1231, harvest
- Although Ruan Luo has doubts about this matter, he is a native of Nan Zhao after all, and Liang is only a guest country to him, and if the level of the matter rises to the level of Sheji, then no matter whether he has the strength to do anything for it, at least the banner he advocates should belong to Nan Zhao's side.
Quickly put down the complicated thoughts in his heart, Ruan Luo took out a box from the desk drawer, and then took out an account book from the box and opened it, only to see that this account book was a word-for-word white book, which contained three pieces of paper with a somewhat unusual format, which were imitations of the silver tickets based on the real silver ticket of the Yan family.
"Don't wrinkle, don't get wet, or it will lose its effectiveness." Ruan Luo spread out his palm and pointed to the few paper tickets spread out on the table, and the tone of his words was strict, only the meaning of admonition, so it seemed a little rude in front of a generation of emperors, "The fine imitation is completely in accordance with the original paper ticket system." However, due to time constraints, there are only three fine imitations, one of which is still ...... Northland. Specimens are kept for continued imitation. There is also a high imitation, which is made from a fine imitation. There may be a slight flaw in the technology, but the advantage is that you can make zuò in batches, and the north side has handed one back first, please take a look. ”
"Hmm......" Wang Chi's gaze swept over the three paper bills on the desk, and he groaned.
He was very satisfied with this result, and he was also very satisfied with Ruan Luo's cautious attitude. Although these three counterfeit bills are fake, they are precious. If Ruan Luo, because he was the emperor, tactfully did not explain the issues related to the protection of the bills, the losses that could be caused would be difficult to make up.
After a while, Wang Chi asked again, "Is there a letter from the north that is handed back with this paper ticket?" ”
Although he is an emperor. Coordinate the world, but not all industries can be flexibly understood. In the matter of distinguishing the authenticity of silver tickets. He can admit that he is not as good as the subtle counterfeiters in a group. But he believed the judgment given by Lin Shan.
Ruan Luo spread his hands slightly. Pointing to the white book, he said in a slightly slower tone, "On the fourth page." ”
Wang Chi easily opened the fourth page of the white album. But I saw a piece of snow paper, and there was not a single ink blot. However, he soon understood, and secretly thought that the third brother's mind was indeed as cautious as before. At the same time, he tore off the white paper on the fourth page of the white book.
When folding the white paper and putting it in his sleeve, Wang Chi also glanced at Ruan Luo with appreciation, this booklet had been placed with him for a few days, although he had already recognized the hidden words in the white book, but he was very disciplined and did not look at it.
When Ruan's father was still alive, he and Lin Shan, the first year of Ruan's father's sacrifice day. Lin Shan drank heavily and was drunk for three days and three nights, and the friendship between the two was not deep. However, today, Hayashi replied to Kyoto, and of course he knew that it would have to be passed through his friend's only son, but he still added a potion to cover up the ink.
This method is actually not very clever, if Ruan Luo wants to see it, he should be able to solve it, but Lin Shan does this. After all, it shows a problem. I am afraid that the content involved in this letter is suitable for only Wang Chi to read.
Of course, if Ruan Luo had to watch it, Wang Chi would definitely not really blame him.
But Ruan Luo's self-discipline is really good.
It's just that...... This child's heart is still softer. If he were needed to deal with life and death at every opportunity, he would probably not be as decisive as his father. When Ruan Luo took out the silver ticket that imitated the Yan family. A trace of worry in his eyes did not escape Wang Chi's observation, and at this moment he was appreciating Ruan Luo at the same time. Realizing this, I can't help but feel a little regretful.
It's not that the emperor who is high up does not look at the faces of others. Even when the emperor is an emperor, the spirit will be more sensitive and sensitive, but at the same time, this kind of person has learned to cultivate the king's spirit, recognize the overall situation, and will not dwell too much on some narrow things.
However, this wisp of softness in Ruan Luo's heart involves another problem, so Wang Chi often thinks about how to arrange it properly.
He still prefers that Ruan Luo can inherit his father's business, instead of being a businessman all the time.
There is no shortage of business candidates in the land of Nanzhao, but there is still a shortage of talents in the court of Nanzhao. Since the founding of the dynasty, Wang Chi has been grasping the recovery of the society with one hand, and holding the group of remnants of the old dynasty with the other. He had already decided that when the frontier was stable and the treasury was accumulated, he would really start purging the government and the opposition, carry out a major purge of the old ministers, and scrape a batch of carrion left over from the old dynasty.
At that time, the talent gap in the court will be even wider.
Although he had been preparing a supply source for this gap more than ten years ago, there was a key position in his heart that he had always wanted to leave to Ruan Luo...... Maybe this is an outlet to repay Ruan's father's merits, but it is more of a meritocracy.
However, this kid didn't seem to want to be an official at all, and kept a faint sense of distance from him.
Wang Chi had already added a title to Ruan Chenggang, taking care of Ruan Chenggang's last words, and this title was designated as hereditary, but it was also when this title was set, Ruan Luo actually went to northern Xinjiang, traveled to Xiaoliang country, and stayed there for a few years, and the matter of inheriting his father's title has been put on hold.
After that, he finally returned to China, but soon after he was seriously ill and went to another county to recuperate, and the matter was put on hold again.
Three years ago, he returned to Kyoto again, this was his third chance to inherit his father's title, but at this time, Wang Chi put the matter on hold, just because he had realized that what Ruan Luo wanted was not this, and even a little disgusted with this. For Nguyen Chenggang's only child, if you can. Of course, Wang Chi wants to give him what he needs the most and likes the things he likes most, but if he can't give him this, it will also cause him trouble. He's going to have to reconsider.
But what does this child like and what does he need?
Observed for several years. Wang Chi couldn't figure out why, but noticed some things he was deliberately avoiding.
For example, alienating the royal court, alienating the royal family.
Even Wang Zhe, who was closest to him, has now become a character who likes to wander around and just doesn't like to go back to the palace to live.
Ruan Luo is not envious of being an official, and he wants to avoid power, and even now he is concentrating on his business career. In addition to paying taxes normally, most of the remaining profits of the commercial banks he runs are directly imported into the second district of the treasury after retaining the risk principal.
The accumulation in the second district of the treasury was directly allocated by the emperor. Most of the accounts were kept confidential. Ruan Luo did this, which was almost equivalent to directly giving the silver to the emperor of the current dynasty to spend casually.
If it weren't for an incident that happened in Dongfeng Tower a month ago. Regarding Ruan Luo's thoughts, Wang Chi may have to be so confused all the time. However. A month ago. When Yan Yu, the third oldest among the sons of the Yan family, tore off the silver ticket that only circulated in the Yan family in Dongfeng Tower, Wang Chi suddenly had an idea, and this idea may be able to achieve the effect of killing two birds with one stone, which prepares a way back for Lin Shan's questioning. You can completely test Ruan Luo's mind again.
Ruan Luo is not in good health, and he is not suitable for battlefield training like his father, but a good knife must be knocked to open the seal, and Wang Chi is ready to use the bloodless battle he is planning now to knock Ruan Luo's heart. From ability to determination, does he have the qualifications to take on that important position in the future of the empire. It's in the midst of this test.
After putting away the Tibetan secret letter, Wang Chi looked at Ruan Luo and slowly spoke: "Were you thinking just now, why did I do these things?" ”
Ruan Luo was slightly stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Wang Chi to take the initiative to mention this matter, and he could see that he would mention this sentence because he had already seen something from his expression just now.
After a moment of silence, Ruan Luo didn't avoid anything, and only answered one word bluntly: "Yes." ”
Wang Chi was going to ask Ruan Luo if he had a good relationship with the Yan family. will worry about it. However, these words turned in his heart a few times, and finally he didn't say it.
When he spoke again, Wang Chi was equivalent to giving Ruan Luo a reassurance: "Don't worry, I don't want to do anything to the Yan family." ”
Listen to him say something that is close to a promise. Ruan Luo was really a little relieved in his heart, but at the same time, he felt incomprehensible, because Wang Chi arranged for someone to imitate the Yan family's silver ticket. It doesn't look like a good thing.
Wang Chi's promise was followed by half a sentence that had not been finished, and he only paused for a moment. Then he added: "But there is one thing at the moment that compels me to build an embankment. But as long as the family doesn't really do the kind of thing I have to worry about, the embankment is transparent, can you understand my distress? ”
"The state is in danger, and the late life understands." Ruan Luo's eyes drooped slightly, although he knew that he had to reply cautiously at the moment, he still couldn't help but ask again: "I don't know what this makes my uncle have scruples?" ”
Wang Chi came here today, and he was ready to discuss this matter with him, and he still had some uncertain feeling that he might refuse, but as soon as he opened his mouth like this at this time, it seemed that this matter could be settled immediately.
Wang Chi smiled slightly and said: "Although I have the intention to make Nanzhao Commercial Bank bloom everywhere, I must admit that I am not an expert in this industry, so some things must be done by someone else." ”
At this time, Ruan Luo could already feel a problem, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
Wang Chi summoned a royal guard outside the door to come in. This guard had obviously been instructed to arrange before leaving the palace with His Majesty, and when he entered the study, he didn't say much, he directly pulled out a scroll from his tight sleeve, handed it to Wang Chi with respectful hands, and then quickly turned around and went out, closed the door, and continued to guard the door.
Seeing this scene for the first time, Ruan Luo thought that Wang Chi was going to issue a secret decree in person, and was about to make another big gift to receive the decree, but was stopped by Wang Chi and only asked him to vacate the desk.
After all the things on the table were removed and placed in a corner of the bookshelf, Wang Chi put down the scroll in his hand at one end of the desk, pulled out the string, and pushed the scroll away with a flick of his fingers. This scroll is much wider than the material format of the Yellow Silk Decree, from one end of the desk to the other, the pattern in the shaft is not a whole, but is divided into four plates, mostly very simple fine brush line composition, vertical and horizontal but people at a glance only feel extremely complex.
"You and the Yan family are considered peers, and they are also peers who have cooperated many times." The smile on Wang Chi's face was still the same, "There are many common topics among peers, everything is easy to discuss, and more importantly, you are by the side of the Yan family, and it is less likely for him to suspect that you represent my eyes." ”
Ruan Luo's eyes were slightly cold, he didn't expect that what he had tried so hard to avoid just a month ago would still fall on him. Moreover, this time the person he was facing was the Nanzhao Monarch, and no matter what, he couldn't find a suitable reason to refuse.
Pretending to be sick is no longer easy to use, not to mention that his body has been recuperated in the past two years to be stronger than before, and even the wind and cold minor illnesses are gone, only to say that the last time he used this trick, he still asked the few Langzhong he knew to cooperate well, but this kind of play will definitely not work in front of the emperor.
Well, this errand was taken over.
Ruan Luo was silent for only a moment before deciding on his choice.
If the Yan family itself is stable, it is equivalent to running a long business. And this kind of thing is not uncommon in business activities, and when the people of the Yan family see that they have left Kyoto and appeared in a different place, it is really rare to find doubts, and they can make excuses.
It's just that......
Just when Ruan Luo was about to make up his mind and prepare to announce his order, he suddenly saw something familiar from the strange brushwork scroll on the table, and at this time, a question also popped up in his heart.
This line map depicts the topography of the Daqingchuan River Basin.
A few years ago, when Ruan Luo was still recuperating in Bo County, Wang Zhe accompanied him to live in a courtyard. Wang Zhe's biggest hobby is not only to eat all the wild game in the mountains of Bo County, but also to study geography, and in the past three years, he has collected several large bundles of geography books in his study. Although Ruan Luo was not very interested in this aspect, these books were piled up in front of him, and three years were a long time, and of course he inevitably read a few of them.
Since then, one of the places that Wang Zhe has always talked about is the Daqingchuan River Basin.
It wasn't that he would go there on his next leg of his travels, he was just worried about his emperor's father, and he was always thinking about bringing that place into Nanzhao's territory as soon as possible.
As soon as I have time, I will think about this time, not because Wang Zhe is a warlike person, but because there is a group of barbarians living in that place, who do some evil things every day to rob homes and slaughter innocents, which can really be described as an evil force that harms one side. Even ordinary people, after hearing the tragedy from that place, they were eager to wave a kitchen knife to punish the culprit.
After the strange natural disappearance of the Sichuan garrison, the barbarians actually began to prepare for the local emperor, and if the evil sores were not exposed, Daqingchuan was a great river rich in fresh water resources, and I am afraid that it would not be able to benefit the people in the future -- no people dared or were willing to go to that place to cultivate and live.
As the son of the royal clan, Wang Zhe has the qualifications and obligations to take charge of this matter, regardless of whether he will be elected as the prince in the future until he ascends the throne.
Even if he wanted to degenerate into the kind of royal child described in the folk storytelling jokes who could be prosperous and wealthy by doing nothing all day long, the current emperor would not allow his son to be such a bastard...... (To be continued......)
