"So that's the case, Brother Chen sent you back, he actually got a paper mill, and wanted to sell paper in Luoyang, it's really not the same as ordinary people, but this idea, I'm afraid it will be difficult to realize, even if it can be sold, I'm afraid that the harvest is not in line with what Brother Chen thinks. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

In the Zhao family's house, Zhao Yuan entertained Su Liao, and after the two sides met the ceremony, he said such a paragraph.

Su Liao is Chen Zhi's staff, not a servant, and now his identity is also a scholar, Zhao Yuan's hometown quality is higher, but he also has to be a corporal of Lixian, so he is quite polite when talking to Su Liao, and the two of them also sit in the position of host and guest.

When Su Liao heard this, he asked, "But because the people of this capital have any prejudices about the things produced in the northern Xinjiang, do they not want to accept it?" The paper made by my master is rare in the world, and I have also brought a sample of it, which Zhao Jun can see. ”

Zhao Yuan shook his head and said: "Brother Chen's ability, I know, since he wants to sell paper, he must have his own considerations, and what he does must be enough to make people marvel, but the problem I am talking about is not the prejudice of the south, nor the arrogance of the people of the capital with external objects, in the final analysis, it is based on Brother Chen himself and analyzing this Luoyang scholar." ”

"Please also ask Zhao Jun to point me out," Su Liao stood up and bowed, "When I was going, the lord once instructed that Zhao Jun was a good friend and had a lot of knowledge, and if I had any difficulties in Luoyang, I could come and ask Zhao Jun for advice." ”

"Brother Chen praised me falsely, he thinks too highly of me!" Zhao Yuan was modest, but he couldn't help but smile on his face, and every inch of his entire face revealed joy.

The servants who were waiting on the side saw it, and they couldn't help nodding secretly, knowing that their own master, in the past two days, they have hit a wall one after another, and the debate has been refuted, and this talent has also been compared to others, and they have been reprimanded by their predecessors.

But of course, Zhao Yuan would not get carried away because of one or two words of praise, so after laughing, he turned to explain: "Actually, what you said is good, whether it is the capital or Jiangzuo, I don't attach much importance to the things produced in the northern frontier, because in the eyes of our people, the products produced in the frontier are all for the Hu people outside the grassland, so what are the Hu people?" Don't look at them now, they also spread Chinese clothes and talk about learning, but in the eyes of many people, they are still crowned by monkeys! ”

As soon as Su Liao heard this, his expression became solemn, and he was planning to collect information about the surprise of the north and the south.

Zhao Yuan's words continued: "I have intersected with foreign nobles who studied in the capital, such as the Tuoba Department and others, I met in it, at that time, the people in the Luoyang circle respected them on the surface, but behind their backs they often said that they drank blood, which is also the reason why many people of different races, after coming to Luoyang, but they have resentment, I am afraid that it has long been contrary to the original intention of formulating such a policy, but it is also because of this, the people in the capital do not look down on the things in the north and are unwilling to use them, just to prevent being said that they are the same as the Hu people!" ”

Su Liao frowned, and couldn't help asking: "In this way, my family's master's plan is about to fail?" ”

"If it is other people's words, it is inevitable that it will be disappointed," Zhao Yuan followed the conversation, "but since it is Brother Chen, of course it is different, his name is still circulating in the capital, and the afterglow of Luoyang's commentaries has not yet dissipated. ”

Su Liao understood, but said: "In this case, Zhao Jun still said that the harvest will not match what my family master thought, it is because of the Buddha's comment." ”

"You met me outside the Baijia Tea Shop before, so you must have seen the situation inside, yes, it is precisely because of this Buddha comment!"

Zhao Yuan nodded, showing a look of regret, and said: "Yes, the fashion in this city has been led by Buddhism recently, and the monk Ming has a suspicion of Brother Chen, and he is slandered everywhere, and he still leads public opinion in Luoyang. ”

Su Liao was a little puzzled and asked, "Huh?" When the lord of my family left, there were arrangements, Dong Xu and others stayed in the secretary province and the Taile Department, and there were a few secretaries to maintain the situation, these comments are unchangeable, even if there are any changes, and according to the rules left by the lord, how can a Buddha comment be shaken a lot? ”

"Speaking of which, it was also caused by an accident," Zhao Yuan sighed, "The chaos in Shu prompted the emperor to go to the Western Capital, and now it is the King of Jiangdu who controls the situation in Luoyang!" ”

Su Liao said: "This king of Jiangdu, I have heard of his reputation in Xiapi, and he is also a person who respects celebrities, and it is not necessarily a bad thing for him to preside." ”

The fief of the king of Jiangdu, in fact, is next to Guanglingjun, in fact, a part of Guanglingjun was specially divided, and the county seat of several surrounding counties communicated to form a Jiangdu County.

The origin of this king of Jiangdu is not simple, the first king of Jiangdu is the brother of Emperor Xuanwu who unified the Central Plains, and the third brother of Emperor Xuanwu.

After Emperor Xuanwu unified the Central Plains, in order to strengthen his control, he moved several princes and county kings with titles in the north and put their fiefs back to the north, but also attached importance to the south.

After all, this Jiangzuo land is the basic plate of the Xinhan Dynasty, and it is also one of the important tax places, after moving the capital to Luoyang, the control of the south will inevitably weaken, so he will be his two younger brothers, Liu Zheng and Liu You are sealed in the Jiangzuo portal, the bank of the river.

That Liu Zheng was the king of Guangling, and he was finally the heir.

And Liu You is the king of Jiangdu, and his nickname is Ding, he is the king of Jiangdu, and his son Liu Hui inherits the prince, and he is the second generation of Jiangdu king, that is, the one who is currently presiding over Luoyang's political affairs.

The father of the current emperor, Liu Zhen, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, if he is alive, he still has to close this Jiangdu king Liu Hui and call him an imperial uncle, and when it comes to the generation of the current emperor Liu Dai, the king of Jiangdu is their grandfather's generation, and he is a relatively close imperial relative within three generations.

However, don't look at Liu Hui's high seniority, but he is only seven out of forty this year, and his energy is still very strong.

It is this kind of reason that will let Liu Chu, the king of Guanghan, invite him to sit in the capital, after all, it is a generation apart, and in Liu Chu's opinion, it is a relatively easy candidate to master.

“…… Before the king of Guanghan left, many people proposed to let the king of Huainan, the king of Ganling, and the king of Changsha come over to sit in the town, these are the brothers of the former emperor and the emperor's uncle, but the king of Guanghan did not agree, and he may also be worried about repeating the situation of the king of the East China Sea, after all, the king of the East China Sea is also the emperor's uncle. ”

Zhao Yuan was not shy about it, and said some of the royal situation, and the topic returned to the king of Jiangdu: "Before the king of the East China Sea, he was inclined to the Buddhist family, but he invited the Buddha to Luoyang, there are many checks and balances, in order to balance the influence of the family, I have met with the king of the East China Sea a few times, and talked to him about the law of Buddhism, and found that although he has an understanding of the Buddhist scriptures, but he is not a liking, and some local rumors that he believes in Buddhism, it is not true, but the king of Jiangdu is different." ”

"The land of Jiangzuo has always been a heavy place for taxation, after decades of operation of the Han Dynasty, especially after the unification of the north and south, the southerners are respected, and the south is more preferential, so the humanities are prosperous, and the Buddhist temples are also numerous, and the king of Jiangdu is very close to the Jiangshui Temple, so he likes Buddhism, so after he came to Luoyang, he immediately began to revitalize the Buddha......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yuan suddenly narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "And this move also has the meaning of expressing his intentions, which is to reassure King Guanghan and express that he King Jiangdu only likes to chant Buddha, and what he has in his heart is the ambition to be born, just like Wang Jian was self-defiled back then, so he will only do more and more excessively." ”

Su Liao finally understood what he meant, so he asked, "In this way, this King of Jiangdu will be particularly supportive of the Buddhist family's Buddhist commentary?" ”

Zhao Yuan took a deep breath before arriving: "I'm afraid that he will not hesitate to destroy the foundation left by Brother Chen and destroy the situation of the commentaries, he also wants to make the Buddha commentary complete, this situation, anything that may affect the authority of the Buddhist commentary will be suppressed, Brother Chen's influence on the commentaries is too great, he is now in the northern Xinjiang, the king of Jiangdu will not take it to heart, if it suddenly affects the Buddhist commentary, it will be different, coupled with the selfishness of the Ming monk, I am afraid that it will be detrimental to Brother Chen's reputation, and the so-called paper selling is even more impossible to talk about." ”

Su Liao pondered for a while, and then said: "The current situation, is the ruling king of Jiangdu, in order to ensure the progress of the Buddhist commentary, no one is allowed to beak in this matter, let alone tolerate others pointing fingers, if the head of my family does not jump out, it will be fine, and he can still rely on the identity of the founder of the commentaries to enjoy respect, but if he comes forward at this time, he will spoil the plan of the prince, he may be suppressed, and if the reputation falls, this northern Xinjiang paper will have no advantage, even if its quality is good, it will not get the benefits it deserves." ”

Zhao Yuan nodded and said: "Mr. Su is really a smart person, he understands the pros and cons, what Brother Chen wants you to do, let's wait for a while, now the Buddhist family is in full swing, and in the past two or three months, I believe that the influence of the Buddhist commentary will dissipate, and at that time, Brother Chen's affairs will not beat the heartstrings of King Jiangdu." ”

Wait two or three months?

Su Liao shook his head silently in his heart, if he really waited, I am afraid that the grassland chaos war has already broken out, and it will be too late to say anything.

He knows that Chen Zhi's order this time is related to the entire northern strategy, and it is also a manifestation of trusting himself, how can he retreat?

Thinking about the two books he carried, Su Liao suddenly had an idea.

On the other side, Zhao Yuan was still saying: "In fact, all of this is caused by the fact that Zhu Faqian is too good, although I have a dislike for him, but I don't have to admit that he is indeed a rare talent for decades, and he has the character of a grandmaster in his first year, and he has also comprehended many Buddhist scriptures thoroughly, this Buddhist commentary, maybe he can come up with some works, otherwise, Wang Lan will not say such things, huh?" Mr. Su, with your expression, is there anything else you haven't said? ”
