Chapter 170: I'll tell you a story
The Four Seas Inn, which belongs to a medium-sized inn in Kaifeng, is not in a lively and prosperous area, so the business has not been prosperous.
However, this period of time has been different recently, and people from all over the country have gathered in Kaifeng to prepare to participate in this Keqiu Festival.
However, the business of the Four Seas Inn is still the same as before, until the exam is about to start in a few days, and all the people are not fully occupied.
The official of the Ministry of Officials followed the person who reported the name of his relatives to the Four Seas Inn, and then he discovered the trickiness in it.
The Four Seas Inn, as early as a month ago, was chartered by a mysterious person, and it was chartered with a lot of money.
Almost all of the people who came to the inn one after another spoke with an accent from the Taiyuan area, and there were about thirty or forty people.
The official realized that it was very likely that these people were all impostors and came from the Northern Han Dynasty, so what did they want to do when they came to participate in the Autumn Festival of the Great Zhou?
"Your Majesty, the minister's subordinates immediately reported to the minister, and the minister didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately reported to Wei Xiang."
Wei Renpu took over the conversation and said:
"The matter is big, and the minister does not dare to slack off, and not many people know about this matter at present, and the minister does not dare to make decisions on his own, so he will take Lord Sui to meet Your Majesty immediately."
Guo Zongxun probably understood that there were actually many literati on the Northern Han side who secretly infiltrated the Great Zhou, and someone specially organized it.
After they came to Da Zhou, they probably spent a lot of money to buy the identity of Da Zhou Xiucai's son in various places.
Then, these people with fake identities mixed into Kaifeng and all lived in the Four Seas Inn.
"It's my negligence, and it's also to blame those who are willing to sell their identities, nine times out of ten, they can't bear the temptation of heavy money."
Guo Zongxun sighed with emotion, turned his head to look at Li Tongjie and Wei Zhongxian, and these two immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to plead guilty.
"Old slave, the slave should die, so many people have mixed into Kaifeng, the Spiegel Division and Jinyiwei don't know, the old slave, the slave should die."
"You two are damned, get out of here and investigate, don't alarm them, I'm going to investigate the people behind the scenes."
"Old slave, slave obeys."
Li Tongjie and Wei Zhongxian left in a hurry, and Guo Zongxun turned his head and smiled at Wei Renpu and Sui Guozhe:
"Let Wei Xiang and Sui Aiqing smile, there are talented people in the Northern Han Dynasty who want to participate in my Da Zhou's scientific expedition, I should welcome it, I should have made a list of the world a long time ago, and welcomed young students including Tubo and even Khitan, regardless of race, as long as they are willing to come to my Da Zhou to participate in the scientific expedition, I welcome it."
This should have been a good opportunity to greatly increase the popularity and prestige of Da Zhou, Guo Zongxun did regret it a little, why didn't he think of it earlier.
"Your Majesty, the minister is worried that these people have ill intentions, once they are allowed to pass the examination, enter the court or become officials in various places, it will have an unimaginable impact on my Great Zhou."
Guo Zongxun waved his hand and said with a smile:
"What Wei Xiang said, I am not worried at all, first, I will not immediately give these foreign students the opportunity to enter the court and go to the local government to become officials, and second, well, I will also tell you a story......
"Once upon a time, when two countries were at war, one side retreated to a small island, and before retreating, they left behind a large number of lurkers, who either surrendered or disguised themselves as civilians, and remained in the occupied territory, ready to fight back with their monarch at any time......"
"As a result, many of them have been pulled out one after another, and some people have been lucky enough to escape the Skynet and have been dormant."
"Gradually, over time, these people have forgotten who they are and have become very accustomed to the rule of the new monarch."
"Even, when their old masters sent people to contact them and asked them to wreak havoc in the local area, they tried every means to evade, and some simply killed the people who came to contact them."
"They don't want to be sleepers anymore, they really want to be ordinary people, and some people have even become local officials, why do they have to give up everything to work for an old master who is no longer able to fight back."
"What I want to tell you is that I am not afraid that they are coming with special tasks, what I want is for students from all over the world to vote, willing to join the Great Zhou, willing to become my Great Zhou people, to put it bluntly, I want this prestige."
"Wei Xiang, Sui Aiqing, don't you think that we can make good use of this matter?"
Let Guo Zongxun say this, Wei Renpu and Sui Guozhe glanced at each other, His Majesty's mind and calculation are really not comparable to those ordinary people like them.
"Your Majesty Shengming, the ministers admire."
"This matter, don't make a noise for the time being, I want to find out the person who organized this behind the scenes first, and see what he thinks."
"The ministers obey."
After Wei Renpu and Sui Guozhe went down, it didn't take much effort, Li Tongjie and Wei Zhongxian walked in with their hands and feet, and as soon as they came in, they all knelt on the ground with a pop.
"Your Majesty, the secret investigation of the matter of the Four Seas Inn has been ordered."
Guo Zongxun ignored them, but flicked the sleeves of his robe and walked towards the secret room in the imperial study.
"You two dogs, guard the door for me, and no one is allowed to come in."
The sexagenary branch system that Guo Zongxun had been waiting for for a long time was activated again.
"Ding...... The sexagenary branch system was launched, and because the emperor was determined to control the floods of the Yellow River, the system rewarded a lottery. ”
Last time, a Xu Guangqi was drawn, and then Guo Zongxun ascended the throne, and the system was quickly started again, but Guo Zongxun pulled himself out.
Chen Long, Guo Zongxun, is also one of the twenty-two people of the sexagenary branch system.
This made Guo Zongxun a little depressed, which meant that only twenty-one bigwigs could be drawn from the system to help him.
Entering the secret room, Guo Zongxun quickly entered the roulette space.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to turn it, you can turn the system yourself, you won't draw another one out of me."
The golden spoon began to rotate, the black and white yin and yang fish began to rotate, Guo Zongxun didn't care what he said, he still stared at the turntable, and prayed secretly.
It doesn't matter what you pray, it's just meaningless nonsense like Amitabha God blessing.
When the golden spoon stopped, the handle of the spoon pointed to the Tiangan Xin character grid, and the earthly branch Wei Yang grid.
The yin and yang fish is white against the handle of the spoon.
Tiangan Xinzige has already pulled out a Xu Guangqi, this time it must be the big guy of the earthly branch.
The ground branch was not raised, turned into a small token and fell into Guo Zongxun's hands.
Song Yingxing, Song Changgeng.
I'm going, it's a science and technology boss again, a famous scientist in the Ming Dynasty, the big guy who compiled the so-called Chinese seventeenth-century craft encyclopedia "Tiangong Kaiwu", Song Yingxing and Song Changgeng.
It just so happens that I just want to engage in cement, blast furnace ironmaking, and try to explore the primary mode of industrialization in Dazhou, with big guys like Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing, as well as contemporary heroes like Liu Liancheng and Qu Songsheng.
Guo Zongxun is full of confidence, if he really wants to get the cement out and wants to control the floods of the Yellow River, there is really great hope......
