Chapter 514: Heading North
Huang Jin left, as if he evaporated out of thin air, one moment he was still talking about national affairs in the banquet held by the scholars, and the next moment, he disappeared after going to the thatched house.
Although the scholars wanted to know where His Majesty had gone, they didn't dare to inquire carefully, as long as they understood that the national teacher would definitely know!
Pleasing the national teacher is no different from pleasing Your Majesty, or even the Queen Mother.
However, the national teacher does not enter the oil and salt, and has always had his own principles for doing things, and he continues to invest in the investment, and he has not left behind in his advice, let alone favoring anyone, it seems that it is just all the style and businessmen are undoubted, and they no longer care about any national affairs.
"The local government manages the place, and the state affairs are the affairs of the imperial court." In a word, the scholars were so depressed that they almost wanted to scold their mothers.
Anyone in the world can say this, even if it's Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, you can't say it!
Look at these things you did, it really scared the baby to death!
After a round of shopping, the 200,000 troops went to their respective state capitals, as if nothing had happened.
But no one dares to underestimate it, because no one knows who these 200,000 troops are under their orders!
Your Majesty is gone, but who knows where he is? If they are mixed in the army as a pawn, can the soldiers still sleep peacefully?
Similarly, if you are a small housekeeper in Hangzhou, tourists, and observe the people's feelings, can the local scholars sleep peacefully?
In the deep palace of Luoyang, the central capital.
On the fourth watch, the queen mother, who had not slept all night, looked at the Jiangnan emergency report, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, looking at the palace maid who was waiting beside her with a sluggish face, and she didn't understand what happened to the queen mother?
"The power technique, it is still not as good as the heart technique!" After the queen mother finished talking to herself, she instructed a female official: "If you don't go to court tomorrow, the mourning family wants to sleep well." ”
"It's the Queen Mother." The female officer respectfully stepped back.
The next day, although the court did not go to court, the hearts of the hundred officials who knew the situation were like mirrors, transparent.
"This national teacher is directly a plague god, and everywhere he goes, there is no grass!"
"What Mrs. Xie said is extremely true, the national teacher's scheming is so deep that it is embarrassing, and the seeds in Jiangnan have just given birth to some sprouts, and they have been uprooted by him!"
"Alas, fortunately, he left Beijing and traveled to Yunyou, and Master Cao is about to entrust the power of the National Security Mansion, after that, the state religion will not interfere in the imperial court, but popularize compulsory education, but this person has learned well, and I am afraid that he will not be stable in the future!"
"Lu Shangshu, you are really shallow, do you think that people will rebel if they learn well? Talk more to the national teacher and you will know that the more smart people are, the more stable the world will be, because the smarter people are, the more they cherish themselves. ”
"Yes, I read too many books, not only smart people, but also nerds full of sages, so I can't beat the world with one sentence, right?"
"Hehehe, what the Hou Ye said is right, now it's still Moti about the state religion, let's talk about Hebei, now the Queen Mother has made up her mind and is ready to invest money, in my opinion, this poisonous plan will make the Taiping rebels miserable, it won't last long, this Hebei is such a vast land, do you think, how to settle?"
"Well, the Hebei family is all over this time, we have to send someone over to receive it as soon as possible, lobby some families as much as possible, and let the national teacher's Wansan Qianzhuang go to contribute after getting the land, wouldn't it be beautiful for me to sit and collect the fishing profits?"
"The old man thinks it's more stable to farm."
"This is not simple, my child studied in the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, that place, but the place where the grain is specially cultivated, not only Jiangnan rice, grains, but also from the Western Regions merchants spent a lot of money to get a lot of seeds, among which there is a kind of cotton, although not as comfortable as silk, but the warmth is abnormal, better than kapok a hundred times, if it can be planted in a large area, its huge yield is far less than silk, just to meet the needs of the people, for this reason, I also gave the child a hundred acres of fertile land, let him try."
The person who spoke obviously didn't know how to do business, and after saying it triumphantly at this moment, the eyes of the other officials lit up!
Among them, many of their children have listened to the lessons of the national teacher, and they have also been attracted to what science, engineering and agriculture subjects, they have been in it for so long, and they don't know what they are making in it every day, and it is even stranger that the national religion continues to invest money in it, so that the kid here can squander it to his heart's content.
Now, it seems to be paying off!
……
The tide of the Qiantang River is not only spectacular, but also requires human life!
Many scholars in Yuhang Mansion stood on a stone platform, looking at the turbulent tide below, all of them were terrified.
"This is going to collapse, I'm afraid I'll die in the blink of an eye!"
"Rest assured." Dong Ce looked at the group of scholars and said: "This is a tide viewing platform made of leftovers from the court, and its solidity is now obvious to all, I plan to build a hundred miles of river embankment, as a dike study, and can also be used as a tide viewing area." ”
"Isn't it a waste of money for the national teacher to do this?" A scholar wondered.
"It seems, but if I push the embankment two miles, will this wasteland, which will be flooded several times a year, be mine?"
"Ah......h
Dong Ce said: "After I build this land, there will be a hundred miles of roads along the river, including wharves, markets, residential areas, industrial areas, parks, and will also open the art garden and Wansan Qianzhuang, pay attention to the effect, this is the case at present." ”
As Jiang Tang finished speaking, the two disciples behind him immediately opened a huge picture scroll, and suddenly, a huge lacquer painting was spectacularly presented in the eyes of the scholars.
Inside, there is a lively streetscape, and the location is in this vicinity, because the huge waves above are so magnificently depicted, and the scene of the crash against the embankment is exactly the same as the scene under their feet.
"How many stones do you need?"
"And even if there are stones, it is not certain whether they can withstand the perennial tidal corrosion, and it remains to be seen whether this tide viewing platform has only been built recently."
Many people have raised questions, but they really don't have much confidence in this project.
"I don't need you to invest money, I just hope that you don't obstruct it when you make money, of course, I don't refuse to invest money, but I said it in advance, don't blame me if you lose."
After Dong Ce finished speaking, when the scholars were talking, he said to Chen Zhang: "It is you who will handle the fundraising, you will not start construction first, prepare materials, and wait for the people from the Ministry of Engineering to come down before starting, you must do a good job, otherwise I don't know when the new flood control project will be delayed in the future." ”
Chen Zhang said cautiously: "Don't worry, I will check everywhere." ”
"Hmm."
Dong Ce ignored the scholars who were discussing and walked straight to the bottom of the stands.
The national teacher is leaving, not only leaving the tide viewing platform, but also leaving Hangzhou, which is simply painful and happy for the Hangzhou scholars!
The national teacher can bring them wealth, but it also brings them worry!
No one wants to be toyed with in the applause, or the crisis that you may lose your head if you are not careful, he is here for a day, many people can't sleep well, he left, someone actually secretly bought a string of firecrackers to celebrate, but more reluctant!
"The stadium hasn't been built yet, and the national teacher is leaving......" Huang Langjing looked at Dong Cedao.
"Yes, my horse farm is still under construction, and there are many people who don't understand and want to ask the national teacher, are you so anxious? Stay for an extra year. Feng Yuantai, the owner of Chase Horse Bank, is also very reluctant at the moment.
"Alas, things don't wait for anyone, the plan has been given to you, this matter must be fully responsible for you, don't worry, it's not that difficult, it's just tired, but you have to remember that guys who can't take their interests seriously, no matter what they do, they can only return in vain."
“…… Disciple, keep it in mind. ”
Huang Langjing's words made Dong Ce cry and laugh, this is inexplicable, there is another disciple!
"Are they already out to sea?" Dong Ce suddenly looked at Wu Guogong.
Wu Guogong nodded and said, "I have already gone to sea, and everyone is disguised as businessmen, hoping that they can come back safely." ”
"Originally, he was a businessman, and he couldn't be disguised, but now Dongying still values peace, and the real enemy is only the sea...... Chen Zhang, it's all over to you, don't let me down. ”
After Dong Ce finished speaking, he got into the carriage, grabbed the reins of the horse, and was alone in Chen Zhang's promise, and the carriage swayed lightly and disappeared around the corner of the street.
……
Gusu Mansion City, in the small courtyard of the Liu family.
Liu Yong saw that her granddaughter was laughing stupidly, and she couldn't help but walk in with doubts, only to find that her granddaughter was looking at a letter.
"Dong Gongzi sent it?"
"Huh? Oh...... Well! After Liu Su was startled, her pretty face turned crimson.
"Ugh." Liu Yong smiled bitterly, sat down next to Liu Su, took the tea handed by Liu Su and drank it, and said, "Since you have been engaged, don't you let him come early to marry?" ”
"Grandpa!" Liu Suliu raised his eyebrows, and said very dissatisfied: "Dong Lang has been too busy recently, and the affairs in Hangzhou have not been completely dealt with, so he is ready to go north." ”
"Oh!" Liu Yong's face was a little displeased, and he said, "This kid doesn't come to visit the north when he goes north?" ”
"Dong Lang is a national teacher after all, and his whereabouts cannot be exposed indiscriminately, otherwise he will be watched everywhere he goes, so how can he do things."
"Yes, yes, he's right about everything." Liu Yong saw his granddaughter talking about Dong Celai, although her expression was constantly changing, but her mood was only one word "sweet", so sweet that she forgot to pour him tea.
Helplessly, the old man poured himself a cup, and after drinking it all, he looked at Liu Su and said, "Dong Ce! When this kid met the old man for the first time, the old man expected that this son was extraordinary, and his bearing was not at all what his peers could have. ”
"Master...... Father! ”
Liu Su was speechless with shame, but Liu Yong didn't seem to see it, and continued: "It doesn't matter where you get married, as long as you can marry the Ruyi Langjun you like, can you really bear to let your grandfather not be able to hold his great-grandson?" ”
This time Liu Su is really silent!
It's not that she doesn't want to get married, after being drunk by Cao Luorong and confiding in Dong Ce, she has always hoped to pass the door as soon as possible, and at the same time, she is more concerned about her grandfather, and hopes that she will always serve her grandfather well in the few days she has.
But now when she heard her grandfather's words, she suddenly felt that she was wrong.
Liu Su suddenly returned to the room, and soon ran out again, calling out, "Goro." ”
"Alas, what did Mrs. Liu command?" Zhong Xiaoling appeared in the courtyard like lightning.
Liu Su handed a letter to Zhong Xiaoling and said, "Can you catch up?" ”
"Hey, this is not easy, Liu Niangzi rest assured, even if the sect leader is at the end of the world, I can deliver this letter to him." Zhong Xiaoling said that he ran away and disappeared.
Liu Yong squinted at her granddaughter slightly, shook her head and smiled: "If you don't marry again, grandpa and I will soon be unable to pay taxes for you!" ”
