The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

Putting everything else aside, if he were to develop honeycomb briquettes, it would definitely be a lucrative business that allows him to make money effortlessly.

The problem is, given the two brothers' abilities, it's simply impossible for them to keep such a business.

Forget about making money; it's hard to say whether they'll even be able to save their lives in the end.

The same principle applies to glass and soap. It's not that he can't make them, but that he doesn't have enough strength to guarantee that he can protect them.

Given the current situation, relying on Ningrong Street for sustenance is clearly the best approach.

As I said before, why should all the benefits go to servants? As a legitimate member of the Jia family, why are they not doing as well as the stewards in the mansion?

Once the matter is accomplished, Jia Lian will have no choice but to step forward for the sake of profit, and he will inevitably clash with the powerful steward of the mansion.

Having thought it through, Jia Lian knew he couldn't back down this time.

Even if he only gets one-tenth of the profits from a small gambling den's protection fee, it's still a considerable sum over a year.

With money, more young men could gather around and obey his commands, allowing Jia Huan's influence and reach to slowly spread outwards from Ningrong Street.

Jia Huan also had ambitions. Having finally traveled through time, he naturally couldn't be confined to Ningrong Street and unable to move, nor could he be frequently disturbed by the turmoil in the Rong Mansion's backyard.

With Lady Wang around, his attempt to take the imperial examination route was basically impossible.

As for the path of military commanders, it seems unreliable at present.

At this time, the head of the four major families in Jinling was Wang Ziteng of the Wang family, who was absolutely unwilling to see the sons of the Ning and Rong families enter the army to fight.

Even if they appear to appreciate it on the surface, not suppressing it behind the scenes is already a sign of conscience.

If you want to bypass this guy's influence, you absolutely cannot stay in the Beijing garrison.

Unless Wang Ziteng is transferred away from the Beijing garrison, there is no possibility of him developing in peace!

Chapter 34 One Call, One Hundred Responses (Please Read On)

In what way exactly does the Rong family's influence in the military manifest itself?

Jia Huan had some guesses in his mind, but without specific investigation, he couldn't draw any conclusions rashly.

Putting all that aside, when it was time for afternoon self-study, he walked straight to the podium, breaking the silence of the classroom: "I have something to say!"

"There's a new mission coming up; are any of you interested in joining?"

"Yes, Brother Huan, just let me know if you need anything!"

Jin Rong shouted from below, "Following Brother Huan will bring you many benefits; only a fool would refuse!"

"That's right, Huan-ge should just tell us what he wants us to do, what's there to discuss?"

"Could it be that Brother Huan would harm us? I'll do it!"

"I'll participate too. I don't have much else to offer, but I have a lot of brothers in my family!"

"..."

Students from other families in the classroom, as well as some members of the Jia family, all spoke up, eager to follow Jia Huan out to do things immediately.

The last promotional campaign for our embroidery products really opened their eyes.

The students who participated not only benefited themselves, but their families also received substantial financial rewards.

Jin Rong, in particular, received a kickback of ten taels of silver from his mother!

On his side, Jia Huan also gave him a reward of more than one tael of silver.

The other students who participated also gained a great deal.

With a good start, they now wish Jia Huan would have tasks every day so they could frequently receive benefits and rewards.

Not to mention those who benefited, even the other classmates who hadn't participated last time were starting to get restless, as they were all wholeheartedly following Jia Huan.

Even fourteen-year-old Jia Qiang was no exception!

He wasn't so much interested in the reward, but rather in the enthusiastic atmosphere.

Even if the clan school is in a terrible state, it is still a collective entity.

Any group, regardless of its size, is likely to be influenced by the group's atmosphere.

Of course, they were also curious about Jia Huan's behavior and wanted to see what he was up to this time.

"Okay, let's go together after school!"

Jia Huan smiled slightly, but did not say anything about what happened or what the students should do.

He planned to wait until after school, when he took his classmates out, to discuss it further.

At that point, even if some classmates wanted to back out at the last minute out of consideration for their reputation, they wouldn't have the chance.

Anyway, there's not much danger, so it's good to take the students to broaden their horizons.

If anything unexpected happens, there's still Jia Qiang, a direct descendant of the Ning family, who can always play a role.

"Alright, alright, now it's study time, everyone be quiet!"

Finally, he clapped his hands to remind the students that it was still self-study time, then leisurely returned to his seat and picked up his book to read.

The two large characters on the book cover, "History of Ming," are particularly eye-catching!

When Uncle Dai Ru took the lead, the masters of both the Ning and Rong mansions gave him face.

Then, we bought all the clan history books in the Twenty-Four Histories except for the Qing History.

At the same time, they also bought various unofficial histories and fictional works based on official histories.

For example, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which has been published and popular for a long time!

He wasn't disappointed; novels like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are not so easy to copy.

It's not that I lack ability!

The genius state, which consumes one's luck, not only grants the ability to remember everything seen, but also allows one to retrieve all memories that have been seen in the mind but temporarily sealed away.

In his previous life, he did indeed read the original version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," but only skimmed through it.

Even so, it was enough for him to become a plagiarist.

The problem is that his copying of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is very inappropriate, or rather, quite out of place.

Age is a big problem, as are huge gaps in knowledge and experience.

Could anyone without extraordinary talent have written such a masterpiece as "Linjiangxian: The Mighty Yangtze Flows Eastward"?

Furthermore, the novel involves elements such as the imperial court, political intrigue, and war. Without rich experience of life's vicissitudes, ample knowledge, and certain military and political talents, writing such a work would only raise suspicions.

If someone were to become a plagiarist and become famous for writing "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," they would basically be destined to be kept by the royal family or powerful clans.

If you're not willing, then you're doomed!

Having the ability and knowledge to write "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" shows that you have the potential to become a menace.

Putting aside other matters, as we know from the History of Ming, the Daqian Dynasty was a Han Chinese regime that succeeded the Ming Dynasty, which saved him a lot of trouble.

A simple glance reveals that the Great Qianlong Emperor rose to power in Nanjing at the end of the Chongzhen era.

At that time, the Qing army had already captured the capital and the north, and the massive army headed straight for the Southern Ming court, which was in internal chaos.

Emperor Taizu of the Great Qian Dynasty was originally a general who guarded Jinling. He went through all sorts of chaotic wars and eventually rose to power.

Then came the much-anticipated drama of expelling the Manchus and restoring the lost territories. At that time, the Qing Emperor Shunzhi hurriedly led his remaining troops back to Liaodong.

As for the affairs of the Great Qian Dynasty, Jia Huan felt somewhat ashamed, as he did not know much about them.

If it weren't for the fact that official history is a bit difficult to read, it could be treated as a historical story.

In short, during this process, the points on the virtual panel of the cheat code are gradually accumulated.

Jia Huan wasn't in a hurry. He was still young and had plenty of time. There was no need to force himself into becoming a monster. Did he think that would be fun?

If a child prodigy comes from a wealthy or powerful family, will they still want their private space in the future?

Influenced by Jia Huan, Cong Ge'er diligently studied the elementary books and almost mastered them.

But this kid's mind is clearly not on these orthodox books.

His favorite thing to do was to beg Jia Huan to read novels like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," "The Story of the Tang Dynasty," and "The Complete Story of Yue Fei" to him.

Given his current reading comprehension ability, it would be extremely difficult for him to understand it.

This kid didn't even ask if Jia Huan could understand it and explain it to him.

It's clear that this kid greatly admires the warriors in the stories. Whenever he hears about how brave and skilled the warriors are in battle, he can't help but beam with excitement.

Even after school, they can't help but dance and imitate each other.

They were practically brandishing wooden swords and spears, I don't know if they were envious of the glamorous generals in the stories, or if they really had a bit of a martial spirit.

Jia Huan saw this and planned to give his buddies a big surprise after a while.

Soon it was time for school to end, and the once quiet school building suddenly became lively.

A group of elementary school students eagerly gathered around Jia Huan, their faces full of anticipation as they awaited his instructions.

"Let's go, let's leave the clan school first!"

Jia Huan didn't delay and immediately stood up to greet them, saying, "This job won't be easy, so don't be intimidated!"
