Chapter 225: The First Meeting with Zhang Juzheng (Second Update, Asking for Recommendation, Asking for Collection)
Again, when Shi Yiwen's name reached Zhang Juzheng's ears, he was silent.
Even that night, after Qi Jiguang left, Zhang Juzheng's words would still appear in his mind, and of course, Ma Ziqiang's appreciation for Shi Yiwen when he returned from Zunhua.
Did you really misunderstand him?
Again, Zhang Juzheng muttered to himself.
From the first time he knew Shi Yiwen and knew his identity as a tribute envoy, Zhang Juzheng didn't have a very good impression of him, after all, the lessons of "Fire Yasan" were there.
Why did Emperor Wuzong favor the "Fire Man Yasan" back then, wasn't it because Yasan could always tell him some anecdotes? can always please Emperor Wuzong. This is also the fundamental reason why Zhang Juzheng is reluctant to let the emperor come into contact with Shi Yiwen - the emperor is young, and God knows if he will be attracted by Shi Yiwen's overseas anecdotes, and then attract him as a confidant.
"After all, you can't let him go to see the emperor, after all, the emperor's heart is not a teenager's heart, and it is inevitable that he will always be confused by new things."
Zhang Juzheng shook his head again in his self-talk, the rewards and punishments were unfair, and they were also not in line with his character.
After all, Shi Yiwen has made great contributions to the imperial court.
Edman Sthe...... With this name on his lips, in the end, Zhang Juzheng still laughed at himself.
"Actually bothered about such a trivial matter, you should really be more and more careful, isn't it just a tribute envoy, call him over to meet him, chat, you can always understand some of your heart."
When the time comes, just weigh it again, and make up his mind, Zhang Juzheng gave an order to his relatives, asking him to send someone to Shitaizhuang to invite Shi Yiwen, of course, even if he wants to invite, it will be tomorrow.
Shi Yiwen didn't feel the slightest strangeness about Shoufu's summoning, but felt that he was a little late in summoning him, but despite this, since he wanted to see Shoufu, he always had to be prepared.
What should I prepare?
When you go to see Shousuke, of course, you can't go empty-handed, and this gift can neither be too light nor too heavy.
Come to think of it, there really is nothing to take.
Come on, it's still fruit!
So, Shi Yiwen once again sacrificed the fruit basket, he was even a little lucky, modern people like to eat fruits, not only there are all kinds of fruits in the supermarket, there is even a fruit store nearby, and there is even a cold storage in the fruit store, anyway, it is enough to give a few gifts.
The seven-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, go to meet the prime minister, if the porter is there to prepare silver?
The answer is obviously no, and even Shi Yiwen just snapped the door knocker, and the concierge over there immediately said politely after opening the door.
"It's Shi Tongzhi, the master is waiting for you in the study."
The porter looked very polite, and then led him to the study, and when he went to the study, Shi Yiwen's heart was tumbling with countless thoughts.
Soon I will meet Zhang Juzheng, who is known in history as the Ming Dynasty's life for decades, what kind of person is he?
Is it a solitary phase? Or is it a minister? Or a loyal servant?
While thoughts like these were rolling, Shi Yiwen suddenly shook his head and chuckled again.
You're thinking a little too much, what's the big deal...... No matter who he is, what does it have to do with you, and what can you control?
Don't say it's yours, I'm afraid even the emperor has something to do now.
After thinking about this, naturally people will no longer suffer from gains and losses as before, and people will be much calmer.
When he finally stepped into the study, Shi Yiwen heard a hearty laugh.
"Shi Zhiyuan, I've been famous to you for a long time! I'm finally able to see you in person today! ”
Looking along the laughter, Shi Yiwen finally saw the Shoufu described in the history of the Ming Dynasty who was "a man with a beautiful face, a beard to the belly, brave and brave, and a heroic self-promise", although he was old, he was indeed dignified, handsome, and his long hair stroked slightly with his words.
"The first assistant that the lower officials have seen."
Shi Yiwen hurriedly bowed his hand, although he felt a little emotional in his heart, he seemed very calm.
"Shi Yiwen, Shi Zhiyuan."
Zhang Juzheng was also looking at him, but it was the first time they met, and he finally knew why Ma Ziqiang, Qi Jiguang and others were constantly appreciating him, not only because of what he made, but also because of the handsome appearance of the young man, it was also easy to arouse the favor of others.
"These days, the old man has been famous for you for a long time."
After asking Shi Yiwen to sit down, Zhang Juzheng sighed,
"You are last year's Mid-Autumn Festival into Beijing, this into Beijing less than a year, you have done a lot of things, last winter sold cabbage is you, drive the public carriage is also you, and then open the iron factory not only to produce a thunderbolt gun like a magic weapon, but also to produce a machine top thousands of workers of the yarn machine, now on both sides of the Lugou River, large and small cloth factories more than a dozen, all with the use of Dasheng yarn, in the past the capital sold the south cloth, and now only see the north cloth, the north cloth is cheap and high-quality, the people enjoy its benefits, not waiting for me to be surprised, You have built a pressurized water well that can benefit the world's cangsheng, and now the old man is curious, if you give you a few more years, I don't know what kind of surprise you can bring to the old man, what blessings can you bring to the world! ”
When mentioning the things that Shi Yiwen did, Zhang Juzheng even used the word "Fuze", such praise is indeed extremely rare, and in the face of such praise, Shi Yiwen hesitated for a moment, and then said.
"Shousuke is missing one thing."
Taking out a book, Shi Yiwen said.
"Xia Guan also opened a bookstore."
As he spoke, Shi Yiwen presented the book in his hand to Zhang Juzheng and said.
"This is the "Pressurized Water Well Law" printed by Xia Guan after returning to Beijing, and now 10,000 copies have been printed, which can be presented to the imperial court at any time, and then distributed by the imperial court to various places."
Looking at Shi Yiwen's "Pressurized Water Well Method", listening to his words, Zhang Juzheng looked at the young man in front of him seriously, and couldn't help but feel a little touched in his heart, he has been in contact with too many people over the years, but it is the first time he has seen a person like Shi Yiwen.
"This "Pressurized Well Law" can benefit the people of the world, and there will be no worries about hunger and drought from now on, just by virtue of your contribution to making wells, the old man should write to the emperor, reward you, and tell me what kind of reward you want?"
Zhang Juzheng's question made Shi Yiwen's heart slightly stunned.
What kind of reward do you want?
Is this something I need to think about?
After pondering for a moment, Shi Yiwen said directly.
"The lower officials don't want any reward!"
"Don't want a reward? Is that true? ”
Looking up to meet Zhang Juzheng's gaze, Shi Yiwen said calmly.
"In the original well, it is used to solve the drought of the people in the world, since it is effective, there is only one idea in the next is to push this well to all parts of the country as soon as possible, so that the people are no longer trapped by the red land for thousands of miles, and there is no longer the worry of drought and hunger, so that they will be satisfied in the next!"
