Chapter 421: Can't Suffer Losses, Can't Be Fooled

Zhu Di quickly got a response from the kings.

He showed great enthusiasm for his brothers and sons to enter Beijing.

Now, since the separation, the suspicions between brothers and sons are gone.

Today, the feudal kings relied on the support of the imperial court day and night, and the emperor did not worry about the kings and his sons having different intentions.

Without this doubt, family affection prevailed.

What's more, Zhu Di is old, and when he is old, he can't help but miss his brothers who grew up together in the past, as well as his sons.

Although he was a little worried, such cooperation might not make money.

However, he was still full of interest, and the prince was personally responsible for the reception, and asked people to clean the Honglu Temple for the life of the kings after entering Beijing.

In addition, Zhang Anshi also made a note on specific matters of business cooperation.

In just over two months, Zhang Anshi drew up the detailed rules, and said that the Taiping Mansion and the commercial firm were fully prepared, and as long as the details were finalized with the kings, they could start cooperation immediately.

These days, Qixia Commercial Bank has begun to recruit manpower to prepare for future cooperation.

Even the bankers are planning to borrow money for future investments, and in order to encourage trade, they can borrow at lower interest rates for shipbuilding and other transactions necessary for trade.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

Zhu Di first handed over this recital to Wenyuan Pavilion for discussion, and Wenyuan Pavilion discussed with the six ministries.

In fact, there are not many ministers who really know how to do such things.

In their eyes, this is more like a variant of tribute.

Anyway, both horizontal and vertical are tributes, and this is a family affair of the Son of Heaven, and it is the Zhu family who colludes with it themselves, so it doesn't seem to have much to do with the people of the world.

So, for a while, I can't say why.

In the end, everyone unanimously decided to praise His Majesty Shengming.

Zhu Di could only smile bitterly in his heart.

Now there are many affairs in the world, Zhu Di and the ministers don't seem to understand much, or in other words, they understand a little, but they don't know much.

And the only person who is familiar with these affairs is Zhang Anshi.

"I'm old, I can't learn new things, I hope my children and grandchildren will understand it in the future, and Zhanji is learning ...... now."

Speaking of Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Di's eyes lit up.

This grandson is more and more expected by him, and the ordinary dragon grandson, if he teaches him to go to the bottom, I am afraid that he will already be complaining.

What Zhu Di remembers the most is that when his father, Emperor Taizu Gao, ordered his brothers to go to Fengyang to farm, and the brothers were full of complaints.

But this grandson of his is terrible, he has no complaints about this, and now this third-class official has become a first-class official, and it is rumored that he is already a deputy in a small yamen, which is equivalent to a deputy.

When the ministers heard Zhu Di's emotion, they could only laugh together.

returned to Wenyuan Pavilion, Hu Guang, as usual, went to find Yang Rong in a hurry.

Yang Rong was still looking at Zhang Anshi's charter, and he was fascinated.

"Yang Gong, Yang Gong, why is this An Shi with the vassal kings again?" Hu Guang said hurriedly.

Yang Rong raised his head, and his voice was calm: "Maybe it's ...... Prefectures and counties...... is too stubborn, only directly subordinate to one place, the only thing that can really make him show his strength is the Taiping Mansion, he is worried about doing nothing, so contact the kings. ”

"Do you want to use the vassal king as a foreign aid?" Hu Guang held his chin, and now he began to try to think about problems with a new kind of thinking.

Yang Rong shook his head and said: "If you don't know how to speculate on people's hearts, don't speculate, if you really collude with the vassal king, it may be a big crime." Zhang Anshi is as timid as a mouse, and he can't do such a thing. What does the old man mean...... His new policy is to find another way. ”

"Oh." Hu Guang suddenly realized, and then said, "You said it earlier." New Deal, New Deal, this word is very popular in Zhili now, and you can hear these two words every day, but what is this New Deal, the old man sometimes still doesn't understand, isn't this just doing business? Doing business, how can it become a new deal. ”

He looked puzzled.

Yang Rong said: "That's because you think it's easy to do business, naturally, you think it's simple." This business is the same as we are officials, where is it so easy? Isn't it trembling and walking on thin ice? It is not easier to teach you to do a good job and make profits for the country and the people than to read a few books behind closed doors. ”

Hu Guangda was ashamed and said: "I just talk nonsense, but I am so angry." ”

"Anyway, what's the matter with you?" Yang Rong looked straight at Hu Guangdao.

A touch of embarrassment flashed on Hu Guang's face, and he coughed and said: "There are indeed some things, I want to ask for advice, I think you are the most cunning, no, you are the smartest, maybe you can see through this matter." ”

Yang Rong smiled and said, "Okay, don't turn around and scold me, let's get down to business." ”

Hu Guangdao: "Recently, many of my fellow villagers have come to me to ask me about Java, saying that it is the government of the pre-Qin Dynasty, the government is harmonious, the road is not forgotten, and the door is not closed at night......

Yang Rong sat still and looked at Hu Guang without blinking.

Everyone else is numb.

But seeing that Hu Guang said very agreeably, he said: "I also heard that Corporal Zhao Wang Lixian respects scholars like gods, and everyone who is willing to go to Java is treated with courtesy, and there are ......."

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Yang Rongmu said with a grimace.

So Hu Guang said: "To put it simply, many fellow villagers want to move to Java, but after all, they are uprooted from their hometowns, and they are a little worried...... This is ...... Is it reliable? ”

Yang Rong looked at Hu Guangdao deeply: "This Java shouldn't be a paradise on earth." ”

Hu Guang tilted his head and said: "Benevolent government can be implemented, even if there are occasional flaws, there should be no harsh government." ”

Yang Rong said with a smile: "This kind of thing, you believe that it is a happy land, it is a happy land......"

Hu Guang still held his chin and said very seriously: "In fact, no matter how good a place is, where is there a hometown?" Who is willing to leave their homeland unless they have to? But in these letters, many complained, ...... They are cold-hearted, and they already feel that if they continue like this, sooner or later their families will be ruined, after all, ...... Jiangxi political envoy there...... Killed so many people before, and now everyone is afraid of them like tigers, talking about the change of color of Jinyiwei. ”

He continued faintly: "Take pity on my fellow villagers, all of whom are noisy and all the grass and trees are soldiers, lest one day when they wake up, the Jinyi Guard's driving post will arrive." ”

Yang Rong pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Hu Guang continued to himself: "In this way, it is not necessarily a bad thing that they went to Java. ”

Yang Rong said: "Maybe." ”

Hu Guang's eyes widened slightly, and he seemed to have found a soulmate and said, "Yang Gong also thinks so?" ”

Yang Rong said: "I don't think so, I just think ...... Traveling thousands of miles, reading thousands of books......"

Hu Guang raised his eyebrows, and said dissatisfiedly: "You guy, you kid who defends Zhang Anshi all day long, and now you also know how terrifying Zhang Anshi's brocade guard is, and now I ask you about it, and you can't pull down your face and say that Zhang Anshi is not good, so you use such ambiguous words to prevaricate me." Okay, I see what you mean. ”

Yang Rong hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Hu Gong, I still have a word to tell." ”

Hu Guang said with a little anger: "I don't like to hear it, you continue to protect Zhang Anshi." Ay...... Pity my fellow villagers, if you are not driven to a corner, why is this so? Fortunately, there is Xie Gong, Xie Gong should still be able to call the shots in Java, after all, he is still a scholar, and he is a native of Jiangxi, in the past, when he was in the court, he paid special attention to the nostalgia, and gave convenience to people of the same nationality. Now it is entrusted to Xie Gong, which is also a beautiful thing. ”

Yang Rong: "......"

"Why didn't Yang Gong say anything?"

Yang Rong said: "Fang is what you taught me not to say, now I have nothing to say." ”

Hu Guang's eyes showed a bit of sadness: "You love to show your wisdom in front of me, and in front of outsiders, you look cautious in your words and deeds." ”

complained and left in a hurry.

Yang Rong sat behind the case, he frowned, as if he was thinking about something, and then picked up a booklet on the case.

This pamphlet is obviously another article that Xie Jin has recently circulated.

Yang Rong looked at the booklet and smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Fortunately, I am from Fujian." ”

But having said that, Yang Rong is not too disgusted with going to sea, after all, he was born in Fujian, where there are few people in the mountains, and there has been a precedent for leaving his hometown to go to sea since ancient times.

Of course, after a lot of adventure, everyone still knows the market.

If you eat something like Java that looks so ugly, you must not be able to go, otherwise there will be no bones left.

…………

After receiving the will, Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, was surprised and delighted.

So he hurriedly boarded the mail ship at the moment, but did not go straight to the mouth of the Songjiang River, but first went to Annan, and then went to Annan to meet with Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, before they set sail together and went inland.

Zhu Gaosui is happy that he can finally go back to see his parents, maybe...... Some ordnance matters could also be finalized.

And the things that were shocking, the things that he reconciled with Jin's plans...... It doesn't seem to have been done, otherwise even if he entered Beijing, he would only be summoned to Beijing.

Thinking of his uncles and brothers, and sharing a piece of the pie with him, Zhu Gaosui couldn't sleep well.

His ambition had just taken the first step, and his leg was discounted.

Therefore, seeing Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, was both happy and couldn't help but feel melancholy.

Especially when he was on the same boat, he heard Zhu Gaoxu babbling about his art of war and several battles, Zhu Gaosui just wanted to yawn.

My brother still hasn't changed, and he still has no brains.

The only person in the world who can compare with him Zhu Gaosui is Zhang Anshi.

At the same time, at the mouth of the river, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi had arrived in Songjiang, where he was preparing to meet his uncles and brothers.

This Songjiang port is now a banner exhibition, wearing red and green, and it is very lively.

Until the ninth day of the first month of October, half a year has passed since His Majesty's decree.

The first ship to carry the vassal king has finally arrived.

When I saw the flag on the ship, it was the king of Han and the king of Zhao who arrived first.

Zhu Gaochi was overjoyed, and immediately led his subordinates to the dock to greet him.

A moment later, a eunuch disembarked first.

This eunuch is obviously the eunuch of the King of Han, Zhu Gaochi vaguely remembers him, but at this time, this eunuch is a lot older, and his complexion is much darker.

Seeing that the eunuch who was in the prime of life at the beginning was now also with gray hair on his head, and his face was full of traces of time, Zhu Gaochi was a little excited, but also couldn't help sighing.

The eunuch walked in front of Zhu Gaochi, bowed, and then said, "His Royal Highness the Prince...... Slaves...... Slave ......"

Zhu Gaochi frowned and said, "Where is Lone's brother?" ”

The eunuch kowtowed and said tremblingly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, two highnesses...... Critically ill ......"

If he was just sick, it wouldn't hurt, but it could be said that he was critically ill, Zhu Gaochi suddenly changed color, froze in place, and didn't say a word.

The subordinate officials behind him suddenly became a mess, and someone shouted: "Go and ask for a good doctor." ”

Someone pulled Zhu Gaochi, who wanted to board the ship, knelt down, and wept: "His Royal Highness the Prince's daughter's body, I don't know what kind of disease I am suffering from now, it is better not to board the ship, the son of the daughter will not sit down......"

………………

Zhu Di raised his head slightly at this time, looking at the few palace lamps hanging on the carved covered bridge.

Yisha hurriedly came over and said, "Your Majesty ......"

As if he had suddenly reacted, Zhu Di pointed to the palace lamp and said: "Add more lamps here, and add some to each hall, King Zhao suffered from eye disease when he was young, and he couldn't see clearly at night, up and down the Forbidden City, add more lamps and brighten the hall." ”

Yishu said: "The slave is really dead, and she forgot about this stubble." ”

Zhu Di was not angry, and said calmly: "He hasn't come back for many years, and it's understandable that you forgot about this." ”

Zhu Di smiled, he even looked happy, and said: "But don't panic, they landed on the shore, I'm afraid it's still early, I thought, it should be King Zhou who arrived first, King Zhao......... There is no manhood, I heard that I am going to summon him, he is alone and weak-hearted, and he must be accompanied by the king of Han. ”

Seeing that Zhu Di was in a good mood, Yisha nodded his head hurriedly and said, "How can a father in the world say this about his son." ”

Zhu Di said as a matter of course: "It's also because I am my father, so I can say this, which one of them is not coaxing them, everyone is smearing candied fruit in their mouths, just like that Zhang An Shi." ”

Yisha only smiled and did not answer.

He knows better than anyone else that if he answers today, it will be tantamount to offending King Zhao and Zhang Anshi, and he will hit a lot of people at once.

Zhu Di said at this time: "The prince's side...... Already stationed at the mouth of the river? ”

Yizha said truthfully: "It's been stationed for a long time." ”

Zhu Di nodded, and then said: "And Zhang Anshi, when they enter Beijing, and then order Zhang Anshi to go outside the capital to greet them, I have to warn this kid, people are new to the city, don't talk about business with people as soon as they meet, this deal can be negotiated at any time, as soon as this person comes, he thinks about making money, which is rude." ”

Yishu said: "The slave maid thinks that His Royal Highness the King of Wuhu County knows how to measure. ”

Zhu Di opened his mouth, he wanted to say something, but he seemed to think that it was not interesting to say this, so he shook his head and said with a smile: "Yes, I am old, and I have more nosy things. ”

He also laughed and didn't speak.

Zhu Di walked through the corridor with his hands behind his back, and said: "Later, I will still ask Zhang Qing to enter the palace to meet me, I still have some things to explain, otherwise I don't worry." ”

Yisha first gave the little eunuch on the side a look, and the eunuch understood and went in a hurry.

After more than an hour, Zhang Anshi was late.

Zhu Di was walking slowly under the corridor with his hands behind his back at this time, and said casually: "Over there in the Taiping Mansion, how are you prepared?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty rest assured, the information, specialties, minerals, and terrain of the various feudal countries have been collected by the ministers, in addition, the business house has also drawn up a huge plan, I dare not say that it is exhaustive, but it must be ......"

"That's not what I'm asking." Zhu Di glared at Zhang Anshi, and said angrily: "I told you at the beginning that they met me, and a few days later, the Taiping Mansion invited them to take a look, whether the Taiping Mansion is ready to entertain, don't disappoint people." ”

Zhang Anshi scratched his head and said, "This ...... It's just a light meal, and it should be ......."

Zhu Di stretched out his finger and nodded at Zhang Anshi: "You really lost your money." ”

Zhang Anshi looked up in surprise, looked at Zhu Di in shock, and then hurriedly lowered his head.

Zhu Di said softly, and said: "There should still be etiquette, they have come all the way to Beijing, I am the son of heaven, some things are always inconvenient, I want to teach them to be happy in the capital, I just point to you." ”

"Understood, Chen understood." Zhang Anshi swore solemnly: "The ministers, on their side, will definitely serve them comfortably." Ming'er, I will look for Qiu Song, and the things Qiu Song has made up will definitely teach your Highness to be happy for a year. ”

Zhu Di: "......"

But after thinking about it carefully, Zhu Di seemed to know something, and he acquiesced at the moment, and only said slowly: "Qiu Song, I always feel that his brain is not very good, you have to be optimistic about him." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "He is quite normal most of the time. ”

Zhu Di pursed his lips and was noncommittal.

Walking outside the Wen Building, Zhu Di was about to enter the palace.

Suddenly, a eunuch came panting, saw Zhu Di, immediately bowed his head, and then said, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......"

Zhu Di couldn't see anyone lose his temper like this, but his glance was the eunuch of the general political envoy, he pulled his face at the moment, his eyes fell elsewhere, and he said slowly: "What's the matter?" ”

"Songjiangkou Urgent...... Urgent report......" The eunuch kowtowed and said anxiously: "His Royal Highness King Han and King Zhao are critically ill in the ship at the same time...... Say yes...... It is said that he is seriously ill......"

Zhang Anshi: "......"

Zhu Di listened to it, and stood in place with a blank face, as if he didn't react to what the eunuch said for a while.

After a long while, he said in a slow voice: "What disease?" ”

It seems that his emotions are not emotional at this time, but just ...... The voice trembled slightly.

The eunuch said, "Yes...... Say it's a miasma...... This was only diagnosed by the accompanying imperial doctor, and in fact, there was no way to tell, but the eunuch on the same ship said that such a disease was common in the West. ”
