For ordinary people, court battles are really far away from them. However, for the eunuch giants, the political dispute between Gao Gong and Zhao Zhenji is like a newly staged miscellaneous drama, and they can always know the root of the matter at the first time. There are long sighs of high arches, Zhao Zhenji's aggressiveness, and Emperor Longqing's contemplative choices...... It's as if everyone has seen it with their own eyes.

It is the spring of March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and it is popular to travel in the south of the Yangtze River, and people with a bit of family background like to go to the neighborhood to play. For the Gusu people, Tiger Hill is the most popular place; For Songjiang, Tianma Mountain is a popular destination. Someone invited Xu Yuanzuo to go to Tianma Mountain early on, but Xu Yuanzuo replied in a very stylish manner: I have to accompany the elderly at home these days.

Parents are only adults, and those who can be called old people must be their grandfathers. There is no old man on Xu He's side, so people who are smarter know that this old man once sat in the cabinet and was the ruler of the country.

Xu Jie, as usual, summoned a group of old people who were interested in learning and borrowing their mansions and villas in Tianma Mountain. When it comes to playing, the time spent outdoors is very limited. Several young talents are more diligent outside, comparing who is more filial piety, serving the elders in the family more intimately, and not as flamboyant as the famous cars and beautiful clothes of later generations, and it looks full of positive energy.

Xu Yuanzuo followed Xu Yuanchun, and he was naturally counted among the young generations. Xu Yuanchun has long been familiar with these routines, and he can deal with them easily, but Xu Yuanzuo is a little disappointed: There are many sons and brothers here, but unfortunately their IQs are not low, and they don't even have a chance to have fun.

Xu Yuanchun was perfunctory with them for a while, and then he was going to send a fruit plate to the flower hall. This is the work of the subordinates, but the children will rush to do it in order to compete for performance. Yuan Chun called Xu Yuanzuo and said, "It's time for the two of us to go." "The other teenagers have already been there once or twice, either to give a handkerchief or a cup of tea, and to brush their faces in front of everyone.

The elders inside also know this kind of convention in the social field, and they will also call their children and grandchildren to "reprimand". It's nothing more than that he only knows how to read on weekdays, and he doesn't know the interest of nature, so he must grow into a "villain Confucian" who can only read and become an official.

At this time, the children could only obediently review, saying that they would definitely find more opportunities to learn from the brothers.

Xu Yuanzuo found it quite interesting to watch others play this hand, but it was a little unbearable to substitute it for himself. But look at Xu Yuanchun. I also felt that if Xu Jie taught him a lesson like this, it would be very appropriate. In order to participate in this year's Autumn Festival, Xu Yuanchun really risked his life to study, and his former friends came to him just to drink tea and discuss knowledge, and completely quit going out to drink and entertain.

Xu Yuanchun brought a plate of fruit, Xu Yuanzuo brought a plate of hand towels, and the two entered the flower hall one after the other. The white-bearded old man in the room, all learning from the bohemian and uninhibited characters of the Wei and Jin dynasties, laughed. It's about someone who just said something funny.

"Shaohu Gongjia is a two-star high!" Someone suddenly raised his voice.

"Fu Lu Shou is three stars, why is there one star missing?" Someone else answered.

The man just now laughed and said, "Who told you about Fu Lu Shou?" He pointed at Xu Yuanchun and said, "I'm talking about this Wenqu star." He pointed at Xu Yuanzuo and said, "And this little God of Wealth." ”

Everyone laughed.

Xu Jie also laughed twice, looking quite comfortable, and said to the two juniors: "You don't have to come in to ask for rewards, just go and play." ”

Xu Yuanchun stepped forward and served the fruit plate, and was about to go out. Xu Yuanzuo also put down the handkerchief, bowed and retired. Before the two of them could go out, someone suddenly said: "It is said that the wealth boy can see the wealth in his left eye." The right eye can see the official, I don't know if it's true or not? ”

- What the hell?

Xu Yuanzuo was stunned. He had never heard such a bizarre statement. But Akito likes legendary stories, strange novels. Especially those who read books, they like to listen to fox girl spirits and things like that, and they have to say it as if it were true. Later, books such as "Zi Bu Silent" and "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai" became popular, and they were originally indiscriminately here.

Xu Yuanchun squeezed his eyebrows at Xu Yuanzuo, obviously quite interested.

Xu Jie smiled: "The kid is swaggering outside. Actually got such a reputation? My Zhong Ding clan is also such a stranger? ”

"Neither is it, it is not also, watching the qi and looking at the form, the art of the ancient sages is also!" The old man stroked his beard before: "The old man thinks that if people come here, there will always be some visions." ”

Xu Jie shook his head slightly and said, "Even if you can see it, what can you do?" After all, things in the world are not something that can be seen to avoid evil. ”

The crowd had a conversation. They all discussed and expressed their opinions, which made Xu Yuanzuo want to walk away, and he was quite embarrassed to stand.

Xu Yuanchun whispered on the side: "It seems that you have to show your hand to deter them today." ”

Xu Yuanzuo replied in a low voice: "I'm afraid it's inappropriate." ”

Obviously, Xu Yuanchun understood the process better, and sure enough, the old scholars soon asked Xu Yuanzuo to show his hand. What can Xu Yuanzuo say? This is completely taken out by the old man to be a monkey.

"I don't believe in that kind of qi observation technique." Xu Yuanzuo said with a grin.

Sure enough, the old people discussed it again, and finally criticized Xu Yuanzuo for being too young and speaking too absolutely, what is there in the world? You want to say that there is a white crow, although no one has seen it, but it can be said that it has not been found; But if you want to say that it definitely doesn't, what if it flies out and punches you in the face one day?

Xu Yuanzuo waited for them to finish discussing, and said secretly: This spirit is not bad, and the debate is quite brain-training, at least it will not get Alzheimer's disease.

"At least I don't have the skills." Xu Yuanzuo took a step back.

This time, there wasn't much discussion, and no one raised the bar. The owner says he doesn't, who can insist that he does?

"Everyone is so legendary, it's just because I look at things and people more carefully. It's just that he has learned the skills of the eldest father, and he is not elegant. Xu Yuanzuo said with a smile.

"If you learn a little fur, how can you be less supervised? If you can learn eighty percent, you can also enter the cabinet and become a country. Someone praised Xu Jie.

Xu Jie just stroked his beard and smiled.

"Since you said that you can see it accurately, then tell me, is Zhao or Gao the winner of the political battle this time?"

Xu Yuanzuo's face was embarrassed: "The old gentleman is too difficult to be a kid, the kid can't see so far." ”

"It's not his blessing to comment on Zaisuke." Xu Jie also excused Xu Yuanzuo and said, "Let's talk about it later." ”

The man just now probably found himself Meng Lang, and said, "Since people call you a good wealth boy, and ask you: What other profitable business does Songjiang have?" ”

Xu Yuanzuo grinned: "This is simple. My Songjiang is full of gold and silver. It's just to see if someone will pick it up. ”

No one lacks money, but only a place to spend it.

Since the beginning of Jiajing, silver has flowed into Daming in large quantities, and Western merchants have come to Daming to sell but cannot sell, so they can only buy goods. The frenzied trade surplus forced the Spanish king to ban the flow of silver out of the country. Silver produced in New Spain (South America) was forced to be shipped back to mainland Europe. Even so, however, the Philippine Overseer himself was a smuggler who violated the King's laws, smuggling silver into Asia every year to buy Ming goods.

Only a small part of this silver went into circulation, and the vast majority went into silver cellars.

"The easiest business is to buy a loom, hire a weaver, and open a weaving mill." Xu Yuanzuo said. In the history books, Songjiang in the Wanli period is described as the sound of looms in every household, and Suzhou is lined with weaving mills in half of the city. However, this time now. Far from the scale it was twenty years later, it was a good time to get in.

All the old students nodded in agreement, but said that they had bothered too much.

Xu Yuanzuo didn't know what to worry about running a weaving workshop, so he had to continue: "Otherwise, it is to invest in sea trade." A large sea ship costs tens of thousands of taels or even 20,000 taels of silver to prepare all the goods, and it is a good way to get ten times the profit when you go out and come back. ”

"It's too risky." Everyone shook their heads: "If it drifts, it will be bloodless." ”

The word "risk" is a slang term invented by the Ming people because of the sea trade. It's a pity that they accepted the "risk". But the risk is not acceptable.

――I feel annoyed when I open a factory, and I don't feel safe about my investment......

"Why don't you put the money in my cupboard?" How about regular dividends? Xu Yuanzuo said with a smile.

Everyone laughed and scolded Xu Yuanzuo for being "cunning" and doing business here.

Xu Yuanzuo is not joking. Although he said "continue to lend" one moment and declared that he would reduce his loans, he was a businessman after all, and all kinds of smoke bombs could not hide the essence of seeking profit. If the loan can be profitable. Why not? What's more, these old rich men have no place to use money, but he has it.

Finally got out of it, Xu Yuanchun didn't have time to joke about Xu Yuanzuo, and a group of powerful children had already surrounded him. These people were very conscious, and the students came closer to talk. Non-living people are watching from the periphery, and people naturally have another circle and will not come up to have fun.

"Brother Zuo, I heard that your cloth shop is quite tight this year."

Xu Yuanzuo glanced at him more, and he didn't say anything about the problem of "silver root". But the man didn't realize it, and said, "Little brother, I have some savings, and it's useless to hold them in my hands, so I can just put them on the cabinet." ”

Xu Yuanzuo said: "My family doesn't lend much money this year, not because there is no silver. He said, "The point is that silver has other uses." ”

"What's the use?" Everyone inquired.

Even the lifting circle in the distance couldn't help but look over. Speaking of which, studying is to glorify the lintel, which is not contradictory to making money. Besides, if you just know that you won't make money by studying, what if you get into the Jinshi? It's better to be a squire.

"My family wants to weave more cloth this year, so that it can be sold in the north and south." Xu Yuanzuo said half-truths and half-truths.

The crowd was a little puzzled: "How much silver can you use?" The cotton is all grown by home, so do you have to buy it aggressively? ”

"Not only do you have to buy it, but I am afraid you have to buy it in Shandong." Xu Yuanzuo said.

Everyone took a breath: "How much cloth are you going to weave?" ”

"I'm going to build another weaving mill." Xu Yuanzuo leaked the secret "ignorantly": "At least there must be three thousand looms." ”

Everyone couldn't calculate how much cotton was needed by the increase of 3,000 looms, but they felt that the number of thousands was terrible, and they believed Xu Yuanzuo's words. Thinking about it again, since the Xu family wants to spin cotton to the end, they will either build a weaving workshop or a variety of cotton.

Because cotton does not have high requirements for water resources, especially staggered with the water demand season of rice, it is an important cash crop in addition to crops in the south of the Yangtze River. However, no matter how high its economic efficiency is, it is impossible to turn fertile land into farmland, because on the one hand, it may not grow well, and on the other hand, there is a sense of crisis among the people about their survival -- at least they must grow enough rations.

"Weaving so much cloth, will it not be sold?" Someone worried.

"How is that possible? Beyond Kyushu, there is Kyushu, and the barbarians are still covering their shame with leaves. Gold and silver are nothing but rubble to them, and you say that cloth can be sold? Xu Yuanzuo said nonsense in a serious manner.

Some people on the spot didn't believe it, but Xu Yuanzuo has never been afraid of people when it comes to saliva. Anyway, you can't get a camera, it's just a legend about the costumes of the Wako and the Red Maoyi.

Xu Yuanchun knew that Xu Yuanzuo began to tease others with nonsense, and he was happy to watch the excitement from the sidelines.

After a while, Xu Yuanzuo diverted the topic and sent the other Junjie away.

Xu Yuanzuo came back and said to Xu Yuanchun: "Why do I think that from the inside out, everyone is very excited? He pointed to the flower hall, and then to the young people outside, and glanced at the reserved lifters.

Xu Yuanchun saw that there was no one left and right, and said, "I'm afraid it's Gao Gong who is leaving." ”

Xu Yuanzuo stopped talking.

On the day that Zhao Zhenji challenged Gao Gong, someone wrote back to Jiangnan and told him about the changes in the court. This news went through a special channel, and it was completely delivered by a special person, and it was delivered to Xu Jie's hands non-stop. After Xu Jie knew about it, he naturally wouldn't keep it a secret from his family, so Xu Yuanzuo also knew that the letter he concocted generated great energy.

According to the original historical script, Gao Gong easily forced Zhao Zhenji away, but at this moment, Zhao Zhenji launched a counterattack, and the advantage was obvious. The Jiangnan civil rebellion has become an unequivocal tone in the mouths of Beijing officials, although Li Shaoxian, the superintendent of the imperial history, said that he was a "bandit", but no one was willing to listen.

"Zhao Zhenji is your master." Xu Yuanchun quipped.

"My master?" Xu Yuanzuo was a little puzzled: "Is it Teacher Zheng's teacher?" ”

"He is a disciple of Xinzhai Gong, isn't he your master in Taizhou." Xu Yuanchun said with a smile.

Xu Yuanzuo smiled bitterly, no wonder Wang Xuemen was so excited!

Whether it is Gao Gong or Zhang Juzheng, they have no background in psychology. Not only do they dislike the study of mind, but they also do not like the science of science, but they are the most realistic political figures. No school of thought can hinder them from exercising their power; No matter what school of thought, as long as it is beneficial to power, it can be used without scruples.

From the perspective of the general trend of history, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng did create an era of politicians, when Guo Zaifu no longer has political beliefs, and only takes self-realization as the highest goal.
