Chapter 296 Emergency(1/2)

Some people say, "The end of science is theology!"

He Tiantian is not yet able to study such a profound theoretical issue in depth.

However, what she wants to do now is to use the cloak of "theology" to give "science" a more appropriate reason.

What?

You said my brother Cong flew a kite and released sparks and caught thunder and lightning?!

You don’t understand this, right? It’s not electricity, but a Xuan Lei Talisman that I drew.

What?

You said that my brother Cong has made a big thing that does not require manpower and only relies on steam?

Just tell me again, I have borrowed my divine power, and now I am just floating on the water, but in the future, my brother Cong will be able to go to heaven!

...Anyway, no matter what shocking technology Jia Cong invents in the future, He Tiantian can still be classified as "strange power and chaos".

Anyway, in this era, it is easy for everyone to think about ghosts and gods when it comes to unknown things.

He Tiantian just gave these statements a more authoritative stamp of approval - I am a cultivator and will ascend to heaven in the future.

And in order to make Jia Jing's "magic stick", ah, no, it's the old god's character, as stable as Mount Tai, He Tiantian refined a large number of pills with strange side effects, but they are really effective.

Even the Supreme Emperor in the palace heard of "Jia Jing"'s name.

Kings of all ages, whether tyrants or wise kings, have longed for immortality.

The Supreme Emperor is no exception.

Especially as he grows older and lets go of his power, the Emperor has fewer and fewer things to hold on to.

He clearly felt his aging and had a deep fear of his own death.

However, there are too few people who have truly cultivated the path to immortality. They are rare and rare.

Although that "Jia Jing" doesn't look like a virtuous person, his elixirs did save several people.

The Emperor doesn't want to die, he wants to live forever.

And Jia Jing can refine the elixir to regulate the body, so can "he" refine the elixir of immortality?!

He Tiantian:...No!

Of course, this cannot be said directly to the royal family.

However, He Tiantian can be "passive and slow down".

I think she is a master of alchemy, but she just made a basic Peiyuan Dan and got all kinds of weird side effects.

Why?

Isn't it just to prevent the royal family from getting interested if you perform too well?

It is said that in order to deliberately cause some messy physical reactions without compromising the original effectiveness of the elixir, she spent a lot of effort.

It's actually not difficult to get things done.

What’s difficult is that when you know how to do everything, you still deliberately make two knives!

"Father, this Jia Jing's elixir is really weird. Even he himself cannot guarantee its efficacy!"

The sage knew what the Emperor was thinking, so he deliberately ran up to him and mentioned Jia Jing's embarrassing story in a casual conversation, "No, he made himself a furnace of marrow-cleansing pills, and as a result, his hair and eyebrows were all stained."

It’s all gone!”

"With a head that looks like a bald gourd, how can he still have the appearance of a master with half the spirit of an immortal? Even those eminent monks may not agree if he is said to be a monk!"

After all, a monk or something like that only has a bald scalp, eyebrows, and beard.

As for "Jia Jing", his head is bare and there is no hair on it!

If you just have diarrhea or a smelly fart, you can tolerate it for a day or two and it will be over.

But my hair, eyebrows... if I haven't had them for three to five months, I won't be able to see people at all.

Moreover, the ancients paid attention to how the body, hair and skin are affected by their parents. Not to mention shaving their heads, they also paid attention to cutting their hair.

The Supreme Emperor simply couldn't imagine himself turning into a ball of light!

Also, the elixir refined by "Jia Jing" reacts strangely.

"Jia Jing" will lose his hair and eyebrows if he eats it, but if others eat it, there may not be any ridiculous consequences.

...Also, let’s forget it. It’s not an elixir of longevity. It’s just a pill that regulates the body. Even his imperial doctor can do it.

The Supreme Emperor no longer wanted "Jia Jing" to make elixirs. When he ran out of energy and thought of a "dead horse doctor", he was speechless.

As a "filial son", the saint naturally could not make fun of the body and life of the Supreme Emperor, and did not order "Jia Jing" to offer any elixir at all.

In this way, the Supreme Emperor passed away, and the mountain pressing on the saint's head finally disappeared completely.

After leaving the country for mourning, the saint began to rectify the affairs of the court and settle accounts after the fall.

The Zhen family was ransacked, and the Ministry of Revenue began to recover the money owed.

"Master, what should I do? Our Ning Mansion still owes the Ministry of Revenue a deficit of more than 600,000 taels of silver!"

Jia Zhen was anxious and hurried to the other courtyard to find He Tiantian for advice.

"Then pay it back!" He Tiantian said in a matter-of-fact tone.

Jia Zhen: ...Young lady, of course I know the principle of repaying debts.

But the problem is that Ningguo Mansion simply cannot afford so much cash.

In the past two years, money has been spent like water in order to build the Qingxiu Villa and support the people in the Villa.

Jia Zhen herself was reluctant to live and drink, and even Brother Rong had to go through troubles to find a wife.

They were already frugal enough at home, but as a result, they still couldn't save any money.

There is no other way. My dear father wants to make elixirs. He often uses thousand-year-old ginseng and ten-thousand-year-old polygonum multiflorum, furnace after furnace. How can he get the elixir?

It’s obviously a waste of money!

And that kid Jia Cong is also a waste of money.

I coaxed the master to build a "laboratory" of some kind, buying people and materials, which cost several hundred taels of silver every month.

It would be great if Jia Cong's "laboratory" could really tinker with something to make money, but in the end, either flying a kite would cause thunder and fire to chop down the trees, or tinkering with some gasoline would burn the mountain.

Every day, there is no time when money is not wasted.

It has developed to this point, and Jia Zhen's heart trembles as soon as he hears the servant's reply, "Master, it's not good."

However, Jia Cong fell into the eyes of the living ancestors and became the most favored younger son of the grand master. Jia Zhen, the "eldest son" of Chengjue, was not welcomed.

With the giant Buddha "Jia Jing" sitting in charge, no matter how much Jia Zhen was unwilling or complaining, he did not dare to show it.

We can only watch as father and son, Jia Jing and Jia Cong, ruin the money of Ningguo Mansion every day.

To this day, even the 600,000 yuan in silver owed has not been repaid, and Jia Zhen is on the verge of breaking out.

However, facing her own father, the fear that had long been engraved in her bones made Jia Zhen calm down.

Rubbing her face, Jia Zhen said humbly, "Master, our family doesn't have that much cash."

"Then sell the bulky stuff in the warehouse that you don't need. Oh, by the way, that one from Black Water Villa or Black Mountain Villa. The harvest fails every year. Keeping it is just too troublesome. So just sell it together. It's still worth some money.

!”

He Tiantian was very much like a prodigal son who "sells his father's land". He said it very easily and casually that the seller was selling the farm.

The real son Jia Zhen almost broke her nose in anger.

Sell ​​the things in the warehouse? Also sell Zhuangzi?

Isn't this selling off the ancestral property? It's a perfect sign of prodigality!

Jia Zhen, who has been absurd and extravagant for half her life, actually feels that her own father is the biggest loser.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and sell the things, collect the money, and pay back the money from the household department."

"If you don't act quickly, other people will buy things instead. There are so many wealthy people selling the goods, so it won't ruin the market."

"When the time comes, you won't be able to sell the same thing at a high price!"

He Tiantian also has good intentions.

Now the Ministry of Revenue has just started to collect the outstanding money, and many people are still waiting and watching.

Jia Zhen sells her belongings at this time, and maybe she can get a good price.

When everyone realizes that the saint is serious and has to pay back the money they owe, they will rush to sell their property.

At that time, all good things will be sold cheaply.

Jia Zhen: ...of course I understand the truth, but I also want to wait and see.

In the past, Jia Zhen's attitude toward Jia Jing was due to the son's fear and respect for his father.

And now...that kid Jia Cong, although he hasn't made anything that makes money, he has a relationship with the imperial court.
To be continued...
