Monk Wugou wandered to Doushaguan. Now he is no longer the presiding master of Baiyun Temple, so he can only hang orders at Baiyun Temple.
When an old friend came, Yunzheng put down his official duties as soon as possible and went to Baiyun Temple to see Wugou. However, he did not have much official duties to do in Douchuan. Only the steady stream of refugees from Jianchang Prefecture gave him some more.
trouble.
Cui Da also returned from the emperor's tomb in Gong County. In just three months, they completed the construction of a luxurious and majestic cemetery.
"You don't know that there are no less than 30,000 people gathered at the Gong County Mausoleum. The people who carry the stones are all good craftsmen. They don't need the mausoleum to urge them to work every day. Everyone starts working as soon as dawn
The work didn't stop until sunset. Later, a nobleman from Daming Mansion simply led his men to light up the night to fight. How could we in Shu land lose to them? So they lit the best butter candles in the lanterns.
Fight with them..."
It was rare for the sun to come out today, so Wugou spread out a blanket in the backyard of Baiyun Temple and lay on the blanket with Yunzheng while Cui Da boasted about his experiences in Gong County.
"When it comes to work, you have to be spontaneous and willing to work. I have supervised quite a few projects. This is the first time I have seen someone working like this. Can you imagine a mausoleum in Nuo Da, one day?
For example, after the Dragon-Breaking Stone was installed, many people complained endlessly that His Majesty's mausoleum should be built into the strongest quicksand tomb."
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "The tombs of the previous emperors of the Song Dynasty were built only after Long conquered Bintian. Even if those people tried their best, the late emperor could not see them and could not bring much benefit to them. Now your mausoleum is the largest one in the Song Dynasty."
Song Dynasty was the first to build a mausoleum during his lifetime. How could those people not exert all their efforts? Tell me, what benefits did you get?"
Cui Da smiled and said: "You are a philistine, you are a philistine. According to Lao Cui, when he built His Majesty's mausoleum, he was sincerely honoring his father. How can you call him such a philistine?"
Wugou smiled and said, "It seems like the benefits are not small."
Cui Da said proudly: "I just got a wooden plaque, nothing else, no official position, no money, really only a plaque."
Yun Zheng filled his mouth with a bean and chewed it loudly. He pointed at Cui Da and said, "I didn't want to ask what words were mentioned on the plaque. Seeing that your proud little tongue is exposed, you might as well tell me who mentioned it.
What’s the content of the words?”
Cui Da laughed and said: "The words written by His Highness the Crown Prince are "loyalty and filial piety to others". Don't tell me, although His Highness is young, those words are written with great momentum. Judging people by words, Your Highness will have a bright future.
He must be a great hero."
Wugou and Yunzheng looked at each other, and Wugou smiled and said: "Sure enough, His Royal Highness has finally begun to come into the sight of the Song Dynasty.
This breakthrough point is well chosen, no one has anything to say."
"Everyone only praises Prince Zhixiao. Monk, whose hand do you think this technique came from?" Yun Zheng half-leaned on a pillow and looked at Wugou playfully.
"It's pitiful that your majesty is so affectionate that he doesn't hesitate to use his own power to bring glory to his son."
Yun Zheng nodded and said, "I think so too. His Majesty now regards himself as nothing more than a piece of shit. As long as he can pave the way for his son, he will not care about any personal gain or loss."
Cui Da smiled and said: "Aren't we struggling all our lives for the sake of future generations? There is nothing to blame Your Majesty for doing this. The Cui family has been in turmoil a few days ago. Now that there is a plaque written by His Royal Highness, I want to see who can do anything to me.
?”
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "The county magistrate who broke the family, the governor who destroyed the family, the prince is young after all, you said this ten years ago!"
Cui Da laughed and said: "Of course I know I told you ten years ago. Do you think I, Cui Da and Cui Mingzhe, can't survive even ten years?"
Wugou patted his big belly and said with a smile: "Didn't you try your best to stay away from the harem before? Why are you coming closer now?"
Cui Da pointed to the sky mysteriously, then proudly grabbed a chicken leg and gnawed it.
Yun Zheng sighed, and he understood that Cui Da had completely sided with the prince. This time was different from the last time Shu Fei Lanlan won over Shuzhong Trading Company. There was a big difference, because this time it was allowed by the emperor.
In other words, this time it was simply the emperor who made it happen.
Yun Zheng asked softly: "Who gave you the plaque?"
Cui Da smiled and said: "Zou Tong!"
Yun Zheng nodded, that's right. He was now helping the emperor to train the prince's team. If Cui Da helped the prince financially, then from the beginning, the prince would be in an invincible position.
Cui Da didn't know that Yun Er went to Liaodong. Yun Zheng did this deliberately. If the Yun family went to sea to set up their own business and took the Shuzhong Trading Company with them, then he would probably be in trouble. The Zhao family
I will definitely keep a close eye on my movements on the sea.
They would rather fight foreign enemies than serve as domestic slaves. This is the royal family's mentality. They can tolerate and make concessions to foreign enemies in every possible way, but they will only use the most severe methods against opponents who share the same ancestry and origin with them.
As soon as Yun Zheng thought of the tens of thousands of ships in the Song Dynasty, he gave up the idea of joining forces with Shuzhong Trading Company. He didn't want to take his whole family away from home and go to Africa to catch lions...
At this time of night, if there really are gods like God in this world, they will see from the nine heavens that all the cities in the world are dark, and only the cities of the Song Dynasty are brightly lit and bright.
At this time of night, cities all over the world were quiet, except for the cities of the Song Dynasty where people were crowding, singing and laughing.
Under the current starry sky, only the Song Dynasty in the world has a megacity with a population of more than one million. Also under this starry sky, the largest cities in Europe such as London in the UK, Paris in France, Venice in Italy, and Florence are all larger in size.
No more than ten thousand people.
In the Song Dynasty, there were 1.5 million people in Tokyo. There were six cities with a population of more than 200,000, and 46 cities with a population of more than 100,000.
During the Song Dynasty, the city of Tokyo already had welfare facilities such as the Pharmacy Bureau, the Salesian Bureau, the Almshouse, and the Leaze Garden. This was a characteristic of the advanced modernization of the city. In the dark Europe, people still lived under the cloud of the Inquisition.
In America at this time, there were only a large number of bison migrating in the ancient wilderness. The ancient Indians, with feathers on their heads and howling, attacked the migrating bison herds to obtain enough food.
In Africa at this time, cannibal tribes were spread all over the primeval forests and grasslands, and the Egyptians were still under the rule of the brutal Abbasid dynasty.
Yunzheng did not want to go to Africa to serve as a god to the primitive people, nor did he want to wander in the dark Europe, nor did he want to bring the most cruel diseases to the clean Mayans.
Thinking of these things, Yun Zheng lost the desire to speak and just looked at the cotton-white clouds in the sky in a daze.
"Sichuan Commercial Bank and Jingxi Army are one, and there is no way for us to separate. No matter who leaves, there is no way for the other to survive alone.
The Jingxi Army is the barrier for Shuzhong Commercial Bank to block foreign enemies, and the Shuzhong Commercial Bank is a safe place for the Jingxi Army to lick its wounds.
We are destined to be one, no matter whether we support the crown prince or not, we are brothers who are in harmony with each other."
Seeing Yun Zheng's silence, Cui Da thought that he was not satisfied with his own decision, so he had to whisper what he was thinking.
Yun Zheng shook his head and said: "Getting close to the prince under the emperor's instructions is the right way and the most reliable way to stand in line. I have no dissatisfaction. You have actually solved my big trouble by doing this. There is nothing wrong with it.
Nowadays, Shuzhong Commercial Bank is so big that everyone is raising eyebrows. The wealth we harvest every year is more than Daming Mansion’s annual tax. If you don’t decisively agree to the emperor’s conditions, believe me, Shuzhong Commercial Bank will be here soon.
There will be suppression from the emperor, or the emperor's punishment will be even more cruel."
Cui Da breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I'm really worried that you will blame me for taking matters into my own hands."
Yun Zheng smiled and waved his hands, indicating that he didn't care.
Wugou Yigulu sat up from the blanket, looked at Yunzheng and laughed and said: "What the Buddha said is indeed reasonable, "All conditioned dharmas are like bubbles in dreams, like lightning or dew, and should be viewed as such."
Everything is in vain. I remember that back then you supported Shuzhong Trading Company and wanted to make it the largest trading bank in the Song Dynasty. But now you have personally loosened control of Shuzhong Trading Company. Should I say that this is a great wisdom of yours or that you have great wisdom?
Have you worked in vain for ten years?"
Yun Zheng smiled calmly and said: "I don't believe in Buddhism. I have never believed in it. I only believe in my own judgment. It's really time to let go. The ship is too big to turn around. What the Yun family needs now is a short and capable person."
Only in this way can the Yun family survive for a long time."
After spending a whole day in Baiyun Mountain, it was not until the sun was about to set that Yun Zheng said goodbye to Wugou and left Baiyun Mountain to go home.
Yun Zheng was not in high spirits when he returned home. Lu Qingqing was very puzzled. Her husband always came home in a happy mood every time he saw Wugou. Why was he always depressed this time?
It wasn't until she took off her clothes and went to bed that she asked in a low voice at the tent.
"Sichuan Commercial Bank has now taken refuge with Prince Zhao Xu!"
"What?" Lu Qingqing was startled and immediately sat up, but she quickly calmed down, lay down next to her husband again and whispered: "Leave as soon as you leave. You have been in Shu for so many years."
The firm has put so much effort into it, but now that they have left, it is they who feel sorry for you, not you who feel sorry for them.
I have long wanted to persuade you to cut off ties with the Shuzhong Trading Company. In the early years, you could not lead the army without the support of the trading bank. Now that you are in a high official position, it would be wrong to get entangled with the Shuzhong Trading Company.
It tastes good.
The biggest reason why you are ostracized in the court is because of Shuzhong Trading Company.
As far as I know, your military exploits have made everyone, including the emperor, civil and military officials, and even the people of the Song Dynasty, happy and inspired.
Even the most harsh officials have nothing to say about your performance on the battlefield. This is the only business in Shuzhong. Since ancient times, being an official and making a fortune have been in conflict with each other. You cannot be a high official and make a fortune at the same time. Such people never end well.
Holding military power in one hand and financial power in the other, An Lushan was nothing more than that back then!" (A great activity of pie-in-the-sky, cool mobile phone waiting for you!
