Ji Zi Volume Chapter 34 Must face (big update, please vote for me!)
Ni Er is gone.
But Feng Ziying was thinking that the Jia family did have a lot of problems. Looking at the situation of the Lai family, the family's assets could be as high as one hundred thousand taels of silver.
If this is the case, we need to make a careful calculation with Wang Xifeng. If the blood-sucking insect adsorbed on the Jia family can be squeezed out as much as possible from the blood it has sucked from the Jia family for so many years, both Jia She and Jia Zhen will have to be involved in this matter.
That's fine, especially since Lai Er, that is, Lai Sheng, is the housekeeper in Ningguo Mansion. It is estimated that the same is true in Ningguo Mansion. Jia Zhen must have been waiting for the opportunity for a long time.
How to plan this first round of offensive? You have to plan it yourself. The foreman under Ni Er will lead the way, Jia Rui will take the lead, Jia She Jia Zhen will add fuel to the fire, and if you can pull out one or two of Lin Zhixiao, Wu Xingdeng or Wang Shanbao,
A single strike will make it difficult for the Lai family to stand up, and it can also deplete the Lai family's foundation to the maximum extent, allowing the Jia family to regain its health.
Daiyu still has to live in the Grand View Garden for two years. At least it is not too late for the Jia family to wait until Daiyu gets married and then decline.
Feng Ziying doesn't plan to take part in the specific planning and handling of this matter herself. It should be a small test to let Wang Wenyan do this.
Feng Ziying also considered that if she went to Yongping Mansion, Cao Yu could continue to stay in the capital city and continue to manage "Today's News". Wu Yaoqing followed him to Yongping Mansion. Since he was going to serve as a fellow magistrate, he had to make some political achievements.
, it is inevitable to use various intelligence resources in Wu Yaoqing's hands, and from the very beginning, Feng Ziying has asked Wu Yaoqing to collect as much information as possible around Beizhi, and Yongping Mansion is the focus.
Gu Dengfeng, Shanxi merchants, and people from Laozhuangji have already made preparations in Yongping Mansion. The site selection of several iron mines has come to an end. It is nothing more than finalizing the implementation of the iron smelting furnace, but it also involves
Many issues require coordination with local officials and local gentry, which will have to wait until he takes office.
Calculating this, Cao Yu, who is in charge of "Today's News", and Qian Guisheng, who is in charge of coordinating salt merchants, maritime merchants and monetary affairs in the south, will stay in the capital city, while Gu Dengfeng, who is in charge of official coordination, and Wu Yaoqing, who is in charge of intelligence affairs
He will follow him to Yongping Mansion, while Wang Wenyan, who is in charge of the general affairs, will have to run between the Capital City and Yongping Mansion, depending on the situation.
At a cursory glance, it seems that the small circle of staff surrounding him has basically taken shape.
Wang Wenyan takes over as the general manager, Gu Dengfeng is responsible for coordinating official matters as well as economic and industrial affairs; Wu Yaoqing is responsible for intelligence and security; and Cao Yu is responsible for public opinion and media.
Qian Guisheng was the last one to come from the south, but he was Lin Ruhai's most trusted confidant. He was responsible for communicating with the salt merchants about many of Lin Ruhai's private matters regarding money and money. Now he has followed him and is responsible for his own finances and
Matters related to Haitong Bank.
But this team of staff is still not perfect. If you are just a Hanlin Academy editor, you will not need such a team at all. But if you go to Yongping Mansion to serve as a Tongzhi? Then you still lack a staff in the area of criminal justice, because Tongzhi
A large part of the job is responsible for criminal prosecution.
We still need to find a suitable staff member for the punishment and naming, but there is no rush. We can wait until we go to Yongping Mansion to discuss it.
**********
Feng Ziying didn't expect that the second house's reinstatement would spread so quickly. When he went to the Hanlin Academy to handle the handover the next day, the news had already spread.
There is no doubt that this should be news leaked from the Ministry of Rites, but you can't say anything yet.
This is not a secret, and most of the older officials in the court know how Uncle Yunchuan of the Feng family became a Shenwu general.
Feng Tang now occupies the position of governor of Jiliao and shoulders the important task of resisting the Jurchens in Jianzhou. His son Feng Ziying has also made outstanding achievements many times? But now he is inexplicably "expelled" from the capital to serve as an official. How can the court find such a source of comfort?
That makes sense.
What's more, isn't he just a false title of Uncle Yunchuan? His salary is only three to five hundred taels of silver a year, even if it is the emperor's grace? If it is given to a small village in the suburbs of Beijing, it is only two to three thousand taels of silver. Compared with this original
He was regarded as a character who wanted to rise to the top, yet he was "dispatched" out of Beijing. This was simply a situation where he was demoted to the end.
On the contrary, for example, Lian Guoshi stayed in the Ministry of Personnel, Xu Xie went to the Ministry of Husbandry, Fang Youdu went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zheng Chongjian and Wang Yingxiong stayed in the Ministry of War, and both of them stayed in the capital.
Those who were really released from Beijing were basically the top three Jinshi at the time. The second-level Jinshi like Feng Ziying returned to the academy and was selected as a Shujishi. In the end, those who even entered the Hanlin Academy as editors were eventually released from Beijing. It can be said that the entire
The Great Zhou Dynasty was also the first of its kind.
Of course, the discerning people in the court also understand that this is actually to quell the complaints of the gentry in the north. However, with the status and influence of Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia, even if the gentry in the north have complaints and criticisms, if they deliberately want to protect Feng Ziying
, could still be saved, but Qi Qiao and Qi Qiao did not do this, but allowed Feng Ziying to be "expelled" from Beijing, which made many people confused.
Of course, some people who have seen more deeply can still understand that Qi Qiao and the two are protecting Feng Ziying and preventing him from leaving a bad impression in the minds of the northern gentry. This can be regarded as a punishment and an explanation to them.
In the eyes of many people, this compensation for the restoration of the Feng family and Feng Ziying's missed opportunity to stay in Beijing are simply not worth mentioning.
But as soon as the news spread, Feng Ziying knew that there was a lot of trouble. Naturally, many people would understand the secret. Some even thought that this was a good time to burn the cold stove. Someone might want to log in tomorrow.
It's your own door.
"Ziying, after your family is restored to the nobility, are you going to talk about having both mother and father? You are so lucky that you still need to marry a real wife?" Yang Sichang joked with a smile, "What is lost is gained in the east, well, Ziying
Ying, do you think this is a good deal?"
The reasons for Feng Ziying's release and even the internal considerations are no secret to Yang Sichang. The Huguang scholars headed by Chai Ke, Guan Yingzhen and his father Yang He still have a relatively close relationship with the Beidi scholars.
Therefore, although Feng Ziying is facing pressure and choosing to leave Beijing to temporarily avoid the limelight, Yang Sichang thinks it is a pity, but it is also a wise move.
However, the court gave him a reinstatement as a consolation, which still made Yang Sichang very funny. This was the first time he had seen this kind of compensation.
However, people say that Feng Ziying is charming and suave, and this seems to be what she wants. But if she really likes this, she can just keep concubines. There is no need to marry a real wife. Then isn't she asking for trouble for herself?
"Brother Wen Ruo, stop joking. I'm about to be sent out of Beijing. Is it appropriate to talk sarcastically here instead of comforting my little brother?" Feng Ziying pretended to complain.
"Haha, I don't think you are frustrated or dissatisfied at all. You seem to want to go on. What, what good things are waiting for you in Yongping Mansion?" Yang Sichang's sense of smell is still quite sensitive, "
I didn’t choose Baoding, I didn’t choose Ningbo, I didn’t choose Huangzhou, but I chose Yongping. There’s something weird about it.”
"Zhuo Jing is pregnant, and I don't want to leave too far away so that I can have someone to take care of me. Is this a good reason?" Feng Ziying asked back.
"Then Baoding Prefecture is much better than Yongping Prefecture." Yang Sichang was not easy to fool.
"Brother Wen Ruo, I may have some financial means, but Tongzhi is not only responsible for the economy. Baoding Prefecture is several times larger than Yongping Prefecture. I don't want to be overwhelmed as soon as I go there. And you should know that the current governor of Baoding
As for adults, hehe, I think it would be more appropriate to wait for two years to polish my skills before dealing with such people."
Feng Ziying expressed his thoughts in an understatement, believing that Yang Sichang should understand.
Sure enough, Yang Sichang thought for a while and finally nodded: "Ziying, you made the right choice. Choose a smaller state capital to practice your skills. However, Yongping Prefecture is not easy, and the security there is very poor.
It’s not good, and there are a lot of disagreements with the border troops in Ji Town, oh..."
Yang Sichang suddenly remembered something, and then he suddenly realized, "You boy, so that's how it is. No wonder you chose Yongping Mansion. It seems that you want to choose to suppress bandits as a breakthrough point. Well, there is no general soldier in Jizhen now. Your father is
My capable subordinate You Shigong is the acting commander-in-chief, and with his help, it shouldn’t be a problem.”
"There must be some factors in this regard. Since I have been 'exiled', I have to do something to atone for my sins." Feng Ziying did not deny it. "Besides, Yongping is also considered the hinterland of the North. Do something practical.
It can also make some people less critical."
Yang Sichang pondered for a moment, "Ziying, actually you don't need to care too much about what those people say. To put it bluntly, some northern gentry are too narrow-minded and too short-sighted. In this regard, I think the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River should do better than
The gentry in the north is good. The strategy of opening up the sea seems to be a benefit to the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, but can't they see that the financial difficulties of the imperial court can be alleviated, otherwise how can the military pay and military resources in Liaodong and the three sides be guaranteed? Do they have to wait until the Mongols and Jurchens fight
Come inside the side wall and start scrambling to find a solution?"
Feng Ziying was a little surprised. It seemed that Yang Sichang was greatly influenced by his father, and some of his views began to change.
"Does Brother Wen Ruo think that the strategy of opening up the sea can solve the fundamental problem?" He asked intentionally to see if Yang Sichang could find a way in the future.
"It's difficult." Yang Sichang shook his head with certainty, obviously thinking about this issue. "Opening the sea may bring some relief and compensation, but I don't think it will be a drop in the bucket, but when a load of firewood burns, a glass of water will extinguish it."
No, a bucket of water won't work either. Opening the sea is only equivalent to a bucket of water, but if there are a few more buckets of water, maybe it will work. How to find more buckets of water, I think that is the most important thing."
"Did Brother Wen Ruo find these buckets of water?" Feng Ziying asked again.
Yang Sichang shook his head, "Opening the sea to develop maritime trade is one bucket. Maybe overseas reclamation can be counted as another bucket. What else? It's far from enough. Ziying, what else do you think can be counted?"
"I think that the production of silk, porcelain, cotton, tea, medicinal materials, and iron materials driven by sea trade should be regarded as a full bucket of water, even several times more than other buckets." Feng Ziying looked at Yang Sichang and said.
Yang Sichang thought carefully, but finally shook his head, "Ziying, your view is unrealistic. The demand for sea trade is always limited, and the development and expansion of these industries also have certain limits."
"Then what if we ordinary people in Zhou Dynasty also start to demand and buy these things in large quantities for use?" Feng Ziying asked back: "Is this bucket big enough? Maybe such a bucket of water can put out the fire."
Yang Sichang fell into deep thought again, and after a long time he said with difficulty: "Ziying, the question is how can these ordinary people afford it?"
"When the level of iron smelting, silk reeling, weaving, porcelain making, and tea making continues to improve, the output is getting higher and higher, the scale is getting larger, and it is becoming more and more popular. Brother Wen Ruo, do you think it will be affordable?
What?" Feng Ziying said again: "This is actually a problem of chickens laying eggs and hatching chickens. As more and more people engage in this industry, the scale will become larger and the output will become higher and higher. In the same way, we can make a living by relying on this industry.
People make a living on this and can afford more of these things. Doesn’t this slowly turn into a big bucket of water?”
The words were a bit convoluted, and Feng Ziying did not discuss the matter in detail with Lian Guo that day. Instead, he roughly told the other party the conclusion and the reasoning behind it. He believed that Yang Sichang would reason carefully after he returned and take a look.
Can he understand and accept this truth?
After sending away the thoughtful Yang Sichang, Feng Ziying went home. As soon as she returned to the house, Shen Yixiu came out and said with a somewhat anxious expression, "Ms. sir!"
"What's wrong?" Feng Ziying was surprised.
"In the morning, I went to say hello to my wife. My wife asked me if I could recognize Shuitang, the sister of the Prince of Beijing, and Mu Han, the daughter of the Prince of Dongping County. I didn't know her very well. I only heard her name.
Later, I heard from my concubine that there might be a daughter from the Zhen family in Jiangnan, and also a daughter from Lord Qiu, the deputy general of the Shenshu camp..."
Feng Ziying was so depressed that she almost vomited blood.
Why is my mother's choice limited to these people?
Can the King of Beijing and the Zhen family of Jiangnan be provoked? There are not many clues now, but Feng Ziying knows that the King of Beijing and the Zhen family of Jiangnan are inextricably linked to Prince Yi Zhong. This requires
After marrying the daughter of the Shui family and the Zhen family, how can we escape from the relationship in the future? I am afraid that my father will soon be jealous of the emperor.
As for Qiu Shiben's daughter, Feng Ziying has also heard of it. It is said that she is also very heroic and talented in both civil and military affairs. However, Qiu Shiben is obviously a chess piece used by Emperor Yonglong to break into the Beijing camp. Qiu Shiben is also incompatible with other martial arts. Although Feng Ziying is not interested in those
The old warriors didn't want to see him, but they also didn't want to get involved with a character like Qiu Shiben who wanted to be a lonely minister.
These are all secondary. The key is that I want to marry Baochai.
"It seems that I have to make it clear to my mother." Feng Ziying sighed. At this time, I am afraid that I can no longer avoid it.
