The Palace of Peach and Plum

When Hu Chen and Ling Wei first met, he was Sinongqing.

At that time, Ling Wei was not even a child, nor even a brush calligraphy.

Ling Wei brought new crops from overseas to the emperor. His Majesty opened a vegetable garden in the garden to plant these new crops. As the Secretary of Agriculture, Hu Chen naturally has to take care of these new crops.

Ling Wei and Hu Chen have become acquainted with each other after a few years through the new grain relationship.

Hu Chen is a good official who does practical work and cares about the country and the people. Thousands of years later, even if such a good official is not the protagonist in a TV series, it is definitely a good supporting role.

In order to promote new food crops to Ganzhou, Hu Chen haunted His Majesty the emperor and asked himself to be downgraded to Sinong Shaoqing.

This is not the first time he has done such a thing.

In order to develop the agriculture of the Dayan Dynasty, Hu Chen did not move away. His Majesty the emperor thought this official was good, he did practical things without tearing himself up, and wanted to promote him several times. Hu Chen just clung to the pillars of Sinong Temple and didn't let go, and didn't go anywhere.

Later, the promotion of the new food went smoothly, and Ling Wei brought out many new things to the household department, which were related to people's livelihood or military strength. His Majesty the Emperor had a long talk with Hu Chen, and finally persuaded Hu Chen to come out of Sinong Temple's nest and enter the Ministry of Industry, specifically to straighten out the new technology Ling Wei brought.

Hu Chen became the assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry.

After working for a period of time, although the Ministry of Industry Shangshu was not old, he also resigned. His Majesty allowed the Ministry of Industry Shangshu to return to his hometown happily and promoted Hu Chen to the Ministry of Industry Shangshu.

Soon after, the position of the assistant man of the Ministry of Industry was given to Ling Wei.

Hu Chen was very happy. He felt that Ling Wei and him were fellow travelers. Others can't understand him, only Ling Wei can understand him.

For him, the official position is not about having much power, but about being able to realize his lofty ideals.

He believes that Ling Wei is the same.

Ling Wei went from the Ministry of Households, to the Ministry of Rites, and to the Ministry of Industry, from being responsible for promoting new grains, to teaching the prince and other princes and princesses, to fighting floods and disaster relief, and presiding over the imperial examination and the prince’s wedding. These things seemed messy and clueless, but All in all, for the country and the people, for the emperor's majesty.

Ling Wei didn't take credit, didn't ask for promotion, and even resigned and went home every time after finishing work. He was idle except for teaching. Others didn't understand, he could understand.

Ling Wei was originally a gifted man who likes wind, flowers, snow, and moon (fog). His high moral character can't wait to drink wind and meal dew (big fog). It is not what he wants to join the court (big fog), but for the country, the people, and the emperor. Your Majesty, he will enter the court and serve as an official.

The so-called small hidden in the wild, the middle hidden in the city, and the big hidden in the dynasty. Ling Wei is a real hermit!

Others didn't understand why when the emperor was showing favoritism to Ling Wei, Ling Wei could still resign as soon as he resigned, and only lived by the title and virtual rank, but Hu Chen understood.

Ling Wei once said, not to be happy with things, not to be sad with oneself. Power officials are all foreign objects, he doesn't care.

Hu Chen went home and praised Ling Wei, and even quarreled several times for Ling Wei and his father, who was the assistant minister of the Donggong family. Hu Chen thinks that Ling Wei is good, and the prince is good. His father is trying to get his reputation, and it is probably shameful to toss the prince!

The old man was so angry that he said that Hu Chen was not filial.

Hu Chen struck his neck, loyalty and filial piety are hard to do, he is more loyal to the country!

The old man almost got a myocardial infarction. Are you saying that I am not loyal to the country?

How did Ling Wei and the prince brainwash their son? How can you become a stubborn fan?

But then Ling Wei did a lot of important things, and the prince became more and more popular among the people, and the old man became silent.

Okay, Ling Jintang's little guy is indeed good, and the prince also listened to him, and his growth is getting better and better. What the stinky boy said about his unfilial son is still a bit right.

So Hu Chen showed off in front of his old man again, making his old man very heartbroken.

Now Hu Chen is working with Ling Wei again. When he knows that Ling Wei's secret mission is to burn paper and colored glaze, Hu Chen, who trusts Ling Wei, will not think that Ling Wei is to please the emperor and get some useless playthings to waste the country's financial resources.

If anyone else didn't know Ling Wei, they would be furious. Ling Wei spends so much money on those things, isn't it extravagant and wasteful?

After listening to Ling Wei's explanation, Hu Chen was very happy. As expected, Ling Wei did everything for the country.

After the ship was built, His Majesty the emperor would exchange domestic products for foreign gold, he knew.

So he was also making porcelain, preparing a porcelain for another gold, and then he came back to melt it into gold. He didn't know how many dams and canals could be built, and how many fertile fields could be cultivated.

His Majesty said that all the money that the official kiln sells will go back to the treasury.

Now colored glaze is made. This colored glaze is much more expensive than porcelain. One colored glaze bottle can be exchanged for at least ten gold bottles, right? How much gold do you have to earn back to fill the treasury?

"Ten?" Ling Wei shook his head, "Sold at home, at least 20 gold bottles. When sold abroad, don't even think about 50 gold bottles. There is still a price but no market. The next official has to get it. Colored colored glaze, flat colored glaze, colored glaze accessories, these are all going to auction. Fifty golden bottles are the reserve price!"

Hu Chen stood up high.

No wonder Xie Shangshu is thinking about getting Ling Wei back to the Ministry of Households, this mind! With Ling Wei here, is the treasury still afraid that there will be no money to spend?

No, we must keep Ling Wei. Ling Wei studied more good things in the Ministry of Engineering, and if he made money in the future, the Ministry of Engineering would definitely be able to get the big head.

The Ministry of Household held the purse every day, and anyone who took money from it would kill him. Ling Wei led the Ministry of Engineering to make a lot of money, so those people from the Ministry of Households didn't dare not distribute the money to the Ministry of Engineering, right?

For each of these, there are so many things that require money.

He used to be a talented man who only knew the best of things, and when he started to realize his lofty ideal of serving the country and the people, he also became desperate for money.

Money is not everything, but without money, it is absolutely impossible!

In order for the Ministry of Industry to have endless money to spend, everything to rob Ling Wei is an evil force and must be resolutely resisted.

To this end, Hu Chen specially carried Ling Wei on his back and convened a small meeting with other officials of the Ministry of Engineering.

The central idea of ​​the conference is that for the prosperity and development of the Ministry of Industry, in order for everyone to better develop their political achievements, we must leave Ling Wei! No matter which department wants to take Ling Wei away, it is their enemy!

Leave Ling Wei with money! Leave Ling Wei to take credit! This became the central idea of ​​the Ministry of Industry.

After colorless glass and colored glass that can control its color come out, and the trial sales are successful, this kind of thinking has become the mainstream thinking of the Ministry of Engineering. When Ling Wei was in the Ministry of Engineering, he was warmly welcomed wherever he went. His colleagues had brilliant smiles on Ling Wei. Make sure to make Ling Wei feel warm like a spring breeze, and let him feel at ease when he is home.

The Ministry of Industry has always had a relatively low status among the four departments, and the credit has not been easy to get, and there are still a lot of back pots. A series of new things presented by Ling Wei to Yan Chao has greatly improved the status of the Ministry of Industry, and the pockets are getting bigger and bigger. How can the Ministry of Industry let go of this big fish?

What's more, Hu Chen himself also admired Ling Wei's moral character very much. He believed that only a noble person like Ling Wei stayed in the Ministry of Industry, can the Ministry of Industry continue to play a powerful role for the country and the people, instead of becoming a tool for some people to earn money.

"Yingfei, the Ministry of Engineering has been terrible recently." After Ling Wei went home, he shook Li Bin's arm, "All of my colleagues smiled terribly at me! Especially Mrs. Hu! I feel stared at by them. Got it! Nothing good!"

Li Yin comforted: "It should be that you think too much, right? Master Hu is a good person, how could he pit you? Is the colored glaze fired, and the sea-going boat has successfully tried sailing, they are too happy? After all, you are the greatest credit. Woolen cloth."

Ling Wei: "Really?"

"Really, it should be like this." Li Yin said, "Brother Huang has also been happy from ear to ear recently."

"Then I can rest assured." Ling Wei patted his chest, "Scare me. I'll just say why they are so abnormal."

"Successful firing of colored glaze? Can it be fired in large quantities?" Li Ying asked.

Ling Wei nodded: "Ordinary products are almost there. The colorless colored glaze has also been tested successfully, and now I am trying to fire in large quantities. Now I am firing large flat pieces of colored glaze and controlling the color of the colored glaze after firing. Waiting for success. Later, I will burn you a hairpin, colorful."

"Forget the colorful..." Li Ying looked embarrassed.

"Puff... I was joking." Ling Wei laughed.

"...If you really burn one for me, I will still wear it." Li Yin said sternly.

Ling Wei imagined Li Ying wearing a colorful glass hairpin on his head, and couldn't help but laugh so hard that he couldn't help himself.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Ling Wei's colored glaze was successfully fired, and Li Li was also ready to set sail.

Originally, he was just planning to promote Da Yan Guowei, even if he gave something to him, it didn't matter.

But then he was persuaded by Ling Wei.

Don't talk about Da Yan, just talk about the front dynasty. The previous dynasty gave so many benefits to neighboring countries. In order to demonstrate the prestige and generosity of the great power, others sent some grassroots bark, and he had to send back a cart of gold and silver jewelry.

As a result, the national power of the neighboring countries became stronger and stronger, and finally attacked the former dynasty in turn.

The Da Yan Dynasty also suffered from many neighboring countries. This group of people, as Ling Wei said, it is impossible to convince people with virtue. Between countries, there is no eternal friendship, only eternal interests.

If you want to Yang Yanchao's national prestige, you just can't be generous, but will make other countries feel painful.

We want them to see the powerful force of Yan Chao, and let them see the richness of Yan Chao.

It's like treating the country of Japan. They were so kind to them back then, did they have a little respect for Yan Chao?

Now that they bite off a piece of their flesh, they basically controlled their economic lifeline, and the upper and lower parts of the country were respectful to Yan Chao and even the ordinary people of Yan Chao.

Waiting for the talents of the Japanese to flow frequently to the Yan Dynasty, receive education from the Yan Dynasty, receive the household registration of the Yan Dynasty, and accept the surname of the Yan Chao. What Ling Wei said, the future of the Japanese people as a nation under the rule of the Yan Dynasty will not be far away.

In the country’s foreign exchanges, if you are a good person, if you are a gentleman, you will definitely be bullied.

The country should become a gangster, or a gangster in the skin of a gentleman.

It is estimated that there is a rogue gene in his bones, and Li Li likes Ling Wei's words very much.

He also decided to practice this sentence.

Therefore, he decided to let Yan Chao's powerful navy **** the merchant ship and bring a car of silk, porcelain and glass in exchange for a car of gold and silver jewelry.

Of course, if there are any good things in foreign countries, such as high-yield food, easy-to-use medicinal materials, or advanced techniques than Yan Chao, they must also

bring back.

I spent so much money on the voyage, and I didn’t earn it back dozens of times and hundreds of times. Is it worth the effort?

As for the people going abroad, Li Li really considered Li Yin and Ling Wei at the beginning.

He trusts Li Yin's abilities the most, and Ling Wei is the person who is most familiar with foreign countries and who knows how to deal with foreigners. Whatever you think seems to be the most appropriate.

But he also thought of the family in the country that was ready to move, the eldest son who had not yet settled down, the prince who had just been married, and the younger sons and daughters who were gradually growing up.

I don't know how long this voyage will take. He is not at ease without Ling Wei teaching the children.

And sooner or later, he would have to play a big game with the family. He wouldn't be relieved without Li Ying sitting in the capital.

Therefore, he crossed out the names of Li Yin and Ling Wei.

Anyway, these two boys are both young, and there will be opportunities for sailing in the future, just forget it the first time.

The two boys, Li Jun and Li Chun, did a good job when they went to the country of Japan. Let them continue to follow the mission and beat other countries.

Li Li thought for a while, and added Li Hu.

The second son hasn't been easy lately. He was depressed all day by his little-brained mother and little-brained brother, so it's okay to go out and relax.

And don't look at Li Hu's low-key, in fact, Li Hu's force value is actually the strongest among several adult princes. It's just that his elder brother is too high-profile, so he doesn't show up.

But how could Li Yin, who taught all the prince martial arts, not know? Li Ying knew that Li Li naturally also knew.

To go to a foreign country to establish a "harmonious, friendly, and interoperable" relationship must definitely require a strong value of force. Li Jun is responsible for dealing with a red face, Li Chun is responsible for adhering to principles and playing a white face, and in the end, if it is not possible to talk about it, Li Hu is responsible for the threat of force.

Well, perfect!

Li Li nodded, so be it.

His three sons are no more on business than Li Yin and Ling Wei.

Unfortunately, the prince lost the opportunity to go out and see.

When the country is stable, let the prince go out with Li Ying and Ling Wei. He was relieved by handing the prince to these two people.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Ling Wei thought that he would be able to leave the Ministry of Engineering when he was on a voyage.

He was disappointed.

His Majesty the Emperor did not intend to let it go.

Li Yin was also very upset. After the emperor's painstaking persuasion, he also confessed his fate.

Well, the situation between North Korea and China is still unstable, and the two of them need to stay to help and cannot leave.

Ling Wei also accepted his fate.

Also, the studies of the little majesty are at an important juncture, and the establishment of their Three Views is also the most important time. After he leaves, who knows if someone will teach his lovely little majesty bad? Stay and stay, there will always be a chance.

However, Ling Wei still suggested to His Majesty: "When sailing to a foreign country, the ministers of the DPRK and China can join forces... Well, the meaning of a joint venture means that when you return to the voyage, you will share the corresponding profits. This will reduce the pressure on the national treasury. It will also block the mouths of the Koreans and Chinese adults."

After all, many ministers in the DPRK discipline themselves and others strictly. They just don't see His Majesty the Emperor make money. However, if you can have a part in making money, you won't say anything against it.

Li Li immediately understood what Ling Wei meant and said it was a good idea.

"For foreign missions, you must trust your Majesty the most and have nothing to do with other ministers." Ling Wei continued, "It is obviously impossible for the prince to lead the mission every time. Why not think about it..."

Ling Wei motioned to His Majesty the Emperor to left and right.

Since Da Yan Chao already has a warlord eunuch, is it okay for the **** to sail? Zheng He is an eunuch.

The eunuchs who had been brainwashed by Ling Wei and believed that the eunuchs could also stay in history, and the eunuchs who were still well-known immediately became excited.

Sure enough, Lord Linghou is different! He is not just talking about it! He is really giving us a chance to stay in history!

"Jintang makes sense." Li Li naturally knew that Ling Wei had brainwashed the eunuchs. He felt funny at first. It's just a group of eunuchs, what can they do?

However, compared with courtiers, although Li Li looked down on the eunuchs, he did trust the eunuchs more. What he didn't trust was the ability of the eunuch.

But he still trusts the abilities of these eunuchs around him. The eunuchs who sent out the warlords and the courtiers did a good job.

This envoy to a foreign country still has so much money in his hands, and other people Li Li are really worried. It is a good idea to let the **** go out.

The **** has been in the palace and has no heirs. What is the use of greedy for money? What's more, these great eunuchs probably want to leave a good name in history more than money.

Like other ordinary men, make contributions. When later generations mention them, they can know their names and their contributions to the country, not that they are eunuchs.

"Wu Yong." Li Li said.

The **** in charge next to him immediately knelt down and looked excited: "The slave is here!"

"Would you like to go?"

"The servant girl is willing!" Wu Yong said hurriedly.

"You can think about it. The voyage is very difficult." And it may not be as comfortable as the **** in charge next to him, and after returning, he may not be able to return to the position of the **** in charge.

"The slave servant is willing to sail far to contribute to the Da Yan Dynasty!" The position of the **** in charge next to the emperor can be said to be the ultimate goal of the eunuch, but compared to the name of Qingshi, what is the **** in charge? Besides, after doing meritorious service, come back, afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will not give yourself a good position?

"Okay! Bloody!" Li Li smiled appreciatively, "I know that you are skilled in soldiers and horses. Before sailing, you should practice water well. Get used to the bumps on the boat and seasickness is very uncomfortable."

"The slave maid must do it." Wu Yong kowtowed his head three times, his eyes flushed.

An eunuch, who was said to be **** by his majesty, was simply the greatest praise.

"Our country has a long voyage. If you raise Dayan's national prestige, you will get rid of Wu Gonggong." Ling Wei handed over.

"Master Hou, please don't break the slave servants. The slave servants must do their best to show me Yan Guo's prestige in front of the foreign barbs!" Wu Yong looked firm.

Ling Wei suddenly saw the second Zheng He.

No, this man might be more powerful than Zheng He. After all, the purpose of his trip is different from Zheng He. The reputation left is also different.

If the voyage goes smoothly, he is also ready to "instigate" your majesty to travel around the world. At that time, it is said that Wu Gonghui should not be the first person to travel around the world, that is the real name for the eternal age. All textbooks in all countries will say that Wu Yong, an official of the Dayan Dynasty, completed his voyage around the world for the first time, proving that the earth is a ball.

At that time, no one would really remember Wu Yong as an eunuch, but only remember that he was a great navigator. If you add his experience of traveling to other countries, he can't be said to be a great diplomat.

Well, maybe there are great adventurers?

The eyes of the other eunuchs were envious. However, there are still opportunities for sailing in the future, and the princes will not go this time in the future. If Wu Yong does a good job, the people in charge of sailing in the future will definitely be their eunuchs. At that time, there will be more than one spot on board.

They must perform well and set sail.

Even if it does not reach the level of being famous in the history of history, it means that we Da Yan travels in the morning, which is a very proud thing. It is also very happy to be able to leave the palace and wander around.

When they get outside, they are not slaves, but masters representing the Da Yan Dynasty. They must stand upright, speak loudly, and maintain their dignity.

What the **** lacks is dignity.

So His Majesty the Emperor discovered that since he agreed to Wu Yong's mission abroad, the other eunuchs had been beaten up like chicken blood, wishing to be perfect in everything.

His Majesty the Emperor sighed. Ling Wei really understands people's hearts. And the most important thing is that Ling Wei treats everyone as a human being, even a disabled eunuch, in Ling Wei's view, is a complete person who can have his own life.

That's why the eunuchs are as if they were beaten up.

Maybe he sees people too narrowly. Regardless of whether it is an official, a commoner, or an eunuch, as long as it is a talented person, it can be used.

Ling Wei only thought about Zheng He, and also thought that the **** basically had his entire wealth and life tied to the emperor, making comparisons with foreign affairs.

Don't worry, Wu Yong was elected.

He didn't expect that he would let His Majesty start appointing eunuchs as officials.

This affects later generations of mixed reviews. But for Ling Wei, the evaluation is positive. Said that he is a good man with the glory of human nature, a good man with the idea of ​​equality.

The sacred light on Ling Wei's body was so full that it dazzled blindly.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Li Hu was excited when he knew that he was on the travel quota.

Because this list came out after Ling Wei saw His Majesty the Emperor, many people think that this list must have Li Hu's participation.

Li Hu has always believed that he was embarrassed by his eldest brother, and that he did not have himself last time on his mission to Japan, and he certainly did not have himself on his mission to a foreign country this time.

Unexpectedly, he has himself, he is also in charge of guards, and he has such great power.

It must be Ling Weijin's admonishment! In addition to Ling Wei, who else can have such a great ability to make his father change his mind!

So Li Hu came to Ling Mansion specially to express his gratitude to Ling Wei.

Ling Wei said he was confused, what did you say? What did i do?

Li Hu said that it’s okay, I know you don’t want to say it, just understand it in my heart! I remember!

Ling Wei:? ? ? ? ? What happened? What kind of pot is he on his back that he doesn't know?
