Chapter 109: Kaleidoscope
Tang Shunzhi and Tang Yi sang and drank together, and talked happily. If you listen carefully, you will find something peculiar, the young Tang Yi is like an elder, talking about how to deal with the strict party, how to control the clear stream, and the emperor's temperament...... All in all, it is the officialdom that ushers in and sends, forms gangs, and deceives superiors and subordinates, and he is more skilled than many years of old officials.
What's even more strange is that Tang Shunzhi, Mr. Jing Chuan, who has unparalleled learning and character, actually listened attentively, and remembered every word.
It wasn't until the second half of the night that the two of them drank all the wine and ate all the food, and then went back to the room to sleep soundly with the support of the attendants.
Tang Shunzhi has an excellent martial arts foundation, he got up early to wash, there was a coughing sound outside, and when he looked up, it turned out to be Wei Liangfu, who walked in with a smile.
"Yixiu, I heard that you are going to follow Zhao Wenhua into Beijing, and the old man will come to see him off."
"Shangquan Gong is well-informed about the news, I really don't know anything."
Wei Liangfu sat on the Taishi's chair, threw his crutches aside, and sighed: "It was Zhao Wen who told the old man, and he wanted me to persuade you." ”
Tang Shunzhi raised his eyebrows, and said coldly: "The rebel is so bold, he dares to work on the Quangong!" ”
"He didn't say I'd come too." Wei Liangfu's old eyes were full of wisdom, he paused, and said: "Yixiu, get mixed up with Zhao Wenhua and Yan Dang, I'm afraid you ......."
Tang Shunyi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Shangquan Gong, you are too worried, these days, I have really learned a lot from Tang Yi's kid." Tang Shunzhi pointed to his chest and said, "Here you must have the idea of the common people, and you must have the skills to do things." Zhu Xi said that knowledge is easier than doing, and Yang Minggong said that knowledge and action are one. In my opinion, action is more important than knowledge! If you have a splendid mind and are not used by the court, it will not benefit the people after all. I, Tang Shunzhi, am going to do things, and I will not get involved in party disputes. ”
A few months ago, Tang Shunzhi would never have said such a thing, he must have pointed the finger at the Yan Party and the injustices in the world, and he was impassioned. The stubborn cow finally turned back, and Wei Liangfu was also relieved.
"Yi Xiu can realize this, above the court, there is no one who is your opponent. But...... Are you willing to go? ”
"What do you mean?" Tang Shunzhi asked puzzled.
Wei Liangfu narrowed his eyes and said, "You go, but no one can stop that kid." The old man lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "As far as I know, the canal ticket number has absorbed more than 30 merchants in Suzhou, a total of more than two million taels of silver, and this is only the share capital. The ticket number is subordinate to the warehouse, pawnshop, silk shop, ship operation, construction brigade, as well as hundreds of workshops and tens of thousands of craftsmen. Tsk, I'm afraid that even the magistrates can't provoke this force! ”
These days, Wei Liangfu went to the canal to take a look at the situation when he had nothing to do, and the construction was so fast that the old man was amazed. On the other hand, Tang Yi's accurate judgment made him even more convinced.
Within a few months, the Japanese invaded Zhejiang and Nanzhili frequently, and suffered heavy losses in shipping. The Grand Canal has long been overwhelmed, and the merchants of the southeast are looking forward to the stars and the moon, and looking forward to a new trade route.
Yantietang came into being at this time, four or five months, the whole line was connected, and how many businessmen and gentry heard about it, holding the silver of white flowers to buy shares.
Not to mention others, the Huating Xu family sent a special person to find Tang Yi. When people talk about seniority, they are still Xu Jie's uncle, and after seeing Tang Yi, they swore an oath, saying that Xu Ji was confused and lost for a while because of the lamp, and Shen Liang had nothing to do with it.
Xu Ji violated the family law, was severely punished with twenty sticks, rushed to the ancestral hall to reflect behind closed doors, and when he recovered, he must find Tang Gongzi to make amends......
Since Xu Jie's rise to the top, the Xu family is afraid that it is the first time to say soft words, and they are still soft to a little hairy child. But does the Xu family have a way, no!
Who let their fields all over Songjiang and Suzhou, there are grain fields, there are mulberry fields, every year just collecting rent is troublesome to death, transported from everywhere to the home, sometimes it is rainy and even a large amount of mold and deterioration, watching the white flowers and silver slip away, the Xu family is worried to death.
The Xu family can use water transportation to quickly transport grain, and they no longer have to worry about mold, and they can even set up a grain store next to the canal to sell grain and make a profit.
Westerners have a saying that when money speaks, everything else is shut up!
The same is true of the dignified Xu family, who had to give in and beg for mercy.
Tang Yi was very generous, not only regardless of his previous suspicions, he gave the Xu family a dry share of the ticket number, but also gave the shipping team a 30% share of the shares, and then bought shops along the coast with a 20% discount.
The Xu family was overjoyed, but if you think about it carefully, these things were not Tang Yi's originally, but they were just favors, so let the dignified Xu family bow their heads, what a means! Wei Liangfu couldn't help but shudder.
"Shangquan Gong, in fact, Tang Yi gave the Xu family such a big bargain to help me!"
Wei Liangfu was stunned for a while, and then came to his senses, he originally said that Tang Yi was so good at talking, and he dared to help Tang Shunzhi pave the way! With Yan Ge Lao and Xu Ge Lao escorting, Tang Shunzhi can transcend things and do things calmly.
"Alas, I don't know who this apprentice of mine is for, and he is so good to you!"
"What's the matter, Shangquan Gong is jealous?" Tang Shunzhi said politely.
"Fart, the old man has no desires for a long time, I'm worried that this kid is just a mere white ding, and his means are so clever, I really don't know what kind of evil he will become in the future!"
"Shangquan Gong, aren't you optimistic about Tang Yi's temperament?"
Wei Liangfu sighed and shook his head, "Twenty years ago, Yan Song was also famous all over the world, people are not immutable, I am afraid that the greater the power in Tang Yi's hands, his heart will also change." ”
"No, it won't!" Tang Shunzhi said categorically.
"How do you know?" Old man Wei was also-for-tat.
"Hehe, Shangquan Gong, this is a question I gave to Tang Yi yesterday, look at his problem!"
As he spoke, Tang Shunzhi took out a piece of paper from his arms and sent it to Wei Liangfu.
Wei Liangfu looked at it in a flash, only to see a line of words on it, just by looking at the handwriting, Lao Wei happily bowed his head. Tang Yi followed his father to practice calligraphy, the foundation is not weak, this time is even more eclectic, although the calligraphy is still a little immature, but over time, he will definitely be able to enter the room, enough for him to be admitted to the Jinshi.
Looking at the content again, I saw that it was written: Before the sage makes a word, he will also get the celestial phenomena!
The ancients said that the sky is round and the place is round, and the circle means the celestial phenomena, the celestial phenomena are natural, all-encompassing, all-encompassing, and the theme is lofty, and the space for play is huge.
"Okay, the old man can't be better broken!"
Tang Shunzhi smiled proudly: "Tang Yi's son has the world in mind, is knowledgeable, and is by no means an ordinary person, the career of millions of silver can't shake his mind, Shangquan Gong just rest assured!" ”
Hearing Tang Shunzhi's explanation, Wei Liangfu was slightly relieved, but suddenly frowned again, he found that the middle of this paper was so thick, and when he touched it with his hand, it turned out that there were creases, and the contents were hidden.
The old man pulled curiously, and another line of words appeared in front of him.
"Before the saint speaks, there is no cube."
It seemed similar to the previous sentence, but it fell on "Wufang", and both of them frowned.
Wufang is a circle, all words associated with a circle, such as: round, sleek, round, none of them describe a gentleman, no square is a loss of principles, it is a villain's behavior, this is exactly where the two are worried about Tang Yi.
Tang Shunzhi couldn't help gritting his teeth and said angrily: "What a stinky boy, dare to play tricks with me, see if I don't pick his skin!" ”
"Don't be busy, there's more to come!"
Wei Liangfu pulled down again, and another sentence appeared: "Before the sage spoke, he was completely Taiji." ”
Tai Chi focuses on change, although there is a taste of evolution and change, but it is inevitable to apply grease and powder, steal tricks, Tang Shunzhi does not like it.
"Pull it all away, let me see what else this kid has to do!" Tang Shunzhi snorted and said.
The paper is tiled, and there are two more problems to solve.
"There are words first, Zhong Ni Ri, Yue Ye!"
Tang Shunzhi smacked hard, "Phew, I'm here to pat myself, if I'm the examiner, I won't take it!" ”
Wei Liangfu didn't care, and said with a smile: "The old man thinks it's good." ”
Looking further down, there is another sentence: "Before the Master speaks, it is empty!" ”
After that, it's true!
Tang Shunzhi pondered silently, which can be regarded as a good problem, but it is not as good as the celestial phenomena to play calmly.
A circle, can write five good problems, there is no doubt that Tang Yi has entered the hall in the eight strands, with his ingenuity, within three or two years, he will fight his way out of the encirclement, and there is no difficulty in winning the Toad Palace.
It's just that these five different styles of solving problems are like a gorgeous kaleidoscope, unpredictable, which makes Tang Shunzhi fall into unprecedented distress, what is Tang Yi, how can he not see through it!
