Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 786
ps: Absolutely, there is no more one

As the saying goes, the emperor loves the eldest son, and the common people love the youngest son.

But when it came to Jia's mansion, it was turned upside down.

The Jiazhang family paid great attention to their eldest son, Jia Daihua.

Leaving aside Gouzi, that cheap old man died, so he also changed his surname and adopted a stepfather.

It is said that when Gouzi was a child, he suffered a lot, and he was hungry and full. A seven or eight-year-old child is like a little monkey.

As for the daughter and the younger son, they have been soaked in honeypots since they were young, and they can eat and drink without worrying about eating and drinking. Compared with them, Gouzi is really miserable.

Besides, seeing Jia Yan like this, the title might be passed on to the youngest son, and the eldest son would at most get some money.

"How could I delay the dog?"

Jia Yan's voice rose sharply, he patted the table, and said in a calm voice: "This is my colleague in Liaodong, who is different from me. This time, I am appointed to be promoted to earl, and I am sure."

"The family has two sons who are also brave and good at fighting in the army. Maybe they can earn an extra title, a double title!"

"Oh?" Jia Zhang was taken aback for a moment, feeling that this marriage is indeed a good one.

"Which family's young lady is this?"

"Rao Yangzi's historian, he recorded great achievements in northern Liaoning, and he will be promoted to earl in a few days, and he will have to change his name again!"

As he spoke, Jia Yan picked up the tea and drank it on his own.

Jia Zhang was overjoyed.

If there is really a historian as the Yue family, it will be a great help to Gouzi. Coupled with the power of the Jia family in the army, it can be said to be like a fish in water in the army.

For a time, the whole hall was jubilant.

Jia Daihua was stunned: Am I getting married?
Perhaps because he was so happy, Jia Zhang promised Jia Yan to take a concubine, which made the latter overjoyed.

Staying in the backyard, Jia Yan was really afraid of her.

The next day, Shi Jinbao came to visit with his two sons.

"Brother Jia, I saw you were tired yesterday, and you rested all night, why are you still the same today?"

If you haven't seen him, hear his voice first.

Jia Yan greeted him in front of the living room, and he laughed loudly, which stunned him, and couldn't help saying: "Shi Jinbao, you kid, you haven't even seen my face, why are you talking nonsense?"

"Okay, my sister-in-law is here too."

Shi Jinbao had a rough personality, he cupped his hands, and behind him were two sons who looked like calves.

In the back, there are servants carrying gifts, their hands full of friendship.

After sitting down, they discussed the marriage.

The idea of ​​the two marriages is very sufficient, although there is nothing to say, it is directly scheduled for the second half of the year.

Jia Yan and his two brothers-in-law left the mansion in a hurry.

Brothers Shi Nai and Shi Ding are as strong as calves. They are in their twenties and have already joined the army. They are either battalion officers or deputy battalion officers.

But after all, they are young and lively people.

Jia Daihua did not blame them, and chatted about the Martial Arts Hall: "Let me tell you, in the Martial Arts Hall, you can see the emperor every now and then, patting his shoulders from time to time to comfort him, not to mention the glory."

"The people there must be like me for the last time, both civil and military, and they must know everything."

Leading the two brothers, Jia Daihua and the other three, one person and one horse, along the way, he bragged:
"In our case, it's the same as Jinshi entering the Imperial Academy. You have to stay for at least two or three years. As long as you are released, you will start as a team leader and deputy battalion leader."

Hearing this, his younger brother Shi Nai was stunned. He was wearing a thin shirt and his body was stretched tightly: "How is this possible? As long as you come out, you can become such a big official?"

As he said that, he turned his head and looked at his elder brother: "You must know that the two of us, brothers, started as soldiers and struggled for several years before we became battalion officers."

"You just need to read a book and have some fun to be like us?"

Shi Ding didn't believe it either, he said in a deep voice: "Brother Jia, we will be one family from now on, don't lie to us."

"Of course it's not a lie."

Jia Daihua straightened his face, and then said: "However, apart from being a team leader who can be promoted two levels to battalion commander, a bare board like me can only serve as deputy battalion commander at best."

"Most of them are team leaders."

"That's amazing." Shi Nai exclaimed, "We have also endured two years of hard work on the battlefield before we became captains!"

"We suffer hardships, and you enjoy blessings. They are all the same officials. How can we reason?"

Shi Nai's eyes widened, he was extremely puzzled, and looked at Jia Daihua with hatred, as if he regarded him as a target.

"No wonder they."

Shi Ding sighed: "Back then we joined the army directly, and the Martial Arts Hall didn't recruit people. We missed it, we missed it."

"You can't say that." Jia Daihua hurriedly remedied: "You guys are coming back from the battlefield, you must be promoted to rank, maybe you can even confer a rank. I will be devolved next year, and the military achievements will definitely not be counted. ..."

The historian brothers looked at each other and smiled for the same reason.

The three of them went directly to Wanping County.

I originally wanted to go to the brothel to play, but who knew that the entire Beijing city was in short supply, the upstairs and downstairs were crowded with people, and I heard that several girls passed out after spitting.

It's no wonder that a group of animals have endured so much hardship in Liaodong for two years, so they naturally have to come out to digest it.

No matter how good the home is, there is no fragrance outside.

"Let's go, I'll show you a novelty."

Hiding his disappointment, Jia Daihua directly led the two of them to a place.

It is also Wanping County, but it is more special here.

On the originally wide road, two objects made of iron appeared in front of them, two miles long, with hundreds of soldiers patrolling and protecting them, which is very rare.

There are many blacksmiths on both sides, knocking on iron nails, as if they want to help fix them to the ground.

"What the hell is this?" Shi Nai was really stunned: "I have only been away from Beijing for two years, why did this thing appear?"

"It's estimated to be tens of thousands of catties of iron. Is this a waste?"

Shi Ding held his breath, anyway, if his younger brother came to get involved in the muddy water, he would lose face.

"It's called a railcar."

Jia Daihua pointed to the carriage parked beside him and said, "Look at the wheels of the carriage, they are specially made in such a strange shape, so that they can walk on the rails directly."

"Originally, the carriage could only pull three to five hundred catties, but now with this rail, not only is it faster, but it can even pull a thousand catties."

"Then why do these carriages look so strange?"

Shi Ding asked to get off a particularly unusually long carriage.

Three pairs of wheels, twelve seats, and windows on all sides.

"Yes, this thing is used to carry people."

Jia Daihua shook his head and said, "To tell you the truth, at Yuquan Mountain, the imperial court has already built a track, which is about [-] miles away."

"Now I'm thinking about building a passenger train in the city."
