Fierce “Husband”

Weng Lao and Dai Lao General came to Jingyou Palace. The smiling Yongming Emperor first gave him his seat immediately, and then took two thick memorials and said, "Old Master, Old General, come and see this."

Zhuo Jin stepped forward to receive the two memorials and delivered them to the second old man respectively. The emperor asked this, and the two old men didn't ask what it was, but opened it and looked at it. Weng Lao's hand is a memorial on the economic development of Dayan, and Dai Lao's hand is a memorial on the rescue fund.

Emperor Yongming drank chrysanthemum tea and chewed spiced peanuts, very relaxed and comfortable. After a while, Emperor Yongming smiled naughty at the queen, and the queen laughed too. The two looked at the excited generals Weng Lao and Dai Lao and understood their mood at the moment.

After the old general Dai finished reading it first, he raised his head excitedly. Emperor Yongming immediately said, "Don't be in a hurry, old general. You can look at the piece in the hands of the old lady later."

In front of the emperor, it was really inconvenient for the old general Dai to urge Weng Lao, but he was very anxious: [This old boy is so dazzling! Reading a memorial is so slow! 】

Finally, after about a stick of incense, Elder Weng finished reading it. The old general Dai, who had been impatient for a long time, snatched the memorial in his hand, shoved his own into the opponent's hand, and looked at it. Old Weng didn't care whether the emperor and the queen were present, and couldn't wait to watch.

By the time the two old men have read it, the emperor has already changed the chrysanthemum tea once. Old Weng's breathing was short: "Your Majesty, Empress Chitose, this is it!"

Although Elder Weng had heard about it from Jiang Kangchen, actually seeing these two memorials still gave him an incomparable shock. Shao Yunan's conception of business and the structure of the foundation introduced modern concepts, how could it not cause shocks in ancient times.

The old general interrupted Weng Lao and said directly: "Emperor, Chitose, this old man does not understand 'economic' or 'business'. What the emperor and Chitose want the old man to do, the old man will do it, it is entirely up to the emperor and the queen Chitose to decide. But this 'relief fund'..."

When the old general stood up, he was about to kneel. Emperor Yongming hurriedly got up and went to support him. He was startled: "What is the old general doing? If you have something to say, sit down and say."

Emperor Yongming and Empress Jun personally supported the old general to sit down. After the emperor and the empress sat back, the old general said eagerly: "Emperor, Empress Chitose, this 'relief fund' must be established! If there is this" Relief Fund', the soldiers at the border will no longer have to worry about the future, this is a great good deed to accumulate blessings and virtues!"

Weng Lao also said: "This is a great deal! Great kind! Your Majesty, Chitose, the old minister is willing to donate 1,000 taels of silver to the 'relief fund'!"

On behalf of the old general: "The old minister also donated a thousand taels!"

Dai Qiyou knew that the two old people would be so excited, especially the uncle. Those killed and disabled soldiers have always been the most concerned thing for the old generals. This relief fund has not yet been established, and has already received a donation of 2,000 taels of silver. Dai Qiyou believes that under the leadership of these two highly respected veterans, the relief fund can at least get a lot of donations from court officials. but…

Dai Qiyou asked Zhuo Jin to fill the two elders with tea, and said, "There is no rush to donate silver. We must first set up this 'relief fund' and formulate some detailed regulations. This is also the reason why the emperor invited the two ministers One of the reasons for the old man to enter the palace. However, the origin of this 'relief fund' has to be told to the two elders."

"The old minister is all ears."

Dai Qiyou nodded at Zhuo Jin, and Zhuo Jin immediately opened the box next to the phoenix chair, and saw the golden ingots in the box, the two old officials were very puzzled.

Dai Qiyou said with emotion: "There are 3,500 taels of gold here, which were given to Zhan Xiao by Wang Shijing, a villager in Xiushui Village, and his husband Shao Yunan."

The old general's face changed suddenly, and he stood up immediately: "No way! Chisui, this is absolutely impossible!"

Knowing that my uncle had misunderstood, Dai Qiyou said, "Don't worry, uncle, I haven't finished speaking yet. These Wang Shijing and Shao Yunan are the brewers of new tea and new wine."

Weng always knew about this. Because of his health and to avoid suspicion, Dai Qiyou didn't tell him in detail, but just sent him new tea and new wine, which the old general liked very much. The old general did not ask more questions, and waited for the queen to continue to explain.

"These 3,500 taels of gold were originally dividends from the two of them, and Wang Shijing voluntarily gave them all to Zhan Xiao. Rather than giving them away, it was better to share the emperor's worries and do his little bit for the court. Wang Shijing was a former A centurion under Zhan Xiao's command was allowed to disarm and return to the field after being injured. Wang Shijing said that Zhan Xiao was kind to him, and he knew that the court could not pay enough money. , donating these gold is hoping to buy some food and grass for the names of the soldiers at the border, buy more cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold, and buy more meat for the soldiers to get dirty.

The gold was brought back by Jiang Kangchen. At that time, Jiang Kangchen was deeply moved and wanted to donate silver. But if all of them are donated to Zhan Xiao, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among other generals; but if they are donated to other generals, they are afraid that the money will end up in their own pockets. In this way, Shao Yunan came up with the idea of ​​a 'relief fund', which was discussed and improved by Cen Yuebai, Cen Lao, county magistrate Jiang Kangning, Cen Lao's student Kang Rui and others. A memorial. "

Weng Lao immediately said: "This old minister also listened to Kang Chen. This is a good thing! Then Wang Shijing deeply remembers the kindness of the little general and was once a soldier under his command. Now he has a surplus and wants to repay his kindness. To do something practical for the soldiers at the border, it is really kind and righteous! This rescue fund, the old minister is willing to do his best!"

Emperor Yongming sighed: "The imperial court can't pay enough money now. If we have more generous people like Wang Shijing, the soldiers at the border will not suffer from starvation. After all, the emperor is still incompetent. what."

"emperor!"

The Queen, Weng Lao and Dai Lao General were all in a hurry. If you want to blame, you can only blame the emperor!

Emperor Yongming waved his hand and said, "I am very pleased that Wang Shijing and Shao Yunan are willing to donate so much gold. Although the two of them do not want to be rewarded, but I cannot accept them so readily for their contribution to my Dayan. "He looked at the person whose brows were still furrowed because of what he said just now, and reached out to hold his hand, "Why don't the queen think for me, how I can reward them."

The queen held the emperor's hand tightly, thought about it, and said, "Why don't you wait for the treasury to fill up a little bit, and the emperor ordered to build a monument of merit and virtue for the two of them."

Old Weng said: "The old minister agreed. Your Majesty, the old minister still has some articles and poems submitted here, which were written by Shao Yunan, and please ask the Emperor to take a look."

"Oh? Show me." Emperor Yongming took it from Zhuo Jin curiously, and the queen leaned over.

The revolutionary shock brought by those poems and articles to Weng Lao is like the influence of the "relief fund" on the old generals who are thinking about the soldiers. For Emperor Yongming and his descendant Qi You, who are shouldering a country, whether it is these poems and articles, the "relief fund", and the economic development plan, they are extremely shocking and extremely needed things.

General Dai did not know how to do business, nor did he study poetry. When would the “relief fund” that he cared most about would be opened and put into operation. Weng Lao greatly appreciated the business development plan, but he was not a businessman, nor did he understand the business affairs, let alone how to revive and even prosper the economic strength of the country of Yan. What kind of changes will the poems and articles he cares about bring to the educational circle of Yan State.

However, the basis for all of these to be perfected was the wealth of Yan. The level of economic development of a country includes many aspects, which can not be explained in a few words, nor can it be developed in a memorandum. Shao Yunan just told people in this era which direction to go.

In the current state of Yan, agriculture is relatively developed, handicrafts are second, and commerce is generally developed, but in Shao Yunan's eyes, they are all very underdeveloped. In this plan, Shao Yunan listed in detail the aspects that a country needs to focus on if it wants to develop its economy.

In terms of agriculture, Shao Yunan proposed to build water conservancy, encourage land reclamation, attach importance to the improvement and design of agricultural tools, vigorously develop agricultural science and technology, develop animal husbandry, and give high rewards to those who have contributed to agricultural development. A total of 11 suggestions.

In the handicraft industry, Shao Yunan proposed to improve the social status of artisans and encourage artisans to innovate. For example, increase the variety of silk industry and more advanced skills; develop ceramic industry and other 8 suggestions.

In terms of business, Shao Yunan has more suggestions. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the core content of business development. New tea, new wine, including restaurants, is the aspect of "food". As the saying goes, "If you want to get rich, build roads first." Shao Yunan started from the transportation in Yan country, introducing modern resorts, commercial houses, high-end communities; banks, convenience stores, express delivery industries, etc. A total of 27 suggestions.

At the same time, Shao Yunan also pointed out that education cannot rest on its laurels, and all walks of life need scholars to inherit, develop and pass on. Being an official is not the only way out for a scholar.

On this day, Emperor Yongming, Empress Jun, Lao Weng and General Dai Lao talked about these two memorials and those poems in Jingyou Palace late at night. That night, Weng Lao and Dai Lao General stayed in the palace. The court officials and princes and nobles who were paying close attention to the palace's movements were secretly speculating whether the emperor was going to make a big move.

It was night, but Emperor Yongming was still full of energy. In his arms was Qi You, the descendant of the king, who had already fallen asleep. It can be said that this is the easiest day since Emperor Yongming took the throne. Although the difficulties he is facing now are still in front of him, he at least sees hope to revive the Yan Kingdom. Emperor Yongming has always been thirsty for talents. Now, he has obtained a great sage, and he is still a sage who does not value fame and power, and just wants to be a scumbag. For this alone, Emperor Yongming will reward Jiang Kangning for discovering the wise man.

Emperor Yongming couldn't wait to call the man into the palace. That person can not make tea, brew wine, or do those rare things, as long as he makes suggestions for him. However, in the end, Emperor Yongming suppressed this idea at the suggestion of Empress Jun and Elder Weng. Calling Shao Yunan into the palace to be a counselor, Shao Yunan is like being pushed to the front of the stage. He is the emperor, and he should be the supreme being who holds the power to kill all life in the world. when in power.

And what the Queen said is also very reasonable. That person is unwilling to go to Beijing, and if he insists on it, it will be counterproductive. He is now Cen Yuebai's adopted son and Jiang Kangning's adopted younger brother. In addition, his husband Wang Shijing was once Dai Zhanxiao's subordinate, so it is impossible for him to stay out of it. With what he is doing now, he also has a heart for the court. , To contribute to his emperor, he might as well push the boat with the current and let Shao Yunan be an idle farmer.

Thinking of this, Emperor Yongming held the person in his arms tightly. His greatest hope for Shao Yunan was Qi You who could cure him. Whenever he thinks of Dai Qiyou's unbearable abdominal pain and the pain of the residual poison in his body, Emperor Yongming's heart is cut like a knife. In this life, except for this person, he is worthy of anyone. However, he could only watch the people he loves suffer, but there was nothing he could do. With a light kiss on Dai Qiyou's face, Emperor Yongming continued to think deeply. Right now, he is full of energy, and he just wants the country of Yan to enter the prosperous world as written in the memorial of "economic development".

After staying in the National Teacher's House for one night, Jiang Kangchen said goodbye to his house early the next morning. Weng Lao did not return overnight, and the palace also sent a message that he would be staying in the palace for at least half a month this time. This incident caused a stir among the upper classes of the capital, and Jiang Kangchen, who knew the key, was full of joy and expectation. He sincerely hoped that the country of Yan would get better, and that Shao Yunan's ideas would become a reality.

Just after returning to the mansion, Jiang Zhuang, the housekeeper who came to greet him, said after Jiang Kangchen stepped into the house, "Eldest young master, I have a letter from you." After speaking, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it out with both hands.

Jiang Kangchen took the letter and said, "I'll go to the Yunlong Pavilion to see Mr. An in a while, you prepare the carriage."

"Yes."

Jiang Zhuang went out and closed the door, Jiang Kangchen tore open the envelope, there was no letter in it, but a blossoming plum blossom was poured out. Seeing this plum blossom, Jiang Kangchen was stunned for a moment, then clenched his jaw and clenched the plum blossom.
