A Clash of Gods

A very large mansion in Beijing is very quiet. There is a small vegetable plot in the corner of the backyard.

It was already May, and the weather began to warm up. An old man with white hair was holding a water scoop, wearing a pair of worn shoes, and watering with interest in the vegetable field. This was his preference for half his life. From the selection of seeds to the cultivation of cabbage and radish, he did it himself, and his temper is strange. Although the whole mansion is his, only this vegetable garden is the real forbidden land without his permission. No one is allowed to come close.

Over the ages, he has experienced several generations of emperors since the founding of the country. From a small secretary to an emperor of the Great Chu Empire, it was very difficult to walk along the way, but no one doubted from the top and the bottom He came to this day with his own character and strength.

As we get older, many things are beyond our power.

Although the title of Lishu Shangshu is hung, in recent years, many things have only been ordered by his officials.

Since ancient times, heroes are like beautiful women, and they are not allowed to see bald heads.

Originally, he had already prepared to resign for the official, but when the emperor first experienced the war of Qinhuai, Lao Shangshu was not good at resigning between the battles. He wanted to wait until the end of the war, and the situation was stable. , Who knows that the first emperor suddenly collapsed, and the new king ascended the throne.

The little emperor was a monarch at first, and it was even harder for Lao Shangshu to leave.

Lao Shangshu personally managed the wedding of the little emperor and Princess Dongqi, which was very thoughtful. This also comforted Lao Shangshu. After the big marriage, Lao Shangshu managed fewer things, thinking of waiting a little while, Really remove all the burden from the hand.

There are not many veterans who have gone through three dynasties in North Korea. Once the emperor and the prince, the public and the private, Lao Shangshu felt that it was time to leave.

No matter how busy he is, he spends a little time every day working in the vegetable garden. Recently, things have been less, and he has spent more time in this garden. At this moment, it is already dusk, looking at the garden full of greenery, old books The mood is also very comfortable, put the water scoop in his hand into the bucket, leaned on a bamboo chair beside the vegetable garden and sat down.

He raised his hand on his forehead and looked to the west. As the sun went down, everything seemed peaceful and quiet.

At this moment, he saw that two figures in the distance were approaching quickly. Lao Shangshu frowned, and only when the two men approached, Lao Shangshu's face was a little difficult to look.

Of course, he had clearly seen who he was, his son and grandson, but without his permission, even the closest person came over without permission, which made the old man very unhappy.

Although the Yuan family is not a big family in Beijing and Central China, but no one dares to underestimate the existence of this family. Someone once said that the Yuan family represents the heart of the world's scholars. Every word that Yuan Laoshangshu said, This is what the readers of the world want to say.

Qingliu scribes have always been in awe of the Yuan family, and it is for this reason that the Yuan family also has an unusual position in the middle of the dynasty.

Lao Shangshu sits in the ritual department, and the eldest son Yuan Moxian is now the bureaucratic servant. In fact, the first emperor was ready to promote Yuan Moxian as a servant servant, but he was firmly opposed by Lao Shangshu. Taking up the position of a servant, it is for this reason that Lao Shangshu's character is praised by the scholars.

Although the grandson Yuan Rong has no official status, he has a wide range of friends, and he can be regarded as the number one figure among the Shilin in the capital.

In fact, with Yuan Rong's talents and the background of the Yuan family, it is not difficult to obtain a half-time job, but this grandson Yuan has a very strange temperament and does not want to embark on a career. Lao Shangshu didn't take it seriously. Sometimes Yuan Moxian was angry with Yuan Rong for this reason, but Lao Shangshu came forward to maintain it. Yuan Moxian was in awe of Lao Shangshu. Since Yuan Rong had the backing of Lao Shangshu, Yuan Moxian would no longer manage As long as Yuan Rong doesn't make too much of an outrageous thing, he will follow him.

However, Yuan Rong suddenly converged a few years ago, and the court was about to set up a Hai Posi. Yuan Rong was very active in drawing several families in Jiangnan to raise 500,000 two silvers, and the emperor soon made a decision to formally establish a Hai Posi. Yamen, appointed Yuan Rong as the admiral of Hippos, and Hovers had the sole responsibility for Yuan Ronglai to handle all matters.

The imperial court did not have much disagreement about this.

Since the founding of the country, I have never heard of any Hippos. For the new stuff, the ministers are whispering in their hearts, and no one knows what can be done. But the court set up this bureau and did not dig a silver or two. It was Yuan Rong who raised the silver two by himself. In addition, the Yuan family has a very good reputation. Now, Grand Prince Yuan is also serving for the court, and the officials will naturally not be embarrassed with the Yuan family.

More importantly, the trade with the overseas was almost controlled by the East China Sea family. Although the tax was paid to the household every year, the tax paid was only one of ten. Direct control of overseas trade is in the hands of the imperial court, and it can bring large sums of money to the imperial court every year, which is of course an undesirable thing.

Therefore, after the establishment of Hippos, the relevant government offices also actively cooperated.

Yuan Rong personally went to the East China Sea to make a merchant ship and to establish a trade transfer station. This is easy to say, but it really is a lot of things to do. The major merchants and Tianjia in Jiangnan are responsible for supplying goods. However, for other things, Yuan Rong still asked people to do it step by step.

Because of his busy affairs, Lao Shangshu often couldn't see his grandson for ten days and a half months. At this moment, Yuan Moxian and his son came to see him. Although he was a little unhappy without his permission, after all, the grandson came and his face eased.

Yuan Moxian and his son came forward, and Lao Shangshu looked at each other's words. When they saw that both of them were a little ugly, they knew they were in trouble, but they were also calm.

"father!"

Yuan Moxian bowed his hands, and Yuan Rong also saluted the old scholars in the back. The book was fragrant and the etiquette was the most important thing. Even if there were no other people, the Yuan family would not lose the etiquette.

Lao Shangshu nodded slightly and glanced at Yuan Rong before saying: "Has something happened to Hypos?"

Yuan Rong stepped forward and said: "Grandpa, not only something went wrong, but ... it was still a big deal!"

"Major event?" Lao Shangshu raised his hand to caress: "When Haibosi was first established, I told you, or not to do it, since it is done, there are always a lot of troubles, then you have to know the difficulty And above all, solve them one by one. "

Yuan Rong said with a bitter smile: "Grandpa, to say that it is completely a matter of Haibosi, it is actually not a matter of fact, but it is only somewhat involved with Haibosi." Yuan Moxian glanced at Yuan Moxian, and said: "You will Even if you tell your grandpa, do n’t hide it. "

"Yes!" Yuan Rongwei pondered, and then said: "Grandpa, this court of Haibosi did not set aside money. You know this."

"Well." Lao Shangshu nodded slightly: "Don't you raise the silver two yourself? Is it enough silver?"

"It's not that the money is not enough." Yuan Rong approached Laoshangshu: "The money raised is naturally more than enough. Since the last year, the merchant ship was built. The Jiang family used to conduct overseas trade, and it already has a fleet, and Governor Xin is not bad. Those merchant ships had already belonged to the East China Sea Marine Division, but Governor Xin still transferred two ships from the inside to us, and the new ship was built according to the style of the previous merchant ship. In addition, the route and sailors and many other things It ’s all done. The first set of trade preparations will start in August and September. "

Lao Shangshu said: "Since everything is ready, what's the problem?"

"Tianjia Pharmaceutical." Yuan Rong whispered: "Hu Guogong once explained that this Tianjia Pharmaceutical has a share in Haibosi. All kinds of medicinal materials must be walked from Tianjia Medicine. Tianjia Medicine was originally prepared. These two Many medicinal materials in Japan should be shipped to the East China Sea. Before leaving, I plan to check the accounts with the Tianjia Pharmaceuticals. After all, she is a person who protects the country. It is all about the Tianjia business. I am doing it myself .....! " He even lowered his voice and said: "But I didn't know until now that the owner of Tianjia Pharmaceutical was actually put in prison!"

"Put into prison?" Lao Shangshu was also startled: "What happened to that?"

"I heard that something happened at the Tai Hospital." Yuan Rong said: "The medicine of the Tai Hospital has always been supplied by the Tianjia Pharmaceutical Company. However, the Tai Hospital said the other day that the Tianjia Pharmaceutical Company was sub-charged and taken seriously. This matter was handed over to the Kyoto prefecture. Early in the morning, Tiezheng of the Kyoto prefecture sent someone to imprison Tian Dong's family. "

Lao Shangshu said: "The Tai Hospital is used for diagnosis and treatment of the people in the palace. Those medicinal materials are also used by the nobles in the palace. The Tianjia Pharmaceutical Company took it as a fake, wasn't it the case to find death?"

Yuan Rongdao said: "Grandpa, even the traffickers know that the Tai Hospital is looking for the nobles. Does n’t the Tianjia medicine practice know this? The Tai doctors in the Tai Hospital, though not all Xinglin masters ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ There will always be no problem in recognizing medicinal materials. Is n’t Tianjia Pharmaceuticals sending medicinal materials into the market in a false sense? Is n’t it self-defeating? That Tiandongjia is so stupid, will it not make such a mistake? "

"Father, Rong'er's words are not unreasonable." Yuan Moxian finally said: "This case is always a bit weird."

"Tian Dongjia is related to Haibosi. If something like this happened, I wanted to go to Kyoto to find Tiezheng and ask." Yuan Rongdao said: "However, the child is worried about acting presumptuously and may be involved in something that should not be involved. The matter, Natian Jiaxing has a deep relationship with Jinyi Qi's family, so the child thought about it. This matter first tells Jinyi Qi's family and it seems better to let Jinyi Qi's family come forward. "

Yuan Moxian nodded slightly and said, "You are not stupid about this matter, knowing that you can't easily start."

"But before he arrived at the Huguo Mansion, the child was stopped at the street." Yuan Rong looked stern and whispered: "The people in the criminal department ambushed around the Huguo Mansion, leading to every one of the Huguo Mansion. There are people from the Criminal Department on the streets. They asked the children where to go. When the children talked about the government, they let the children leave quickly. "

Lao Shangshu's face tightened, frowning: "You mean ... Huguo Gongfu was stared by the criminal department?"
