Chapter 178 Father-son Dialogue
No matter what immoral ideas Zhu Hongsan pondered at home to rectify intellectuals, let's take a look at what Old Man Feng is doing.
Old Man Feng is sixty-seven years old this year, and this age can be said to be the last year of the wind in ancient times. Originally, this old guy had already prepared to find a place to wait for his death, and after he died, he didn't care what the flood was.
But after seeing Zhu Hongsan's strange figure in Beijing, Old Man Feng's restless old heart also began to rejuvenate his strength. He wanted to see where Zhu Hongsan's clan could go.
If he was forced to agree to Zhu Hongsan in Beijing, Feng Ruoshu was really stunned by Zhu Hongsan's industry when he came to Dongguan. He didn't expect that a bastard who didn't understand bullshit would be able to make such a big move in a year.
Outside Dongguan County, there are many chimneys, endless factories, and dense boats parked on the wharf in the county. Truckloads of iron, silk, and tea were brought in, and iron ore, coal, grain, and silver were brought in.
Zhu Hongsan said that this development zone has a new look every day. In the past two days, Feng Ruoshu has seen three silk shops close down, and four more shops have opened the next day.
Feng Ruoshu didn't understand business, but in this small county, he saw something that other cities in Daming did not have, that is, vitality.
Feng Ruoshu, an old bureaucrat with a full set of Confucian education, may have polished his sharpness in his long career in the sea of eunuchs, but the mentality of a scholar to save the country and the people has not faded at all, but has been greatly strengthened because he saw the north.
So today, Feng Ruoshu wanted to talk to his son and ask about some specific situations.
Feng Ziyong actually didn't want to see his father alone, mainly for two reasons. The first is rusty, he grew up in his aunt's house when he was young, and he didn't see Feng Ruoshu a few times.
The second was his mother's. After Feng Ziyong's biological mother was killed by his mother-in-law, Feng Ruoshu didn't care, Feng Ziyong was actually very unhappy. But in this patriarchal society, you can't be a little dissatisfied with your father, otherwise it will be a big rebellion.
Feng Ziyong received a notice from his father in the county government and brought his grandson Feng Dao to see his father Feng Ruoshu.
Feng Ruoshu was very happy to see his grandson Feng Dao, and Confucianism pays attention to hugging his grandson but not his son. Director Feng is now six years old, which is the age of playfulness, but under Feng's self-used education, he is polite and a little intellectual.
If Zhu Hongsan must say that Feng used to poison teenagers, Zhu Hongsan's sons and daughters ran crazy every day, fighting and fighting everything. The eldest Zhu Luo is even more of a tyrant in Zhujiazhuang, Ma Jiyuan has mentioned the issue of children's education to Zhu Hongsan many times, but Zhu Hongsan smiled and did not reply.
Director Feng kowtowed to Feng Ruoshu in a proper manner, and said in a crisp child's voice: "My grandson has asked my grandfather to say goodbye." ”
Feng Ruoshu twisted his long beard and smiled: "Let's get up, grandfather asked you, have you ever gone to school?" ”
Director Feng replied: "After the Chinese New Year, my father gave his grandson Meng, and now he is learning the Three Character Classic. ”
Feng Ruoshu smiled: "Okay, is it okay for the guide to recite a three-character scripture to his grandfather?" ”
Director Feng began to recite the three-character scripture, not to mention, this little guy is very smart, and the three-character scripture of more than 1,000 words is catchy. Feng Ruoshu was very happy to see his grandson so smart, and felt that it was this grandson who took over his mantle.
Feng Ruoshu said after listening to Director Feng's recitation: "Dao'er has a good memory, now you go out with your eldest brother to play." ”
After Feng Ruoshu finished speaking, he motioned to Feng Run behind him to lead Feng Derivation, after all, Feng Ziyu had a big matter to discuss today.
Feng Run was actually very unhappy, he had a lot of opinions about his second uncle. The reason is simple, Feng Run's grandmother and parents both died in Chengdu. There is a big reason for this incident and Feng's inaction.
So when Feng Ziyong came in just now, Feng Run didn't say hello, just saluted and finished.
After Feng Ruoshu saw Feng Run leading Feng Run out, he said, "Second brother (this title is very awkward), don't complain about Feng Run." Don't pass on the grievances of the previous generation to the next generation. ”
Feng Ziyong bowed his head and did not speak.
Feng Ruoshu sighed, this son still complained about himself. But there are some things that must be made clear today.
Feng Ruoshu said: "Second child, I know that you were raised by your aunt when you were young, and you and the Ma brothers have been friends since childhood, but in the future, you must keep your distance from the Ma brothers." ”
Feng Ziyong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Father, why is this?" ”
Feng Ruoshu sighed and said: "When I was in Beijing before, I just thought that Zhu Hongsan could develop somewhat, and at worst, he could be in a corner of Guangdong. At that time, I just wanted to take advantage of the fact that my old bone could still move, open up the world for him, and let my Feng family live better in this troubled era. ”
Speaking of dry mouth, Feng Ruoshu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and then said: "But when I went to Guangdong, I found that this Zhu Hongsan is not ordinary. After a year in Guangdong, he made such a big mess, and this guy will be unusual in the future. ”
Feng Ziyong listened to his father's words and asked, "Father, I don't think it's anything." ”
Feng Ruoshu shook his head and said, "You are insiders and can't see clearly, but I, an outsider, can see it clearly." The biggest difference between Dongguan and other places is vitality, just like a young man in the 14th Five-Year Plan, although he may keep falling, but he is young and can keep getting up. Daming is now just like me, he is about to die, and he will never be able to get up if he falls. ”
Feng Ziyong thought about it, it was really like what his father said. Now it is full of energy from top to bottom, and any work is solved on the same day. Including Feng Ziyong, who has been an official, is the same, he has been infected by this atmosphere, but he doesn't know it.
Feng Ziyong said: "This is also one of the reasons why I went south with the King of Chu, I found that I was very happy with them, and I was also happy at work. Although he was very tired every day, his son felt very satisfied when he saw factories rising from the ground and the people under his rule could have enough to eat. ”
Feng Ruoshu looked at his son and said, "I'm old, and I won't live for a few years." Our Feng family has a thin population, and this family will rely on you in the future. ”
Feng Ziyong said: "Isn't there still the Ma family? They'll help us. ”
Feng Ruoshu said: "This is the reason why I came to you today. Be sure to stay away from the Ma brothers, it is best to find an opportunity to break with them. ”
Feng Ziyong was taken aback when he heard his father say this, and asked, "Father, but the Ma family brothers are disrespectful to you?" ”
Feng Ruoshu shook his head and said, "Zhu Hongsan has come from Huguang to the present, all with the help of the strength of the Ma family. But look at it, can the Ma family speak in Zhu Hongsan's army? A talented Tong Yangjia, who has no political experience at all, Zhu Hongsan actually made him a prefect, the same as the Ma brothers, don't you see a little way? ”
Feng Ziyong has also been in the sea for many years, and the doorway of officialdom is Yemen, and when he heard his father say this, he immediately understood. asked, "Father, do you mean that the King of Chu is slowly diluting the influence of the Ma family?" ”
Feng Ruoshu sighed and said, "The King of Chu has Liu Bei's talent, but he doesn't have Liu Bei's heart. Now there is no way to attach to the Ma family, and when the influence of the Ma family is not so great after the gradual introduction of new people, the Ma family will not be far from bad luck. ”
Feng Ziyong thought for a long time, and said embarrassedly: "Now the four great strategists of the King of Chu are divided into two factions, the Ma family and Tong Yangjia. If I don't help the Ma family, will I help Tong raise a nail? I don't have much friendship with him. ”
Feng Ruoshu is really disappointed in this son, and it seems that his second son is also a Chinese talent. The eldest grandson Feng Run is not good, he is not as good as Feng for his own use. It seems that Director Feng is not bad, and it is necessary for him to bring him to teach in the past few years.
Feng Ruoshu said: "Second brother, why do you always think of clinging to this and that, you are now the person of the King of Chu, just be loyal to the King of Chu." Remember, be a lonely minister loyal to the king, so as to keep our Feng family safe. ”
Feng Ruoshu thought for a while and was not at ease, and then said: "You have nothing to do to look at the historical records, learn how Wanshi Jun Shifen did it." ”
Shi Fen is the brother-in-law of the big hooligan Liu Bang, because Shi Fen and his four sons are all officials of 2,000 stones, so Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty jokingly called their family Wanshijun.
Shi Fen is very cautious, when Emperor Jing, Shi Fen said goodbye to the old man and went home. However, when the court held grand ceremonies and court decrees, he attended as a minister.
When passing through the palace gatehouse, Shi Fen must get out of the car and hurry away to show respect, and when he sees the emperor's car, he must hold his hand on the car to express his greetings.
Shi Fen's children and grandchildren are small officials, and when they go home to visit him, Wan Shijun must also wear court clothes to meet them, and do not call them by name.
The emperor sometimes offered food to his house, and he would bow down and eat it after prostrating himself, as in the presence of the emperor.
Shi Fen is like this, regardless of whether the emperor is present or not, he is loyal to the emperor alone, and he escaped the catastrophes of the early Han Dynasty. And Zhou Yafu, who pretended to be forced, was forced to commit suicide by the knife and pen officials.
