Chapter 107: Fire and Water
Thank you for the tipping of the book friend Princess Murasaki Shikibu!
……
So, in this humble little slurry shop, the two made a verbal oath of "I have no rebellion, I have no strong Jia". Zhao Wuxian attached great importance to this, and also asked Zigong to personally go to his territory to form a township in the future, make a blood alliance, and discuss the specific details.
After all, the young Duanmu Ci is not the top tycoon in the world who can compete with the princes decades later, and his knowledge is limited. For this oath, he himself felt that he was hugging Zhao's thighs and taking advantage of them.
But Zhao Wuxian felt that he had also taken a big advantage, he was investing in a future potential stock, and Zigong's business methods and connections between countries were nothing to say.
It's a win-win deal indeed.
Duanmu Ci took over the Zhao Fu Jie, which was cast in bronze in the shape of a bamboo knot and engraved with small characters on the Jin seal, which was a duty-free pass for the transportation of goods by land and water in the Jin Kingdom. The inscription also strictly stipulates the scope of land and water transportation, the number of ships, the carriage of cattle and horses, and the relevant conversion methods, as well as the prohibition of transporting armaments such as copper, iron and leather abroad.
With it, Duanmu Ci can be unimpeded in the Jin Kingdom from now on, and he no longer has to be continuously exploited. Even in Wei, Lu and other places, those scholars were afraid of the Zhao family and did not dare to collect tariffs from him.
However, Duanmu Ci also had doubts: "The gentleman said that he wanted to provide goods for the proprietor, but I don't know what it is?" I heard that the territory of the gentleman is only a small township of hundreds of households, corn and the like, and the profit is not large. ”
Zhao Wuxian smiled mysteriously and said: "Don't worry, Zigong, don't you have to go to Lu Country first, and when you return when the wheat is ripe, you can know!" ”
Duanmu Ci's heart moved, could it be that it was related to the Lu potters that the Zhao gentlemen bought? But pottery is not an easy deal, not to mention Fan's special (que).
He was confused, but he also set up the first business after the cooperation between the two with Zhao Wuxian, which was related to the excellent breed "Rong Shu".
"Rong Shu? Lu country does have, in the past, the Duke of Qi Huan conquered the mountain, cut the lonely bamboo and returned, and also sent Guan Yiwu to the temple of the Duke of Zhou to dedicate this thing, since then it has been spread in Lubang, I didn't expect the gentleman to know. ”
When Zhao Wuxian entrusted Duanmu to go to Qilu and other places, he helped him buy some local Rongshu seeds and winter onion seedlings, which naturally got Zigong's consent.
……
At this time, in Fan's craftsman's workshop, Fan Jia, the grandson of the ruling Jin State, was holding a well-made white pottery to observe.
He frowned and said, "Are you sure, that person really calls himself a gentleman of the Zhao family?" ”
The craftsman who was beaten away by Zhao Wuxian in the morning had a swollen face, knelt in front of Fan Jia and cried: "The villain definitely didn't hear it wrong, he is still holding Zhao's talisman." ”
"This is a strange thing, then why did the Zhao family buy potters, just to get along with my Fan family? Or, something else? ”
The craftsman on the side asked the master of the Fan family: "Gentleman, those potters should not have been escorted out of the city yet, do you think I want to ......?"
A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Fan He's mouth, and he waved his hand and said: "It's okay, it's just more than ten Lu potters, and for my Fan's specialized lacquer pottery city, it's just a drop in the bucket!" Then Zhao's concubine wants to buy it back to make toys, let him go! Could it be that he could make any big waves? ”
"However, I can't let him lose nothing, the second and third sons, send someone to the Sikou Department and Pan Palace to sue him, just say that Zhao Wuxian openly made a big fuss in the city and beat me Fan Craftsman during the initial lockdown order! This time, even if there is someone in the court who protects him, he will not be severely punished, but it is good to disgust him! ”
……
When Zhao Wuxian and Duanmu Ci came out of the pulp shop, it was already noon, and Wen Shang Jia Meng also returned, saying that the oxen and carriage had been arranged.
Zhao Wuxian had to give him some hard expenses, and by the way, he introduced Duanmu to meet him, and among businessmen, one more connection, one more opportunity.
When saying goodbye to Zigong, Zhao Wuxian also asked him something.
"I heard that the law of the Lu country, the Lu people are the concubines of the princes, and those who can redeem them can take the money from the government after returning to Lu, I don't know if there is such a thing?"
"The gentleman is erudite, yes, this is the rule set by Dr. Zang Wenzhong in the past."
Zhao Wuxian said in his heart If this is the case, he said: "With such benevolent and righteous regulations, Zang Wenzhong deserves to be called the three immortal figures by later generations, then Zigong ransomes the concubines of Lu who are from Qufu, and after returning to Lu State, will he accept the reward of the government?" ”
Zigong's face was slightly colorful: "Naturally not, although the gift is not rich and expensive, but it is also worry-free, the ransom is for righteousness, if you also accept the ransom, isn't it for profit?" ”
Zhao Wuxian laughed.
Duanmu Ci was very strange and asked, "Why is the gentleman laughing?" ”
"I laugh at Zigong's big mistake."
Duanmu Ci was puzzled: "Why? ”
Zhao Wuxian replied: "I won't say the reason first, when Zigong returns to Lu State, I will ask your master myself!" ”
Before leaving, Zhao Wuxian also arranged for two clever riders to leave with Duanmu Ci.
Jiaji is a captain of the light knights, from Jiali, and is the youngest son of the patriarch of the Jia clan. And Yu Yu was originally a native of the lower palace stable, but after being restored to his free body by Zhao Wuxian, and even promoted to the status of a countryman, they also learned from Yu Xi and took the homonym "Yu" as their clan.
Of course, in addition to the messengers, they are also the overseers who are placed by Zigong's side. Although after the slave ransom incident, Zhao Wuxian was trustworthy in Zigong's character and reputation, but he had to leave behind.
Because if Zhao Wuxian remembers correctly, in the original history, the relationship between his cheap father Zhao Ying and Kong Qiu was the same as fire and water, and he wanted to destroy the other party quickly!
The festival between Zhao Ying and Kong Qiu has to start from ten years ago, when Zhao Ying, who had just been ranked as the next secretary of the Qing Dynasty, built a city on the shore of Rushui in the south and levied a drum of iron from the local people.
This is the first large-scale collection of iron from the people in the Spring and Autumn Period, after returning to China, Zhao Ying used this drum iron to cast an iron tripod, and the tripod was also cast with the sentence book formulated by Zhao Xuanzi a hundred years ago.
Thus, the first written law of the Jin Kingdom was born.
At that time, the written law was still a new thing that led the times, and naturally there would be scholars who yearned for three generations of simple life to criticize it, and Kong Zhongni, a critic of the opposition in the Lu country, took the lead in standing up and making trouble.
His first sentence was sensational: "Jin is about to lose the country, right?" ”
After that, there was a large section of sprinkled comments, which roughly meant that the Jin State did not abide by the good feudal order handed down by the first feudal monarch Tang Shuyu and the overlord Jin Wengong, but engaged in any written law. If everything is based on a fixed criminal law, who will respect the orders of the nobility? Since then, the Jin Kingdom has been disorderly, how can it be a country?
Moreover, he believes that Zhao Xuanzi's sentence book was formulated by Zhao Dun when he was in Yizhifu (621 BC). That was the system that was produced when the Jin monarch was not a monarch and a minister was not a minister, and it was in chaos, how could it be used as the current national law after a hundred years?
This is the second contest between the two pioneers of Confucianism and Law in the Spring and Autumn Period, the first time is that Zheng Guozhi issued a letter of punishment and was severely condemned by the uncle of Jin Guoxian.
Interestingly, on that occasion, Confucius sided with his idol Zheng Zichan and approved of his pioneering move of promulgating the penal code. But twenty years later, it's the other way around, and I don't know if he's getting older, becoming conservative, or if he's not doing things right.
From then on, Zhao Ying looked at Kong Qiu, and Kong Qiu looked at Zhao Ying, both of which were a little different and did not conspire with each other.
Zhao Wuxian also knew that in the original history, in the next twenty years, due to various reasons, the contradiction between the two intensified, and finally evolved into a situation where Zhao Ying had to kill Kong Qiu and then quickly.
And Kong Qiu also quickly transformed into a 10,000-year-old Zhao Hei, who was in favor of Zhao, he was against it, and he was in favor of anything that Zhao opposed......
However, the feud between the two is not so deep now. Judging from Zigong's words, it seems that Master and Apprentice Kong Qiu still strongly agreed with Zhao Wuxian's initiative to "stop obeying death" law, and even his attitude towards Zhao has changed a little.
It was not early, and after saying goodbye to Duanmu Ci, who was full of questions, Zhao Wuxian rushed back to the Zhao mansion, planning to visit Zhao Guangde again, so he obediently returned to Chengyi to "think".
He changed out of his short clothes and short brown in the carriage, put on his deep clothes, and just entered the courtyard, but he met Wei Ji's chariot again.
The relationship between Wu Xian and Wei Ji is also the same.
