In the winter of Wu Jinghan's tenth year, Bianliang.
The snow only started to fall in December. Although everyone said that auspicious snow heralds a good year, in the tenth year of Jinghan Dynasty, the entire second half of the year was obviously a good year, warm and warm.
The time is longer, and it also gives many people more ways to survive.
In this cold season, the entire Bianliang interior and exterior seemed to be enveloped by a warm current. When the beggars gathered outside the city, the relief and porridge and food provided by the big families inside and outside the city never stopped. And because of Yanjing
Already recovered, at this time the enthusiasm of the whole country for the war seems to have become even higher. The wealthy businessmen and gentry are calling for an early pacification of Yanyun externally, and they are doing many benevolent deeds internally. In fact, the whole country is united and the top and bottom are united.
For literati, Bianliang City in this winter is a place that everyone flocks to. Since autumn, literati students from all over the country have gathered in Bianliang City. Some of these people are here to
Some of the candidates who came early in the spring of next year came to Beijing because of the news of Yanyun's return.
There were already too many scholars in the Wu Dynasty. The problem of more people with fame and less people with official positions has always existed and is expanding. But if the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun is restored, a large number of more seats will be available immediately. In this way
Under the current situation, it is absolutely necessary to run for an official position.
The gathering of literati not only caused the inns in the capital to be overcrowded for a while, but also led to various cultural events. The business of the brothel was extremely prosperous for a while. Although in the eyes of some harsh literati, the large number of words praising virtues seemed to be the same.
It is a pity that there is no innovation, but such a prosperous age is still worthy of praise. Since it is inevitable that Fang La will be crowned, Yanjing in the north will be pacified, and the bandits in Liangshan will be killed, the popular poetry style in Bianliang during this period is a little more heroic than before.
, the scholars held their ink to the tip of their pens, and it seemed that they all had the ambition to join the army with their pens.
And under such a situation, in a sense, a name that was somewhat related to the poetry of Fangla, Liangshan and even Bianliang this year gradually faded out of the upper class of Bianliang after the hustle and bustle of the Dragon Boat Festival.
The circle has become an existence that only certain people know about, and they feel somewhat regretful and puzzled when they think about it. This name is Ning Yi Ning Liheng.
After returning to Bianliang from Shandong, he did not officially join the Secret Investigation Department, nor did he enter the Imperial Academy, seek fame, or appear in any public formal occasions, as Qin Siyuan asked him to consider. Except for his name among the staff of the Qin government.
In addition, during the rest of the time, this hero who had just defeated Liangshan returned home and entered into a leisurely life of "taking care of his wife and raising his children" and "taking care of his old age". There were only some business plans arranged behind the life, and in the leisurely life
The pace gradually took shape.
But of course, for people of Qin Siyuan's level, business cannot enter the concept of "big things" at all.
At this time, due to the affairs of the Prime Minister's Northern Expedition, the momentum was also rising. Inside the Right Prime Minister's Office, which had almost overwhelming power, and the Secret Reconnaissance Department, the really exciting thing this year was not Tong's Northern Expedition, nor was it the pacification of the South.
Only Ning Yi went to Shandong and solved the hidden danger of Liangshan in two months, which was a real shot in the arm.
As for Ning Yi's ability shown in these things, especially the ability to control people's hearts shown in the Liangshan incident, although it is weird and almost demonic, if he wants to do things, ordinary big and small matters will not be difficult for him.
.Qin Siyuan had some ideas on how to use this person, but even after discussing with Jueming, Yao Zunian and others, he was not sure. However, in the end, Ning Yi returned to Bianliang, but chose to hide behind the scenes. This is true.
This is something that is beyond everyone's expectation.
If he were an ordinary young man, how could Qin Siyuan and others allow him to "make mistakes" like this? But Ning Yi acted and spoke with a natural momentum, especially when he came back this time. Although he confessed to others that he did not want to enter the officialdom now, but for the future
What he showed was not a feeling of escaping, but as if he had some thoughts of his own. Regarding what happened to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future, he promised that he would definitely come out to help, but other than that, he seemed to be
It seems like I have a lot of ideas that I want to do, which gives me the feeling that I can’t afford to be distracted.
Qin Siyuan had communicated with him in the past and knew that he had complicated thoughts. After the events in Hangzhou and Liangshan, it was difficult for everyone to see clearly what the Confucian system in his heart was and the ideal of creating peace for all generations. According to their previous thoughts
, Ning Yi was frustrated at first, maybe because he encountered a problem. Since he had his own plan at this time, it must have been because of this. After his persuasion failed, he stopped talking and just told him to give it to him in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As a staff member, he also has a position in the Secret Investigation Department. Although he is more leisurely on weekdays, he can come over when he needs help. Ning Yi nodded and agreed.
In this way, he faded out of Bianliang's circle.
Of course, in the past three months, Qin Siyuan and others may have some regrets about agreeing to Ning Yi's idea. Because during this period, he has not done much in total. If you want to sum it up, in Bianliang
During the few months of bustling life, Ning Yi started a juggling team and bought several blacksmith shops, paper mills, kilns, wineries and even rice shops... and so on.
To ordinary people, these little things may seem complicated, but in the eyes of Jueming, Yao Zunian and others, they are nothing more than small things that can be easily bought by throwing money. Ning Yi had previously
They didn't know it without inspection, but the whole purchasing process seemed to be very leisurely. Ning Yi didn't expend much effort, as if he just bought some things while living leisurely, and then used the resources and manpower of these things
I moved to a manor on the outskirts of the city and made a concentrated and directional transformation.
Only when Ning Yi's interest involved rice shops, Qin Siyuan thought of something and talked to Ning Yi once, mainly about the "leizi" and "windmill" that Ning Yi made in Hangzhou City. At that time, these things were not
It had not spread, but Qin Siyuan had to consider the impact at this time. He asked Ning Yi, and Ning Yi nodded and admitted that he really wanted to do something about it.
At this time, the Wu Dynasty was rich and the gap between the rich and the poor was huge. For the upper class, eating rice was a matter of course. But to be honest, the process of shelling rice has always been quite cumbersome. To some extent, it also decided
If Ning Yi is really ready to come up with things like Leizi, since the technical content of Leizi is not high, it will not be profitable for ten or eight years, but with Ning Yi's ability, in the short term,
It is very easy to make a lot of money in the country. Since then, this rice milling process has expanded and the price of milled rice has dropped. This may not be a bad thing, but at the moment, it is quite troublesome.
"...Although our dynasty is rich and the poor are not short of livelihood, after all, it is during the war period and the logistics are extremely tight. If the Jin people are threatened again after the fall of the Liao Dynasty, this tension will continue. At this time, if
If the price of polished rice goes down, and even those with a moderately affluent family will also rely on it, the shortage of rice may become a problem. Therefore, I hope Li Heng will temporarily seal this product..."
This is just one of the things that Ning Yi is interested in. Now that Qin Siyuan has spoken, Ning Yi has dropped the matter. As for other matters, except for the high-level wine that he had in Jiangning, his arrangements were casual and casual.
He was idle and not many people could see his intentions. In short, for Jueming, Yao Zunian and others who became familiar with Ning Yi, this young man who originally had many opportunities to show his face in front of others has since then
, he disappeared strangely, and started to do some small things that others could not understand in the complex circle of Bianliang.
On the other side of Bianliang, Li Shishi, the first oiran of Fanlou, also had the same doubt in her mind. Especially when winter came and the Chinese club in Bianliang City flourished, she became increasingly confused when she occasionally thought of that name.
When Ning Yi left Bianliang in May, she had been paying attention to various things in Shandong. Later, when she heard about the whole situation, it was difficult for her to express how she felt. However, when Ning Yi returned from Shandong at the end of August, in addition to seeing
She once reported that her friend was safe. In the following months, Ning Yi's name never appeared in many grand events in Bianliang. She knew that this fellow countryman was in Bianliang, and she also knew that he was very powerful, but
Just like the air, he disappeared like that. Every time I think about it, I become more and more confused. In the feast where so many people show off their talents so heartily, what on earth is that person doing...
In the early morning, in the warm room, as the owner opened the window and let a bit of cool air into the room, in addition to the boring and boring singing, there were also the amusing sounds of babies.
"Little girl... get up early in the morning and keep exercising! Good health! We sing, we dance, and wish everyone... a happy new year..."
The little baby dressed like a ball on the bed sat there waving his hands and babbling, showing his good mood. The woman who got off the bed was still buttoning her clothes: "It's not done yet. It's not done yet."
Okay, I haven't put on my clothes yet, so don't open the window. My husband, what will Xi'er do if it gets cold..."
"Su Tan'er, why are you so slow to come out to eat? My Ning Xi is not that spoiled, right?"
In the room, in the stove used for heating, the briquettes that appeared for the first time in this world not long ago were still burning, and the water on it was already very hot. When Ning Yi picked up the child who didn't cry much after getting up,
, Xiao Chan and Juan'er had already brought the basin in. After adding hot water, they twisted a towel and gave it to Ning Yi. After Ning Yi applied it on his face, he pressed it on the baby's face and wiped it while it was still hot.
For a while.
Ning Xi screamed and almost cried in response to her father's tossing. After wiping, her face was as red as an apple. When Xiaochan took the aggrieved child away, Ning Yi shook her head: "
There are benefits to being warmer, and you actually dare to resist." Then he went over to wash his face.
Su Tan'er came over and tapped Ning Xi's face: "Daddy is so bad, isn't he?"
"I've heard bad things said about me."
"snort!"
After becoming independent, it took these two months for the feeling of a family to take shape. In fact, when Ning Yi came back from Liangshan, the feeling at home was still not as lively. Su Tan'er was used to being precocious and managing a family.
Family, Xiaochan and others have long been familiar with the pace of a big family. The rules must be strict, and the master must have prestige. Especially when Ning Yi left to avenge the Su family, and Su Tan'er supported a family, it became increasingly necessary to deal with it.
Due to the restraint of family members, during the initial period, they were worried about Ning Yi's safety and had to adapt to a new place. Life... was a bit boring.
After Ning Yi came back, everything changed.
A family must have such a backbone. After he came back, Tan'er and others really had someone to rely on. In the current world, this feeling is particularly obvious. However, because of Ning Yi's return, everything changed again
It seems to have gone too far in the other direction.
Ning Yi is not very particular about rules. Although he is regarded as a "master" in this family, at home, he is only in his twenties and has no airs. Sometimes he takes the children around and drives away from his wife, Xiaochan and others.
It's a joke, but they are all kind to the new servants. Although some of the servants in this family, including those from Jiangning, know how powerful Ning Yi is, after two or three months, the atmosphere of the entire family has almost become
A completely different look from the Su family in Jiangning...
