical events.

"Yes, Yangqu is in Luoyang City." Qin Ye said.

The Luoyang City of Xinghan in the Xinghan Continent is located to the east of Shenjing.

"Lord Qin, this Yangqu Canal is a huge project. I'm afraid you can't make the decision, right?" Jiang Chen said.

"Yes, but I have part of the project that can be contracted to Mr. Jiang." Qin Ye said.

"Master Qin, I will consider this matter." Jiang Chen remembered that the Yangqu Canal was repaired four times in history and took 106 years. Although this water conservancy project can also make money, it will definitely not make too much. What Jiang Chen wants is to use the project to assist the development of the Jiang family's industry.

"Okay, once you've thought about it, Mr. Jiang can come find me." Qin Ye said.

"No problem. Lord Qin, there is a restaurant in front. Let's go for a drink." Jiang Chen said.

"This one……"

"Master Qin, please don't be polite." Jiang Chen pulled Qin Ye away.

Qin Ye hesitated for a moment but did not refuse.

After all, he didn't accept bribes, but he did have a lot of social engagements.

Soon, Jiang Chen brought Qin Ye to a restaurant.

Because he was worried that Qin Ye would have a psychological burden, Jiang Chen ordered ordinary food and drinks.

An hour later, Jiang Chen brought the drunk Qin Ye to the Qin family.

"Who?"

When Jiang Chen knocked on the door, Qin Keqing's voice came from inside.

"Miss Qin, I'm here to pick up your father." Jiang Chen said.

At this time, the door opened.

Qin Keqing appeared in front of Jiang Chen.

"Miss Qin, your father is drunk." The last time Jiang Chen came, he didn't take a good look at Qin Keqing, but today he finally saw her.

"This..." Looking at the drunk Qin Ye, Qin Keqing didn't know what to do.

"Miss Qin, let me take your father in." Jiang Chen said.

"Oh, okay." Qin Keqing did not refuse. After all, the drunk Qin Ye could not be dragged away by him alone.

At that moment, Jiang Chen helped Qin Ye walk in.

"Miss Qin, please lead the way. I will help your father to the room." Jiang Chen said.

"Please follow me." Qin Keqing said.

Jiang Chen nodded.

After a while, Jiang Chen helped Qin Ye to his room.

"Mr. Jiang, put him on the bed." Qin Keqing said.

"Okay." Jiang Chen put Qin Ye on the bed.

Qin Keqing stepped forward and covered Qin Ye with a quilt.

Jiang Chen looked at Qin Keqing.

"Mr. Jiang, you..." Qin Keqing felt Jiang Chen's gaze and felt a little uneasy.

After all, they are now a single man and a single woman.

Qin Ye was drunk again.

If Jiang Chen wanted to do something, she, as a weak woman, would probably be unable to do anything.

"Ms. Qin, I'll take my leave first." Jiang Chen bowed.

"Mr. Jiang, I'll take you there." Qin Keqing said.

Jiang Chen did not refuse.

After leaving the Qin family, Jiang Chen said, "Miss Qin, goodbye."

"Mr. Jiang, take care." Qin Keqing said.

"Okay." Jiang Chen smiled, turned and left.

Qin Keqing then went home and closed the door.

……

"Qin Keqing, you are mine."

A smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Chen's mouth.

When drinking with Qin Ye just now, Jiang Chen used the fire charm to modify Qin Ye's memory, forcing Qin Ye to marry Qin Keqing to him as a concubine. At the same time, he also made Qin Ye subconsciously take it for the Jiang family.

Although Qin Ye is only a minor official, if he is used well, he may be of great use.

"But, do you want to go to the Jia family next?"

"Anyway, most people in the Jia family have to sign in."

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen rushed towards the Jia Mansion.

……

Jia family.

"Jia's family?"

In Xinghan Shenjing, the Jia family is a prominent family.

However, to Jiang Chen, the Jia family is like his back garden.

"If I were Tian Boguang, I could pick any flower in the Jia family."

"Can I make a pseudonym for myself? Like Tian Boguang?"

Jiang Chen felt that the existence of people like Tian Boguang must have a reason.

Well, it is to bring warmth to others.

A woman without a man needs warmth, just like in the cold winter.

After a while.

"It's Grandmother Jia."

Jiang Chen saw Grandmother Jia on the roof.

Almost at the same time, the system prompt sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen thought silently in his heart.

[Congratulations to the host, you have signed in successfully and obtained a Luo Chi Nian Fruit. ]

"A Luo Chi Nian Fruit?"

"This is the fifth time I signed in and got one Luo Red Thought Fruit, plus the one thousand Red Thought Fruits I got when I was promoted to the Emperor Clan. The total number of Red Thought Fruits is 1,720."

"This is a good thing."

Jiang Chen looked at the signing hostess.

Grandmother Jia, a character in the 10th version of "Dream of the Red Chamber".

In the play, she is the wife of Jia Daishan. Before she got married, she was the daughter of Shi Hou, a noble family in Jinling. She started as the great-grandson's wife in the Jia family and worked until she had her own great-grandson's wife. With her shrewdness and ability, she secured the position of the head of the Jia family. She likes all the granddaughters and dotes on her grandson Baoyu.

"I didn't expect that the first person I met in the Jia Mansion was Grandmother Jia."

"Grandmother Jia is the most senior elder in the Ning and Rong mansions. People call her "Old Lady", "Old Ancestor", and "Old Lady Shi".

"Among the four great families in "Huguanfu", there is one "Afang Palace is three hundred miles long, but it cannot accommodate even one Shi from Jinling". Jia Mu is the daughter of Shihou's family, a noble family in Jinling."

"From this we can see how noble Lady Jia is."

In the play, Jia's mother married Jia Daishan, the eldest son of Rongguogong Jia Yuan, and gave birth to two sons, Jia She and Jia Zheng, and Jia Min. Jia Baoyu is her grandson, Lin Daiyu is her granddaughter, and Shi Xiangyun is her niece's granddaughter. It can be said that Jia's mother has both good fortune and longevity, and has enjoyed all the splendor and wealth in the world. She has a house full of sons, daughters-in-law, grandsons, granddaughters, great-granddaughters, and great-grandsons' wives to honor her; there are countless maids, old women, and servants to serve her. In particular, Wang Xifeng, the granddaughter-in-law who is in charge of the house, does everything she can to be filial to her and cater to her, so that Jia's mother can enjoy herself to the fullest.

Grandmother Jia was a noble lady from a family of scholars and scholars. She was well-informed and well-mannered. When she first married into the Jia family, Rongguo Mansion was at its peak, and she was present at the grand ceremony of welcoming the emperor to Jinling. She had always been the host of Rongguo Mansion's household affairs until she got older, when she gradually stopped taking care of the affairs and handed them over to Lady Wang and Wang Xifeng.

At the same time, Jia's mother in the play dotes on Jia Baoyu very much and cherishes this grandson as her "heart and soul". She doesn't care about Jia Zheng's strict discipline. Baoyu doesn't dare to see Jia Zheng, so she says "It doesn't matter, I'm here". After Jia Zheng beats Baoyu, Jia's mother is furious and says she wants to go back to her hometown in Jinling. As a result, Jia Zheng has to kowtow to his mother and admit his mistake. Therefore, under the protection of Jia's mother, Baoyu was able to live a peaceful and stable life with his sisters in the Grand View Garden. Jia's mother also loves her granddaughter Lin Daiyu. It was she who let the two children walk together and treat them equally in life, which made Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu have a childhood sweetheart friendship.

As the ancestor of the Jia family, the death of Jia's mother marks a major turning point for the Jia family. Her death not only symbolizes the decline of the Jia family, but also foreshadows the change in the fate of the members of the Jia family.

"It can be said that in history, the Qin Empire fell apart in three years after the death of the First Emperor."

"As for the Jia family, the clan collapsed when Grandmother Jia died."

"It is no exaggeration to say that Grandmother Jia is the spiritual pillar of the Jia family."

Jiang Chen's eyes flickered.

Jiang Chen was very happy that he had signed a Luo Chi Nian Fruit on Lady Jia's body.

"Next, let's go check on the other people."

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen was ready to leave.

Just then, a maid came over from a distance.

"is her?"

Almost at the same time, the system prompt sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen thought silently in his heart.

[Congratulations to the host, you have signed in successfully and received 100 low-grade spirit stones. ]

"One hundred low-grade spirit stones?"

"This sign-in reward is good."

After signing in Zhu Wan, Princess Pingyang Liu Ping, and Qu Wanwan in the third world to get 100 low-grade spirit stones, I signed in Fang Lewen in the first world to get 100 low-grade spirit stones, and signed in Zhao Yining in the second world to get 100 low-grade spirit stones. When signing in the 1,030th heroine, I was rewarded with 100 low-grade spirit stones. I didn't expect to get 100 low-grade spirit stones again so soon.

"This is the seventh time I've signed in and received 100 low-grade spirit stones."

"Okay."

"The more low-grade spirit stones there are, the faster the Jiang family's cultivation will improve."

For Jiang Chen, the more low-grade spirit stones he has, the more he can synthesize enhanced training cards in the future, and he can also use the spirit stones to use intermediate military talismans.

However, Jiang Chen didn't think much about it at this time, but looked at the heroine.

Jin Yuanyang, a character in "The Story of Daiyu".

In the play, she is one of the four fierce maids and the eldest maid of Jia's mother. She is very trusted, and for this reason, she has a high status among the maids in the Jia family. Jia's mother usually relies on her like her right-hand man. When Jia's mother plays cards, she sits beside her and gives advice; when Jia's mother holds a banquet, she sits down and acts as the order.

"Golden mandarin duck."

"That's right. How could there be no maids around Lady Jia?"

Jin Yuanyang in the play is a "house-born child". Her father is Jin Cai and her brother is Jin Wenxiang. Although she is a favorite of Jia's mother, she respects herself and never becomes arrogant or bullies others. Therefore, she is deeply loved and respected by people of all kinds. Her parents are looking for a house for the Jia family in Nanjing. Her brother is a comprador in Jia's mother's room, and her sister-in-law is the head of the laundry in Jia's mother's room. Jia She falls in love with her and insists on taking her as a concubine. He asks Lady Xing and Jin Yuanyang's brother and sister-in-law to persuade her and force her, but she refuses to obey.

When Jia She heard that Yuanyang refused to submit, he threatened to cut off all her life. Therefore, after Jia Mu's death, she knew that she could not escape the manipulation of Jia She and others, so she hanged herself, not hesitating to use her life to maintain her innocence. She despised her master's "appreciation" so much and resolutely resisted her master's persecution.

In the play, Jia Yingchun's maid Siqi and her cousin Pan Youan were having a secret meeting, and she accidentally saw them. Siqi was very ashamed and terrified, but Jin Yuanyang did not report them or ask for a reward. Instead, she comforted Siqi to rest and recuperate, and not to ruin her body. This shows her kindness and compassion.

"This is also the reason why Jin Yuanyang became one of the four fierce maids."

"Sign in on the golden mandarin duck."

"So, in this Dream of the Red Chamber, not only the main characters, the Twelve Golden Hairpins, but also the Twelve Golden Hairpins' second volume can sign in. The Twelve Golden Hairpins' second volume can also sign in."

"It's a good thing, though."

"After all, signing in means you can get a sign-in reward."

Jiang Chen waited for a while and left the place only after seeing Jin Yuanyang taking Lady Jia away.

……

"Who to go to next?"

Jiang Chen quickly explored the Jia Mansion.

Soon, Jiang Chen found the next sign-in target.

"Sign in."

As the system prompt sounded, Jiang Chen muttered to himself.

[Congratulations to the host, you signed in successfully and received ten stacks of elementary and intermediate talismans. 】

"Ten stacks of elementary and intermediate talismans?"

"This is the tenth time I signed in and got it."

"Add to that the fifty stacks of primary and intermediate talisman papers I received as a reward for being promoted to the Imperial Clan. The total number isn't that much."

Jiang Chen looked at the signing hostess.

Hua Xiren is a character in the 10th version of "Dream of Red Mansions".

In the play, she is the leader of Baoyu's maids.

"Jia Baoyu's maid?"

Hua Xiren, whose original name was Hua Zhenzhu, was Baoyu's maid. She was two years older than Baoyu, the same age as Xue Baochai, Xiangling, and Qingwen, and had the same birthday as Lin Daiyu. She was originally the daughter of an ordinary family. When she was young, the Hua family sold her to the Jia family as a maid to make a living. She grew up with Ping'er and others, and they talked about everything. Later, she became good friends with Xiangling.

Hua Xiren served Lady Jia and Shi Xiangyun for several years, and was later given to Jia Baoyu by Lady Jia because of her kindness. Baoyu knew her surname was Hua, and remembered the saying "the fragrance of flowers makes people feel warm suddenly", so he changed her name to Xiren. People in the Jia family who were slightly close to her called her Miss Xiren.

Xiren has always been a bit silly. She only cares about whoever she serves. However, she does not try to please Baoyu in her behavior. Instead, she often advises Baoyu to study hard. But Baoyu is eccentric and does not listen to others. Xiren is really depressed, so she often sneers and ridicules Baoyu to express her sadness and helplessness. Baoyu has feelings for her, so he does not care. When Xiren's brother Hua Zifang wanted to redeem her and take her home, Xiren cried about how she was sold and was unwilling to leave the Jia Mansion. Baoyu also went to the Hua family to visit Xiren in person. Seeing that the two had a deep relationship, the Hua family gave up the idea of ​​redeeming her.

"Hua Xiren is kind to others, steady in her dealings, kind-hearted, and conscientious in her duties."

Although she is just a maid, she is one of the few people in the Jia family who has a broad view and is sensible, so she is called "virtuous Xiren". In the play, Jia Baoyu once gave Xiren's pine flower handkerchief to Jiang Yuhan. In order to compensate Xiren's loss, he tied the red handkerchief Jiang Yuhan gave her in return around Xiren's waist, indicating that she will eventually marry Jiang Yuhan.

"By the way, did Hua Xiren and Jia Baoyu in this play have sex?"

"However, in the play, she is Jia Baoyu's maid. I wonder if it is still the same now in this world of film and television integration?"

"After all, in this world of film and television integration, many things have changed."

Jiang Chen's eyes fell on Hua Xiren.

Speaking of which, there are many women in "Dream of Red Mansions", but not all of them are stunningly beautiful.

The actors in previous lives were just like that.

"Hua Xiren looks like she's in her teens."

"If I pretend to be Jia Zheng, can I have the emperor's presence?"

Suddenly, an idea flashed through Jiang Chen's mind.

Just then, a voice came.

"Sister Xiren."

Jiang Chen turned around and saw a woman walking over.

At the same time as I saw this woman, the system prompt sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen thought silently in his heart.

[Congratulations to the host, you signed in successfully and received five thousand sets of fish scale armor. 】

"Five thousand sets of fish scale armor?"

"This is the twelfth time I've signed in to get the fish scale armor."

"The second film and television fusion world has 12,000 Wei Wuying, the third film and television fusion world has 16,000 Wei Wuying, and the spirit world has 3,000. There are only 28,000 in total. The Wei Wuying of Daming Continent and the 5,000 Wei Wuying that were trained on Baiyu Island before (2,000 on Baiyu Island and 3,000 in the spirit world) are now unequipped. There are still 34,000 sets of fish scale armor in the system space."

"In addition to what I got from signing in this time, there are still 39,000 sets of fish scale armor in the system space."

"There are few soldiers in Wei Wu camp now, and there are a lot of sign-ins when Fish Scale Armor arrives."

Jiang Chen looked at the signing hostess.

Musk Moon, a character in "Girls in the Red Chamber".

In the play, she is a maidservant of Jia Baoyu. Although she does not appear in many scenes, she is an indispensable character because she is the only one who witnessed the whole process of the decline of the Jia family and the fate of her daughter.

"I didn't expect it to be Musk Moon."

"The Twelve Golden Hairpins are also from the second volume."

"However, Musk Moon's personal conditions are not very outstanding. Unlike Qingwen, Fangguan and others, who are very beautiful and stunning at first sight, she naturally caught the eyes of Jia Mu, who is obsessed with beauty, and Jia Baoyu."

"But in the play, Musk Moon is the best quarreler."

In the play, she always plays the role of the eternal second to Jia Baoyu. The beauty of Yihong Courtyard was occupied by Qingwen and Xiren. Even Fangguan, who came later, was more favored than Sheyue. Qingwen was beautiful and straightforward, and she was good at sewing. Even Jia's mother thought that she was the best concubine for Baoyu. Baoyu also loved Qingwen. Even though Qingwen had a hot temper, he thought she was very cute and had to be humble to accommodate Qingwen.

  Xiren is even more so. She is the housekeeper of Yihong Courtyard. Everything is under her control. Everyone praises Xiren. Xiren successfully wins Jia Baoyu by her gentleness and obedience. The two of them even become husband and wife. Baoyu leaves tofu skin buns for Qingwen and steamed cheese with sugar for Xiren, but has he ever seen him leave anything for Sheyue?

Sheyue was brought up by Xiren, and she also has Xiren's style. However, Xiren is low-key and loyal to her duties. I don't know if Sheyue's low-keyness is really learned from Xiren or it's her nature. Anyway, Mrs. Wang's impression of her is the same as Xiren, stupid. Mrs. Wang likes honest girls.

After all, Musk Moon is not Xiren, and unlike Qingwen and Xiren, she is not always under the gaze of the public. Qingwen's beauty easily arouses jealousy, and her sharp tongue makes many maids feel hateful and say a lot of bad things about her behind her back. Xiren has always been accustomed to playing the pig and eating the tiger. On the surface, she is virtuous and upright, but in fact she has done a lot of shady things.

Although Musk Moon is usually quiet, she is very eloquent. Whenever there is a quarrel, Qingwen and Xiren can't handle it, and Musk Moon has to step in. When she quarrels, she is not only powerful but also reasonable, which makes the other party speechless. Therefore, the smartest person in Yihong Courtyard is not Qingwen, but Musk Moon. She is eloquent but also simple, never showing off, and not being hated by others. This is the uniqueness of Musk Moon.

"In the play, the only one who can recognize her own position from beginning to end is Musk Moon, and the one who can remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing situations is also Musk Moon."

"But in the play, she is as gentle and virtuous as Xiren, and far more rational and calm than Qingwen. She has the advantages of Xiren and Qingwen, but none of their disadvantages. This is why Xiren cried and told Jia Baoyu before leaving: At least keep Sheyue."

Jiang Chen looked at Sheyue.

Musk Moon, Grace, Jiang Jing, Zheng Shujun, Chen Wanyin, and Concubine Yue (Yue Heng) were all played by the same actor in the previous life.

Among these people, Zheng Shujun had already been favored and had close contact with Grace.

I just didn’t expect that she was a little girl in “Girls in the Red Mansion”.

This surprised Jiang Chen very much.

"Who to see next?"

Jiang Chen felt so good after signing in continuously.

However, just as Jiang Chen was about to continue, news came from the family communications center.

"Is there something wrong with the Zhufeng Dynasty?"

"Besides, it's getting late now. Let's sign in later."

"Now that Wang Xifeng hasn't entered the Jia family, and Lin Daiyu hasn't come to the capital, I don't know which version of Lin Daiyu is in this world of film and television fusion."

Jiang Chen turned around and left.

Although he had to leave halfway due to an accident, Jiang Chen was very satisfied with the fact that he had signed in a few people.

……

Zhufeng Dynasty, Kyoto, Jiang Mansion.

"My husband, according to the news from the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Zong Zheng Fengxun is preparing to ascend the throne. In addition, the army in Kyoto has begun martial law..." Zhao Rongan handed a piece of information to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen opened it and started reading.

"Husband, I think Zong Zheng Fengxun might attack you. After all, Zong Zheng Fengxun is the only one who threatens him." Buyinlou said.

"Zongzheng Fengxun..."

Jiang Chen pondered.

It was within his expectations that Zong Zheng Fengxun chose to ascend the throne.

At the same time, it was also expected that Zong Zheng Fengxun would choose to deal with him.

"Jiang Chen, what should we do now? Yuan Yuezheng and the others are still waiting for your reply." Xiao Qing said.

"When do you think Zong Zheng Fengxun will take action?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Of course, the sooner the better." Zhao Rongan said, "The longer the night, the more trouble there is. I think it is more likely that we will take action tonight. This is why I asked you to come. In addition, I got news that Zong Zheng Fengxun is preparing to form an alliance with the Great Xiao Kingdom."

"Are you saying that Zong Zheng Fengxun is planning to form an alliance with the Great Xiao Kingdom?" Jiang Chen was slightly stunned.

The Great Xiao Kingdom is the country in the poem "The Wind is Clear, the Moon is Bright, and the Flowers are Blooming".

Zhao Yining who signed in earlier is from the Great Xiao Kingdom.

The heroine of "The Wind, the Moon, and the Flowers Are Blooming" Chen Langyue is the princess of the Great Xiao Kingdom.

Could it be that she is the one that Zong Zheng and Feng Xun are planning to marry?

"Yes, this is the news that the Jinyiwei just received." Zhao Rongan replied.

"If Zongzheng Fengxun wants to ascend the throne, then let him ascend the throne. Also, Xiao Qing, notify Yuan Yuezheng and Du Siyu to leave the Fifth Prince's Mansion and come here." Jiang Chen said to Xiao Qing.

"Okay." Xiao Qing responded, turned and left.

"Husband, do you want the alias of Zong Zheng Fenglin to disappear?" Zhao Rongan reacted.

"Correct."

Jiang Chen nodded. "Since Zongzheng Fengxun wants to ascend the throne, it is too late to regret now. If he gives up because of my disappearance, the emperor will definitely deal with him after he recovers. My disappearance is just waiting for news from Xixia."

"But we do nothing?" asked Buyinlou.

"Of course not. Miao Ying, is the warehouse that I asked you to prepare before ready?" Jiang Chen asked Miao Ying.

"The four warehouses are ready, and we guarantee that no one will find out," Miao Ying said.

"Husband, what do you want to do?" Zhao Rongan asked.

"Empty the treasury of the Zhufeng Dynasty." Jiang Chen said.

"Empty the national treasury?" Zhao Rongan and others were slightly stunned.

"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded. This was also the reason why Jiang Chen had previously instructed Zhao Rongan and the others to notify him as soon as Zong Zheng Fengxun made any move.

Without the national treasury, Zong Zheng Fengxun would have to face enormous economic pressure when he ascended the throne. At that time, the Star Caravan could reach an agreement with Zong Zheng Fengxun in the name of saviors and further control the economic lifeline of the Zhufeng Dynasty.

Five minutes later, Jiang Chen left the Jiang Mansion.

That night, Jiang Chen turned into a midnight ghost, traveling between the Zhufeng Dynasty treasury and the Jiang family warehouse.

……

The next day, Jiang Mansion.

"I'm too tired." Jiang Chen, who returned to the Jiang Mansion, almost collapsed on the couch.

"Husband, is there a lot of money in the treasury of the Zhufeng Dynasty?" Zhao Rongan asked while giving Jiang Chen a massage.

"There are 1.5 million dan of grain alone. And cloth..."

The treasury of the Zhufeng Dynasty had six warehouses.

Among them, the silver storehouse is responsible for gold, silver, coins, pearls, jade, and gold, silver, and jade utensils. The leather storehouse is responsible for leather, woolen cloth, ivory, rhino horns, etc. The porcelain storehouse is responsible for porcelain, bronze, tin utensils, etc. The silk storehouse is responsible for silk, satin, gauze, damask, silk, cloth, etc. The clothing storehouse is responsible for court clothes, civilian clothes, and armor for the Eight Banners soldiers. The tea storehouse is responsible for tea, ginseng, incense, paper, pigments, etc.

Overnight, Jiang Chen emptied the treasury of the Zhufeng Dynasty.

The grains were basically placed in the warehouse, while the gold, silver and jewelry were all put into the space ring by Jiang Chen.

"The total value is about 50 million taels of silver." Jiang Chen finally said: "However, this is just an estimate. The specifics will be determined after verification."

"The Zhufeng Dynasty's treasury has so much money?" Zhao Rongan was very surprised.

"Yes, I used to think that the treasury of the Zhufeng Dynasty had been emptied after the destruction of hundreds of thousands of cavalrymen. I didn't expect that the financial resources of the Zhufeng Dynasty were stronger than I imagined." If it weren't for his strong strength and the help of elixirs, Jiang Chen would not have been able to empty the treasury in such a short time.

"Then we'll make a lot of money." Zhao Rongan said.

"These things will be slowly invested in the Zhufeng Dynasty in the future. However, I plan to take those precious leathers back to the First World." Jiang Chen felt that this was taking from the country and giving back to the country.

"Yeah." Zhao Rongan understood what Jiang Chen meant.

Relatively speaking, the First World is the Jiang family’s base camp.

No, to be exact, it is the Daming Palace.

"How is Zong Zheng Fengxun doing?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Zong Zheng Fengxun failed to find you (Zong Zheng Fenglin) and Yuan Yuezheng and the others, and is now searching for you in Kyoto." Zhao Rongan recounted what Zong Zheng Fengxun did last night.

"Next, I will take Yuan Yuezheng and the others to Baiyu Island. You must also be careful in the Zhufeng Dynasty." Jiang Chen said.

"Don't worry, we haven't been exposed. Zongzheng Fengxun won't suspect us." Zhao Rongan said.

"Yeah." Jiang Chen nodded.

Even if Zong Zheng Fengxun doubted it, it would be useless.

With Zong Zheng Fengxun's strength, he is not able to do anything to him.

"I'll take a break and then go meet the queen of the Zhufeng Dynasty." Jiang Chen said.

"Then I will go outside to protect the law." Zhao Rongan said.

"Okay." Jiang Chen nodded.

After Zhao Rongan left the room, Jiang Chen began to regulate his breathing and recover.

……

Zhufeng Dynasty, Royal Palace.

"What is mother thinking about?" Jiang Chen disguised himself as Zong Zheng Fenglin and appeared in front of Sun Xia.

"you……"

When Sun Xia saw Jiang Chen suddenly appear, her face changed drastically.

"Mother, I really like the gift you and Zongzheng Fengxun gave me today. Tell me, how should I repay you?" Jiang Chen came to Sun Xia and said with a smile: "Mother, I don't think you will let anyone disturb us, right?"

Sun Xia's face changed.

"If anyone disturbs us, you will appear at the city gate tomorrow, without any clothes," said Jiang Chen.

"You dare." Sun Xia's face changed drastically.

"Your son is going to kill me, why should I be afraid?" Jiang Chen whispered.

Sun Xia looked extremely ugly.

Zong Zheng Fenglin (Jiang Chen) was able to sneak into the heavily guarded imperial palace.

When she heard Jiang Chen's words, a chill rose in her heart.

"Zongzheng Fengxun wants to kill me. What's the best revenge? Of course, it's to enjoy... you." Jiang Chen said.

"You can't..." Sun Xia's face changed drastically.

Jiang Chen picked up Sun Xia and walked towards the couch.

"you……"

As soon as Sun Xia said a word, Jiang Chen interrupted her: "Do you want to call someone else?"

Sun Xia shut up.

Call someone else?

Where is her face?

But if he didn't call anyone, if Zong Zheng Fenglin (Jiang Chen) wanted to do that, wouldn't that be...

"I am your mother." Sun Xia said gritting her teeth.

"So what?" Jiang Chen thought of Xu Miaoyun from the third world Ming Continent.

In the third world Ming Dynasty, he is Zhu Yunhuan and Xu Miaoyun is his aunt.

Now Sun Xia is similar to Xu Miaoyun from the Ming Continent.

"you……"

Sun Xia was about to say something when she was suddenly lifted into the air and thrown onto the couch by Jiang Chen.

"..." Sun Xia.

Before Sun Xia could react, Jiang Chen leaned over and looked down at her.

"Sun Xia, the current queen, the future queen mother..." Jiang Chen smiled and said, "How do you feel now?"

"..." Sun Xia.

"If you want me to stay still, you just need to do one thing." Jiang Chen said.

"What do you want me to do?" Sun Xia asked.

"Send father to the west." Jiang Chen said.

"Then you are the father." Sun Xia's face changed drastically.

"You are the one who sent my father to the west. What does it have to do with me?" Jiang Chen chuckled and said, "Queen, do you agree?"

"This is impossible." said Sun Xia.

"Really?" Jiang Chen chuckled.

next moment.

A belt fell from the sky.

"You..." Sun Xia glared at Jiang Chen.

If looks could kill, Jiang Chen would have been killed countless times.

"Queen... Mother, you only have three breaths to consider." Jiang Chen said.

"..."Sun Xia understood that Zong Zheng Fenglin (Jiang Chen) was forcing her.

"One." Jiang Chen looked at Sun Xia with a smile.

In that way, no one would have thought what Jiang Chen wanted to do to Sun Xia.

"Impossible..." Sun Xia said.

"Two." Jiang Chen continued.

At the same time, a phoenix robe fell from the sky.

"Zong Zheng Fenglin..." Sun Xia pleaded.

"Three..." Jiang Chen continued.

"I agree." Feeling Jiang Chen's dishonest hand, Sun Xia hurriedly said.

"I'll give you three days. If after three days... I'll start with Zong Zheng Feng Xun." Jiang Chen said coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chen turned and left.

"Whoosh..."

Sun Xia sat up, her eyes full of fear.

Beyond that, there is a deep sense of confusion.

She watched Zongzheng Fenglin grow up, when did he become like this?

Zong Zheng Fenglin now seems to be crazy.

"Mother."

At this moment, Zong Zheng Fengxun's voice was heard from outside.

"Wait a moment."

Sun Xia woke up in shock and quickly put on her clothes.

After a while.

"Come in." Sun Xia said.

"Mother, Zong Zheng Fenglin was not found." Zong Zheng Fengxun said after walking in.

"What are you going to do?" Sun Xia didn't dare to say that Zong Zheng Fenglin (Jiang Chen) had been here, because she was worried that Zong Zheng Fenglin (Jiang Chen) would harm Zong Zheng Fengxun.

"I don't know." Zong Zheng Fengxun replied.

“……”Sun Xia was very disappointed.

She never expected that Zong Zheng Fengxun's answer would be "I don't know".

  Is this her son?

So incompetent?

"Mother, what should we do now?" Zong Zheng Fengxun asked.

"You will ascend the throne tomorrow." Sun Xia understood that Zong Zheng Fengxun had no choice but to ascend the throne at this time. When Zong Zheng Fengxun ascended the throne, no one would care if the emperor died.

However, what Sun Xia never expected was that a quarter of an hour later, she received news that the treasury was empty.

"Who did it?" Zong Zheng Fengxun roared.

Sun Xia had some guesses in her mind, but she didn't dare to say them out loud.

……

Qing mainland, Yangzhou Prefecture.

"Sir, are we going to look for Miao Cuihua and the others now?" Cheng Ruoyu asked.

"No, let's go around Yangzhou first." Jiang Chen said.

The Plum Blossom Internal Guard training of Su Huaner, Yang Yiliu, Miao Cuihua, Qianhong, Li Xiaohuan and Zixue has ended.

After the training, Jiang Chen arranged for Miao Cuihua and Li Xiaohuan to return to Yangzhou.

Jiang Chen's goal was very simple, which was to use Miao Cuihua and Li Xiaohuan to take down the Cao Gang step by step.

Today, Jiang Chen and Cheng Ruoyu came to Yangzhou to further confirm the situation of the Cao Gang.

"Okay." Cheng Ruoyu responded.

Yangzhou in mainland China during the Qing dynasty lasted only half a century after the Ten Days of Yangzhou.

However, Yangzhou has recovered long ago.

Walking on the streets of Yangzhou, you can see the prosperity of Yangzhou.

After walking around with Cheng Ruoyu for a quarter of an hour, Jiang Chen saw Bao Yian.

Bao Yian, a character in "The Salt Merchants of Qing Dynasty".

In the play, he was arrested and imprisoned because he was falsely accused of publishing anti-government poems, and faced the risk of having his house confiscated and imprisoned. However, after his good friend Wang Chaozong learned about this, he took active action and successfully rescued him. After Bao Yian was rescued from prison, he knelt at the door and waited for Wang Chaozong. This plot showed the deep friendship between them. Although Bao Yian's ending experienced twists and turns, he was finally able to get rid of the predicament and continue his life.

"In the next salt administration reform, these salt merchants will be our opponents."

Jiang Chen didn't think that these salt merchants would obey when the butcher's knife fell.

After all, destroying someone's financial resources is like killing their parents.

The salt administration reform in the drama was ultimately carried out while guaranteeing the interests of the salt merchants, but now that he has become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he would never allow this to happen.

"Sir, is this person Bao Yian?" Cheng Ruoyu also read the relevant information before coming. Nowadays, Jinyiwei all carry cameras, and relevant people need to be photographed.

"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded.

"It's luxurious indeed." Cheng Ruoyu has traveled all over the country with Jiang Chen and has a unique vision, so she can see at a glance how luxurious Lu Bao Yian is.

"Salt merchants, this is inevitable." Jiang Chen said.

In "The Salt Merchants of the Qing Dynasty", the residence of Yin Ruhai, Akzhan's predecessor, required an additional 120 taels of silver per day, which is 4 taels of silver per year. This is about 2000 million today. Where did this money come from?

All of this was subsidized by the Yangzhou salt merchants.

It can be said that in "The Salt Merchants of the Qing Dynasty", all the big and small salt merchants are typical of extravagance. In the play, when Akzhan first arrived in Yangzhou, because the court needed money for military pay, he forced the salt merchants to make donations. However, the salt merchants in Yangzhou began to cry poor. As a result, a small salt merchant named Qi had his concubine robbed because of a fire. When reporting the loss, the boss surnamed Qi was afraid of revealing his family's wealth, so he only reported 400 taels. However, his concubine Qi didn't know the depth of the matter, beat the boss violently, and directly said, "Which family of the surname Qi doesn't have tens of thousands of dollars?"

In other words, the concubine of a small-time salt merchant in Yangzhou at that time had at least several million in fixed assets, not counting the house.

"According to the intelligence of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, among the salt merchants in Yangzhou, the one with the most nouveau riche temperament is Bao Yian. He is a master at showing off his wealth. This person has a very down-to-earth hobby and likes to cook for himself. He has very high requirements for ingredients. It is said that he raises chickens by himself, and the feed for raising chickens is Cang ginseng from Yanshan Mountain." Jiang Chen said.

"Raising chickens with Cang Shen?" Cheng Ruoyu was stunned.

"Yes, it is said that eggs laid by hens fed in this way are worth one tael of silver each," said Jiang Chen.

“……”Cheng Ruoyu.

The Jiang family’s Daming Palace has all kinds of luxury goods.

Luxury items from several worlds are being collected.

But the Jiang family is not that extravagant.

"This is the salt merchant." Jiang Chen looked at Bao Yian as if he was looking at the God of Wealth.

"The salt industry in the Second World is the same as that in the Third World, mainly because the output is too small. It seems that the situation in the Qing Continent is similar." Cheng Ruoyu thought of the Daxing Dynasty.

The salt production of the Daxing Dynasty was not high, so some people could not afford it.

"That's somewhere else. In the mainland of Qing, the salt production is not small. A monopoly system is implemented in Qing. In layman's terms, it depicts the specific salt sales situation across the country. There are 11 salt-producing areas in the mainland of Qing, and the salt from these 11 salt-producing areas has fixed salt sales areas. Specifically in a certain province, there are often several different salt sales areas. This leads to the simultaneous sale of salt from several different production areas in a province, and even salt from a certain province. Each state and county also has salt from different salt sales areas." Jiang Chen explained.

Once the salt sales area is demarcated, a fixed relationship is formed. Salt merchants can only buy salt at designated salt fields and then sell salt in designated areas. If there is any violation of the law, salt merchants and salt buyers will be severely punished. There is nothing unreasonable about dividing salt sales areas by region, but there are many deviations in the specific operation process. As a result, the phenomenon of seeking far away instead of near and expensive instead of cheap appears.

Therefore, the salt administration reform also needs changes in this aspect.

Of course, Jiang Chen’s ultimate goal is to change the monopoly of salt from the Qing Dynasty to the Jiang family’s monopoly.

"So that's how it is." Cheng Ruoyu understood.

"Let's go." Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze from Bao Yian.

A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Chen, Cheng Ruoyu and Miao Cuihua reunited.

After completing the Plum Blossom Internal Guard Training Card training, Miao Cuihua is now a member of the Jiang family, so Jiang Chen did not hesitate to ask directly about the Cao Gang.

Miao Cuihua tells everything she knows.

"Young Master, it seems that the Cao Gang is truly controlled by the salt merchants?" Cheng Ruoyu said.

"Well, to be precise, part of it is controlled by the salt merchants, and the other part is controlled by the Governor-General of Liangjiang." Jiang Chen said.

"Master, what should we do next?" Cheng Ruoyu asked.

"Let's explore the salt merchants in Yangzhou first. See if there are any account books or something." Jiang Chen said.

In "The Salt Merchants of the Qing Dynasty", there are four major salt merchants.

However, the salt merchants in Yangzhou Prefecture in mainland China of the Qing Dynasty are not only the four major salt merchants in "The Salt Merchants of the Qing Dynasty", but also the salt merchants in other film and television dramas.

"Okay." Cheng Ruoyu nodded.

……

Evening, Wang Mansion.

Jiang Chen sneaked in like a ghost.

Of course, the Wang Mansion that Jiang Chen sneaked into was Wang Chaozong’s mansion.

There is another Wang Mansion in Yangzhou, but it is the residence of Wang Zhonglian.

Wang Zhonglian is a character in "The Micro-Business of the Qing Dynasty".

Soon, they found Wang Chaozong's study.

However, there was someone in Wang Chaozong's study, so Jiang Chen could only hide.

Half an hour later, a group of people walked towards Wang Chaozong's study.

Leading the group was a noble lady.

"is her?"

Jiang Chen recognized it.

Almost at the same time, the system prompt sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen thought silently in his heart.

[Congratulations to the host, you signed in successfully and received five thousand golden arm bows. 】

"Five thousand golden arm bows?"

"This is the sixth time I signed in to get the Golden Silk Divine Arm Bow."

The length of the golden arm bow signed by the system is three feet three, and the string length is two feet five. It has an effective range of 1300 meters, and the longest range can reach about 1520 meters. Its range is beyond the reach of other projectile weapons.

The golden arm bow is a third-grade weapon. It requires nine stones and six buckets of pulling force. Only a third-rate warrior can pull it.

"A golden arm bow that can only be pulled by a third-rate warrior."

"Now all the ten thousand Star Riders are third-rate warriors, and there are quite a few second-rate and first-rate warriors among them."

"It won't be long before all the Eagle Guards will become third-rate warriors."

"In addition to the Star Cavalry, the Golden Silk Divine Arm Bow... The Jinyiwei and Plum Blossom Inner Guards also need to be equipped."

"This means that before you get the method to make the golden arm bow, you can only sign in and use it."

Jiang Chen felt that one day the Golden Silk God Arm Bow would become a common equipment of the Jiang Family Army like the Horse Lance. However, this also meant that everyone who used the Golden Silk God Arm Bow was a third-rate warrior, which meant that the strength of the Jiang Family Army would increase.

At this moment, Jiang Chen looked at the signing hostess.

Xiao Wenshu, a character in "The Salt Merchants of Qing Dynasty".

In the play, she is Wang Chaozong's first wife, Xiao Yunian's only daughter, and Wang Yuhan's mother. She is the main wife who appears weak on the outside but is very strong on the inside. She is the daughter of Xiao Yunian, the former chief salt merchant, and Wang Chaozong's first wife. She wholeheartedly hopes to help the Wang family continue.

"Xiao Wenshu?"

"Yes, the only one who can sign in at Wang's house is Xiao Wenshu."

In the play, Xiao Wenshu, the only child of the big salt merchant Mr. Xiao and the only legitimate wife of the Wang family, actually went insane in order to let her husband take a concubine and give birth to a boy. In the end, it was only after Emperor Qianlong arranged for her to marry Wang Chaozong that she was able to untie her knot and return to normal.

However, this marriage was actually a punishment for everyone. Wang Chaozong liked the gentle and agreeable elder sister, but was forced to marry the grown-up younger sister of the Tiandihui. From then on, the elder sister had to break up with Wang Chaozong and go far away with Zheng Banqiao, while the younger sister, a jianghu person, had her wings clipped and was locked in a cage. The cruel thing was that she could only hand in the emperor's order after giving birth to a child.

"However, it is normal for Xiao Wenshu to give Wang Chaozong a concubine."

"A family without a son will be wiped out."

"A woman like Xiao Wenshu is also a good wife."

"In this regard, Xiao Wenshu and Shen Cuixi are similar."

"The difference is that Shen Cui didn't get any likes in the comedy, while Xiao Wenshu has a daughter and a powerful maternal family."

Jiang Chen looked at Xiao Wenshu.

Xiao Wenshu, Yao Lan, Qin Yun, Xu Miaoyun, and Ling Yi were played by the same actor in the previous life.

Xiao Wenshu now looks to be in her thirties.

But then again, Xiao Wenshu's daughter hasn't married yet. Thirty years old is the oldest she can be, maybe she's even less than thirty.

An hour later, Wang Chaozong, Xiao Wenshu and others left the study, and Jiang Chen sneaked in.

……

In a courtyard in Yangzhou.

"Sir, I found this at the Bao family yesterday." Cheng Ruoyu handed the phone to Jiang Chen.

Well, taking photos with your phone is the best way.

Jiang Chen looked up.

"Sir, this is a secret account book found in the Bao family. The money earned in this secret account book is several times that of the ordinary account book. I went to the Bao family's treasury, and found mountains of gold and silver..." Cheng Ruoyu said beside him.

"Gold and silver are secondary. The most important thing is land," said Jiang Chen.

In "Chang Feng Du", the Gu family is the richest family in Yangzhou and has many industries. However, the Gu family in "Chang Feng Du" cannot be compared with the salt merchants in film and television dramas such as "The Salt Merchants of Qing Dynasty".

"That's right. In the second world, if we have money, we can buy land. Sir, what should we do next?" Cheng Ruoyu asked.

"Now the Langtan troops in the Wuwei Army have already moved south, but it will take some time to reach Jiangning Prefecture, so now is not the time to move the salt merchants. Let's slowly take down the Cao Gang according to the plan." Without the cooperation of the army, personal force alone is useless. After all, the salt reform cannot be solved by killing the salt merchants.

"Okay." Cheng Ruoyu nodded.

"Let's go to Cao Gang." Jiang Chen took Cheng Ruoyu out of the yard.

However, what Jiang Chen didn’t expect was that not long after he walked out of the yard, he met an unexpected person.
