Jia Yuan is the third generation of the Jia family in Linqiong. The Jia family also developed rapidly under his hands and eventually became the second largest wealthy family in Bashu after the Guo family. Jia Yuan is sixty years old this year. Thirty years ago, he began to train scholars who worked for the Jia family, and used the Jia family's financial resources and connections to support them step by step. This is one of the two things that must be done to become a wealthy family in Bashu. One is to spread the branches and leaves, and the other is to become entangled. To be entangled is to cultivate cronies in the officialdom, to be spread out is to marry wives and concubines for children and grandchildren, and to work hard to have children. After thirty years of perseverance, Jia Yuan finally achieved a good harvest. He controlled the five states of Jiannan Road, and everyone from the governor, chief historian, to the county magistrates below were his people. In addition, he had more than a hundred descendants and more than a hundred daughters and granddaughters. At the same time, his daughters and granddaughters brought him sons-in-law and grandson-in-law. More than a hundred descendants have all developed well. Some are officials, some are doing business, and some are in the army. In Jia Xiu's camp alone, there are eighteen generals of the Jia family and seven son-in-law generals. Of course, all of them were killed. put to death. Jia Yuan has also been a little nervous these two days. According to his experience, once they openly oppose the imperial court's abolition order, if the imperial court wants to negotiate a settlement, the first thing to do is to have Wang Wei, the observation envoy of Jiannan Road, come to visit, but so far Wang Wei did not come to visit him. This made Jia Yuan feel bad. Especially tonight, he became more and more restless. He sat in front of the study window and thought wildly, almost staying up all night. Suddenly, "Bang!" the study door was knocked open, and brother Jia Xiu stumbled in, crying: "Brother, run away, the Tang army is coming!" Jia Yuan's mind suddenly went blank. It took him a while to realize that he had to escape by himself. What would happen to his descendants? What would happen to his family business? What would happen to the thousands of salt wells? "Brother, leave quickly. Li Sheng personally led the troops to kill them. There are 20,000 to 30,000 people. If you don't leave, it will be completely over!" Jia Yuan was excited. He turned around and pulled out an iron box from the secret cabinet. The iron box was not a peerless treasure, but various items needed for escape, various roads opened by the government, exquisite human skin masks, There are naturally more than one hundred taels of gold in the house deeds and land deeds in big cities such as Chang'an and Luoyang. This is a way out for himself. The two brothers didn't care about their descendants' family property, got into a three-horse carriage, and fled out of the city under the protection of a hundred cavalry generals. After a while, he rushed to the door. When the general on duty quickly opened the city gate for them, Jia Yuan gave some instructions to the leader of the family. The leader of the servants stepped forward and said to the gatekeeper general: "Are you the city gatekeeper?" The general guarding the gate quickly bowed and said: "I am Liu Kang, the captain on duty!" The leader of the servants said arrogantly: "My master said that as long as you remain silent and don't say anything, I will reward you with a thousand coins later!" "Don't say anything for your humble position. Thank you for the generous reward!" The leader of the servants turned around and waved, and everyone gathered around the carriage and rushed out of the city gate, galloping along the northwest official road in the direction of Maozhou. The general guarding the gate watched them go away and took a hard sip on the ground, "Damn it, you still owe the reward, do you think I'm a fool?" "Close the city gate!" Maozhou is the territory of the Hou people. Jia Yuan's mother and wife are both the daughters of the leader of the Hou people. They have had a deep relationship with the Hou people for generations. Jia Yuan has also become the second generation of Baowang. The Baowang is responsible for communicating between the Han people and the Hou people. the middleman between. The previous generation of King Yi was both Jia Yuan’s father-in-law and uncle. However, the previous generation of King Yi has died. The current King Yi is more complicated. He is not only Jia Yuan’s uncle, but also his cousin, and also his in-laws. Jia Yuan's eldest son married the daughter of King Liu. Of course, Jia Yuan's wife has passed away, and the eldest son's family is in Maozhou. Otherwise, Jia Yuan would definitely bring his eldest son and his wife with him, otherwise he would not be able to see his in-laws. Not long after the Jia brothers left,
