Chapter 147: The Old Fox's Set
Jiang Chengzi estimated that the holy decree should have arrived a long time ago, but unexpectedly it was postponed for several days.
Of course, she had long estimated what kind of waves her plan would cause in the court of the Tang Dynasty, at least an ancient monarch like Li Shimin would not refuse.
However, although he would not refuse, he always had to discuss it with the courtiers.
"Nine girls, the imperial court, the holy decree of the imperial court has come down. The porter's mother-in-law ran to the backyard panting, patted her chest, and said, "Madam, Madame called you to go and receive the holy decree." ”
Jiang Chengzi responded, and unhurriedly concentrated to find out where the knot of the pot of orchids was, but it was because Mrs. Liu over-fertilized the flowers, and the orchids were intolerant, and the "burning seedlings" only needed to be slowly conditioned and carefully cared for. But the people who cleaned up the orchid did not know its habits, and applied a lot of fertilizer, which eventually caused the orchid to be on the verge of death.
After finding out where the orchid disease was, she went to the front yard. The person who read the decree insisted on seeing the Nine Girls and Yang Qingrang before reading it, so they waited.
When Jiang Chengzi went, the front hall was already full of people. This small county town is not a military town, and it is a great thing to be able to get the holy decree of the Son of Heaven to reach it.
Therefore, almost all the people who could find an excuse to come to the sixth room of the Yang family to see the holy decree came. The messenger who announced the holy decree looked at the people whispering outside the main hall, and he was a little confused for a while.
When everyone saw the Nine Girls coming, they quickly got out of the way.
Yang Qingrang, Yang Shuyue, and Yang Wang had long been in the main hall to accompany the messenger. Na Qincha was a man in his thirties, dressed in a military uniform. It seems that the Tang Dynasty is really martial. Unlike in later generations, when the imperial court issued an edict, it had to be read by civil officials with a full shelf. is considered to be respect for the emperor.
A man in his thirties, bearded and burly, was sitting in the chief guest seat, and Yunzhu was serving him tea.
"Ah Zhi, this is General Wei from the imperial court. Yang Shuyue stood up and introduced the man who had sent the holy decree.
As soon as Jiang Chengzi heard that his surname was Wei, he knew that it was probably from Gaomen Wei. This big family of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Merriam-Webster counts as a one. This Li Shimin's harem has Wei Guifei, and then Wu Zetian's son married Wei's daughter, and then became the Empress Wei of the troubled dynasty.
"It was General Wei. Yang's Azhi is polite. Jiang Chengzi bowed.
The man laughed and said, "Among the high-ranking families, the Yang family is the most thoughtful. ”
Yang Wang's face darkened, probably because he didn't want this Wei clan's martial arts to comment on how the Yang family was in the future. Jiang Chengzi knew about Yang Wang's concerns. It was a glance at Yang. said: "I, the Yang family's thousand-year-old family, have been courteous for several weeks, and the general has appreciated it like this, and I have also received it." ”
"In Chang'an, I heard that the nine girls were knowledgeable, quite knowledgeable, and generous, and now I see it, and it is true. General Nawe was not in a hurry to read the decree. Instead, he talked to Jiang Chengzi.
Jiang Chengzi let out an "oh", his eyebrows bright. jokingly laughed: "It turns out that I am also so famous in Chang'an." ”
"The girl's name is loud and clear. General Wei said, but at the same time, he looked at the girl. I felt that the eyebrows of this girl were unusually clean and delicate, and the eyes were very clear, but they were so deep that people couldn't fathom them, and there was a faint fear that I wanted to bow my head unconsciously.
He killed the enemy on the battlefield, followed his son in the early years to fight in the north and south, and slept in the pile of dead, but no one could give him such a strong sense of unease. But the girl in front of him was standing there, and every move made him feel a strong oppression.
"But I don't know how loud it is? The name in this world is nothing more than a name that will go down in history, or it will be stinky for thousands of years, and no matter how bad it is, it will be famous. Her voice was clear.
General Wei was stunned for a moment, and then felt that it was not appropriate for him to talk to her like this, remembering that when the emperor asked him to be the messenger of the holy decree, Wei Guifei asked people to advise: "Don't say too much, be careful that if you say too much, you will lose." ”
At this moment, he suddenly realized that he was saying too much and would lose. It's not appropriate not to answer this girl's words. He smiled awkwardly and said, "The Shennong plan handed over by the nine girls shocked the whole court. ”
"General Wei laughed, but this Shennong plan was not handed over by me, but conceived by my eldest brother, the second son of Duyun Villa, and the king of Shu. Jiang Chengzi said slowly, still smiling.
The burly man's application was quite embarrassing, and when Yang Shu saw this, he scolded: "It's more and more unruly." General Wei is here on behalf of the Heavenly Family, and you still don't accept the order?"
Jiang Chengzi blinked mischievously, and said half-coquettishly: "How can it, this is made by the eldest brother, I am just studying things, and I am just studying with the second son of Yao, and the person who receives the order should be the eldest brother." ”
"The eldest man of the Yang family's six rooms can accept the order, which is also the meaning of the king of Shu. General Wei added.
When Jiang Chengzi heard this, she was quite suspicious of his statement, but many people were watching outside, and she didn't do anything else, but only knelt down with her eldest brother to accept the order. The content of the decree is extremely simple, it is a boast of a crepe, verbal praise, and at the same time affirmation of the Shennong Foundation they established, and admit that this is an official and legal institution, Li Shimin wants to use the special funds of the imperial pen and Zhu to approve the special funds, which are audited by the imperial court every year, and the court officials must donate and fund, more than unlimited, less than three taels of silver.
Yang Qingrang accepted the holy decree very politely and enshrined it in the ancestral hall of the Yang family's six rooms.
When the county magistrate and others heard about this, they had already come to congratulate them, and then they educated the squires who came to congratulate them and the local wealthy families, saying that this was a great honor for Jinyuan County and they should fully support it.
Everyone knew the meaning of the county order, and they injected a little bit of their hearts into the fund of the Shennong plan to show their support.
This day is the summer solstice, which is also considered a festival.
Yang Wang's family first cooked the soup to cool off the heat for everyone to drink, and when it was time to prepare for the night banquet, many people said goodbye one after another. The sixth room of the Yang family prepared a small night banquet for General Wei, the minister of the Imperial Mission, and the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy who came with General Wei.
He said that he was a young man, but he was dressed as an adult man and had a mustache. Dressed as an ordinary attendant, he doesn't have an official uniform, and he looks like an ordinary man's son and brother wandering around the market. And when he entered the sixth room of the Yang family, he only stood beside General Wei.
But there are many people in Yang's sixth room. Needless to say, Yang Wang's family used to be a pseudo-white rabbit, and now he is a big-tailed wolf. And Yang Qingrang has always been smart. Even Yunzhu is extremely observant. Jiang Chengzi's work in the army in her previous life also required her to have such the ability to recognize people and faces, so she was also specially trained. Therefore, she also saw that the man was extraordinary.
Sure enough, after General Wei read out the holy decree and the noisy crowd left, the young man visited Yang Shuyue and explained his identity. It was an envoy sent by Li Shimin, but he said the official rank. Jiang Chengzi didn't understand. Because she really didn't understand the official rank system of the Tang Dynasty, just looking at the expressions of her father and mother, she knew that this person's official rank was not small.
Of course. The most important thing is that this person's surname is the eldest grandson.
Jiang Chengzi was stimulated by the word "eldest grandson" and trembled, and couldn't help but mention 120,000 points of defense.
As far as she knew, the eldest grandson Wuji brother and sister were not welcomed in the family, and their relationship with the eldest grandson family was weak. Afterward. The eldest grandson Wuji's brother and sister are developed. One became the queen, and the other became a minister with power leaning towards the government and the opposition. The eldest grandson family also came to visit Lala's relationship, thinking about what kind of benefit.
But the eldest grandson queen is the virtuous queen, and the eldest grandson Wuji is also a virtuous minister, how can she be so favoritistic, so she directly rejected the request of the family members. The end result is that the eldest grandson clan and the eldest grandson queen brother and sister draw a clear line.
Then, in this way, the eldest grandson clan above the court is in addition to the eldest grandson Wuji. It should be his son. It's just that the eldest grandson has many heirs. I don't know which one it is.
Jiang Chengzi, as a daughter's family, naturally it is not easy to inquire about the other party's situation. Even at the night banquet, it is inconvenient to be too showy, but to dine behind the curtain with a group of female dependents.
However, after the banquet, the young man and General Wei visited Jiang Chengzi under the guidance of Yang Qingrang.
At that time, Jiang Chengzi had just treated the pot of orchids and finished writing down the experience of feeding orchids. Yang Qingrang shouted loudly outside the door: "Ah Zhi, General Wei and the eldest grandson said that they want to pay a visit to you." ”
"Boudoir woman, it's late at night. Please come back tomorrow. Jiang Chengzi refused through the curtain.
The three of them were slightly embarrassed, and General Nawei was the first to speak: "It was just a decree before, and it was a little official. At this moment, the private meeting was ordered by His Majesty and the King of Shu to inform the nine girls if they had something. ”
"Even so, those guys wait. Jiang Chengzi replied unhurriedly. After that, he put on a veil and hat, ordered people to bring tea and pastries, and talked with the guests through the curtain.
Outside the curtain, General Nawei and the young man knelt on the seat, and Yunzhu served tea and fruits. The young man had a drink with General Wei, and General Wei said: "The Shennong plan submitted by the Yang family to the imperial court by the sixth room of the Yang family has been seen by everyone earlier, and they are shocked. However, we are not reckless, and we attach great importance to this plan. Therefore, the ministers of the DPRK and China were summoned to discuss the matter again and again. Then, he summoned the king of Shu back to Chang'an to ask one or two. Therefore, these days have been delayed. ”
This is a big deal, so we should be cautious. Jiang Chengzi replied slowly.
General Nawei said with a smile: "I heard that in the sixth room of the Yang family, the ninth girl is talented and knowledgeable. It is a good match for the king of Shu, and it is indeed worthy of its reputation when I see it today. ”
"There are rumors in the public, why is the general more serious? And it is still based on what everyone says. Jiang Chengzi's voice was calm.
When General Nawei heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat a little, this girl was really powerful, and she didn't move, and pointed out her inappropriate behavior between words. A general always wants to know about the rumors, but he shouldn't.
Therefore, he immediately smiled awkwardly and said, "It's excited at the next moment, and it's very reckless." ”
"The general is too modest. It was Ah Zhi who was eager to know what everyone meant about Shennong's plan. Jiang Chengzi is full of laughter, and the crisp children's voice has the coquettishness of shares.
General Wei was stunned for a moment, all around him were yellow warblers out of the valley, and the breeze was coming slowly, and for a while, he didn't speak. The young man next to him saw the clue and pulled him.
General Wei came back to his senses, coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, and continued: "After several discussions, everyone went to the court to discuss a few times. Everyone has always thought that this plan, well, of course it is planned, and it took a long time for everyone to know what it meant. Later, I heard that the Nine Girls were the master disciples of the immortals outside the Fangwai, and they had only returned to the mortal world not long ago, and they had their own differences. ”
When Jiang Chengzi heard this, he knew that during this time, Li Shimin was not only discussing the Shennong plan, but also conducting an all-round investigation of her. It should be said that Li Shimin's holy decree now must be to investigate everything about Yang Minzhi from birth to the present, and I am afraid that he has never let go of the slightest detail.
He is an excellent schemer, but also an excellent superior, knowing that people make good use of this kind of thing is not a simple compliment, but something that every superior will do. It's not just the blood drops, East Factory, and West Factory that are rumored in later generations to do it, but those Ming Jun will do this kind of thing, and they will not use one person just based on the words of a minister.
"Employing people without suspicion, suspecting people without suspicion" is what the people who pat the horse and whiskers said. People can do this because they have already found out the eight generations of their ancestors, and if you are a little troubled, they will uproot you immediately.
"I have been in a state of flux since I was a child, and my master is benevolent, and he has committed the red dust precepts, so he took me back to Xiandao to practice and teach some calligraphy. It was not originally mortal. However, Master was benevolent and couldn't see the suffering of the people in the world, so he violated the precepts and pointed me in the direction so that I could comprehend and explore on my own. Although I am not talented, I have met capable people and people, and I have the support of my Yang family and the king of Shu. I dare not know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth, and put forward this plan. Now, it is valued and supported by everyone. I'm going to do my best. Jiang Chengzi's voice was not slow, and he unswervingly said his life experience.
When General Wei heard this, he hurriedly said, "Miss Yang is really too humble. Everyone has issued an order for the Shennong plan to go to Jiannan Province and Yizhou, and ask the local garrison and officials to fully cooperate with you. This is a major event that has never been seen since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. You can see how people support you. ”
Jiang Chengzi thanked him and thought to himself: This Li Shimin is really a good person, and this decree not only shows that the imperial court attaches great importance to this matter, but also can get the state governments to contribute money and efforts to solve the problem of appropriation by the imperial court.
Of course, Jiang Chengzi knew Li Shimin's abacus from the beginning, and also knew that after the plundering of Geely, the treasury of the Tang Dynasty was empty, and Li Shimin was eager to tear off a handful of hairs from anyone. She took advantage of the psychology of everyone's love for false names, and positioned the Shennong Project Foundation as official crowdfunding from the beginning.
In terms of marketing, she is also a good hand, and she has done a lot of digging holes and burying people. As a company leader, she has a thorough understanding of the heart of the superior.
Therefore, while proposing the plan, she cleverly found an official crowdfunding method for Li Shimin.
The people in power, especially the poor iron rooster Li Shimin, wish that there was a powerful plan to make the country rich and the people strong, and they didn't need to pay for it themselves. Therefore, Jiang Chengzi thought of these as early as when designing the plan.
Of course, Yang Qingrang doesn't know much about this, after all, he is a child, and he still has the righteous spirit of a scholar. Although Yao Ziqiu is a businessman's family, he has never run it himself, and he doesn't seem to understand. Only Li Ke saw her actions, just covered his mouth and laughed for a long time, and whispered in her ear: "Your daughter-in-law, my father must be very satisfied." (To be continued.) )
