Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 864 Unreliable Jinling Tongzong
Just when Jia Rong was in charge of ethnology and put most of his attention on ethnology and the internal affairs of the Jia clan, it was extremely lively outside.

Previously, the rumors circulating in the city wells of the capital finally arrived in the southern region after a long journey, causing an uproar immediately.

Today, if you want to reform the salt policy and use sun-dried salt instead of boiled salt to seek great profits, how is this possible, and how can the emperor compete with the people for profit?
In short, there were all kinds of voices, and he put on a posture that the sky was high and the emperor was far away, as if he was not afraid of the royal family's spies at all.

In fact, the southern gentry group has always been bold.

As a major source of wealth and food taxation, the number of spies in the south of the royal family and the imperial court is absolutely so large that some people can't believe it.

The Patriarch of the Xue family, one of the four major families in Jinling, is the imperial family's spy in the south of the Yangtze River. It's a pity that this lard was deceived and even participated in the battle for the throne.

As a result, Xue Pan's father suddenly died suddenly after he had settled down in his current position.

Not only that, Lin Ruhai, who is still working in Yangzhou, has the qualifications to go directly to the heaven.

As for other professional or unprofessional spies, there are definitely a lot of them.

But so what?
Southern gentry groups can always make a variety of voices, among which there are many extreme ones.

Anyway, there are many scholars in the south, and the influence is quite large.

If some inappropriate remarks are casually sent out through the mouths of scholars, they will also receive a lot of praise from the people.

Among all scholars, it seems that they are born with the qualifications to comment on the imperial court, and they don't know when the atmosphere formed, especially in the south.

Under such circumstances, the emperor, who was a little less tolerant, would probably be angry for several days after hearing this.

In fact, what the southern gentry group said through the mouths of scholars has not been spread in the capital.

In other words, it was suppressed by certain forces.

Just like in the modern era, the officials and the people in the capital regard non-capital existence as bumpkins who cannot stand on the stage.

Even if the imperial court and other forces did not come forward, it would be difficult for rumors from the south to spread rapidly in the capital.

Unless, those sensational rhetoric and rumors related to one's own vital interests are likely to become popular for a while.

Obviously, even if the southern gentry group was smart, they wouldn't play so crazy. Do you really think that the royal blade can't kill them?

Jia Rong was able to get the news immediately, mainly because of the information from the Jinling clan, which was quite comprehensive.

In other words, since the Jia clan in the capital city showed signs of resurgence and became more and more popular day by day, the Jinling clan, which had been alienated from the clan in the capital city, actively posted it again.

With a warm and positive attitude, I can't wait to kneel down and call him grandpa.

If it wasn't for them to have some face, I'm afraid they would send many children from the clan to study in ethnology and connect with each other.

If it weren't for Dagan, it was a patriarchal society, and the clan relationship could not be severed at all. I am afraid that Jia Rong would kick the Jinling clan away.

Fortunately, the Jinling clan didn't come up with any unreasonable ideas, sending the clan's children here to harm the culture of the clan, otherwise he might really lose his temper.

But that's it, Jia Rong's attitude towards the Jinling clan's overtures is indifferent, lukewarm.

It's not that he is ruthless, but that the Jinling clan is a bunch of trash who have done more than succeed in their affairs.

In other words, a capable, ambitious, and hard-working existence followed Ning and Rong on the battlefield in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and created a bright future from the work of the dragon.

As for the clansmen who stayed in their hometown in Jinling, to put it bluntly, they were even worse than a guard dog.

Otherwise, during the heyday of the Ningrong Second Mansion, they would not be able to take advantage of the situation and leap from a big landlord to a country gentry and a powerful force with a pivotal position in the local area.

They are able to act as a domineering force in Jinling, and even affect the operation of the government, almost all relying on the influence and deterrence of the capital.

As for myself, not to mention buying a lot of money-making properties in Jinling, there are not even one or two scholars among the top ones, and it has been more than a hundred years.

The number of clan members on the Jinling Clan's side exceeded [-] during the heyday of the Ningrong Second Mansion.

With so many clansmen, none of the descendants has a good reading talent?
Not to mention, Jinling is the place where the literary style is at its peak, and it is the center of culture and education in the south.

Obviously, in fact, it is not that there are no children with strong reading talents in the clan, but that there are no reliable methods for cultivating younger generations in the clan.

Just like the Jia family studies in Beijing before, how could a genius emerge in such a school atmosphere?
It can only be said that the situation on the Jinling clan's side may be even worse.

Because the younger generations there have more choices.

As the center of culture and education in the south, it is conceivable that there are so many famous private schools.

Not to mention, there are academies all over the world, and it's not that they don't accept students.

Those clansmen who don't care about clan studies can send their children to formal private schools for enlightenment by spending a little money.

But more than a hundred years have passed, but there have been no children who have become talents through other channels.

It can only be said that the problems of the Jinling clan have become serious, and those clan elders in charge of clan power reckoned that they did not do anything good for the development of the clan's children.

In addition, the gap between the rich and the poor of the Jinling clan is estimated to be more serious than imagined, otherwise it is impossible for the descendants of the offshoots to really have no success at all.

One is that the atmosphere may be completely corrupted, which is also one of the key factors affecting the success of the descendants of the clan.

In short, the Jinling clan gave him the feeling that it was quite unreliable.

It's not just a feeling, in fact, the execution ability of the Jinling clan is also very poor.

Rumors arose in the capital before, and the main one was aimed at Lin Ruhai. It was conclusively believed that this person would be demoted and go to Jinmen, and there would be no hope of recovery in the future.

Of course, Jia Rong didn't think so. He was also prepared and wrote a letter directly, asking the Jinling clan to purchase an offshore sea ship and go straight to Jinmen from the southern coastal port.

The purpose is very simple, just in case.

As a result, there was no movement for three consecutive months, and the rumors about Lin Ruhai disappeared. In the end, the Jinling clan sent a letter saying that the purchase of sea ships had failed.

Hold the grass!

When seeing the content of the reply letter, Jia Rong's mood can be imagined.

Damn, if the purchase of sea ships is not going well, can't you send a letter immediately?
Fortunately, it was just an idle move, otherwise he would have been tricked to death by the Jinling clan.

Since then, his attitude has become a little colder.

Unexpectedly, the more he behaved like this, the more humble and enthusiastic the attitude of the Jinling clan would be. The attitude was so good that he almost ran to the capital to call him grandpa...
