Chapter 44 Picking Words
Zheng Guochang glanced at Zhang Han deeply, and suddenly asked, "Zhang Han, you haven't picked up the word yet, right?" ”
Zhang Han said with a smile: "What kind of identity is the little nephew, at such an age, how dare he take the word." ”
"You don't have to be too humble, your family background is a descendant of Fengpan Gong, who is worse than you? is also a child, now in such a career, what about taking words? ”
Zhang Han knew what Zheng Guochang meant, and immediately bowed: "Just ask the fourth uncle to give the little nephew a word." ”
This word is not taken at random, it is generally taken by the teacher for the student, or the elder for the son and nephew, this word is taken, Zheng Guochang is considered to have a formal relationship with Zhang Han, and Zhang Han returned to Xinpingbao in the future, a word is taken by Zheng Guochang, and others understand the key in their hearts, Zhang Han has not run in vain this day, and the relationship with Zheng Guochang is very advanced.
Zheng Guochang groaned: "Although you are a business wizard, your family background cannot be forgotten...... You have a single word name, just take the word Wenlan, forget you buy and sell, but also do not forget to read, Wenlan, you must know that although there is a son of heaven in the Ming Dynasty, the way of governing the country and the people who govern the country are in the hands of our generation of scholars. Why can your Fengpangong be a university scholar, and the children of the rich merchant's family study hard day and night, this is the reason. Even if you don't study, you still have to train your children to study and improve in the future, and you must keep in mind today. ”
Zhang Han was not convinced by Zheng Guochang's words, why should the world listen to all the readers? If the scholars are really angry, the Ming Dynasty will not be so messy and a picture of the end of the world, nor will it be called to take over the world, and the Qing Dynasty will not be beaten backward, since you have mastered the world, then don't put the responsibility on other groups, rely on the military generals or eunuchs, is it interesting?
This group of people is not very capable, but they are very conceited, and there is nothing else in the world except reading that is the right way, so domineering, he really doesn't like it.
But he knew that Zheng Guochang was motivated by good intentions at this time, so he bowed down immediately and replied solemnly: "The teachings of the fourth uncle, the little nephew will remember it in his heart and will never dare to forget it." ”
"This matter, although Brother Zhang Quanchang is targeting Ma Chengen, we can be regarded as being affected by the pond fish, but the more this is the case, the more difficult it will become......
Zheng Guochang sat down again, holding a wine glass with a hesitant look on his face.
If it is a pure conflict of interests, it is easy to do, Zhang Han's side does not have to come forward, he will send his confidants and family members to Zhang's house to talk, talk about the yards, Zhang Han's side will let some profits, the grain will be collected, and those local tyrants and villains don't have to take it to heart...... Zhang Han's dart master is not a vegetarian, Zheng Guochang has also heard of some, this thing is inevitable, the person who fights is a dart master, and if you don't fight, people will automatically give it to you? Is the monthly bonus really that good? If it weren't for Zheng Guochang and Ma Chengen's opening of the military escort, Zhang Han's mule and horse shop and account bureau would be so easy to expand?
But this matter involves the turf dispute between the two generals, and the content is not so simple, even if Zheng Guochang comes forward to mediate as the deputy envoy of military preparation, it is likely that the mediation will fail in the end, and he will lose his face in vain.
He pondered for a moment, looked at Zhang Han, and was ready to ask Zhang Han to back down...... Let's take a step for the time being, and wait for Ma Chengen and Zhang Quanchang to fight the results, and then talk about it.
There is only one case called Zheng Guochang who is a little hesitant, if Ma Chengen, the general soldier, wins, Zhang Han can be regarded as speculative on both sides at this time, and both sides are not offended at the same time, if Ma Chengen wins, he will still find trouble with Zhang Han, which is still an extremely troublesome matter.
It is true that the dynasty uses literature to control the military, but that is at the official level, and it also depends on the place, Datong is an important border army town after all, and the military forces, especially the forces of the generations of generals, are not under the civilian officials, involving the struggle for personal interests, Zheng Guochang is not good to do too much, and it is easy to cause a backlash if he uses power to suppress it.
What's more, since Jiajing, the border army has mutinied many times, and if it really wants to stir up any chaos because of this incident, Zheng Guochang is afraid that his career will be finished or a trivial matter, and it will be wrong to lose his life.
It's so hard to think about it!
"Fourth uncle, I still want to ask ......" Zhang Han had already seen Zheng Guochang's embarrassment, he thought about it roughly, and understood that this matter involved political disputes, and the reason for Zheng Guochang's dilemma, he meditated for a moment, poured another glass of wine for Zheng Guochang, and asked in a deep voice: "Why did Vice General Zhang target General Ma?" ”
"The situation of the Ma family in recent years is not as good as before, Ma Chengen is the general soldier of Datong, and the Zhang family also has a general army of Liaodong, in terms of the number of deputy generals, generals, and guerrillas, the Zhang family is also a lot, Zhang Quanchang wants to go further, the best way is to squeeze out the general army of Ma, so that the interests of Datong here, the Ma family also has to give up to the Zhang family......"
"I get it." Zhang Han nodded very calmly: "Now that Deputy General Zhang is using this to launch, there must be a lot of actions in the future, using the word 'squeeze', doing everything possible to make Ma Zongbing uncomfortable, fighting connections on both sides and the back and stage, each of them finds faults, once it is launched, you have to go alone, isn't it?" ”
"Huh?" Zheng Guochang was really surprised this time, his mouth couldn't help but open, and his eyes were like bull's eyes...... Staring at Zhang Han, Zheng Guochang ate and said: "If it weren't for your family background, with such insight at your age, the old man would really be a demon for you." The battle for the official position, about the same as you said, unless the general army does not accept the recruitment now, otherwise, once the fight starts, it can really only be as you said, you have to go one. ”
"Fourth uncle, in that case, why did you find a way to ask them to go before the black-eyed chickens they were fighting?"
"What does that mean?"
"It's simple...... Tell Vice General Zhang to leave. ”
"It's not that simple!" Zheng Guochang smiled and shook his head, after all, this is still a child's opinion, if only it were so easy.
"Fourth uncle, the Zhang family wants benefits, this is easy to do, I can collect his family's grain here, according to the price given by those big grain merchants...... This is just a small amount of money, very limited, this is actually just to give face, more important is that he wants the position of the general soldier, the little nephew just thought about it, Ma Zongbing is still in his prime, I am afraid that he will not go to work in a few years, but the general soldier of Shanxi Town, he is old and incompetent, and he is not from a family, at least it is very worse than the Ma family, and the attack on Datong Town is not as good as Shanxi Town, the two sides are very close, and it is also within the sphere of influence of the Zhang family......"
"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!"
Zheng Guochang stood up, looked at Zhang Han with dead eyes, and his whole face was shining.
After shouting three times in a row, Zheng Guochang laughed on his back again, this thing is really difficult for Zhang Han to think of!
Although Shanxi Town is not as good as the status of Datong Town, but in fact, it is almost the same, whether it is a short quota, a horse market, it also has its own scope, it is best to get the general army of Datong, if you can't get the position of the general army of Shanxi, it is also very good, it is a leap from the deputy general to the general army, and it is only the general soldier who will be transferred in the future, and Zhang Quanchang can also accept this result, if Zheng Guochang adds a Ma family to the Zhang family...... Presumably Ma Chengen is also very willing, and Yulin Zhang's family to fight to the death, it is really better to join forces with the two to help Zhang Quanchang get Shanxi Town, in this way, it is considered that the overall situation is alive, everyone does not fight to the death, there is no broken face, naturally they can also join forces to make a fortune, in the future, Zhang Han can open up mule and horse logistics routes in Shanxi, and the account business can also blossom in the whole territory of Shanxi, so that the wind and water will flourish...... In this later life, it's hard to understand how he thinks, how his brain is so active, and how he understands things so clearly!
Thinking of this, Zheng Guochang said excitedly: "Wen Lan, I really hope that you can go to school now, then I can really accept you as a disciple, you will be able to become a generation of capable ministers, and your achievements will not be under the Fengpan Gong back then!" ”
Zhang Siwei was born as a university scholar, a generation of famous ministers, and a big man who posthumously presented the Taishi, and Zheng Guochang's evaluation of Zhang Han at this time will not be under Zhang Siwei, for a young man who is not yet seventeen, this reward is almost too high, and even to the point of "improper".
But the person concerned didn't feel this way, when Zhang Han got up to thank him, Zheng Guochang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Wenlan, you don't need to be humble...... My words are to say that after you 'go to school', you, I'm afraid that you won't go to school in this life, Feng Pangong is underground, you will only feel sorry, and you won't feel that my words are inappropriate! ”
"Yes......" Zhang Han said with a smile: "The little nephew is a vulgar bone, books can only be used to cultivate sentiments, and if you want to do it seriously, I'm afraid it's really difficult." ”
"That's it." Zheng Guochang smiled, and only said: "Wenlan, you go to Datong to see Ma Chengen, the old man is here to talk to Zhang Quanchang, and then the two sides will operate separately, find a starting point to start the matter, that day Chengwei collected grain everywhere, you can continue as usual after you see Ma Zongbing, I believe that as long as Zhang Quanchang is not stupid and stupid, he will not refuse our suggestion!" ”
"Yes," Zhang Han stood up and said respectfully: "The little nephew did everything as the fourth uncle ordered." ”
……
Yang Qiu and others asked the doctor for treatment, and Li Yuchun's injuries slowly began to improve, and after less than ten days of recuperation, he was close to healing.
The injuries on his body are almost healed, but the anxiety in his heart is getting worse day by day.
