In the fiery eyes of envy, jealousy and hatred, Zhang Yang was taken to the backyard by the old servant, the backyard in this era is very private, and bringing Zhang Yang to the backyard also means to express affection.

In the pavilion in the courtyard, there was an old man dressed in regular clothes, and Zhang Yang recognized this old man as Zhang Shuye, the lord of Zhizhou at the banquet.

"Master, the people have already brought."

"Well, let's go rest."

Zhang Yang hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "The student has seen Lord Zhizhou. ”

"Well, sit down."

Uncle Zhang's face was kind, like an old man who was giving guidance to his juniors, and his tone was gentle and approachable.

"Lord Xie Zhizhou."

"The old man has carefully read your article and listened to your point of view. Although I agree with your idea, I have to give you a reminder. Hearing this, Zhang Yang probably knew the reason why this upright Lord Zhizhou was looking for him! Immediately got up and said humbly:

"Please advise."

Uncle Zhang smiled lovingly and said: "The sentence that the world rises and falls, and the husband is responsible, is deafening!" It's just that the princes in the court today may not be able to listen to such a voice, if you have been holding such a point of view to participate in the big competition, I am afraid the result will not be too good! ”

Speaking of this, a trace of hatred flashed in Uncle Zhang's eyes! He hates that the court is full of flattering traitors, people are floating and muddy, they don't want to make progress and are greedy for pleasure, and they only know that internal friction is in vain!

Zhang Yang was a little moved in his heart, he knew that Zhang Shuye was an upright person, and his words almost clearly told him not to be stubborn, even if he was to make compromises to cater to his wishes, he had to get the name of Jinshi first.

"The students thank the adults for their care, but the students are stubborn, even if they know that there are tigers in the mountains, they prefer to go to the tiger mountains! If it stands in my way, I will skin it and eat its flesh." ”

Uncle Zhang paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Interesting! The old man has never seen a scholar like you, where did that look like a man just now, it was clearly a hill! ”

Zhang Yang didn't think it was wrong, and continued: "It's because there are too many gentlemen in my Great Song Dynasty that those barbarians will have nothing to fear!" ”

At this point, both of them fell silent.

The atmosphere was a little solemn, Uncle Zhang let out a long sigh and said, "The old man doesn't know, it's just that he is a villain and a gentleman who is far away, and he renews pleasure and forgets about the community." This year, he concluded a 'maritime alliance' with the Jin State but did not think about arming the war, when will he be able to recover the land of Yanyun! ”

Zhang Yang was a little speechless, Uncle Zhang Ye This is a very typical ancient literati thinking, full of hope that a 'Holy Son of Heaven' will come to the court, and then the pro-gentleman and the villain will be able to make the country rich and the people strong!

How can it be!

How can there be so many saints of heaven! As far as the feeling of flamboyance is concerned, the vast majority of emperors in ancient times were mortals, very ordinary mortals, and there are very few like Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang! Such an idea is absurd in itself.

What's more, the emperors behind the Great Song Dynasty are more fucked up than the other...

"My lord, 10,000 years is too long, let's seize the day! To put it mildly, with what we are doing today, do we still have hope? Instead of expecting the officials to wake up, it is better to be ourselves, so that we can stand up when the country is in crisis! That's what the sages intended. ”

Zhang Yang directly built a crooked building, but it is very much in line with the hearts of readers in this era. Self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world are the ultimate pursuits of countless literati in the Great Song Dynasty!

Zhang Yang's words smashed into Zhang Shuye's heart like a hammer, and he even forgot to care about Zhang Yang's disrespectful words! I was stunned, and it took a long time to come to my senses.

Uncle Zhang's eyes were like lightning, and he glared at Zhang Yang viciously. Fortunately, Zhang Yang is not a person of this era, otherwise he would definitely not be able to say such things.

"Good boy! The old man underestimated you, listening to your remarks, the old man was like an enlightenment, and suddenly enlightened! Then the conversation changed, and he said: "But your kid is not small, and you dare to arrange it in front of the old man!" Are you afraid that the old man will not dare to punish you? ”

Zhang Yang could hear that Uncle Zhang was not angry, otherwise he would not have called himself an old man but an official.

"The boss is gracious, and the students know their mistakes!"

"Hmph, it's good to know your mistakes, today's words come out of your mouth and into my ears, and don't talk nonsense outside in the future."

"Students remember, Master Xie for your guidance."

"Well, go ahead."

"The student quits."

Zhang Yang was led out of the house by the old servant, and a group of people hulala came forward to ask for warmth, but between the words, they always asked what Zhang Yang and Uncle Zhang talked about...

Zhang Yang is not a novice, how could he be coaxed to pour beans into a bamboo tube in two sentences, and fooled him with a sloppy eye.

In addition to supervising the construction of the iron factory, the biggest thing is to let Zhang Long go to Xuzhou to find out the whereabouts of Song Jiang! To his relief, Song Jiang's itinerary did not deviate much because of his arrival, and Song Jiang had already begun to attack Yizhou at this time.

At the same time, in Shuyang County, rumors began to appear about Zhang Yang being super rich! Like something, someone saw him spending a lot of money in Yihong Courtyard just to comb the cage for the popular young officials! What else can I see him make a fortune when he makes a business in a restaurant! Some people also saw that the granary built by his family stored enough grain for the whole county to eat for a year!

Such rumors have become the talk of the people inside and outside the county after tea and dinner for a while, and the name of the public has been in the limelight for a while.

Shopkeeper Li was shocked when he first heard these rumors, as the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong. People in these years pay attention to wealth and do not show it! Because the rule of law is not perfect, it is easier to make a big move.

If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves!

Therefore, Shopkeeper Li found Zhang Yang as soon as possible, hoping that he would go to Haizhou to avoid the limelight. Zhang Yang laughed at this, these rumors were originally released by himself to find someone, wouldn't it be a failure if he went to Haizhou to avoid the limelight?

However, the kindness of the shopkeeper Li could not be ignored, and he said that he would pay attention to the security work.

In the face of Zhang Yang's insistence, Shopkeeper Li could only reluctantly accept it, and pulled Ma Hanqian to tell him to follow inseparably to ensure his safety.

After the shopkeeper Li returned to Haizhou to supervise the construction of the port, Zhang Yang intensified his efforts and once again spent a lot of money, this time he asked someone to repair the bridge and repair the road, and took advantage of the winter leisure to repair the water conservancy, and successfully won the reputation of "great benevolent man" for himself.

Time slowly entered the end of the second year of Xuanhe, and the steel plant that Zhang Yang was looking forward to was finally built! In the admiring eyes of a group of workers, Zhang Yang attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony in a high-profile manner, and announced: If it can be put into operation before the year, all employees of the iron plant will pay the same amount of money for the New Year!

In the excited applause of the workers, the atmosphere of the scene reached its peak! The age of steel he was looking forward to is finally coming!
