Chapter 478: Yan Zi's suicide note
PS: The second more is presented, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass!
"Jinjun is decorated with the jade of Kunshan, holding the pearl of Suiguo, wearing the sword of Wu Yue, riding the horse of the north, building the banner of the cuifeng, and the drum of the tree spirit. This number of treasures, Qi is not born, and you have it, why not? The big river, the noon road, the Pu, and the Ji are also transferred! If all roads are broken, it is a luminous beauty, not decorating the court; The rhino elephant is not for good fun; The daughters of Zheng and Wei are not filled with harems, and Junliang is not a real stable, Jiangnan Jinxi is not used, Xishu Danqing is not picked, and Song Lu Lu's clothes are not in the front ......"
"The name of the erector is to admonish as a foreign minister, but he is really deceiving me!"
Qi Hou was furious when he saw it, threw the paper book to the ground, and stomped on it a few times.
The ministers were up and down, only Chen Heng pondered in his heart, and he secretly sighed in surprise: "The attitude of this "Salt Policy Order" is neither humble nor arrogant, the rhetoric is gorgeous, the arrangement is extravagant, the syllables are smooth, and the rationality is sufficient......."
"If you want to ban salt to harm the enemy country, you will actually harm yourself in order to benefit you, the break of the noon road, the tax of Taoqiu, and the defeat of Jishui are all like this. Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help, and they also hope that Qi Hou will investigate it and relieve the ban on salt policy, which is the blessing of hundreds of millions of people in Qilu! ”
For example, this paragraph is overflowing, the meaning is mixed and witty, the language is strange and heavy, and the rabbit rises and falls. Although Zhao Wuxian was a doctor of the enemy country, his protests had an irrepressible momentum, and even Chen Heng couldn't help but secretly admire his young opponent.
However, is this really written by Zhao's son? The previous poems were famous in Zhuxia, but I didn't see how many articles he wrote, so it wouldn't be a ghostwriter looking for a pen!
For Zhao Wuxian, Chen Heng did not hesitate to speculate the most viciously, but this time. The fire that Zhao Wuxian put on Jishui helped the Chen family again, helping them to hit the office boat master hard!
Naturally, there are people from the Chen family among the boat masters of Donglai and Shaohai. Add to this the fleet on the great river, the power of the water alone. Chen has quietly surpassed the office......
Therefore, in the face of Qi Hou's question, "How should it be good now", Chen Heng decided to be silent this time and not say a word.
Anyway, the great river controlled by the Chen clan can continue to trade, and as the war between Qi and Lu, Cao, and Jin deepens, all participants will suffer, but Chen is the victor: the people of Qi will also have a hard time, but Chen can take this opportunity to win a wave of popular support.
The shovel of stealing the country has been digging hard under the foundation of the Jiang surname Qi State without interruption, but the Marquis of Qi mistakenly thinks that the Chen family is laying a solid foundation for him. Yan Ying's words before his death have long been forgotten in anger and shame.
But even the Marquis of Qi himself knew that the situation of the Qi State was not good.
For a big country, face is extremely important, and the Qi State was defeated by the Zhao clan in military affairs. In the case of Zhao Ying's return to the country, only his son Zhao Wuxian remained, and he was countered again and again in the competition for goods and colonies.
In the end, it was easy to pull back a game on the river. and lost all of them on the water.
If this battle is not won, won't it make the princes of the world lightly?
What should I do now, is to obey the anger in my heart and send troops south to attack Yuncheng? But he had only promised the soldiers who had returned from the fiasco. There will be no large-scale requisition in three years, and if the promise is broken, it will definitely lead to a violent revolt.
Or as Chan suggests. If you don't let go of your mouth on the salt ban, would you rather risk losing both sides to consume Zhao Wuxian? But in that case. Many of the goods that Qi needed and the pearls and jade that they longed for could not be imported.
Or, end the confrontation along the steps of Zhao Wuxian's "reconciliation". How will everything go back to normal?
But how could he swallow this breath!
His mind was like a mess, unable to make a choice, and the Marquis of Qi could only question the ministers in the court loudly, but there was only a silence.
In the end, he sighed sadly: "As soon as Yan Ying is gone, will there be no one to use the widow?" ”
Chen Heng was sneering proudly, while Bao Mu, Gao Zhang and the others were also looking at each other with bitter faces.
At this moment, a faint voice sounded.
"The subordinates have a ...... to discuss"
Who is it!? Qi Hou's eyes lit up, and he looked at the ministers who turned their heads, but it was a timid young man on the mat at the end of the court, no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, holding Yugui and saluting incessantly.
He is Yan Ying's son, Yan Yu, who has just finished a half-year mourning period and was appointed as a doctor and ranked in the court.
Chen Heng's eyes widened, although their Chen family was afraid of Yan Ying, but Yan Yu, how could this son who had just made the crown dare to speak in the court.
Qi Hou's eyes dimmed again, Yan Yu has not been known for his talent since he was a child, and being able to become a doctor is completely a shadow father, even Yan Ying himself jokingly imitated Shu Xiangzhi's words and said: "I don't have a good son, it is a blessing to be able to get a good death, do you still expect to get the sacrifice of future generations?" ”
"Yan's son, do you really have a plan?"
Yan Yu raised his head and said seriously: "There is nothing in the kid. ”
Everyone was dumbfounded: "Then why do you say that there is a recital?" ”
"The kid didn't, but the kid's father did."
Is this a fool? Qi Hou sighed: "Yan Pingzhong has been dead for half a year...... Didn't you just finish your filial piety? ”
"Although my father is gone, he has a suicide note left at home, and before he died, he said that when the Qi country was struggling, he asked me to present the suicide note......"
……
"Yan Pingzhong ......" After closing the silk book with a few strokes, Qi Hou sighed.
The person who knows him best in the world is Yanzi, it was in the chaotic years of the Cui Qing Rebellion, the lascivious brother Qi Zhuanggong who stole the courtier's wife was killed, and he was pushed to the throne at a young age.
The first time I saw Yan Ying, it was at the succession ceremony of Taigong Temple, in order to establish his prestige, the monarch killer Cui Shu sent troops to guard inside and outside, forcing the ministers to form an alliance with blood, and expressed allegiance to him. The slightest disobedience was executed, and seven people had already been killed, and the atmosphere was so terrifying that the pestle could only tremble helplessly, and the remaining ministers began to grovel for their lives.
When it was Yan Ying's turn, everyone held their breath and stared intently at the little doctor, who was less than six feet tall: he was no more than a dozen years tall.
However, the short Yan Ying calmly raised the bottle, and swore to the Heavenly Alliance without humility or arrogance: "I am only loyal to the lord and the country, and those who act for the tiger and help the abuse will not die well!" "Say it. Drink it all. Cui Shu was annoyed and ashamed, and viciously pressed his sword against Yan Ying's chest. Ask him to swear anew. However, Yan Ying was not afraid and replied sharply: "Cui Zhu." Have you read the Poems? The poem says: Mo Mo Ge Grass, extended in the strip, Kaidi gentleman, ask for blessing and do not return. Whether you chop my head with an axe or pierce my chest with a light lu, Yan Ying will never give in! ”
Cui Shu was furious and wanted to kill Yan Ying, but the pestle was also trembling with fright. But everyone persuaded Cui Shu and said, "Don't do it!" Jun killed Zhuang Gong because he was unreasonable. The Chinese people don't react much, if you kill the virtuous doctor Yan Ying, then it will be troublesome! Cui Shu had no choice but to grit his teeth and watch Yan Ying walk away.
Kijiu just watched Yan Zi turn around and leave, he was still not tall enough, still not outstanding, his back was still a little hunched, and when he walked out of the threshold in a plain deep coat, he turned around and smiled comfortingly at Kijiu.
The moment he opened the door. The sunlight outside clearly casts his back on the courtyard. At that moment, Yan Zi's figure stood tall like an emperor, higher than Cui Zhu and higher than the pestle. It is higher than Ding Gong and Wen Gong, and goes straight to the top of the Taimiao, and compares with the Ming Junxian of Qi such as Qi Taigong, Qi Huan Gong, Guan Yiwu and so on!
between that size. The momentum of looking at all things in the world convinced everyone.
Not out of the bottle. And the fold is thousands of miles away! This is Yan Pingzhong's life!
Even after his death, he will continue to do his best to give advice to the pestle!
"Some victories are won by swords and axes. Some victories depend on pen sharpening and silk books...... "Pestle and mortar silently read Yan Ying's teachings, and gradually calmed down, and he thought a lot.
Where are the silk books going to be sent?
Song Wei's marriage, Lu Guosanhuan's xenophobia, and the grievances between the Fan family and the Zhao family of the Jin State...... If you think about it, there's a lot to be done.
So he ordered: "Let people be recalled to return to Xia, and the widow has something important to discuss with him!" ”
……
At the same time, Siru, who was facing the head-on of the aligners, was back in the middle of his busy schedule.
Coming to Xilu with Xu Cheng, as well as the salt and copper tin transferred by Wu Guohuai, starting from Xudi, traveling northwest along Huaisi, passing through the Song Kingdom, and then entering Dayozawa from Kanzhi, where the tomb of the Nine Dukes of Lu is located, and transported to Yuncheng.
When the salt of those white flowers arrived, it caused a burst of cheers at the Yuncheng Wharf, and Ling Hubo, who was onlookers, sighed, and secretly said that Zhao Wuxian was really cunning, and he actually bought salt from Ju State, Wu State, and Wei respectively, and their Wei family's plan to specialize in Xilu salt was frustrated: the salt from Wei was only two or three hundred bells a month, but the Wu people brought five hundred bells at a time under the exchange of a large number of porcelain!
Moreover, the Chen clan began to learn from Zhao Wuxian's methods, and intermittently sent boat divisions to blockade Jianjin, which meant that the Wei salt ships had to dock at Mengjin, and those Zheng people were willing to let any caravan go, provided that enough taxes were paid.
Therefore, Wei's salt will become more and more expensive...... After Ju Guo was warned by Qi State, the doctors' actions of selling salt were much more restrained. However, in the short term, Xilu's salt is definitely enough to eat, and not only is it enough for himself, but he also makes a lot of money by trading it.
At least in the short term, Zhao Wuxian will benefit, and in the long run, no one can say
To the distress from Qufu...... For the time being, Zhao Wuxian could only give Luhou Baizhong's "tribute", and then send dozens of "bundles" to Kongqiu's Zongbo, and Sanhuan also had dozens of "gifts" each. This was done on the one hand to appease his Confucian disciples, and on the other hand, to stabilize the restless mood of the capital of Lu because of the rising price of salt.
As for other scholars and private citizens, I'm sorry, but we don't supply them for the time being.
However, it can be bought privately, of course, this resale trade is very expensive, and some scholars in the east and south of Lu are involved in Zhao Wuxian in order to buy salt, and Zhao Xiaosikou's influence began to expand out of Xilu and in all directions.
As for the people, there are not a few people who come to Xilu to ask for salt, and in these months, salt, which has even quietly replaced the shell coins of the Lu country, has become the main medium of trade, which is no different from the situation seen by Zigong in the salt-deficient state.
This reminded Zhao Wuxian that there is another commodity in the Qi State that is extremely popular in the Lu State, and he earns a lot of profits from the Lu State every year, should he also be treated equally and banned from it?
That's right, it's the currency of Qi country, Qi knife coin!
Although he said that he wanted to reconcile with the Qi State, in terms of means, Zhao Wuxian was not stingy with his ruthless hands! Wipe out the economic components in the territory that are affected by Qi State bit by bit! (To be continued.) )
