Several escorts escorted Miaoyu along the official road, asking about Zhong Wei and others along the way, and finally caught up at noon two days later. Reading at midnight
It happened that Zhong Wei and the others were working in a small town, and suddenly they heard someone shouting outside the shop, "Is there any official Zhong from Beijing?" He stood up quickly and said, "He is right here."
I saw that the man who came was dark and strong. He held up his hands with a smile and said, "My surname is Xiong, and I am an escort from the Taiping Escort Bureau. Mr. Zhong Daguan walked so fast! We worked hard to catch up just now."
Zhong Wei also raised his hand and asked, "Did something happen in Beijing?"
Escort Xiong said: "Our little master has sent a young master over, please help me take him with me."
Zhong Wei was startled when he heard this. He looked at each other with his companions and asked, "What little master?"
Escort Xiong said: "We don't know, we were just ordered to pick her up and deliver her." Then he took out a letter from his pocket.
Zhong Wei took it and opened it and saw that it was written by Jia Cong. The letter roughly stated that there was a beautiful nun who was harassed by Prince Zhongshun in her early years.
Sanyi snatched her out of the palace and sent her to another nunnery. He sincerely did not write the name of that nunnery, nor did he mention the name of Miaoyu. Later, he said that these days, some powerful and noble people came to disturb her, and the host of that nunnery
I didn't dare to stay, so I wanted to send her out of the capital. Because I heard that this nun was very good at tea ceremony, and she was someone whom Prince Zhongshun had been thinking about for a long time, snatched and rescued, so I sent her to Zhongwei to take care of her until the powerful man gave up.
Later he sent someone to take him back to Beijing.
Zhong Wei couldn't help but laugh and said to his companions: "Master Cong, I'm afraid we don't understand the tea house business, so we sent a tea master." He then passed the letter to them. Others who read it thought that Jia Cong wanted them to do this.
The girl was used as a bait to lure King E out of the palace, and everyone smiled knowingly.
Zhong Wei Nai raised his hand to Master Xiong and said, "I'd like to trouble Master Xiong to escort me all the way. Where is this master now? What is his dharma title?"
Escort Xiong said: "It's at the entrance of the town. I'll lead her over."
Zhong Wei said, "I'm going with the escort." The two of them walked to the entrance of the town together.
One of the bodyguards went to buy dry food. The others surrounded Miaoyu as if they were protecting Tang Monk. When they saw them coming, they all laughed and said, "This errand is done."
Zhong Wei walked over and saw a woman at a glance. He cupped his fists and said, "Little master, I dare to ask for the Dharma name."
Miaoyu raised her head and recited "Buddha" before she was about to speak. Suddenly she saw his appearance. She was shocked, trembling all over and speechless. Zhong Wei calmed down, frowned and glanced at Miaoyu a few times, not knowing what to do.
What should we do? Only Escort Xiong said naively: "This master's name is Miaoyu." He then said to Miaoyu, "This is Mr. Zhong Daguan."
An escort said by the side: "The errand is over, we can go back to Beijing." Several people nearby also shouted to go back to have a good meal, take a good nap, and buy lanterns for their son. No one paid attention to the two of them.
Looks inappropriate.
Zhong Wei felt strange in his heart. No matter how this nun got involved with Rongguo Mansion, how could he not be able to protect a little sister-in-law with the ability of Prince Yi Zhong's remnants? He didn't know what kind of trouble Jia Cong was involved in.
When I wanted to ask more questions, the man who bought dry food had already returned. Escort Xiong clasped his fists and said: "The people have been delivered, and we will return to Beijing to resume our duties." Several people yelled a few noisy words, jumped on their horses, and left! Only Miao was left.
Yu was standing in the street shivering with a small bag on her back.
Zhong Wei wanted to stop them but couldn't find an excuse, so he had to look at Miaoyu Huizi and lead her to a quiet place for questioning. Miaoyu was really at a loss, only knowing that many people wanted to catch her, Jingyuan and Gong Sanyi discussed sending her away
She went out of Beijing to avoid trouble, and no one else was around! Zhong Wei guessed that "Fan Yao" was Gong Sanyi from the Taiping Escort Bureau, and was able to solve the matter from the beginning. At that time, Zhong Wei heard others interrogate Miaoyu
, knowing that this nun had nothing to do with her except that she was a relative of Prince Yi Zhong. After guessing for a long time, she could not guess what disaster forced her to leave the capital. However, Jia Cong was embarrassed to send her here and couldn't help but hesitate.
.
Miaoyu also saw that he had no ill intentions, so she clasped her hands and said, "Since it is inconvenient for the officials, the poor nuns can just go to a nunnery to practice." She chanted the Buddha's name and turned around to leave.
She was determined to leave, but Zhong Wei was embarrassed, and stepped forward and said: "The sea has been replaced by the mulberry field, and things are different now. The misunderstandings between our two families have been resolved long ago, so Master doesn't have to worry about it. It's just that it's a long way to go to Ezhou, and everything is different.
You have to start from scratch, which is a bit difficult."
Miaoyu lowered her eyes and said: "The poor nun has never done any evil in his life, but he will never live in peace. This time he is trying to avoid disaster, so he can just get a piece of tile to cover himself. Or if he encounters a nunnery on the road, the poor nun can send it to him."
Zhong Wei said: "Although I don't know why, I think the coming people are fierce and the extraordinary nunnery can stop them."
Miaoyu said calmly: "My Buddha is merciful. If there is no way to escape, there is no need to involve others." Then she took something out of her arms and handed it to Zhong Wei, "I heard that this belongs to an official, so I will return it now."
Zhong Wei took it and took a look, but it was a "free single card" signed by himself. He suddenly felt that he could not save his face. He hurriedly said: "My husband has said something, and it is hard to follow him. I once owed a favor to Mr. Cong of Rongguo Mansion."
, I will ensure that Master is safe and sound. Besides, he said in the letter that he will come to take Master back only after the incident in Beijing."
Miaoyu said: "Why do you have to do it so hard?"
Zhong Wei smiled bitterly and said, "It's not difficult, I'm just a little overwhelmed." Then he cupped his fists and saluted her, "I was a little rude just now, Master, don't blame me."
Miaoyu recited the Buddha's name: "I'm bothering you, officials."
The two of them then bravely headed to the small shop where Zhong Wei came. Halfway through, Miaoyu suddenly asked, "I wonder if the officials and the benefactor who are traveling with us can have lunch."
Zhong Wei said: "I just finished eating."
Miaoyu stopped and bought two steamed buns from a roadside shop, turned around and said, "This way there is no need to waste your time."
Zhong Weicai was about to speak but swallowed his words and frowned.
On the other side, Feng Ziying came back from outside, and his servants replied that a boy from Rongguo Mansion came to deliver a message, saying that Jia Cong invited him to go to Xue's house tomorrow. Feng Ziying felt a little strange, so he still sent the person.
Rongguo Mansion responded.
The next day, Feng Ziying rode to Xue's house. Xue Pan's two sisters were both married, and she felt very comfortable. In addition, the capital was bustling, so she stayed for a while. When she heard that Feng Ziying was coming, she met Liu Aiyun in person.
Come out. Jia Cong has arrived and is waiting in the flower hall.
Xue Pan is now a rich man, but his home is not tacky. Feng Ziying couldn't help but praise: "I haven't been to your place for a few days, and the house has been kept much more elegant."
Xue Panxiao pointed at Liu Aiyun and said: "It's all his idea, I never care."
Feng Ziying said with emotion: "You two have really been together for so many years..." Liu Aiyun smiled softly, and Xue Pan felt proud.
When they arrived at the flower hall, they set up a table and chatted for a while. Feng Ziying looked at Jia Cong. Jia Cong said: "Speaking of which, Brother Xue, your family's business is so big, and Sister Xue is still in charge of many things.
Do you have any ideas for the future?"
Xue Pan was stunned: "What will happen in the future? What will happen in the future?"
Jia Cong said: "Forty years later, you will be old, Brother Liu will be old, Sister Xue and Jiang Zixuan will be old. You are planning to adopt their children, right?"
Xue Pan nodded: "Not bad."
"As the saying goes, time has changed and the new generation is better than the old. By then, it will be different from this generation. The grandchildren have all grown up. Your family's business will be bigger and there will be more things. When the time comes, what you think and decide may not be right.
"My children and grandchildren each have their own opinions." Jia Cong looked at him and said, "What are you going to do?"
Xue Pan was stunned for a long time before he said: "Huh?"
Jia Cong said: "In the future, when you two are no longer the people who know the most about the Xue family, who will have the final say in the major affairs of the Xue family."
Xue Pan said: "I never thought about things so far away." Liu Aiyun kicked him. Xue Pan said quickly, "Aiyun has the final say!"
Liu Aiyun couldn't laugh or cry, she faced Jia Cong and looked at Feng Ziying: "Does Cong'er have any ideas?"
Xue Pan said: "Of course it was my son who said..." He was kicked again and Liu Aiyun glared at him and dared not speak.
Jia Cong also faced Liu Aiyun and glanced at Feng Ziying: "Western shops have a 'shareholding system'. You can try it."
Liu Aiyun asked: "What is a joint-stock system?"
"It's very simple. For example, we here are going to open a new shop together. Everyone contributes money to collect the principal. In the end, the shares are calculated according to the amount of money each person contributes. The more money, the more shares. This is very clear."
Xue Pan said: "Many of my shops are like this."
Jia Cong said: "However, many shops cannot be opened later because the partners will quarrel."
"good."
"According to the rules, whoever has more shares should listen to whoever has the most shares. But in fact, this is probably not the case. Usually it is whoever can convince others to listen to whomever. If someone is not convinced, just continue talking, right?" He faced Xue Pan.
Looking at Feng Ziying, Feng Ziying nodded.
Xue Pan said, "I've never heard of this." He was kicked by Liu Aiyun again.
Liu Aiyun said: "That's because our family has never opened a shop in partnership with others. This is indeed the case with other families. They often argue for months without any explanation." Feng Ziying nodded while listening, and wanted to laugh again.
Jia Cong said: "This problem is particularly easy to solve." Feng Ziying's eyes lit up! "It just follows the rules." He took a sip of tea and said, "Whoever has more shares has the final say, and whoever pays more money has the final say.
It is not necessary for both the big fish and the small shrimps to agree to something, as long as the big fish agrees."
Feng Ziying said: "If Xiao Xiami doesn't agree, they won't be willing to do what was agreed upon when it comes to them."
Jia Cong said: "So let's set the rules first. Small shrimps in this shop are shrimps, but if they are not kept intact in another shop, they are big fish?"
Feng Ziying still frowned.
Jia Cong said: "There is an organization called the 'United Nations' overseas. It is not a country, but an organization similar to a chamber of commerce. Representatives from many countries gather somewhere all year round. They meet almost every day to discuss major issues in these countries.
Xiaoqing. At first, the intention was not to fight with each other, but later many things were discussed. During the discussion, each country can make a proposal. However, whether the proposal will succeed depends on what kind of proposal it is, and it is divided into three types. The first one is
Major issues related to war. They elected five major countries, called 'permanent members', who have veto power on major matters. That is, if one major country does not agree with a major matter, then it will not happen. For example, war."
Feng Ziying nodded and said: "A big country does have some weight in war."
"The second type is trivial matters. This matter is voted on by all countries. Whichever country gets more votes has the final say. For example, if a country's clothes are not good-looking, everyone will scold them..." Feng Ziying and others all laughed. "Actually, the most
The third type is things related to money. For example, Liubu, disaster relief, etc."
Feng Ziying's eyes lit up: "What does this look like?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Joint-stock system." Seeing Feng Ziying stunned, he explained, "Whoever pays more has the final say. Which country pays more to the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Industry has the final say; which country pays more to the Ministry of Punishment
If they have a lot of money, the Ministry of Punishments will have the final say; no one can even think about having someone to help them in times of disaster if they don’t usually give money. If you don’t have enough shares and want to have the final say, you can recruit people into a partnership. As long as the total shares add up to more than half, you can also have the final say.
.”
Feng Ziying said: "Some small countries are poorer. What if they suffer a disaster?"
Jia Cong said: "Let their kings find ways to ask for help from neighboring countries, or simply voluntarily merge into neighboring countries. There is no friendship between countries."
Feng Ziying shook her head and said, "Isn't that going to cause chaos? Let's just pay back the others. If the Ministry of Punishment also plays a shareholding system, and someone in a big country kills someone in a small country, can they not pay for their lives?"
Jia Cong glanced at him and said, "If the prince himself is drunk and in a bad mood and kills people for fun, will he pay with his life?"
Feng Ziying choked and said after a while: "That's the prince."
Jia Cong said: "I'm just reminding Brother Feng that the law can only control the weakest." In later generations, many citizens of a large country committed crimes in small countries without incident. "What we want to discuss is not justice, but feasibility.
This is what I have said many times, don’t expect the world to be what it should be, but to understand what it actually is. Brother Feng, no matter you, me or the wise king, we are just ants between heaven and earth. Today, everyone
The king has been unable to make a decision for many months. This is because they are looking for others to be reasonable in their own weakness, but they are unreasonable in their own strength. If they want them to make a decision quickly, they can only cut off those 'hopes'.
That is, let them no longer expect others to be reasonable, and they will not be reasonable in everything but only talk about strength." Feng Ziying frowned even more.
Xue Pan said: "Can't we just let them all be reasonable?"
Jia Cong shook his head: "No. If our dynasty is unified and the emperor is reasonable, the whole country can be reasonable. Brother Xue, just like water flowing downwards, most people in this world are not saints. When they can be domineering, they are
You can’t be reasonable.”
Liu Aiyun sighed: "In this case, it is better to have the emperor."
Jia Cong said: "However, if you are unlucky and the emperor is unreasonable, then you will not even have the opportunity to argue and work hard. For example, when the late emperor was old." He also sighed, "It's just that luck is not very reliable.
Live. I think the wise king is reasonable, but I don’t know whether his son or grandson is reasonable. Also." He lowered his voice and said, "When he reaches the age of the late emperor, will he suddenly become less so?
Are you being reasonable?"
Feng Ziying suddenly looked at him with wide eyes and took a breath.
Jia Cong didn't check at all, clapped his hands and looked at Xue Pan: "The wine is cold. Brother Xue, let someone warm the bar." Xue Pan hurriedly called for someone to warm the wine. Feng Ziying looked at Jia Cong for a long time, and Jia Cong said with a smile,
