Chapter six hundred and eighty-ninth love Jiangnan
As soon as they entered the courtyard, Yun Niang greeted him and said, "Da Lang, Governor Yuwen is here and is waiting in the flower hall."
Yang Lin pointed at Yang Tianren and said with a smile: "This is Da Lang, I will call him Master from now on."
Yun Niang didn't give any face to her, and urged: "You can't change it if you call it Shunzui. Dalang, please go and have a look. Governor Yuwen has been waiting for a long time."
"If you don't clean up for a few days, you're going to ride on my head. It seems that you are tight-lipped again." Yang Lin said viciously.
"Guard the child, what are you talking about?" Li Yunniang was so ashamed that she spat and pushed him out.
Seeing that Yang Lin finally went out, he turned back and said to Tianci with a smile: "Tianci is back too. Your yard has been cleaned up. Come with me quickly."
Yang Lin strolled to the flower hall, and it turned out to be Yu Wenxuzhong. When he saw his mentor coming back, he stood up and bowed politely.
"The student came to Beijing to report on his work and came specifically to visit his mentor."
Yang Lin smiled and said: "You have made great achievements in Jiangnan, so you should be promoted. But Jiangnan is our New Deal center after all, and the old forces there are the most stubborn. I didn't tell you that you have to watch over me for two more years."
Yu Wenxuzhong said quickly: "Teacher, don't worry, as long as there is one shortcoming in the ten prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, the student will not return to Bianliang to serve as an official."
"Although the old forces in Jiangnan are stubborn, it is also a prosperous place in the Song Dynasty. What we want is transformation. Through transformation, this prosperity can be upgraded to a higher level, instead of blindly suppressing the gentry and turning wealth into poverty. The degree of this is
, you have to make your own decision, and if it doesn’t work, go to Beijing and ask.”
Yu Wenxuzhong sat upright. After listening, he nodded and said: "What my teacher said is true. The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River has a deep foundation, but there are some enlightened gentry and wealthy businessmen who have seen the benefits of our new policy and responded positively. Today in Hangzhou
There are school buildings all over the place, there are many factories in Suzhou, and the college has an upbeat atmosphere, which is far away from other places."
Just as he was talking, Yun Niang came up with a tea tray. Yang Lin paused and said, "Go and prepare some silk for Shutong, go back and make some clothes, and bring me a big cloak, the peacock fur one I wore once.
In the past, when they followed Yang Lin, they had full food and clothing, but now they are officials and have some salary. The salary of officials in the Song Dynasty is indeed not low, but the teacher's gift is disrespectful and cannot be refused.
Besides, everyone knows Yang Lin's family background, so there is no need to be polite.
Yang Lin talked with him for a while about the current situation in Jiangnan, and he was so carried away that it was noon.
"Why don't you stay and eat and then leave after eating?"
Yu Wenxuzhong stood up hurriedly and said: "Teacher, we senior brothers have made an appointment to have a small gathering at Fanlou. If we can't get together, we won't disturb our teacher."
Yang Lin originally wanted to call him over, but when he thought that his brothers would be having a drink together, they would definitely feel awkward if he was present, so he stopped and said with a smile: "Then go ahead."
After sending Yu Wenxuzhong away, Yang Lin looked at the small courtyard and sank to death for a long time.
Jiangnan has always been his first choice for a new capital city, but is Jiangnan suitable?
In this era, transportation is still very backward. If it is too far from places like Shaanxi-Gansu, Yunnan-Guizhou, and Youyanyun, it is not a good idea.
Jiangnan itself has already developed very well, and it seems that it does not need a capital city to promote it. The pros and cons of this are very complicated, and I can't figure it out at the moment. It seems that I have to learn from Cai Jing while he is not completely senile.
That's good.
Just as he was thinking about the appearance of two beauties, one big and one small, Cai Lingbao took Yang Tianxian with him, not knowing where he was going.
Yang Tianxian has just learned to walk now. She has pink makeup and beautiful features. She was a beautiful woman when she was a child. When she grows up, she will become a disaster-level beauty.
Yang Lin blocked the road, picked her up and asked, "Where are you going?"
"I'm bored at home, so I'll take Tianxian to build a snowman in Xiaotaozi's courtyard."
Yang Tianxian also clapped his little hands and said happily: "Build a snowman, build a snowman."
Yang Lin rolled his eyes and said: "For such a young child, if your hands are frozen when making a snowman, it will be ugly in the future. Bring some gifts and come with me back to the Cai Mansion to wish the Grand Master a happy new year."
Cai Lingbao smiled sweetly and said: "That's good, but I promised to play with Little Taozi, okay?"
"casual."
Yang Lin asked Yun Niang to prepare some gifts, pick up Zhong Guiyi, and go to Cai Mansion together.
Only Yang Tianxian was left, sticking his buttocks and crying loudly, and was carried back to the yard by Yun Niang.
Cai Mansion's old residence is still one of the best in Bianliang, even more luxurious than Yang Lin's Zhaodefang.
Cai Jing's family has a lot of money. In recent years, he has reduced a lot of expenses and has become more prosperous.
As soon as the doorman looked at the door post, he saw that it was his young lady and the current young minister who were here, and he hurriedly welcomed them into the house.
Cai Lingbao took Zhong Guiyi and went to play in her courtyard, leaving Yang Lin alone with a maid to see Cai Jing.
After a while, he was led to the inner courtyard. Cai Jing walked out with a smile on his hands, leaning on a cane and without any help from his concubine.
Yang Lin smiled and said: "Master, you are getting healthier."
"People who are half buried in the earth, no matter how healthy they are, just live one day at a time."
As long as they talk like this, no one is really willing to risk their lives. Yang Lin smiled and said: "This is the thousand-year-old ginseng given to me by Yang Ziqian of Goryeo. It is said to be able to make flesh and bones and make the living dead. When the grand master is fine, he can make some soup."
drink."
The old man put it away with a smile, and Cai Jing said: "Wenyuan, you always go to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason, and once you bring a gift, you have an agenda. Tell me, what is the purpose of coming here this time?
"
Yang Lin chuckled and said: "Master Tai understands me. I really have something to ask you when I come here this time. I want to move the capital to Jiangnan. What do you think of Grand Master?"
"Jiangnan?" Cai Jing's expression gradually became serious, and he twisted his beard and said: "The custom of Jiangnan is that it is the capital of the imperial court, and it is not suitable to be the capital of a unified dynasty. Today's world has unprecedented territory, so it is unwise to make Jiangnan the capital."
"Now the grasslands are about to be taken over, and they are expanding to the west and north. If we establish a capital in the south of the Yangtze River, I'm afraid it will reach the Western Regions. The desert will be difficult to control, and the northerners will be alienated and it will be difficult to return to the Han Dynasty."
Yang Lin sighed and said: "I have been thinking about this matter repeatedly in recent days, but I still can't make up my mind. It's really frustrating."
Cai Jing took a sip of tea, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "Wenyuan, you have to know that when it comes to major events in the world, especially major events like this, there will always be gains and losses. If you want to find a perfect way,
It is against common sense. Only by balancing the pros and cons, taking and giving up, can we make a plan."
"Where does the Grand Master think a capital can be built?"
Cai Jing said: "Then it depends on what you want?"
Yang Lin thought for a long time, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "I understand what the Grand Master means. I will think about this matter more carefully and then discuss it with the Grand Master."
