On the seventh day of April, the spring is bright.
Early in the morning, there were more than a dozen carriages in front of the Guardian Gongfu. There were endless streams of servants and maids at home.
All.
The people of the left recently watched the busy servants in front of the Guardian Gongfu door, and they all knew that the Guo Guorong family would have to travel around. After entering April, the spring has come completely.
Noble people have gone out of the best season for traveling in spring.
After half of Chen Shi, Zhang's wife and concubine, who was graceful, went out to board the car one after another. Soon after, dozens of rider cavalry came from the long street, and Zhang Yanling, the guardian of the country, also went out of the horse.
Stocking.
During this time, Zhang Yanling was not easy. In addition to accepting various banquet invitations, he was still busy with two major events.
The first one is the consent of Zhang Lun. In the group camp, select the soldiers and horses from abroad, as a rotation and supplement to the overseas garrison.
The preliminary selection of 5,000 soldiers can completely rotate the soldiers and horses who still stay in various ports overseas. After one month of strengthening training, these soldiers will lead Zhang Yin to lead the Hainan.
Zhang Yin was appointed by the Governor of Manjia, as long as Zhu Houzhao returned to Beijing to approve the appointment, he could lead to the army overseas.
People have already been left -handed, and naturally they cannot separate them from their families. Wife -minded children take over for a period of time. Anyway, the business ships are frequent afterwards, and it is very convenient to return to Daming.
Another thing is to draft all kinds of encouragement of marine trade, encourage mulberry and handicraft workshops. As a policy that must be supported after the sea trade, it must complete the court's certification as soon as possible, and it can be promulgated as a policy before it can in order
Let the people in the world be able to really invest with peace of mind.
Although in the past two years, there have been some people who have smelled the taste inside Daming dare to be the first, and they have already started a large area of silk mulberry planting.
And some dare to do what the bold landlords who know the news dare to do.
For example, when the Nanjing Longjiang Shipyard began to build iron armored warships and large sea ships, there were businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang through various channels to learn that the protection of the Guardian Public Police has led the fleet to the sea. It is necessary to truly open up the sea trade route.
When some of them were hesitant, the other people had actively started action. They started placing orders and starting a workshop to prepare for the subsequent sea trade.
This actually requires guts and courage, and can even be regarded as a speculative behavior. But in fact, the chance of making a lot of money is often dare to act when others are still hesitating.
It is a lot of money. Of course, if the judgment is wrong, the speculation is lost, and the pain will also suffer.
As the so -called risk and opportunities coexist, it means this.
For those who dare to act, they smelled the upcoming opportunities from the actions of the court and the Guo Guo. When others dare not act, they dare to take risks. They need to taste the first cake. This requires great courage.
Because of this, most of those who dare to take action are actually big businessmen, big landowners, and powerful people. Firstly, they are well-informed and know the inside story. Secondly, they can bear the losses even if the speculation fails.
But for the vast majority of ordinary businessmen, and even ordinary people, they dare not take such a big gamble.
This is their idea of catching rabbits before flying hawks, and keeping things steady. In fact, this is not because they are not courageous enough, but because they are not able to tolerate failure enough. Once they fail, the efforts of previous decades or even generations will be lost.
If they are all buried, the whole family will starve.
But for Zhang Yanling, what he wants is not big businessmen and big landowners to share the cake. In that case, it will not promote the Ming Dynasty enough. Of course, he needs big businessmen and big landowners to participate in it. Without them, it will not be possible. But extensive
Benefiting the people and ordinary businesses is Zhang Yanling’s most hoped-for result.
People in every link of the production and circulation of goods can benefit, and they can all benefit from the expansion of sea trade routes. Only then will there be more profound and widespread changes in all walks of life in the Ming Dynasty. It will also maximize the
It began to change the concept that people in the Ming Dynasty only relied on farming to make a living.
Therefore, the imperial court officially promulgated formal edicts on sericulture, textiles, ceramics, etc., as the imperial decree and policy, so as to reassure the people, and this was the necessary means to promote all of this.
Zhang Yanling even had an extremely bold suggestion. He planned to propose to the imperial court the establishment of two pilot sites to carry out a series of transformations in the handicraft and plantation industries in a policy-biased manner. He would learn from experience and lessons to better advance this matter.
The advantage of doing this is that it can dispel the doubts of some people in the court and minimize the impact on the inherent economic model of the Ming Dynasty. After all, only two state capitals were selected.
The location selection of these two places must be a place with convenient transportation and a large population, and can quickly serve as a demonstration. Zhang Yanling's initial consideration is Guangzhou and Nanjing, the capital of the country. One is by the sea, and the other is by the river, both of which were once seaside.
It is a place where trade is prosperous and the basic conditions in all aspects are extremely suitable.
Of course, all this needs Zhu Houzhao's approval.
The wives and concubines of the Zhang family felt a little distressed when they saw that although Zhang Yanling claimed to be recuperating at home, he was still busy every day. So Xu Wanyi suggested that the whole family go on a trip for two days. Zhang Yanling should also go to the Wild Dog Ridge Arsenal in Xishan Manor to have a look.
He agreed to this matter.
Although the best outing season has passed on the sixth day of April, everyone in the Zhang family set off in high spirits.
After leaving the city, the official road is open, the trees are lush all around, and the scenery is pleasing to the eye.
Zhang Yanling rode in front of the team on horseback. Listening to the happy chatter and laughter of the wives and concubines in the carriage, she felt extremely comfortable and emotional.
I rarely take them on family outings, the last time was two years ago. To be honest, I have been busy in the past few years, spending less time with my wives and concubines, which is really inappropriate. In fact, this is the kind of life I want.
, you don’t have to worry about other trivial things. But somehow you have come step by step to where you are now, and you feel that even family happiness is a luxury.
Zhang Yanling thought to herself: In the future, when things are on the right track, she will resign from all official positions and take her wife and children to travel around and enjoy life every day. This will make up for the happy time that she has been passively or actively deprived of.
However, when should we wait? Shouldn't we wait until the day when our hair is gray and our teeth are bald? That doesn't make much sense.
In a good mood, Zhang Yanling slowed down his horse and walked parallel to the carriage behind him.
Xu Wanyi's luxury carriage was the first one with the window open. Zhang Yi's small body leaned out of the window and curiously looked at the surrounding scenery. When he saw Zhang Yanling, he shouted in a sweet voice: "Daddy,
Daddy."
Xu Wanyi took Zhang Yi's arm and said softly with concern on his face: "Yi'er, be careful, don't lean out, or you might get lost."
Zhang Yi didn't care and just shouted at Zhang Yanling.
Zhang Yanling leaned down and said with a smile: "Yi'er, do you want to ride horses with daddy?"
Xu Wanyi said hurriedly: "Don't tease him. What kind of horse can a child of how old ride? The bones are all tender. If he turns around, he will fall apart."
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "It's not as exaggerated as you said. It's just a horse ride. Yi'er, come here, daddy will take you to ride a horse."
Xu Wanyi was waiting to object. As soon as his hands were empty, Zhang Yanling's small body was dragged out of the car window by Zhang Yanling. Zhang Yanling hugged his small body in front of her and sat on the saddle.
Xu Wanyi was waiting for Buyi when she saw Zhang Yi smiling and dancing, obviously very happy. So she had no choice but to say nothing. Although she was worried, the scene was quite warm. The relationship between her son and her husband was very unfamiliar, and she usually refused to
Having spent a lot of time with Zhang Yanling, today he took the initiative to ride horses with his father, which is a good thing. Although Yi'er is obviously more interested in horse riding than his father, Xu Wanyi is also very happy that father and son can coexist harmoniously.
"Yier, are you happy riding horses?" Zhang Yanling asked Zhang Yi in his arms.
"Happy. Riding a big horse is so majestic." Zhang Yi said with a smile.
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "Yes, riding a big horse is naturally powerful. When you grow up, daddy will buy you a pony just for you to ride. You take good care of it, and it will be your good friend when you grow up. He
I will only listen to you."
"Great, great. Dad, can I ride it to fight? Just like dad." Zhang Yi asked.
Zhang Yanling glanced at Xu Wanyi in the carriage, and Xu Wanyi looked angry. Zhang Yanling knew that Xu Wanyi did not want her son to dance with a gun, use a stick, and kill people. She had always hoped that her son would study hard and grow up to be a gentle and gentle man.
A learned man.
"Do you want to be like dad? Riding horses and fighting?" Zhang Yanling asked with a smile.
"Yes. It's very majestic. Grandpa said that my father is the best fighter in the Ming Dynasty. Bad guys will tremble with fear when they see him. I want to be the best fighter in the Ming Dynasty, just like my father."
Zhang Yi said.
Zhang Yanling burst out laughing and praised: "Good son, you are indeed my Zhang Yanling's son. He is ambitious. When you are older, daddy will take you to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds."
Zhang Yi clapped his chubby little hands and cheered.
Xu Wanyi couldn't listen anymore and said angrily: "Don't say this, he will take it seriously later."
Zhang Yanling said: "So what if it's serious? I just want to be a strong man. Will my son, Zhang Yanling, have to be a weakling in the future?"
Xu Wanyi was waiting for a rebuttal. Zhang Yi turned to Xu Wanyi and said, "Don't be upset, mother. Yi'er will also study well and listen to mother. I am good at reading, and my husband praises me.
"My second brother is not as good as me. If you don't believe me, I will tell you to my mother."
The second brother mentioned by Zhang Yi was Xu Yande's second son, who was a few months older than him. He and Zhang Yi studied under his husband at Dingguo Palace.
"Yi'er can also recite books? Let's recite a paragraph and listen." Zhang Yanling said with a smile.
Zhang Yi opened his mouth and recited: "The Master said: It is a joy to learn and practice it from time to time. When friends come from afar, don't you say it? Isn't it a gentleman if a person doesn't know and is stunned?"
Zhang Yanling laughed and said: "Awesome, awesome. I have already learned the Analects of Confucius. I thought I only learned the Three-Character Classic and the Thousand-Character Essay."
Zhang Yi curled his lips and said: "That's what children learn. The teacher said that if you want to learn, you must learn the principles of the sages. In the future, you can manage the world and serve the Ming Dynasty."
Xu Wanyi chuckled, pointed her finger and praised: "My son is really smart, what he said is right, mother is very happy. We learn the principles of sages, those three-character scriptures and thousand-character essays are all learned by children, our Yi'er
He is no longer a child. He has learned this a long time ago, right?"
Zhang Yi nodded and said: "Exactly."
Xu Wanyi laughed again and was full of praise. Although Zhang Yanling was also very happy, she felt a little emotional in her heart. It seems that her son cannot get rid of the imprint of Confucian education these days. In the future, he will be an out-and-out
The people of Ming Dynasty have the same thinking as other people. I don’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
