"That's what happened... Well, actually I always feel that Yu Qinggao's handling of this is not very good. It's just that the Qin girl is..." Yun Zheng said with a frown.
"Well, it's a bit too light." Lin Yuyan nodded and said.
"Hmm...ah? What!" Yun Zheng said smoothly, and suddenly realized that Lin Yuyan said it was too light instead of too much, and he was shocked.
"What's wrong, Brother Zheng? Am I right?" Lin Yuyan opened her eyes wide: "For such a dirty woman to commit such a serious crime, Yu Qinggao's punishment was considered light! When the late Emperor Ruizong was still there, there was a
The crime committed by the convict's wife was quite similar to that of the Qin family today. The former emperor sentenced her to twenty punishments with a cane, three days of stripping and walking in the streets, and finally three hundred and sixty-five knives. Her family was incapable of discipline, and the entire family
He was sent to Xining Prefecture to guard the border... This was a very popular move in Luoyang at that time, and officials and people all praised him!"
After Yun Zheng heard this, he didn't feel the so-called "pleasant" at all. Instead, he felt a chill running down his spine. This feudal ethics... really cannibalism!
When it comes to killing people, Yun Zheng dares to say that he is absolutely stone-hearted, not to mention one or two people. Even if he imitates Bai Qi's killing god and kills hundreds of thousands, as long as it is not a trap for Han people, Yun Zheng will do the same thing.
Come out! But killing is killing, and sex is sex. Killing can only be done with a nod, but sex is different! In Yunzheng's view, since they are enemies of life and death on the battlefield, then the killing and being killed between the two sides
, are all reasonable things, he can accept it, and has no objection to it. However, he is very disgusted with punishments such as stripping and torture that destroy a person's basic dignity, not to mention that it is targeted at women.
Yun Zheng is also a chauvinist, but his chauvinism is completely different from many male privileges in this era. His chauvinism comes from his belief that men are inherently stronger than women and that they never dominate and dominate the world.
He believes in equality between men and women. In fact, men and women have never been equal in any country or in any era. Therefore, at any time, he has the psychological advantage of "I am the strong one and you are the weak one". However, at the same time, he
Ninety-nine percent of the time, you will not "bully others" because of this advantage - except for certain necessary means to seduce beautiful women.
But the so-called male chauvinism in this society is different. It is a completely deformed psychology created to maintain the ethics of feudal monarchy and patriarchal rule. Under this ethics, almost all rights of women are deprived.
In Yunzheng's view, the former kind of machismo produces gentlemen, while the latter type produces perverts.
People always have a "class position". Noble people and despicable people cannot agree on the same views on the same matter. Yunzheng obviously thinks that he is a gentleman, so he has a strong "exclusivity" for ideas that are contrary to his.
In the deepest part of his heart, the idea of "improving the system" was a little bit imminent, because the knowledge he had learned told him that the impact of a certain great man on society would not be greater than the impact of a good system on society.
Yun Zheng has had an extravagant hope in his heart since the second day he came to this world, that is, he can bring some new ideas to this era. It would be better if he could also formulate some specific laws.
Of course, Yun Zheng quickly shook his head. He knew that this was just a wishful thinking. At least for now, the Wei Dynasty did not appoint him, Marshal Yun, to preside over any inexplicable reforms, whether it was possible reforms or revolutions.
People's dissatisfaction with the existing system requires a sufficient mass base. It is the so-called "inevitable result of the incompatibility of production relations with the development of productive forces." The current Wei Dynasty, even if there are some symptoms, has obviously not reached the level of production.
Relationships restrict the development of productivity. Therefore, Yunzheng cut off his train of thought in a clear mind.
"So that's it...well...you know I'm not very good at these things," Yun Zheng said with a smile, as if what he just said had no impact on him at all.
Lin Yuyan just smiled. She had no intention of continuing to talk about this issue in depth. A smart woman knows when to say something and when to never say anything again. Although Lin Yuyan is not old, she grew up in the royal family and was deeply loved by the emperor.
The princess who was loved by her father was very good at observing people's emotions. How could she talk about it again when she found out that Yunzheng was obviously not interested in it? So she quickly changed the topic to another topic.
"Brother Zheng, Zhang Xiong was here just now."
"Zhang Xiong?" Yun Zheng was stunned for a moment, "Who is he?"
"Oh!" Lin Yuyan slapped her head, "I forgot to introduce this Zhang Xiong, whose courtesy name is Weijie. He is from Zhongxiang, Hubei. He is the head of the Zhang family in Zhongxiang. Zhang Ang, the governor of Jiangxi, is his father. The Zhang family is a wealthy family in Zhongxiang.
The family not only has vast hectares of fertile land, but also has many other properties... This Zhang Xiong is only twenty years old and is said to be quite intelligent. He was a Jinshi the year before last and is now promoted by Ren Tong of the Shipping Department of Yangzhou City. This time he was promoted
The Shipping Secretary of Yangzhou promoted Liu Peng to send him to cooperate with us."
Tiju is the top leader of a prefecture-level municipal shipping department. His title is from the fifth rank. In later generations, it means that the director is the same as Tiju. It is similar to "executive deputy director". His rank is from the sixth rank. As a regular Jinshi
For someone who is a child of an aristocratic family, and whose father is still striving for a powerful position such as the governor of Jiangxi, Yun Zheng went from the seventh rank to the sixth rank in two years. Although it cannot be said to be slow, at least it is not fast. This makes Yun Zheng
I was thinking in my heart, could it be that this kid knows how to read but not how to do things?
In fact, this is because Yun Zheng did not think about it carefully. You must know that civil servants and military generals are different, especially those civil servants who are not from the family of the eight founding princes. It is impossible to compare with Yun Zheng, the prince of Yun Kingdom, who has two provinces. Military generals
, as long as you fight well, you will have more opportunities to be promoted, not to mention the direct descendants of the four Lengjiang families in Yunzhou, like Yun Zheng, the eldest son, the young prince, just won a battle, and he would have the opportunity to sit on the second rank out of thin air.
The high position of a high-ranking official - although his second-rank position is a bit unexpected, as he is a new addition to the army after all, it also shows that military commanders only look at family background and ability, while civil servants, no matter how good you are, smart or capable, you still have to
According to the official practice, one starts from the grassroots level as a county magistrate or a petty official in the six bureaus, and gradually gets enough qualifications before being able to join the Jinluan Hall station class. Even those who are directly from the civil servants and Shikoku Dukes can only be promoted faster than ordinary people.
, and his “path” to promotion is no different from others.
The only strange thing about Zhang Xiong's identity is how did he end up in the Shipping Department? You must know that although the Wei Dynasty did not suppress business very much, the status of merchants was still not high, and Zhang Xiong, a member of the Zhongxiang Zhang family,
With a family background and a father who is the governor of a province, he should be able to work as a magistrate in a large county town, but he actually went to the Shibo Bureau, which is really puzzling.
However, Yun Zheng didn't think much about it at the moment. He just smiled and said, "That's right...wait, you said he will cooperate with us? What will he do to cooperate with us?"
Lin Yuyan said coquettishly: "Brother Zheng, what have you been thinking about all day long! Aren't we going to build a fleet to sell iron farm tools to those foreign countries? Since we want to trade with foreign countries, we naturally have to deal with the shipping department! From Huai'an
The fleet going out to sea is also under the management of Yangzhou, and Liu Peng, the Yangzhou Shipping Secretary, cannot leave the jurisdiction, so he had to send his deputy to handle our matter this time."
Yun Zheng chuckled and said: "The case just now was a bit bizarre. I was still wondering why Yu Qinggao was so smart..." When he said this, he suddenly stopped smiling and turned into surprise: "Zhang Xiong is here to cooperate with us? But?
How did he know we were going to do this?"
Lin Yuyan smiled and said: "Of course my father let them know."
Yun Zheng was surprised: "Did the emperor ask them to cooperate?" He suddenly became a little embarrassed: "I thought the emperor must have wanted me to suffer more before he agreed..."
Lin Yuyan pursed her lips: "How can my father be as stingy as you say?"
Yun Zheng thought to himself, your father loved you in every possible way and was generous and generous, but to our old Yun family, he was like the Yan Jiansheng in "The Scholars" who was reluctant to die even if he lit an extra wick.
Generally stingy
But of course he couldn't say this. He could only smile and said: "Yes, yes, it's not mine. People say that the prime minister's belly can support a boat. Then the emperor's belly can naturally support even the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. How can it be possible?"
Do you care about such a small thing?"
Only then did Lin Yuyan laugh, her eyes turned into crescent moons, and her little head tilted, like a proud peacock: "That's natural. If I, the thirteenth, take action, are you afraid that my father will not agree?"
Yunzheng was immediately amused by her appearance.
Lin Yuyan suddenly said mysteriously: "And, there is another surprise this time!"
Seeing that she looked interesting, Yun Zheng became happy and said with a smile: "Oh? Why don't you tell me quickly?"
Lin Yuyan moved her chair towards Yun Zheng, and then said: "Everything else about our plan this time has been discussed, but there is one problem that has been ignored!"
Yun Zheng was stunned and asked: "What's the problem?"
Lin Yuyan stared into Yun Zheng's eyes and asked seriously: "Does the Yun family have iron ore?"
Yun Zheng's eyes were blank, and then he stood up with a sigh, and said with some gaffes: "No! Iron ore is a material monitored by the imperial court. Our Yun family only has coal mines and no iron ore! And the imperial court's supply of iron ore to us is
There are strict restrictions, and those iron ores are only enough to maintain the scale of existing weapons and equipment... It's over, it's over now, how can we make farm tools without iron ore? Wrong move, too bad move!"
Lin Yuyan looked at Yunzheng's anxious look, but she showed a sly smile. Yunzheng soon discovered this. He was just a little startled, then sat down immediately, and said angrily: "Looking at you, I know
You already have a way, are you teasing me on purpose?"
Lin Yuyan chuckled: "You Hebei and Shanxi have few iron ore mines, and my father has no intention of letting you dig it yourself. He said that you only have so many military households, and you have to fight, farm, and mine coal, so don't do it anymore."
What kind of iron are you going to dig? My father said that Nanshan, Gushan, Taochong, Meishan, and Fenghuang Mountain in the area from Wuhu, Anhui to Jiangning, Jiangsu, are said to be large iron mines. He will send people to choose from these places.
If you open a good mine, the iron ore we need every year will come from here."
Yunzheng nodded, this is an idea... Wait, Yunzheng suddenly stared, Wuhu to Nanjing (Jianning) line? Is there a mistake? I'm dizzy, I pulled the iron ore from the Yangtze River, and then transported it
To go to Yanjing to make farm tools? It's such a long way, and there are no cars or ships. We rely on manpower or horse-drawn carriages and the like. If we get this bit of ore to Yanjing, how much will it cost to "turn tofu into meat"? Those on the road
People’s food, drink, housing, etc. can make our Lao Yun family lose money like pants!
He quickly said: "There is something wrong with this idea. The iron ore will be transported to Yanjing and then made into farm tools. The freight cost is too high. I think we can't even afford to lose, let alone make money!"
Lin Yuyan waved her hand: "Who said it would be shipped to Yanjing? Just ship it to Huai'an."
Yun Zheng hadn't reacted yet: "Ship to Huai'an?" He was stunned: "By sea? Well, it's a lot cheaper. However, it also costs shipping by sea, so it's still not cost-effective..."
"What sea route?" Lin Yuyan said angrily: "Brother Zheng, sometimes you are so... can't we just transport it to Huai'an? We can't prepare a workshop in Huai'an, and then let your Yun family's craftsmen come to Huai'an to work
?In this case, wouldn’t it solve the problem of excessive shipping costs? From Wuhu and Jiangning to Huai’an, it’s not far away!”
When Yun Zheng heard this, he was immediately overjoyed: "Oh, Yan'er, you are so smart! Why didn't I think of that? Haha, you are so smart. This has helped me a lot!"
Lin Yuyan smiled happily and said happily: "This is great, brother Zheng, I can finally help you for once!"
Yun Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then immediately became moved. He stood up and walked to Lin Yuyan, took her hand, looked at her and said, "Yan'er, thank you."
Lin Yuyan blinked mischievously: "Although this idea helps you, it also helps me. Can't I also make more money? Brother Zheng, you are wrong to thank me."
Yunzheng shook his head: "I'm not thanking you for helping me make money."
Lin Yuyan became confused and looked at Yunzheng in confusion. Yunzheng smiled and said: "Did you help me, did you let me make money? These are small things... I thank you for always thinking about me."
The corners of Lin Yuyan's mouth turned up slightly, and she let Yun Zheng hold her hands, and said in a daze: "I did it myself. Besides, what can you...have to say thank you to me?"
Yun Zheng's heart felt hot, and with a little force of his hands, he pulled Lin Yuyan's light body into his arms.
Lin Yuyan's whole body stiffened, and then quickly softened. She found that her whole body seemed to have lost strength. Her long and slender legs seemed to be unable to support the weight of her body anymore. She was about to slide down softly and effortlessly.
A warm and powerful arm was wrapped around her waist. Now her body would not slide down, but she collapsed into Yunzheng's arms without any reservation. Lin Yuyan's face suddenly turned red, even that cute
The earlobes, which were as white as jade, suddenly turned as bright red as bloodstone.
----------Dividing line----------Originally, it was said that four chapters would be updated. Unexpectedly, the plots of these two chapters are so close that it was difficult to divide them into two chapters, so I had to post them together.
Everyone, please note that this chapter is four thousand words long, which is the usual weight of two chapters. This is not considered a broken promise.
Therefore, I might as well say it openly: Please collect and give flowers!
