Hongyi let his firearms battalion seven-pin pen post style Zhang Suihan go first.

Xiao Xuanye actually attaches great importance to this benevolent brother, otherwise he would not have "nominated" him to be the first "sailor promotion officer" stationed in North Korea during the imperial meeting. But in the final analysis, I am only optimistic about his ability, but I don't know his personality so well. The so-called "use his strengths", also known as "the road knows the horsepower, and the people can see the hearts of the people over time", it is impossible to make a comprehensive and comprehensive evaluation of a person without various experiences.

Under this line of thought, Hongyi revealed in advance that the imperial court was going to appoint Zhang Suihan, in fact, he wanted to throw stones to ask for directions, and see how "Store Manager Zhang" would react when he knew the news, so as to confirm his vague preliminary judgment.

"Master Ji, I worked hard for you last night."

Hongyi sat there, arching his immature little hands. said it was "you", and there were only Ji Kaisheng and himself in the house.

"Lord Belle, your well-being is better than anything else! It's useless to be a lower official, so I can only give you a boost. ”

was called "adult" again, and Ji Kaisheng, who had begun to silently get used to the affectionate title of "Brother Tianzhong", was a little uncomfortable.

"You've done a lot for me, at least last night was a sleepless night, right?" Hongyi put down his hand and motioned for Ji Kaisheng, who had already stood up, to sit down again.

"We ...... The lower official is okay, but it's hard to talk about the old gentleman, who can't sleep at night when he is old. Ji Kaisheng reacted, and the master used the word "you" twice, clearly saying that he was talking about moving away.

"Oh? Mr. Tan was also frightened? ”

Hongyi was concerned, but he was secretly happy: he was finally about to hear his "shogunate" high talk. Just now, it was inconvenient to ask questions directly from others, so I had to leave Ji Kaisheng to pay a visit slowly.

"Yes, the lower officials and others think that the court situation is complicated, and there are many scheming and speculative ministers. If we can't think about the master in advance, I'm afraid that he will be passive at sunset and be subject to others in everything......"

Ji Kaisheng tried to tell the truth, but he didn't name him. While speaking, Ji Kaisheng peeked at Xiao Xuanye's reaction, and saw that the young master bowed slightly. This continued:

"Besides. Lord Belle, you are auspicious from the sky, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that your future performance is limitless. Talking about accommodation, some people are happy and some are sad. Some people are happy to see it happen. Someone is secretly involved. It's all nature. ”

"Well, Mr. Tan has worked hard." When Hongyi heard this, it was difficult to express his position. Even the nod just now was saved, and he just asked vaguely.

"Talking about the old gentleman, it is really noble! Since the last time I presented the painting, I have indeed been thinking and planning for the sake of the master all the time in the lower official's mansion. However, although he also had no sleep all night, he thought more deeply and profoundly than Kaisheng, and also persuaded me not to worry about the master, saying that you have your own natural appearance, and with your strategy and resourcefulness, you can only be calm and natural. ”

Ji Kaisheng knew that some words could be pointed, and he couldn't get to the bottom of it, so he made a report to the master about the night of the conversation and the analysis of the morning.

"Really? Haha, he saw me through. Hongyi said with great relief, but found that Ji Kaisheng was a little embarrassed, and pondered his "intentions" there.

In fact, the literal meaning of this sentence is Hongyi's thoughts, and there is really something worth digging into the subtext. has not been in officialdom for a long time, and it is reasonable for Ji Kaisheng to "fight three in one fell swoop", just don't disturb yourself. So the "master" hurriedly added:

"Talking about the old gentleman's high talent, and specializing in historiography, the so-called 'taking history as a mirror', many things, he knows at a glance. Besides, I'm not a genius from heaven, so you know me. ”

"How dare the subordinates speculate about the master's scheme? It's just that I am willing to cut through obstacles and be a pawn for the master. Ji Kaisheng saw that Xiao Xuanye didn't care, and he was also relieved in his heart, but he was still polite.

"A pawn? How dare Xuan Ye! You are all the humerus of the court and the pillars of the world! Brother Tianzhong, let's call each other brothers in the future, okay? ”

Hongyi has a natural admiration and respect for the first minister of the Qing Dynasty who was rescued by himself and saved from migration, coupled with the contact during this time, he appreciates his talent and uprightness, and the two go hand in hand, so he is ready to add icing on the cake, and the future exchanges will also avoid the polite hypocrisy of those officialdom.

"Huh? Lord Belle, how dare the lower officials climb high? "No matter how upright Ji Kaisheng is, he doesn't dare to call the prince a brother!

"Gao Pan? It's me who climbs! Do you dislike me or a baby? Hongyi blinked and asked mischievously.

"No, no, no, that's not what Xia Guan meant. Are you ......" Ji Kaisheng was a little flustered, and he didn't know how to say it properly.

"I'm the prince, aren't I? Brother Tianzhong, the royal so-called 'hanging people for the sky', this concept has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for thousands of years, and we cannot abandon it. So, what you said is true, not bad. ”

Hongyi has already learned to be obedient, so he comforted Ji Kaisheng first. Sure enough, Master Ji was relieved, thinking that this matter of being called a brother and a brother was over, and he only thanked the prince for his kindness and frequently gave gifts.

"However, Brother Tianzhong, the prince is also a human, and he is not a god after all! Since you are a human being, there will be omissions and deficiencies, if you have been worshiped like a god, there is no direct minister and friend like you around you, and one day, it will inevitably be cocooned and self-destructive. Besides, as the saying goes: 'One fence has three piles, and one hero has three gangs'. From this point of view, the direct ministers will still have some stumbling blocks in the government affairs of the court, and some words do need to be thought twice before they are spoken. But, as a friend, there is no such restriction, and between brothers, you can naturally say everything, don't you say? ”

Hongyi blurted out a lyric of the "popular" song "Shijie needs to be warm-hearted", hoping that this easy-to-understand language can have a strong resonance with Ji Kaisheng, who is good at outspokenness!

Ji Kaisheng has never heard of this so-called "common saying" in the mouth of the young master, but fortunately, the meaning is indeed very clear, and he really tastes the meaning of Xuan Ye's "naked" acceptance.

"Xiaguan...... Oh, talk about moving and going down. I am willing to saddle before and after the horse, and help Lord Belle! Ji Kaisheng replied solemnly, but cleverly avoided the small details of calling him a brother.

"Good! Even Han Gaozu said: 'In the midst of the husband's strategy, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, and I am not as good as the ovary.' Town the country, care for the people, give wages, and keep the grain, I am not as good as Xiao He. Even an army of millions, the battle will be won. Attack must be taken. I'm not as good as Han Xin. These three are all masterpieces, I can use them, so I take the world. Xiang Yu has a fan increase and can't use it. That's why I'm captured.'" That's a good point! Brother Tianzhong. We can work together. Do something for the well-being of the world! ”

Hongyi believes that at this time, the most haode, ready-made, and high-grade words are only Liu Bang's sentence.

"Kaisheng and the others dare not compare themselves to the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty. But I want to help the master and do a great career! Ji Kaisheng finally became emotional and made a statement with a vow.

Why do you say that? It is because of Liu Bang's words quoted by Hongyi. The understanding of the superficial meaning, no one will misinterpret it, that is, the so-called knowing people and making good use of them, including making good use of themselves, just as Liu Bang knows his "talents". But what really made Ji Kaisheng excited was the deep meaning behind it-

First, who is Liu Bang? Han Gaozu also! The founder of the 600-year-old foundation of the Han Dynasty! Hongyi's quote from this person may be an allusion to his future status?

First, Liu Bang compared himself with Xiang Yu, and the key to success or failure was characterized as whether he would use people. In this way, Xuan Ye compares himself with Liu Bang, does it imply that the people who are "secretly involved" in Ji Kaisheng's mouth earlier, as long as they have the help of Ji Kaisheng, Tan Qian and others, it is actually not a problem?

Hearing this, Ji Kaisheng finally understood: Xiao Ye didn't express his attitude just now, but he was actually waiting for him here, and one sentence was up to 10,000 sentences - not only did Xiao Ye have great ambitions, but they would also be key figures related to success or failure! In this way, how can he not get excited?

Seeing that his "twisting and turning" words were understood by the smart Ji Kaisheng, he would naturally transmit it to Tan Qian, who borrowed Ji Mansion, at the right time, Hongyi was very pleased, and wanted to borrow another indifferent topic to temporarily calm down the surging atmosphere that was already hidden at this time:

"Why hasn't Tang Lao Marfa come yet?"

"Master, is the minion going to urge again?" Mara's voice was heard outside the door at the right time. It seems that this personal guard is very conscientious, and has been standing in the doorway to take care of it, so he naturally knows when to speak.

"Hmm...... No, it's nothing to wait a little longer. Hongyi seemed to remember something, and a pair of thick eyebrows wrinkled involuntarily.

"Lord Belle, I just went to the Nantang with Master Mara, I guess he should be there soon...... There is one more thing to Kaisheng......"

Ji Kaisheng frowned when he saw Xuan Ye, and contacted the next wave of Tang Ruowang to come to Dong'er Institute for a secret talk, so he naturally thought that this was the young master who was issuing an "eviction order". If it were on weekdays, he would definitely leave as soon as possible, but the many entrustments of this morning's relocation have not yet been implemented, so how can he just leave?

"Oh? Brother Tianzhong, but it doesn't hurt to say it. In fact, we are not in a hurry to wait for Tang Lao Marfa for a while, you talk about yours first, and when he enters the palace in a while, we will discuss a few other things. Hongyi saw Ji Kaisheng's thoughts and said gently.

Only then did Master Ji understand that when he and Tang Ruowang were studying several other things together, he was also a participant in the Eight Classics, and a sense of pride arose in an instant.

"Lord Belle, you said that the imperial court would open up the official and commercial trade with North Korea, and the lower officials were not surprised."

"Really? Brother Tianzhong is talented! Hongyi was a little puzzled and didn't know why he mentioned it here.

"Kaisheng is stupid, and when he hears about the leakage meeting in front of the palace, he is just anxious and worried. It was in the words of the old gentleman that since the Imperial Council was held because of the Korean merchants and smugglers selling horses, and it was so detailed and delayed, it must have opened up the trade to North Korea, and it was led by the government. At this time, Ji Kaisheng really sincerely admired Tan Qian's old age and resourcefulness.

"Haha, it's amazing to talk about old man!" Hongyi nodded in praise, but waited for Ji Kaisheng's next words.

"When Xia Guan heard about this, he thought that Brother Sui Han would go to North Korea in a few days, so he said that Songzhuzhai's business, my father was willing to help." Ji Kaisheng deliberately reminded his father.

"Oh, yes, yes, yes! Brother Shicai Tianzhong said this, it was Xuan Ye's negligence. I don't know what Ling Zun is ......" After this reminder, Hongyi suddenly realized: just now he was only concerned about doing Zhang Suihan's work, and Ji Kaisheng brought his father out, and he didn't have half a sentence of praise!

"Thanks to the young master, my father's name is mediocre, but he is the former director of the Ministry of Officials." Ji Kaisheng was relieved and got up step by step according to Tan Qian's instructions.

"Oh! Disrespectful, disrespectful! I don't know where Ling Zun is working now? ”

Hongyi was still a little puzzled, and even once suspected that Ji Kaisheng, who had always been upright, wanted to engage in a little nepotism for his father? It stands to reason that if his father and this Ji Yuyong are still in the officialdom, they should also be the age of the general office, will they be promoted by surprise......

"My father no longer has an official status, and now he is just a salt merchant in his hometown......"

As soon as these words came out, Hongyi not only had no worries, but also came to the nature of 120,000 points! O salt merchant! In the era of salt and iron monopoly, being a salt merchant was very profitable! So, Hongyi's eyes widened, and Brother Kong Fang stared at Ji Kaisheng and listened carefully.

"Father's ......" Ji Kaisheng was a little uncomfortable in his eyes, and gave a detailed explanation of his father's past and present to the master.

"Oh...... Respect for righteousness! When I heard that the Ji family was willing to contribute money to the court as the principal of the business, and there was nothing else to do, just to return the principal when the court "had to be idle and have money" in the future, Hongyi only admired and did not express his position.

"Lord Belle, don't get me wrong, the whole family of Xiaguan is willing to act as a pawn for you!" Ji Kaisheng found that Xuan Ye was acting like this, and he was a little anxious.

"Brother Tianzhong misunderstood, Xuan Ye was thinking, you can't let Ling Zun and your Ji clan suffer. In this way, even if the state's livelihood capital becomes a shareholder, what if it will pay dividends according to profits in the future? Hongyi paused and said.

Speaking of this capital shareholding and dividends according to profits, Ji Kaisheng is no stranger, a few days ago in Songzhuzhai, I have heard the master describe it in detail. What he really didn't expect was that in this way, if his family's large principal was used as "capital", wouldn't he be able to make a lot of money in the future with "dividends" alone?

"Master, I'm not ......"

"Haha, the wind of a gentleman in the sky is respectable, but you can't help but eat the fireworks in the world? That's it, I'll take care of the rest, and you can arrange it with Ling Zun at that time!" Hongyi stopped the endless modesty and politeness in time, and made a decision.

In fact, he really wanted to use the Ji family's money for business and trade, but not for Zhang Suihan in North Korea, where he was better off from scratch, and could use it to comprehensively examine his abilities. The direction that Hongyi wants to use money more is the maritime trade of King Haicheng!

"Nothing will happen to Tang Lao Marfa......

In order to divert the topic, Hongyi brought up the old things again, but he felt that his words would be fulfilled, and he was a little uneasy.

Sure enough, John Tang, who has been delayed for a long time, is just as worried as Hongyi, and there is really something wrong! (To be continued......)
