Extra: Pain and disadvantage

"Old monk, why don't you even raise pigeons, I still listen to the dogs...... Are you really waiting to go to the Western Heavenly Bliss? ”

The one who can talk to Yao Guangxiao so unscrupulously is Xu Jingchang.

The old monk's beard and eyebrows were snow-white and long, but his eyes were very bright, not like he was going to die immediately.

"When the old man sees his life, he can't bear to see his death...... Therefore, it was released early, so that the pigeons could also be freed, which was considered a merit. ”

Xu Jingchang nodded again and again, "I understand, this is called release, and it is really a great merit!" If you release it here, someone will catch it there, and it didn't take any time to eat the authentic roast pigeon, fragrant, really fragrant! ”

"Xu Jingchang!"

Yao Guangxiao was so angry that his brows stood up, his fists clenched, and he wanted to beat this kid to death with one punch.

It's a pity that he is too old, more than eighty people, and he is really powerless.

Xu Jingchang saw it in his eyes and laughed heartily, "The old thief is bald, have you forgotten?" Back then, you smashed the chessboard with a slap, forcing me to go out of the mountain and wade into the troubled waters of the imperial court, and I was taking the blame for you! Now, you can take another one for me to see! ”

Xu Jingchang looked at the old monk triumphantly.

Yao Guangxiao also stared at him, shook his head and smiled bitterly for a while, and pointed at Xu Jingchang, "Lao Gao can see it, you kid is really careful, with a small belly and chicken intestines, you don't even forget this thing!" ”

Xu Jingchang smiled, "I'm not a gentleman originally, I'm afraid you chose me to go to the wrong Buddha hall and worship the wrong Bodhisattva!" ”

Yao Guangxiao pondered for a moment and laughed, "That's right, it's not wrong at all." You're much deeper than the old man, and the good guys can't sit in that position, and the bad guys can't either...... Only you, bastard, are the most suitable. The old man still has a face, so it's not as good as you. ”

This evaluation is too low, Xu Jingchang is very angry, but he is helpless, after all, he can't really beat the old monk.

However, Xu Jingchang is really not a good thing, he scratched his eyes, "Young Master Yao, you said that after you passed away, how about I ask a few Taoist priests to recite the scriptures to you?" ”

Yao Guangxiao's old face is visible to the naked eye, rabbit cub, you are really not a thing!

The old monk pondered for a while, and then said with a smile: "Okay, the old man also cultivates the three religions, no matter where you send the old man, I don't care." It's you who are the prince of the country, but be careful, after all, no one can escape this day, and the old man just goes to occupy a position for you first. ”

Xu Jingchang groaned slightly, and shook his head, the two of them quarreled as soon as they met, which was actually quite boring.

"Old monk, let's say something useful. Now the time is almost right, and the preparations are in place. The real change of the Ming Dynasty is coming, the ones we drummed up before are just appetizers, and now it's time to put on the main meal, before your old man dies, you can see this matter, presumably you can smile Jiuquan. ”

Yao Guangxiao's face gradually became solemn, "This thing is not so easy...... From the early years of Yongle, when we played chess in the General Administration, we began to lay out. Over the years, a lot of talents have been cultivated, and the original pattern has been broken, fiscal and taxation reforms, imperial examination reforms, everything has been done, looking at the world, throughout the past and present, where is the difference, the old man can't say. Do you really know about Dingguogong? ”

Xu Jingchang sighed, "I don't dare to say that I know everything, but since I changed the Mandate of Heaven, to the Emperor Taishang summoned the people from all over the country to show the achievements of governing the country...... Our Daming is walking on a new road. This new road is to shift from the ethereal destiny to the people's livelihood economy and the voice of the people. If you have to let me speak, I hope that Your Majesty can speak out about governing for the people, adjusting the official system, truly listening to the voice of the people, and governing the country in this way. ”

Xu Jingchang said again: "As long as we get to this point and have this change, no matter how far it will eventually develop, we can comfort future generations." ”

Yao Guangxiao listened silently, then straightened his waist and pondered for a long time, and then said: "Tang Taizong said that water can carry boats and overturn boats, and the people are regarded as the foundation of the country, which is naturally excellent. It's just that the official system of the Tang Dynasty still inherits the previous generation, three provinces and six ministries, and all the officials are looking up at the king, and no one can look down at the people...... The old man didn't know what to do. After all, it's hard to say just by relying on the heart of the Son of Heaven. The Emperor Taishang is wise and wise, when today's Ziren is magnanimous, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also has the atmosphere of a holy monarch, but after three generations, what will happen, Lao Wei doesn't know! ”

The two chatted for a while, and Yao Guangxiao suddenly said, "You chose that Tai student, is he really good?" Just by virtue of a poem, you can see the courage and open-mindedness, but what are his methods? Can you take on the big responsibility? ”

Xu Jingchang smiled slightly, he picked Yu Qian, naturally it was not just a poem.

"Young Master Yao, such a big thing is not something that can be carried by one person, and it requires the big guys to work together."

Yao Guangxiao blinked his triangular eyes, and said with a smile: "That little cub of your family is doing this, right?" ”

Xu Jingchang didn't hide it, but smiled: "It's a fluke that the two of them can get together, I don't mean to add fuel to the fire." ”

Yao Guangxiao just gave him a roll of the eyes, I believe that you are a fool.

The two of them were chatting here, and at this time, an unprecedented feast was being held in the East Palace of the Prince.

Chen Xun, the champion, talked to Zhu Zhanji eloquently, and naturally talked about the content of the commercial law contract...... He gave Zhu Zhanji an example, there was a Jin merchant, he borrowed money from another merchant, and a few years later, when it was time to repay the loan, the merchant was bankrupt, and even the IOU of that year was lost.

But when the Jin merchant saw the man, he paid back the money he owed, because he borrowed money from others, and he couldn't deny it because he didn't have an IOU.

A few days later, a man came to his shop and took out an IOU.

Although Jin Shang didn't know the other party, he wrote this IOU, and when people came to ask for it, he had to repay it.

A debt, repaid twice.

The Jin merchants were almost bankrupt, but after the news of this matter spread, the other merchants thought that this person was honest and reliable, and they were willing to do business with him, and after a few years, the family business skyrocketed more than ten times.

"Your Highness, in business with sincerity, making a covenant is only a superficial thing, and what is more important is the covenant in your heart. In the land of China, the Confucian merchants have been inherited, and they have continued from generation to generation, and they have become more and more prosperous, and the mystery lies in this. The minister thinks that the way to govern the country is also among them. ”

When Chen Xun talked about this, he suddenly found that a kid next to Zhu Zhanji was picking his feet there!

This almost made Chen Xun angry to death, you are too rude to do such an important thing as a feast.

"Wuyang Hou, I don't know what you think?"

Xu Xianzhong smiled and put his feet down, "Gao Jian can't talk about it, it's just that I have listened to no less than eight versions of the story of the Jin merchants you told." ”

Chen Xunyi frowned, "Marquis Wuyang, are you saying that what I said is false?" ”

Xu Xianzhong smiled: "I didn't mean that, but your words reminded me of some jokes about filial piety in the past...... For example, the elder brother will deliberately bully the younger brother in order to show the filial piety of the younger brother and help the younger brother become filial piety. Although these two things are not related, listening to your high arguments always makes me think about them for no reason! ”

Xu Xianzhong glanced at Zhu Zhanji and said with a smile: "Your Highness, if according to the meaning of the champion prince, is it not that the imperial court will suffer a little loss first, so that the merchants will take advantage, and then more businessmen will be willing to do business with the imperial court, and then the imperial court will be able to make a fortune, make a lot of money, and fill the treasury?" ”

When Chen Xun heard this, his face suddenly changed, "Marquis Wuyang, you, you are talking nonsense, nonsense. ”

Xu Xianzhong spread his hands and said helplessly: "Your Highness, the champion of the people said so, I am only a shallow learner, but I don't dare to talk nonsense." ”

Zhu Zhanji paused, then turned his head to look at the other sect disciples who participated in the scripture feast, and everyone looked like they had nothing to do with themselves. Zhu Zhanji finally glanced at Yu Qian and said in a low voice: "You are very good at reading and writing articles in Taixue, so you may give a judgment on this matter?" ”

Yu Qian has the lowest status and the worst education in this group of people, but he has no stage fright, after getting up, he first saluted, and then said: "Zhuangyuan Gonggao, Huang Zhong Dalu, Wuyang Hou is astute, and he is also straight to the core." ”

Zhu Zhanji frowned and said, "In this kind of matter, you can't be offended, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right?" ”

Yu Qian said: "Your Highness, the grass people don't dare to talk nonsense casually, let alone ...... with the mud The meaning of the grass people, although the champion is high, it is not suitable for the court, and governing the country is nonsense. ”

"Why do you say that?"

"Because he is still talking about virtue and education, this thing can only be used for self-cultivation...... If all the people in the world are gentlemen, it cannot be said that it is wrong to rule the country by law. But since ancient times, gentlemen and villains, living in the world, have never been clear, since they can't tell the difference, how can they treat everyone as gentlemen? ”

Yu Qian paused and said: "Your Highness, the people can say that it is a blessing to suffer a loss, but if they fall into the court, if they suffer a loss, it is dereliction of duty!" knew that he was at a loss, but he didn't stop it in time and recover the loss, but instead had a vegetarian meal and was indifferent...... This is a great sin, and it should not be let go lightly! ”

Zhu Zhanji took a deep breath and couldn't help nodding again and again, "It's really a mirror!" ”

He turned his head to look at Chen Xun and found that he was covered in sweat, trembling and trembling.

Zhu Zhanji said lightly: "Champion Yuangong, does your garden need to be taken care of?" ”
