384, Ming Xiu plank road, secretly crossing Chen Cang
"It's stupid, it's not like a real way of doing things. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Cai You waved his hand, sent away the steward who came to report, and then said with a smile.
This steward was specially sent to Kaocheng County to find out the whole story. After listening to it, he brought it to Cai Jing and reported the matter to Cai Jing.
Even if he has a grudge against his father's preference for his brother, Cai You has no plans to completely turn his face with Cai Jing at this time. Cai Jing has too much political legacy, and if he can successfully receive it from Cai Jing, it will be of great help to him.
Therefore, he is still working hard, and the current direction of his efforts is to show his vision and ability by criticizing Zhou Quan's inconsiderate actions.
Its essence is to hope that Cai Jing can stand on Zhao Ji's side.
"It's not really like a way to do things, it's more like a ...... Hmm, it's a cover-up. Cai Jing pondered for a long time and said slowly.
Cai You was stunned for a moment.
However, this kind of method is in line with Zhou Quan's usual style, simple and rude, and whoever opposes it will directly eliminate the opponents...... Boss, do you think it will be after the battle of the Imperial City Division, Zhou Quan is a little too proud? ”
"Why?"
"You see, before he dared to enter Beijing alone, and even met His Majesty, if His Majesty's mind changed slightly, he would have already passed on the four sides at this time. Looking at him again, he had already forced Zhu Mian to lose his official position and send him to Hainan, but he didn't stop and directly committed suicide...... I always feel that he has done these two things so rampantly that even if the official family doesn't say it, he must remember it in his heart! ”
"Hahahaha...... This is the difference between you and Zhou Quan, it is a large amount of things, which can be done by ordinary people. Cai Jing smiled first, and then explained: "Entering Beijing alone and meeting His Majesty to relieve his doubts, first, Zhou Quan is bold, and second, he is absolutely sure, what Your Majesty never forgets is always to cut Liao, to cut Liao, Zhou Quan is His Majesty's money bag, how can he be willing to throw it away now?" The bird is hiding the good bow, and now the bird is far from being finished, and the good bow has no objection, and he personally entered Beijing to give His Majesty a step down, so considerate, how can Your Majesty not return the favor? ”
Cai You listened to his father's detailed explanation, but he became more and more dissatisfied in his heart: from Cai Jing's mouth, he heard that his father did not have much respect for the official family.
In the past, although Cai Jing was power-grabbing, at least on the surface, he still had great respect for Zhao Ji, but now, he is clearly ridiculing Zhao Ji for wanting to "hide all the birds", which is a mean and unkind lord!
"Why isn't he afraid of me telling the officials?" Cai You glanced at Cai Xuan, who was listening, and secretly had this idea in his heart.
"As for letting Zhu Mian commit suicide, Zhou Quan may not have made his own decisions, it is very likely that he made a deal with the official family...... By the way, didn't Xing'er say that when the Beijing-Xu Railway General Chamber of Commerce subscribed, there were more than 2 million shares, and its holders kept secrets, and this was it. ”
"What?"
Zhou Quan sent people to pretend to be Manichaeans, copied Zhu Mian's house, and copied the floating wealth from it. He dedicated this floating wealth to the official family, as the share capital of the General Chamber of Commerce, which must have Zhu Mian in the offering of flowers and stone gang many crimes, although the official family favored Zhu Mian, but the most hated by the ministers to take advantage of him, Zhu Mian borrowed the flower stone gang to loot the southeast, the official family can pretend not to know, but if the official family also gave the people the reward money to embezzlement, how can the official family not be angry? So Zhu Mian's death is really the intention of the official family, you think Zhou Quan is getting carried away, but in fact it is just just a coincidence! ”
This conclusion is again saying that Zhao Ji is greedy for money and forgetful, Cai You can't listen to it anymore, he feels that his family's wealth comes entirely from Zhao Ji, even if they are selfish, they have to stand on Zhao Ji's side.
"Speak carefully......, sir," he began.
"Only you, my father and son, even the servants have been sent away, so why care too much, can it be...... Do you still want to go to the official's side and report the conversation between our father and son to the official's family? Cai Jing glanced at him with a smile.
Cai You bowed his head in horror.
"However, this incident, he raised a big prison, except for arousing public anger, it did not do the railway matter at all......"
"It's still beneficial, at least those villagers don't dare to beat people at will, it's ridiculous to say, the railway hasn't been repaired yet, and others just pass by his door to see, and they will be beaten and robbed, and they will be accused of stealing armor and plotting misdeeds, which is also a living obedience. Zhou Quan is repairing the plank road in the Ming Dynasty and secretly crossing Chen Cang, but where is the Chen Cang he chose...... Alas, after all, he is too old to keep up with the ideas of young people. ”
Cai Jing seems to have a blind trust in Zhou Quan, and in Cai You's opinion, Cai Jing thinks that it is a Ming plank road to secretly cross Chen Cang. Cai You disagrees with this, if it is said that the economy makes money, Cai You admires Zhou Quan's skills, but when it comes to political disputes, Zhou Quan is far behind, even if it is the dispute between the Imperial City Division last time, it is actually not his son Cai Jing who is behind the troubles?
Like Cai Jing, there are not many people who can see that Zhou Quan is secretly crossing Chen Cang on the plank road, and most people think that after a long period of smooth sailing, Zhou Quan's actions have finally revealed flaws.
This time, everyone knows that Zhou Quan framed him, even if Zhou Quan uses his strength, there will always be people who are not afraid to come out and support Cai Jiesheng, who is not angry in the city. And even if Cai Jiesheng raided his house and destroyed his house because of this, it would not make much sense to build the railway, but would arouse greater resentment among the villagers.
Therefore, after a short silence and observing the direction of the wind, various newspapers and magazines began to attack this matter. These newspapers are smart, they don't talk about Zhou Quan and the railway, but just avenge Cai Jiesheng, in addition to the tabloids such as Henan Business Daily, which stood on Cai Jiesheng's side from the beginning, there is also an influential newspaper that also came forward to defend it.
"Xijing Chronicle"!
This newspaper, which is based in Luoyang, can sell about 15,000 to 18,000 copies per issue by virtue of various connections between literati and Confucian scholars, and unlike other newspapers, most of which are curious and strange talks, its content is relatively rigorous, and many of them are articles reminiscing about the style of their predecessors by the descendants of those literary sects in Xijing, so it has a great impact on readers.
In terms of its influence in the Great Song Dynasty, it may be second only to the "Donghai Business Daily".
After it joined, the "Donghai Business Daily", which had been silent on the matter, also joined it, and the two sides attacked and debated each other, which was also wonderful.
Just when the public opinion in this newspaper was full of excitement, the second year of the great political peace came.
However, this Chonghe second year is destined to be a short-lived era name, because someone found that this era name has been used by Liaoguo. This made Zhao Ji, who was originally complacent about this name, very awkward, so changing the year name was put on the agenda.
This year, the Lantern Festival has just passed, and Xiaohekouzhuang suddenly has more outsiders.
Since the conflict over the railway, Xiaohekouzhuang has been particularly sensitive to outsiders, but they are not afraid to harass them.
These are Taoist priests.
At this time, Zhao Ji respected the Tao, and the government even sealed the Taoist officials, and even more, Zhao Ji used the words of the Taoist priest to order to change the title of Buddhism, and changed the Bodhisattva to a monk, and ordered the revision of Buddhist scriptures, among which all those who slandered Confucianism and Taoism were deleted. So the Taoist priest was respected, and the villagers were convinced.
These Taoist priests came to Xiaohekou Village, stayed in the land temple outside the village, and did not harass the people, and after staying for a few days, the people became familiar with their existence.
"Single, single!"
In the corner of Xiaohekou Village, the local Baozheng accompanied two Taoist priests who were knocking on the door of a house. The family was very poor, with only a dilapidated mud house, and although it was neatly kept, it had almost no long-term property.
Xiaohekou Zhuang Cai surname is the majority, the single surname is a small surname, there are only two families, relying on tenant servants to make a living, and their own family only has a few vegetable plots. There was a knock at the door, and there was an echo from inside, and a woman, dressed in rags, appeared at the door.
The woman's face was full of sorrow, with deep wrinkles and rough skin, and she was slightly stunned when she looked at Baozheng and the Taoist: "What is the matter with Baozheng coming here, now is not the time to urge taxes, right?" ”
Bao Zheng crossed his waist: "Don't say that you have no conscience, your family is like this, when is it not my grace to pay taxes...... Today's visit is a happy event! ”
The single family pouted, Bao is the Cai family, every time he urges grain and taxes, he is the most harsh on their foreign surnames, and the so-called grace only stops at talking. However, the other party said that there was a happy event, which made the Shan family extra vigilant: "Why is there any joy?" ”
"The Gao Shi here wants to build a temple in our place, and wants to get the support of the surrounding villagers, and I heard that your man is sick, and he is willing to come to treat your man...... Don't want money, even the medicine is administered by them, do you think it's a good thing? ”
When the Shan family heard this, they were first happy, and then they were suspicious: "I only heard that the monks and monks begged for fasting, but I never heard that they still did good deeds......
"It's different, anyway, you get out of the way and let Coats go in and take a look at your man!"
The woman of the single family was skeptical, but at last she still had a glimmer of hope, so she gave way to the door, and when several Taoists entered, they saw a withered man lying on a bed, and there was a timid boy beside the bed, which was missing a foot, and was made of stones.
The Taoist sighed: "Mercy and mercy, Taiyi saves the suffering Tianzun......"
As soon as he spoke, the woman of the Shan family felt that her mood suddenly calmed down, and the dark and depressing room seemed to be much lighter and brighter.
Does this person really have the ability?
With a hint of luck, the woman of the single family bowed down to the Taoist and said, "Please also ask Gao Shi to save my husband!" ”
The Taoist stretched out his hand to help, but he guarded the internal and external precautions, and did not have physical contact with her: "Please get up, please get up, my Taoist is based on compassion, and since we meet, we must stretch out our hand...... And let the poor road be seen for the patient. ”
What kind of patient is nothing more than a broken leg last time, and the single family has no money and cannot be treated, so the bones have not grown well.
The single family is weak in Xiaohekou Zhuangzi, the man in charge is named Shan Bao, the last time I heard the gong in Cai Xiucai's house, they relied on the tenant of the entire Cai clan farmland for a living, and also counted on Cai Jiesheng to speak well for him, to be able to tenant ten acres of land, so he was very positive at that time, and he was one of the people who was broken foot!
