Chapter 421: Can’t be fooled.

Zhu quickly got a response from the kings.

He did show great enthusiasm for his brothers and sons to enter the capital.

Now, since the division, the suspicion of brothers and fathers has been removed.

Nowadays, the feudal lords who have been divided out of the country depend on the support of the court day and night, and the emperor is not worried that the kings and their sons will have dissenting views.

With no more doubts in this regard, affection takes over.

What’s more, Zhu Di is old, people are old, they can not help but grow up together in the past brothers, and their own sons, added a few points of nostalgia.

He was a little concerned though that such a partnership might not earn him silver.

However, still in high spirits, the Crown Prince personally responsible for reception matters, and let people clean Honglu Temple, for the kings to live after the capital.

In addition to this, Zhang Anshi had also submitted a sangpao, since it was about the specific matters of business cooperation.

Within just over two months, Zhang Anshi drew up the details and said that both the Taiping government and the merchant bank were fully prepared to open cooperation as soon as the details were finalized with the kings.

These days, the Qixia Merchant Company had already begun recruiting manpower in preparation for future cooperation.

Even the money changers are working on lending for future investments, and in order to encourage trade, shipbuilding and other purchases necessary for trade can be lent at a lower interest rate.

Everything is ready, all we need is an east wind.

This sang, Zhu Di first handed over to the Wen Yuan Pavilion to discuss, Wen Yuan Pavilion this side, and with the six ministries will discuss.

In fact, not many ministers are really knowledgeable about such matters.

To them, it’s more like just a variation of tribute.

Anyway, it’s a tribute anyway, and it’s a family matter for the Son of Heaven, it’s the Zhu family who hooked it up themselves, and it doesn’t seem to have much to do with the world.

It was so that, for a moment, it was impossible to tell.

In the end, it was unanimously decided to praise His Majesty’s sagacity.

Zhu could only laugh bitterly in his heart.

Now many of the affairs of the world, Zhu Di and the group of ministers do not seem to know much, or rather, know is a little bit, just not much.

And the only person familiar with these matters was Zhang Anshi.

“I’m too old to learn new things, I hope my children and grandchildren will understand in the future, Junji is learning now ……”

Speaking of Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Di’s eyes glowed.

This grandson, more and more make him look forward to, unusual dragon son and grandson, if he was taught to go to the bottom of the officer, I’m afraid that it has long been screaming.

What Zhu Di remembers most is that when his own father, Emperor Taizu Gao, ordered several of his brothers to go to Fengyang to farm, all of them were complaining.

But this grandson of his shall not be, he has no complaints about this, now this third grade official, has become a first grade official, rumored to have been a small Yamen in the deputy secretary of the official, equivalent to the deputy.

The ministers could only follow along and dryly laugh when they heard Zhu Di’s sentiments.

After returning to Wen Yuan Pavilion, Hu Guang went to seek Yang Rong in the wind as usual.

Yang Rong was still looking at Zhang Anshi’s charter and was mesmerized.

“Lord Yang, Lord Yang, this Zhang Anshi, how come he’s hooking up with the feudal kings again?” Hu Guang hurriedly said.

Yang Rong raised his head, his voice was calm: “It may be …… that the various prefectures …… are too stubborn, only the district of Zhili, the only thing that can really let him make a big difference is the Taiping Province, he is worried about doing nothing, so he contacted the kings. ”

“Invoking the vassal king as a foreign aid?” Hu Guang held his chin, he was now starting to try and think with a new mindset as well.

Yang Rong is shaking his head: “will not speculate on the hearts of people do not speculate, when it is really collusion with the feudal king, may be a big crime. Zhang Anshi timid as a mouse, is not able to do such a thing. The old man means …… him this new policy, is wanting to open up another strange path.”

“Oh.” Hu Guang suddenly realized, turned to say: “You said earlier. New Deal, New Deal, this is now very popular in Zhili, can hear these two words every day, but this New Deal in the end what, I sometimes still do not understand, this is not doing business? Doing business, how to become a new policy.”

He looked like he was very confused.

Yang Rong said: “That’s because you think that doing business is easy and naturally, you think it’s simple. This business is the same as our officialdom, where is it so easy? It is like walking on thin ice with fear and trembling. To be able to teach a good business, for the country and the people can make profits, this is not easier than you shut up and read a few books.”

Hu vastly ashamed to say: “I only mouth to say, you are such a big resentment.”

“Say it, what exactly is your business?” Yang Rong looked straight at Hu Guangdao.

Hu Guang’s face flashed with a touch of embarrassment, coughed and said, “There is indeed something that I want to ask for advice, I thought that you are the most cunning, no, you are the most intelligent, perhaps this is something that you can see through.”

Yang Rong smiled and said, “Alright, don’t turn around and scold me, let’s get down to business.”

Hu Guang said, “In recent some days, many of my fellow townsmen have repaired the book to ask me about Java, saying that the line is the government of the pre-Qin Dynasty, the government is smooth and harmonious, the road is not, the night is not closed ……”

Yang Rong sat still and looked at Hu Guang without blinking.

He was numb.

But I saw Hu Guang said agreeably, saying, “And I heard that the King of Zhao is courteous and respectful to the readers, and all those who wish to go to Java are treated with courtesy, and …… ”

“What the hell are you trying to say?” Yang Rong said with a wooden face.

So Hu Guang said: “Simply put, is that many fellow townspeople, want to move to Java, but after all, uprooted from their homes, and some worry, think about it, know that I’m in the value of the center, so the letter to ask, you said that …… this thing …… reliable! Is it?”

Yang Rong then looked deeply at Hu Guang and said, “This Java, it shouldn’t be a paradise on earth.”

Hu Guang tilted his head and said, “But with a benevolent government, even if there are occasional flaws, there shouldn’t be any harshness.”

Yang Rong smiled and said, “This kind of thing, you believe it is a happy land, it is a happy land ……”

Hu Guang still held his chin and said very seriously, “In fact, even if it’s a good place, where is it as good as home? Who would be willing to leave their hometown if they don’t have to? Just these letters, many people complained a lot, hey …… they are cold heart, has felt that this goes on, sooner or later, the family will be broken, after all …… Jiangxi Buzhengji Division there …… Previously killed so many people, now everyone is afraid of like a tiger, talk about the jinyiwei color change.”

He continued quietly: “Poor my fellow townsmen, one by one, the wind and the grass and trees, lest one day wake up, the Jinyiwei’s driving sticker will arrive.”

Yang Rong pursed his lips, wanting to speak.

Hu Guang, on the other hand, continued to himself, “In that case, it may not be a bad thing for them to go to Java.”

Yang Rong said, “Maybe.”

Hu Guang’s eyes were slightly open, and he said with a look that he seemed to have found his soulmate, “Yang Gong also thinks so?”

Yang Rong, however, said, “I didn’t think so, I just think that …… traveling ten thousand miles and reading ten thousand books ……”

Hu Guang brow raised and said in dissatisfaction, “You guy, you defend that Zhang Anshi kid all day long on weekdays, and now you also know how terrifying Zhang Anshi’s Jin Yi Wei is, and now that I’m inquiring about this matter with you, you can’t be bothered to pull off saying bad things about Zhang Anshi, and so you’re using such ambiguous words to fob me off. Well, I understand what you mean.”

Yang Rong hesitated for a moment and finally said, “Lord Hu, I still have a word of advice.”

Hu Guang said with a few points of gambling, “I don t like to hear, you continue to protect Zhang Anshi. Hey …… pity my folks, if they are not forced into a desperate situation, why is it like this? Good in the Xie Gong in, Xie Gong should still be able to do in Java, he is still a scholar, but also Jiangxi people, from the past in the dynasty, he will pay special attention to the township, to the people of the same nationality, all give convenience. Now entrusted to Xie Gong, is not a beautiful thing.”

Young Wing: “……”

“Why didn’t Lord Yang say anything?”

Yang Rong said, “You were the one who taught me not to say anything, and now I have nothing more to say.”

Hu Guang’s eyes revealed a bit of sorrow and said, “You love to show your intelligence in front of me, but in front of outsiders, you look like you are careful with your words.”

Complained and went on his merry way again.

Yang Rong sat behind the case, he frowned and seemed to be thinking carefully about something, and then faithfully picked up a pamphlet on the case.

This pamphlet is obviously another article that Xie Jin has recently circulated.

Yang Rong looked at the pamphlet and laughed bitterly, shaking his head, “Luckily, I am from Fujian.”

But then again, for the matter of going to sea, Yang Rong is not too averse to it, after all, born in the mountainous, crowded Fujian Province, since ancient times there has been a precedent of leaving home to go to sea.

Of course, after more than a few break-ins, people still know the market.

Something like Java, which is such an ugly eater, is definitely a no-go, or else it’s just bone crumbs left over.

…………

Receiving the decree, King Zhao Zhu Gao Suo was surprised and delighted.

So they were in a hurry, and then boarded the mail boat, but not straight to the mouth of the Songjiang River, but first to Annan, to Annan and the King of Han Zhu Gaoxu rendezvous, and only then all together sail, to the inland and go.

Zhu Gao Suoi is happy that he can finally go back to see his parents, and maybe …… he can also finalize some matters of ordnance.

And the alarming thing, he and the things …… planned by Jinyin do not seem to be done, otherwise even if he went to the capital, but also just called him to the capital.

Thinking of his uncles and older brothers, following him along to get a piece of the pie, Zhu Gao Suo could not sleep well.

He’d barely taken the first step in his ambitions when his legs were broken.

As a result, seeing the King of Han Zhu Gaoxu, King of Zhao Zhu Gaoxu is both happy, but also can not help but heart melancholy.

Especially when he was on the same ship, hearing Zhu Gaoxu rambling on about his art of war and the several conquests, Zhu Gaoxu would just want to yawn.

The older brother still hasn’t changed, still still has no brain.

The only person in the world who can be compared to him, Zhu Gao Suo, is Zhang An Shi.

At the same time, in the send Jiangkou, Prince Zhu Gaoqi has arrived in Songjiang, is here to prepare to meet his uncles and brothers it.

This Songjiang port, now is already flags, red and green, very lively.

Until the ninth day of October, half a year had passed since His Majesty’s decree.

The first ship carrying the vassal king has finally arrived.

Upon seeing the flags on that ship, it was actually the King of Han and the King of Zhao who arrived first.

Zhu Gaoqi heart great joy, immediately rate of officials to the pier to meet.

A few moments later, a eunuch disembarked first.

This eunuch was obviously King Han’s eunuch, Zhu Gaoqi vaguely remembered him, only at this time, this eunuch had aged a lot and his complexion was much darker.

See when the eunuch of the prime of life, now also head spot white hair, the face is all the traces of age, Zhu Gaoqi both a few points of excitement, but also can not help but sigh.

That eunuch walked to Zhu Gaoqi’s front, bowed down, and then said, “Your Highness the Crown Prince …… slave servant …… slave servant …… ”

Zhu Gaoqi frowned, “Where is Lone’s brother?”

This eunuch kowtowed and said with fear and trembling, “Your Highness the Crown Prince, the two Highnesses …… are critically ill ……”

If only sick, there is no harm, can say is actually critically ill, Zhu Gaoqi suddenly color change, frozen in place, not a word.

Behind the subordinate officials, immediately into a mess, some people shouted: “Go to ask the good doctor.”

Another person pulled Zhu Gaoqi who wanted to board the ship, kneeling down, tears, said, “His Royal Highness the crown prince of a thousand gold body, now I do not know what disease, or not to board the ship for the right, a thousand gold son sitting not pendant hall ……”

………………

Zhu Di was slightly lifting his head at this moment, and was looking at the several palace lamps hanging on the carved beams of the veranda bridge out of his mind.

Yiluoha came over in a panic and said, “Your Majesty ……”

Zhu Di as if suddenly reacted as if, pointed to the palace lamps said: “Here add some more lights, and the halls also add some, Zhao Wang was young and suffered from eye disease, to the night will not be able to see clearly, the Forbidden City up and down, add some more lights, brighter.”

Yiluoha then said, “The slave girl really died and forgot about this.”

Zhu didn’t get angry and calmly said, “He hasn’t come back for many years, so it’s understandable that you’ve forgotten about this.”

Zhu Di smiled, he even appeared to be in a happy mood, said, “But there is no need to panic, they disembarked, only early, I think, should be the king of Zhou first to, the king of Zhao, this person ……… has no manhood, heard that I want to summon, he a person heart is weak, it is necessary to be accompanied by the king of Han.”

Seeing that Zhu Di was in a good mood, Yiluoha busily nodded his head and said, “How in the world can a father say that about his son.”

Zhu Di a look of rightful, “Just because I am the father, so can say so, their side, which one is not coaxing them, each mouth smeared with candied fruit like, such as that Zhang Anshi.”

Yishakha only laughed and didn’t answer.

But he knew better than anyone else that if he answered today, he would be offending both King Zhao and Zhang Anshi, striking a big blow at once.

Zhu Di at this time but said, “Prince side …… is already rushing to Jiangkou stationed?”

Yishakha said truthfully, “It has long been stationed.”

Zhu Di nodded, then said, “And Zhang Anshi, when they entered the capital, and then ordered Zhang Anshi also go to the outside of the capital to meet a little, have to caution this kid, people first came to the country, do not meet and talk to people about the sale of goods and services, the sale of goods and services can be talked about at any time, this person once they come, they pondered about earning money, not polite.”

Also Lost Ha said, “The slave girl thought that His Highness, the Wuhu County King, knew what was appropriate.”

Zhu Di opened his mouth, would like to say something, but it seems to feel that saying this is not much fun, then shook his head and smiled, “Yes, I’m old, and I’m in charge of more than a few idle things, I remember when I was there, there was no such broken mouth.”

Also Lostha also laughed and didn’t say anything.

Zhu Di back hand, through the corridor, one side said, “later or call Zhang Qing into the palace audience a trip, I still have some things to explain, otherwise do not rest assured.”

Yiluoha first gave a wink to a small eunuch, that eunuch understood and hurriedly went away.

After more than an hour, Zhang Anshi arrived late.

Zhu Di at this time is carrying his hands, in the corridor Xu line, one side of the careless said: “Taiping House side, how is the preparation?”

Zhang Anshi then said, “Your Majesty rest assured, the information, specialties, minerals, and topography of the various vassal states, I have people to collect, in addition to the merchant bank this side, but also drew up a huge plan, do not dare to say that everything, but certainly …… ”

“I am not asking about this.” Zhu Di glared at Zhang Anshi, annoyed: “I said to you at first, they had an audience with me, after a few days, the Taiping House invited them to look around, this Taiping House up and down, whether they are ready to entertain, can not teach people to spoil the fun.”

Zhang Anshi scratched his head and said, “This …… is just a matter of having a casual meal, and it deserves ……”

Zhu Di stretched out his finger and pointed at Zhang Anshi, “You really fell into the money eye.”

Zhang Anshi raised his head in surprise and looked at Zhu Di in shock before he was busy hanging his head down.

Zhu Di then the tone of some mild, said: “should have the etiquette or to have, they have traveled a long way to the capital, I am the son of heaven, some things, always inconvenient, to teach them to be pleasant in the capital, Ben is pointing to you.”

“Understood, I understand.” Zhang Anshi swore, “On my side, I will definitely serve them comfortably. Tomorrow I will seek Qiu Song, and the stuff Qiu Song drummed up can definitely teach your highnesses to enjoy themselves for a year.”

Chu: “……”

But think carefully, Zhu Di seems to have realized what, then counted the default, only slowly said: “Qiu Song this person, I always feel that his brain is not very good, you have to look after him to do.”

Zhang Anshi said, “He’s pretty normal the vast majority of the time.”

Zhu pursed his lips, noncommittal.

Traveling to the outside of Wen Lou, Zhu Di was about to enter the temple.

Suddenly a eunuch came panting, and when he saw Zhu Di, he immediately bowed his head, then said, “Your …… Majesty …… Your Majesty ……”

Zhu Di most can not see someone like this out of shape, glanced at the eunuchs of the General Administration Department, immediately pulled a face, eyes fell elsewhere, slowly said: “What is the matter?”

“Songjiangkou emergency report …… emergency report ……” This eunuch kowtowed, anxiously said, “Han King and His Highness the King of Zhao, in the boat at the same time critically ill …… said …… that they have contracted a serious illness ……”

Zhang Anshi: “……”

When Zhu Di heard this, he stood still with a wooden face, as if he didn’t react to what this eunuch said for a moment.

It was a good half hour before he said in a slow voice, “What disease?”

It seems that at this time his emotions are not excited, just …… this voice is slightly trembling.

The eunuch said:” said …… said to have contracted some kind of miasma disease …… This is only the accompanying imperial physician diagnosed, in fact, there is no way to tell, but the eunuchs on the same ship did say that such a disease, in the Western Ocean is common. ”
