Chapter 3, a murder has occurred

Although Jia Cong is four years older than him, in Jia Huan's view, the two of them are still generally considered children

It also allowed the fate of countless elites and talented individuals of the Song Dynasty to undergo transformation

This left Jia Huan feeling a lack of accomplishment

Jia Cong lived in the Jia family in such a way that he was even worse off than the servants, and there was hardly any good food to be had on ordinary days

He endured it, and it passed.

Those impoverished relatives of the powerful engage in small businesses and trades to make a living

He became the son of Jia She, burdened with such a foolish, ignorant, and obstinate father

Over the past year, his life has been quite difficult

This is the host that Jia Huan invited, worth three copper coins

If there were any remnants left behind, even if it were just a leg, Jia Cong would be overjoyed to consume it

If one does not take action, one can only wait to die in a predicament

When the family is large and prosperous, and there are many clan members, it becomes difficult to accommodate everyone properly

Amidst the clamor and noise, there lies a tranquility of the world

The Song Dynasty extended its reign by more than four hundred years compared to the original history

The inheritance of Chinese civilization has never been interrupted

If the Jia family is in such a state, then it goes without saying that other seemingly glamorous noble families and powerful elites are even worse

But as long as there is a single word from the Jia family, everything can be taken away

Um, delicious, truly delicious! Slurp...

Although Jia Huan is not as favored as Jia Baoyu, he is still a legitimate master of the Jia family and does not lack for food and clothing

The status of merchants is far higher than what is remembered from the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Sugar figurines, sugar figurines

The fate of the entire Lao Zhao family in the future relies on this nephew...

Unfortunately, the world today is completely different from the history that Jia Cong was once familiar with

As I walked forward, I observed the scenery and the local customs of the southern alley.

Thus, in his previous life, he always believed that Lord Cao was merely employing the Spring and Autumn brush technique to write the stories of the Qing Dynasty

This is probably what is referred to in the teachings of propriety as "When the ruler demands the death of his minister, the minister must die; when the father demands the demise of his son, the son must perish." This reflects the established principles of the relationships between rulers and ministers, as well as between fathers and sons.

However, after all, the imperial merchants are still merchants

"Hey? Jia Cong, what are you looking at me for? You should eat too, I invite you to the feast!"

In my previous life, while reading novels, I often saw that after the time travelers became the protagonists, they began to invent and start businesses, earning a fortune, transforming into wealthy and handsome individuals, and embarking on a life where affluent and beautiful women pursued them.

Murder!

Even though all twelve branches are in the old family home in Jinling, the eight branches located in the capital alone number in the hundreds

Although the residents of the West City are mostly nobles, especially in the Junxianfang, there are countless mansions of dukes and lords

How can we break the deadlock again

However, this idea merely flashed through the mind

Established the great enterprise of the Da Qian

In just the past year, Jia Cong's temperament has made him feel increasingly inscrutable...

Seeing Jia Huan, there was nothing more to say. He changed the subject and said: "Jia Huan, don't just focus on eating; don't forget to buy the things your sister asked you to get."

He would not argue seriously with a five-year-old child, even though he is only nine years old now

Those who rebel shall be judged according to the crime of insubordination

However, history experienced a turning point at a certain juncture

Only after arriving in this world did Jia Cong realize how absurd it was

But now, Jia Cong has actually stopped eating...

These fourteen years have left the Song Dynasty with a richness and vitality far greater than what Jia Cong remembered of the Song Dynasty

It is indeed the case that, were it not for this, the renowned Xue family would not be able to be listed among the four prominent families as a merchant household.

The foreign tribes, unlike the world known to Jia Cong, have truly taken control of the Central Plains and have drunk from the Yangtze River

All those who are sons must not accumulate private wealth. Salaries and income from land and property shall be entirely returned to their parents. When needed, they should request permission to use it, and must not dare to use it privately or give it away privately

This mischievous child

If we were to speak of the greatest difference, it would be the current dynasty's emphasis on commerce

has resulted in the current Great Qian, which distinguishes between superiors and subordinates

However, the dietary habits of wealthy families emphasize "moderation" and "gentleness"; their meals are generally neither too salty nor too bland, neither too sweet nor too greasy, and certainly not spicy.

A sugar figurine, with most of its weight on that head

In addition, there are probably as many as one or two thousand "relatives by marriage" from various branches living off the Jia family.

It is a death by a thousand cuts, a slow and torturous execution

Just as Jia Cong was lost in thought while observing the scenery, a sudden uproar erupted from the crowd ahead.

If Jia Cong had not crossed over into his current identity, even if he had become the mischievous Jia Huan...

However, the Jia family has a total of twenty branches of descendants since its founding ancestor

However, he clearly remembers that in "Dream of the Red Chamber," there are explicit references to the Han and Tang dynasties, as well as to Emperor Taizu and Emperor Huizong of the Song dynasty, and even to Tang Yin

Her face was so spicy that it was almost deformed, yet she exclaimed that it was exhilarating

As Sima Guang stated in "Letters from the Family of Shushui"

Jia Huan curled his lip and disregarded whether Jia Cong would eat or not, saying: "What does that matter! I still want to go see the acrobatics; that place has fire-breathing acts, quite remarkable..."

As for parental management of their descendants, it is not permitted for the descendants to accumulate private wealth

Spicy and flavorful braised dish, come and have a taste!

There is not much difference in attire and events

Jia Cong smiled and said, "I am not hungry"

This world, although it has the Han and Tang dynasties, also has Emperor Taizu and Emperor Huizong of the Song dynasty

Look here, take a look, the sweet and sour candied hawthorn skewers...

"Jia Cong, I am hosting you, why aren't you eating?"

If Jia Huan were to encounter any mishap, there would be no need for anyone else; his own sister, Lady Zhao, would be able to strip him of his skin.

Only after arriving in this world did Jia Cong realize that it was nothing like that

Ah ... ...

Considering finding an opportunity to engage in some business activities

Oh dear, little ancestor, take it slow, be careful not to drop the money!

Under the Son of Heaven, in an era of peace

Jia Cong noticed that Zhao Guoji had caught up, so he no longer paid attention to him, instead slowly observing the merchants around him.

Jia Cong suddenly awoke, pushing through the crowd to move forward

Until a hundred years ago, the last vestiges of the Song Dynasty's national fortune were exhausted. As the heavens seemed to collapse, Emperor Taizu of the Great Qian rose amidst the shattered mountains and rivers

Over the past year, Jia Cong has observed with a cold eye and discovered that although this world lacks the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, the current Da Qian era seems to be a combination of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The standard of living within Rongguo Mansion undoubtedly belongs to the highest echelon in the world

Emperor Taizong of Song, Zhao Kuangyi, was ambitious yet lacked talent, and reigned for fourteen years less than expected

Yet, even at the height of the foreign tribes' power, the Central Plains dynasties were never completely eradicated

It provides a legal basis for parents to govern their households

Not only to take it away, but also to charge him with the crime of embezzlement.

Self-reliance can also lead to a life of ease

However, those who harbor private intentions must be subjected to punishment in accordance with the family law

Dishes like lamb offal soup, which are heavy and greasy, will definitely not appear on the Jia family's dining table

Upon examining the genealogies and family records of various prominent families, one finds numerous capable illegitimate sons who have amassed great wealth for their families, supporting their parents, brothers, and even extended relatives, while their own wives and children suffer on meager rations, lacking proper clothing and shelter

Although Jia Cong is aware that "Dream of the Red Chamber" is a world entirely fabricated by Cao Xueqin, it is stated at the beginning that the specific dynasty and year are not to be considered

Jia Huan said with a hearty expression

Therefore, within the various markets of Xicheng, there are many market alleys like Nanhutong of Qunxianfang

Indeed, the talented painter of spring scenes, Tang Yin, appears in "Dream of the Red Chamber"; however, this Tang Yin is the one from the Song Dynasty

After finishing a bowl of lamb offal and a sugar figurine, Jia Huan caught up with Jia Cong and asked in a tone of complaint

Even with the toil, the common people still wear many simple smiles on their faces

Wait a moment

covered the original history of the Yuan and Ming dynasties

This has consequently led to the emergence of these bustling market alleys

Jia Huan is right ahead

In fact, it is clearer to say that if a family has not been divided, and the children accumulate private wealth, their crime is equivalent to that of the common people hoarding weapons and raising private soldiers

Certainly, the business of the Xue family is different from these merchants; the Xue family is a royal merchant

The reason why terms such as "master" and "servant" are prevalent in the world of Dream of the Red Chamber is due to the more than 700 years of mutual warfare between the Song Dynasty and various foreign tribes, which not only influenced the northern tribes but also subtly absorbed some of their influences.

For example, the Jia family, although it is a prominent family with dual nobility, boasts many members holding official titles.

can serve as

Oh heavens

disobedience

In the Jia family, the illegitimate sons, who are despised by everyone, should naturally be a group together

Additionally, there are some small vendors from other places who, envious of the wealth and prosperity of Xicheng, also carry their goods around to sell.

Jia Cong looked at him in silence

In a small snack alley in Nan Hutong, Jia Huan was slurping a bowl of lamb offal.

Apart from a few wealthy families, the rest are merely getting by day to day

When it comes to food, Jia Huan should not have lacked any delicacies from the mountains or the sea

When we grow up and separate our households, we will no longer be able to partake in the wealth and nobility of the Jia family, nor will we have to endure great suffering.

However, as the saying goes, even the emperor has a few poor relatives

Money can solve problems; if it can be solved with money, it is not a problem at all

Difficult

Its rise is vigorous, while its fall is sudden

Zhao Guoji, seeing Jia Huan in the back, simply squeezed towards the lively crowd and hurriedly followed behind.

Only by being in it can one truly feel the weight of its shackles

Shenjing West City North Street, Qunxianfang South Alley, the entire alley resembles a marketplace

The emperor rules over the world and prohibits the common people from possessing swords, blades, and armor

In the land of Jinling, we strive to reverse the tide, expel the Tartars, and restore the great Han family's territory!

Having said that, he covered his head and burrowed into the alley ahead

Jia Cong was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and with a swift motion, he tossed the remaining half of the headless monkey into Jia Huan's bowl of mutton offal, saying: "I am not hungry, you can eat it yourself"

That is why Jia Huan enjoys it so much, after all, he is still a child

Seeing Jia Cong pick up the sugar figurine, Jia Huan quickly called out to him. Then, under Jia Cong's astonished gaze, he leaned forward and bit off the head of the monkey-shaped sugar figurine, stuffing his mouth full. The sweetness made his eyes squint with delight, and he then stammered, "Delicious, delicious! You should eat some too!"

Especially the illegitimate sons

Jia Cong, upon hearing this, glanced at the monkey-shaped candy figure he was holding in his hand

In the more than 700 years of history of the Song Dynasty, the enemies from the north changed from the Liao to the Jurchen, from the Jurchen to the Mongols, and finally back from the Mongols to the Jurchen

In other words, even if Jia Cong were to suddenly embody Tao Zhu and accumulate countless riches and assets.

Having said that, he shook his head and walked forward alone

The illustrious and talented Emperor Taizu of Song reigned for an additional fourteen years
