Chapter 511
In this life, on the surface, Jing Lie was just a big cloth merchant, doing business throughout the Daning Dynasty, and part of the cloth even became tribute designated by the royal family. Who could have thought that the gigolo who initially relied on the fourth young master Zeng for his gigolo life would end up like this.
Of course, this is only on the surface. In fact, Jing Lie changed even more things. He set up workshops in many places and employed male and female workers, especially female workers who accounted for the majority of them. This not only improved production efficiency, but also allowed many women to leave home. All of this was subtly changing the entire society.
Yuan Jingze devoted himself to writing his vernacular novels. When he got tired of writing vernacular novels, he wrote travelogues. Anyway, he and Jing Lie had been to many places. Later, they even stepped out of the borders of the Daning Dynasty. He described the customs and folkways outside the Daning Dynasty, especially overseas, which attracted a large number of followers. His fans were from all walks of life. The most noticeable thing was that the emperor was Si Yao's number one fan. He even asked in the court when Si Yao's book would be published, and he also collected Si Yao's illustrations.
At this point, the identity of Si Yao as Zeng Si Shao could no longer be concealed. Those who knew the truth breathed a sigh of relief as it was finally revealed. Those who did not know the truth were shocked as they found it difficult to connect Zeng Si Shao with the talented Si Yao. However, by tracing the footsteps of Zeng Si Shao and Boss Jing, they found that the travel notes they had read matched up, and they could no longer deny the fact that Zeng Si Shao was Si Yao.
Those who initially thought that Young Master Zeng was foolish for giving up his title, looking back at the path he has taken over the years and the fame he has gained, now feel that Young Master Zeng is the one who lives the most free and easy.
Zeng Yuanjing was known as the Fourth Young Master Zeng in people's minds all his life. Even when he was old, there were still people who were willing to call him the Fourth Young Master Zeng.
Because of his travel notes, the emperor discovered that what Jing Lie said at the beginning was indeed correct. There were many countries outside the Daning Dynasty with civilizations different from that of China. This also allowed the emperor to adjust his mentality and court policies, allowing the national strength of Daning to steadily increase.
His travel notes also triggered a wave of going out to sea during the Da Ning Dynasty. The wealth he brought back made the imperial court speed up its pace and personally participate in this wave of going out to sea.
Liu Yiyi also became an extremely outstanding shopkeeper Liu. She opened Yiliu stores all over the Daning Dynasty. Some people said that the richest woman in the Daning Dynasty was not in the palace, but outside the palace, the shopkeeper Liu who did business all over Daning. When the money reached a certain amount, people no longer regarded Liu Yiyi as just a businessman. Those who were initially not optimistic about her marriage to Xia Zhou turned around and envied Xia Zhou instead.
When Xia Zhou no longer worried about money, he focused on printing and publishing, and developed this industry. He improved several printing technologies, greatly reduced the cost of books, and benefited more readers.
Although Li Yan and Zhao Yu did not enter officialdom, they found their own interests and hobbies besides running their club, which was to invest the money they earned into charity.
The four dandy young masters in their early years still had a great reputation even in their later years. However, people always praised such dandy young masters when they mentioned them. The children of noble families after them who wanted to be dandy young masters would be reminded by their families from time to time that they should take the four young masters of Li Yanzeng and others as their role models, otherwise they would be embarrassed.
When Yuan Jing and Jing Lie could no longer walk, they stopped, found a beautiful place to spend their last moments, and then left this world hand in hand.
As for why Young Master Zeng, who was judged to have a short lifespan in his early years, was still able to live a long life, people have long forgotten about it. Even if someone occasionally thinks about it, they would think that it was because Young Master Zeng took good care of himself and lived a very comfortable life, so he naturally lived longer.

After returning to the system space, Yuan Jing was still a little dazed. Although this was a world where one could not practice cultivation, he and Jing Lie did live a comfortable and relaxed life. In this state, the origin of the world that had merged into his soul was actually absorbed very thoroughly.
Cultivation requires a balance between relaxation and tension. Yuan Jing felt that he understood the meaning of this sentence very well.
"Check your points and profile."
"Okay, host."
"Ding! The host finds someone who loves him and stays with his lover for the rest of his life, and he is rewarded with 1000 points. The host eventually becomes a famous storyteller, gains countless fans, and becomes a person praised by everyone, and he is rewarded with 1000 points. The host finds out the truth about the death of the original body's father, brother, and mother and avenges them, and he is rewarded with 1000 points. The host keeps up the good work!"
Seeing the last one, Yuan Jing felt emotional. The original body had only two wishes, but he was also rewarded for what he had done for the original body's family. He thought that deep down in his heart, the original body was still looking forward to it, longing for those loved ones who truly loved him. On the contrary, he did not care too much about the hatred of the poison in his body.

***
Yuan Jing, who woke up in his new body, lay on the bed and didn't want to move. In this life, his surname is Zhai, and he is still called Yuan Jing. The male protagonist in this world is called Zhai Yuanhao. As you can see from the similar names, he and the male protagonist are cousins from the same family and have a very close relationship.
Unfortunately, although the male protagonist Zhai Yuanhao is a Long Aotian-like character, the plot is about to abuse the protagonist. The Long Aotian-like Zhai Yuanhao is constantly abused during the upgrade, but the more he is abused, the stronger he becomes. Then he takes revenge one by one, and finally becomes the strongest one. However, there are only a few relatives and friends left around him. Even if he becomes the strongest one, he is still alone.
The first step of torturing the protagonist is that Zhai Yuanhao offended an enemy when he was a young and high-spirited man. In order to retaliate against Zhai Yuanhao, the enemy sent people to wipe out Zhai Yuanhao's family. Yes, including his cousin Zhai Yuanjing, all of them were wiped out. This gave the protagonist the first great and painful blow, and made the protagonist work hard from then on. In the end, he chopped off the enemy's head with his own hands. Unfortunately, those relatives and clansmen could not be saved.
Yuan Jing wiped his face with a deep expression, and was extremely speechless about such a plot arrangement. In order to stimulate the male protagonist to work hard, there is no need for everyone around him to die. What's the point of leaving a lonely man in the end?
Is the hero happy in the end? In his opinion, not necessarily. In the end, the hero doesn't even have a confidante, because he is afraid of getting people around him into trouble.
Therefore, the reasons for the destruction of the original body and the family are completely different from those in the immortal world that Yuan Jing experienced. All this is not due to the subjective will of the male protagonist. The male protagonist also suffered a great blow, and endured humiliation, and finally killed his enemies one by one, avenging his family members.
Yuan Jing couldn't hate the male protagonist who was tortured both mentally and physically, and even felt a little sympathy for him. However, no matter how much sympathy he felt, he had now become Zhai Yuanjing, and would soon die in the revenge of the enemies caused by Zhai Yuanhao. Yuan Jing sighed deeply in his heart, and had to get up and work hard to fulfill his original wish, so that the family could survive as much as possible from this disaster of genocide, and hoped that the family could become stronger.
Yes, the original body had only this one wish. Even though he knew that the genocide was caused by his cousin, he did not hate him at all, because he knew that the ultimate reason for the family's destruction was that the family was too weak. In such a world where the strong prey on the weak, if it was not for this reason, it would be destroyed for other reasons by the strong who regard the weak as ants.
The original person only felt the sorrow of being weak, so the desire that was aroused in his heart was actually the same as that of the male protagonist, that is, to become strong and make the entire family strong enough to no longer be ignored or underestimated.
But Yuan Jing is also very clear that avoiding this genocide does not mean that the family will be safe. As long as the Zhai family is involved with the male protagonist Zhai Tianhao, they will face a catastrophe at any time, because the male protagonist's path to becoming stronger is achieved by being physically and mentally tortured by various powerful people.
In other words, as long as the male protagonist is still the lucky son of this world, all these bad things are inevitable. Either the male protagonist kills others, or others take their anger out on the people around the male protagonist, and the family will be the first to bear the brunt.
"Yuan Jing, are you up? Get up quickly. We agreed to set off for the imperial capital together today." There was a knock on the door outside.
Yuan Jing rubbed his head. Here it comes, as expected. Not only the male protagonist is here, but also the disaster is coming. It was this trip to the imperial capital that brought about the enemy who wanted to exterminate the clan. Therefore, not only did he have to go, but he also had to find a way to help the male protagonist and his family avoid this disaster. As for future development, he could only consider it after this disaster was avoided.
"Come, come."
Yuan Jing quickly got up from the bed, put on his clothes and folded his quilt. He opened the door and saw the young man Zhai Tianhao with a very sunny smile. It was a pity that such a sunny boy only lasted until the clan was exterminated. The future male protagonist would be a man with a lot of suffering and hatred.
