The two of them entered the study, and Tang Shijin said: "Before, when I was granted the title of Marquis, I didn't thank the Prime Minister enough for fighting for me in front of you." He gave a salute.
Tao Xiang sighed: "I have never been able to help."
"Prime Minister," Tang Shijin said, "I have planned this matter many times. I was negligent and did not inform the Prime Minister in advance. Please don't take offense, Prime Minister."
She really forgot about Tao Xiang at that time.
Later, I heard that Tao Xiang had fought hard for this, and I really recognized this family in my heart.
But now, she has other ideas.
Tao Xiang was not surprised. He nodded and said, "Why are you doing this?"
Tang Shijin said calmly: "I have a jade and a Sui pearl, and I also have a loyal heart and blood; I want peace and prosperity, the country is peaceful and the people are safe; I want the people to be rich, and all the people to be happy; I want to do business happily, make a lot of money, and be richest in the world...
…And I want to do all this myself, instead of relying on others and taking orders from others, including Prince Wei’s Mansion and Tao Xiang’s Mansion. It’s not that I don’t trust you, but...”
She raised her head and looked directly at him: "I don't like to succumb to others, and I don't have to succumb to others. Most of the world's methods are too mediocre for me. I don't need to use such methods. I want to do it myself, thunder and lightning, so I must be"
Man's body'."
She bowed again: "Master Xiang, friendship does not have to be on the surface. I respect your character, and I am grateful to my second brother and sixth brother for teaching Lei'er for me. I will live up to the Tao family and protect you... But
In the future, what I do may be unacceptable to the world, especially to the literati, so Prime Minister, on the surface, you and I can stay away from each other."
Tao Xiang was a little shocked.
He looked at her carefully with new eyes.
After a long while, he said: "What are your plans? Would you like to talk to me?"
Tang Shijin said calmly: "I want to return to Jiangnan before the spring, cooperate with Jiangnan officials, promote improved seeds with benefits, and then use the method of signing contracts to gradually promote these improved seeds to the world. Within three years, Jiangnan will become our
In my back garden, all the officials in Jiangnan are my supporters."
Tao Xiang's expression gradually became solemn: "Promoting improved seeds will benefit the country and the people! Why do you...do you have so many concerns?"
"Prime Minister, what do you think?" Tang Shijin said: "With all due respect, the emperor is weak and mediocre, the Wan family is dominant, and the DPRK is full of chaos. It's hard to be a good person! If you want to serve the country and the people, you don't just have a loyal heart.
To do it, scheming is indispensable!! I never care about reputation, as long as I have a clear conscience, I don't mind using extraordinary methods, so..." She said slowly: "We are destined to be different."
Tao Xiang looked at her steadily, and then slowly moved back and leaned on the back of the chair.
Tang Shilei and several men from the Tao family came back one after another.
When they heard that Tang Shijin and Tao Xiang were talking in the study, several people were a little curious.
Tang Shilei stood at the door, looking up, but no one came for a long time.
Momo Erlang said: "How about we go over and have a look."
So Tao Chengqi also followed, and the three of them chatted all the way to the study. Before they reached the study, there was a faint sound of arguing, and the three of them couldn't help but stomped on their feet.
Tao Erlang tilted his head and heard Tang Shijin's voice: "...This is the highest authority of the Daqing Dynasty! But besides you and grandfather, are there any 'people'? Chen Ge Lao is one, and Zhong Shangshu is
Half, among a dozen or so people, there are only three and a half. The others are all rats who have got into the eyes of money, unscrupulous vampire bats! How can you be reasonable in such a court? How to be reasonable? Prime Minister, you are in abalone.
You've been here for too long and you no longer smell the smell?"
Momojiro was shocked at that time.
He has never seen anyone dare to talk to Taoxiang like this, especially this person is Tang Shijin.
Tang Shilei was also a little panicked and looked at him with his eyes.
Momojiro hesitated for a moment, pressed his shoulder, took the person out, and then pointed out a few people to guard inside and outside.
Tao Chengqi also fell silent and asked: "Second brother?"
He wanted to ask him, is the current court really like this?
Momojiro remained silent.
He didn't have much contact with Tang Shijin, so he didn't know that this little girl had a pair of sharp eyes and could see through people's hearts in just one dinner.
Today's court...isn't it already an abalone restaurant?
It wasn't until long after dinner time that Tang Shijin and the two came out.
Both of them were very calm and smiling, and Tang Shijin was also a foster father. If Tao Er and others hadn't been there, they would never have thought that the two had a fierce argument.
Tang Shijin met Uncle Tao and the husband of the Tao family.
The six gentlemen of the Tao family, Momo Sanro and Momo Shiro, are currently on an overseas trip. Momo Goro just came back at the beginning of the year. The first room, which is the room where Tao Xiang lives, is Tao Er, Moo San and Momo Liu. The second room is Tao.
Big, four peach, five peach.
The people in the first room are obviously better-looking, but the people in the second room are not bad-looking either, and the atmosphere in the whole family is particularly good. Even the daughter-in-law who married in looks kind, and Tang Shijin feels quite comfortable anyway.
After dinner at Taozhai, we packed up and took Tang Shilei back to Prince Wei's Mansion.
Prince Wei's Mansion is very large.
This kind of military commander's residence is full of grandeur and grandeur, which is completely different from the elegant scenery of Taoxiang Mansion.
Moreover, in Prince Wei's Mansion, after all, the Zeng family had a great business, so Tang Shijin and several of his apprentices could have separate courtyards. Tang Shijin gave the one closest to the main courtyard to Tang Shilei, and then set aside a large courtyard next to it, and placed the third courtyard next to it.
A courtyard was pointed out to Xiao Tanhua.
She chose a courtyard to live in another area, and Si Gutu lived with her. Then Qi Yaoling and the others discussed it, and Qi Yaoling and Hua Shenglin lived in a courtyard, while Xi Yuanmu had a separate courtyard, and they settled down just like that.
The old prince talked to Tang Shilei for a while and patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction.
Then Tang Shijin waved his hand to signal the servants to leave and be on guard, and explained the whole process of meeting the driver, including her feelings, in detail.
Shen Yiyi said softly: "Master, do you want me to stay as an official?"
Tang Shijin nodded and said gently: "That's what I think. Are you happy with it?"
Shen Yi was about to say something but hesitated, and rubbed his face with his hands: "Okay, okay."
He paused and asked softly: "Master, will you come back?"
"Of course," Tang Shijin said seriously: "My plan is to come back in April or May of the next year, and then I will live in the capital permanently."
The answer she gave was too clear, and she obviously had a complete plan in mind. Shen Yiyi immediately felt relieved: "Okay, Master, I'll wait for you to come back."
Tang Shijin nodded.
Then she said to Tang Shilei: "Lei'er, you are now a civil servant, and you can be an official regardless of the examination. You have two ways, one is to be like a peach blossom, persevere hard, tell the truth, be a good person, and ask for a
I will try my best to protect you as long as your name is clear... One is, regardless of reputation or reputation, try to win the emperor's favor, and then strive for more freedom, so that you can do more things."
She paused: "There is no right or wrong in these two paths, just follow your heart."
