The monk Wugou traveled to Dousha Pass, and he is no longer the presiding master of Baiyun Temple, so he can only place orders in Baiyun Temple. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.infoβ β
When an old friend came, Yun Zheng put down his official duties as soon as possible and went to Baiyun Temple to see Wugou, but he didn't have much official business to do in Dousha Pass, only a steady stream of refugees from Jianchang Mansion added some trouble to him.
Cui Da also returned from the emperor's mausoleum in Gong County, and it took them only three months to build a luxurious cemetery.
"You don't know, there are no less than 30,000 people gathered in the mausoleum of Gongxian County, and the people who carry the stones are good craftsmen, and they don't need to be urged by the mountain envoys to work every day, everyone starts working as soon as the morning dawns, and they don't finish until sunset......
It was difficult to find the sun today, Wugou spread out a blanket in the backyard of Baiyun Temple, and lay on the blanket with Yun Zheng and listened to Cui Da foaming at the mouth and boasting about what he had seen in Gong County.
"If you want to say that this work is done, it is still necessary to be spontaneous, and you are willing to work to achieve it, the project I supervise is not less, the first time I see such work, you can imagine a mausoleum in Nuoda, one a day, when the broken dragon stone is installed, many people are still chattering and complaining, it should be the most solid quicksand tomb for His Majesty's mausoleum."
Yun Zheng said with a smile: "The mausoleums of the first emperors of the Great Song Dynasty were all built after the dragon controlled Bintian, and those people used death power. The first emperor can't see it, and it can't bring them much benefit, and now His Majesty's mausoleum is the first mausoleum that the Great Song Dynasty began to build before his death, how can those people not use their death force? Tell me, what benefits did you get? β
Cui Da smiled: "It's a philistine, it's a philistine." According to Lao Cui, to build a mausoleum for His Majesty, it is sincere to honor the monarch's father, how can you say that he is such a philistine. β
Wugou Wan'er smiled and said, "It seems that the benefits are not small." β
Cui Da said proudly: "I got a wooden plaque, nothing else, no official position, no money, really only a plaque." β
Yun Zheng filled a bean into his mouth and chewed it with a rattling sound, pointed at Cui Da and said, "I didn't want to ask what words were mentioned on the plaque, but seeing that your proud little tongue was exposed, you might as well talk about it." Who mentioned the word, what is the content. β
Cui Da laughed and said: "The words written by His Royal Highness the Prince, on the book "Loyal and Filial Family", don't say it, although His Royal Highness is young, but those words are written with a lot of momentum. β
Wugou and Yun Zheng glanced at each other. Wugou smiled: "Sure enough, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has finally begun to walk into the sight of my Great Song Dynasty."
This breakthrough is well chosen. No one has anything to say. β
"Everyone will only praise the prince Zhixiao, monk, who do you say such a technique came from?" Yun Zheng half-leaned on a pillow and looked at Wugou playfully and asked.
"Poor Your Majesty licks the calf deeply, and he does not hesitate to use his own work to add glory to his son."
Yun Zheng nodded and said, "I think so too, Your Majesty now sees himself as a mustard, as long as he can pave the way for his son." He does not account for any personal gain or loss. β
Cui Da smiled: "Aren't we struggling all our lives for the sake of future generations?" Your Majesty has nothing to blame for doing this, the Cui family was stormy a few days ago, and now with the plaque written by His Royal Highness the Prince, I want to see who can help me? β
Yun Zheng said with a smile: "The county order of the broken family, the mansion Yin who destroyed the door." After all, the prince is young, and you have said this ten years ago! β
Cui Da laughed and said: "Of course I know that I said it ten years ago, do you think that I, Cui Da Cui Mingzhe, can't even survive ten years?" β
Wugou patted his big belly and smiled: "Didn't you try your best to stay away from the harem before?" Why are you moving forward now? β
Cui Da pointed mysteriously at the sky, and then proudly grabbed a chicken leg and gnawed it.
Yun Zheng sighed, he understood, Cui Da was already completely on the side of the prince, this time it was very different from the last time when Concubine Shulan Lan enveloped Shuzhong Commercial Bank, because this time it was allowed by the emperor, or this time it was simply facilitated by the emperor.
Yun Zheng asked softly, "Who gave you the plaque?" β
Cui Da smiled: "Zou Tong! β
Yun Zheng nodded, that's right, he is now helping the emperor train the crown prince's starting team, if Cui Da helps the prince financially, then, at the beginning, the prince is in an invincible position.
Cui Da didn't know about Yun Er's trip to Liaodong, this was deliberately done by Yun Zheng, if the Yun family went to the sea to stand on their own and take Shuzhong Commercial Bank away, then they would probably be very troublesome, and the Zhao family would definitely keep an eye on their own movements on the sea.
Rather than give a foreign enemy to a domestic slave, the royal mind is like this, they can forbear and retreat to foreign enemies in every way, but they will only use the most harsh means against opponents of the same origin as themselves.
As long as Yun Zheng thought of the tens of thousands of sea ships in the Great Song Dynasty, he dispelled the idea of joining forces with Shuzhong Commercial Bank, he didn't want to take his family to Africa to catch lions......
At this time, at night, if there were really gods like God in this world, they would see above the nine heavens that the cities of the whole world were pitch black, and only the cities of the Great Song Dynasty were brightly lit and bright.
At this time, at night, the cities of the world are quiet, and only the cities of the Great Song Dynasty are crowded, singing and laughing.
Under the stars now, only the Great Song Dynasty in the world has a megacity with a population of more than one million. Also under this starry sky, the largest city in Europe, London, England, Paris, France, Venice, Florence and other cities in Italy have no more than 10,000 people.
And the Great Song Tokyo has 1.5 million people. There are six cities with a population of more than 200,000 and 46 cities with more than 100,000 people.
The city already has welfare facilities such as the Pharmacy Bureau, the Salesian Bureau, the Nursing Home, and the Leaky Garden, which are the characteristics of the city's advanced modernization. And in dark Europe, people still live under the clouds of the Inquisition.
At this time in the Americas, only a large number of bison migrated in the ancient wasteland, and the ancient Indians with feathers on their heads screamed to sneak up on the migrating bison herds to get enough food.
Africa at this time. Cannibal tribes spread throughout the primeval forests and steppes, and the Egyptians remained under the rule of the brutal Abbasids.
Yun Zheng didn't want to go to Africa to be a god for primitive people, nor did he want to wander in dark Europe, and he didn't want to bring the most cruel epidemics to the clean Maya.
Thinking of these things, Yun Zheng had no desire to speak, just looked at the white clouds like cotton wool in the sky and was stunned.
"Shuzhong Commercial Bank and Jingxi Army are one, and there is no way for us to separate them at all. No matter who leaves, there is no way to survive alone.
The Jingxi Army is the barrier of the Shuzhong Commercial Bank to block foreign enemies, and the Shuzhong Commercial Bank is a safe place for the Jingxi Army to lick its wounds.
We are destined to be one, whether we support the crown prince or not, we are brothers. β
Cui Da saw that Yun Zheng was silent, thinking that he was very dissatisfied with his own assertions, so he had to whisper what he thought in his heart.
Yun Zheng shook his head and said: "Getting close to the prince under the emperor's instruction is the right way, and it is also the most reliable way to stand in line, I am not dissatisfied, and you have actually solved my big trouble by doing this." There's nothing wrong with that.
Today's Shuzhong Commercial Bank has been so large that everyone is sideways, we harvest more wealth every year than the annual tax of the Daimyo's mansion, if you don't decisively agree to the emperor's conditions, believe me, Shuzhong Commercial Bank will soon usher in the emperor's suppression, or the emperor's punishment will be more cruel. β
Cui Da let out a long sigh of relief and said, "I'm really worried that you'll blame me for making my own decisions. β
Yun Zheng smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.
Wugou sat up from the blanket, looked at Yun Zheng and laughed, "What the Buddha said really makes sense. "Everything has a way, like a dream bubble, like electricity and dew, and should be viewed as such."
Everything is empty, I want you to support Shuzhong Commercial Bank wholeheartedly. Determined to make it the largest trading house in the Great Song Dynasty, but now he has personally loosened his grip on the Shuzhong trading house, should the old man say that you are a great wisdom or that you have done ten years of useless work? β
Yun Zheng smiled indifferently and said: "I don't believe in Buddhism, I have never believed in it, I only believe in my own judgment, and now it is indeed time to let go." It's hard to turn around when the ship is big, what the Yun family needs now is a short and concise Yun family, and only in this way can it last for a long time. β
spent a whole day in Baiyun Mountain, and it was not until the sun was about to set that Yun Zheng said goodbye to Wugou and left Baiyun Mountain to go home.
Back at home, Yun Zheng's interest was not high. Lu Qingqing wondered why her husband was always depressed this time when he saw Wugou and would go home happily.
It wasn't until after she had stripped off and gone to bed that she whispered in the tabernacle.
"Shuzhong Commercial Bank has now taken refuge in the crown prince Zhao Xu!"
"What?" Lu Qingqing was startled and sat up immediately, but she quickly quieted down, and lay down beside her husband again and whispered: "If you leave, you will leave, how much effort have you put into Shuzhong Commercial Bank over the years, and now that they are leaving, they can't live with you, it's not that you are sorry for them."
The concubine body has long wanted to persuade you to cut off contact with the Shuzhong Commercial Bank, in the early years, you led the troops to fight without the support of the commercial bank, and now, you are in a high position, and then entanglement with the Shuzhong Commercial Bank is a little wrong.
The biggest reason why you are excluded everywhere in the court is the Shuzhong Commercial Bank.
As far as the concubine knows, your military exploits again and again, whether it is the emperor, the civil and military officials, and even every common person of the Great Song Dynasty are rejoicing.
Even the most demanding officials, there is nothing to say about your performance on the battlefield, only this Shuzhong firm, since ancient times, being an official and making a fortune are contradictory, you can't be a high-ranking official on the one hand, and make a windfall on the other, such a person has never had a good end.
Holding the military power in one hand and the financial power in the other, An Lushan was nothing more than this back then! (A pie-in-the-sky event, cool phones are waiting for you!)
