Chapter 291 Ambition (please subscribe)

Wang Xifeng was shocked!

She didn't expect that Jia Huan could be so cruel!

But the next moment, she showed a full smile and sneered: "I would like to see what my good aunt would do if she knew what you were thinking, brother Huan?"

"No matter what expression!"

Jia Huan sneered: "I can make my wife earn tens of thousands of taels every year. How can the stewards she sends out do it? I don't believe it anyway!"

"I don't believe it either!"

Wang Xifeng laughed, changed the subject and asked: "By the way, your second brother Lian wants to be released, do you know?"

"Of course, this is what I actively recommend!"

Jia Huan smiled and said: "Why, getting promoted should feel good, right?"

"Not a bad fart!"

Wang Xifeng's eyebrows stood up, and she said dissatisfiedly: "If you are not a good official in the capital, what will you do if you are sent to another place?"

Having said this, he said disdainfully: "Is there any difference between a fifth-grade Beijing official and a fourth-grade local official?"

"There's not much difference, maybe even a loss!"

Jia Huan nodded and said, "But second sister-in-law, you have to understand how second brother Lian is feeling!"

"What kind of mood do you need me to understand?"

Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes and said angrily: "Don't change the subject, I want an explanation!"

"Based on Brother Cong's previous performance, maybe he will become a third-grade general in just these two years!"

Jia Huan said directly: "When the time comes, Brother Lian will still be a fifth-rank imperial official. Where can I put my face?"

"This……"

Wang Xifeng was speechless for a moment, this was really a trouble.

Not to mention Jia Lian, even she found it difficult to accept such a thing.

Jia Cong was nothing more than the concubine of a big family, but he was able to push away Jia Lian, who was from the direct lineage, in the officialdom without the support of the government's resources. The entire Rong Mansion was disgraced.

Seeing Jia Huan's relaxed and relaxed attitude, she became furious.

He snorted coldly and said unhappily: "Who doesn't know that Brother Cong can be where he is today because it was not your brother Huan who made it happen? Are you very proud of it now?"

"I'm quite proud of it!"

Jia Huan made no secret of his happiness and continued leisurely: "By then, not only will Brother Cong be a veritable third-grade official, but the wife he married will also be a third-grade official!"

These words were so murderous and heart-wrenching that Wang Xifeng felt so angry that her chest hurt.

Suffocating in her heart, she never mentioned anything about Jia Lian being released.

If they don't steam the steamed buns to argue with each other, if it is true as Jia Huan said, then she and Jia Lian will be really embarrassed.

For Wang Xifeng, who has always been strong and values ​​face more than anything else, this is simply unimaginable. Such a situation must not occur.

"Let me just say, releasing it outside is definitely a good thing for me!"

At this time, Jia Lian walked in, with an expression on his face that couldn't be told whether he was happy or depressed.

No doubt, this guy has been listening to the corner at the door for a while.

"Huh, I don't care about what's going on outside!"

Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes at the guy and said angrily: "But Second Master, please don't meddle in the matters in the backyard, otherwise I will never agree!"

"You just need to agree to go out with me to take office!"

Jia Lian sat down and smiled at Jia Huan: "Brother Huan, why didn't you go out with Brother Cong this time?"

"The roads are paved and the personnel are deployed in place!"

Jia Huan chuckled and said: "As long as Brother Cong works steadily, it will be easy to sweep away the banditry in the Central Plains!"

"This time, it's the time to make contributions and build connections. It wouldn't be a good idea for me to get involved. Let's let Brother Cong do his best!"

"You're awesome!"

Jia Lian stretched out his thumb and said with a smile: "I invite you here today. I guess you already know the reason. Do you have any good suggestions?"

"Otherwise, Brother Lian, you are very lucky!"

Jia Huan said with a smile: "It just so happens that I am quite dissatisfied with the Shanggu Prefecture where the Zhili Governor's Office is located recently. It is estimated that the black gauze hat is not far away. Second brother Lian can just move in advance!"

"Really?"

Jia Lian's eyes widened. The status of the prefect of Shanggu was not low, and it was also close to the capital.

"Of course it's true!"

With a slight smile, Jia Huan showed a confident look, nodded and said: "Brother Lian, just rest assured and operate!"

It must be true. The banditry in Baiyangdian is inseparable from the prefect of Shanggu. Sooner or later, it will be over. This is the content of the hidden letter that Jia Huan personally seized.

Now, I still keep it in a secret compartment at home for emergencies.

Since Jia Lian has an idea, what if he gives it a push in private?

In fact, even without him secretly fueling the situation, the officials in the Zhili area would not have benefited. Who told them to encounter trouble? With Jia Huan's approval, both Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng were in a very good mood.

Even Wang Xifeng knew that Shanggu was a good place, and now she was completely relieved.

"Brother Huan, how confident are you in this year's martial arts competition?"

While drinking, Jia Lian finally changed the topic to Jia Huan and asked curiously: "His grades shouldn't be worse than Brother Cong's, right?"

"Brother Lian, what do you think?"

Jia Huan chuckled and said leisurely: "Don't worry, I won't disappoint you!"

Starting from the end of spring, the new martial arts competition has begun.

This year, the examinations for Wu Xiucai and Wu Juren will be held. The examination for Wu Jinshi will be held in the fall of next year.

With Jia Huan's ability, he easily passed the examination of the martial arts scholar here in the capital, and he was ranked first!

If it were done in the past, it would definitely have caused a sensation in the entire Jia family in the capital, and it would have been commended and rewarded by the clan. It would definitely be a shameless thing.

It is a pity that at this time, the Jia clan school has trained more than 30 martial arts scholars.

That is to say, the time is too short. In the last session, only one martial arts examiner was admitted!

This year, with Jia Huan participating, it goes without saying that he is aiming for first place!

As for the most famous one, it is naturally Hua Jia Cong, the last martial arts detective.

It is also because there are many martial arts scholars cultivated here in the clan school, and there are such dazzling martial arts talents as Jia Cong, that it overshadows Jia Huan's reputation as the number one martial arts scholar.

Naturally, he didn't care much about this. When he won the first place in the martial arts examination, it would be difficult for his tribe not to pay attention. He had already been mentally prepared for this.

"Good boy, you and Brother Cong put a lot of pressure on me!"

Jia Lian pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "When you become rich in the future, don't forget to give your brother a hand!"

"Don't worry!"

Ignoring Wang Xifeng's curious and puzzled eyes, Jia Huanhao said angrily: "As long as there are no problems with you, Second Brother Lian, and you still have some achievements in office, I will naturally support you when the time comes!"

"It's not easy to be a civil servant, especially Brother Lian, you haven't taken the imperial examination yet. It will be even harder to climb up, so you have to be extra careful and give it a try whenever you get the chance!"

"What you said makes sense!"

Jia Lian nodded with deep feeling and chuckled: "Stop talking all the time, let's eat food and drink!"

The meal was considered to be a feast for both the guests and the host, and Jia Huan left with satisfaction.

The next day, an envelope containing dirty information about Shanggu Magistrate was delivered directly to the Zhongshun County Prince's Mansion.

"This boy really made me a subordinate?"

Prince Zhongshun was quite dissatisfied and said: "Such offending things will be blamed on me!"

"Then Prince, should we take action in the court?"

Chang Shi asked cautiously: "There has been a lot of anger in today's world recently, but you can't let yourself get burned!" '

"Take action, of course you have to take action!"

Prince Zhongshun said angrily: "We have invested so much in the sea, what if Jia Huan doesn't continue? Will everything be wasted?"

"Besides, the more chaotic the situation in the court, the better, and the smaller the risk of our exposure!"

Chang Shi nodded repeatedly, as if he was deeply convinced.

But I kept muttering in my heart: Then why were you so disgusted before?

If he hadn't been careful, he would have fallen into a trap just now.

In other words, Prince Chungshun's men and horses have completely occupied Jeju Island, and have even moved nearly ten thousand people there. It can be said that the actions and expenses are huge.

The effect is also quite obvious. A simple dock has been built there, as well as a simple town attached to the dock, and hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland have been opened up.

It can be said that the foundation on Jeju Island is already quite solid.

As long as it operates for a few more years, it won't be a problem for it to become a transit point for exchanges and trade with Goryeo.

When the time comes, Prince Zhongshun can send a trustworthy son to take charge, establish a small vassal state, and take the initiative to pay tribute to the court.

With a solid base in the outer sea, it will be much more convenient to explore and occupy other outer sea areas in the future. There is no need to always be wary of being noticed by the present and the imperial court, and in the end it will be all in vain.

Obviously, Prince Zhongshun has always been thinking about the big move Jia Huan mentioned before.

Now that the initial base has been successfully developed, it naturally arouses raging ambitions and wants to go further.

At this time, no matter what conditions Jia Huan proposed, as long as they were not too excessive, Prince Zhongshun would not be able to refuse them.

Even, in order to bind Jia Huan, he also designated an area for Jia Huan on Jeju Island as a foothold in the outer sea. It was an area with beaches and a lot of cultivated land.

As long as it is done carefully, there will be no problems at all in building a small coastal town with a population of tens of thousands, and it will be self-sufficient.

Jia Huan didn't know how to be polite at all, so he just smiled and accepted it without saying anything. He also joined forces with the Xue family caravan to start a large-scale transportation mode of materials and people. It seems that this posture is more active than Prince Zhongshun.

The same is true. Although there is no intersection on the surface, the alliance between Prince Zhongshun and Jia Huan is quite strong at this time.

Even at the Zhongshun County Prince's Mansion, many operations are imitating Jia Huan's actions.

There is no other reason than that I feel that Jia Huan's methods seem to be more sophisticated. It's that simple!

Just the quality of the migrated population is incomparable!
