Chapter 191: Zhang Ji's letter
The reason why I suspect that it is related to the Ying Feng Bureau is because Zhang Shuye, the head of the household department, is very sure that the extra part is official silver, and it is quite easy to distinguish the color. But the silver-smelting technology of this year is in the hands of the government, which is called soot-blowing alchemy.
Just like a good bow and a divine arm crossbow cannot be easily made by the people, such a large-scale, compared to the cutting-edge craftsmanship of this era, it is basically impossible for Manichaeism to break through and master it. As a matter of fact, if they had such skills and ability and executive ability, they would have been cultists a long time ago, and they would have been able to enter Beijing and become senior technical officials in the Ministry of Industry or in the Ministry of Craftsmen and Craftsmen.
So although there is no evidence, Zhang Shuye's private conclusion is that there is a very strong and heavenly government organization, and the silver and copper black curtain in the southeast is involved.
In addition to Zhang Shuye's speculation about this matter, there is also a surprising magistrate in Longyou County who secretly wrote to the household department, and also stated the very unusual religious activities of Manichaeism.
This person's name is Zong Ze, and the reason why he is counted as a bone Qingqi is because most people in the south are blind, and he is the only one who mentions these in a county.
As we all know, it was very difficult for a weak scholar with no foundation in this period to become an official in the southeast. It's a pity that this Zong Ze is a bit like Zhao Cheng, the accumulation of literature can only be regarded as okay, but he has a gun thinking, so this scholar has raised his own team in Longyou County over the years, erected his own reputation, and officially suppressed the magistrates such as the county magistrate and the county lieutenant.
So Zong Ze can say whatever he wants, and he can manage whatever he wants.
In fact, if he can't get used to it, he will directly scold. At that time, he was named after scolding the emperor and the prime minister, not only did he not plant it, but on the contrary, he became famous, and he was still born in the same Jinshi under the condition of average literary level. This is also a great wonder of the Song Dynasty, basically there is everything if you have fame.
Of course, since Zong Ze is **** talking nonsense, don't expect to be promoted, Zong Ze is trapped in the local area to be a county magistrate.
And because of this, Zong Ze didn't have any hope of promotion, anyway, the emperor and prime minister were also scolded back then, and he has borne his reputation and price until now, so he is more afraid of standing in the water and not afraid of rain, and he dares to say anything and dare to stab him. So he poked the Manichaean problem up.
stabbed everywhere, no one has been birding him, without exception is a palindrome reprimand: nonsense, chasing after the wind.
In the end, hey, Uncle Zhang, who is also a cool official, received Zong Ze's paperwork, and everything coincided.
To put it bluntly, this is the reason why Zhang Shuye and Zhang Kegong spared no effort to promote the Wuwei Army to enter Chizhou. The distance is very close, if the Chizhou problem can be solved, not only can greatly alleviate the lack of copper in the household, but also can sit in the entire southeast, and then pass through the plan of Muzhou, Hangzhou and Yuezhou.
Now it looks like the Wuwei Army is also a mallet, but it is very helpless that they can barely use it, and now that the powerful institutions of the southeast government and the cultists and bandits are involved, Zhang Shuye can't accept the Jiangdong Army or the Liangzhejiang Army into Chizhou.
About these, is Zhang Ji? All the plans and blueprints of his father Zhang Shuye that he learned about are in the top secret stage for the time being.
In fact, heroes emerge in troubled times, and it is obvious that Huang Wenbingzhi is talented and unbearable, and now Zhang Ji? After the field investigation, I felt that Zhao Cheng was actually a more suitable person than Zong Ze, and he was the mainstay who could really help his father deal with the financial chaos in the south, the only trouble was that the entanglement between the strange scholar and the Cai family was more complicated.
How to balance it well, how to make Zhang Shuye, especially Zhang Kegong, trust this person from the Cai family, who is like a deer and a horse, is a difficult technical job.
In addition, in view of the complexity of the situation, Zhao Cheng has concluded on various occasions that Manichaeism is a cult. Assuming that Manichaeism really has something to do with the "powerful government institutions", and Zhao Cheng is actually equivalent to slapping the Muzhou Mansion and the Liangzhejiang Road Shuai Si in the face, then his political troubles will soon come.
Based on this cognition, Zhang Ji? disliked Li Jian's flirting and scolding to delay time, so he drove away. Now I am writing an urgent book, stating some things to my father Zhang Shuye, and by the way, I recommend it. The last is: please ask your father to help Zhao Cheng withstand the next political troubles no matter what.
"Is he Ji? I have ever seen the most handsome temperament and the most executive person. If there is anyone who can solve the current crisis in the southeast, he is the most likely, and I hope my father will remember this. Don't get too entangled in the matter of his approach to the Cai family. The key is that the people who are with the Cai family, he is not equal to the quality of the Cai family, and objectivity and understanding must be given on this point. In addition, it is necessary to bet a little bit of luck, just as the emperor whether he is shrewd or not, he also needs some luck and the old man to bet on the 'coming year' as simple. ”
This is Zhang Ji? The concluding words of the letter to Zhang Shuye, and then sent the retainers' henchmen to Beijing for 800 miles......
Zhao Cheng left after the debriefing, but went home and returned to Cai's mansion.
This is because it was empty after returning home, Chen Meiniang was not there, and Chen Abao's little girl was not there.
Only then did I remember that at that time, for the sake of safety, they were entrusted to the care of Cai Mansion, so naturally, they also theoretically became "hostages" during the special period.
When I went to the backyard, I met Cai Wenji's sister-like maid Shuang'er, and grabbed her: "My Chen Mei Niang?" ”
"My lord, Shuang'er still has something to do, I ordered a can of soy sauce to get the goods."
Shuang'er looked panicked and turned around and ran.
"What to run!"
Zhao Cheng was quick and caught her back.
This girl is self-inflicted, but now Zhao Cheng is not Wuxia Ameng is an adult, so Shuang'er didn't dare to make a mistake, and said with tears in her eyes, "I don't know anything, my lord, don't embarrass me." ”
Zhao Cheng was so frightened by her attitude that he jumped up, and exclaimed: "What's wrong with you, you won't be imprisoned as a hostage or even suspect me of treachery, right?" ”
"Ahh How could there be such a thing. ”
Shuang'er hurriedly shook her hand again, "Don't get me wrong, it's hard to deny your loyalty, and no one will do that." It's just that Miss told them not to let them leave, she wants to find out what relationship Chen Meiniang has with you, she went to Guichi County to check the relationship between you and Chen Meiniang......"
Hey, it feels like I'm talking straight and leaking, and Shuang'er raised his hand to cover his mouth, looking like I didn't know anything and didn't say anything.
Khan, so it was.
Since this is not a big deal, Zhao Cheng said generously, "Shuang'er, the official was surprised to see your bones, and specially rewarded this thing, and didn't tell your family Miss Cai that you leaked, you have to be clever in the future and tell me about her." ”
"I'm going to be hung up and beaten to death by her!"
Shuang'er looked speechless, but after taking the chocolate and putting it in her mouth curiously, she was stunned, she really couldn't imagine that there was such a delicious thing in the world.
"If you give another one, Shuang'er will tell you something about Miss."
Shuang'er immediately changed her tune.
I bought another one, it's cheap anyway, it's classified as a daily class in the system, 10 points a box, and there are 6 in a box.
Shuang'er's mouth smiled crookedly after receiving the bribe, and said mysteriously: "My young lady has a knife mouth and a tofu heart, in fact, she cares a lot about adults." By the way, in fact, she went to Guichi County to inquire, but she didn't find it, and she was driven away by Master Pei, and she was depressed. By the way, my lord, don't say that Shuang'er told you. ”
The words flashed and disappeared.
"Hey, where is my Chen Meiniang?"
But she couldn't hear it, and she couldn't shout it back.
