Chapter 324: Zhao Zheng's Meizhou Investigation
Zhao Yuan took the candidates on the list to carry out closed training, but all things in Meizhou did not stop, Meizhou, where the trade route is smooth, every day, there are long queues, the unique transport carriages of the brother logistics transportation team, entering and leaving Meizhou and the outside world.
Affected by the Meizhou public examination, many students who went to Meizhou City added a huge flow of people to Meizhou City after arriving in Meizhou.
Where literati gather, there are always endless topics to talk about.
"There is a great deal of talk and laughter, and there is no vain exchange." Meizhou City has become more and more influential among scholars from all over Meizhou, and there are more and more poetry clubs and gatherings organized spontaneously.
There are also more and more people discussing Zhao Yuan's knowledge.
Jihe Building, as the foothold of the candidates on the list before participating in the centralized closed training, is full of guests every day.
As the most high-end restaurant in Meizhou, it has gradually become a favorite gathering place for literati and artists.
Zhao Zheng, the envoy of the Song Dynasty who went to various parts of Meizhou to investigate the people's situation, returned to Meizhou City with doubts after visiting several major cities around him in a row, and quietly stayed in Jihe Building.
"All parts of Meizhou have been stabbed by Zhao Yuan and run into an iron plate. Zhao Yuan's status in various parts of Meizhou has become an irreplaceable existence. ”
Looking at the lively scene in Jihe Building, which is different from any other city in this era, Zhao Zheng has mixed tastes in his heart.
"My nephew, it's really not simple, he is young, I don't know how to work hard to build such a foundation?"
Listening to the noisy chatter and laughter in Jihe Building, Zhao Zheng listened while drinking a little wine.
"This brother, I see that you are dressed extraordinary, but you are drinking alone, but what is the trouble?" A middle-aged scribe dressed a little uninhibitedly said to Zhao Zheng.
"How can Brother Tai see that I have something to worry about?" Zhao Zheng's face did not change, put down the wine glass and asked.
"Look at this Jihe Building, everyone is drinking freely, talking to each other, the whole Jihe Building, you are drinking alone here, isn't there something to worry about?"
"You're right, I'm a little bothered." Zhao Zheng said with a smile.
"Brother Tai is not from the boundary of Meizhou?"
"No, just passing through here."
"Then I advise my brother to take a walk around my Meizhou, take a look at the customs and customs of my Meizhou, and any troubles will disappear."
"It's just because I've walked around Meizhou that I'm bothered."
"This is unclear, all parts of Meizhou under the management of Lord Thorn Shi, it can be said that it changes once a month, there is no rebellion, there is no famine, in Meizhou, as long as a person is willing to work, he can live a good life, brother Tai sees this, how can he be bored."
"Tell you, you don't understand, but it's rare that you can come up and talk to me and have a drink together?" Zhao Zheng invited.
"Then it's disrespectful."
……
After Zhao Zhengcong and Zhao Yuan went around Meizhou City for a day, he took his entourage and went to several places in Meizhou, and the first stop was to choose the place where Zhao Yuan made his fortune, Danling Gray Plain.
Zhao Zheng had never been to Shu before, let alone such a remote place as Shudi, but in Gray Plains City, the people he saw were different from any other city in the Great Song Dynasty.
In addition to not having the usual dishes of this era, people's faces are filled with heartfelt smiles.
In such a remote place, the cleanliness of its streets, houses, and roads is actually a little better than that of Meizhou City, which amazed him.
And outside the gray plain city, the workshop area planned and built in a unified manner made Zhao Zheng even more amazed, from the mouths of the people, he knew that everything here was established by Zhao Yuan with one hand and one foot.
And what worries him even more is that Zhao Yuan is the one who talks about and praises the most.
If Zhao Yuan has any objections, I am afraid that Meizhou, which is constantly increasing its potential, will become a problem for the henchmen of the Great Song Dynasty.
The more he knew everything about Meizhou, the deeper the worry in Zhao Zheng's heart became.
"Meizhou Daily, in this, plays a very important role."
"The people from all over Meizhou know more about Zhao Yuan than they know about the Song Dynasty."
"Meizhou's armament is definitely far beyond people's perception of her."
"Meizhou's financial resources are definitely far above the current Great Song Dynasty."
"The cohesion of the people under Meizhou's rule, I am afraid that as long as Zhao Yuan gives an order, the people will inevitably obey."
"Such Meizhou, Zhao Yuan, the assassin in such a situation, is he really convinced to obey the imperial court?"
……
"No, I still have to meet Zhao Yuan, except for his current status being a little lower, in other aspects, his strength may far surpass that of his brother."
The more Zhao Zheng walked around Meizhou, the greater the worry in his heart, and he was upset, and when he returned to Meizhou City, there was a scene that happened in Jihelou above.
……
"I advise my brother to have that time to renew and be bored, it is better to read more books that can really benefit the people of Limin, as long as you know in your heart that we are readers, why you are reading, you will not have the confusion and boredom you are now."
"Zhao Yuan's book?"
"How can you call Lord Thorn Shi by name, so disrespectful, but if you are a foreigner, I won't bother with you, and Lord Thorn Shi has a broad mind, and I won't care about these things with you. You don't know, after the Meizhou public examination, the Zhao Printing Workshop in the city, in addition to printing the daily Meizhou newspaper, began to print a large number of books of Lord Shi, from these books, you can learn from Zhao Xue. ”
"Zhao Xue?"
"That's right, Zhao Xue, Lord Thorn Shi has the talent to go through heaven and earth, Gray Plain, Danling, Meizhou, and other places, this kind of rapid change has occurred, and it is all Zhao Xue's role in it."
"Zhao Xue, is this going to start a sect?"
"Brother Tai's words are bad, Lord Thorn Shi's knowledge is inclusive, where do you care about the difference between sects, but there are many sour and rotten people, who criticize Lord Thorn Shi like unreasonable, but they are often studied by students of Zhao Xue, and they are speechless, and they can only shout insults."
"This is interesting, I have to buy a set of books to see what this Zhao Xue is talking about, maybe it can relieve the boredom in my heart."
"Let's go, it must be useful, Zhao's Bookstore is not far from Jihe Building, do you see, it's over there?"
"The wine money has been paid, and my brother can drink as much as he pleases again, I'll go."
"Brother Tai pays attention to people, goodbye."
Zhao Zheng took a deep look at the middle-aged scribe, got up and left Jihe Building, and went to Zhao's Library.
"Did he find out?" Seeing Zhao Zheng leaving in a hurry with his entourage, the middle-aged scribe put down his wine glass and said softly.
