Chapter 251: Recommendations
Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo would come to such a conclusion, in fact, it is really not surprising.
If Zhao Shuo really has the heart to pass on his son to the crown prince as his heir, then he needs to have a son-in-law who does not have the blood of the Wang family. The child in Xiao Wang's womb does not meet this requirement, and Zhao Mo doesn't want to pass on, so he can only have another one, and the biological mother of this child can't be Xiao Wang's. Since it can't be Xiao Wang's family, and it must be a wife, Zhao Shuo's remarriage is inevitable. If he has the heart to kick out the little Wang family and marry another famous lady, why should he agree to cooperate with the Wang family? It is clear that he wants to squeeze out the final value of the Wang family.
Thinking about it carefully, the Wang family chose a son-in-law for their daughter-in-law, and they wanted to support him on the throne in order to bring greater wealth to the Wang family, but it was ironic to choose such a thin lover. Thinking about it again, Zhao, the son-in-law of the clan who was picked by their family last time, is also not a good product. Zhang Gongzi, who was selected for the eldest granddaughter, is even more brazen. Lord Wang's vision of choosing a son-in-law is so poor, what kind of wealth and power do you expect? Honestly, like his brother Second Master Wang, he married his daughter into a kind scholarly family, maybe he can live a happier life now.
Thinking of this, Qin Hanzhen said to Zhao Mo: "Don't worry too much. This is just our inference, and it is not yet certain whether your father really thinks so. Even if he did have this plan, it wouldn't be a big deal. How can everything in this world be carried out according to his wishes? Not to mention whether the Wang family is really willing to be used by him and not make any resistance, and whether the little Wang family will really be calculated to death by him, and even if he really settles the Wang family smoothly, how can he guarantee that his newly married wife will definitely give birth to a son of the right age for him soon after marriage? What if the family gives birth to a daughter? What if the prince has already decided on the heir when the family gives birth to a son? What if his son is not smart and handsome enough to be born and the prince does not look down on him? There are so many people in the clan, who doesn't have a few little boys? Why do you have to pick your father's son? Besides, whether the prince really doesn't have a biological son, he himself may not know, how can your father and the eldest master say it accurately?"
Qin Hanzhen laughed twice: "There are so many variables, as long as one development is not as expected, your father's plan will be in vain." I see, if he is in peace, he may be truly rich and prosperous in the future. But if he has to toss endlessly, he has to squeeze into the royal family, and he doesn't know how many blows he will suffer in the future. I don't know anything else, but today's saint is not a foolish master. ”
Zhao Mo smiled slightly: "My cousin is right. I also think that my father thinks too well, but he has been trying his best to become a master in the past few years. When others persuaded him, he would not listen. He is no longer the father who cherished his mother and me in the Liao Wang's Mansion at the beginning. Whether he is in power or down, it has nothing to do with me. He doesn't want to pass on the title to me, the eldest son, and I won't turn back to him in a low voice, so it's far away, and we are safe with each other, and that's it. ”
Qin Hanzhen didn't quite agree with his idea: "Nonsense! Are you really planning to live in Jiangnan for the rest of your life? Just to make way for your father? Why? I think you should go back to the capital and go back generously! You are good friends with our family, with Brother Jian, and you have a good relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." You can go back openly and maintain friendly relations with the East Palace, without having to look at your father's face. If necessary, you can also tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about your own situation. lest His Royal Highness the Crown Prince look at your father differently because of you, but make you feel wronged. I don't believe that the emperor and the prince can really look at him well, and the reason why he treats him politely is mostly in your face. I think that sometimes in order to show one's innocence, it is completely unnecessary to disassociate oneself from relatives and friends who have a good relationship. The emperor and the crown prince are both thighs, they are willing to let you hug them, you just have to hug them. Your father doesn't want to give you the title to inherit, can't you earn a title for yourself? It doesn't matter which son your father favors or which concubine you like, you just have to live your comfortable life behind closed doors, and you don't have to mess with them!"
Zhao Mo's face flushed slightly when he heard this, and he lowered his head a little embarrassedly: "Is it really hypocritical?"
Qin Hanzhen said frankly: "The whole world wants to hug the thighs of those two, and our relatives like the Qin family have a foothold in Beijing by hugging their thighs." Doesn't your father want to hug him? Why do you have to behave differently when everyone hugs? You don't plan to get any advantage by hugging your thighs, or ask for a superior position or anything. The prince cares about you and treats you well, so you can repay him the respect and love he deserves. As long as you think of the other party as an uncle, why think too much?"
Zhao Mo coughed, touched his nose, and decided to change the topic slightly: "Cousin Fangcai's words are very reasonable. If I could really earn myself a knighthood and add a house, even if it was just a small house for one or two, it would be a beautiful day to think about. I didn't think about it that much before, but when my cousin mentioned it today, I really felt that I shouldn't be lazy anymore, and I should think about my future. ”
Not to mention anything else, if he has his own title and house, what he wants to do at home, he doesn't have to be bound by his father, and he doesn't need to send people under the fence anymore. The Qin family treats him very well, but if he has a house of his own, he can enshrine the tablet of his deceased mother at home, and he can also entertain his uncles, grandparents, and cousins to play at home.
Even, in the future, he will marry a wife and start a family, and he will also have a property of his own. If he can only borrow someone else's place to marry a daughter-in-law, how can he convince others to trust him with the pearl of his palm?
Zhao Mo glanced at Qin Hanzhen vaguely and cleared his throat: "I really want to get a knighthood for myself, but how can I do it in order to get the emperor's other eyes and get a knighthood? But this matter was already done at that time, and I didn't mention it at the time, and now that a year has passed, how can I be cheeky to mention it again? But I'm only afraid that my own people are weak and may not be able to earn a knighthood for myself. ”
Qin Hanzhen helped him analyze: "The clan bestows knights, there are generally rules, right? You should be very clear about this kind of thing." If you don't inherit the title of your ancestors, but give another knighthood, most of them will be knighted because of their meritorious service to the country. What kind of merit is usually given? One is military merit, and now that the border has been peaceful for many years, you are too young to fight, so you can only pass. ”
Zhao Mo blinked: "What are you afraid of?"
Qin Hanzhen coughed: "It's nothing, it just means that you don't need to think about it." Let's talk about the other one, that is, you have made contributions to the imperial court, such as doing the errand assigned by the emperor very well and exceeding expectations; for example, in the event of a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, you have made a lot of money for the imperial court; and for example, you have come up with any policies, measures or inventions that are of great benefit to the people of the country, and you have presented them, and the emperor appreciates them very much, and when he is happy, he will reward you with a knighthood; and so on. Which of these do you think your cousin can do?"
Zhao Mo groaned: "At my current age, it is impossible for the emperor to tell me what errands to do, but in a few years, it is possible." I am confident that I can ask for an errand in front of the emperor and the crown prince, and I am confident that I can do it well. But that's another story. Also, the past few years have been smooth, although it is not without natural and man-made disasters, but that is not something I can mix. As for the policies and ......inventions that are beneficial to the country," he paused, "I may be able to come up with some ideas, but I don't have a clue at the moment." ”
Qin Hanzhen remembered one thing: "Cousin Zhao, do you remember that when we went south, we took a boat through Shandong, and you and Brother Jian went ashore to inquire about the local customs and customs, and inquired about whether there was a place with saline-alkali land?"
Zhao Mo quickly remembered: "I remember." Because of the saline land, the local officials were incompetent, so the people were poor, and many people could only be abducted and cheated and petty theft in the area around the wharf. My uncle and grandfather also taught me and Brother Jian a lot of words at that time. ”
"That's it. Qin Hanzhen said, "Cousin Zhao, in fact, I don't know much about saline-alkali land, but I don't remember who said it, telling that the places near the sea, as well as the banks of the river, may be affected by the river or sea water, and the salt in the water accumulates in the soil and cannot be drained away, so the good land becomes saline-alkali land." To restore such land to good land, it is necessary to drain and wash salt so that the salt in the soil is reduced. I can't tell you exactly how this works, but it seems that you want to take clean water to irrigate and wash salt, right? You may have to find someone to inquire about it. But I know that some plants can be planted in saline-alkali land, and if they are planted for a long time, they can also improve the soil quality and make saline-alkali land become good land again. ”
Zhao Mo was surprised: "How did my cousin know about such a thing?!Could it be that your uncle and grandfather taught you?!"
Qin Hanzhen smiled dryly: "This ...... Not really. I don't remember where I heard it. My grandfather probably didn't know much either, otherwise he would have told you and Brother Jane when he went south. I only know of several kinds of trees that are suitable for planting in saline-alkali land, and if you want to plant in Shandong, it may be white willow. In fact, there are several kinds of willow and poplar trees that are very suitable. If you want to grow something that can generate a little more economic value, wolfberry and oriental cypress are also good choices, both of which are medicinal herbs and are more commonly used. In fact, if it is in the northwest kind of place, sand dates and poplars are also very good. ”
"Hmm......" Zhao Mo was silent in thought.
Qin Hanzhen looked at his expression and felt that there seemed to be a drama in this matter, so he said: "Cousin Zhao, I actually only know a little bit about this matter, and at most I can only give you an idea for reference." If you think you can do it, why don't you go to a few experts and people who are good at this aspect of affairs and inquire about it? There must also be saline-alkali land in Jinling, and there must be some around the capital. If you're interested in doing some research in this area, ask a few more people to help you with the details and do experiments. After a few years, I don't believe that there will be no achievements!" 2k reading network
