said that Yan Song has no relationship with Beijing at all, in fact, it is not so absolute, there are many relationships that can be attached to the officialdom, as long as you have a heart, you can always find some origins.

Zhang Fuhua, the imperial history of Zuodu, and Yan Song have a friendship with each other, both of whom are from Jiangxi.

Therefore, when Yan Song was desperate, he also came to the door more than once to ask for a meeting, trying to climb the relationship and get some assistance from the township party. Although he was turned away every time, he never gave up this glimmer of hope, and even when the tide of words rose, he did not stop the door-to-door visit.

Zhang Fuhua will definitely not see him, Yan Song has become a disgusting figure second only to Tang Bohu in Shilin, whoever gets involved is unlucky, Master Zhang will not find himself uncomfortable.

But there is a fellow countryman here, and Lord Zhang is not good at doing things too much, so for Yan Song's visit to the door, the Zhang family is blind to him, and they are not very shy about him when they meet outsiders, after all, Lord Zhang wants to clear up the relationship, and the matter of refusing to be a fellow villager outside the door is also to be shown to others.

In fact, the most important job of the Shuji is to be familiar with political affairs, so he has a reputation for observing politics. If you have the heart, you will memorize the heroic genealogy of the DPRK and China in order to deepen your understanding of the situation between the DPRK and China.

can become a famous minister of power in future generations, Yan Song is of course a person with a heart, although he is still young, but what he lacks is experience, not his surname.

Therefore, when he was in Zhangfu's marquis, he seemed to be sincerely seeking to see him, but in fact he spent a lot of energy to distinguish the people who came to meet Zhang Fuhua and analyzed them in light of the changes in the situation between the DPRK and China.

Soon he discovered something unusual, before the tide of words began, the officials who came to visit Zhang Fuhua were all Jiangnan scholars; And the people who initially led the tide of speech were all from the imperial history of Jiangnan! Therefore, he came up with an astonishing answer: this wave of words was launched by Jiangnan Shizi!

With such speculation, he quietly followed these Jiangnan officials a few times, and found that most of these people would go to another place after visiting Zhang Fuhua, that is, Xie Mansion - Xie Qianfu, a bachelor who said that he was not sick!

This unexpected result, in addition to making Yan Song sigh at the treacherous situation of the court, also gave him a glimpse of the opportunity, that is, to take refuge in Xie Hong's name!

That's why he is doing what he is doing today.

"Oh?" Xie Hong's face was as pale as water, and he was not moved by Yan Song's somewhat pretentious questions.

On the contrary, Yan Song was a little nervous, because Xie Hong's eyes became sharper, and he suddenly felt that his scalp was a little tight, and he had not seen Xie Hong's bearing, and the impression left on him by that banquet was extremely profound. At that time, whether Xie Hong was answering questions or asking questions, he was calm and calm, and with his good appearance, he showed extraordinary bearing.

But Yan Song still didn't expect that in the face of this major event involving life and death, honor and disgrace, Xie Hong could still be so calm, which really made him admire, and he couldn't figure out how Xie Hong, a young man, had developed such a surname.

After the exclamation, his idea of taking refuge was even more firm, if Xie Hong was a master who panicked when he encountered something, then whether he could survive this catastrophe was still a question, and his future was even more insecure.

Yan Song bowed down and respectfully explained what he saw and the conclusion he had summarized: "My lord Mingjian, the following officials have a peep, this is ......"

"Xie Qian, Jiangnan Shiren?" Xie Hong's face also became solemn. I have to say that this answer is a bit unexpected to him, it is true that he has a grudge against Xie Qian, but he doesn't seem to have any special hatred with Jiangnan Shiren, and he hasn't mentioned the proposal to open the sea ban, where did such a big hatred come from?

"Xie Qian has such a high appeal in Jiangnan?" Xie Hong groaned slightly, like asking a question, more like talking to himself.

"My lord, in the opinion of my subordinates, it may not be that the Jiangnan scholars responded to Xie Qian's call, but that Xie Qian took advantage of the help of the Jiangnan scholars to push the boat down the river and take revenge on the adults." Yan Song didn't look up, but as if he saw Xie Hong's expression clearly, the title in his mouth was also a step further, from the beginning of Lord Xie and the subordinates, unconsciously became adults and subordinates.

"Push the boat down the river?" Xie Hongjian raised his eyebrows, and asked again with a smile: "Then Mr. Yan, you can tell me why the Jiangnan scholars are making such a big move?" ”

"My lord, there is a saying: The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the people of Jiangnan are this good word." Regarding Yan Song's title, although Xie Hong did not accept it, he did not object, and this question has the taste of the school examination in it, so Yan Song was also happy in his heart, and hurriedly shook his spirit and responded loudly.

"Where does the profit come from?" Xie Hong asked again.

"It's the Armory Division!" Yan Song obviously did his homework, and he replied fluently, and said eloquently: "My lord, the land south of the Yangtze River has always been prosperous, and the atmosphere is quite different from other places in the Ming Dynasty, and it is actually quite important for merchants and craftsmen......"

Yan Song said this, Xie Hong also has a lot of understanding, after the crossing, from time to time someone told him about the prosperity of Jiangnan, the most profound is those craftsmen in Xuanfu, every time they talk to people about Xie Hong's benefits, most of them are compared with the treatment of the Ordnance Division, and the legendary Jiangnan.

With his understanding of Jiangnan, Xie Hong also has information from later generations, and he knows what kind of place it is. At the height of the Age of Discovery, Europeans sent gold and silver from the Americas and Africa in exchange for silk and tea.

Most of the silk and tea are produced in Jiangnan, and the handicraft industry in Jiangnan is flourishing, which can be seen from this, which is what later generations called the germination of capitalism, capitalists and handicraftsmen who have been detached from the land, these two elements are possessed.

Therefore, in the Jiangnan area, the manifestations of discrimination against craftsmen are not the same, and in addition to oppression, there is still a glimmer of hope, in order to stimulate the subjective initiative of craftsmen and improve production efficiency.

I have to say that whether it is a scholar or a businessman, the Chinese people are all very shrewd.

The artisans bring wealth, and they are not unaware; Craftsmen with subjective initiative are more efficient, and they are just as clear. It's just that understanding is understanding, only in their own industry, they will think about how to improve efficiency and improve technology; In terms of state affairs, their attitude still maintains the consistent style of Confucianism.

There is a comparison to distinguish, at this point, Jiangnan people are successful, when the craftsmen in other parts of the Ming Dynasty mention Jiangnan, they are the same attitude as those craftsmen in Xuanfu, yearning! The local craftsmen in Jiangnan are proud and cherished, although their situation is not as good as that of scholars and ordinary people, but they are always better than the craftsmen in other places.

With contrast, people are easily satisfied.

“…… Therefore, the Armament Division of adults is a dangerous place in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of Jiangnan people, it is nothing less than a gold mountain, and it is also an inexhaustible gold mountain! Yan Song accentuated his tone, "In the past, the adults had holy dependents, and the hearts of the people in the court and China were uneven, so the people of Jiangnan could only stop fighting, but recently, the hardliners led by Liu Daxia suddenly raised their heads, and even got Liu Jian's acquiescence......"

"So, the people of Jiangnan saw the opportunity and regarded this official as fat, right?" Xie Hongsen sneered.

He didn't have much doubt about Yan Song's words, as long as he made a special inquiry about this kind of thing, he would soon find out, Yan Song came to tell this lie, it was neither necessary nor useful. The reason why there was no news before, it was not because the intelligence system was ineffective, but because there was no surname targeting, so I didn't get the corresponding information.

After fighting with the courtiers so many times, this time the reason is the most unacceptable, but on the contrary, this time the momentum is the greatest, and the threat to himself is also the greatest, Xie Hong sneered in his heart: The gentleman does not say profit, hum, when he talks about profit, the gentleman's mask must be torn off, so many high-sounding reasons, in the end, it is just two words: robbery!

"......" was shocked by the murderous aura emanating from Xie Hong's body, and at the same time, he didn't know how to interface, and Yan Song was also silent for a while.

Although after he came in, he kept reminding himself in his heart that the young man in front of him was a plague god who was famous and shocked by the Jingshi, and he must not be taken lightly, but after some conversation, the pressure in his heart was still getting bigger and bigger, and it could be compared to the time when he tried to face the saint in the temple.

"Master Yan, your intentions are known to the official, and you should have heard of the official's style, that is, there are clear rewards and punishments." Xie Hong suddenly raised his eyes and smiled, and the cold aura in his body was exhausted, "You have a meritorious report today, but you can only write it down for the time being, and you can deal with it later, can you be convinced?" ”

"My lord, Yan is really sincere here, but according to my lord's orders, there is no other word." Hearing the acceptance in Xie Hong's words, Yan Song was overjoyed, his upright body bowed down again, and the title in his mouth changed again.

"But ......" Xie Hong's words changed, and his tone turned cold: "Master Yan, the official also said the ugly words in front, although the official boat is not big, but the rules are big, you can go up or down, you say it's easy to come up today, if you regret it later, and want to go down again, the official can't tolerate it, you!" But think clearly. ”

For people like Yan Song, of course Xie Hong can't, and he doesn't dare to believe it. He can come to himself, one is that he is cornered, and the other is because of his own strength, don't look at what he says beautifully, if the situation is reversed one day, it is really hard to say what this person thinks.

But pulling it to the plate is a dish, anyway, there is a shortage of people under him, Yan Song is also a jinshi, from thousands of troops and horses, take it first and then talk about it. Of course, there should still be warnings.

"To serve the adult is to serve the emperor, there is a way to learn literature and martial arts, to serve the emperor's family, Yan is now said to serve the adult, that is, to serve the emperor, if there are two hearts in the future, is it not the crime of bullying the king? If there is such a thing, but depending on the adult's disposal, even if it is a thousand cuts, Yan will never cry out for injustice. ”

Xie Hong said harshly, but Yan Song didn't frown. He thought clearly in his heart, since he came today, Hou Shilin would definitely not be able to tolerate him, even if he really said that he would cooperate with the outside and bring down Xie Hong, this stain would not be eliminated, it was better to follow Xie Hong all the way to the black.

Of course, this is also the case where Xie Hong remains strong, if Xie Hong has other conditions, then Yan is not a puppet, and it goes without saying how to choose.

"That's good." Xie Hong bowed slightly, and instructed the scout who was waiting on the side: "Send Master Yan out, tell the brothers, and when you see Master Yan coming in the future, you will bring it directly to me, and there is no need to report it." ”

"Yes, sir." The scout and Yan Song both responded, and then turned to leave.

After sending these two people away, Xie Hong turned back to the inner study again, and asked hurriedly: "Uncle, you heard what Yan Song said just now, what does Uncle think?" Xie Qian or Jiangnan people really have the determination to do whatever it takes? ”

"Jiangnan is very profitable, and the old man has heard about it, but he never thought that they would use this as an excuse to treat state affairs as child's play." Zeng Jian let out a long sigh and said in a deep voice: "However, if you look at the atmosphere in Jiangnan, this matter is not too unbelievable, what is the matter of the Arsenal Division of the virtuous nephew, as long as you know how to do craftsmanship, you can see at a glance that what Yan Song said may not be alarmist." ”

"Since my uncle thinks so too, then ......" Xie Hong's eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "This time, I must be divided into superiors and see blood!" ”
