Chapter 120: Training
Cai Lun, whose name is Jingzhong, is a native of Guiyang County in the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the south, it is still mostly a primeval jungle, and the area between the Yellow River and the Yangtze River represents the essence of the entire Chinese civilization.
Cai Lun may have been the first person in South China and even Jiangnan to enter the imperial court and enter the imperial palace as an official.
He is not only an inventor, but also a powerful eunuch. Named the Marquis of Longting, the servant of Changle. After Cai Lun experienced four emperors and two emperors in his life, he was able to profit from the many changes in the court, ranked Jiuqing, and was awarded the title of marquis.
Later generations of people remember the invention of Cai's papermaking technology, and the word "Cai Lun" is almost a household name in China, even abroad. In the 1978 publication of Mike Hart's book "List of 100 Celebrities Who Influenced the Course of Human History", Cai Lun ranked sixth (later changed to seventh), which shows how well Cai Lun is recognized by the world.
And Bi Landuo remembers Cai Lun's glorious history as a generation of powerful eunuchs, but the final outcome was that he was humiliated and committed suicide by taking poison directly.
Liu Wei may not know it, but Cai Lun's metaphor for eunuchs is not very comfortable.
But Bi Lan actually didn't take it to heart, Cai Lun's tragedy was that when Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty, the harem queen Dou competed with the Song nobles for favor, and framed the Song nobles on the grounds of "disgusted with the art of winning", and sentenced them to prison. In the whole incident, the person who acted as a dog's leg for Queen Dou was Cai Lun.
No one thought of it. A few years later, Liu Hu, the grandson of the Song nobles, was able to turn around and personally take charge of power, and the Eastern and Western Han Dynasty were also such coincidences, one had Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Ai, and the other had Emperor Liu Hu of the Han Dynasty. Cai Lun's good days have come to an end. Cai Lun knew that he was finished after Emperor An of Han was in power, and when he ordered Cai Lun to go to Tingwei to confess his guilt, he committed suicide by taking poison in the same year.
Bi Lan's allies are not the next generation of heirs to the empire. After Liu Wei and Bi Lan negotiated the details, Shi Shiran left.
"Your Highness, where are we going now?" The little mosquito asked outside the car.
"Mengjin County Ya. I want to ...... Mr. Mototsune is ready. ”
"No, go to Mengjin!" Huang Zhong and Gao Shun led a team of guards to open the way in front of him, and Rao Wen greeted the horseman, brandished the whip and drove the two horses galloping on the way to Mengjin.
Wei Jiao walked out of the Wei Mansion in despair, and he failed in the family's competition. When the news of flour is the news of wheat mill spread all over the world, the price of wheat in the entire Guanzhong area ushered in a sharp rise, and the price increased several times in an instant.
The other major families regretted and were angry, their own families had good wheat, and they just ushered in the increase, but they were all bought by Wei Jiao, and they were all sold at a price higher than a little bit higher!
And now I need flour, so I have to hold back the bitterness and take it back at several times the price, back and forth, and I will vomit blood from those big families!
Therefore, while admiring the business methods of His Royal Highness the prince, people can't help but suspect that the Wei family, which was the first to get the news and vigorously buy wheat and resell it to Liu Wei, is actually the prince's "grain trust"!
Otherwise, where did the Wei family get the news? Why did the Wei family suddenly know that the wheat was going to rise and start reselling?
Even if someone asked Xie Xing, who purchased the grain, he only got a mysterious smile, not clear, not denial, not knowing, the fatal triple made the only Wei family who stopped losses and profits in this turmoil was isolated in an instant.
Take first and give first, Hedong Wei family, the ancestral Wei Huo military merit aristocratic group once held the military and political power during the period of Emperor Wu, and as a power group, the world will shake when they stomp their feet.
Liu Wei does not want to fall into the quagmire of war, secretly move the stones on the road, pick up the important parts that his family needs, and so on to convert his 82-year-old bicycle into a Transformers, at that time, God will block and kill God, and Buddha will kill Buddha.
Isolation, unite most of the people, deal with the remaining handful, don't be a big fat man and stand in front of me as an MT if you don't have that physique, lewd development, don't wave.
Xie Xing later re-recruited the common people, let them take the harvested wheat and process it into flour, and then gave a certain percentage of the flour as a processing fee, so that the common people did not cause much loss in this fluctuation.
This made the damaged family even more believe that the Wei family and Liu Wei were together to cheat their money, Liu Wei was the one who was willing to take the bait, and the Wei family, as the executor and the buyer of wheat from them, became their main enemies.
Although Wei Jiao won benefits for the Wei family from the stop loss of other families, when it came to their class, the relationship with other families became something more important than money.
He didn't know that Wei Kai, the eldest brother who he thought was pedantic and unwise, actually quietly united with the elders of the family, and directly from this matter, he rose and descended secretly, rewarded him with two silk shops, and put him out of the ranks of heirs.
He was annoyed, he was frustrated, he was unwilling, but in order to give an explanation to other families, as a pawn who crossed the river, fate was always only in the hands of the chess player, not in his own hands.
Luoyang was a sleepy city in the middle of the night, and in the history before the Song Dynasty, almost all cities had curfews, in order to maintain their authoritarian rule, in order to achieve complete control over the whole society. At night, it is often a time of high incidence of criminal activity. It was also the period when rulers were most worried.
But often it's just that I'm afraid of what's coming, and I like to do things under the cover of the night.
The side palace door in Luoyang opened quietly late at night, a carriage drove out slowly, and the passing sergeants stepped forward to check, and the carriage handed out a token that made them kneel down and dare not make a time, under the light of the torch, the hand that stretched out the curtain was thin and slender, and the token in the hand was the order held by the unique East Palace!
The carriage gradually came to the edge of Luoshui, a canopy boat stopped on the shore, and a man with a white face and no need to dress as a scholar saluted the man in the carriage and welcomed him onto the awning boat.
The owner of the carriage looked disgusted when he saw that the canopy boat was broken and dirty, but when he thought of the purpose of coming, he gritted his teeth and stepped onto the boat. The little eunuch who was waiting on the side also followed, but was stopped by the gentleman.
"There will only be one master of my family, and the law does not wear outer ears, so wait here with me!"
"You!" The little eunuch was shocked and angry, with his status, few people in the palace dared to talk to him like this, and how dare these dirty and rotten pariahs!
The scholar smiled slightly, but the smile on the corner of his mouth looked so bloodthirsty, his teeth looked calm at night, and a few guards next to him leaned over with something in his pocket with ill intentions.
The little eunuch suddenly woke up, and his body trembled a little.
"You'd better listen to me, or I don't know what's going to happen......"
They're all outlaws! If you have a bad life, you may do something, and the hero will not suffer the loss in front of him. The little eunuch nodded hurriedly, showing a smile that was more ugly than crying and echoed.
Shizi laughed, patted the little eunuch who was bending down more and more: "Take it down......"
"No!"
The owner of the carriage covered his mouth and nose and got on the boat, and heard a sharp duck throat: "The master of the Taiping Taoist Sect is a famous man in the world, and the world admires him, why is he like a small person in such a shabby place in the middle of the night to find our house!" ”
The middle-aged man who picked up the green veil covering the window waved his hand, turned around and smiled: "Lord Taifu, I have heard the name for a long time and was able to meet today, and Zhang never thought that he would meet his father-in-law with this scene here and now, please!" ”
This person is the leader of the Taiping Dao, Zhang Jiao! The one who came is the current ten permanent servants, the servants of Yongle, the great eunuchs of the Empress Dowager Dong's cronies, and the title of the emperor!
