Chapter 600: The Great Discovery
Compared with the concerns of the people of the world, Zhang Anshi is not in a hurry.
The plan he made was quite thorough.
Nothing should go wrong.
However, when he entered Wenyuan Pavilion, he mentioned this matter, Hu Guang and others, it was praise.
Of course, they praise from different angles.
"His Royal Highness the King of Song, the crown princess is really virtuous, I heard that His Royal Highness the prince asked His Majesty to give King Zheng, and ordered Zhou Chan to be the long history, and also gave a lot of money and food, and increased five hundred guards, these ...... It shouldn't be a rumor. ”
Zhang Anshi smiled: "There is such a thing. ”
When Hu Guang heard this, his face was full of red light, but he smiled and said: "This His Royal Highness King Zheng is not from the crown princess, but he can regard it as his own flesh and blood, even the flesh and blood of Niangniang's own life, and there is no such leniency, this kind of practice is really impressive......
Hu Guang's eyebrows fluttered.
Although even Xie Jin and the others knew that this was just the wrist of the crown princess Zhang.
But then again, the virtuous queens of all dynasties, who knows what they think in their hearts?
For example, Empress Changsun and Queen Ma of this dynasty, don't they really have any selfish thoughts?
It is precisely because people have selfish thoughts and their own preferences, but they can still restrain this selfishness, not only leveling a bowl of water, but even preferring to suffer their own losses, rather than teaching others the bearing of being wronged, but teaching others to feel respectable.
So much so that even Xie Jin couldn't help but say: "The bearing of the crown princess is really incomparable to that of ordinary women, and it is admirable." ”
Zhang Anshi said: "In fact, it has not reached the point where the princes are so sought after. ”
Well, he's nothing more than a voice of modesty.
But almost everyone shook their heads and smiled, silent.
Hu Guang couldn't hide things in his heart, but said: "Your Highness, you only care about serving the court on weekdays, and you have indeed done a lot of practical things, but you don't know that this kind of practice is really teaching everyone in the world to be happy." ”
Zhang Anshi humbly asked: "Why is this? ”
Hu Guang sat down, held tea, and said with a smile: "You see, His Royal Highness King Song is also not smart. Your Highness, think about it, in all dynasties, whenever there is a change in the world, either there are some small disputes between the clansmen, or the people can't survive. Or is it ...... Dong Zhuo came out of the world. ”
"Now that I am Ming, there is no Dong Zhuo."
Zhang Anshi wanted to ask, how do you know that there is no Dong Zhuo?
can think about it carefully, Dong Zhuo wields authority, bullies the emperor, and supports the army for self-respect. If you really want to talk about it, the person closest to Dong Zhuo's authority in this Ming Dynasty may be him Zhang Anshi!
Damn, I can't talk about this.
Hu Guangke didn't know Zhang Anshi's thoughts, and continued with great interest: "In addition, it is a popular uprising, but now that Haiyan River is clear, where is there any popular uprising?" ”
"In the end, the palace has changed, these words should not be said, but these are some words that our scholars say behind closed doors, and they don't worry about anything......
After a pause, Hu Guang said again: "But the changes in the palace, saying a thousand ways and ten thousand, don't you mean that there are always people who are unfair?" Because there is a difference between the young and the old, there is a difference between the young and the young, some people gain more, and some people feel that they have suffered a loss, so they are angry! As a result, people's hearts are scattered, and in the end, some rights and wrongs will inevitably arise. ”
"But the crown princess's demeanor today is like a blessing, and she is like this to King Zheng, so the princes of the other concubines are naturally not worried, and their hearts can be steady."
Saying that, he said with a little emotion: "Many times, the bad thing in this world is bad in suspicion, which is obviously a good thing, but people's hearts are different, but they have their own thoughts. In the end, it could be the worst. ”
"This dynasty is fortunate to have such virtuous queens as Ma Niangniang and, and now, the same is true for the crown princess. The old man knew that His Royal Highness King Song valued most of all things. But His Royal Highness King Song didn't know that in fact, this was well-known and a fortune. An ordinary person, if he wants to do something, how much money he needs to put in may not be able to do it. And such a well-known person may simply make a promise. ”
"Just like the crown princess, if something else happens in the future, everyone has a dispute, but if the crown princess stands up, then everyone will not make a fuss! Why? Because everyone believes that the crown princess will not teach herself to suffer. Isn't that better than a few things? ”
Zhang Anshi twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Hu Gong, how can I hear you say so much, but it seems that there is something in your words?" ”
Hu Guang smiled and said: "Other skills, the old man is not as good as you, but Your Highness, you have entered the Wenyuan Pavilion, ruled the world, and won the trust of Your Majesty, but there is one thing, the old man can't help but be a little criticized." That's ...... Sometimes, you can't just look at the immediate benefits...... You know what the old man meant. ”
Zhang Anshi was stunned for a moment, and then his mood was a little unbeautiful, and he said directly: "What does Duke Hu mean, this king must be compared?" ”
Some words are good to understand, but they can't be pierced.
At this time, Hu Guang inevitably had a trace of embarrassment on his face, and said, "Ahem...... There are some things, let's talk about them casually, change them if they have them, and encourage them if they don't. ”
Zhang Anshi didn't plan to stop there, and said, "Hu Gong made it clear. ”
Hu Guang looked a little helpless and said, "What can the old man say?" ”
He paused, and then said: "When dealing with the affairs of Fusang Domain, in fact, His Royal Highness should have followed the example of the crown princess, instead of only caring about his own family......
Zhang Anshi immediately said: "Fan Town? What does Hu Gong mean is that the feudal town I gave to King Zheng was not good? ”
Hu Guang pinched his beard and said, "It's not bad, don't worry." ”
Zhang Anshi said: "......"
If he does a good deed and is still complained about, why is he not in a hurry.
Hu Guang said: "But if it's good, why did King Zheng refuse?" What about asking for a replacement of the feudal town? You see, teenagers can't fool them. ”
Zhang Anshi couldn't help but say: "Nonsense......"
"It's all said, Your Highness, don't worry......"
He Zhang Anshi is not the kind of person who has no mouth, he was so incomprehensible, so he acquiesced, so he said: "I clearly gave him the best feudal town, the conscience of heaven and earth, I think about people like this, but unexpectedly, I was so suspicious, it is really pitiful." ”
Hu Guang smiled and said: "If you say something, you will change it, and if you don't, you will be encouraged, what is the hurry?" ”
Zhang Anshi said: "Where did Hu Gong hear it this time? ”
Hu Guang said hesitantly: "This ...... This one...... Where is Matsue...... Coming out ......"
Zhang Anshi raised his eyebrows, but he was vigilant in his heart.
You know, it was a family feast.
Except for His Majesty, there is only Yishiha, the crown prince and the four imperial grandsons, plus one Zhang Anshi, there is no one else.
Your Majesty naturally will not chew on the root of this tongue.
Yisha has always been steady, he can accompany you in front of you for so many years, what to say and what not to say, naturally his heart is like a mirror, and Zhang Anshi is absolutely sure of this.
As for his brother-in-law, his temperament is by no means the kind of person who chews the root of his tongue.
Then there are the four imperial grandsons, Zhu Zhanyong and Zhu Zhanrong, Zhang Anshi thinks that the possibility is not high, not because he believes in their character, but these two bastards, without this kind of harmful brain, many things, may be forgotten afterwards, very careless.
So...... The biggest possibility is that Zhu Zhanjun's two brothers.
It's just that...... What are they doing this for?
It's because I'm going to the domain anyway, so it doesn't matter if I say it?
Or, did he deliberately spread this news to teach the world that he Zhang Anshi favored one over the other, but did not dare to treat them badly at the court level?
Or, just because he felt that he Zhang Anshi was unfair to them, so he took this opportunity to take a small revenge?
"It's stupid, it's really stupid, I got the benefits of my Zhang family, but in turn, I will take revenge, it's really stupid." Zhang Anshi was so angry that he screamed.
Hu Guang hurriedly persuaded: "Your Highness, Your Highness, don't worry, in fact, everyone has selfish intentions, so what's the matter?" It's good to pay attention later. ”
Zhang Anshi said angrily: "I'll pay attention to a bird." ”
Hu Guangdao: "How do you scold people? ”
Zhang Anshi was angry at this time, so he ignored it and walked away directly.
Hu Guang couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, and said: "After all, he is still too young and not well-cultivated, and he is not as good as the old man at all." ”
After all, Hu Guang was a little complacent.
…………
After March.
Fuso, Izumo Province.
This place was originally the domain of the Daimyo Ouchi family.
However, the Ouchi clan participated in a rebellion against the Ashikaga family, and the Ming army immediately entered Fuso, first crushing the main force of the rebels, and after that, began to sweep.
And the Ouchi family of this Izumo country was naturally condemned as a traitor, and all the clansmen were escorted to the shogunate for punishment.
As for his retainers and samurai, most of them were also taken prisoner.
After that, a large fleet of ships came, and this Izumo country, naturally, changed its door.
After all, the new head of the Ashikaga family was weak, and the Ming Dynasty intimately chose the protection of the four feudal states, this huge fleet, brought many civil and military officials, as well as a large number of craftsmen, and a full number of 7,500 guards, in addition, there were countless materials.
And this Izumo Prefecture, naturally, ushered in the officials sent by the feudal state.
There are also more than 300 palace guards stationed here.
Immediately afterwards, the new prefectural magistrate began to gather the local elders and samurai, and roughly affirmed the guilt of the Ouchi family, who participated in the rebellion against the shogun of the Seiyi as the guardian of the daimyo, and it was disloyal, and such disloyal and untrustworthy people naturally wanted to be killed.
As for its main rebel backbone, most of them have been severely punished, and now, General Zhengyi has invited Da Ming to come here and replace the Ouchi family, who has any objections?
At first, when I heard that the Ming army was coming, the Ouchi family called on people to resist the great soldiers, recruited a large number of samurai and strong men, and everyone was willing to use their lives.
But after fighting hard, but after being killed and not leaving a piece of armor, the Ouchi family has also been completely defeated, and after the dragons have no leader, this Izumo country up and down, all of them expressed obedience and welcome.
The prefectural order didn't have much interest in them, so he immediately began to lead people and confiscate all the properties of the Izumo Kunichi family.
And in the midst of this huge industry, there is a huge mountain range, which is also among them.
Iwamiyama.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of people arrived, they took a compass, carried various tools for exploration, hired local natives as guides, and immediately began to enter the mountain.
And Sheng Chen, who was far away in Edo, got the news two months later...... These exploration teams have made discoveries.
Edo is now the capital of the vassal kingdom of Zhu Zhanyong, the king of Yue, and it is bordered by the sea, but now it is a barren land.
In the past, the owner of the Edo clan, because of his meritorious service in assisting the Ashikaga family to quell the rebellion, conquered the Shogunate, summoned him to the shogunate, granted him more important official positions, and re-granted him a piece of land near the shogunate.
In this way, this Edo naturally became the base of Zhu Zhanyong, the king of Yue.
Zhu Zhanyong originally had some scruples about rebuilding the city here, after all, Fusang is not as good as other places, there are many ready-made cities here, such as the Izumo Castle in the former Izumo Kingdom, which is very good, as long as the scale is expanded.
But when he actually arrived here, he realized the benefits of this place.
There is a large bay right next to it, and even if there are strong storms, boats can take shelter from the storms.
In addition, this place is a natural harbor, and the surrounding sea area has few reefs, and the water depth is enough for ships to enter and exit without worrying about running aground.
Such a good place, ordinary places are rare, it is simply blessed.
Although Zhu Zhanyong brought no capable officials, Zhang Anshi gave him a lot of scribes, and these people quickly began to go to various counties and counties, and then began to carry out the work at hand.
At this time, Sheng Chen also took a large number of people and went straight to Iwajian Mountain in Izumo County.
A few days later.
Sheng Chen entered this mountain stream, and then, when he saw the silver smelted in a simple smelting furnace, he took a deep breath.
"Did you look around?"
"It's all explored, it's everywhere, the scale of this mine, I'm just afraid of ......... than His Highness's explanation...... It's even bigger, I have explored so many mines in Zhili and Jiangxi Buzheng Envoy Division, but I have never seen a silver mine of this scale. ”
Sheng Chen's eyes lit up, and then, he took a deep breath and said, "What ......is the grade of the ore?"
"It must be a bonanza...... Shopkeeper Sheng, let's be honest, this place ...... Once it is mined on a large scale, I can guarantee that even all the silver production in the whole world combined may not be able to reach this point. ”
Sheng Chen: "......"
The reason why he didn't answer was obviously thinking about whether the other party was exaggerating.
On the other hand, it's this kid who is so shocked, this ...... It's like picking up a treasure.
"His Royal Highness the King of Song...... His Royal Highness King Song...... It's really clever, it's really clever......" After muttering, Sheng Chen said, "Don't leak the news for the time being." At present, the feudal kingdom is newly established and has not yet gained a stable foothold, and it is unknown what accidents may be caused by this news......"
After a pause, Sheng Chen said again: "Give a secret report to His Royal Highness King Song, I'm afraid that the machinery originally planned is not enough, we have to find another way to order a large number of tools and machinery from Xinzhou, we have to build a cable in this mountain stream, and even ...... To lay wooden rails, in short, the preliminary preparations, not a single one should be left behind. Again, find a way, and then recruit a group of craftsmen from Zhili...... Rest assured that the bold recruitment, the salary...... It is good to say that this salary can be twice or three times, and if it is scarce, it does not matter if it is five times or ten times. ”
"Yes."
Sheng Chen thought for a while, and then said: "In addition, it seems that those captured rebels can be used for some purposes, this matter, and wait a while, in the next few days, I will explore it with you again, and then I will explore the nearby mountains again." ”
Sheng Chen suppressed the excitement in his heart at this time.
He suddenly realized that a great future was in front of him.
In many cases, the so-called success and fame have to rely on their own efforts, but in fact, there are more people in this world who work harder than you, and hard work is just to raise the lower limit of people, and what can really raise the upper limit of people is luck.
No, for Sheng Chen, he knew that it was not luck, but because of His Royal Highness King Song.
With such a huge vein, the quality of the ore can be excellent, which is enough for him to appear in the newspapers after the news spreads in the future.
…………
Winter goes to spring.
Another year has passed.
Zhang Anshi sighed that time passed like a white horse, and he had not yet regained his taste, and he had already hurried away.
When he was younger, he wished that time would pass faster.
But now, I can't help it.
Today's Zhang Anshi is like an idler, the new deal is on track, and it seems that it is no longer urged by people, and it begins to run wild like a wild dog.
From His Majesty to the prince of the prison state, to the scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion, to the scholars and servants of various ministries, and even to merchants and ordinary soldiers and civilians, it seems that they are also familiar with the new policy.
Sometimes the changes in the world, Zhang Anshi himself feels that he can't keep up, and some of the fashionable words spoken to each other between the various books, Zhang Anshi sometimes doesn't understand what they mean.
Zhang Anshi was a little uncomfortable at first, he has always been a leader, and he had to do this up and down affairs.
But when the people around him seemed to be more and more handy, Zhang Anshi found that his current self seemed to be redundant.
In the final analysis, after all, his wisdom and talent are never much better than those of the ancients.
Nothing more than just ...... I am more far-sighted than others, and I know the historical process five hundred years later.
And now, these advantages are gradually beginning to be lost, maybe others are not aware of it, but Zhang Anshi himself knows that he has slowly returned to mediocrity.
There will never be a shortage of people with extraordinary intelligence, and once these people begin to become familiar with the context of the New Deal, they can quickly draw inferences from each other and burst out with unimaginable creativity.
Zhang Anshi is now adapted, he is used to going aimlessly to Wenyuan Pavilion to fight the autumn breeze all day long. At noon, he began to be lazy, and found an excuse to say that he had something important, so he slipped out.
Such days are peaceful and boring.
can be savored, this so-called boring, to a certain extent, is not the end pursued by the vast number of beings who come and go in a hurry all day this day.
