The crown princess Zhang said, but looked at Zhang Anshi with a smile.

She said slowly: "These four children, in the future, will come to the Wa Kingdom, but they still have to take care of it, you have a lot of ideas, your mind is lively, they haven't seen it after all, they always need someone to help." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "What Sister Fang Cai said is very reasonable, people can be smart, but many smart people often go astray. Because he saw the darkness of the human heart, he also became eager to report it. Because of this, a truly intelligent person must always introspect himself, lest he become a narrow-minded person, who must see through it, but also be able to deal with it calmly. ”

Zhang Anshi paused, but said: "Now that Sister is teaching me to take care of them, I can't do this, not because I will repay it, but since the other party refuses to admit this feeling, how can I be thankless?" When His Majesty taught me to take care of these four children, I also knew in my heart, knowing that whether it was Zhu Zhanjun or Zhu Zhanyong, after all, they were both brothers-in-law's children, and those who could help with one hand naturally had to help, and even because I had no blood relationship with Zhu Zhanjun, I should do my best. After all, he is not his own nephew, but he has to contribute more. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed before continuing: "But now it's different, now that he has opened this mouth, then I can't blame me for only caring about my own nephew now." If I have thoughts, I will only focus on Zhu Zhanyong and Zhu Zhanrong, the two nephews who are connected by blood, and I can't take care of the rest, and I don't have the ability to take care of it. ”

Zhang listened, but he was not annoyed, but said with a smile: "You, you, you are so old, and you still have a child's temper." So...... I persuaded His Royal Highness the Prince, this time they will be vassal, these two brothers Zhu Zhanjun, let's give them more rewards from the East Palace. They don't have your backing, so ...... Let their fathers give them more things, so that they may not suffer from the sins and sufferings of the kingdom. ”

Zhang Anshi knew his sister's temperament in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "Sister, we can't be so kind-hearted. ”

Zhang said: "This has nothing to do with kindness! Sometimes, people, it doesn't matter what happens to you, but what happens to others. I'll do what a concubine should do, and the rest will be laughed and scolded by others! You can't be afraid of the well rope everywhere because you were bitten by a snake, and you will scare yourself by yourself. ”

"In this life, even if you suffer a loss this time, after a long time, the world's spectators will naturally know who you are, and the benefits brought by this are not only a hundred times and a thousand times the small losses you eat."

Speaking of this, Zhang deliberately paused, took a sip of tea, and then said: "It's like those royal relatives from ancient times, those who are not right-minded, take advantage of everything, every time, they can benefit, but this benefit is obtained, gained, but in the end, suddenly they were defeated cleanly, why?" It's nothing more than such a person, he can't afford to lose. A crooked and heretical man, he can win a hundred times, but he can't afford to lose once. ”

Zhang Anshi listened to his sister's bitter words, his scalp was numb, and he was afraid that his sister would continue to talk endlessly, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, everything is up to my sister." Sister, I'll go back and prepare, and I need to make some preparations to send Zhu Zhanyong to them tomorrow. ”

At this time, let's slip away, lest a trip to the East Palace be spent on these words.

Zhang also knew that his younger brother was impatient to listen to these words, so he sighed: "Hey...... How can it be so good, the children will all grow up. ”

Zhang Anshi saw that his sister was starting to be sad again, so he said: "In my opinion, Zhan Yong ...... It's still small. ”

Zhang felt that he was still full of sadness just now, but he broke up with Zhang Anshi at once, and gave Zhang Anshi a blank look and said, "I'm not talking about them, it's you." ”

"Ah...... This ......" Zhang Anshi said in surprise: "Sister only now knows that I have grown up?" ”

Zhang sighed for a while, but he didn't say anything to Zhang Anshi anymore.

Zhang Anshi was not as heartless as before, and comforted his sister again before leaving.

The next day, Zhang Anshi selected hundreds of people, and this time he went with Zhu Zhanyong and Zhu Zhanrong.

That Zhu Zhanjun seems to have a lot of subordinate officials around him, one of them, Zhang Anshi still knows, but a talent, who has served as a prefect, has a good political performance, and is now also studying the new policy, he is a very talented person.

And this person is the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, who seems to have listened to Zhang's words and specially asked His Majesty, Zhu Di made a decree to transfer this person to the head of King Zheng's mansion.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanjun at this time was so proud.

On the contrary, Zhu Zhanyong and Zhu Zhanrong also have a long history, but their reputation is not obvious.

Thinking of his father again, he actually went to the emperor in person to invite him, and arranged such a person for his second brother, on the other hand, he was really discouraged, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

When they saw Zhang Anshi coming with a mighty crowd, the two brothers' eyes couldn't help but light up, and the corners of their lips were smiling.

Even if my father doesn't make decisions for himself, he still has a good uncle.

saw Zhang Anshi walking over, and smiled at the two: "I didn't expect you to be still laughing, I really have no conscience, if it were me, I would have to cry, go this time...... I don't know how many people remember you in the capital. ”

Zhu Zhanyong pointed curiously to the people in the distance: "Uncle, what is this?" ”

"Oh." Zhang Anshi pointed to the people in the distance: "The one at the head, surnamed Sheng, called Sheng Chen, is a shopkeeper carefully selected by my uncle for you, this person is amazing, he was previously in Qixia Commercial Bank, responsible for the operation of mines in Wuhu and other counties, and is very experienced, as for the others, craftsmen and clerks are the majority...... Uncle won't introduce them one by one, you remember, I gave an order to this Sheng shopkeeper, and in the future, in the affairs of this feudal country, except for the military and politics, you two boys have to listen to him. If you refuse to listen, Uncle will get the news and immediately rush to Fusang to clean you up. ”

When Zhu Zhanyong and the others heard this, they couldn't help but be disappointed.

They also thought that their uncle would recommend some talents to them!

You know, their uncle is also a university scholar, and he was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he once created a model battalion! It can be said that his protégé and former official can be said to be full of talents, and casually leaking a little talent from between his fingernails is enough for the two of them.

Who knows, only one shopkeeper was recommended, and there were some craftsmen and scribes.

I felt that the hope in my heart had fallen all at once.

Zhang Anshi's mood was obviously different, and when he said this, he even suddenly became a little emotional.

Although his favorite nephew is still Zhu Zhanji, he also points to his beloved Zhanji for the rest of his life.

But these two nephews, after all, are also their own flesh and blood relatives, how to say, they also grew up by themselves, and they have feelings. At this time, I couldn't help but feel a little moist in my eyes, took a deep breath, and said: "When you arrive in Fusang, you must be steady, especially pay attention, don't indulge in women!" To be like my uncle, I want to work weekdays. You have a lot of knowledge, but it is far from enough, listen to the advice of those around you, and don't act recklessly! If there is anything, send a letter, and discuss it with my uncle. ”

The two of them are not people without conscience, hearing this, their eyes were slightly red, and they couldn't care about their uncle's stinginess, so they both nodded with chickens.

Zhang Anshi sniffed, and then said: "One day, Uncle will come to see you, go, go......"

Although he taught them to leave quickly, he was not at ease, and he told the two of them a thousand things.

Only then did he turn around, call Na Sheng Chen to his side, and did not forget to instruct seriously: "Have you remembered all the things you explained?" ”

Since the age of fourteen, Sheng Chen first worked as a miner, and then taught himself, and gradually emerged in the Qixia trading house.

Even because he taught himself some literacy and arithmetic, he also served as a bookkeeper for a period of time, after which, he seemed to be unwilling, but he was admitted to the mining school, and since then, he has been the treasurer of the mines and smelting under the Qixia Commercial Bank.

This time Zhang Anshi taught him to go, he also had some doubts, after all, although he was not famous, but here in Zhili, he can be regarded as a fish in water, with a generous salary, and his status in Qixia Commercial Bank is not low.

But Zhang Anshi personally invited him to the palace, called him sir, and then respectfully asked him to help with this, when it came to this, His Royal Highness King Song had been thoughtful for several weeks to such a point, if he didn't think about it, it would be really not polite.

Although His Royal Highness King Song did not promise any future, Sheng Chen also knew that His Royal Highness King Song might have some controversy in other aspects, but he had always taken good care of his own people.

It's just that...... After all, it is to go to sea, and this alone is not enough to make people directly willing to leave home.

What really makes Sheng Chen excited is ...... Zhang Anshi's several Fusang huge mines, if they are really according to the instructions of His Royal Highness the King of Song, then these few places alone can be said to be the world's largest rich mines in history, and such rich mines, once explored and mined, are enough to go down in history.

Sheng Chen is also a layman, he has dealt with metallurgy and mining all his life, and he doesn't know how many mines he has taken care of.

But after all, this Central Plains has experienced many prosperous and vicissitudes, but it is also known that there are a number of gold and silver mines in the world, in fact, people have already discovered and mined before, even if there are some unknown rich mines, it must be difficult to mine, high cost of the place, do business, pay attention to the cost and income, there is no big profit, naturally, there is no motivation.

Now, he wanted to give it a try, perhaps...... He can really leave a name in the pen of this thousand years of history.

At that moment, Sheng Chen couldn't help but show a little sincerity and said: "Your Highness, rest assured, this is the most important thing in the world for students, so naturally I dare not forget His Highness's advice." ”

Zhang Anshi continued to advise: "These huge mines are all in the fiefdom of those two boys, so ...... You take people with peace of mind, exploration, mining and smelting, when you get there, although you are not the long history of the palace, but you are by no means under the long history of these two palaces, but everything that involves smelting, minerals, transportation and transshipment, etc., do not say that it is the long history of the palace, even those two boys, can not interfere with you! ”

After a pause, he continued: "As for the funds needed in the early stage, as well as the name of our new trading house, and the manpower required, these will not be worried, I have ordered someone to send an urgent report to Xinzhou, and several ships of materials and machinery tools have been prepared over there to supply them at any time." In addition, there is also the construction of the wharf, and we, a new commercial house, also have to worry about it. ”

Sheng Chen said: "Your Highness, rest assured, the students will never disappoint Your Highness." ”

Zhang Anshi nodded and sighed: "It's good to live and use your life, this king will take care of the affairs of the family." ”

Sheng Chen responded one by one and thanked him again.

…………

On the other side, I saw King Song's big car coming from a distance, and he left immediately.

In the public opinion, Li Zhaoxun of the East Palace can be described as a mixed taste.

She was a beautiful woman who paid tribute to the Korean state, and was immediately rewarded by Zhu Di to the East Palace.

Originally, she was just a palace lady, who knows, but she was lucky to become a concubine.

Of course, it is too much to say that it is a concubine, in terms of it, she is not even a concubine, she is fortunate to give birth to several children for the prince.

In this East Palace, she naturally knew that it was impossible for her to compare with the crown princess Zhang.

can be rational and rational, sometimes when I see Zhang's style, and the brother next to Zhang's side calling for wind and rain, goodbye Zhu Zhanji, who has been favored by all kinds, I still can't help but feel jealous.

Countless times, she imagined in her heart that she was the concubine Zhang, and Zhu Zhanjun was the eldest grandson, immersed in it, I really didn't know how beautiful it should be.

But once she returned to reality, she seemed to be pulled to hell all of a sudden.

People's jealousy sometimes always has no reason, the more this jealousy is hidden in the heart, dare not confide, can not vent, over time, the more it accumulates.

At this time, seeing that Zhang Anshi's big car was far away, he didn't come to say hello, and he was relieved, but inexplicably, a little depressed.

She is reluctant to face Zhang Anshi because the other party's identity is more noble, and in terms of it, she may still need to smile at Zhang Anshi.

But Zhang Anshi is a junior after all, and she can't help but be a little annoyed when she doesn't come to see her.

Thinking that he was going to go to Fusang with his son, everything he managed in the East Palace would disappear, and he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

So, he pulled Zhu Zhanjun's two children to his side, and through the bead curtain of the ride, she grabbed Zhu Zhanjun's hand, and said with a little poignant: "Son, you must fight for me, even if you are not as good as your eldest brother, but you are not worse than your other brothers, you are studious and motivated on weekdays, and you are also very steady, which I am very pleased." Therefore, no matter what, it can't even be compared to those two prodigals. ”

Although Zhu Zhanjun was through the bead curtain, he couldn't see his mother's current expression clearly.

But from this slightly cold hand, I can perceive my mother's state of mind.

He calmed down and said with relief: "Mother rest assured, within three years, my son will teach the world to know, so that my mother can rest her life with ease. ”

Li withdrew her hand, she didn't continue to speak, it seemed that Zhu Zhanjun's answer satisfied her.

Zhu Zhanjun said: "This time the mother...... It was kind, I specially invited my father to arrange a long history for me, and the property that the East Palace gave to King Zheng's Mansion this time was the most, and my mother ......"

Li Shi was in Chengyu, but he seemed extraordinarily calm, and only said lightly: "This is just the most ordinary trick to invite people's hearts, you are not young, can't you even see this?" She wants to be a virtuous concubine, and she wants to teach the world to know her goodness, and to please your emperor and your father. These carving insect skills, Wu'er should mention the spirit of 120,000 points, don't be bought by these small favors. ”

Zhu Zhanjun listened, thoughtfully, and said: "What Mother said is, if you think about it carefully, it's like we are poor people who have received alms, but it is her mother...... Teach people to praise each other, and the son will remember the mother's words......"

Li Shi in the public opinion listened and seemed satisfied, she subconsciously twisted the jade Buddha beads in her hand, as if she was praying for something, but she seemed to remember something, and said softly: "Let's drive away, it's good to leave here early, in the past 20 years, for the sake of your mother, here, I don't know how many grievances I have suffered......"

Zhu Zhanjun said: "Yes, my son will inform ...... here."

…………

The four imperial grandsons are in the domain, and as far as the capital is concerned, it is also a big matter.

After all, those who used to be overseas were either the sons of Emperor Taizu Gao, or the kings of Zhao and Han who were born by His Majesty the current emperor.

These people, without exception, are not simple characters, and before going to sea, none of them are simple.

Even the younger generation of King Han and King Zhao were all outstanding figures in the Battle of Jingjing, and the worst King Zhao also guarded Beiping and held 100,000 elite soldiers.

But for the people of the world, when it comes to the emperors and grandsons of King Zheng and other generations, it is different, they have been raised in the deep palace, they have hardly experienced other affairs, they are young and young, in the old saying called 'raised in the hands of women in the deep palace', such people, whether they can gain a foothold overseas, but it is also worrying.

In particular, many maritime merchants in the Wa Kingdom had already tasted the sweetness of the new policies of the Wa Kingdom, although it was interrupted by the rebellion.

But now, the rebellion has been quelled, and the court has canonized the vassal king, but it is not known whether it can stabilize the situation, and if it can be stabilized, many maritime merchants can make profits from it.

And once it can't be stabilized, it is equivalent to losing a huge piece of fat, which will inevitably make people feel pity.

Nowadays, the imperial court, the vassal kings and the maritime merchants, in fact, have already inadvertently been connected together through an invisible and intangible bond, the imperial court relies on the patriarchal law to control the vassal kings, and the vassal kings need to use the maritime merchants to strengthen the contact in the Central Plains, exchange goods, in order to gain a foothold overseas. However, maritime merchants need to rely on the policies of the imperial court in order to let go of their hands and feet.

If there is a problem in any link, all three parties may suffer huge losses.

Therefore, the commercial newspaper of that day, almost several articles in a row, were all about the four emperors' grandsons in Fusang, which shows how concerned the businessmen were about the four emperors' grandsons.
