Chapter 448: Craftsman (1)
"Taishi, I came here in person today, I don't know what to order?" Chai Erniang asked with a smile. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info can let Cai Jing come to the door in person, but it is not a simple matter, if there is no big event, Cai Jing will not be like this.
"General Zhengbei has written to the Son of Heaven to ask the Son of Heaven to send civil officials to govern Hedong Road, I don't know if Mrs. knows?" Cai Jing lowered his head and said tremblingly, this sentence is really not nutritious, he believes that when Li Jing was the Son of Heaven, he must have sent a piece of paper to the General Mansion of Zhengbei.
"I have heard a little about this matter, my grandson is just a military general, he only knows how to march and fight, where do I know how to govern the place, this world is still the world of civil officials, and the governance of the place is naturally a matter of civil officials, what, Taishi, this candidate has been chosen?" Chai Erniang couldn't help but look at Cai Jing on the side, and faintly, she felt that Cai Jing was coming, probably for her son.
"The old man wants the dog to follow the general to experience, I don't know what the lady thinks?" Cai Jing looked at Chai Erniang, but he was disdainful in his heart, if Li Jing was so good at talking, it was not Li Jing, Zhao Ji lived in the palace, he didn't know what was going on outside the palace, and he thought that the world was under his control, even if it was Li Jing, he was a reckless man, could just a reckless man write such beautiful words? He has seen Li Jing's self, not a thin gold body, but a pavilion body, boxy, with his own school of brushwork, which is completely different from what he showed in front of Zhao Ji at the beginning, which also shows Li Jing's scheming.
Chai Erniang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "My grandson and Lord Cai are friends, if I hear that Lord Cai is going to Hedong Road, I will definitely be very happy." She did not explain Li Jing's attitude, but explained the matter from the relationship between the two.
The corners of Cai Jing's mouth showed a wry smile, if he didn't have a good relationship with Li Jing, even if he went to Hedong Road, I am afraid he would not live long, Li Jing left Tian Hu, it was clear that he was raising his own respect, and what was left was to control the entire Hedong Road in his hands, from officials to localities, even if this world is literati, but not every literati is a backbone, if these officials do not obey Li Jing's orders, Tian Hu's soldiers and horses may appear somewhere. Fortunately, Cai Yan and Li Jing have a good relationship, at least in terms of safety.
"Taishi, my grandson said in the letter that when Tianhu was conquered, Yunzhou soldiers and horses once appeared under the Yanmen Pass, I don't know if there is such a thing?" Chai Erniang said suddenly.
Cai Jing's face was stunned, and he suddenly shook his head and said: "Madam, the imperial court has spent a lot in recent years, not to mention the western army's conquest of Hehuang, this time it took a lot to go south to suppress thieves, not to mention the consumption of the imperial court, the treasury is already empty, if Li Zhengbei conquers Yunzhou again, it will inevitably have a war with Liao, this matter?" I'm afraid I can't pass it in the government hall. ”
"When my grandson fought with Tian Hu, did he spend the court's usual money?" Chai Erniang suddenly said disdainfully.
Cai Jing's old face turned red, Liang Zhongshu had already explained this matter in the letter, the grain and grass that Li Jing needed were also purchased with his own money, and he didn't get any help from the imperial court at all, at this time, it was naturally inappropriate to use this reason to stop Li Jing's Northern Expedition to seize Yunzhou, and he smiled bitterly at the moment: "Yunzhou is different from Hehuang, and Western Xia can't be compared with Da Liao, once the general of Zhengbei attacks Yunzhou, it will cause a big war between the two countries, and the imperial court has any preparations?" ”
"It is Emperor Taizu's last wish to seize the sixteen states of Youyun, and he once issued a holy decree, whoever can seize the sixteen states of Youyun will be crowned king, but I don't know when he will really seize the sixteen states of Youyun?" Chai Erniang said faintly. In fact, this is not only the last wish of the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty, but also the wish of the Later Zhou Emperor, if Chai Rong had not been to seize the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, I am afraid that he would not have died prematurely, and the world would not have fallen into the hands of Zhao Song.
"I'm afraid it won't happen in a few years." Cai Jing thought for a while before saying, "No matter what, you can't do it until you eliminate Fang La, and it's not right now." ”
"Hehe, no matter what happens in the future, this time the Liao State sent troops to Yanmen Pass, which is a provocation to the foreign son, and it is also a provocation to the imperial court, and the foreign son is ready to launch an attack on the Liao State at the right time." Chai Erniang's eyes flashed with an inexplicable divine light.
"What does Li Jing want to do?" Cai Jing's face changed, and he snorted coldly and said: "This is a big plan to destroy the imperial court, once the official family knows, they will never allow a general to open a border provocation without authorization, madam, this matter is very important, if you really want to do it, I am afraid that Li Jing needs to go back to the court in person to explain." Hebei Road is not ready yet! ”
"It's just a lesson for Yunzhou, where do you need so much." Chai Erniang said indifferently: "My grandson said that the things made by the Guangbei siege of the Beijing division are not bad, so it is better to transport some to Hedong Road to deter those barbarians!" What does the Master think? ”
"Really?" Cai Jing looked at Chai Erniang with suspicious eyes.
"Of course, some things are not easy to operate, and they still need to be accompanied by craftsmen, what does Taishi think?" Chai Erniang looked at Cai Jing, but she was actually staring at Cai Jing.
"The old man will handle this matter himself when he goes back, but there cannot be more than ten craftsmen." Cai Jing looked at Chai Erniang with burning eyes.
"Taishi, since craftsmen are so important, why can't the imperial court give more help to craftsmen?" Chai Erniang said with some curiosity. She could see that Cai Jing attached more importance to craftsmen, but the imperial court did not attach importance to craftsmen, and gave less money, which was a strange thing.
"Didn't Madame just say? This is the world of the literati. Cai Jing smiled bitterly. Cai Jing naturally knows the importance of these craftsmen, not to mention that it is in the hands of Li Jing, and even if it is lost to the grassland, it will have a great impact on the Central Plains, but the literati are like this, depending on the things made by craftsmen as strange and obscene skills, where they will pay attention to craftsmen, and they will not improve the treatment of craftsmen.
"I see." Chai Erniang nodded thoughtfully. She already had other thoughts in her heart, but it was just difficult to say it in front of Cai Jing.
Cai Jing and Chai Erniang talked for a while before sending Cai Jing out, on the sedan chair, Cai Jing sat with his eyes closed, and suddenly said to Cai Ying: "You go back and tell Chai Erniang that the craftsmen of the imperial court are all registered, unless they are dead, they will remove the list, these craftsmen are passed down from father to son, master and apprentice, one person enters the craftsman household, and the children and grandchildren are all in the craftsman household." ”
"Father." Cai Ying looked at Cai Jing in surprise.
"Go ahead! Chai Erniang is a smart person and knows the meaning of this sentence. Cai Jing sighed and said: "One Li Jing is not easy to deal with, but now there is one more Chai Erniang, and the two of them are a perfect match." ”
