Chapter 90: The Talent Submerged in History

"Stop, if you have something to say, if you have something, let it go. Not to mention that we are leaving, who will remain in your place, to see what Oiran. Chunyu strode forward and stretched out his hand to stop Du Yunlong, crossed his waist, and said horizontally and vertically. Cai Cong was stunned, he didn't expect such a docile girl to have such a pungent side.

"This, this, I'm really ashamed to say it, ashamed of me!" Du Yunlong covered his face with his sleeves, and his voice was as small as a mosquito.

"Manly man, can't you speak generously? Since you are ashamed to ask for someone, you always have to say, you look like this, but you have fallen behind, and you have lost your own face in vain. ”

Du Yunlong was in awe, tidied up his clothes and respectfully bowed to Chunyu and said: "Du Zhengxing bows to Miss Chunyu, the girl's words make Zhengxing suddenly brighten, although he is embarrassed, he can have a clear conscience." ”

After that, he turned to Cai Cong and asked: "I heard that the uncle's clan relatives have Mr. Cai Gang and Fan Li's talent, and his business is all over the Tang Dynasty, even the Western Regions, Turks and other places have his business, I don't know if it's true?" ”

"Is there anything wrong with that?" Cai Cong said casually, neither he nor the eldest grandson could come forward directly, and it was natural to find someone to act as an agent for business. Cai Gang is a good candidate.

"How dare you, how dare you. Mr. Cai Gang has the talent of Fan Li, unlike ordinary businessmen, who dares to look down on him? Du Yunlong hurriedly waved his hand and said, and then said embarrassedly: "Actually, I want to ask my uncle to introduce me, and I want to talk about business with Mr. Cai Gang." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, his head was almost hidden in his crotch. Cai Cong's eyes glared at the boss, thinking that he had misheard. Don't think it's a shame! Shinong industry and commerce, scholars are at the forefront, naturally have his pride, businessmen value profit over righteousness, and are most spurned.

In later generations, the prime minister can still talk about business, but in this era, when a scholar goes to be a businessman, he is afraid that the coffin board of his ancestors will not be able to hold it down, and he will climb out and strangle this scum who corrupts the door.

"Du County makes you too fat, right? Your Majesty has explicitly forbidden officials to do business, how dare you? Cai Cong's big thumb was raised towards Du Yunlong, although everyone didn't take this order seriously, but that official dared to say loudly that I want to do business?

"Uncle, don't get me wrong! This is not a subordinate official who wants to do business! Du Yunlong immediately became anxious, this word can't be spread randomly, if it gets out, he may not even be able to enter his home when he resigns and returns to his hometown in the future.

"Not you? Could it be that Your Excellency still wants to help people match? Cai Cong immediately thought of Zhang Liang's family, picked up the teacup and asked quietly.

"Alas, it is also incompetent, although Gongyi is very rich, but the people in some places are still very poor. It's like a few villages twenty miles north of the city, where the mountains are rugged and the roads are uneven, and the people have no land to plant.

On weekdays, they can only rely on hunting and collecting medicine for a living, and when they catch the market, they exchange medicinal herbs and prey for food, but in such a large county, how can those prey and medicinal herbs be wanted all the time?

Xia Guan has been to see it in person! There was not a single grain of surplus food at home in those days, and the two of them changed their clothes, and the baby didn't even have clothes, so he took the open cloth to cover his shame, which was really miserable. ”

"How can this be, since you are so scared, why don't you move away?" Du Yunlong's words were extremely touching, and Xia Yun wiped his tears and asked incomprehensibly.

"How to move? Where have the ancestors been for generations, this has moved away, do you want the ancestors anymore? Du Yunlong's eyes are also red, but there is no way, except that he can't live anymore, who will move away from the ancestral land?

"Then how do you want this official to help you? You can't ask my Uncle Gang to do a loss-making business, right? Cai Cong took a sip of tea and said casually, he probably thought of what Du Yunlong wanted to do, but this Du Yunlong's idea was too advanced, could it be that he also crossed over?

"Lang Jun, why are you like this? The family is so rich, if you lose your capital, you will lose your capital, and you can't afford to pay it, and your wife will agree if she knows about it. Xia Yun pouted from behind, and Chunyu hurriedly pulled her sleeve.

Cai Cong's face immediately darkened, this is definitely bad for Sister Cai, the good heart is too much, the family's money is blown by the wind?

"Adults talk, children don't interject." Cai Cong said angrily, everyone almost didn't laugh, they all held back quite hard, it seems that you are a child, right?

"Ahem, how dare you ask your uncle to do a loss-making business, this mountain people are guarding Baoshan and don't know. The lower officials have checked the county records, and those mountains are rich in products, whether it is birds and animals or rare medicinal materials, there are a lot.

But the mountain people don't understand! In the past, there were some merchants who came to buy it, but in the first year of Wude, there was an epidemic, and many people died, and many merchants also died.

Xia Guan was wondering if our local government could let the mountain people collect the goods, and then the Cai family caravan sent people to buy them, and the government would send the money to the mountain people. ”

As soon as Du Yunlong finished speaking, Cai Cong gasped and subconsciously asked, "Which China Merchants are you?" ”

"What?" Du Yunlong couldn't react, and even spoke the dialect in Guanzhong.

"Nothing, nothing. Du County's idea is very bold! Cai Cong smiled and said playfully.

"The lower officials also know that this is insulting and detrimental to the majesty of the government, but seeing those people who have no food and clothing, this distressing and uncomfortable! It's really, really ...... That's it, just go back and write a resignation, and there is no need to wait for the officials to come. ”

Du Yunlong was disheartened, and instantly looked like an old ten-year-old. Originally, he didn't have much hope, he just fought for fame in exchange for a glimmer of possibility, but now seeing Cai Cong's sneer, how can he not despair?

"Why did Du County Order resign? The official didn't say that your idea was bad, on the contrary, your idea was very good, and people can't! This official admires. Cai Cong said solemnly. Du Yunlong did not leave a name in the history books in later generations, eighty percent because he put this idea into practice himself.

There are no strong measures, and if you do things ahead, the end will be very miserable, such as someone being nailed to a pillar and burned to death, someone going crazy, and someone being beaten to death as a ghost possession.

If Cai Cong hadn't appeared, Du Yunlong's fate would also have been a tragedy, a crime of contempt for the majesty of the imperial court and imprisonment, and then in the concept of insulting Sven, he ended his life with his belt.

"Uncle, don't laugh at the officials, such a deviant idea, who will accept it?" Du Yunlong laughed miserably, in his opinion, Cai Cong was nakedly sarcastic about him.

"Don't think like that. The official asks you, what is the purpose of reading the books of the sages and the cold window? Cai Cong asked loudly.

"When Xiaguan was a scholar, the former Sui people were not happy, and at that time, Xiaguan vowed to live for a certain food and clothing for the people." Du Yunlong said loudly, he is nearly forty years old, but the dream of that year is still in the mirror to this day, and it cannot be touched.

That's right, scholars should continue to learn for the sake of the saints, open peace for all generations, and establish lives for all people. Your talent is insufficient, and I am afraid that it will not work to continue to learn, but for the people to seek a peaceful life, your idea is very good. ”

Cai Cong said as a matter of course, Du Yunlong trembled with excitement, leaned over and said respectfully: "Zhengxing went to school at the age of five, and it has been thirty-seven years now. Today, when I heard your words, I was like an empowerment, and my uncle asked me to accept a proper salute. ”
