Chapter 549: Jiangnan's Affair Relieved
In this thrilling turmoil of the court, Shen Yiyi reported one letter a day, or even two or three letters to Tang Shijin.
For this reason, Tang Shijin has been staying in Jiangning Mansion, and it is appropriate and selective to give Wang Shenxing and Jiang Bi'an some letters.
When Jiang Bi'an saw the prince's biography, he felt that it hit him hard, but now when he heard these things, his face was very calm.
Tang Shijin suspected that even if she told him Yan Baiwei's identity at this time, he would not easily tell him.
But suspicion is suspicion, what should not be said, Tang Shijin still won't say a word.
The two are friends now, but they belong to the kind of friends who can hand over their backs without hesitation when they are in danger, but when they are peaceful, they will definitely dislike each other.
In March, the third, and even the fourth batch of Champa rice in some areas, also began to be planted, which was basically enough for the south of the Yangtze River to be planted.
Tang Shijin only needs to give an order, do a little promotion, help the poor, and check the omissions and fill the gaps.
It's a lot more leisurely.
Qi Yaoling walked in quickly and gave her today's letter.
Tang Shijin was lazy, so he asked him directly: "What's wrong?" ”
Qi Yaoling said: "The emperor went to see Concubine Wan in private. ”
Tang Shijin sighed, took the letter and looked at it.
For more than a month, Concubine Wan has been asking to see, but Emperor Yuansheng has never seen her.
It was not until the dust settled that the matter of the abolished prince was settled, and Concubine Wan did not ask to see her, it is said that he did not think about tea and dinner for several days, and it was only a few days, Emperor Yuansheng couldn't help it, and secretly went to see her, and then stayed for half a night, and then sneaked back.
Tang Shijin hummed: "If this is not love~~~"
She closed her eyes in thought.
She originally thought that even if Emperor Yuansheng loved Wan's again, but after so many things, that love should be almost consumed.
But obviously, Emperor Yuansheng's love for the Wan family is not just as simple as love, it is simply a kind of paranoia.
Wan's now belongs to the kind that can't fall and can't get up.
Tang Shijin was thinking, should she help her?
If she helped her at this time, she would definitely be regarded as a lifesaver by the Wan family, and she would also be grateful by Emperor Yuansheng.
But it will affect her own reputation, may offend many courtiers, and may be jealous of Wang Zhongyan.
But what if you do nothing?
I feel like I've wasted this good opportunity.
Tang Shijin finally felt that the risk was too great, sighed, and decided to wait.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Wang Shenxing standing outside waiting, Tang Shijin hurriedly got up and said, "Lord Wang is here?" ”
He said to Qi Yaoling again: "Why don't you call me?" ”
Wang Shenxing said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo doesn't have to be polite, it's the lower officials who told Lord Qi not to bother, I run here every day, so why wait for a while!" ”
As he spoke, he came in and sat down.
Tang Shijin said: "Lord Wang, is there something wrong?" ”
"Yes," Wang Shenxing took out the written fold from his sleeve: "Grandpa Guo, please take a look." ”
Tang Shijin took it.
Now not only is there new grain, but the yield and quality of silkworm seeds and silk have also been greatly improved, increasing several times.
Although on Emperor Yuansheng's birthday last year, Wang Shenxing offered silk, but because he had just offered new grain before, the two discussed that the matter of silk does not need to be "emphasized", so in Emperor Yuansheng's perception, he will think that this is a rare batch of the best and best offerings.
It can be regarded as a preventive injection for Emperor Yuansheng.
Now to offer again, it is equivalent to the kind that was previously dedicated to the emperor, and now it has been mass-produced, giving the emperor good news, and in order to honor the emperor, he has made a better offering.
Wang Shenxing obviously still wants to give the emperor the impression that the affairs of Jiangnan can be relieved.
Wang Shenxing said in a low voice: "Grandpa Guo, the lower officials are thinking, Grandpa Guo and the lower officials will go up together, and after the folds go up, the cabinet will speak and mention the matter of accompanying the capital...... Jiangnan is already good at making silk, and now there is such a good silk, plus the previous glass porcelain and other things, even if this matter is not successful, it can leave a shadow in the emperor's heart, and it will be easy to say later. ”
Tang Shijin remembered the three major weaving bureaus again.
She leaned slightly to Wang Shenxing: "Lord Wang, I have an idea, you can listen to it." ”
Wang Shenxing nodded.
Tang Shijin said: "A lot of silk is needed in the palace all year round, and although the silkworm seed I brought is good, it is also not good, the silk is thick, and the weaving is thicker, so the original silkworm seed is still indispensable...... So I thought, why don't we bring up this matter in addition to the good news, because the yield of new silkworms is about five times that of old silkworms, and silkworm merchants are of course willing to raise this kind of silkworms. Therefore, for the sake of balance and coordination, can we ask for an order to set up a weaving bureau in Jiangning Mansion, and ask the imperial court to send someone to control it, so as to achieve balance and coordination of all kinds of ......"
She paused: "Then, no matter which one mentions the matter of accompanying the capital again, it will be more logical, and we will be more substantial, and we will seem to be more uncredited." ”
Wang Shenxing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows as he listened.
Listening to it again, he muttered: "But, if the imperial court sends a member, will there be more rights and wrongs?" Restrained again? ”
"Probably." Tang Shijin said: "I'm just an idea, I haven't thought about it yet, let's discuss it again." ”
The reason why Jiangning weaving in history has the right to play secrets is because of the emperor's trust.
The earliest Jiangning weaver Cao Xi, before Emperor Kangxi was born, was a palace guard, his wife Sun, and Emperor Kangxi's nurse, and his son Cao Yin, and Kangxi's companion...... Emperor Kangxi lived in the Cao family during his five southern tours, and the relationship was too close.
Therefore, Emperor Kangxi did not trust the Jiangning Weaving Mansion, but the Cao family.
But even if you don't care about the Cao family, Jiangning weaving is still very important.
Tang Shijin said slowly: "I just think that in this way, Jiangnan is the emperor's own person, and he has always been." ”
Wang Shenxing understood in seconds, and his eyes lit up instantly.
He began to think carefully.
Tang Shijin is right, in this way, this place will become the emperor's own person...... Even if Emperor Yuansheng abdicates and changes to an emperor, it is still like this, which is equivalent to being invincible!
After all, how to say it, the taxes elsewhere go into the treasury, and the income from this place, if it can achieve what Tang Shijin said, will enter the inner government yamen.
In the most popular terms, this place is for the emperor to earn private money.
Wang Shenxing said: "Xia Guan wants to think about it. ”
"It should be," Tang Shijin nodded: "I am far inferior to Lord Wang in these matters, there must be something inconsiderate, please think about it carefully." ”
When she said this, of course Wang Shenxing didn't dare to respond, and was humble again and again, and then got up and said goodbye and left.
