Chapter 158 Zhang Xingcai (two chapters in one)
“Didn’t brother say not to attack those Qiang and Di people for the time being?” Zhao Guang geared up his hands, looking eager to give it a try, “Isn’t it possible that brother has changed his mind?”
"Hey!" Feng Yong was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, "How can it be the same? If the Di people take the initiative to invade, they will naturally have to deal with them properly, and other barbarians will not think there is any problem. But if we take the initiative now If the news spreads about attacking the barbarians, who will we turn to to collect wool next year?"
I asked you ancients, can you not be so straightforward in your thinking? When you see the benefits, you want to grab them, are you a bandit? Even the old demon Zhuge looks like he is desperate for money, and even five hundred people are not willing to give it to me...
When he thought of this, Feng Yong was filled with resentment.
Can’t you think about sustainable development? What's the point of killing him directly? It is only right to maximize its potential value!
Do you really think you are the world’s boss and can do whatever you want?
Okay, let me pretend that I didn’t say the above sentence, you are the world’s boss, no, you are the world’s boss.
But if you rob people first, you will scare the barbarians outside the country. If the news spreads, who will dare to come and trade with you when the wool is harvested next year?
It's different if you trade wool with them first. If you let them benefit, your reputation will be established first. If they attack the Hu people in the country later, they will not feel that they are specifically targeting the Hu people.
“Brother, do you want to go to the city again?”
Zhao Guang finally understood where he was stupid this time, and he only dared to ask in a low voice.
“What do you think?”
Feng Yong asked back angrily.
“Also, have you found out who is in charge of Hanzhongye now?”
It was originally agreed that he would be the chief officer of Hanzhong Ye, but he never thought that Zhuge Lao Yao would be more generous than expected in the end and gave him a Hanzhong dianong officer.
Although, in the eyes of many people, this Hanzhong agricultural officer is not as beneficial as the supervisory order of Hanzhongye. After all, Hanzhongye holds the right to make the eight-niu plow.
But again, those who understand will understand naturally, and those who don’t understand will understand after a few years.
Besides, I have also been the chief officer of various industry supervisors, and now I have become the agricultural officer of Hanzhong County. It stands to reason that he can also chatter a few words in Hanzhong County.
When the imperial power is strong, the emperor's people are naturally only managed by the emperor or those authorized by the emperor. But now that poor kid Adou... forget it.
So Feng Yong felt that he could also show his prestige in front of the emperor's servants. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that Hanzhong Ye also has another task, which is to manage the imperial village in Hanzhong and provide for the royal family.
This involves a question: How to make the Imperial Village produce output as quickly as possible to satisfy the emperor thousands of miles away?
Now we can't count on Jincheng. Old Demon Zhuge has even controlled the supervisors who made the Eight-Niu Plow. If Adou wants some pocket money, he probably can only look to Hanzhong Ye.
Now Feng Yong has given the way to make money to the queen, and is waiting for Han MCC's cooperation. Therefore, it is also a preparation to inquire about the principals of MCC Haohan in advance to see how to deal with them in the future.
“After asking around clearly, I heard that the current Hanzhongye Linling is the descendant of General Nahuo, Huo Shaoxian.”
“Who? Which General Huo?”
“It’s the General Huo whom my brother praised in Han Shou.”
“Huo Ge?”
Feng Yong suddenly blurted out.
“Huh? Brother also knows this person?”
How could I not know? In the late Shu Han Dynasty, the talents were withering, and there were only a few outstanding figures. Of course I know that.
“How did he come to Hanzhong to serve as a supervisor? No…”
Just as I was about to say that I was not serving as the governor of Nanzhong, I suddenly remembered that Huo Ge would not arrive in Nanzhong for decades.
Adou is such a confused person. When Zhong Hui came to Jiange and Huo Ge wanted to bring soldiers from Nanzhong to serve the king, he actually refused. He simply thought that Ansheng had lived too long and he insisted on experiencing the destruction of the country and the family. It was simply Makes you speechless.
“Then Huo Shaoxian, what official position did he originally hold? Why did he come to Hanzhong to serve as a supervisor?”
“Huo Shaoxian was originally a descendant of the crown prince, and he was given the position of visitor after your majesty ascended the throne. Later, your majesty newly established Han Zhongye, so he became the supervisor.”
I understand, this Huo Ge seems to be a friend who has been playing with Adou for a long time, and he is considered to be Adou's confidant.
As for why Huo Ge was allowed to be the supervisor of Hanzhong Metallurgical Engineering Co., Ltd. to make money, why didn't he ask his own confidants and the prime minister's confidants to come?
The little abacus worked pretty well, and there was a beep sound. It seems that there is still someone in Adou’s pocket!
“Is Erlang familiar with him?”
“Not that I’m familiar with him, but I’m quite familiar with my brother.”
The second generation of officials are also divided into different levels. People like Zhao Tong, Guan Xing, Zhang Bao and Huo Ge all belong to the first echelon of the second generation of officials and are trained as successors.
As for Zhao Guang, it depends on luck. Those who have the ability to stand out will do so, and those who are unable to stand up will be left to die.
“What is this person’s personality like?”
“I heard this mentioned by my eldest brother. My eldest brother once praised Huo Shaoxian for being a steady person with outstanding talents, but he also knew the general situation and knew how to advance and retreat. He said that he was not as good as him.”
Zhao Tong is certainly not as good as Huo Ge.
Otherwise, given Zhao Yun's kindness to Adou, if Zhao Tong had not been too mediocre in ability to make a move, Adou, an honest man, would not have let him sit idle and wait to die.
Even Zhao Guang, who looked like a fool in front of him, was favored by Jiang Wei, took him to the Northern Expedition, and was finally entrusted with the important task of ending the war.
So, Zhao Guang, at least in terms of leading troops, has not lost the face of the old Zhao family.
As for Huo Ge, he was even more impressive. He was the governor of Nanzhong, guarding one side and becoming a frontier official.
“Just know how to advance and retreat.”
Knowing how to advance and retreat means that you are not a rigid person and know how to be flexible. As long as he can help Hanzhongye complete the task of making money for Adou, I guess he won't be too rigid.
Feng Yong knew it in his heart, and then he said "tsk" again, thinking to himself, he wonders how Guan Ji is doing things now? Has the Queen made sense?
These days, there are no phones, no Internet, and even difficult roads. Communication is such a waste of time.
Until there is news from Jincheng, he can only wait.
Thought for a while, and shouted to the door: "Amei, amei."
Amei came in and bowed his head.
After giving instructions to Amei, he said to Zhao Guang: "Go and call Zushi and Wenxuan, and tell them that I have something to discuss."
Feng Yong had just finished talking about the Queen in Hanzhong, and the Queen was also talking about Feng Yong in the palace.
When Liu Chan got the secret report from Guan Xing, he was so happy that he almost grinned from ear to ear if he didn't want to maintain the majesty of the monarch.
It’s not easy!
Adou thought about himself, the past ten years have really not been easy.
Since he was a child, he was almost killed in the war (Changbanpo), and then almost was abducted (Mrs. Sun took him to Soochow). When he grew up, he became more sensible, but he had to live under the shadow of the late emperor.
After the late emperor left, it was the turn of the prime minister. Even the income from the various prisons under his own name had to be put into the state treasury. However, the food in the palace was not even as good as that of the old country man (Feng Zhuang). It was simply miserable. .
Now, someone finally remembers himself as the emperor!
Finally, I can have a share of internal funds that I can use as my master?
A Dou thought about it and felt like tears filled his eyes again.
This Feng Mingwen is very sensible and loyal!
Even Guan Xing, who came to deliver a message, made him feel suddenly satisfied.
After Guan Xing left, Adou happily went to the harem to find the queen.
But when he saw Zhang Xingcai, who had a bulging belly and could not move easily, he hesitated again.
Logically speaking, at this time, the queen should rest quietly and try not to get involved in trivial matters. Wouldn't it be bad if I bothered her with this kind of thing at this time?
What kind of person is Zhang Xingcai? One look at Adou's appearance and he knew that something was going on.
"Your Majesty, you have something to do with me?"
Zhang Xingcai asked softly while lying on the tribute couch, stroking his belly with his hand.
She was in such a state that she could no longer salute. In private, A Dou did not dare to let her move.
However, with the recliner presented by Feng Zhuang, the queen usually half-lyed and half-sited, which was quite comfortable.
"There is something wrong." Adou sat next to the Queen and looked at the Queen's belly, "But it's okay now."
"The emperor doesn't look like he's okay." The queen held Adou's hand, "Since the day I met the emperor, the emperor has never been able to deceive me. Please tell me, otherwise I will also be worried."
Adou smiled. He didn't look like an emperor at all, but looked a little like Alang, who dotes on his wife in an ordinary family.
He was self-aware and knew that he could not match the intelligence of the person beside him. After all, she was praised by even the late emperor.
In the past, when something difficult happened, he would always come over and ask the Queen for her ideas. The Queen would most likely not disappoint him and would always come up with some ideas that he thought were good solutions.
“It’s not a difficult thing.”
I immediately told what Guan Xing had reported.
After hearing this, the queen smiled calmly: "Before the emperor came, my mother also sent someone to tell me that Guan Ji went to the house and gave Siniang a contract, which was related to the Hanzhong Ranch. "
“For Si Niang?” Adou asked in surprise.
"Yes. Then Feng Langjun gave Siniang a share of the Hanzhong Ranch." The queen smiled, "Although my mother did not agree to sign on the spot, she kept the contract, and then sent people into the palace to take over the contract. The incident and the concubine’s body.”
"Why don't you agree?" When Adou heard this, he felt a little anxious, and finally got some hope. Is there any problem in this?
As soon as the queen saw Adou's appearance, she knew what he was thinking. She tapped his head with her finger and said, "You!"
After doing this, I suddenly realized that something was wrong. I looked around and found that the palace people had their heads lowered and did not dare to look over. Then I felt relieved and ordered: "You guys go down first."
Adou didn't care at all. After the palace man disappeared, he grabbed the queen's hand back and said with a smile: "Xi Jun, do you know what I am thinking?"
The queen glanced at Adou angrily and said, "If I didn't know about Dalang's thoughts, wouldn't it be that I became the queen in vain?"
“Tell me, Mr. Xi, can we do this?”
The relationship between the two is still very good. When there are no other people, they use the title of an ordinary couple, which is very interesting.
The queen did not agree immediately, but closed her eyes slightly, seeming to be thinking about what was wrong with this.
Adou did not interrupt, but sat quietly next to him, waiting for the queen's idea.
Unexpectedly, after a while, the queen's frown became deeper and deeper. Adou looked at it and felt a thump in his heart. Finally he couldn't help but asked tentatively: "Do you think something is wrong, Mr. Xi?"
The queen quietly opened her eyes a little, and when she saw Ah Dou's anxious look, she couldn't help but smile: "Why do you need to be anxious, Ah Lang? Don't worry, just take care of this matter. Don't forget that Han Zhongye is still a concubine. Isn't what I proposed to Alang just to make some money for the palace? As the master of the world, Alang has his own internal funds, which is the right thing to do."
Adou then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good."
Said, he held the queen's hand again, "I am really lucky to have a detailed plan in my life."
At the same time, I sighed inwardly at my master's discernment in finding such a virtuous wife for me.
One of the queen's hands was held by Adou, but the other hand was still caressing her belly, feeling the fetal movement, her eyes were a little bright: "Then Feng Langjun has a slang saying, although it is ugly, but it is reasonable. , It’s difficult to call a man without money. The emperor is the lord of all people, if the inner government doesn’t even have any income, wouldn’t it be a joke? "
“Yes, yes!” Adou said excitedly, “So, the queen knows my heart. And Feng Mingwen is also loyal and patriotic!”
"Feng Langjun is about the same age as your Majesty, and he is talented. He is a person who can be of great use. Your Majesty should not have any dissatisfaction with Feng Langjun because of the young and ignorant words of my little sister."
Although the emperor is about to become a father, his temperament is still a little uncertain. His younger sister's remarks that the palace is not as fun as Feng Zhuang's have aroused his childish irritation, but the queen is well aware of it.
"No, no." Adou waved his hand, "Feng Mingwen is so loyal and patriotic, how can I have any dissatisfaction with him?"
“That’s good, I haven’t seen Sister Guan for a long time, so why not take this opportunity to call her into the palace, and I will tell her in detail.”
"Okay, okay." Adou rubbed his hands, glanced at the queen again, and asked with some concern, "How about the queen rest today and recuperate before we talk tomorrow?"
“It doesn’t matter.”
Zhang Xingcai shook his head, "Although my mother didn't sign the contract on the spot, she left it in the house. Her meaning was very clear. She also wanted Si Niang to get the share. It would be better to settle this matter earlier. , otherwise, it will be bad if something unexpected happens.”
What can happen?
Adou thought to himself, I am the emperor, how could anyone dare to rob me of my small money?
As soon as this thought came up, a huge shadow appeared in front of his eyes, and he shuddered immediately, "Yes, yes, it would be better to settle on it sooner."
I was too lazy to develop them separately, so I merged them together directly.
