Chapter 271: Jing Zhao's Decision
When Shen Zeyuan and others were marrying Shen Yao in Xining Road, Shen Huashan was worried in Jingzhao.
On this day, he was talking to Sun Boyang, the monk pharmacy. Of course, these words are related to the emperor's situation and the great Yongguozuo, and they must not be passed on.
"The emperor looks serious, but there is no danger of his life at present, but he also needs a long time to recuperate." Sun Boyang frowned and said, worried about the current situation.
He is the head of Emperor Changtai's close three imperial doctors, Emperor Changtai's body is sick, and his responsibility and pressure are the heaviest. Since Emperor Changtai fell ill, Sun Boyang's brows have not stretched, but there is nothing he can do. Even if he is the head of the imperial doctors, he can't compete with the power of time.
Doctors don't treat old age, this is the most helpless thing.
"Don't be melancholy. There are so many rare medicines in Shang Pharmacy, as long as they are beneficial to the emperor's health, they will use them. How long can it be delayed. The crown prince is young and needs the support of the emperor. The crown prince is in charge of the country, and it is not a common thing after all. Shen Huashan didn't know what to say.
The emperor was sick and had already ordered the crown prince to supervise the country, and also ordered himself and Zuo Liangzhe to assist the prince. This is a good thing for the Shen family, who is supporting the prince. But for some reason, he still felt that the process was too fast.
The prince is too young and has done a few foolish things, he is really afraid that something will happen during the prince's imprisonment.
As for the emperor not going to make a big trip for a while, this is what he already knew, Shen Yule had a hexagram before setting off to Xining Road, and then said to Shen Huashan according to the hexagram: "The emperor star is still hanging high, the emperor will not collapse within half a year, but it will be bleak, and the fall will not be too long, grandfather still has to be prepared." ”
Shen Huashan remembered that he listened to his grandson's words at that time, and he smiled bitterly. Preparing early? What kind of preparation should we make?
In case the emperor is a guest. What should he do? Took over the post of Wei Jingyao's Zhongshu Order and did his best to support the crown prince to ascend the throne?
It should be so, Shen Huashan once said to himself. It's just that at the moment, he looked at Sun Boyang's frowning brows. It can only be so comforting.
"I don't have anything to worry about, anyway. Do your best to do your best. It's better than you. Sun Boyang patted Shen Huashan on the shoulder instead, showing sympathy for him.
Shen Huashan is the crown prince, and now he is assisting the prince to supervise the country, which is also a great honor, so why not a great disaster? In today's situation, Shen Huashan can't make a mistake.
Everyone only knows that the scenery in high places is good, but they don't know that high places are cold.
Shen Huashan nodded. It can be regarded as responding to Sun Boyang's sympathetic gaze.
This spring and March, the scenery is the best, but at this moment, Shen Huashan felt a little cold in spring, and couldn't help but shudder: People are old. I can't stand the chill.
If you are like this, why is the emperor not like this?
Just stepped into the forty-second year of Emperor Changtai, there was a big funeral in the Dayong Emperor, Zhenyuan's wife, the eldest sister of Emperor Changtai, and the eldest princess Shuhe fell ill at the age of 76.
Shu and the eldest princess. It was a great blow to Emperor Changtai, because Emperor Changtai and Princess Shuhe had a very close relationship, and when he heard the news of Princess Shuhe's funeral, Emperor Changtai staggered a few steps on the spot, and then fell ill.
With the arrival of the spring cold and the inverted spring cold. Emperor Changtai's illness came and went, and there were not many days in a month when he could see the court.
For this reason, Emperor Changtai specially ordered: the prince is in charge of the country, in order to ensure the smooth flow of political and military affairs, the prince Zhan Shen Huashan, and the servant Zuo Liangzhe to assist the prince in handling state affairs.
In this way, the crown prince, with the assistance of Shen Huashan and Zuo Liangzhe, temporarily took over the burden of Emperor Changtai, and looked at the court every day, listened to major affairs of the court, and resolved the disputes between the court and the government; After the next dynasty, he hurriedly went to the Zichen Hall to ask Emperor Changtai for peace, reported the political affairs of the early dynasty to Emperor Changtai, and served the decoction to Emperor Changtai.
After a few days, Emperor Changtai did not get better, but the prince lost a lot of weight, all of which were hard. As a prince, if you don't boil like this, what else can you do?
Shen Huashan said earlier that the position of the crown prince is the most dangerous position in the world, as long as the prince does not ascend the throne for a day, or the prince does not die for a day, he must be so diligent and conscientious, neither outstanding nor mediocre.
During the emperor's illness, the prince in charge of the country must be able to handle political and military affairs properly, and follow the emperor's previous will and direction, and inevitably be compared with the emperor by the minister. As a result, there are more opportunities for error-prone.
Fortunately, Shen Huashan and Qiu Shengnian and other officials of the Zhan Mansion did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and carefully grasped this balance, and Zuo Liangzhe, the father of the crown princess, was accustomed to guessing the thoughts of Emperor Changtai.
"What do you think? Xiyan is eyeing the tiger, what kind of character Sima Hao is, you must remember it very well back then. You haven't missed the spy reports sent back from Xiyan over the years, and it's time to think about it. After the sweet period has passed, how will Dayong face the increasingly powerful Xiyan? What is the income of Xining Dao Mutual Market and Pharmaceutical Market in recent years, you will not know that the water is too deep. In Shen Huashan's study, Shen Huashan whispered to Jiang Chenghai, the head of the household.
The emperor's condition is still stalemate, and the prince's performance is also good, so Shen Huashan can also free up his hands to deal with Xiyan's affairs.
This first thing is naturally to communicate with Jiang Chenghai, the head of the household department, about the development and development of the Xiyan Trade Road, which is something that Shen Huashan has long wanted to say to Jiang Chenghai.
The Xiyan trade route is very related, relying only on the power of the Shen family, it is not enough to succeed, in order to achieve the expected results, it must be poured into the strength of the whole country; At the very least, it is necessary to pour out the wealth and policies of the household department, without the support of the household department, they will never be able to succeed if they are good and far away.
This is one of the things that Shen Huashan is most concerned about these days.
Jiang Chenghai and Shen Huashan have a very personal relationship, and they are married to the Xishan Yu family, so Shen Huashan did not hide it, and spread his views on the Xiyan Trade Road in front of Jiang Chenghai one by one. Otherwise, no matter how prosperous the mutual market is, it will only fatten the pockets of some officials in Xining Province.
listened to Shen Huashan's words. Jiang Chenghai changed his previous stupid smile, and his eyes became deep. On the question of the Xining Trade Road. He'd thought about it a long time ago.
In the 36th year of Changtai, the Dayong delegation sent an envoy to Xiyan, and followed the envoy to inspect the economic and commercial affairs of many prefectures and counties along the way, and it was Jiang Chenghai who personally gave Zhang Duan an order, and he thought about increasing the income of the household department through the prosperous commercial and trade activities in the Xining Road area.
Now, several years later, Xining Road is still thriving. The income and expenditure of the household department are increasingly stretched, where is the tax income gone? This is one of them;
Second, according to Shen Huashan's vision. Open up the trade route from Xining Road to Jingzhao, whether it is materials, money, or military supplies, they can be transported through this trade route, even if there is really a war in Anxi in the future, Jingzhao can also respond at the first time.
"If Xiyan invades Dayong along this trade route. Haven't we become the ones who lead the tiger? Jiang Chenghai really wants to increase the income of the household department. But he also calculated the biggest risk for the first time. Is it feasible to open up the Xining trade route?
"The 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Anxi Protectorate and the 120,000 soldiers and horses of the Xining Wei are not put on display, and there are also the soldiers and horses of the Lingnan Wei and Jiangnan Wei in the middle. If Xiyan really passed through the defense line, then even if there was no trade route. Jingzhao will also be out of insurance. ”
Shen Huashan has thought about this question a long time ago. There is also an answer to Jiang Chenghai's question.
"Let me think about it, think again." Jiang Chenghai said that the Xining trade route is very important, and he can't make a decision at once.
"Don't think about it too long. The emperor was sick and old, and his ambition was weak, so the development of the Xining trade route was not put on the agenda for a long time. The crown prince is in charge of the country, this is the best opportunity. Shen Huashan said.
This is an opportunity that must be seized. In case the emperor ascends the throne, it must be important to stabilize the situation. The move of forging ahead must not be rolled out, and he hopes that Jiang Chenghai will not delay too much time.
"I made it clear. The Shen family has already sprinkled three or two of their family wealth, together with most of the family wealth of Jiangnan Hu's Anhetang, on Xining Road. You have to make a decision as soon as possible, whether to eat meat or soup, or not even have porridge, so that our Shen family and Hu family can know. Otherwise, I'll be staring at your little money every day. Shen Huashan said with a smile again.
These words, as if this half of Thailand's family wealth is not important at all, this is a heart-to-heart for Jiang Chenghai.
Jiang Chenghai took a slight breath, what did the third and second of the Shen family's family wealth and most of the Hu family's Anhetang mean, he, the secretary of the Great Yonghu Department, naturally knew it. Coupled with the power of the Shen family's in-laws, the money thrown by the Shen family on Xining Road is the eleventh of the Dayong treasury.
"This Xining trade road has been opened, you are so confident that there will be a return?" couldn't help it, Jiang Chenghai asked a stupid question.
As soon as he said this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, laughing at himself for being a little stupid.
With Shen Huashan's calculating temperament, in addition to strongly supporting Yu Jinzhi's discussion in the country back then, there was no return for the profit, this Shen family will not do it a second time, right?
"You have to say it in advance, this matter, the household department can be tilted, but if it is inconvenient to send officials directly, it will be up to your Shen family's nephew to be an ugly person. Most of this income will go to the national treasury. You don't know how tight my life is as a book. Jiang Chenghai said with a smile, he had made up his mind.
In fact, he can't help but make this decision. As soon as Shuhe and the eldest princess died, all the money needed for the funeral rites came out of the household, and he couldn't wait to scrape a layer of oil out of the household.
Without money, how can we govern the country and prosper the country? A prosperous country and a strong people are the right way. The sages have a cloud: "The way to govern the country must first enrich the people." That's why it's ......
