"This is not about being decisive, but that I believe in Wenxuan."
Compared to his own feelings, Feng Yong still believed in Li Yi's political vision. After all, he could be regarded as an authentic son of a noble family in central Sichuan.
Anyway, even if he offered it, it wouldn't stop Feng Tubiao from wiping his butt with paper.
"But since it is a great achievement, it is only natural that the Zhang family's mulberry cultivation should be renamed."
Feng Yong thought again, "After all, the Zhang family's sangma will be used in the future, so I'm afraid the Zhang family will also get a share of this credit."
Li Yi's face was a little strange, and he came over and whispered, "Brother is so kind to the Zhang family! Sanniang has been following her brother for a long time, and has run for him several times. Besides, the two houses of Zhang and Guan are one. Since the Zhang family
If you have a share, why not involve the Guan family?"
Feng Yong was startled. Although Li Yi's words were very hidden, he still heard them.
The meaning is nothing more than asking, if I treat the Zhang family so well, do I really want to marry the Zhang family's wife?
Otherwise, why had Guan Ji followed him for so long and worked so hard to travel back and forth, but never thought of the Guan family?
Thinking of the beauty, she even hid it from Huang Yueying for her own sake. How important is deep love for a girl who is so outgoing?
"Wenxuan is right."
Feng Yong glanced at Li Yi gratefully, "Sanniang went back and forth for this matter, how can it be in vain? We need to think carefully about how to deal with this matter."
"Sanniang went to Jincheng to persuade the Zhang family to plant mulberry and sesame. This was the initiative. The Zhang family agreed to do so. It was just a response. How about we do it again?"
Li Yi suggested.
"good!"
Feng Yong was overjoyed.
"In that case, send someone to Nanzheng to tell Huang Ji that she should go to Nanxiang before going to Jincheng. This matter is of great importance, so it would be better to let her deliver the letter in person."
"My little brother knows."
At this time, when we were preparing to harvest the autumn grain, Huang Wudie, as a major grain supplier in Nanxiang, naturally had to pay close attention to his own land when it came time to cultivate and harvest.
So she has been in Nanzheng these days. She only sent word that she would return to Jincheng when Feng Yong was asked to send someone to transport food.
Huang Fupo went to Jincheng to spend the winter as soon as winter came. Feng Yong also understood that, but she went earlier this year, probably because of Zhao Guang.
There seems to be some progress in the relationship between the sister-in-law and brother-in-law.
What only worries Feng Yong is whether Huang Wudie is a stone girl. If the rumors are true, then Zhao Guang wants to marry Huang Wudie, but Zhao Yun may not agree.
In September of the second year of Jianxing in the Han Dynasty, it was the third year of Huangwu in Soochow.
The prime minister of the Han Dynasty valued Zhang Wen's talents, and the name was to send Deng Zhi to visit Wu again, but in fact he was to escort Zhang Wen back to Wu.
After arriving in Wu, Deng Zhi was not shy about his words of praise. He praised Zhang Wen's talent in front of the kings and ministers of Soochow. He said that both the emperor and the prime minister of Han Dynasty valued Zhang Wen. He also said that Zhang Wen impressed many talents in Shu when he was in Han Dynasty.
hansome.
The exchange of visits between envoys from Han and Wu greatly eased the tense confrontation between the two countries and made Soochow, which was under pressure from both sides, breath a sigh of relief.
Zhang Wen's entry into Shu was originally a major event, but now he not only successfully restored the friendship between the two countries, but also gained the respect of the Shu Han people, making the people of Soochow feel proud.
Zhang Wen became famous as a result.
From the time Zhang Wen entered Shu to the time he returned to Wu, he was treated as a distinguished guest by the powerful Han Dynasty. Now, the powerful Han Dynasty not only sent Deng Zhi to send him back, but even praised him so much, which made him deeply moved.
So he went to Wu King Sun Quan and tried his best to speak highly of the great Han Dynasty's good governance, saying that the people in Shu were stable and the politics was clear.
This is originally a matter of courtesy and business exchange, and it is not a big deal.
But at this time, something happened in Soochow, that is, the cum affair started.
Ji Yan and Zhang Wen were fellow villagers. They were both members of prominent families in Wu County. They were recommended by Zhang Wen as Cao Lang, and were promoted to ministers. They were considered top leaders in the personnel department.
His personality is upright, upright, and he likes to discuss things clearly. He likes to use Confucian ethics and morals as the basis to criticize people.
Seeing that all the Cao Lang in his office were incompetent at that time, he wanted to reform the bad habits of selecting talents without distinguishing between the wise and the foolish, practicing favoritism and malpractice, and confusing the pure and the ugly.
He first vigorously criticized this, and then wrote a letter to impeach him vigorously, and wanted to re-select officials.
In the end, all those who were greedy in positions and had low moral integrity were demoted to minor officials in the army. It turned out that there was not even one out of ten qualified people in the office.
This is a good thing.
However, half of the people he belittled were the children of Jiangdong's wealthy families, and the other half were the descendants of meritorious veterans who followed the Sun family to conquer the world.
Both of them came to gain qualifications and prepare to climb up the ladder. By doing this, he almost offended the entire Soochow powerful family.
So everyone was extremely resentful towards him, and slanders and slanders spread everywhere, accusing Jian Yan and Xu Biao, the chosen man, saying that they were engaged in personal affairs and did not act in accordance with justice.
In order to calm everyone's anger, Sun Quan directly turned over the old account and said that Ji Yan's father and brother had been against the Sun family from the beginning, forcing Ji Yan and Xu Biao to commit suicide.
It happened that at this time, Zhang Wen, Jiyan's introducer, was praising the Han's political clarity...
Sun Quan defeated Cao Cao at the Battle of Chibi, and defeated Liu Bei at the Battle of Yiling.
Both of them are heroes in the world. Unexpectedly, they were defeated by their own hands. It was the time when the spring breeze was triumphant. Looking at the world, they already had a sense of self-satisfaction that they were invincible.
Cao Pi in the north just sat on the empire that Cao Cao had conquered and took advantage.
Adou in the west, that is, a child who has not grown up, how can he secure the throne if he is not assisted by Zhuge Liang?
So Sun Quan wanted to ask loudly: "Who else is there?"
But at this moment, someone gave him a loud slap in the face.
Ji Yan said that he chose talents without distinction between the wise and the foolish, allowing those who were greedy and with low moral integrity to occupy high positions. Then Zhang Wen said that Shu Han was politically clean - was this a slap in the face?
Sun Quan was originally a proud and arrogant person, but now when he is so complacent, how can he bear this tone?
After forcing Jiyan to commit suicide, she secretly hated Zhang Wen for praising Shu Han too much. In addition, as his reputation became more and more popular, he felt that if his words were spread, they would confuse the people of the world.
At the same time, Zhang Wen and Ji Yan were both from prominent families in Wu County, and they were on good terms with each other. Ji Yan was forced to commit suicide. Sun Quan felt that Zhang Wen might not have resentment in his heart - no, I had to strike first.
So Sun Quan ordered Zhang Wen to be imprisoned.
Once the foreign troubles were over, the cracks between the Sun family and Jiangdong's wealthy families began to loom again.
Sun Quan's beloved general Luo Tong came forward to plead for mercy and offered to use his official position as a guarantee.
Sun Quan couldn't listen, and finally wanted to restore the Han-Wu alliance in Zhang Wen. He didn't kill him, but just deposed him.
Also deposed along with Zhang Wen were his two younger brothers Zhang Zhi and Zhang Bai.
The Zhang family of Wu County suddenly fell into depression.
"Be careful and walk straight!"
Zhang Wen stood on the field of the Zhang family in Wu County and said loudly to the farmers in the field.
The political turmoil in the court cannot be used as food. What can be used as food is still the food of the land.
After this incident, Zhang Wen returned to his hometown to live leisurely.
After harvesting the grain, Zhang Wen uncharacteristically asked farmers to plow the land, using the Quyu plow he brought back from Shu.
As for the eight-ox plow, Zhuge Liang didn't give it.
The reason is very simple. Jiangdong is mostly filled with paddy fields, mountains and water, so there is no place for the eight-ox plow.
Zhang Wen couldn't do anything if they didn't give it to him, but it was a blessing to get Quyuan Li anyway.
He went to the King of Wu and said that the Han government was clean and clear, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and men and women lived in the wild, which was not false.
Among them, the output of that land was twice that of Wu land, and the Quyuan plow and eight ox plows were indispensable.
So he thought about popularizing the Quyuanli in Wu, but he almost died before he could start.
This incident also made him feel discouraged. He was afraid that there was no way for the people of Wu to know about Qu Yuanli, so he took it to his farm to try it out.
"My lord, Deng Bomiao, the envoy of the Han Dynasty, is here to visit."
The servants will report.
"Oh, please."
Zhang Wen heard this and said quickly.
"Huishu, it was me who harmed you. I should never praise you like this, just to make others jealous."
Before Deng Zhi arrived, he bowed deeply from a distance and said sincerely, with his face full of apology.
"Wen Zi lost his moral character, which is why King Wu was convicted. What does it have to do with brother Bo Miao?"
Zhang Wen sighed.
I felt even more resentful when I remembered that King Wu had just condemned him, but he still scolded his father and brother.
Did the King of Wu really have no idea what the Sun family did when they first arrived in Jiangdong? He actually confuses right and wrong and confuses right and wrong.
It's just that Deng Bomiao was an envoy from a big man, and his identity was sensitive. His every move might not be able to escape the eyes and ears of King Wu, so he did not dare to show a strange look on his face.
"Why did Bo Miao come?"
"Come here to see old friends."
Zhang Wen was moved after hearing this, but he said, "Bo Miao is an envoy of the Han Dynasty, but Wen is now a sinner, how can he be worthy of being an old friend? If he offends the King of Wu and misses important events between the two countries, then what?
What should we do?”
Deng Zhi smiled and said, "In front of King Wu, Zhi is an envoy. In front of Huishu, Zhi is an old friend. The two have nothing to do with each other. Besides, Zhi met the King of Wu a few days ago and told the great man's good intentions.
King Wu, King Wu knows Zhi’s intention.”
"King Wu also knows that he is coming to see Huishu this time. Huishu doesn't need to worry."
Deng Bomiao was very eloquent and honest. Even in front of the King of Wu, he always had something to say without any taboos. He was very popular with the King of Wu, and Zhang Wen naturally knew about it.
Since he said he had permission from King Wu, it was most likely because of his request that he could come to see him.
Thinking of this, Zhang Wen couldn't help but sigh. Upright people like Deng Bomiao were highly valued in the Han Dynasty, but the same upright person Ji Yan was forced to commit suicide in Wu State.
The arrogance of King Wu has already begun to show.
The two asked Bai to retreat and walk on the field. Deng Zhi pointed to the field and said, "Huisu is dedicated to serving the country. He worked hard to bring back this Quyuan plow from the Han Dynasty, but now he can only use it on his own land."
It’s a pity to try it out.”
Although Zhang Wen was in such a situation, he didn't want the big man to see the joke, "Since this Quyuanli is a good thing, even if the King of Wu doesn't notice it for a while, it will always spread. What's the pity?"
?”
After hearing this, Deng Zhi just smiled and did not refute.
If the promotion of Quyuanli was not supported by the government and only relied on private actions by the people, it would not be possible to spread it out of Wu County in ten years, let alone promote it to the entire Soochow region.
Take the Han Dynasty as an example. In order to promote the Eight Ox Plow, His Majesty the Emperor went out of Jincheng and stood on the ground to watch in person. He also asked the people of Zhuye Supervisor to go down to the ground to show it to everyone.
Finally, when the prime minister was reclaiming the wasteland around Dujiangyan, he personally organized people to use eight-oxen plows. One eight-oxen plow plowed the land in one day, and hundreds of acres of new land were gained. How many people were shocked?
Only then did the large households in Shu rush to buy the Eight-Niu Plow.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have believed that just by changing a plow, you could not only plow more fields, but also harvest more grain?
Food is the lifeblood. Without complete assurance, who would easily change farming methods?
If the harvest fails, people will starve to death.
Therefore, if you want to vigorously promote it, you must have the support of the government. Even the support of the government alone may not be able to promote it. Before that, people must see the benefits of it.
When the Eight Ox Plow and Quyuan Plow came out, there were still people in the court who were worried that people from the north would take over. But now, look, what's going on in the north?
Even Soochow, who was close to the big man, did not respond. Some people even regarded this matter as a joke, saying that the big man could even fabricate such a thing in order to win the hearts of the people.
It's a joke, Deng Zhi hopes they will always regard this as a joke.
Thinking of this, Deng Zhi shook his head and did not discuss this matter too much with Zhang Wen. He just said, "Huisu, I will be returning to Han Dynasty soon. In addition to saying goodbye to you, I have something else I want to give you."
you."
"What?"
Deng Zhi waved to the servants who were following him from a distance, and saw a servant walking over quickly with something in his hands.
Deng Zhi took the things from the servant and waved his hand for the servant to get off.
Then I shook it off, and it turned out to be a thick piece of clothing.
"After you and I returned to Wu, the Prime Minister heard about you and sent someone to follow you. This thing is called a sweater. It is very warm when you wear it in winter."
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "The Prime Minister felt deeply sorry after hearing what you said, so he asked the people in Hanzhong to carefully make this piece of clothing. I heard that it is made of the finest and velvet hair, which is extremely rare.
.”
"Wu is wet and cold in winter. The Prime Minister said that this piece of clothing will just keep you warm."
Zhang Wen's eyes became hot after hearing this.
"But please ask Bo Miao to bring a message back to the Prime Minister, saying that I have thanked the Prime Minister for the gift of clothes."
"Zhi will definitely be brought there, but before that, the Prime Minister has one more thing for me to pass on to you."
"But I don't know what it means?"
When Zhang Wen heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. Although he was deposed, even if he had resentment towards the King of Wu, he was still a minister of Wu and would never lose his integrity.
"The Prime Minister said that Huishu is too pure and clear, and good and evil are too clear, which is why he has suffered this disaster. After all, King Wu is the master of enlightenment, and one day he will understand that this is the virtue of Huishu."
When Zhang Wen heard this, he felt something was blocked in his throat and was speechless for a moment.
The Prime Minister knows himself very well!
I came back and reported everything that the great man saw to the King of Wu truthfully, praising the beauty of Shu's governance. Isn't it just because there is a clear distinction between good and evil, and I want the King of Wu to govern the land of Wu better?
Zhang Wen touched the clothes in his hand and felt soft and warm. In order to cover up his gaffe, he immediately changed the subject and said, "I don't know if this clothes is made of materials, but it's hard to tell."
Deng Zhi smiled slightly and said, "Huishu may not believe it, but this is made of wool. But the wool is the finest and finest. Even a hundred sheep may not be able to save it."
"How is it possible?" Zhang Wen exclaimed, holding up the clothes and looking at it, "How can wool be made into something like this? Who has such an ingenious idea?"
"I have also heard of this person Huishu. His surname is Feng, his first name is Yong, and his courtesy name is Mingwen."
"But Feng Langjun, who wrote such magnificent articles as "The Road to Shu is Difficult"?"
"Exactly."
"Get off Sanba in the morning and evening, and send the book home in advance. It's not far to meet you, until the wind blows in the sand."
Zhang Wen read the last two sentences of "Changgan Xing" with a look of great regret on his face, "I wish I could meet such an outstanding young man. Bo Miao, I'm afraid I won't be able to send you all the way to Changfengsha this time.
"
It is in the land of Wu that the wind and sand grow.
