Chapter Seventy-Four: The Problem of the Eunuch

Liu Song couldn't get out of bed anymore. No, there are still some mental. At least not that you can't communicate normally.

He Xi and Yao Guangxiao sat in front of Liu Song's bed. After a few pleasantries, the two sides got to the point.

Liu Song coughed twice and said: "A few years ago, I had a serious illness and retired from the position of secretary of the ministry, I thought I was going to die, but I didn't want God to give me a few more years of life, and now it seems that God is going to accept me." I don't know how long I can survive, do you have anyone to choose for the position of the country's priest wine? ”

He Xi said; "Master Liu, why do you say this, you will definitely be able to live a long life."

Liu Song said: "There is no need to say such polite words in front of me. Say, who is the candidate? ”

He Xi glanced at Yao Guangxiao, and Yao Guangxiao said, "It's Song Ne's son, Song Lin." ”

"Song Lin?" Liu Song pondered for a moment and said, "Sure enough, he is a good candidate." Song Lin has not promoted your knowledge in Huaxian County in the past two years. And according to your routine, I did a lot of research and proposed to rebuild the fangtou. ”

He Xi said: "The battle of Fangtou? ”

Liu Song said: "Yes, it is the place where Huan Wen was defeated, just near Huaxian County, he researched the ins and outs of the local water system, and proposed to build a canal to connect the Wei River with the Yellow River to connect the north and south." The words and sentences are all based on your original template. ”

He Xi didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy for a while.

Be happy, Song Lin has changed his position now. It's my own person, I don't know if it's the face I gave at the beginning, or the homework that Yao Guangxiao has done these days. But He Xi was very reluctant to this canal plan.

Without him, there is a conflict between sea transportation and water transportation.

He Xi didn't know that sorting out inland waterway shipping is actually very important. There are conflicts between maritime and river transport, but there are also irreplaceable places for both sides. But timing is important. He Xi was now trying to expand shipping, and Song Lin came up with a canal plan, and the two sides clashed.

What's even more troublesome is that He Xi may not be able to convince Song Lin to give up.

Without him, standing in Song Lin's confession, he can't give up. Because the canal connects the north and the south, the place where the canal passes becomes a traffic artery. In later generations, the Ming Dynasty repaired the transportation and created an economic belt along the canal. It is very prosperous, even comparable to Jiangnan.

Song Lin must think about the local people in his hometown.

This is also the practice of this era, where there is a big official, it is necessary to fight for the interests of the local area. The benefits of this canal are too great, and it is impossible for Song Lin not to fight for them.

For a while, He Xi had some happy troubles.

There are too few people under him, and that is the trouble of lack of people. But there are too many people, because of political opinions. Benefits. and so on, it will naturally divide into factions, and there will be more places where interests collide in the future. He Xi wants to mediate the conflict and balance all parties.

There's more to it.

Liu Song said: "In this case, when I go to the testament, I will recommend Song Lin." ”

He Xi said, "Thank you, sir." ”

If they find a way to push Song Lin up, it will take some effort, but if Liu Song recommends him on his deathbed. That's a lot easier.

Liu Song said: "I also have something to ask for. ”

He Xi said; "The Boss said, as long as I can do it. It will be done. ”

Liu Song took out a list from his cuffs, handed it to He Xi and said: "People are old, they miss the old, these are all talents from their hometown." It's just that today it is the world of western Zhejiang and Huaixi, and these children are sinking and can't come out. I also ask the colt to bring one or two in the future. ”

He Xi took a look, Yang Yu, the Xie brothers, and dozens of other people. They are all rising stars in Jiangxi.

He Xi was a little surprised by Liu Song's request, but he also had some understanding.

Liu Song doesn't really care too much about what is behind him. As mentioned earlier, Liu Song is a Qing official, and even the furnishings around him today are just some woodware, even porcelain. But he cherishes talents and likes to promote juniors the most.

Perhaps this is also the most important treasure accumulated for the descendants of the Liu family, that is, connections.

But no matter what, He Xi has heard of some of the characters on this list. For example, Xie Jin is even more thunderous. The situation in the early Ming Dynasty and half of Jiangxi was of course due to such and such reasons, but Jiangxi had many talents. This is also true.

He Xi was a little confused in his heart. Secretly said: "In history, the Manchu Dynasty and half of Jiangxi will not come from my support." "After all, Liu Song has recommended too many Jiangxi people to you.

He Xi said: "Please rest assured, I will use a certain amount." ”

Liu Song said: "I'm relieved. Just give these kids a chance, and they're sure to stand out. There's one more thing that I think can only be solved by you. ”

He Xi said: "Boss, please speak." ”

Liu Song said: "Your Majesty ordered Qin Tianjian and Guozijian to jointly create a set of methods for drawing the area of places in the air. In fact, this matter is from Qin Tianjian's side. But there was really no way for Qin Tianjian to do so, so he found Guozijian. ”

"And the arithmetic of what a horse is unparalleled in the world. You can only do it. ”

He Xi was stunned for a moment, not knowing if it was a lifting stone to shoot himself in the foot. However, this matter, in He Xi's opinion, is a little troublesome, but it is not impossible. During this period of time, he happened to be in Jingshi, so let's do something.

He Xi said: "Okay. ”

------

He Xi and Yao Guangxiao came out of the Guozijian, and He Xi said: "You go and send a letter to Song Lin, so that he can be prepared." ”

Yao Guangxiao said; "Yes."

He Xi immediately instructed: "Where is Yang Yu?" ”

Yao Guangxiao said; "He should be in the College of Engineering and Science, didn't the adults tell him to study looms."

He Xi said: "Let him come back, I'll see how his research goes, and by the way, I want to give the boss a face." Give him a lift. ”

Yao Guangxiao nodded, and also felt that it was the proper meaning of the question, and he was not ready to carry these people in the future. It is the person of the future. Before Liu Song died, some looks still had to be done.

Just when He Xi was busy with the affairs of the Jingshi. The Javanese side is struggling to survive.

------

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." Fang Guan stood in front of the Mukden Gate. Looking at the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military worship, when he was happy, suddenly the Yangtze River hung upside down, like a flying dragon, condensing countless splashes. He roared and said: "Fang family child, I am the Emperor of Heaven, the Zhu Clan of Heaven is in charge of the world, how dare you be presumptuous." ”

Immediately, under the impact of the heavy water, Fang Guan instantly came to his senses.

The pain came to my heart all at once.

Fang Guan opened his eyes in a daze, but felt the rain falling from the sky.

"It was raining." Fang Guan said secretly. There were countless wounds on his body, and when it rained, it suddenly stinged. Thinking of the situation a few days ago, Fang Guan was still furious, and said secretly: "Java is a small country, dare to do this." I will make them look good, and know what the majesty of the heavenly kingdom is. ”

Fang Guan opened up Chen Zuyi's joints, and in the name of Chen Zuyi and Daming, no one dared to do it in Nanyang, even if he dared to do it, Fang Guan also had several big ships and nearly a thousand soldiers. Well-armed. If you can't fight at sea, there's absolutely no problem in escaping.

So I traveled all the way east and came to Java according to the nautical chart. Originally, Fang Guan was sending someone to purchase, and he himself was not ready to get off the ship. After all, you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people. Anything can happen at sea.

But the Javanese side continued to ask, especially that they wanted to pay tribute to the Celestial Empire, and asked Fang Guan for advice. And gave a lot of precious gifts.

Fang was moved.

He's not in it for the money.

After all, although Fang Guozhen is not here, but the family background left behind, if you talk about money alone, there is no problem for the Fang family to spend three lifetimes. But the problem is that there is no power to keep money. What he was excited about was that he might be able to pat the emperor's ass.

After all, what emperor can refuse all nations to come to court.

Java is a powerful country in the South Seas, if he can guide Java to pay tribute, plus some small countries, it will be larger. Sent to Nanjing, how could Zhu Yuanzhang not give face. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't care, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military also cares.

As soon as people ask for something, there will be flaws.

Fang Guan took this idea and went to the meeting. As a result, he did not see anyone from the Javanese side at all. is a trap. He was immediately taken down, and the Javanese, with the help of his token, attacked the ship. Took down the entire fleet.

That's what he was.
