Chapter 365 Headache (Please Subscribe)

"Really?"

In the large study room in the front yard of Rong Mansion, the second master Zheng looked surprised: "Our Jia family in the capital has been divided into two states?"

"exactly!"

Qin Keqing chuckled, inadvertently showing off her alluring beauty, which made the whole big study seem to be more beautiful.

Seeing that the second master Zheng couldn't recover from the shock for a long time, she couldn't help but laugh and said: "Uncle, there is no need to be so surprised. When the territory was divided, those few didn't have any good intentions!"

At this point, his tone became serious: "The two states allocated to our Jia family are quite large, even comparable to the three to four state capitals in the hinterland of the Central Plains!"

"But the problem is, that's the southwest border, bordering Qianxiang Country and other small southwest countries. It's not a good place. It takes immeasurable energy and resources to run it well!"

"That's great too. Let our Jia family manage all the land in the two states!"

Mr. Zheng Er said cheerfully: "What should we do next? Brother Rong's daughter-in-law, do you have any rules?"

"For now, the idea is very simple!"

Qin Keqing did not hide anything and said directly: "Ning Rong and his family manage a state and fully encourage the family members to move there and participate in the management and construction. It is really difficult!"

When he said this, a wry smile appeared on his charming face.

: "Yeah, it's not easy!"

Mr. Zheng Er sighed and said helplessly: "I'm afraid that the children of the clan cannot bear the pain of traveling thousands of miles, let alone live in the difficult environment of the southwest border!"

This is a very real problem!

To be honest, after experiencing the governance of the Mu family of the former Ming Dynasty and the century-old management of the Nan'an County Prince's Palace in Tiannan, the essence of Tiannan is not much different from that of the Central Plains.

But in border areas, even fools know that life is difficult in harsh environments.

The children of the Jia family in the capital live a very prosperous life in the capital!

Especially since the Ning Rong and Ning Rong mansions were revived one after another, their lives became increasingly easier with Zhan Guang.

At least it's much better than in the original novel Red Mansions, where you have to shamelessly ask Ning Rong's second mansion for a job.

With such conditions, how could he be willing to go to the southwest border to live a hard life?

"Let's check it out quietly first and see what's going on!"

Regarding this matter, Jia Huan actually had an explanation in his letter to Qin Keqing.

It's just that Qin Keqing felt that such a good thing was taken away by someone with a foreign surname, and she felt a little reluctant.

But if the Jia family members were unwilling, then no wonder she didn't give him a chance.

Although it is hard to engage in business and construction in the southwest border, the opportunities are also quite rare.

And they are all in their own territory. Once they perform well, they can directly obtain an official status recognized by the court through certain means without even taking part in the imperial examination!

Such convenience is no joke!

Of course, the court will not let go. It will allocate some quotas for a period of time, and it will also conduct regular inspections on these officials who take the unusual path.

But no matter what, this is a great opportunity to transcend classes!

If you are really motivated and have excellent abilities, you can be transferred to other places or even the capital to serve as an official after working in your own territory in the southwest border for several years.

This is a tacit understanding between the local feudal town and the imperial court!

Such an opening is really rare for the Jia family in Beijing.

You must know that in the entire eight-room Jia family in the capital, the number of clan members who have entered the genealogy exceeds 200.

Except for the direct descendants of Ning Rong's second house, it is very difficult for the descendants of common people to become officials without hard work, let alone the rest of the clan.

The most special thing is that women can even become officials in their own territory in the southwest border!

For no other reason, what happened to Qin Liangyu in the former Ming Dynasty is the best example!

This may not be a bright way out for the girls of the Jia family!

To be honest, if it wasn't really difficult to escape, Qin Keqing would have wanted to go to the southwest border area in person and become a female official in governing the people.

This time, the tribesmen Qin Keqing and Mr. Zheng need to mobilize are not only the tribesmen in the capital, but also the tribesmen in Jinling.

The Jia family has twelve rooms in Jinling, and the number of clan members has already exceeded a thousand!

But in the end, as a result of the private mobilization, Qin Keqing and Mr. Zheng felt as if they had been poured cold water on them, and their hearts felt so cold.

Almost no one is willing to do so when they reach that age.

Seeing this situation, Qin Keqing and Mr. Zheng immediately changed directions and had no choice but to do so.

They privately gathered orphans from the clan under the age of ten and sent them directly to the Ningrong Street Hall for training.

When the training period is over, they will be slowly sent to the southwest border through the Grand Canal!

Naturally, the number of orphans in the clan is only an insignificant number, and the real majority are the orphans from outside who are gathered through Ningrong Street Hall and other channels.

There is no way, if the clan members don’t help, then we can only train talents from an early age to help themselves.

Can a living person still be choked to death by urinating?

Jia Huan had already considered this and made it very clear in subsequent letters.

At present, he is stationed in the southwest border, recruiting some injured and disabled soldiers, and after simple training, they serve as grassroots officials. It won't be a problem to cope with it for a while.

Military control, it's not a big deal here in the southwest border.

As long as there are enough benefits to make everyone feel at ease, suffering a little pain is really not as exaggerated as outsiders think.

Of course, the number of men and horses under Jia Huan's command was limited. Even with the men and horses under Jia Cong's command, the number did not exceed 6,000.

In the southwest, the number of people who are willing to settle down in the border areas is pitifully small.

If you want local stability, you must have enough Han people as your base. This is an objective fact.

As a result, Ningrong's Second Mansion has a new and arduous task, which is to transport a steady stream of people to the southwest border territory and completely stabilize the order of the territory.

Fortunately, Ningrong Street Hall can play a huge role at this time.

In order to train his younger brothers, Jia Huan built various training venues in many farms outside the city, but now they have played a huge role.

After all, Ning Rong's Second Mansion is too conspicuous, and outsiders won't care too much if the hall quietly absorbs the refugees.

As long as the number of people being trained is kept within a certain range, even the Jinyi Mansion will keep a close eye on it.

In addition, in order to facilitate population transfer, the Jinling clan must also operate.

Establish stable logistics supply stations along the way, and stabilize the supply route.

The manpower, material resources and money required here are not a small amount!

But whether it was the Jingcheng clan or the Jinling clan, they all cooperated vigorously, and there was not much dissatisfaction!

The tribesmen all know that in the two states on the southwest border, the foundation for them to enjoy prosperity, wealth, and all kinds of beautiful lives must not be lost.

They themselves are not willing to go and suffer, but they will not hinder the clan from transporting the refugee population to the southwest border, and they will strongly support it, and no one dares to neglect it.

It can be said that with the birth of the new Nan'an County Prince, the southwest territory that originally belonged to the Nan'an County Prince's Palace was quietly divided among the royal family, the court and the founding honorary group. Most of the energy of the entire Jia family in the capital was focused on how to run the business. on development territory.

As a result, it is inevitable that the cooperation with Prince Zhongshun will be slacked off!

Prince Zhongshun was quite dissatisfied with this!

You know, his offshore fleet has already found Ezo Island and established a foothold.

Afterwards, people including the current emperor and members of the royal family came to the island to race and enclose the land.

When fetching water, don’t forget the well digger!

Prince Zhongshun was very trustworthy and directly gave Jia Huan half of the palace!

According to the geographical division of the Central Plains, it has an area of ​​three medium-sized counties in the Central Plains!

There are mountains, water, plains and hills, it’s a pretty good land!

The reason for being so generous is, firstly, to express gratitude to Jia Huan, and secondly, in the hope that we can continue to cooperate in depth and jointly resist the pressure from the current emperor.

There is no way, the current emperor's appetite is not small, he occupied an entire state in one breath!

If all the clans had not resisted, the current emperor would have wanted to take over half of Ezo Island.

To act like this is simply too deceiving!

But who calls him an emperor? No matter how dissatisfied he is, he has to hold it in.

When victory was in sight, neither he nor the other clan leaders had any intention of handing over the situation to the current emperor.

What a joke, the current emperor has quite a few heirs!

At such a time, Prince Zhongshun naturally wanted to quickly develop his own territory.

At the same time, we hope that allies will follow suit and not be held back.

But at this time, the Jia family's Ningrong second house began to slack off, which made him feel quite unhappy.

What does it mean?

Do you feel that you are satisfied with having a piece of land, but do you have no ambition to continue?

This can't happen!

Prince Zhongshun's ambitions are very big. Ever since he learned about the big islands and even giant islands overseas, he had some bold ideas in his heart.

The Zhongshun Palace headed by him wants to seize enough island territory in the outer sea.

Best of all, the overall area of ​​these islands is not much worse than that of the Central Plains Dynasty. That's beautiful!

At that time, he would not even be willing to become a vassal of Daqian. Wouldn't it be better to just establish a country and proclaim himself emperor?

Why must he be shorter than the current emperor?

But if you want to do this, the initial island development and construction must be completed as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, it would be really bad when the current emperor frees up his hands and even directly sends adult princes to build royal territories overseas.

With his righteous reputation in hand, who knows if he will become too ambitious and make some irrational actions?

Of course, the outer sea territory is really as high as the mountains and the emperor is far away. The status here in Daqian is not useful at all. It relies on real fists and swords and guns. It is not certain who will suffer when the time comes.

However, Prince Zhongshun hoped that such a battle would come as late as possible.

Before that, the best result would be to manage his own territory well and become a solid foundation for him to expand his territory overseas. There is no such thing as that.

At this time, the support and strength of allies are indispensable, and Jia Huan cannot get off the ship midway!
