Chapter 486 – The Hope of the Great Ming

Zhang Anshi took Ma Yu’s invitation to worship, pondered for a moment, before saying: “Go tell him, this king knows his intention, go and say to him, today this king has important things in the body, will not meet with him. He is a buyer and seller, do business well, profitable can be for, teach him not to have anything to worry about.”

When the lieutenant heard this, he went out, and outside Ma Yu was waiting anxiously.

After the lieutenant relayed Zhang Anshi’s words.

Ma Yu, however, smiled and said, “The student understands, just ……”

He pulled a charter out of his sleeve and said, “Just a few more things, here’s a copy of the student’s charter, please present it to your highness.”

That lieutenant received the charter suspiciously, and at that moment, and without hesitation, went to see Zhang Anshi again.

Zhang Anshi opened the charter, read it carefully, mouth said, “Look, look, look, this person how to be so polite …… Well …… this is both his good intentions, Zhang someone will also refuse, you go to tell him that things This king already knows, everything according to him is.”

Ma Yu outside, and Hou a few moments, waiting for the school lieutenant came out to repeat the words of Zhang Anshi, he then long sigh of relief, as if a piece of mind generally, immediately toward the school lieutenant said: “Many thanks.”

Subconsciously, he pulled out a few silver dollars to slip to the lieutenant.

The lieutenant, however, did not take it, but only said, “Greatly, I dare not violate the law of the house.”

Ma Yu smiled and then left.

Back to the Ma’s boat store, this Ma Yu has already been busy.

He immediately had his clerical staff fetched, wrote some poems, and made a few paintings.

After a short while, there was a beloved Ma San came and said, “Young master, I’ve inquired about it, there are a few people familiar with our Ma family in Shandong’s Fellowship Hall, I didn’t expect them to move to Hezhou as well.”

Ma Yu immediately inquired about which families, and then put pen to paper to repair a few letters, instructed Ma San said: “Later to send over, the attitude should be more respectful. By the way, I also heard that Fuzhou Wu, has also arrived in Hezhou?”

Ma San said with difficulty, “This …… little one went to inquire.”

Ma Yu sighed, said: “when reading, my teacher Mr. Wu, and Fuzhou Wu, quite a source, thanks to my teacher’s teachings, so far thought, still bear in mind the grace of Mr. teachings, to find out the address, late some I went to pay my respects.”

Ma San hurriedly answered and hurried off.

After noon, Ma Yu’s carriage arrived at a new mansion.

Because the mansion is just camped not long ago, so everything is new, but because of the new, but also seems to have less flavor, Ma Yu cast the invitation to pay respects, and soon after, someone will come out.

This person is actually Wu Tong, yes, it is the same Wu Tong that Zhu Di met on the first day he came to this Hezhou.

Wu Tong’s spandex scarf and Confucian shirt humbly went up to greet Ma Yu.

Ma Yu said, “It’s a million deaths to take the liberty of visiting.”

Wu Tong, however, said joyfully, “It is Wu’s good fortune that Mr. Scholar can visit my humble abode.”

“The Scholarly Gentleman doesn’t dare to be.” Ma Yu said, “It’s a shame to say that.”

Saying so, he entered the Wu Mansion hall with Wu Tongdao.

Wu Tong sighed: “you see, here everything is new, but always feel uncomfortable, or Fuzhou old house is good.”

He shook his head with a look of regret.

Ma Yu, however, only smiled, “At the beginning of the benefactor, repeatedly mentioned Wu school brother, until today, only have the opportunity to pay a visit.”

Wu Tong said: “My fourth uncle, also has mentioned the scholar public, talk about the scholar public, there has been a definitive conclusion, said he served as a school official for more than ten years, read the characters, the scholar public is the most intelligent, the future will be able to high school, at that time, Wu Mou still can not believe, I do not expect that since then, as the four uncles predicted.”

Ma Yu smiled, the circle of readers is said to be big and small.

To a large extent, the world’s readers like a river of carp, but to a small extent, this teacher and student, students, students, the same year, old, in-laws, colleagues, you really want to go into detail, can always climb a.

Take a step back, even if these relations can not climb, this fellow students of the same class, the old old, in-laws of the in-laws of the relationship can be sorted out.

What’s more, a scholarly official like Ma Yu is considered to be famous for his own sake.

Ma Yu asked about Wu Tong’s fourth uncle’s condition, and Wu Tong said, “He has already gone immortal.”

Ma Yu then showed a look of sadness.

Wu Tong comforted him, “Xian Di doesn’t have to be like this, things are unpredictable.”

Ma Yu suppressed his tears, then said, “How are you used to living here, senior?”

Wu Tong said: “At first it is not accustomed to, but there is no way, over time, will slowly get used to it. Can’t help it, God’s will make people ah! Hey …… the day before yesterday, I was in a wine shop, and even met ……”

He would like to talk about this, but also feel the heart blocked panic, then simply skipped the topic, reluctantly smiled and said: “After all, come here to live, not my family, there are a lot of fellow townsmen and old friends in this! In the past in Fuzhou, it is rare to get together once, now it’s good, are in the state, occasionally get together, talk about poetry and literature, discuss an article, drink tea and wine, but also can comfort each other, the bitter in the happy.”

Ma Yu said, “But I don’t know which old acquaintances?”

Wu Tongdao: “Jinjiang Liu Sanyang, Linjiang Zhu Wen ……”

In one breath, he said quite a bit.

Ma Yu eloquently said, “Liu Gong’s calligraphy and painting, I have long been known, Mr. Zhu’s article, I have also read, at first had clapped, I never thought, Mr. Zhu is also here.”

Wu Tong smiled lightly and said, “They’ve also heard of the great name of the Scholarly Honor for a long time, there’s a poetry meeting tomorrow, does the Scholarly Honor have any spare time?”

Ma Yu would smile and said, “If you are willing to introduce me, it is indeed the honor of Ma’s three lives.”

So, the two talked about painting and calligraphy and articles, Wu Tong will be made in recent years, a few poems out, please Ma Yu axe, Ma Yu also painfully, even pointed out a few shortcomings.

Wu Tong nonetheless not angry, on the contrary, rejoiced: “Right, right, right, aiya, really teach Wu mou shame, at first felt quite regrettable, this time, Meng Xian brother instruction, know where the problem lies.”

Between the readers is so, if Ma Yu is just ordinary readers, pointed out some mistakes, perhaps others want to turn the other cheek, but Ma Yu is the famous Northern Scholar, pointed out the error, this Wu Tong not only will not feel abrupt, but happy to accept, and even think this is a beautiful thing.

There seemed to be a natural closeness to each other, and they soon became acquainted.

When Ma Yu took his leave, Wu Tong intimately sent him to the center door, bowing to each other, Wu Tong said, “Remember tomorrow at six o’clock Drunken Immortal House, then I also want to ask the virtuous brother to teach.”

Ma Yu said, “Never dare to delay.”

The next day, Ma Yu came to the Drunken Immortal House as promised.

There are a lot of readers here early, all come to participate in the poetry meeting, Wu Tong Yi introduced.

The people have heard of Ma Yu’s great name, have greeted, Ma Yu is a reader, how to deal with, how to talk, and how to be witty and funny, has long been well versed in talking about poetry and literature, there are always a few amazing words, attracting everyone to say goodbye.

After that, and with people exchanging name tags with each other, the end is like a fish out of water.

A few days in a row, Ma Yu almost busy feet do not touch the ground, either to go to the meeting, is to visit the door, this Ma San followed Ma Yu, people are numb.

The one who didn’t become a scholar at first and gave up his title to become a businessman was his own young master, and now the one who is making a fuss about readers, talking about poems, discussing books and paintings, and expounding on titles and articles is still this young master of his own family.

So much so that even the business matters, this young master of his family was too late to ask about, not even having the time to check the accounts, almost from morning to night, without sleep.

Rather, it seems to hate, will be all over the world to and state to avoid the trouble of the readers, all to recognize a general.

For several days in a row, Wazu was cloudy and rainy, with a cold dampness in the air.

Zhu Di’s line in the head, this Zhu Zhanji seems to disappear all of a sudden without a trace, but Zhu Di did not think, he knew himself that this grandson to be busy with too many things, he is also happy to be happy, every day there will be sent from Nanjing City to send the zhengzhi to, as the emperor, the thing to do is still honestly dry, can be used as the emperor, food, clothing, housing and transportation are as good as possible some of the best.

And Yang Rong and Hu Guang and a few others were miserable.

After all, the line in a very small, spacious place, naturally, His Majesty took to get up, a few Wen Yuange University sergeant, and a few ministries and departments of the Shangshu, had to be stuffed together in the Yamen’s signing room in the office, the private duty room is not, we set up the case, each in a corner to be proposed to the ticket proposed.

Yiluoha came in haste, but saw Zhu Di and Zhang Anshi discussing matters.

The inquiry, naturally, was whether that Chen Deng had made a breakthrough.

Zhang Anshi did not look too good, and was saying in frustration, “Your Majesty, this Chen Deng, but also hard, this person has a death wish in his heart, and he refuses to open his mouth even when he dies, such a person …… Speaking of this, I also admire him.”

Zhu Di sipped his tea, frowned up and said, “So hard-headed, then it’s not an ordinary chaotic party, there must be a bigger scheme.”

“Yes.” Zhang Anshi said, “I think so too, so I have cared for Chen Li and taught him to think of another way.”

Yiluoha tiptoed to the corner, and when he heard this, he couldn’t help but say, “Your Majesty, the slave girl has something to say, I don’t know if I should say it or not.”

Also lost ha now has appeared to be a lot of caution, after all, this time the case of Chen Deng, a direct muffled stick will be smashed stunned him, to the present has not been slowed down yet!

Zhu glared at him and said, “If you have something to say, say it.”

“Your Majesty ……” also lost ha said: “East factory since the big mistake, now …… in order to mend the prison, but also try to check out, but Found …… in recent days …… in this and state, suddenly many gentry gathered in groups of three to five, and the lead person …… activities unusually frequent, are playing the name of poetry and talk about the past and present. Among …… them, there are quite a few words about the court. The slave girl is thinking …… whether these …… are the remnants of Chen Deng, at this time borrowing to the name of the literary theory of friends to form an association, don t have any plans?”

Hearing this, Zhu Di was immediately on guard and frowned, “How dare you do this under my nose?”

Zhang Anshi raised his eyes and looked at Yilungha, “Who is this person?”

“Called Ma Yu.” Yilungha said, “It’s the one who was the scholar at the time, and since then he’s been in business, and he’s done a lot of buying and selling.”

Zhang Anshi: “……”

A trace of color flashed in Zhang Anshi’s eyes, and he finally knew why that Ma Yu had to run to him.

At that time, I still thought that this guy was too cautious and too careful, but I didn t expect …… that this guy actually knew human nature so well.

Zhu Di for this Ma Yu, also has a deep impression, then said, “I saw him at first, but like a loyal people, cooked …….”

Zhang Anshi laughed and said, “Your Majesty, is this socializing with the readers also considered a sin? If you say so, the royal grandson in Hezhou, also with many readers and gathered here readers have quite a deal, could it be that the royal grandson your highness ……”

Also Lost Ha: “……”

This kind of comparison is not something that an ordinary person would dare to say to the Emperor in this way.

Sometimes on the bold, also lost ha is really convinced Zhang Anshi.

Thinking of this, Yiluoha couldn’t help but envy Zhang Anshi. People are different from each other, and Zhang Anshi has a bottom line.

See, Zhu Di listened to it, but his face was much milder.

Zhang Anshi added: “There is something else, Your Majesty, these days, I fell …… and this Ma Yu, to facilitate something.”

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi and couldn’t help but let out a hint of curiosity, saying, “What is it?”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, “In order to raise capital for Ma Yu’s shipping industry, he did allow the Qixia Merchant Bank to inject some funds into his shipyard and acquire some shares of the shipyard.”

As soon as Zhu heard this, he immediately understood.

This Ma’s boat line, the original Qixia merchant bank also has a share of the Qixia merchant bank, Zhu Di and shares, on the basis of, this is the family business it!

Now, Zhu had something in mind.

Immediately, Zhu Di will be also lost in the Ha roared: “into your mother, all day long bow and snake, serious things do not do, caught innocent loyal people to investigate, to do something serious, if not, I want the East Chamber of what use?”

Also Lost Ha: “……”

This also lost Ha ton revealed the color of aggrieved, panicked and knelt down to ask for punishment: “slave girl ten thousand deaths, slave girl …… in the future, no longer dare …… to dare …… to dare. ”

Zhang Anshi immediately said, “But to say the least, also lost Eunuch Ha so dedicated, has been rare. Your Majesty, in fact, there’s nothing wrong with checking it out, what I’m most afraid of is the people underneath, refusing to do their best.”

Doing your best is a matter of attitude, checking for mistakes is a matter of skill.

Yiluoha’s attitude was still very proper, and these words caused Zhu Di’s anger to subside at once.

Zhu Di then said, “That’s right, the factory guards are supposed to catch the wind, get up.”

Also lost Ha resentfully stood up, the heart sour, he felt like this year, as if everything is not good, as if doing something will be wrong.

Could …… it be that this east factory grams itself?

“The slave girl thanked Your Majesty.”

Zhu only nodded.

After not much time, Yang Rong and others will come together to see, Yang Rong first reported some of the ministries of the Church.

Zhu Di patiently listened to listen, just the side listening, eyebrows slightly wrinkled, snapped: “Yang Qing, Secretary how the body has a sour smell?”

Yang Rong’s few snapped, with a speechless look on their faces.

Hu Guang fell awkwardly, “Your Majesty, line here, bathing a trip is not easy ……鑷ｇ瓑……鑷ｇ瓑……鑷ｇ瓑…… ”

Zhu Di revealed a sudden realization of the color, and then sighed: “difficult for you, and so the number of money and food, roughly out of the results, I will drive back to the palace, the Secretary to insist on some days.”

Yang Rong then said, “I am honored by Your Majesty’s graciousness, and some difficulties are not enough.”

Zhu Di hmmm, seems to think of something, but is heavy heartedly said, “Where did the royal grandson go today?”

“Heard that went down to the countryside to check on water conservation.”

Zhu Di said, “Water conservancy is a big deal, I heard that he had the heavy responsibility of water conservancy when he was in Taipingfu?”

Zhang Anshi, who was on the side, immediately said as if he were counting, “He was once in charge of Dangtu County.”

Zhu Di nodded, then said: “Young people should be more experience one or two, I was, is so experienced out, of course,…… once upon a time only need to know farming, through the soldiers and horses, will be enough. But nowadays, it is very different, Zhanji to learn things, there are still more.”

Zhang Anshi smiled, ”Yes, I also think so. However, practicing is one thing, the important thing is that the imperial grandson can have a proper heart and sincerity. In the capital, quite a few honored ministers after, but also want to let them to sharpen some, but their mind, but in the flying eagle teasing the dog on the head, but it is difficult to become a great talent.”

Zhu Di smiled at his words and said with a look of honor, “Yes, it still depends on its heart and mind.”

As he was speaking, a eunuch outside joyfully came in and said, “Your Majesty, the royal grandson has returned.”

“Called.” Zhu was overjoyed, and the whole person seemed to have an infinite amount of spiritual energy all of a sudden.

Shortly afterward, Zhu Zhanji returned with a bit of fatigue and saluted Zhu Di, “Sun Chen has met his imperial grandfather.”

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhanji with burning eyes and said intimately, “Fang also talked about you, how is it, it’s very hard, right?”

“It is not hard.” Zhu Zhanji said: “Sun in and out of the car, tired at any time someone for Sun ready to rest place, hungry will be served wine and food, compared with the people, I do not know how much easier, talk about what hard it. Today Sun Chen see farmers sowing, are early in the morning out in the dark, a family of young and old, laboring in the fields, noon is not home, but are eating early in the morning to bring a few steamed cakes, grassy belly, today there is a rainy day, shelter from the wind and rain things, is just a bucket hat, the body of the clothes wet, but also too late to change.”

Zhu listened, but he was solemn.

Yang Rong and the others nodded secretly and subconsciously glanced at Zhang Anshi.

The heart muttered, Zhang Anshi such a person, actually taught the royal grandson this kind of holy grandson, really …… really incomprehensible.

Of course, Yang Rong is not to Zhang Anshi’s ability to have any preconceived notions, nor is it speculate on Zhang Anshi’s moral problems, just that this Zhang Anshi’s laziness to eat and do nothing, but we all see in the eyes.

But I saw Zhu Zhanji added: “There are many others, all youngsters like Sun Chen, but much darker and thinner than Sun Chen, but they also follow their fathers and brothers, busy in the fields, not daring to have the slightest slackness, and their bare feet are cut by the debris in the mud, but they are also unaware of it.”

Said here, Zhu Zhanji reveals the color of feeling, then said: “This kind of scene, Sun Chen saw really more than a few, this is still and state, the people have been divided into fields, if it is the other state capitals, it is even more unimaginable, visible people’s livelihoods more difficult, if not seen with their own eyes, ordinary people are really difficult to imagine.”

Zhu Di, on the other hand, could not help but say with emotion, “If Emperor Taizu Gao knew that he had this descendant, he would have to be overjoyed.”

Zhu Zhanji added: “In addition to this, it is the Hezhou side, roughly has also counted the number of this year’s money and grain, of course, this is only the Hezhou this state’s conversion, the summer tax has not yet been collected, just a rough estimate.”

Zhu Di’s eyes lit up, and he quickly came out of his feelings, and immediately perked up, “Really, this fast?”

……

Today there are things to be busy, so set the alarm clock at 3:00 a.m. to get up to code words, the tiger feels that he is also a spell, well, continue to ask for a monthly vote, well, dear students, vote, so that the laborious little tiger happy!
