A night of madness made Jia Cong exhausted.
He slept until noon, then recovered and got up under Concubine Chen's service.
After eating something casually, while everyone was eating, the queen dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs, and Jia Cong quietly left Cining Palace.
They walked in circles along the way, choosing quiet places with few people, and after a while, they left the palace.
I used to go in and out of the palace often, but I didn't think anything of it.
As I walked along today, I always felt like someone was staring at me. When I checked carefully, it turned out that no one was there. It was like seeing a ghost.
Could it be that this is the feeling of having done something wrong and feeling guilty?
Jia Cong never thought about having anything to do with the palace.
Unexpectedly, this time when he entered the palace, a strange combination of circumstances caused him to sleep with the Queen and Concubine Chen. He also stayed overnight in the palace and stayed in the gentle countryside for a whole day. He was almost squeezed dry by these two women.
The two of them were like resentful women in the palace. They had not been favored by His Majesty for a long time. It seemed that His Majesty's health was really failing.
No wonder Dai Quan formed an alliance with him so smoothly, and the queen was also eager to find him to help her son ascend to the throne.
These two people were the closest people to Emperor Longqing and knew the body of Emperor Longqing best.
Fortunately, I have not been idle in the past two years, and I have prepared a lot of back-ups, which are enough to deal with any chaos.
Having Dai Quan and the Queen in the palace made me feel at ease a lot. If there was any big event, they would have informed me in time.
Jia Cong has always remembered that Miaoyu's master divined for him that the danger came from the royal family.
After thinking about it, Jia Cong felt that the princes and the royal family did not pose much of a threat to him. The only ones left were the emperor, the supreme emperor, and the future new emperor.
Only they can pose a certain threat to themselves.
Forget it, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. If it doesn't work, just run away.
After a year of development, Jeju Island has completely stabilized and is gradually developing and growing.
In addition to the indigenous people on the island, more than 5,000 people were moved to the island from Shuiying.
Sixty thousand herdsmen were also moved from the grasslands. Half of these 60,000 people were Han Chinese and Han Chinese descendants. They were Han people who had been invaded and plundered by the grasslands over the years.
On Jeju Island, a large ranch was built.
A large number of cattle, sheep, and horses were transported from the grasslands for these herdsmen to graze.
Let them gradually cultivate the remaining areas into fertile fields, and let some Han people be responsible for farming.
This basically ensures self-sufficiency.
In addition, more than 20,000 disaster victims were collected from Shandong and other places and moved to the islands.
Let them reclaim wasteland and grow food.
The Northern Fleet stationed on Jeju Island already has more than 6,000 people and nearly a hundred large and small warships. The large warships are all equipped with artillery. It is the most powerful fleet in the nearby waters.
There are two thousand marines and two thousand Mongolian cavalry inside the island, responsible for patrolling and guarding the island.
The number of people on Jeju Island has exceeded 100,000.
The large amount of food that Jia Cong had stored in the water was also put to use, and Wangcai sent all his people to Jeju Island.
These 100,000 people basically relied on Jia Cong for food and drink in the first year.
Once the fields there produce food, the pastures produce a large number of sheep, and the fish caught by fishermen, self-sufficiency will be no problem.
At that time, Jia Cong will not need to post money and food, but will get a part of the tax revenue.
Jia Cong only needs to feed his own army.
In addition, Wangcai has begun to select a site to build a city on Jeju Island.
The city drawings were prepared by Jia Cong and incorporated modern sewerage engineering. The city was large enough to accommodate 200,000 people, and a palace was built for Jia Cong in it.
Last year, three million taels of silver were taken away from the government.
Jia Cong also spent a lot of money on the construction of Jeju Island.
Although the grassland is vast, the climate there is so bad that it is completely incomparable to the climate of Jeju Island.
Living on Jeju Island is more comfortable.
We have a powerful fleet, so we don’t have to worry about safety issues at all.
The cement workshop has been moved there in advance. With cement, the construction of the city has been much faster, and the general outline has already been developed.
The entire Jeju Island will be your own private property from now on.
If you can't stay in the capital anymore, go to Jeju Island and become king.
Even if he does not leave the capital in the future, he can still assign his children to the island.
With Jeju Island, Jia Cong no longer has any worries.
After leaving the palace gate, Li Biao greeted him.
"Sir, why did you come out just now, but your subordinates are so anxious. If you don't come out again, I will go to Eunuch Dai to ask."
When Jia Cong heard this, his heart warmed.
Judging from Li Biao's expression, he was really worried, or the person he trained was reliable.
He smiled and said: "Something delayed me. I forgot to send someone to notify you yesterday. You won't wait here all night, right?"
Li Biao said: "That's not true. When my subordinates saw that the palace door was closed, they knew that it would not be possible to open it again. After waiting for a while, we went back. We rushed here early this morning, thinking that the adults would come out early in the morning. I didn’t see anyone, so I was worried that something would happen to the adults.”
Jia Cong nodded and said, "Let's go home."
He took the reins of the war horse, turned over, knocked the horse's belly with his legs, and ran forward first.
······
At this time, people were coming and going on the street, so Jia Cong could only slow down his horse and move forward slowly.
When passing by Zuixian Tower, I suddenly heard a burst of noise and yelling.
Jia Cong glanced upstairs and didn't care. There were quite a few people drinking and fighting every day. Of course, there were people taking care of these shitty things, so there was no need for him to step forward.
As long as it doesn't cause too much trouble, the hotel people will come forward and solve it.
Unless the trouble becomes serious, people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division will be alerted, or people from Shuntian Mansion will come forward.
However, since Jia Cong took over the Five Cities Military and Horse Division and renovated the capital, there have been fewer people fighting and causing trouble.
In addition, after Jia Cong raided those gangs, he even killed all the second prince's people. It can be said that he had a fierce reputation, which made the children of wealthy families, the second generation of rich people, and the second generation of officials much more honest.
Of course, many people with strong backgrounds and strong connections did not take it seriously and continued as usual.
For these people, Jia Cong would turn a blind eye as long as they didn't make a big fuss.
Jia Cong turned around and continued moving forward.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came into my ears.
"You stupid beast, you dare to hit me. Do you know who I am?"
This was Xue Pan's voice. It turned out that he had a conflict with someone.
Jia Cong couldn't help but rein in his horse. Xue Pan was his brother-in-law. Although he was not very popular, he was very close to him, so he couldn't ignore him.
Even for Xue Baochai's sake, he couldn't be bullied.
From the sound, it sounded like someone had hit him. Since he had encountered it, he had to go up and have a look.
Li Biao said: "Sir, what's wrong?"
Jia Cong glanced at Zuixian Tower and said, "Brother Xue is upstairs. He may have had a conflict with someone. Let's go up and have a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard an arrogant voice saying: "Aren't you just idiot Xue? He's just a businessman. He thinks it's great if he has a few bad guys. You can't mess with any of us. Started.
If you recognize me, please apologize quickly. In addition, if each of us pays a sum of money, the matter will be over. Otherwise, believe it or not, I will have you put into prison and let you die there. "
Another voice said: "I heard that your Xue family has made a lot of money? Since you have offended me today, then you will pay each of us ten thousand taels of silver. Otherwise, our bodies will be thrown into the wilderness that day. But Don’t blame us for not warning you.”
Jia Cong frowned when he heard this. Who is this so arrogant? Not only extorting, but also threatening to kill. Is this going to heaven?
After hearing this, he no longer hesitated, got off the horse, lifted his legs and walked upstairs.
Seeing this, Li Biao quickly dismounted and followed.
Feng Ziying said: "Everyone, you have passed. Wenlong is a relative of Ning Guogong, and he is doing business with Ning Guogong. If Ning Guogong gets angry, you may not be able to deal with it well. Everyone, please step back and forget it." .”
Just listen to that arrogant voice: "Who is Mr. Ning Guo? Others are afraid of him, but I am not afraid of him. I am a relative of the emperor. My aunt is a noble concubine, and my cousin is the second prince."
When my cousin ascends to the throne, he will definitely confiscate the children of the Jia family and exterminate the family. Fool Xue, if you pay the money now, I can make the decision to spare your life. Otherwise, your Xue family will be destroyed together with the Jia family.
I heard that you have a pretty good-looking sister, maybe I can try it out, hahahahaha. "
At this time, Jia Cong had already arrived upstairs. When he heard his words, his face turned dark instantly.
The bastard turned out to be Concubine Zhou's natal family, no wonder he was so arrogant.
If you want to confiscate my family and exterminate the clan, then you should confiscate your Zhou family first. If you dare to attract my woman's attention, and if you dare to think about Sister Bao, you really don't want to live anymore.
I was just planning to cause trouble for you, but today it happened to be delivered to your door, so don’t blame grandpa for being rude.
"Really? You want to confiscate my family and exterminate my family, and you are worthy of a piece of trash like you? You are just a commoner, but you dare to slander my father-in-law, and you dare to take advantage of my woman. I really don't know how to write the word "death"."
Jia Cong stepped forward, raised his right hand, and slapped the guy in the face hard.
Concubine Zhou's natal nephew, named Zhou Hao, was originally very proud of himself.
Leng Buding was slapped, his whole face was burning, and his ears were buzzing. The huge force slapped him away, and he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, which was mixed with several teeth.
"ah!"
Zhou Hao screamed and fell three meters away.
When Xue Pan saw Jia Cong coming, he felt happy. It was better this time, but that bastard was going to be in trouble.
Zhou Hao's accomplices suddenly changed their expressions when they saw Jia Cong coming.
A person's name, a tree's shadow, and Jia Cong's evil name are not just for boasting.
These people just brag behind their backs, but now they are afraid of Jia Cong in front of him.
Zhou Hao had never been beaten by anyone since he was a child. Jia Cong's slap was so hard that it blinded him.
After reacting, he was furious and said to the guards around him: "Come in together and kill this bastard for me. I'll take care of anything you have to do."
The guards around Zhou Hao were also experts. They were just a little far away and did not react.
Although I have heard of Jia Cong's name, the Zhou family's background is also not low. She is a noble concubine in the palace, and she is very skilled, so she is not very afraid of Jia Cong.
After hearing Zhou Hao's order, he rushed forward with his sword in hand.
Jia Cong sneered in his heart and glanced coldly at the people who rushed towards him. "You are the ones who want to kill me, so don't blame me for being rude."
He shouted loudly: "The murder of imperial officials is punishable by law. Li Biao killed them."
"Yes, sir, I obey."
Li Biao agreed and rushed forward with a few soldiers.
I saw flashes of cold light, followed by several screams, and all Zhou Hao's guards were killed.
This sudden scene shocked everyone present.
Zhou Hao's friends were almost stunned. They had never seen such a bloody scene.
Even people on Feng Ziying and Xue Pan were shocked.
Unexpectedly, Jia Cong directly ordered the killing. He was truly worthy of his reputation as King of Hell.
Jia Cong raised his legs and walked towards Zhou Hao. He was going to use Zhou Hao to demonstrate to Concubine Zhou.
Concubine Zhou took action one after another, targeting her everywhere. Did she really think she had a good temper? Now let me show you my methods.
Seeing that all his guards were killed, Zhou Hao couldn't believe it, and felt a little scared in his heart. Jia Cong was so bold that he directly killed people. He must let his concubine and aunt kill him.
Seeing Jia Cong walking over step by step, Zhou Hao panicked and couldn't help but step back in fear.
However, it was soon blocked by the wall behind, and there was no way to retreat.
Zhou Hao said in horror: "Don't come here. My aunt is Zhou Guifei. If you dare to mess around, my aunt will definitely let the emperor kill you. My cousin is the second prince, and he will be the emperor in the future. If you If you dare to touch me, my cousin will avenge me."
Jia Cong laughed and said, "Weren't you very awesome just now? Why are you so timid now? I would like to give it a try. After killing you, see if the second prince will avenge you."
As he spoke, he continued to walk towards Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao was frightened when he heard this.
Looking at Jia Cong's attitude, he really wants to kill himself. What should he do?
Although Zhou Hao has always been arrogant and domineering due to the influence of Concubine Zhou and the second prince, he is not a fool. He will still be afraid when it comes to life and death.
Seeing Jia Cong getting closer and closer, Zhou Hao said with a frightened look: "Don't come over, don't come over."
Jia Cong made a swipe sound, pulled out the long knife from his waist, and said with a ferocious smile: "If you dare to take advantage of my wife, don't blame me for being rude. I won't kill you today, but I will castrate you." .”
When Zhou Hao saw that Jia Conglai was serious, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"Ning Guogong, it was my fault. I will never dare to do it again. Please forgive me this time..."
Jia Cong walked up to Zhou Hao, kicked him to the ground, and stabbed him between his legs...
