Chapter 221: The World's Way and People's Hearts (4)
At that time, the situation is stronger than people, and it will be almost impossible to turn the situation around. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The eunuch who delivered the decree here came to Xie Shen's mansion, and Xie Shen naturally rushed to the courtyard in a panic to receive the order.
To be honest, this is the first time he has knelt down since coming to the Ming Dynasty, and he is very uncomfortable.
But when I thought that kneeling was to receive the order, my heart was a little more balanced.
After receiving the holy decree, the eunuch said quietly: "Your Majesty also has an edict to bring to you, asking you to write a separate note on the essence of planting cotton in the tidal flats and ask our family to take it back to the palace. ”
Xie Shen listened to it, what kind of thing is this, the son of the big tomorrow is going to compete with him for the patent of sea flat cotton?
Alas, the hearts of the world!
The great image of Hongzhi Tianzi in Xie Shen's heart collapsed, and the young man's heart was dripping blood!
Xie Shen wants to shout, Xie Shen wants to complain......
But to whom to complain? This time, he asked for the cotton planting technology of the sea flat, but it was the most noble man in the whole world, could it be that Xie Shen could still run to the capital to cry to the Son of Heaven in a fit of anger? Or is it a bargain with the Son of Heaven in the song?
Although the Son of Heaven is the King of Shengming, he is also a king.
The monarch is unpredictable, and the monarch is also unpredictable.
Emperor Hongzhi didn't know what Xie Shen thought in his heart, so he didn't want to make a blind attempt.
No wonder Emperor Hongzhi made such a resolute decision, it turned out that he had this in mind......
The eunuch saw that Xie Shen was silent by default, so he coughed and said, "What, Xie Xiaoxiang is in trouble?" ”
Xie Shen shook his head again and again and said, "There is no difficulty, absolutely no difficulty." Xiaosheng will write this. ”
Xie Shen reluctantly returned to the study and drove Song Shu out, and after confirming that his words were correct, he handed it over to the eunuch who passed the decree very painfully.
The bully is going to lose his head, Xie Shen doesn't want to challenge the bottom line of Hongzhi, the benevolent monarch, so let's do it.
"Our family has to go elsewhere to deliver the decree, and Xie Xiaoxianggong doesn't have to send it."
The eunuch pushed his hand to signal that Xie Shen didn't have to follow anymore, and swaggered away.
Xie Shen realized that Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi also had merit, so the eunuch should have gone to the two people's mansion to upload the decree.
I wonder how the two of them will feel when they hear the decree?
Xie Shen put the decree away and enshrined it on the incense table, thinking about his next plan.
Once the technology of growing cotton in the tidal flats was popularized, Xie Shen's cotton cultivation in Yuyao had no advantage.
According to Xie Shen's judgment, whenever it is a money-making business, the imperial court will intervene more.
For example, the setting up of salt transporters, such as the establishment of the Weaving Bureau.
The so-called competition with the people for profit has reached such a point.
Although it is only being promoted along the beach in the southeast at present, Xie Shen believes that in time, the imperial court will definitely set up corresponding institutions to oversee cotton planting and picking and other affairs.
So why not make this suggestion before the decision was made?
As the head of his tidal flat cotton plant, he may also get a half-official position.
Since the progress of things was no longer under Xie Shen's control, all Xie Shen could do was try to make it develop in his favor.
Fortunately, not long after the eunuch who delivered the decree left, Xie Shen hurriedly ran to his friend Wang Shouwen's house.
Sure enough, at this moment, the eunuch had just finished reading the holy decree, and when he saw Xie Shen rushing over, he was quite surprised and asked, "Why is Xie Xiaoxianggong here?" ”
Xie Shen smiled and said, "There was an omission in the recital written by Fang Cai Xiaosheng, so I came to make up for it." ”
The eunuch rolled his eyes and nearly fainted. This Xie Shen seems to be a young man, how could he make a mistake in writing such a thing.
He had passed the holy decree so many times, but he had never seen a minister like Xie Shen.
Well, but Xie Shen doesn't seem to be an official, so it's understandable.
There are extenuating circumstances, but it is not possible to arbitrarily alter the recital of the Son of Heaven. The stakes were very high, and he couldn't stop Xie Shen from adding content, so he had to say: "You might as well Xie Xiaoxianggong write a new copy and hand it over to our family." ”
Xie Shen nodded again and again: "That's very good!" ”
Xie Shen went to Wang Shouwen's study to ask for pen and ink, and wrote a new note.
In this note, Xie Shen bluntly talked about the difficulties of cotton cultivation and suggested that the Son of Heaven should establish a yamen directly under the imperial court similar to the Weaving Bureau.
Among them, the huge benefits Hongzhi Tianzi knew at a glance, and he was bound to appreciate Xie Shen.
After this incident, Xie Shen's impression in the mind of Emperor Hongzhi will also be upgraded from a prodigy to a Confucian student who can be focused on cultivating.
Therefore, even if Xie Shen did not get the benefits from this letter, he would leave a place in the mind of the Son of Heaven, which was not too much of a loss.
Xie Shen solemnly handed the song to the eunuch, and the stone hanging in his heart fell to the ground.
Alas, the companion of the capital is like a tiger, and he only had a deal with the Son of Heaven once, and he understood the deep meaning of this sentence.
The Son of Heaven is the Ninety-Five, sitting in the north and facing the south to rule the arch, where his mind is something that ordinary people can guess.
It is the lack of security and uncertainty that makes the courtiers feel that the monarchy is unpredictable.
Alas, the imperial examination is still a little pediatric compared to being an official.
When you enter the officialdom in the future and serve the Son of Heaven, it will be a storm that cannot be avoided, and a gun and arrow that cannot be avoided.
The eunuch who passed the decree walked away after passing the decree, looking at the rolling yellow dust raised by the horse's hooves, Xie Shen smiled bitterly: "Brother Shouwen, people are not as good as heaven." ”
Wang Shouwen also looked helpless: "What is destined by God, Brother Shenxian should not care too much." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, but they were ready to ask Xie Pi to have a drink together to drown their sorrows.
......
......
The gossip is not mentioned, but it is said that after the eunuch who passed the decree returned to Beijing, he brought Xie Shen's written note back to the palace and presented it to the Son of Heaven.
The monarch talked until late at night, and in the end still did not come to a conclusion.
Emperor Hongzhi meant to set up an organization similar to the Weaving Bureau to oversee cotton cultivation in the southeast, but Xu Pu, the first assistant, and Liu Jian, the second assistant, strongly opposed it.
In the end, Emperor Hongzhi had to make a foolish decision to discuss it at the right time.
Mingjun is not so easy to be, he must know how to accept advice and have the courage to be arbitrary, and it is particularly important to grasp the proportions.
If the first assistant of the current cabinet is still Liu Ji, an old minister left by the former emperor Chenghuaye, then Emperor Hongzhi will not have any hesitation, but now the cabinet is full of capable ministers, and when there is a difference of opinion between the monarch and the minister, Emperor Hongzhi is not too arbitrary, so he has to choose the time to discuss again.
It is difficult to be a Ming monarch, and it is even more difficult to be a Ming monarch surrounded by loyal ministers.
However, for the sake of the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongzhi did not mind making some small sacrifices.
In life, there are nine times out of ten unsatisfactory things, and this cannot be changed even if you are as noble as the Son of Heaven.
