During the years that Xu Jing served as an official, he accumulated a lot of connections, and these connections became the stepping stones for him after he became the Prime Minister.
There are six departments in the court, and he has made some contribution to each department.
As the saying goes, "dripping water wears away a stone." Years of management and research allowed the reforms to accumulate like drops of water in the laws of Dayan. From a difficult state to be accepted, it was gradually accepted by the world, like a frog in boiling water.
The Great Yan Kingdom also gradually developed from its initial difficulties to a state of revival.
The revival of the dynasty wasn't his peak. During Xu Jing's tenure, he pushed the economy of the Great Yan Kingdom to its peak, achieving a complete baptism in history. As a result, the fate of the Great Yan Kingdom was reversed, lasting for a full century.
Meanwhile, the Jiannu did not give up on their invasion of Dayan's territory. However, due to their military inferiority to the later-coming Dayan, they were subjected to fierce attacks. Eventually, they became a vassal state of Dayan and submitted to the Emperor of Dayan.
Jiang Xuqing's name has also been engraved in the hearts of the people of Dayan. When he was still alive, people voluntarily erected a monument for future generations to pay homage to him.
His deeds were also recorded in a separate biography and engraved in the history books of Dayan for future generations to read and learn from.
(Extra)
Bai Shinian admires his master very much.
Thinking back to when his master, a seventh-rank official, was assigned to the barren land of Muhe County, Bai Shinian felt that there was no hope in his life if he followed him.
At most, he could make a little money in Muhe County, and then use the money to find a wife, but his life would rot in the mud of the Northeast.
Unexpectedly, ever since the Jiannu army attacked Muhe County at night, Mr. Jiang suddenly became enlightened as if he had been instructed by an expert.
Not only did he personally take part in the battle and defeat the Russians through command, but he was also commended by the court and became a prefect of the fifth rank.
It's so glorious to follow the prefect. It's much better than going out on your own and becoming a Mr. Shen.
And thanks to the master, his concubine Luqiao gave birth to a big fat boy for him.
On the day of the birth, Bai Shinian was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He even took out all his savings to treat the yamen runners to a few drinks and also prepared several tables for the full moon banquet.
After the full moon banquet, Bai Shinian's family fortune was completely drained. Just when he was worried about having no money to spend, he unexpectedly received a gift from his master. And it wasn't just a small amount; it was an endless supply.
In Bai Shinian's heart, Mr. Jiang was undoubtedly his savior, like a living Buddha in a temple. Not only would he add icing on the cake, but the timely rain also came so violently.
Bai Shinian was so excited that his eyes were filled with tears, and he hugged his concubine and cried bitterly that day.
The next day, Bai Shinian was eager to work with his master. If his master told him to go east, he would never go west.
So, he went wherever the master went.
Because of his outstanding performance, the master was promoted by the emperor to be the prefect of Gusu. Although his identity was still Master Bai, the prime minister's doorman was a seventh-rank official, and his identity also changed imperceptibly along with the master.
After coming to Gusu, Bai Shinian originally thought that he could enjoy the blessing of having many wives and take in a few more concubines.
He never imagined that these officials, who usually treated each other like brothers, were actually evil spirits when they went out. He was caught off guard and fell into their trap, and Luqiao was also killed by the concubine sent by the Taicang County Magistrate. When he was completely desperate, Master Jiang cleaned up the family, arrested those corrupt officials, and avenged Luqiao's unjust death.
After this battle, Bai Shinian calmed down. He no longer trusted those officials who deliberately approached him, and focused on building cars in seclusion. His life was given by his master, and he had to obey his master's words.
After staying in Suzhou for five years, my son is six years old.
Bai Shinian thought that it would be troublesome to have no wife at home, as there would be no one to take care of his children, so he begged Mr. Jiang to find him a marriage partner.
After much thought, Mr. Jiang married the third daughter of the eldest master of the Jiang family to him as his wife.
Bai Shinian was not happy at first. The third daughter of the Jiang family's eldest wife was a divorced woman. After all, he was now a favorite of a fourth-rank official. How could he marry a girl from a merchant family?
However, the master's arrangements always have a deeper meaning.
Even though Bai Shinian was unhappy, he still happily agreed to the marriage.
It was not until the wedding night that he learned the truth about their divorce from his new wife.
When Miss Jiang San was discussing her marriage, the mistress of the house listened to the instigation of the master's stepmother and married Miss San to Song He, the brother of Mr. Jiang Er.
What kind of person is Mr. Jiang? He is a famous playboy in the capital. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, so his brother is naturally not a good person either.
After the Third Miss got married, half of her dowry was not enough to fill the hole in the Song family. Song He also took in a prostitute from a brothel to annoy the Third Miss Jiang.
Afterwards, Miss Jiang San tearfully told this to Grandpa Jiang Da. Grandpa Jiang Da was furious and sent people to his house to argue. The Song family also joined in the fight. The two sides fought fiercely. Finally, under the mediation of the clan leader, Miss Jiang San took the divorce papers and returned to her parents' home.
Miss Jiang San originally wanted to practice Buddhism in the Buddhist temple at home for the rest of her life, but she accepted Bai Shinian under the persuasion of Jiang Erye's wife Chen Jiaojiao and Jiang Siye's concubine Yun Yanhong.
Chen Jiaojiao advised, "First of all, Bai Shinian has no wife or concubines. If you marry him, you will be the mistress of the house, and you will have the final say in everything in the family."
Moreover, Bai Shinian has a bright future with Jiang Xuqing, and his character is also reliable. The only thing to worry about is that there is a child in the family, but it is just a bastard. As long as you have a child, the inheritance right of the family property will still be your child.
Miss Jiang San was tricked into getting into the bridal sedan, and on her wedding night she told Bai Shinian everything, which calmed Bai Shinian's heart.
After letting go of his grudges, Bai Shinian accepted everything calmly. The couple lived in harmony after marriage. Although there were some bumps in the road, they lived a smooth life.
The only regret is that Miss Jiang San had a miscarriage caused by a concubine in the Song family's backyard, and she will never be able to have children.
Jiang was very concerned at first, but as the child became sensible and obedient, and Bai Shinian became particularly motivated, she put aside her prejudice, treated the illegitimate son as her own son, and encouraged him to become a successful person.
Many years passed, and Bai Shinian had a few more white hairs on his temples.
He watched his master running around in various departments, busy all day without stopping.
Bai Shinian envied his master's success at first, but later he stopped envying him.
He lived a very tiring life every day. He only had Concubine Yun by his side and didn't even have a wife.
Because of this incident, Master Jiang San had quarreled with the master many times, and even broke many of the rattan sticks used in family discipline, but the master never bowed his head.
Later, he asked the master why he didn't marry. The master said that he had given his heart to someone and he could never give up that position again.
