Chapter 376 Candidate
Qu Siyuan looked disgusted and said, "Why don't you pack up quickly and return your things."
If it weren't for the sake of his two children, he would really want to divorce such a stupid woman.
No matter how greedy Ling Yanli was, she didn't dare gamble with her family's lives. She had no choice but to honestly return the gift to the Hu family.
These days, there are many people like Ling Yanli who accepted bribes and quickly returned them.
There are also children of wealthy families who collude with each other and do things that benefit their respective families.
After being frightened by Jiang Tangtang's thundering measures, they all measured the land according to the land law and then distributed it to the farmers according to the rules.
After Jiang Tangtang found out, she didn't pursue the matter any further.
It was impossible for her to kill all these officials.
All she wants is for the new land law to be implemented smoothly.
Jiang Tangtang's actions scared many people and allowed the new land law to be implemented smoothly, but the resentment of the aristocratic families also grew deeper.
Jia Weijin immediately sent someone to report the situation to Qi Hongzong.
Qi Hongzong pondered for a long time after reading the news sent by Jia Weijin. Finally, he asked the visitor, "Has anyone seen the divine bird with their own eyes?"
Jia Weijin has been operating in the Great Zhou for many years, and his businesses cover all walks of life.
These businesses serve as both a means of cover and the funds to maintain this huge organization.
The person he sent back to deliver the message this time was his son Jia Daquan, who was ostensibly the escort leader but actually the intelligence messenger.
He said respectfully, "Many people in Lingnan have seen it. It's a golden bird, enormous in size, and possesses humanlike features. Some have attempted to capture it, but its swift reflexes and ferocity render it incompetent, even the best archers are powerless against it, and ordinary warriors are even more helpless."
Qi Hongzong asked, "Have you ever tried trapping it? Even a divine bird needs to eat, right?"
Jia Daquan said, "I've tried, but I heard that bird never eats outside. Not only does the divine bird not eat outside, but even the homing pigeons raised by the Lu family don't eat anything outside."
Although Jia Weijin has not been able to send anyone to Jiang Tangtang yet, and he still doesn't know any more secret information about Jiang Tangtang, all the rumors coming back from Lingnan indicate that everything Xiao Ye said in the letter is true.
Qi Hongzong suppressed his excitement and asked Jia Daquan to continue collecting information about Jiang Tangtang. He also expressed his dissatisfaction with Jia Weijin's ability to do things and asked Jia Weijin to speed up.
Jia Weijin had actually gathered a group of handsome young men, but he had never found a suitable opportunity to send them to Jiang Tangtang.
After Jiang Tangtang used thundering measures to ensure the smooth implementation of the Land Law, his main focus recently has been on the newly established departments.
In principle, once the new department is established, she just needs to hand over the work to the head of the department.
But what made her feel embarrassed was that the heads of several departments had not yet been decided.
What gave her the most headache was the Textile Department.
Jiang Tangtang's idea of establishing the Textile Department was technological reform. In addition to weaving many modern fabrics in this era, he also hoped that one day he could achieve mechanization like in modern times.
As the head of the textile department, one must not only understand textiles, but also have strong learning ability and bold thinking.
But most of those who knew how to weave were women, and at that time, it was popular to believe that women’s virtue lay in their lack of talent. Many women knew how to weave, but they could not read.
Those who can read often cannot weave.
There are very few people who are both literate and proficient in weaving, let alone those who are also knowledgeable about looms and can modify them.
How to select a qualified head of the textile department has become her biggest headache recently.
After some thought, Jiang Tangtang finally decided to use the old method and hold a spinning competition to see if he could pick out someone.
When Jia Wei Jin got the news, he was immediately delighted. It seemed like God was helping him.
He immediately called over two young men and instructed them, "Li Yun Qianshan, the two of you go and register for the competition. I don't ask you to win or take the title of Champion, but you must catch the attention of that person and make her remember you."
Li Yun was the young master of a textile family, but all his family members were burned to death in a fire.
He was spared because he was having a conflict with his father at the time.
After learning that a fire broke out in his home and his entire family was burned to death, he was heartbroken and began to doubt the sudden fire.
He went to the government to report the incident, hoping they would investigate the truth. However, the government ignored many of his doubts and insisted that the fire was just an accident.
Soon after, he was hunted and had to live on the run, which made him suspect that the government was in collusion with the arsonist who killed his family.
After that, he almost escaped death.
It was Jia Wei Jin who helped him escape from the killer's pursuit.
Even though he knew that Jia Weijin's identity was questionable and his motives were not pure, he was willing to do anything to find out the truth and avenge his family. Therefore, he selectively ignored these doubts.
The other young man named Qianshan was an orphan adopted by Jia Weijin and was raised for some men with special fetishes.
He didn't know how to weave, but he was smart and a quick learner. After Jia Weijin chose him and Li Yun to approach Jiang Tangtang, he also found a weaver who was good at weaving to teach them.
