Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan

After everyone's discussion is over.

Fan Chunren and Wang Anshi left the palace together.

After leaving the palace, the former looked like he was hesitant to speak.

The latter stroked his beard and said, "Do you have anything to say, Mr. Fan?"

Fan Chunren didn't know how to speak.

Wang Anshi looked to the left and right, "There is no one else here, so Mr. Fan can just say whatever he wants."

Fan Chunren hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "The official's favor is too great for the champion's palace!"

The dignified official family said that they would give the tribute paid to the enemy to the minister's sons and heirs, and they would be called "brothers and sisters", which was somewhat overstepping the mark.

But the officials still think it should be like this!

This has never happened in the past dynasties.

Wang Anshi smiled and said, "Does Mr. Fan think that this is a bad thing for the country?"

Fan Chunren raised his brows, "Do you need to say more? Ever since the official family designated the title of Kaiwu, I felt that the official family had gone too far. Even if they want to build military power, they should build military power through restructuring. It does not mean that they should let There is a definition of civility and martial arts.”

Previously, both the government and the public were talking about the opposition between civil and military affairs, but in fact, both civil servants and military generals could become generals or prime ministers. The difference was only in different factions, not in different forms.

For example, Zhang Fu can worship the privy envoy, and he can also worship Pingzhang for military and state affairs.

Those who have not passed the imperial examination and become an official cannot worship the Privy Councilor.

Furthermore, if Zhang Fu succeeds in governing the country, it will not be difficult to become a disciple of Zhongshu.

In the past, it was just said that people with martial arts or military backgrounds were not very good at dealing with internal affairs and politics, so being a prime minister was the end of it.

However, since the first year of Kaiwu, young officials have been deliberately supporting military generals to completely separate the civil and military factions. This is not good for the country and may also plant hidden dangers for future court politics.

Fan Chunren used the title of the military year to tell Wang Anshi that even the champion Hou Weiyuan was supporting the government in engaging in civil-military confrontation.

Wang Anshi said: "It is not a good thing for the country, and it is not a good thing for the Taifu's family."

Fan Chunren was puzzled.

Wang Anshi explained: "When Taifu Wei is in his prime, he already controls the center and can decide all internal and external affairs. In the final analysis, it is because of the love of the officials."

"The official family is young now. It is like this today, and it will still be like this tomorrow? Has Taifu Wei never thought about this problem?"

"The ruler and his ministers are in harmony with each other, and the ruler and his ministers are suspicious of each other. How many things happen in this world?"

Fan Chunren thought carefully and was horrified, "So, Taifu Wei is quite dangerous!"

Wang Anshi said: "In the future, the best way out for Taifu Wei is to retreat bravely. It's just a question of whether he is willing to give up."

Fan Chunren was thoughtful and asked again, "What about you?"

"Me?" Wang Anshi said with a smile: "I don't want every family to live together with the country."

Fan Chunren said: "You and my late father are the same kind of people. It's a pity that I will never reach your level."

While the two were talking, Wei Yuan had already walked over and said with a smile: "My two gentlemen, what are you talking about?"

Fan Chunren said: "I am talking about you."

Wei Yuan was curious, "Talk to me? Can you let me listen?"

Wang Anshi looked at the two wooden boxes in his hand and asked curiously: "There were many imperial brushes from Jiangnan as tribute, but you only took two?"

Wei Yuan said: "The only ones who study in the house are Brother Zhuang and Sister Jing. Two pens are enough."

Wang Anshi praised: "As expected of Taifu Wei."

The official wanted to reward all the imperial pens paid tribute from Jiangnan to the champion prince's mansion.

But Wei Yuan only wanted two pens.

There is great knowledge in this.

Wei Yuan clasped his fists and said: "My dear husband, you are busy with government affairs, so I won't bother you. If you need help with the land annexation in Jiangnan, please let me know. I have been to Jiangnan twice and know a lot about it."

The three of them bowed to each other, and after a while, they all dispersed and went home.

Now, Wang Anshi and Fan Chunren are working on solving the serious land annexation issue in Jiangnan.

This is also part of the overall restructuring and reform.

Once the land issue is settled, the remaining matters will be straightened out.

Wei Yuan does have a good way to solve it, but it can only be implemented at the time of the founding of the country.

In this era of carrying forward the past and opening up the future, it will definitely not work.

Therefore, he will not get involved in such headaches.

——

The next day, after Wei Yuan finished some things and returned to the Champion House, he found that Chen Yuanzhi and the girl from the Qin family were also there, and now he was going to call her Mrs. Chen.

In mid-October last year, Chen Yuanzhi and Qin Jianjia got married, closely following Xu Changzhi.

Since Wei Yuan was focused on the reduction of troops at that time, he was a little less concerned about Chen Yuanzhi's marriage.

After all, the two of them have had a bumpy journey, and now that they have achieved enlightenment, there is nothing to say.

However, what makes Wei Yuan curious is that on weekdays, Chen Daniu is either in the army or having drinks with some brothers from Daizhou. Why is he free to come to the house today?

"Here comes the big bull."

Wei Yuan responded casually and handed the two pens given by the officials to Zhang Guifen.

"Given to Brother Zhuang and Sister Jing by the official family."

Zhang Guifen put away the imperial pen properly, took Qin Jianjia's little hand, and said with a smile:

"Sister Qin, the two of us haven't seen each other much since you got married. It's hard for you to come here today, so you must have a good chat with me."

Qin Jianjia nodded and said, "Don't worry, sister, Daniu and I won't be leaving tonight. How about chatting with me all night?"

Zhang Guifen was delighted, "This is very good."

Over there in the main hall.

Wei Yuan looked at Chen Daniu, and Chen Daniu looked at Wei Yuan with a timid expression.

The two of them just stared at each other, without anyone saying anything first.

After the tea time passed, Wei Yuan couldn't bear it anymore and asked:

"What's the purpose of coming here?"

Chen Daniu scratched the back of his head.

Wei Yuan frowned and said, "If you fart, just let it go."

After hearing these four words, Chen Daniu breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"I heard that my eldest brother went to the palace today to discuss matters and decided to do a military and horse business with Xixia?"

Hearing this, Wei Yuan smiled.

Is this what feelings are for?

In fact, military business dealings between the imperial court and other countries were generally handed over to Wu Xun.

For example, the batch of old weapons business with our country was handed over to half of the martial arts in Beijing.

But later, he was designed by Wei Yuan and sank into the sea.

The affairs of the imperial court always spread very quickly, especially to a newly wealthy family like Chen Daniu.

"Don't get involved in this relationship with the Xixia military and horse business. It involves some political issues. Maybe it will be nonsense."

Wei Yuan took a sip of tea and said something.

Chen Daniu didn't believe it and said: "Brother, as the saying goes, the wealth does not flow to outsiders. You must know how much profit there is in the military and horse weapons business, right? I am married now, and it is difficult to rely on those meager salary."

Before he was married, he was never short of money. After all, when he ran out of money, he could ask Wei Yuan for it.

However, now that I am married, I am embarrassed to hold out my hands for food and open my mouth.

Sometimes, Chen Daniu wonders, why has his relationship with his eldest brother become shallower since he got married?

Wei Yuan glared at him, "I will share some of the profits from the shipping business with you every year. Why is it not enough? Who asked you to come?"

Chen Daniu's face turned red instantly.

Wei Yuan said impatiently: "It's those boys from Daizhou who want you to win the business of these weapons and horses?"

Chen Daniu said ‘hmm’.

Wei Yuan said angrily: "You haven't eaten anything in the bowl yet, so you're looking into the pot?!"

Chen Daniu said bravely: "Brother, it's difficult!"

"There is a lot of money in Bianjing. Just going out to have a drink will cost hundreds of taels of silver. Your brothers and sisters brought a lot of dowry, but we can't spend other people's dowries, right?"

Wei Yuan gave Chen Daniu a rare thumbs up, "The Tiger Marquis deserves to be the Tiger Marquis, he is really ambitious."

Chen Daniu said: "Brother, this military horse business is given to everyone, why can't it be given to our brothers in Daizhou?"

Wei Yuan slammed the table, "Chen Daniu!"

Chen Daniu immediately trembled and stood up quickly.

Wei Yuan said angrily: "You still have the nerve to make irresponsible remarks? Every month, you count your salary and several business shares your sister-in-law gives you, and your monthly income is at least a thousand taels of silver. You... Even if mother sleeps in Guangyuntai all day, she can’t afford that much money, right?”

"I know that you are loyal. No one among Xu Changzhi and the others is as loyal as you. Today, brother Daizhou wants to have a drink, so you treat him. Tomorrow, when the military commander Pao Ze wants to have a drink, you treat him too."

"You brought all the seven aunts and eight aunts from your hometown to the capital, and asked them to make a living with the imperial merchants. Don't think I don't know!"

"Do you think you can make the decision under the emperor's feet? Why don't you just stop calling me eldest brother from now on? I'll call you eldest brother and you take care of my livelihood. How about that?"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Daniu was immediately startled. He quickly knelt down and said, "Brother, I know my mistake!"

Wei Yuan snorted coldly, "You are right, how could you be wrong? You should be more loyal!"

Chen Daniu was ashamed.

At this time, Qin Jianjia, who was hiding behind the screen, couldn't listen anymore and hurriedly came out to help Da Niu up, but Da Niu refused.

Qin Jianjia said: "I told you why you came to look for the champion today. That's why you came here. Let's go. Even if you spend my dowry, you won't be able to spend it all in a short while."

Chen Daniu said angrily: "You bitch, what do you know? Stay alone!"

Wei Yuan laughed angrily, "It's better for you, your ladies, to help you speak, but why are you blaming your ladies? Get up! Who can show you such a gesture?"

Zhang Guifen went to help Chen Daniu again, "Brothers Daniu, we are all family members, get up quickly."

After a pause, he looked at Wei Yuan again, "Brother Daniu is one of our family members. He has followed him through life and death for many years. If you have something to say, can't you just say it nicely?"

Wei Yuan sat on the chair and said dejectedly: "This military and horse business with Xixia involves national policy. If you are not careful, it will be doomed. If you can really give it, why do you need him to say this in person?"

After a pause, he looked at Chen Daniu who was being helped up by Zhang Guifen.

"We usually call you stupid, but you can't really be stupid. You are already a Marquis, the commander of an army, and the pillar of the country. If you continue like this, sooner or later you will be drunk."

"There is also a saying about righteousness. It doesn't mean that you treat that Hu to a feast today and treat that Xiaoyao tomorrow. That means you are truly righteous."

"It's better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish, don't you understand? When we let the Paoze brothers from Daizhou come to the capital, we have given them a vast world. If they can't get ahead, it's their fault. Chen Yuanzhi has nothing to do with it!”

Chen Daniu lowered his head and remained silent.

Wei Yuan continued: "This is the capital! Not Daizhou! I am telling you today, and I am also telling my brothers Paoze in Daizhou that since the end of the National War, you have become more and more lawless."

"I remember that half a month ago, there was a young man named Yue Feng who came from Daizhou. This man was drinking in Guangyuntai and beat up several uncles. They all reported the papers to the officials!"

"If it weren't for Wang Anshi's good intention to keep Zha Zi, what would the officials think? What would they do once they let the officials see Zha Zi? Have you thought about it?"

Chen Daniu still lowered his head and said nothing, and did not dare to speak.

Qin Jianjia said: "Master Hou, stop talking, Daniel, let's go?"

Hearing this, Wei Yuan glanced at Chen Daniu and said: "That's all, you can take over the errand of the army and horses, but there is one thing. I will tell Brother Paoze of Daizhou what I said today. From now on, whoever is in the capital again If you cause trouble, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

Chen Daniu clasped his fists, "I understand!"

Wei Yuan glanced at him impatiently, "You're here, let's finish the wine and leave!"

Chen Daniu chuckled.

Seeing this, Wei Yuan shook his head.

If today's Chen Daniu were replaced by any one of the Eight Tigers of Daizhou, Wei Yuan would definitely not have this attitude.

However, the honest guy in front of him is Chen Daniu, the only fool that Wei Yuan can trust with all his heart.

If he were to be compared to someone, it would probably be Zhang Fei or Lu Zhishen.

Because of this, Wei Yuan always has a kind of tolerance for Chen Daniu.

But sometimes, this tolerance often harms Chen Daniu.

Putting himself in his shoes, Wei Yuan sometimes wanted to teach Chen Daniu a lesson, but even though many vicious words came to his lips, he could not say them no matter what.

A little later, after wine.

Wei Yuan was a little worried.

Zhang Guifen personally cooked a bowl of sobering soup for him and said: "Are you still worried about today's events? It's really not possible. Don't let Brother Da Niu do the military horse business. We still have a few shops doing good business now. Why don't we do it? How about giving a few to Jian Jia and letting her take care of them?"

Wei Yuan shook his head and said: "I'll give you the military horse business. As long as I pay more attention, there shouldn't be any big problems."

"I'm just worried. Nowadays, Daizhou's forces are spread across the five major camps, and it has become an unstoppable force. One cause trouble today, and another causes trouble tomorrow. There will be endless troubles."

Thinking of this, Wei Yuan ordered Baozhu, who was standing behind Zhang Guifen, "Bring the four treasures of the study."

Later, Wei Yuan wrote a letter. The content of the letter was about the establishment of the Daizhou Lecture Hall.

Zhang Guifen saw it and asked curiously: "Talk about martial arts hall? Why is this a school?"

Wei Yuan explained: "It is a place to train generals. This school will teach military students the art of war, strategy, martial arts, etc., but more importantly, it is ideological education."

"Nowadays, the old nobles in the capital look down on us, the children of Daizhou. They just think that most of the children of Daizhou are rough men who don't know any words and only know how to fight and kill."

"As long as this martial arts training hall is established, the generals trained here will not become self-willed and lawless after seeing the colorful world of the capital again."

"."

In fact, he had wanted to establish this martial arts hall for a long time.

I just haven't found a suitable opportunity.

Now, he felt that he could no longer drag it out.

The children of Daizhou must be given systematic training.

If the Champion House wants to continue to prosper, it cannot do without the help of Daizhou Group. If Daizhou Group wants to grow into a truly towering tree, it needs systematic skills and ideological education.
