"Father is really powerful, too powerful!" Zhu Gaochi stuffed a large piece of fish meat into his mouth and couldn't help but admire.

Xu Jingchang was speechless and coughed: "You have said it for the seventh time, and my ears are about to come out of calluses." ”

"Really?" The big fat man rolled his eyelids and snorted: "It's just very powerful, taking the opportunity to get the Kong family to the capital can be regarded as transferring the tiger away from the mountain, and the courtiers can't refute this move." ”

Xu Jingchang blinked, indeed, he had heard of Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji's statements, these two old foxes were not fuel-efficient lamps. When they objected, they were also under the banner of putting national affairs first, and they had no selfish motives. By now, seeing that the overall situation has been reversed, they have jumped out and pretended to be loyal again.

But this is also good, it fully proves the flexible moral bottom line of civil officials, after all, if the Confucian ministers are so iron-headed, they will not be able to inherit it for 2,000 years.

"What I'm worried about now is that they are going to change their strategy, no longer openly opposing, but secretly stumbling, mixing sand, and adding chaos to our affairs."

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but stop his chopsticks and said in surprise: "What should I do then?" ”

"It's easy to do, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, we must seize the time, cultivate our own talents, and have a steady stream of talents, they will benefit from the new system, they will support us."

Zhu Gaochi nodded vigorously, "I probably understand, you want to ask me for money, right?" ”

Xu Jingchang smiled: "Your Highness is really getting smarter and smarter. ”

Zhu Gaochi doesn't like to listen to it, he is not stupid, and he is not the two stupid people of the second and third children.

"I can tell you clearly, my father just asked me to get the Kong family to the capital...... I will definitely return their land to the people of Qufu and other places, don't expect to sell it for money...... As for the floating wealth of the Kong family, it is estimated that it will not be less, but I can't take it directly, there are so many pairs of eyes staring at it in the world, I have to maintain the face of the Xia Tianjia, and I can't do things so ugly, don't you say? ”

Xu Jingchang smiled, "Your Highness, this matter is actually easy to handle." ”

"What should I do?"

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Your Highness, please think, the Kong family is in Shandong, the sky is angry and people are resentful, there will definitely be many people who want to settle accounts with them, the Kong family wants to bring a lot of money to Beijing, what if something happens on the way?" What's more, a large amount of money entering Beijing is tantamount to telling the world that the Confucian family has not only inherited the virtues of the sage, but also accumulated the wealth of the sky! ”

Zhu Gaochi nodded again and again when he heard this, "I understand, you kid is a bad belly, you are asking me to instigate the common people to come out and make trouble, and then eat black and black, and get the property of the Kong family in hand......"

"Shut up!"

Xu Jingchang immediately interrupted Zhu Gaochi, "I said His Royal Highness the Prince, you are the prince of a country, you must pay attention to your words and deeds, and you must talk more about loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness." Don't talk about these kinds of excesses, you know? ”

"Understand, don't say anything, things have to be done."

Xu Jingchang was even more angry, "It's still not open, this is the people's voluntariness, and it is the people's desire...... Also, you have to remember that we are not embezzling the property of the Kong family, do you understand? ”

"Don't embezzle, but save it for them?" Zhu Gao shouted, "Then what are we busy with?" ”

Xu Jingchang said: "Confused, Yan Shenggong is three years old this year, or is he four years old?" Such a young child, do you know how to spend money? What if it's taken away by the bad guys, we're going to keep it for them, do you understand? ”

"Understand, it's a self-theft!"

Xu Jingchang was angry, this pig is not smart!

"Your Highness, although some things are like that, you don't have to tell the truth! What's more, we're helping to keep it on your behalf...... If you deposit it in the Han King's bank, you can still earn interest! When Yan Sheng Gong reaches a certain age, he can withdraw it. However, during this time, I can borrow money from Hanwang's bank and do our business. ”

Zhu Gaochi's face changed again and again, he can be regarded as an eye-opener now, what is full of benevolence and morality, and what is high-sounding.

"I think you have the potential to be a traitor...... No, you're a traitor now! ”

Xu Jingchang didn't care, "If there are traitors, there must be faint kings, Your Highness seems to want to be a pawn?" ”

Zhu Gao was stunned for a moment, grabbed his chopsticks, and ate the sweet and sour live fish, this time he went back to Shandong, it would take many days to come back, and if he didn't eat it, he would lose money.

Zhu Gaochi is gone, Xu Jingchang is not idle, Yan Shenggong is about to enter Beijing, he must be entertained well, and he can't snub others.

First of all, it is necessary to solve the problem of living, and now the most lively thing in Yingtian City is outside the Jubao Gate, where merchants are prosperous, and there are many workshops...... Too noisy to be suitable.

Arranged in the west, there is Mochou Lake, as well as Qinhuai River, the scenery is good, but it is not conducive to physical and mental development, and it is not suitable.

To the north is the Yangtze River, and it is not appropriate to let Yan Shenggong blow the river breeze.

Picking and choosing, Xu Jingchang put the Yansheng Mansion in the Chaoyang Gate in the east, only one street away from the palace.

The location is good, close to the palace, which just shows the importance that the Son of Heaven attaches to Yan Shenggong.

The position has been finalized, and there is another problem next, that is, Yan Shenggong has entered Beijing, and there must be something to do.

The sacrificial hole will definitely be returned to the court, what can he do?

Xu Jingchang thought about it and had an idea to build a library!

That's right, build a royal library with a big top, and then hire Yan Sheng Gong as the director to collect rare books and books from all over the world and educate the people......

Right!

That's it!

Xu Jingchang felt that he was too smart to think of such a good idea.

By the way, it seems that the Kong family also has a lot of treasures, so let them also give it away.

The more Xu Jingchang thought about it, the happier he became, and he immediately took action.

He pulled Xu Qin and Zhu Laosan, and ran to Chaoyang Gate to take a look inside and outside, Xu Qin was very satisfied with this place, because out of Chaoyang Gate, it was Xiaolingwei, the environment was elegant, quiet and indifferent, and it was a good place to study.

"It would be nice if I were allowed to live here and study!"

Zhu Gaosui rolled his eyes when he heard this, "I said Xu Qin, when we were young, we did bad things together, you can still toss better than me, it's only been a few years, how can you change so much, I don't dare to admit it!" ”

Xu Qin couldn't help coughing and said: "I forgot everything when I was a child, and now that I am dedicated to learning, I plan to write a book." ”

"Writing a book? What book? It can't be a script, right? ”

"No!" Xu Qin smiled: "It's economics...... Learn from the world and help the people! ”

Zhu Gaosui was curious: "What is this for?" ”

"It's about how to enrich the country and enrich the people...... In fact, I think Confucianism is not bad, the key is how to use it. ”

Xu Jingchang smiled and stretched out his thumb, "Yes, my brother is really insightful." ”

Encouraged by this, Xu Qin became even bolder, and said: "Confucianism pays attention to lightness and thinness, that is, to reduce the exploitation of farmers, I think this is very good, we all know who knows that Chinese food is hard." Farmers face the loess with their backs to the sky, digging in the soil, and in a year, they can save too little, not to mention that they have to guard against famine years, and at this time they will have an accident if they are re-concentrated on the people. ”

Xu Jingchang nodded even more, "I really didn't see it, my brother has extraordinary knowledge!" Xu Jingchang continued to ask: "The idea of lightly paying for the meager endowment is right, but the problem is that the country has no money and can't sustain it!" ”

Xu Qin said: "This is the problem of Confucianism, which advocates light taxation and small endowments, and also finds financial resources for the imperial court...... Therefore, corresponding to the light and meager endowment, it is necessary to encourage industry and commerce, develop overseas trade, seek wealth from barbarians, and strengthen my China! ”

"Wonderful!"

Xu Jingchang couldn't help but slap his face.

Xu Qin's face flushed slightly, "My own brother, you will be embarrassed to praise me like this." ”

Xu Jingchang smiled: "This is not to praise you, but to tell the truth...... In fact, a lot of knowledge is not advanced and complicated, it is a summary of immediate experience. The key is to justify yourself. For example, many scholars also understand that they pay attention to keeping their families and getting rich at the end. It is said that relying on land to ensure family inheritance and relying on businessmen to get rich...... This set of ideas, put in the country, isn't it just to lightly pay for the meager endowment and develop industry and commerce! Therefore, my brother is indeed enlightened, and your set of things can really enrich the country and enrich the people, which is very good! ”

Xu Qin was stunned for a long time before he said slowly: "Is this really the case?" ”

"I won't lie to you. If you don't believe it, let's write an article and publish it in the newspaper, so that everyone in the world can comment on it, is this set of propositions right or wrong? ”

At this time, Zhu Gaosui smiled and said, "Okay, I'll help you publish...... The article you wrote earlier was enough to sell more than 20% more than Di Bao, and Xu Tanhua is already a celebrity in Shilin. ”

"Celebrities? Is it famous? Xu Qin was taken aback.

"It's famous, but there are many people who want to refute you."

When Xu Qin heard this, he aroused his fighting spirit and sneered: "If I'm right, no one can refute me!" ”

"Good!"

Xu Jingchang stroked his palms and laughed, very pleased.

The Xu family has been passed down to the third generation, and the first generation of Xu Dana is a famous general in ancient and modern times, so there is no need to say more. The brothers Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou can only be regarded as martial artists...... When Xu Jingchang and Xu Qin waited for this wave, they were very reluctant to even lead the troops.

After all, celebrities are not so successful, they need the right time, place and people, plus so much luck.

Their chances are almost minimal, and if they can turn their heads to study knowledge and achieve a school of doctrine, it is also very good, it is better than being a gentleman.

Xu Jingchang was very pleased, "Brother, you have to hurry up, I plan to wait for Yan Sheng Gong to enter Beijing, and let you teach Yan Sheng Gong, what do you think?" ”

"Me?"

Xu Qin couldn't help laughing, "Can you kid be less tricky, this is planning to wipe the Kong family clean!" ”

Xu Jingchang smiled: "Isn't it good? ”

……

Just as they were discussing, Zhu Gaochi had already arrived in Qufu and met the Kong family.

"Hey, now there are rumors outside, what is the Nishan Hongru Society, what is the Confucian Fish and Meat Township...... I don't believe in these bastards, I believe that the saints of the Confucian Mansion are pure, and they will definitely not let people bully you casually. In this way, Yan Shenggong is about the same age as the grandson, let him be the grandson's companion, I will treat Yan Shenggong as my own child, and see who dares to talk nonsense! ”

When the Confucian Mansion heard this, they had nothing to say except to kneel down and shout the great grace of the prince......
