The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

It's truly outrageous that Jia Huan entrusted the planning and construction of the territory to his wife, who wasn't even married to him yet, and a group of his family sisters. Wasn't he afraid of something going wrong?

Unexpectedly, the daughters from the Ning and Rong mansions, as well as the daughter of Minister Lin, were both such talented individuals who were able to help Jia Huan solve most of the land development issues!

It turns out that the overseas territories controlled by the royal family were not the barren lands one might imagine.

Those refugees who were sent to the outer sea territories to reclaim land and farm were unexpectedly well resettled and even lived a fairly comfortable and stable life.

I never imagined that there would be so many opportunities in the open sea. Anyone with the ability and skill could easily become rich quickly. I wish I had gone there sooner.

Unexpectedly, the outer sea territory has already absorbed more than a million people from the Great Qian Dynasty, and the number is still growing. Isn't there a need for a large number of management talents? This is a rare opportunity!

Rather than waiting in the capital for a vacancy, it would be better to join the royal family and follow them to the overseas territories to make good use of one's abilities and perhaps even secure a bright future!

So that's what the situation is like in the outer sea territories. I wish I had known sooner, but it's not too late now.

If Jia Huan can acquire territory in the outer seas, why can't we do the same?

As the book says, the open sea is vast and boundless, with plenty of unclaimed land to occupy. With proper personnel and development, becoming the ruler of a nation is entirely possible!

For a time, a strong sea breeze swept through the entire capital!

Whether officials or commoners, most of the discussions revolved around the overseas territories developed by the royal family and relatives.

It was truly an eye-opener. I never expected that the royal family members would not fight for power within the Great Qian Dynasty, but instead went to establish their own vassal states in the outer seas. It was hard to understand.

At the same time, the situation in the outer sea territories was also spread through novels and storytellers.

This propaganda offensive has tempted some individuals to get involved.

At this time, the offshore territories were extremely popular, and as various information and rumors spread rapidly throughout the north, it was the time when officials and the public were most curious about it.

Several of Jia Huan's self-written novels, such as "From Tenant to Landlord," "From Small Shrimp to Martial Arts Master," and "From Soldier to Garrison General," were quickly published and distributed, causing a great stir among the common people.

The key point is that these novel protagonists all have real-life counterparts, making them quite convincing!

It's easy to imagine that any reader who has read or heard the novel, and who has even a little bit of ambition in their heart, would be thrilled.

If even one-tenth of them dared to take action, it would be a victory for Jia Huan and the royal family, much easier than spending a lot of energy and money recruiting people.

In fact, the novel's promotional effect was unexpectedly good.

The people of the Great Qian Dynasty, who haven't experienced the information explosion and all sorts of bizarre events, would at least believe 70-80% of the novel's content, if not 100%.

Therefore, whenever they suffered from natural disasters or man-made calamities, or felt that there was no hope of advancement as tenant farmers in the Great Qian Dynasty, they would subconsciously think of going to the outer sea territories to fight and put it into action.

Among them, the enthusiasm of the heroes of the martial arts world was the most fervent.

Who can blame Jia Huan for describing the process of a nobody in the martial arts world becoming a martial arts master through hard work overseas, in a way that is both reasonable and quite realistic?

In fact, as a minor character in the martial arts world and the protagonist of a certain novel, every step of his growth, as well as his martial arts training and insights into the martial arts path, were all meticulously crafted by Jia Huan.

To put it simply, if a martial arts hero were to train and improve according to the template of a novel's protagonist, he might not necessarily grow into a grandmaster of martial arts, but becoming a top-tier expert in the martial arts world would certainly be no problem.

The thorough analysis of martial arts, the progressive training methods, and the clear descriptions of various levels of martial arts can greatly help those martial arts heroes who do not have a complete lineage.

Even if those major martial arts sects sensed something was amiss, it would be unlikely they could suppress the news.

Jia Huan used the storyteller's method, and the scope and reach of his propaganda were something that no so-called Jianghu gang could possibly intercept.

Not to mention, with numerous members of the royal family backing them up, even if some martial arts sects are unhappy, they dare not act rashly.

Once these chivalrous heroes are moved, their ability to act is quite remarkable.

They are much better than farmers who are trapped in the fields and still have the ability to move around.

Meanwhile, the heroes of the martial arts world were the main force behind this wave of novel promotion, and then they took the initiative to set foot on the overseas territories.

Of course, if you want them to behave themselves in their overseas territories, the newly appointed vassal kings must also show more of their trump cards and strength; otherwise, stabilizing the order of their territories will be a joke.

It's also possible that it will be usurped by those ambitious江湖 heroes.

Another novel focuses on the lives of soldiers in the outer sea territories and their promising future prospects, aiming to reassure the troops. It also serves to reassure those not yet transferred that the outer sea territories are not barren lands, but rather offer even greater potential than their time in the Great Qian Dynasty.

After all, to get ahead in the Daqian army, you really have to risk your life, and you also need to find a good superior who won't easily swallow your credit, otherwise you'll never have a chance to rise.

In short, Jia Huan and Lin Daiyu, together with their novels, stirred up trouble and created waves of unrest in the Daqian territory, making people restless and uneasy.

How could something as significant as what this couple did not attract attention?

At this time, Jia Huan and Lin Daiyu had been married for almost two years and had a son who was over six months old.

With his father-in-law, Lin Ruhai, a cabinet elder, tipping him off, he naturally knew that he had offended many people and forces, and had become a thorn in the side of some people and forces.

However, he didn't care. Once his son was stronger, he took his wife and children and left the troublesome place of Daqian.

In the past two years, having grown accustomed to a comfortable and leisurely life, he has become impatient with playing cat and mouse with certain forces.

Any action taken, even if it has a slightly wider impact, will provoke strong resistance and interference from the gentry and landlord class.

He had no intention of wreaking havoc within the Great Qian territory, so one can imagine the frustration he felt.

By this time, the offshore territories had already developed into a respectable entity.

He planned to take Lin Daiyu and his son with him to begin a new chapter.

On the other side of the ocean, many methods can be used without restraint.

Moreover, being in the open sea, they can use some of the arrangements made for the Great Qian Dynasty without any burden.

For example, it would be inappropriate to have contact with high-ranking members of the Buddhist and Taoist sects during the Great Qian Dynasty.

There's no other reason than that, given his status and position, he's easily subject to over-interpretation by others.

This resulted in his breathing techniques not improving as much as he had hoped.

When Jia Huan submitted his resignation to the emperor, it caused a sensation throughout the court and the country.

You should know that, given Jia Huan's age and current status, as long as he doesn't make any major mistakes, he can remain in the cabinet for at least thirty years!

That's a whole concept; even Yan Song, the notorious traitor of the Ming Dynasty, couldn't have been more ruthless.

Of course, this is also the main reason why Jia Huan is feared by all sides!

But no one expected him to pull such a stunt, and he even rejected it twice.

It wasn't until he resigned on his third attempt that she reluctantly agreed.

By this time, it was too late for him to regret it, and he couldn't stay in the capital any longer and get in the way of others, otherwise he wouldn't know when disaster would strike.

Jia Huan acted quickly, bidding farewell to his relatives and taking enough men to board the ship and leave.

Once they reached the open sea, he became less polite.

Although his territory in the outer seas was not large, he served as the chief strategist for a group of vassal lords.

Under his guidance, numerous vassal states and the Great Qian Dynasty behind them launched a major campaign against Japan.

He didn't need to go to great lengths; simply spreading the word that Japan possessed vast silver mines and gold deposits would naturally attract forces to target Japan.

Lin Daiyu, along with Xue Baochai, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, Qin Keqing, and Shi Xiangyun, who later settled in overseas territories, all became the most capable advisors to assist Jia Huan.

The women's fame extended beyond the outer seas, where they were extremely prominent. They also wielded considerable influence in the Great Qian Dynasty and were even once referred to as a female strategist group. They were the behind-the-scenes force behind the dominance of many sea areas in the outer seas and the core advisors.

Ten years later, when the old lady of the Rong family passed away peacefully, Tan Chun and Xue Baochai were both rulers of a foreign country, and Ying Chun was one of the prime ministers of a foreign vassal state.

When they returned to Daqian to attend the old lady's funeral, the grand scale of the event was so impressive that it left a significant mark on the history books of the Central Plains dynasties!

End of volume remarks

There were originally many more plot points, but I realized I wasn't very good at writing about war, court intrigue, and governance, so the writing turned out dry and uninteresting.

The original plan was to write about how the women of Dream of the Red Chamber made their debut and became prominent figures, but that's where my weakness lies. So, I'll leave it at that. Actually, it's not a bad ending.

Chapter 401 Beggar Clan's Second-Bag Disciple (Please Subscribe)

Night, at the mountain god temple.

The wind howled, the shadows of the trees swayed, and there were occasional cracking sounds, like wild ghosts howling outside the door.

Inside the dilapidated mountain god temple, a small bonfire emitted a dim light.

The firelight did not illuminate the entire mountain god temple, but only bathed a small area around it in an orange-red hue, adding to the eeriness of the dark, gloomy, and howling night.

Several thin figures sat around the campfire.

Upon closer inspection, they were all teenagers, the oldest being no more than fifteen years old.

They were all disheveled, their clothes tattered and barely covering their bodies.

If someone gets close, they can smell a strange odor on them, as if they haven't showered for many days, and they will instinctively want to avoid them.

The oldest boy sat upright with his back against the statue in the mountain god temple, keeping a distance from the other boys. Although his clothes were tattered, they exuded a refreshing air.

His hair was casually draped over his shoulders, but his face was free of the mud and grime that other teenagers had.

His eyes were clear and sharp, and he had two small cloth bags hanging on his shoulders.

If any martial arts practitioners were here, they would surely recognize him: a second-class disciple of the Beggars' Sect!

"Is Huan-ge ready yet? I can't wait any longer!"

At this moment, the youngest boy suddenly spoke up, his stomach growling loudly, "I haven't eaten much all day, my stomach is growling so much!"

Although the other boys didn't speak, the expressions on their faces and in their eyes were similar.
