Chapter 86: The Secret Talk of the Eight Princes' Mansion
When the eighth prince and the prince looked at it, it was exactly the same as the Big Dipper pattern of the legendary ancestors. The eighth prince immediately knelt down to the portrait of the great grandfather hanging on the wall, and muttered to himself: "Thank you for the appearance of the heroic spirit of the old ancestor, there is really another person in this room of our family, and the country that the Zhao family snatched will be returned to us Zhao Da Yimai." ”
Zhao Chongyang saw the eighth prince kneeling, and he and the prince also knelt behind the eighth prince......
The eighth prince whispered silently in front of the portrait of the great grandfather for a while, and then stood up and sat down again, and the two young people followed him to sit down again. The eighth prince asked Zhao Chongyang again: "I don't know how the virtuous nephew feels after knowing his life experience and the Big Dipper symbol on the center of his feet?" ”
Zhao Chongdao: "Actually, I don't think it matters whether it is the bloodline of the Zhao family or the Big Dipper symbol. The important thing is that if the current officials are diligent and love the people like Renzong and Yingzong, we will not have other ideas. The key is that the current Zhao Ji and Uncle Zhao Huang are indeed not suitable to be the lord of all people, pampering the traitors, blossoming Shigang, allowing Cai Jing to sell his official beard, and the two of them also share the spoils in private. If this continues, the Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Song Dynasty is really going to be lost in his hands. Even if our Taizu does not fight for the throne, there will naturally be heroes who will take advantage of the situation and replace them. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Chongyang paused for a while, and after straightening out his thoughts, he said again: "A year ago, after I learned about my life experience and the legend of the Big Dipper in the heart of my left foot, I was also excited for two days, and then I calmed down and thought about it lightly, and I felt that all this was not so magical. I think even if I have this vision, it can only mean that if I stand up and fight with Zhao Ji or the current crown prince Zhao Huan in the future, there is a high possibility of victory, not that I am lying at home now and doing nothing, and then the throne will be in my hands. ”
At this time, the prince suddenly took over the conversation with a smile and said: "Brother Wang, don't you say, isn't there a person in history who was born with the blood of the Heavenly Family, and was praised by others from a commoner to an alliance leader for a while overnight and became an emperor for a while?" ”
"Brother Wang is talking about Liu Penzi, the founding emperor of the Western Han Dynasty at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, that is a puppet put together by the generals of the righteous army for autocracy, so I don't want to be such an emperor."
After Zhao Chongyang finished speaking, the father and son, uncle and nephew all laughed.
After laughing, the eighth prince asked Zhao Chongyang again: "So what the virtuous nephew is doing now, is it preparing for the future?" ”
Zhao Chongyang replied calmly: "Actually, since I was seven or eight years old and sensible, I have learned all kinds of disdain from the conversations between teachers, classmates, relatives and friends and neighbors. Anyone who is familiar with history knows that the splendid country is firmly seated, as long as the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and solve the problem of food and clothing, no one can easily push it down. Therefore, it is not that life is really unbearable, and no one is willing to take risks and raise the flag to rebel. All the last emperor's rivers and mountains were buried by the emperor himself. The Qin Dynasty would not die if it did not implement brutal rule, and the Empress Dowager did not favor Wang Mang at the end of the Western Han Dynasty. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the second emperor Hengling did not favor the eunuchs, which would not cause instability in the world, and the people would not have a good livelihood, so there would be no Yellow Turban Rebellion......
Therefore, since I was eight years old, I began to realize that the country of the Great Song Dynasty may be unstable, maybe ten years later, maybe twenty years later, when most people can't live, someone will naturally rise up. Then, how should we, who were born in the last days and in troubled times, deal with the coming chaos? For ordinary people, it is a luxury to be born in troubled times, to be able to save their lives, to survive until the day of peace, and to live a few days of stability in their old age. But for adventurers with big ambitions and pursuits, it's an opportunity. If this opportunity is grasped well, some of the top figures among these people will become the biggest winners in turmoil and war, and they will sit in the treasure of God, king, and general.
In troubled times, those who want to achieve great things must have money, food, people, and land. Where does the money come from? Some people rely on ingenuity to grab money, and some people rely on their family backgrounds and usually accumulate a lot. Although I like to study, and the Four Books and Five Classics are naturally enough to cope with the imperial examination, what I really like is the hundreds of schools of thought, especially those miscellaneous studies that have been applied to the world, which are very suitable for my taste. In particular, the mechanics and mechanics, which are known as kitsch and prostitution, will become a master of ingenuity and ingenuity if they are learned well, and they can save countless manpower and money in practical life, and can create countless wealth for society.
At the age of eight or nine, I used mechanical principles to improve the looms and spinning machines at home, and after the improvements, one person could do at least three people's work. Later, the water energy machine was invented, and the water power was used to spin and weave cloth, mill rice, beat pulp, and strike iron, and the work done by a water energy machine was equivalent to the workload of twenty or thirty people. Therefore, the quality of our Wantong Chamber of Commerce is better than others, and the selling price is one percent lower than others, but it makes much more money than others, and the reason is that the labor cost is low. But despite this, just relying on our Zhao family and the Liu family, the money we make is always limited.
So, I later suggested that my father take in a few reliable families and use them for me. With the efforts of several companies, it has also developed exclusive products such as fairy drunken liquor, perfume, soap, soap, and earthen lacquer furniture, all of which are gold-absorbing weapons. Due to the abundant manpower and the fact that these newly developed products are in short supply, they are not worried about sales. In the first year, all the families who joined the Chamber of Commerce doubled their incomes. Naturally, my family's income has also gone up.
Later, I learned that I stepped on the Big Dipper, and I was the descendant of my grandfather, and I might be the one who was destined to return, so I strengthened my determination to save money and food, and at the same time decided to recruit heroes and heroes to prepare for the future world. I have now accumulated more than 100,000 stone grains, tens of millions of money, and tens of thousands of armor and weapons in the hometown of Fang La, a wealthy man in the south of the Yangtze River. It's just that if you want to win the country, whether it is better to win the literature or the martial arts, this may still need your guidance. ”
After listening to Zhao Chongyang's words, the eighth master said: "It's really God's eyes, let us have a genius like you in the long room, not only is the imperial examination effortless, but even the way to find money is one after another, in my estimation, according to your development speed, three or five years later, Zhao Ji, the emperor, will not have you rich." ”
After a pause, the Eighth Prince continued: "But no matter how rich you are, at most you can buy a good position in the officialdom, it is impossible to shake Zhao Ji's rule by relying on more money." Because they now represent the orthodoxy of the Zhao family, before they lose all the hearts of the people, the whole world will only recognize him, and will not recognize you. So, what you said is simply impossible. And Wu Yuan can only be taken from the hands of others, not from the hands of the surnamed Zhao, otherwise it will inevitably be scolded as a rebellious minister and thief. At that time, even if you sit in the country, it will be difficult to block the mouths of the world. ”
"Uncle Wang said so, did he predict that the Great Song Dynasty Jiangshan would be replaced by people with different surnames?"
At this time, Zhao Binghua, the son of the world, sighed: "Hey-this is a long story......
