The thirty-fifth chapter depends on the horse to become a hero
Since that day, Yun Zheng would use a ladder to climb up the wall every day to have private meetings with Di Qing, until one day it rained and he could no longer stay on the wall. Lu Qingqing hired a team of carpenters to build an attic on the wall.
The Di Qing family did not show any weakness and also built a sky attic in their own part of the house, so both the Yun family and the Di family would see an unforgettable scene.
A father-in-law and a marquis sat in the attic of their house and quarreled, sometimes throwing fruits at each other like two monkeys. There was no airtight wall under the sky. When those who came to the Yun family with red eyes
After the censor who was in trouble with the Di family reported this scene to the emperor, the emperor went to great lengths to find countless fruits and asked Zou Tong to distribute them to the Yun family and the Di family in person.
This day was quite special. Yun Zheng was sitting on a tiger skin, lying on the table, writing something continuously without raising his head. The most suspicious thing was that Zou Tong was still standing aside to monitor.
After Di Qing put it away and read it, he took out a scroll that was more than one foot long. Seeing that Yun Zheng didn't seem to want to raise his head, he threw an orange and said angrily: "Speak, you haven't read the scroll I gave you yesterday."
Yun Zheng stretched out his foot and kicked the orange away and said: "Don't bother me, don't you know that today is the day of the big exam? I am participating in the big competition, and I will not argue with you until I finish writing this policy paper."
Di Qing walked over as soon as he raised his legs, stretched his neck, took a look at Yun Zheng's strategy, squinted his eyes and read: "Slaughter Niutan kills twelve cows in one day, and those who can't stop with their blades will be beaten, skinned and cut.
Everyone understands. As for the place of the hip and thigh, it is not a pound but an axe. A husband's benevolence, righteousness and kindness are the master's sword; power and law are the master's axe."
What you said is too much. Your Majesty’s reputation for kindness is known all over the world, but you are urging Your Majesty to return to the theory of punishment, rewards and killing. Once your policy is published, I am afraid that the world will say that you are a monomaniac!"
Yun Zheng glanced at Di Qing with disgust and said: "You have only read a few books. I have read countless books. You are a genius. You always use the Spring and Autumn Annals that the old fan persuaded you to read to tell whether you are tired or not."
Are you tired? As a family, let’s go and take a rest.”
Zou Tong glanced at Di Qing sympathetically. These days, he always comes to the Yun family or the Di family, but he prefers to come to the Yun family. Firstly, the food at the Yun family is more delicious. Secondly, he also likes the atmosphere of the Yun family.
, everyone from the head of the house to the servant seems to be lazy, but the efficiency of doing things is not low. Marquis Yun wanted a model of a city, and in less than two days, a model of a medium-sized city appeared in the wooden house, lifelike.
, even the wine labels of the shops above are clearly identifiable.
Seeing Yun Zheng speaking harshly now, I thought Di Qing would be angry. Unexpectedly, Di Qing sighed and returned to his wooden house with his hands behind his back. He sat down on a black bear skin again and said, "I have never eaten pigs before, but I have always seen pigs running away."
Lu, if you write such a sharp article, I’m afraid the examiner won’t like it.”
Yun Zheng stood aside regardless of Zou Tong's embarrassment and wrote: "Even if I scold Pang Ji, the eighth generation of his family's ancestors, on the exam paper, he would still give me the first place in the system and take it away from me."
They took away my merits and dismantled the Wu Shengjun that I founded. This is what they owe me. Not putting a duck egg on the exam paper is already giving them face, and they dare to be picky.
?What do you think of this paragraph?
"One inch of land, one person and a large number of people, what is the benefit of the emperor's death? It is just determined and governed. Therefore, the world knows that your majesty is honest. When the land is determined, the descendants of the clan must not worry about not being the king. There is no desire to double the border below, and there is no intention above.
Because of your ambition to conquer, the world knows your majesty's benevolence. The laws are established without violating them, and the orders are carried out without disobeying them. They are consistent and high, and the plans for profit are not carried out. The firewood is strange, and the plans at the beginning are not cute. The people are good in the countryside. Ministers
Zhi Shun, so the world knows your majesty's righteousness. The innocent son is at peace in the world, planted in the belly, and the court is appointed, and the world is not in chaos. At that time, there was great rule, and later generations chanted the saint. In one move, the five industries are attached, who is afraid of your majesty?
How long have you been doing this? "
How about it? How about it? Is it not a loss to give me the top spot if you flatter His Majesty so hard?"
Zou Tong decided that from this moment on he would be deaf and blind. He would sit on a small stool holding a fly whisk and look at his nose and nose, his mind and his mind. If we discuss it carefully, these two people would have been punished for their rebellious remarks.
I have been beheaded eighty times. Since His Majesty doesn't care, I don't need to talk too much to make His Majesty unhappy. If I can bring the results of their daily discussions back to the palace, I will have completed my task. I must not dare to cause trouble. Your Majesty studies these discussions every day.
The results would come around the second watch, and sometimes some relevant officials would be summoned to the palace late at night to discuss it together, and sometimes the discussion would last until dawn.
After Yun Zheng finished writing the policy, he carefully dried the ink and handed it to Zou Tong. Zou Tong stuffed the test paper into a bamboo tube, sealed it with wax, and asked a young eunuch to deliver the policy directly to His Majesty. He was still holding the whisk and waiting.
The result of the following discussion is that this thing is much more important than any policy, and Zou Tong can always tell clearly which one is more important.
But it seems that Yun Zheng is not going to discuss it with Di Qing now, because his extremely charming concubine has come to bring food to her husband again. When he sees the slim and graceful woman climbing up the ladder, Zou Tong always picks her up out of habit.
After comparing with the nobles in the palace, I finally discovered to my dismay that there may be nobles in the palace who are more refined than this woman, but their pure womanly charm cannot even be matched by the nobles in the palace, and I don’t know.
Where did Wen Xinhou find such a person?
Appreciating beautiful things, eunuchs also have power. Yun Zheng didn't care about Zou Tong's rudeness. Anyway, it was in vain. He took out two huge bowls from the vermilion food box, gave one to Zou Tong, and had a bowl for himself.
, and then took out several plates of colorful side dishes, and he and Zou Tong picked up the giant bowl and ate the noodles inside.
There was also a pile of food in front of Di Qing, all of which were big fish and meat. A full plate was laid out. He took a sip of wine and ate a bite of vegetables, looking extremely comfortable.
It's not that he hasn't changed with Yun Zheng, but Yun Zheng just refused to agree. He has eaten the Yun family's food. The ingredients are not very good, but the taste is really unforgettable. Yun Zheng has long said that his family's food is nourishing.
It's human, it's not harmful. Eating too much fish and meat can easily produce phlegm and is not good for health. A diet of all kinds of grains is good for nourishing people.
"Haha, my family has sent "roasted" today. Boy, this thing is extremely delicious. Only Song Sanniang's "roasted" in Tokyo is top-grade. Look, today's "roasted" is made from pig heads.
As the main ingredient, add spices and steam it in a steamer until the skin becomes crispy and the meat becomes tender. Then add the best lotus seeds and ginkgo..."
Yun Zheng raised his head and glanced at the pot of rotten pig heads and said: "The original function of spices is to prevent food from rotting and deteriorating. It is a method of storing food. When we eat, how can we abandon the original taste of food?
Go after those other flavors. If you like spices, you can organize a fleet, set off from Guangzhou, walk along the coastline, push all the way across, slaughter cities and countries, you can always find inexhaustible supplies.
spices."
Di Qing put down the chopsticks in his hand, picked up a map to read, pointed at the map and said: "After passing the Beihai, we will reach Jiaozhi. Then we must kill Jiaozhi first, then kill the Khmer, kill Siam, then kill Johor, and finally kill Jiaozhi.
Killing the Lion Kingdom is not possible. The Sultanate is very powerful. I heard that there are 80,000 war elephants in the country. A protracted war is not good for our army. Even if we feed the enemy, it will not work. Gunpowder and other things cannot be found on the spot.
By the way, it’s not cost-effective to let soldiers fight elephants with swords just for a few mouthfuls of food.”
After Yun Zheng finished eating the noodles, he threw the bowl on the table and said: "The trade volume of spices is very large. Have you ever seen how rich the big food merchants who travel by sea are? One tael of silver cannot be exchanged for a pound of spices. Those people still can't get a pound of spices."
They specifically want our copper coins, not the ones that are not exquisite, so we can compete with each other and make a fortune when we go back.
In my opinion, the imperial court is setting up a mirage. It recruits a few powerful pirates and issues a decree allowing them to plunder foreigners. The imperial court finds a small port to allow them to land in a limited area, and half of the pirates are required to be surrendered every year.
The wealth given to the national treasury, let me tell you, is definitely not less than the wealth contributed by Shuzhong to the national treasury.
Zou Tong, why don't you go and talk to His Majesty and let me go to the South China Sea as a military envoy, and in a few years I can bring back a gold mountain for our Song Dynasty, and it won't cost the court a single copper."
Zou Tong didn't seem to hear these words, and buried his head in the big bowl to eat. To be with these two people, you need to have a strong enough heart. Di Qing was not bad before, and he knew how to worry about some face, but he was hanging out with Yun Hou.
After being together for a long time, the nature of a warrior is fully revealed. Once the two find something missing during the discussion, his first reaction is whether it is suitable to use troops there, and whether he can take advantage after using troops. If he cannot make ends meet, he will
I will immediately throw this idea into the trash.
When it was almost sunset, Zou Tong returned to the palace and saw that the officials were reviewing Yun Zheng's policy. Ping Zhangshi and Shenzhi Zhengshi were also there, so he shut his mouth and stood behind the pillar holding the fly whisk obediently.
"Your Majesty, Yun Zheng's "Recipes for Managing the Country with Punishments and Rewards" does have merit. Mr. Peng Li said that he is unparalleled in his intelligence and erudition. He is indeed worthy of it, especially this sentence: "In ancient times, when a Lang official came out to be the governor of a city, the public minister
The official who leads the county talisman from outside, so he values his relatives as an official, and is anxious to be the foundation of government. He pours wind and fan, and this way disappears a little. He tries to clear the way to the dignitaries, but his skills in managing people are not as thorough as he wants to save the people from hardships and dangers.
"It can be said that all the benefits and diseases in the world can't be obtained." It has eliminated the shortcomings in material selection since ancient times, and it can be regarded as very convincing.
It’s just that Wei Chen doubts that such a magnificent article was really written by Yun Zheng? He has a man named Su Xun who likes to commentate the most. His "On the Six Kingdoms" was once famous, so Wei Chen thought..."
When Zhao Zhen saw Zou Tong coming back, he opened his mouth and asked, "Zou Tong, is this article really written by Wen Xinhou himself?"
Zou Tong walked out from behind the pillar and said: "The paper was opened by the slave in person. Marquis Wenxin was talking about the maritime affairs with Duke Di under the nose of the slave, and he wrote it in a hurry. It took less than an hour and a half."
