The eldest princess of Jinyang felt her heart agitated. It was a trembling feeling that she was suddenly enlightened and had an insight into the world on the other side.
How to put it, when a person's knowledge completely overwhelms you, you will feel that he sees people and things, has a high level of authority, and hits the nail on the head.
When you talk to him, you will feel the mercury pouring down to the ground, and you will get to the point where you feel like you are looking up at a high mountain.
Why do history books often say that when monarchs and ministers meet together and discuss the world, they sleep with their feet rested, like a fish in water, and are taken as confidants.
Jia Heng’s analysis can be said to have gathered the hard work of elites of all generations. After all, it has gone through thousands of years and enriched the methodologies and viewpoints of elites in Eastern and Western history and political science.
Even if Jia Heng uses this set of tools to analyze the dynasty before time travel, the industrialization path to dependence, land finance... he can get a glimpse of the true face of national policy.
It can be said that this entire set of methodology and underlying logic is the inalienable, irreplaceable, and insurmountable wealth of the time traveler.
For example, the eldest princess of Jinyang saw in the script earlier that Yuan Shao proposed how to mobilize border troops. Based on his knowledge, he could only think that eunuchs were no more than slaves of the emperor, so why should he mobilize foreign troops to the capital?
Therefore, there must be a calculation in it.
But she couldn't think of the underlying reason. This was the limitation of the underlying logic.
Listening to these words of the iron-clad dynasty and the flowing aristocratic family, Princess Jinyang felt as if a layer of fog had been torn away in her mind, as if she had been hit. Her jade face was stagnant, her delicate body was trembling, and her mouth felt faintly dry.
His tongue was dry, his beautiful eyes were shining with phoenix eyes. He raised his eyes and looked at the young man who said the "horrifying words" in the calmest tone, and said in a trembling voice: "Sir, what is the meaning of this statement?"
Lianxue's expression changed on the side, and her name changed...
Jia Heng picked up the tea cup on the side, moistened his throat, and said with emotion: "Since the rise of Guangwu and Zhongxing, the aristocratic families who have monopolized reading and inherited Confucian classics have controlled the selection of officials, colluded with foreign countries, and blocked the sky. Hence, the Later Han Dynasty
The misfortunes of the party... In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Chen Qun established the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, and the aristocratic families were consolidated, so that there were no poor people in the upper ranks and no nobles in the lower ranks. When the Guanlong army in the Sui and Tang Dynasties established the world, the wealthy families with the surname of Shandong were still competing with Li Tang
The emperor ruled the world together, and later the heroine of the Wu Tang Dynasty took over the country. She used ruthless officials to undermine the five surnames and seven hopes of the world. Unfortunately, the effect was very little. Finally, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties were in chaos, with warriors wielding weapons across the north and south, and the powerful families gradually withered.
"
The bones of the princes were trampled down in the streets of heaven, and the inner treasury was burnt to ashes.
The arrogant soldiers of the five generations used blood and fire to completely crush the noble families into mud.
After Jia Heng finished speaking, he looked silent, picked up the fragrant tea on the side and took a sip.
The eldest princess of Jinyang felt her heart swaying as she listened to Jia Heng's talk about the history of the Qing Dynasty, and she couldn't control herself. Lianxue, who was standing beside her, also had a strange expression on her face and a colorful look in her eyes.
"What does the gentleman mean by monopolizing reading? There should be no aristocratic families now, right?" Princess Jinyang vaguely felt that there was something else involved, so she asked, but suddenly she felt that she could not see the words of the young man opposite her due to the heavy bead curtains blocking her.
His expression was very inconvenient, so he waved his hand to the maid on the side to roll up the bead curtain.
Jia Heng was holding a tea cup and did not notice this scene. Instead, he explained: "During the Han Dynasty, texts were burned on slips, and it was very difficult for ordinary people to read. At that time, the classics were annotated by masters of the classics.
You can teach your family and disciples, and when your reputation reaches the emperor, you can be recruited as an official. But with the new technology... well, the two technologies of papermaking and printing are flourishing in the world. Books and texts are widely spread, and scholars are like crossing the river.
After the rise of common people from poor families, the imperial examination system was established in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Scholars from common people gradually filled the official positions, so... today there are no aristocratic families anymore."
There are no aristocratic families now, but there are bureaucrats and gentry. They are huge in number, filling counties and vassals. The royal relatives are born from the blood of the huge empire.
The eldest princess of Jinyang savored the words that were like gold and stone. She looked at the young man sitting upright and facing her sideways, and said with emotion: "Listening to the teacher's words is better than studying for ten years. The teacher's grand remarks are as clever as Huang Zhong."
Da Lu, enlightened the deaf and enlightened."
Jia Heng smiled softly and said: "As His Highness said before, it was just a casual chat and is not worthy of Your Highness's praise."
As he spoke, he subconsciously turned his head and cupped his hands.
However, when he raised his eyes and stared at them, his eyes met and he was stunned.
I saw a beauty sitting on the cloud bed opposite, wearing a vermilion palace dress and a phoenix hairpin. She looked to be in her mid-twenties, with a plump figure, a beautiful face, and long and narrow eyes, exuding a mature charm.
, at this moment, Qiao was smiling as brightly as a hibiscus flower, her eyes were slightly lowered, and she could only see the fair skin on her beautiful neck, and her ice-cold skin.
Although beauty is more about the bones than the skin, skin is also the most important thing.
Seemingly catching a hint of amazement in the young man's calm gaze, the beauty in palace clothes across from him smiled sweetly and said, "Sir, it seems you have something to say just now? I wonder if you have anything to say about this dynasty?"
Jia Heng withdrew his gaze, looked calm, and said thoughtfully: "Heng has not yet become an official, so he should not be good at talking about political affairs."
When the eldest princess of Jinyang heard the words, the smile on her bright and beautiful face did not diminish, but her eyes were deep and thoughtful, and she said softly: "What if it's just a casual chat?"
Jia Heng said: "Your Royal Highness, political affairs are planned by the temples, princes and other carnivores. Jia Heng is just a white man, so it's hard to say anything."
"Meat eaters? Meat eaters are despicable and fail to make far-sighted plans. Does Mr. Jia Xiao care about this?" Princess Jinyang narrowed her phoenix eyes and looked at the young man opposite her. She gradually became interested in her heart and said with a smile.
When Jia Heng heard this, he just paused and thought to himself, at this moment, he has become Mr. Jia Xiao. He is... not young.
But I haven't answered this yet.
Seeing the young man's stunned expression, the eldest princess of Jinyang smiled softly and stopped asking further questions. Instead, she said in a clear voice: "It is indeed difficult to talk about the affairs of the court here in this palace, and what about your future articles?
"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", when do you plan to submit the remaining manuscripts?"
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "Your Highness, can the price of this manuscript be further negotiated?"
"Oh?" Princess Jinyang's eyes flashed, and she said with a half-smile: "Lianxue said that I would give you a thousand taels of wealth from a famous person. Do you think there is anything wrong with it?"
She wanted to see how this young man would bargain with her.
Just now, they were talking about the history of history and scolding Fang Qiu, and then they were obsessed with wealth. This young man is quite interesting.
To put it bluntly, if Jia Heng had negotiated the price first, Princess Jinyang would not have walked away. This was due to the different order of speaking.
From this point of view, Lianxue's previous reminder did have good intentions.
Jia Heng said loudly: "A thousand taels of capital is actually a secret investment. It is not enough to express the value of the manuscript. Your Highness, the princess, should reevaluate the price of the manuscript."
Hearing this, the eldest princess of Jinyang picked up the tea cup on the side, took a sip, and said with a cold expression: "A thousand taels is too little, Mr. Jia Xiao, is too greedy."
Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said: "Your Highness, if you feel that you are at a loss, you can break the contract. According to the custom, Jia will return one hundred taels to Hanmozhai."
The eldest princess of Jinyang couldn't help but chuckle, her phoenix eyes were bright, and she stared at the young man opposite her aggressively, and said: "Do you think I care about your hundred taels of silver? Or do you mean to break the contract and do that?
A person without faith?"
Jia Heng said silently: "Your Highness...it might as well be like this. The manuscripts of the Three Kingdoms are still printed on your engraving board, but instead of buying them out at once, if you sell one copy, you will get half the profit."
When he negotiated a share with Liu Tong, it was untimely, whimsical, and seeking the skin of a tiger, but it was possible when he negotiated a share with the eldest princess of Jinyang.
Because his value in the eyes of the two is different, and the latter has a wealthy family and does not have a profit of ten thousand taels, so it is probably difficult to attract his attention.
Hearing this, the eldest princess of Jinyang looked at Lianxue on the side and asked with great interest: "Is this a custom in the house?"
"There is none in the studio." Lianxue shook her head slightly, thought for a while, and then said: "I heard that there are several other companies that are engaged in engraving and selling books."
Princess Jinyang smiled sweetly, glanced at Lianxue meaningfully, turned to look at Jia Heng, and said in a clear voice: "It seems that Mr. Jia Xiao is here well prepared."
