Braised World!
It was Jiang Yi who opened the braised food shop after she had enough capital. In one year, Lu Tianxia opened all over Huainan East Road, with a total of hundreds of shops.
This rapid expansion was described by Jiang Yi as the "China Speed."
Of course, having more shops and making more money will naturally attract envy.
There are always people trying to get involved in both the legitimate and criminal worlds.
But who would have thought that the female owner of Lu Tianxia was actually a master!
Within a year, wherever Jiang Yi's "Lu Tianxia" (a type of braised food business) opened, the local gang forces were taken over by Jiang Yi.
To put it bluntly, if they wanted to rebel, they could easily muster an army of tens of thousands of men.
In addition, Jiang Yi has also won over most of the local officials in Huainan East Road through various means.
With protection from both the legitimate and criminal worlds, Lu Tianxia expanded out of Huainan East Road.
First Huainan West Road, then Liangzhe Road, Jiangnan East Road, Jiangnan West Road...
Jiang Yi's business empire continues to expand, no longer limited to braised food, but also including salt, silk, tea, real estate...
Of course, the most important thing is real estate, that is, land.
Jiang Yi did not become a miser; instead, she invested the money she earned into circulation, purchasing large amounts of land and leasing it to the people at very favorable prices.
...
In ten years, Jiang Yi's influence had silently spread throughout the Song Dynasty.
As for Sheng Minglan, under Jiang Yi's special care, it would be most fitting to describe her as both scholarly and martial.
In fact, Jiang Yi did not watch the entire series because some of the plot points were truly cringe-worthy for her.
Now, Jiang Yi discovers that, with her intervention, the Sheng family has completely embarked on a different path.
Wang Ruofu is gone!
Old Mrs. Sheng is gone too!
Although Lin Qinshuang was not officially recognized as the principal wife, Sheng Hong did not remarry.
Although Sheng Hong was still in the court, he was just an insignificant nobody. As for Sheng Changbai, he had lost his talent and failed the imperial examinations repeatedly; he hadn't even settled down in marriage yet.
Lin Qinshuang turned the Sheng family mansion into a complete mess.
However, Jiang Yi had no intention of letting the Sheng family off so easily.
To be precise, she needed to settle old scores with Lin Qinshuang regarding Wei Xiaoniang.
After all, a life for a life.
Lin Qinshuang caused Wei Xiaoniang to die in childbirth; two lives were lost, and this debt must be settled.
Over the years, Jiang Yi's influence has extended throughout the entire Song Dynasty, and the power she wields is enough to gather an army of a million.
To put it bluntly, with just one order from Jiang Yi, the entire Song Dynasty could be overthrown.
At first glance, this seems like a fantasy.
But that is the truth.
To be honest, Jiang Yi herself found it hard to believe that she held such power.
Most importantly, Jiang Yi brought the strongest border army of the Northern Song Dynasty under her control.
Whether against the Western Xia or the Liao Dynasty, the Northern Song border army won many battles thanks to the firearms provided by Jiang Yi. However, the so-called high-ranking officials in the court managed to suppress these military achievements.
"A bunch of idiots!"
Thinking of the Jingkang Incident that later occurred in the Northern Song Dynasty, Jiang Yi simply couldn't bear to watch anymore.
Isn't it just rebellion?
Zhao Kuangyin seized the throne from an orphan and widow, how disloyal and unjust! Yet later generations still praise the Song emperors for their benevolent rule and leniency towards the people.
To put it bluntly, it was simply because the emperors of the Song Dynasty were incompetent and could only compromise with the scholar-officials below them. As the beneficiaries of the system, the scholar-officials naturally had to give it a good shout-out.
