Chapter 41: Powerful Kangxi

,

Mengjiao, Yinzhen heard her name for the first time, saw her dry the wine in one gulp, couldn't help but be startled, this wine is clear and mellow, the degree is not low, although the wine glass is small, there is also a dollar amount, according to her way of drinking, a few glasses will not be drunk, "You take it easy, I don't want to accompany a drunk cat here to enjoy the snow." ”

"It's okay, what is this wine, the burning knife in Kanto is called Lie." Zhang Mengjiao said nonchalantly.

Yinzhen asked curiously, "Have you been to Kanto?" ”

"That's not true, when I went to Toyo Japan, I drank burnt knives on the ship." Zhang Mengjiao said with a smile: "The sea is boring, the days are long, and drinking is the best pastime." ”

"Have you ever been to Japan?" Yinzhen even forgot to drink the wine, and everyone in this season basically didn't go out of the door, she actually went to Japan.

Zhang Mengjiao raised her head slightly, like a proud peacock, "In the two years of sixteen or seventeen, I went north to Japan with my father and south to Siam, but I am not the kind of lady you imagined." ”

"Your father isβ€”?"

"Zhang Yuanlong."

Zhang Yuanlong? That Zhang Yuanlong, who wants to build 100 sea ships? Yinzhen couldn't help but be stunned, he turned out to be Zhang Yuanlong's daughter?

Zhang Mengjiao is cautious, Yinzhen's subtle expression changes naturally can't escape her eyes, his father is a maritime tycoon in Shanghai, Yinzhen is not surprised to hear his name, shouldn't it be this kind of reaction, is he not a good impression of his father? "The Fourteenth Master seems to know my father well?"

"Hehe, that's not true. Bayi Chinese~" Yin Zhen dried the wine in one gulp, put down the wine glass and said: "A few days ago, there was a rumor in the county town of Shanghai, saying that your father was going to build a hundred sea ships, I was just a little curious, I didn't expect him to be able to cultivate such a smart and lively daughter as you." ”

"Ships won't be built." Zhang Mengjiao said faintly, "The building will fall, it's too late to protect itself, where is there still energy to expand." ”

Isn't Zhang Yuanlong's backer a Kali? Now just as the sun is rising, how can the building be tilted, has the Zhang family already seen the danger that Kali is in now? Others don't know, but Yinzhen knows very well that this Kali is greedy and domineering, and was finally overthrown by Zhang Boxing because of Kangxi's fifty-year Jiangnan Kechang case, but it is still more than a year away from now, why does the Zhang family now think that Kali is about to be unlucky?

Yinzhen glanced at Zhang Mengjiao suspiciously, "Isn't your Zhang family's backer a Kali?" Could it be someone else? ”

"That's right, it's Kary." Zhang Mengjiao sighed lightly, "Could it be that the Fourteenth Master thinks that Kali can make a difference in Liangjiang, and then rise to the top?" ”

Seeing that she kicked the ball back, Yinzhen was willing to do what she wanted, speaking of this, he was already very clear, Zhang Mengjiao came in the snow today, it must be that the Zhang family is in big trouble, and it must be related to Kali, but I don't know what it is, so that the Zhang family is not optimistic about Kali so early, the strange thing is that the Zhang family's family advocates why Yuanlong didn't come, but let a little woman come forward to find herself, is it the Zhang family's meaning or her own meaning?

Yinzhen personally poured a glass of wine for her, raised his glass with a smile and said, "Didn't we say that we would come here to drink and enjoy the snow today?" How to talk about political affairs, come, have a drink, today only talk about the wind and snow, not anything else. ”

Seeing Yinzhen change the topic, Zhang Mengjiao turned slightly, drank the wine in one sip, got up and walked to the window, looked at the snowflakes flying in the sky, and sighed lightly: "This scenery is so beautiful, but this year I can enjoy the snow in this 'natural residence', I don't know where it will drift next year?" ”

Listening to her big scenery, Yinzhen not only sighed, "Okay, don't feel sorry for yourself, tell me what's going on with this mansion about to collapse?" ”

Zhang Mengjiao sat back at the table with a smile on her face, filled Yinzhen's wine glass, and then said calmly: "Can't the fourteenth master see that the dispute between the governors of the two rivers has actually become a dispute between the Manchus and the Hans?" Although the Holy Lord did not say a word about Kali, but from Zhang Boxing as the governor of Jiangsu, Chen Pengnian temporarily acted as the political envoy to get a glimpse of the attitude of the Holy Lord, Zhang Boxing is known as a clear name, and the Holy One has many commendations and promotions, and the strength of the Holy Family is not under the Kali, and he served as the Jiangsu Inspector three years ago, and in Jiangsu, both the connections and prestige are far from being comparable to the Kali, and the Holy Lord is using Zhang Boxing to restrain the Kali.

Chen Pengnian was originally the prefect of Suzhou, and was impeached by Kali on the grounds of withholding money and grain from the river, but the Holy Lord not only did not remove him, but instead asked him to temporarily act as the political envoy, which was a real slap in the face, and the Holy Lord not only appeased the Han officials of Liangjiang through the appointment of these two officials, but also secretly warned Kali, the governor of Liangjiang. ”

Hearing this, Yinzhen was already shocked in his heart, not to mention ordinary officials, Zhang Boxing and Chen Pengnian appointed the newspaper, he had also read it, but he never thought that it contained so many meanings, Kangxi's means are clever, how can the person who may taste this meaning not be a great talent, he has always wanted to find a good master, but he didn't expect it to be in the Zhang family, he not only asked a little urgently: "Who told you all these things?" ”

The corners of Zhang Mengjiao's mouth twitched slightly, "Although the little woman is not talented, she also disdains to pick up people's teeth, in the past three months, I have lived in the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion in Jiangning, and these things are all analyzed by the little woman herself." ”

"You-?" Yin Zhen opened his mouth and looked at Zhang Mengjiao with a smug face.

"Isn't the Fourteenth Master disbelieving?"

"Ugh. It's unbelievable, if not unbelievable. Yinzhen didn't feel a little embarrassed, smiled and said, "Yinzhen punished himself with a cup, which is considered a gift." After speaking, he raised his glass and dried it up, put down the wine glass, and asked again: "Presumably, Mengjiao has been familiar with the subset of scriptures and histories since she was a child. ”

Mengjiao, you are really familiar, Zhang Mengjiao wanted to smack him, but he couldn't bear it, he felt weird in his heart, and said casually: "That's natural, it's a pity that I'm a daughter, or I have to win a champion and come back to glorify my ancestors, since I was a child, my grandfather likes to tell me how he controls the fleet, how to annex and squeeze out the story of other fleets, when I grow up, I know that my grandfather's story is not just about his fleet, but includes the classics of all large fleets from ancient times to the present." ”

"Is your grandfather still there?" Yinzhen was a little curious, this old man was definitely not an ordinary person.

"I died when I was sixteen." Zhang Mengjiao shook her head gently, "When I was a child, the one who loved me the most was my grandfather." ”

"I'm sorry." Seeing that the situation was not right, Yinzhen immediately changed the subject, "Your analysis just now can only explain the embarrassing situation of Kali, why do you conclude that the building will collapse?" ”

Zhang Mengjiao chuckled: "I said so much, it's time for the Fourteenth Master to talk about it, may I ask if the Fourteenth Master is sitting in Shanghai just to build an ocean-going fleet?" ”

"Of course, why else would I come to Shanghai?"

Zhang Mengjiao blinked her eyes slyly, "But as far as I know, the cost of one of these ocean-going warships is not less than a million, an ocean-going fleet, without thirty or forty million, I am afraid that I can't take it down to the Reading Pavilion, and the fourteenth master has so much silver?" ”
