Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 32 Q&A, addressed to the lazy cat who loves good food.

My reply just now was somehow swallowed up, so I have to answer the question here.

The four families in the book are by no means monolithic.Wang Ziteng took advantage of the Jia family to get promoted, but what he did was to poach the Jia family.In the end, the rabbit died and the dog died.

If the Jia family hadn't been stupid and incompetent, how could they have ended up like that?

The protagonist takes advantage of the situation and uses the existing hostility towards the Xue family to deal with the Xue family.What's wrong with this?He only mentioned a clue, and this clue became the Xue family's Achilles heel.

Wang Ziteng is currently serving as an official abroad, and I remember that his son has not returned yet.So who is Aunt Xue looking for?Looking for a sister-in-law?Aunt Xue's family came to the capital but lived in the Jia family instead of the Wang family. This can be inferred about the relationship between aunt and sister-in-law.

If you didn't ask Baochai's question the second time, I'll treat it as if you don't ask anymore.

Regarding firearms, firearms in the 18th century were still in the musket stage, and the British were still using brown bass until the Opium War. Without generational differences, the Dashun court did not care about firearm design rumors, because this was the case in all countries.The mortal enemy Junggar can purchase firearms from Russia.You can look this up. I remember there was an old movie that recorded the battle at that time in detail.

Therefore, the Dashun court strictly controlled the manufacturing of firearms and the production and sales of saltpeter.

that's all.
