Chapter 32: The Prince's Recital

Just after the end of the New Year, Sima Shu was like a wind-wound clockwork, and during the Spring Festival, both glass products and greenhouse vegetables made a lot of money. Among them, the greenhouse vegetables earned a total of nearly 50,000 yuan, not only earned back the capital, but also made a net income of 30,000 yuan.

Seeing such a large amount of money, Manager Liu couldn't believe that it was true, because when Sima Shu first arrived in Xincheng a few years ago, there was not so much money in his body. However, this was only the beginning, and when the subordinates who had gone to a distance to be in charge of selling glass products returned, Mr. Liu was completely numb.

These glass products are more profitable than vegetables, and the cost is low, the cost of a glass wine glass is only a dozen yuan, but the market is as high as 30 yuan. Therefore, just relying on the output of the glass factory for one month, it brought Sima Shu an income of 500,000 yuan.

With so much money, Sima Shu finally stopped worrying about the big development plan after the year. As soon as this year was over, Sima Shu gathered all his subordinates and held a mobilization meeting.

"A few years ago, the palace wrote a letter to Lord Zhang Huazhang in the service, and at the same time sent a letter to the imperial court, the main content of which is to count the various shortcomings of my Great Jin, and at the same time the palace also proposed some solutions. In order to test the appropriateness of Lone's proposal, Hongu intends to carry out reforms in the new city. If these measures can effectively remove the shortcomings of the existing policies of the imperial court, the imperial court is ready to let the imperial court aim to implement the new policy nationwide! ”

"This, this, will the imperial court agree? You must know that His Highness is ......," Jiang Tong asked with a frown.

"Hehe, don't worry, the queen will definitely agree!"

Sima Shu has a strong confidence in this, although Jia Hou doesn't know the goods, but Jia Mi is not just a gentleman, he still has some goods in his stomach, and he still has his own staff.

As long as Jia Mi took a serious look, he knew that this reform letter on Sima Shu was tantamount to offending all the families. With Jia Mi's cleverness, he would not fail to see the huge opportunities contained here.

Without the support of the family, can Sima Shu still be so happy? Therefore, Jia Mi will definitely approve Sima Shu's request, so that Sima Shu will be on the opposite side of all families, isn't this exactly what Jia Hou has always wanted?

In fact, the whole process was similar to what Sima Shu thought, and when Jia Hou received Sima Shu's recital, her first reaction was to refute it. But out of prudence, she still summoned her nephew Jia Mi into the palace to discuss, and sure enough, Jia Mi took a closer look at the content of the fold and was overjoyed.

Jia Mi said to Empress Jia like this: "Queen, this is a family that the prince has taken the initiative to cut himself off from the whole world!" Niangniang, please think about it carefully, as long as the content of this letter is leaked, it will definitely attract the opposition of the whole world, and we only need to direct their anger to the prince, and then we don't need to do it herself, just those big families can tear Sima Shu's kid to pieces. ”

After listening to her nephew's words, Empress Jia's eyes lit up and she finally made up her mind. At the next court meeting, at the beginning, Jia Hou couldn't wait to pass the prince's recital to the ministers.

In the recital, he stated to the palace the serious problems of land annexation, especially the bankruptcy of a large number of small and medium-sized landlords, which led to a sharp reduction in the tax source of the imperial court. The prince's concern for the country is really admirable, and in order to reform the malpractices, the prince is willing to implement a new policy in the new city and explore experience for the court to solve problems. ”

"If you have any opinions, let's discuss them!"

Sure enough, as Jia Mi expected, when the ministers saw Sima Shu's recital, they were immediately furious, especially those officials of the family, who had their hair open and foamed at the mouth. If Sima Shu stood here at this time, he would definitely be drowned by their spit.

Zhang Hua, who had known it for a long time, didn't expect everyone to have such a big reaction, and the entire court immediately made a fuss like boiling water, and it was unanimously opposed by almost everyone.

However, Zhang Hua quite agreed with the prince's proposition, and after explaining through the prince's letter, he was even more willing to stand on the side of the prince. With Zhang Hua's wisdom, how could he not know the current issue of land annexation, but the whole world belongs to the family, and it is not something that can be changed by his small servant at all.

At the beginning, he pinned his hopes for changing the status quo on Emperor Wu, but who knew that Emperor Wu's ears were soft, and under the foolery of Jia Chong and others, the policies formulated by the imperial court were just mere formalities, and they were not seriously implemented at all. At present, the prince is interested in solving the land problem, and Zhang Hua has to choose to support it.

Seeing that all the ministers strongly opposed the prince's new policy, Jia Hou's heart blossomed. The more the courtiers objected, the more they strengthened Empress Jia's determination to support the crown prince.

She had already discussed with her nephew Jia Mi that this time, no matter who objected, she would appoint the crown prince as the head of the new policy and be responsible for implementing the new policy in Xincheng. At the same time, in order to show her support for the crown prince, Empress Jia was even ready to transfer Jia Mao back to the capital.

Therefore, above the court, all the ministers saw that Empress Jia uncharacteristically expressed support for the prince's proposition, and the ministers who reacted quickly saw a hint of conspiracy from it. Zhang Hua and Pei Wei were worried, Empress Jia was obviously roasting the prince on the stove!

Although Zhang Hua also supports the prince's new policy, he can't understand what the prince thinks. Why did you throw out such a twist and turn when your foothold was not stable, so that those families who originally supported the prince should not hate Sima Shu to death?

However, thinking about the letter that the prince gave him, he still chose to support the prince. It's a pity that despite the strong support of Empress Jia, in the end, the imperial court did not approve the prince's recital, but temporarily reached an agreement to discuss it at the court meeting on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month after the Chinese New Year.

Although Empress Jia was eager to pass through Chaoyi forcefully, considering the consequences, she decided to delay it for a while.

Sima Shu's recital suddenly made him a thorn in the side of the whole world's families, and those families who originally supported the prince were even more hateful, and they supported the prince because they were ready to let Sima Shu protect the interests of the family. Who knew that Sima Shu had wolf ambitions in his heart, and he was digging the grave of the family.

Langya Wang family from Taiyuan Wang, the two families in the Jin Dynasty have a huge influence, since knowing the content of the prince's new policy, Taiyuan Wang, Langya Wang held an emergency family meeting.

On the Luoyang Wang Yan Mansion, there are Wang Cong, the head of the Taiyuan Wang family, Wang Yan, the head of the Langya Wang family, and Wang Yan and Wang Dun, the leaders of the younger generation.

"What is the purpose of the prince's this? He didn't know that this twist and turn was tantamount to offending all the families, and without our support, would he still be able to ascend to the throne of God in the future? Wang Cong asked with a frown.

"Brother, no matter what the crown prince has planned, we can't let him implement a new policy in the new city, otherwise it will definitely shake the dominance of the world family." Wang Yan was the first to speak, he was Wang Dun's uncle, and since he learned the content of the new policy, he had expressed strong opposition.

"This is also what I am wondering about, knowing that this will offend the whole world, the prince will still insist on going his own way, don't you think there is a problem?"

Wang Cong's brain hurt when he thought about it, and he didn't understand the true purpose of the prince. In fact, how did he know that Sima Shu was not the original simple prince for a long time, and for the fate of Huaxia, Sima Shu had to take risks and choose a road full of thrills. If you follow a serious path, just parrying the yin tricks from Empress Jia is enough for Sima Shu to stand it, let alone accumulate strength.

"Brother, we don't need to worry too much, the opposition above the court today is unprecedented. The new policy advocated by the prince may not be passed! Wang Yan said confidently.

"Uncle is too optimistic, I'm afraid that Empress Jia will insist on going his own way!" After listening to Wang Yan's words, Wang Dun, who had been silent, suddenly retorted.

"Oh? What is the opinion of the middle of the court? Tell me about it! Wang Yan attaches great importance to his nephew, and thinks that he must be the one who will magnify the Langya Wang family in the future.

"Yes, uncle! In the past, other families were afraid that the Jia family would be dominant, so they secretly supported the prince, so that Empress Jia's plot to abolish the prince could never be realized. But now? The nephew dared to guarantee that Empress Jia would give his full support to the prince through that piece of work, and let the prince preside over the new city policy. Because in this way, the prince offended all the families, and Empress Jia successfully realized the intention of separating the relationship between the prince and the family, without the support of the family, Empress Jia wanted to abolish the prince in the future, and it was not a matter of words! ”

"My brother is right, and I think so too. The more fiercely we oppose it, the more Empress Jia will do whatever it takes to pass the prince's recital. It's just that in this way, I'm afraid the world will be chaotic! Director Wang, who was standing next to Wang Dun, also expressed the same opinion.

"It has nothing to do with us whether the world is chaotic or not, the most important thing is how our Wang family can win the greatest benefits in the next troubled times!" Wang Cong said fiercely, "Chu Zhong, if you have any ideas, you might as well say them all, since Sima Shu doesn't want to be the agent of the family, then we will choose another one!" ”

"Yes, uncle! We can imagine that in the end, Empress Jia will definitely be desperate to let the prince take charge of the new city policy. In this way, families like our Wang family who support the crown prince must be dissatisfied. Since we can't stop it, we might as well sabotage them. ”

"I heard that there are also wealthy families in Xincheng, first of all, we can contact each other, give them a little benefit, let them find some trouble with the prince, as long as the prince realizes that he can't do anything without the support of the family, I believe that the prince himself will give up the new deal without us coming forward." Of course, just in case, we need to plan something else! Speaking of this, Wang Dun turned his head to look at his cousin Wang Dao and asked, "Brother Mao Hongxian heard that you are very close to King Langya?" ”

"I've had some friendships!" Director Wang is not as sharp as Wang Dun, but he is also a rare talent, and after hearing his brother's question, he quickly stood up and answered.

"Hehe, this is my second move, if the prince still insists on going his own way and not listening to advice, how can we families be easy to mess with? We can secretly incite the princes and kings to rebel, and as long as the world is in turmoil, our royal family will be able to fish in troubled waters. ”

Wang Cong was silent after listening to Wang Dun's words, Taiyuan Wang's is a little different from Langya's Wang's. The Langya Wang clan occupies the right time, place and people, and once the world is in turmoil, they can cooperate with the Langya King to realize the intention of separating Jiangdong in the shortest possible time, but the Taiyuan Wang clan still has some concerns.

"I'll think about this matter again, and in addition, the new city must step up its infiltration!"
