Chapter 231: Seeking Money Goes South
Lu Shenyan's words amused the king, and he didn't shop in his house earlier, this Su Gongzi really wanted to come out,
Lu Shenyan continued: "You can laugh out, Su Gongzi said that when you are not in the house, breakfast is not as delicate as you were at that time, and asked when you will return to the house, I see, this son will arrive at breakfast time tomorrow." β
Wang Jian laughed when he heard this, this "Su Gongzi" is really an interesting person, "Okay, let the house prepare soup wontons tomorrow to entertain this breakfast Su"
Lu Shenyan responded, "Yes, then I will quickly ask the cook to hang the soup" He laughed a few times: "By the way, Childe, there are still people who give you gifts in the past few days, this is fresh, since the death of the first emperor and the new emperor's accession to the throne, there are very few people who come to the house to give gifts, after the accident in our Jinxiang Mansion, the door of the house is rarely opened, it is rare for someone to visit and give gifts, and there are more people who have come to visit you to give you gifts in the past two days. β
"Who gave the gifts?" When the king heard that someone was giving a gift, he was not interested in what gift he was giving, and who was the key gift-giver.
"I see that there are Liao, Tangut, Goryeo and Japanese slaves, as well as people from guilds, and by the way, there are some officials from other provinces who have come to Beijing to do business." Lu Shenyan said,
It is not surprising that people from the Western Xia of the Liao State and the Goryeo Wanu Kingdom gave gifts, and the people of the guild could give gifts large or small, after all, there was a relationship with Zhang Yi, but it was a little interesting to have officials give gifts: "Where are the officials, and whether there is Jincheng." β
Lu Shenyan nodded: "I was about to tell you about this, the new county magistrate of Jincheng came yesterday, saying that he wanted to meet you, this person is still very familiar with you, do you remember that when Yunxuan first opened, you entertained a person named Wang Yansuo." β
"Of course I remember that back then, the township ju, the provincial test, and the court pair were all the first three yuan in the company, and he and I met in Jincheng." The king was very glad to hear the name of the old man.
Lu Shenyan said: "He is now the commander of Jincheng County, and this time he came to Beijing to be urgently summoned into Beijing, and I heard that he came to you just yesterday when he arrived in the capital." β
Okay, this Wang Yansuo knows a lot about Jincheng, and he must be able to speak for Cheng Hao, so taking back Jinxiang Mansion will have more of a chance to win.
Wang Fang's speculation is not wrong, this time Wang Yansuo entered Beijing to say that it was a petition for the people, and he brought the merits of what Wang Fang did in Jincheng, Ouyang Xiu participated in the impeachment of Qin Minzhi in the court, and Li Shen, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, stated that it was difficult for the people to buy coal, and there were three envoys who submitted Qin Minzhi's empty report to Yingzong.
Yingzong scolded in his heart, this waste, let him go to check the king's side, but he made a fuss about himself, and wanted to suppress the matter, but the prime minister Zeng Gongliang and Han Qi spoke: "The saint wants to solve the financial malpractice, but he is just a mistake and the emergency use of people is careless, which leads to the accumulation of malpractices but causes trouble, Renzong's old law cannot be changed indiscriminately, please think twice, and for the corrupt people, severe punishment is also one of the good ways to eradicate the malpractice." β
This is said to have a beginning, when Song Yingzong newly ascended the throne, he wanted to reform the finances and therefore consult the ministers, but these old ministers pretended to be deaf and dumb, no one paid attention, Yingzong adopted Sima Guang's suggestion, his original intention was good, he wanted to catch a big head to punish local officials and businessmen for colluding to sell the land cheaply, but he chose the wrong person, he should not choose the king, he sent people to do things and sent the wrong one, but sent a quick success, Qin Minzhi, who forgot his righteousness,
Yingzong ate the dumbness and felt a fire in his heart, and summoned the Jincheng County Commander to ask again, how did he know that Wang Yansuo had lectured in Jincheng, and he was a teacher in the school sponsored by Wang next to Jincheng, others didn't know the situation in Jincheng, how could Wang Yansuo not know, not to mention that Wang Yansuo personally went to Jinxiang Mansion and deducted Qin Minzhi's wages from the workers, regardless of the safety of the workers, and the accidents in the mine killed and injured people, all of which were played truthfully,
The officials above the court listened, and they all scolded Qin Minzhi in their hearts, and Wang Yansuo also played, now all the coal yards in Jincheng have been suspended, and the livelihood of the people of Jincheng is difficult, and some of them have left their hometowns to make a living, and those who are still in Jincheng do not do coal mining in the mine.
How could the matter be so big, Yingzong listened to it Although it was a cold winter, he felt sweaty on his forehead when he sat on the top of the main hall, especially the first time he heard about the death of a person in coal mining, Prime Minister Zeng Gongliang saw that Yingzong's face was embarrassed, and he felt that the heat was almost over, so he asked Wang Yansuo: "Wang County Commander has also been in Jincheng for a while, but he has found out that Wang Bei and the former county commander have been guilty of bribery. β
Wang Yansuo replied truthfully: "Weichen brought an account, which is the correspondence between Wang Shilang and Cheng County Lingyin. Yingzong breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and finally got the evidence that Wang had been, but listened to Wang Yansuo continue: "These accounts are used to fund the school and sponsor local candidates to go to Beijing to catch the exam. β
Yingzong became more and more embarrassed when he heard this, and saw that Wang Yansuo submitted the accounts, which was indeed true, and he didn't know how to deal with it, Sima Guang stepped forward and said: "The saint has all the opportunities, and it is inevitable that he will be deceived by the villain's slander, I think this matter is all done by Qin Minzhi, it is better for the saint to depose the capital and make the people angry." β
is still Sima Guang considerate, and he helped Yingzong and himself find a scapegoat at once; This is the same as Yingzong offended the queen mother and finally beheaded the eunuch Wang Yaochen,
Zeng Gongliang nodded: "What Sima Hanlin said is extremely true, the saint will definitely be wise, and the saint wants to be sympathetic to the people and reuse the sages of good ministers.
This high was set up for Yingzong all of a sudden, Song Yingzong immediately issued a decree to remove Qin Minzhi from his official position, deposed and expelled from Beijing, Yingzong issued a decree to summon Wang Bian to enter the palace, no matter what, Wang Bian is also a hero, not to mention that Song Yingzong is the king of a country must always show some generosity,
These kings don't know for the time being, but he is thinking about how to make wontons at the moment.
Is it so non-trivial to make a wonton, if it is now, it is not a matter of effort to make wontons, but it is different in the Song Dynasty, because the Song Dynasty already has wontons, not only will there be wontons but also the rich family pursues winning with wonder, a bowl of wontons has dozens of different fillings, and the name is called Baiwei wonton, so the king has to do it differently.
Wang next to the order of people to use the water of blanched vegetables to live out the green noodles, and then use carrots to chop and press the juice to live out the red and yellow noodles, with these two colors of noodles respectively to make the skin, to make two-color wontons, the cook according to the Wang side method to try to make, sure enough, the wontons made are different,
Lu Shenyan came to ask the king, and said with a smile: "Last time, the prince said that the preserved egg was under the god duck, this time it depends on what the prince says." β
Wang said with a smile: "If he still comes tomorrow, we won't talk about breakfast." As he was talking, the family came to say that someone from the palace had come to the palace, and Gongzi Xuan had entered the palace to face the saint.
Wang Fang put an OK clean up towards Lu Shenyan, and said succinctly: "It's done." β
The king got up to change his clothes and entered the palace, but Lu Shenyan pondered there, compared to three, and said that it was done, what does this mean, I can't figure it out, in short, when I returned to the capital from the king's side, it seems that I have changed a person.
Yingzong saw the king, there were two prime ministers present, nothing more than to say some officialdom, the king was more disgusted with Yingzong than hate, not to mention that the moon was no longer there, he also felt that everything was gone, with his current situation, he had no intention of dealing with Yingzong, and finally returned to the topic, that is, he already knew that Jinxiang Mansion was not the king to bribe and buy the land, and it should be returned, however, when Emperor Renzong gave the land to the king, when the king was in Beijing as an official, and the land was used to raise horses, and now the king has decided to resign, whether he is willing to concentrate on the land of horse breeding,
Song Yingzong seems to be retained, but in fact, he knows that Wang Pan has no intention of officialdom, and Wang Bian does not want to get a horse to tie himself, not to mention that Wang Pan knows that the horse administration in the Song Dynasty is not completely open, Renzong is waiting for the opportunity, Renzong is gone, Yingzong Zhao Shu will definitely not let the private horse farm operate,
Jinxiang Mansion and the surrounding land, still belong to the king, the king is willing to return to the emperor to give land, in order to show the heart of the ministers, the monarch and the ministers are happy together, and even appointed the king to secretly investigate the loss of the "Wujing General Essentials" lost volume, for which the court gave the king five hundred taels of silver as funds,
Wang Bian understood that this was Zeng Gongliang's idea, and it was in line with Song Yingzong's idea, so he sent himself far away, but it was also considered to be in the right arms, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and Wang Bian was even happier to be at ease.
The matter of Jinxiang Mansion came to an end, Wang Fang was also regarded as a formal resignation, and it was dinner time to go back to the house through the Jinxiu Building, and the red light of the Jinxiu Building was hanging, and the door was like a city, and the second and third floors were also bright and bright on the street, so they knew that it must be full of friends; Entering the Jinxiu Building again, Cui Fu was grinning and greeting the guests, Xiao Er was busy running around, the hall on the first floor was also full, and there were a few chairs in the open space between the counters, and there were people sitting on the chairs, and there were people standing at the door.
When Cui Fu saw the king coming in, he hurriedly ran over and wiped his sweat and said, "Childe, look, these guests are all waiting for their seats, and they all came to eat hot pot on this cold day, I really didn't expect this hot pot to be so hot." β
"Hehe, old shopkeeper, look at your busy sweat, don't catch a cold, I'll arrange for the idle people in the house to help when I go back." Wang said as he felt that the entire lobby was extremely warm for dozens of pots to be smoked. β
"Yes, you see that the guests are here for the warmth." The old shopkeeper said with a smile,
"Do you know what it's called, we're beaming and warm~"
The old shopkeeper clapped his hands and patted his hands, learning from the king, "happy and warm" with a naΓ―ve and cute look that made the king laugh.
Wang next to leave the splendid building and return to the Meyer Mansion, now that a few things have been arranged and implemented, just send this mansion, tomorrow if Su Xiao does not come, he will stop, if he comes, the two-color wonton will get him, let him buy the Meyer Mansion happily,
These five hundred miles of gold Wang is going to be decided, because he is going to Guangnan, Wang Fang still remembers that when the master Zhang Yi persuaded himself to treat Nong Jifeng well, he also mentioned that Guangnan is rich in resources, especially gold mines, this is a priceless treasure, if you take this opportunity to go south to dig gold, it is really a high emperor far away, Yingzong wants to control him and he can't control it, not to mention that in such a place, how can Jiaozhi watch,
