Chapter 1294 Comprador
"Mi Langjun, I came here this time. In addition to wanting to thank you personally, I also want to ask Mi Langjun for advice. Now that the prince and King Lu stand side by side in the palace, what should I do?"
Lu Zhongshu of the school affairs office sincerely asked Mi Shiyilang for advice.
After all, Mi Langjun once said personally that he was Shiyi Lang, right?
Still, the school's government was disgusted in Wu State.
They are not afraid of ruining their reputation.
Therefore, the school officials in the government relied on Sun Quan's secret indulgence to make false accusations and slanders that would not be put on the stage, and they were good at persecuting ministers.
But he wanted to use his own power to provoke the two parties to fight and play with the entire Wu court so that they could take advantage of the chaos.
Such a large-scale layout would be impossible for all the people in the entire school administration combined to accomplish.
Lv Yi, who has tasted the benefits for the first time, can already vaguely see the huge benefits that the school office will get from this matter.
So this time, he couldn't wait to run over, just to ask Mi Langjun, or to be precise, to ask the chief commander behind Mi Langjun:
What should you and others do next?
Those of you who are married to his mother, you so-called scholars and Confucian scholars, you are the enemy of the officials and the people and the traitors of the country.
But the things you and your family did in Jingzhou were nowhere better than our school affairs office!
The things we should hand over to His Majesty are quite a lot of money.
what about you?
Don’t pay a penny!
This can be said to be like a dog and a pig?
Okay now, if you don’t help me, someone else will!
In fact, for so many years, the attitude of the school administration, represented by Lu Yi, towards the Xinghan Association has always been one of sincere cooperation, mutual benefit and mutual trust.
Even expressed gratitude to someone named Feng, the leader of the Xinghan Society.
After all, Mr. Feng not only pulled the school government out of crisis, but also gave him huge benefits.
Even mentioned several points later, each time benefiting the school office a lot.
Not only Feng Hui leader, but also relevant personnel of Xinghan Hui have also tried their best to help many times.
The school affairs office has not listened to the opinions of relevant personnel of the Xinghan Society not once or twice.
For example, a few years ago, Mr. Ma also made suggestions and helped the school affairs office a lot.
After Mr. Ma returned to the Han Kingdom, Lu Yi felt regretful for a while, not expecting that another Mr. Mi Lang would come now.
Subconsciously, even a villain like Lu Yi subconsciously believed that it was natural to discuss matters with people from the Xinghan Society.
After all, is there any better ally in the world than the Xinghan Society?
No!
In the territory of Wu, everyone from the prince to the officials and the people deeply hated themselves and others.
This has nothing to do with whether the school government has offended them.
Just because in their eyes, they do not criticize the school affairs office or be enemies of the school affairs office.
It is not enough to show their loyalty to His Majesty and the imperial court.
It is not enough to show their integrity, loyalty and hard work, and they hate evil as much as they hate evil.
To put it bluntly, even His Majesty, under pressure, considered sending the school office away to appease the anger of the ministers.
If he and others had not worked hard to save themselves, whether the Dawu School Office would still exist today is a matter of two opinions.
So, if you don’t believe in the Xinghan Hui, who can you believe in?
Do you believe those who act like dogs and pigs?
Facing Lu Yi’s earnest gaze, Mi Langjun felt something different in his heart:
Isn’t the School Office a close associate of Sun Quan? The school secretary, Fu Zhongshu, actually came to ask himself such questions.
crazy?
No, it should be said, what kind of drug did the brother give to the other party?
Or... this Lu Yi, is it a detailed work arranged by his brother in the Wu Kingdom in his early years?
It’s not that he thinks so, but he is used to Feng’s various methods of digging holes and burying people, so he can’t help but think this way.
With his heart racing, Mi Langjun repeated:
“What’s next?”
What to do next?
It’s just that my brother didn’t seem to tell me what to do next...
Although Mi Langjun has seen big storms, and he can be regarded as a relative of the emperor.
It can be said that I have never eaten pork, but I have also seen pigs running away.
However, in such important matters of national affairs, one must be careful and cautious at every step. This is not the time for him to make decisions at will.
After all, he has not yet reached the point where his brother seems to be making a casual move, but in fact, he has to wait several years or even more than ten years before he can see the hidden conspiracy.
If you come up with an idea that seems to be to help but is actually the opposite, then you have good intentions and bad things.
At this time, Mi Langjun was completely convinced that his brother should have played this game of chess a long time ago, and now is the critical time to make a move.
Seeing him think for a moment, he slowly replied:
"The results of such a major event cannot be seen overnight. The situation has already begun. In the Second Palace of Nanlu, it is impossible for either side to have a way out."
“In my opinion, more and more people in the DPRK will be involved, so why should Lu Zhongshu be anxious?”
“You only need to sit on the mountain for a while and watch the fight between tigers and secretly observe the officials to prepare for your majesty’s needs. Moreover, the more fierce the dispute between the courtiers, the more beneficial it will be to the school affairs office, isn’t it?”
Be constant in the face of ever-changing situations. It is better not to act rashly until you know your brother's next move.
Unexpectedly, when Lu Yi heard what Mi Langjun said, his face lit up and he nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, that's exactly it."
What Mi Langjun said is very good!
The more ministers involved in this matter, the more chaotic the situation will be, and the more opportunities the school affairs office will be able to take advantage of secretly.
Our school affairs office was very skilled at doing this back then.
Then Lu Yi hesitated for a moment, and then looked at Mi Langjun hopefully:
“I just don’t know how long we have to wait secretly until the time is right?”
This really confused Mi Langjun.
But seeing him calmly said:
"Don't be impatient, Lu Zhongshu. I will definitely send a letter back to Chang'an about the Prince and King Lu's coexistence in the palace. I'm sure my brother will have a letter delivered by then."
Lu Yi and others, isn’t this the sentence?
I saw him let out a long sigh of relief:
"That's good, that's good. Thank you so much, Mr. Mi Lang! Then I'll wait for the good news from Da Sima?"
"It should, it should." Mi Langjun smiled, stretched out his index finger, and pointed back and forth between the two of them a few times, "They are all helping each other!"
“Actually, this time in Jingzhou, we also found tariffs in several places. It seems that there are some minor problems, so we may need help from the school affairs office..."
(Chapter 1117, according to the lease agreement reached between Han and Wu, Han helped Wu build a cavalry army, borrowed money, equipment and war horses. One of the conditions was that Wu needed to use customs duties as collateral)
Hearing Mi Langjun’s words, Lu Yi didn’t even ask what the question was. He just patted his chest and said:
"Mi Langjun, just tell me where it is. If anyone is not discerning and dares to play tricks on the customs duties, I will send the school secretary there immediately!"
Get it back if you go against it!
In Jiangdong, whether or how to pay taxes is not decided by the school affairs office.
But in Jingzhou…
The school government can ignore you if you commit murder and arson, but if you don’t pay customs duties, that won’t work!
Don't tell your husband which family protects you.
Even if the heads of the four major families in Jiangdong want to transport goods through Jingzhou, they still have to pay!
This is not only related to the foundation of the cooperation between the School Affairs Office and the Han Dynasty, but also the foundation of the School Affairs Office's foothold in front of His Majesty.
As long as we charge less money, the school office will be the first in front of His Majesty.
If it cannot collect money, the school office will be nothing in front of His Majesty.
The military leader?
The military leader is even simpler.
Do you know how the school affairs office started?
It would be too naive to think that since there has been no movement in the school affairs office in the past few years, it will not supervise all officials.
Who will your Majesty trust more when it comes to money and food?
“Then there’s Lao Lu Zhongshu.”
Mi Langjun doesn’t care who will be unlucky in the next few days. Anyway, he only wants to guarantee one thing: pay taxes in full!
What kind of unprecedented harsh government?
What does it have to do with me, a big man?
Aren’t the people who went to collect the money from you people from the State of Wu?
What I want is for you right-wingers to develop a good habit of paying taxes.
—
In the seventh month, the fire is flowing, in the eighth month, it is still young, and in the ninth month, the clothes are given.
At the end of August, the summer heat has completely subsided, and the autumn air is crisp. This is the time when the climate in Chang'an City is the most pleasant.
Feng Dashima held the letter sent from Wu State with a strange smile on his face:
"Sun Shiwan sent people to sea again? This time it was such a big deal, there were actually 30,000 people."
Remember when we sent people to find Yizhou, there were only 10,000 people, right?
“It seems that the ambition is not small...”
As soon as he thought of this, the smile on Feng Da Sima’s face grew wider. Coupled with the weird expression, it looked like the smile of a fool in the later tram series.
The light dimmed, and someone seemed to pass by the door, and he poked his head. He seemed to be frightened by Feng's smile, and he quickly wanted to leave quietly.
“Come back! Why are you running?”
Feng Da Sima reacted quickly and shouted immediately.
A head appeared at the door again. Hua Xiaowu's eyes rolled, and he pointed at himself, "Alang is calling me?"
I don’t know whether she accepted her fate after giving birth to the child, or whether she fell in love over time and was convinced by sleep.
In the backyard of Da Sima Mansion, with no outsiders around, Hua Xiaowu finally followed the trend and called someone Feng Alang.
Feng Da Sima said angrily:
"Who am I not telling you to call? Come in quickly, I have something to tell you."
Hua Xiaowu turned her head and looked around, finding no one else. She reluctantly stepped over the threshold and said slowly:
"I was just passing by and wanted to find Amei..."
Let me come in, maybe there is nothing good going on, otherwise why is there no one else in the room?
Feng Da Sima made a sound, very dissatisfied with this mistress who dared to lie to him:
"Amei has been busy working on steam engines on the Weishui River these days. I have to send someone to urge her back after dark. Where are you going to find her?"
“Go to the Wei River...”
“How dare you!” Feng Da Sima glared at his mistress, “Amei’s research is at its most critical moment. If you dare to disturb her, see how I deal with you!”
The principle of steam engines is extracurricular knowledge that primary school students can access.
But how to build a prototype—it doesn’t require high performance, just that it can move—is a problem that Amei has been trying to solve for more than ten years.
Because Feng Da Sima didn’t have a good solution for this.
This thing involves the issue of raw materials.
To refine steel that meets the requirements, you must go through countless experiments.
He didn’t want Amei, a national treasure engineer, to have an accident due to expansion or explosion when using some substandard and shoddy products.
Selfishly, he didn’t want the child to lose his biological mother before he grew up.
For Feng, the most urgent goal of the Han Dynasty in the early years was not to develop one or two new weapons, but to establish a national system capable of defeating Wei.
Because the weapons used are always people.
Until they captured Bingzhou and Xinghanhui was able to carry out large-scale steelmaking in Pingcheng and Jiuyuan, this was considered to have provided Amei with enough steel materials for her to squander.
Then there is the rubber material.
However, this problem is not a big problem for Feng.
After all, in his previous life, he was guarding the country's border in the Northwest. He knew that a kind of grass grew in the Northwest, called rubber grass. He heard that the origin was still in the Tianshan Mountains.
Everyone knows that rubber trees produce rubber, but they don’t know that rubber grass is one of the three largest rubber-producing plants in the world along with rubber trees.
Just by hearing this title, you will know that rubber grass has the ability to produce rubber, with high yield and no pressure.
When he went to the local area to support his fellow villagers, Mr. Feng helped him build a small shed and cover it with membranes. The fellow villager was grateful and enthusiastically introduced him and his comrades.
It is said that this is a nursery for rubber grass. This thing is very powerful. If Nanyang does not provide us with rubber, we in the northwest will have backup strategic rubber and so on.
The beating of chicken blood completely activated Feng's patriotic enthusiasm, and he was able to swing the **** very fast...
It was that experience that made Feng know that there is the last glue-producing plant called guayule.
But this, like the rubber tree, is native to America, so I won’t go into details.
Feng is now unable to go to the Americas to dig rubber trees and guayule, but sending people to the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions to dig rubber grass is just a matter of words.
It can be said that the Dunhuang Zhang family made a great contribution to the Han Dynasty's reconnection with the Western Regions.
Of course, digging rubber grass is not an easy task.
After all, people in this era have no idea what the use of this thing is.
But fortunately its characteristics are still very obvious.
So after many twists and turns, people finally found the real rubber grass.
Once you have it, you still have to plant it.
For successful planting, you must first transplant.
Daliangzhou is the most suitable place for transplantation.
And if you want to successfully transplant on a large scale, you have to find planting experts in this field.
So Li Xu made a brilliant appearance.
Li Xu, who had already written half of the manuscript of "Xu's Agricultural Book", traveled almost all over Liangzhou and Shu in the early years, planting beans, rice, wheat and rice.
You have to improve Feng Jin's main fruit, such as cold melon peach.
He also had to transplant and try out all kinds of strange plant seeds collected from unknown places - such as Linyi rice and rubber grass.
Without these years of experience, how could she have dared to say that she wanted to write a farming book?
After the trial planting is successful, we have to find a way to plant it on a large scale.
Only through large-scale planting can we try to refine it, and then try to make rubber...
With all kinds of things, how can it be easy?
So, without establishing a basic system, it is really beautiful to think of changing the historical trend with just one, two, three, four or five new gadgets.
The system is crushed, which is the right way.
It was only in the past two years that all the materials were prepared, and Amei could not wait to start experimenting with building the steam engine she had been thinking about for an unknown amount of time.
I don’t know when the prototype was built.
I don’t know when it was improved from a prototype machine to a practical machine.
Feng does not have high hopes for the time being when it can be put into practical use on a large scale.
How could the ignorant Hua Xiaowu know these twists and turns?
She only thought that someone Feng wanted to cause trouble for her again.
You are really dissatisfied with me and want to deal with me when no one is around?
Hua Xiaowu’s eyes rolled again.
“Why haven’t you come over yet?”
"oh…"
“Sit next to.”
Feng Da Sima raised his chin and signaled.
"oh."
Hua Xiaowu sat down obediently.
After pondering for a moment, Feng Dasima asked:
“Do you have a spokesperson for your cavalry on Jiuzhen and Rinan’s side?”
