Chapter 909 Recommendation
“The Queen’s words are very kind!”
Feng Jishi quickly agreed.
It is a good idea for the imperial court to send officials to set up Yishi in Yong'an to manage transactions with Wu.
If the transactions with Wei State were not fair and aboveboard, Governor Feng would not have done what he did earlier.
Even so, he also asked Li Mu to pay attention to collecting information on the supplies shipped to Wei State, and inferred some things from it that ordinary people would not notice.
Zhang Xingcai actually said this casually as his heart moved.
After all, after staying in Hanzhong for so long, the Nanxiang Exchange was so popular that she secretly visited it in person.
A small exchange could actually affect the prices of bulk materials all over the Han Dynasty, which was an eye-opener for the Queen of the Han Dynasty.
The principles and reasons are all very complicated, and Zhang Xingcai could not fully understand them.
But this does not prevent her from following suit and trying to establish a trading method that will have an impact on Wu State.
In this regard, Feng Yong is naturally the best person to ask.
Hearing that he agreed with her, Zhang Xingcai smiled:
“Ming Wen also thinks so? But I don’t know who is suitable for this?”
Feng Yong thought about it for a moment, but he really thought of someone.
"I do have a candidate. He is from Qianwei County, Yizhou. He is quite talented. Most importantly, he is upright and outspoken."
“A person who has been recommended clearly must be good, but I don’t know his name?”
“A waste of poetry and a waste of public service.”
When Zhang Xingcai heard this, he frowned slightly:
"Fei Shi? The Fei Shi who was demoted by the late emperor to work in Yongchang County?"
“Exactly.”
After Liu Bei stationed in Yizhou, Fei Shi was first appointed as the military governor, then as the prefect of Zoke County, and finally as the Sima of the front department of Yizhou.
When Liu Bei proclaimed himself King of Hanzhong, he appointed Guan Yu, the governor of Jingzhou, as a former general.
Unexpectedly, when Guan Yu learned that Huang Zhong was appointed as the rear general, he refused to accept it: "A man will never be ranked with a veteran!"
Facing Guan Yu's arrogance, Fei Shi took Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty as an example, and after some rhetoric, he said that Guan Yu had great insights.
Unexpectedly, two years later, the officials discussed and wanted to elect the late emperor to the throne. Fei Shi wrote a letter to object, which made Liu Bei furious and demoted him to work in Yongchang.
However, for unknown reasons, Fei Shi did not actually take office until the third year of Jianxing, when he followed the Prime Minister on the southern expedition.
At that time, Li Honglai from Wei came to surrender and said that Mengda wanted to return to the Han Dynasty. The prime minister wanted to communicate with Mengda for the Northern Expedition.
Fei Shi objected on the spot, saying that Mengda was a capricious villain and could not be trusted.
It was naturally impossible for the Prime Minister to tell Fei Shi all about his plans for the Northern Expedition, so he just remained silent.
He who defied the late emperor and did not learn his lesson, yet dared to continue defying the prime minister, is indeed a person who is upright and dares to speak out.
It is a pity that his political sensitivity is not very good, and his personality is not suitable for officialdom, so up to now, he is still just a member of the Council of Ministers.
After the victory of the Southern Expedition, Feng Yong also dealt with Fei Shi in Wei County.
When Ghost King Feng pitted Young Master Hua’s curly-haired red rabbit horse, Fei Shi thought that Ghost King Feng was trying to bully others.
After learning the truth later, he apologized to King Feng Gui in public.
He is so upright and upright, so King Feng Gui has always had a good impression of him.
Hearing that Feng Yong recommended this person, Zhang Xingcai asked hesitantly:
“Is it appropriate for Fei Gong to promote this person?”
Feng Yong nodded:
“Definitely suitable.”
As he spoke, Governor Feng showed a smile on his face:
“Don’t forget, Queen, that Fei Gongju is from Yizhou, so it is convenient for him to deal with the major families in Yizhou.”
“If we can really open up channels for selling grain in Wu State in the future, Jiangzhou alone may not be enough.”
“Grain is produced in central Sichuan, and the big families in Shu County, Guanghan, Qianwei and other counties may have saved a lot of food over the years, and the imperial court just gave them an opportunity to win people’s hearts.”
With the establishment of the Royal Academy, the two major foundations on which the aristocratic families depended, farming and reading, were almost completely destroyed.
The rope around their necks could also be loosened a little.
In addition, Dahan has developed too fast over the years, and the economy has also experienced some inflation.
The price of grain on the exchange has crossed the red line of 200 yuan, which is an example.
So for the healthy development of the Han economy, it is necessary to transfer these inflations out through trade exports.
Let the grain in the hands of aristocratic families in Shu be dumped to Jingzhou in a planned way, giving them a profit channel and a taste of some sweetness.
At the same time, we can also test Soochow's reaction, try to guide Jingzhou's economic development direction, and control Jingzhou's grain output. Why not?
As for the mutual market, the court will not have the final say on how much taxes will be levied on the aristocratic families?
Hearing Feng Jishi’s plan, Zhang Xingcai applauded:
"How wonderful! 'The one who wins before the battle is in the temple has to be more', I finally know! If Feng Qing's plan is successful, this is the so-called victory over the imperial court!"
Although Adou only understood part of it, it must have been an excellent plan to get the queen's praise.
So the little fat man also echoed:
“It’s very true, Mingwen is indeed a great talent!”
After the emperor and his ministers had discussed their policies, night had fallen. After declining the emperor's invitation to stay overnight in the palace, Feng Governor returned to the small courtyard of the college.
Li Yi has been waiting there for a long time.
“Why didn’t Wenxuan go see Governor Li?”
Feng Yong asked somewhat unexpectedly.
"It's getting late. Your Majesty is not in good health and needs to rest early, so I won't bother you. I've already sent someone to pass the message and I'll go and say hello tomorrow morning."
Li Yi explained.
Feng Yong nodded:
"I see."
He lay on the sofa, rubbed his temples tiredly, and sighed:
"General Zhao and Governor Li are indeed a little weak. I heard from people at the medical school that every winter and spring in the past two years, they will catch wind and cold if they are not careful."
Li Yi smiled bitterly and said:
“My lord has looked away for a long time. He said that now he can earn as long as he can.”
"Old General Zhao said the same thing." Feng Yong exhaled and asked, "Old generals go into battle to kill the enemy. They are used to seeing life and death, so they are more open-minded than us."
He looked at Li Yi sitting on the other side and asked:
“What’s going on in the Prime Minister’s house now?”
"The Prime Minister's health is much better and he can handle government affairs normally. I heard that Madam is paying close attention to her and forces the Prime Minister to rest every sunset."
“Some people say that the Prime Minister is being watched by people when he eats. How many chews does it take before he can swallow it..."
Unexpectedly, the dignified Prime Minister of Han Dynasty would be bullied to this extent. Feng Yong showed a strange smile:
“Isn’t that great?”
Li Yi gave Feng Yong a strange look as well:
“It’s good for the Prime Minister, but,” Li Canjun said squeakingly, “I’m just afraid that my brother will be affected.”
"It's not my business?"
Feng Yongyong didn’t understand why and asked strangely.
“My wife said that the Prime Minister’s current schedule is determined by my brother. I have heard the Prime Minister scold my brother several times, which is just a fake and a tiger’s power..."
"Oh, that's it..." Governor Feng said calmly, "The Prime Minister is right. There is a tiger girl in my house. Many times, I really have to rely on the younger brother."
Li Yi:…
Speaking of this, Governor Feng looked at Li Yi:
"Wenxuan, when you go back this time, help me bring a letter to the Prime Minister's wife. I would like to ask your wife if there are any other allusions to the idea of a fox pretending to be a tiger's power."
“Perhaps the tiger the Prime Minister is talking about is not my Xijun, but someone else. Are you right?”
Li Yi was stunned.
After a while, he stammered and said:
“Brother, you should be more careful at this time, right? Don’t make the Prime Minister angry anymore. Who doesn’t know the delicate situation in the DPRK and China now?”
"Coupled with my brother's current status, if someone secretly causes trouble..."
This time around, some people are happy and some are worried about the personnel changes in the imperial court.
If we say that Jiang Wan's identity as the governor of the palace, he was appointed as Shangshu Ling, which is the most eye-catching.
So Feng Yong, as the governor of Liangzhou, served as a member of the army in the Prime Minister's Office and a palace attendant, second only to Jiang Wan.
How could Feng Yong not know the meaning of Li Yi's words? His eyes froze slightly and he said, "Yang Yi?"
Li Yi hesitated for a moment and then said:
"My younger brother Guan Yang Yi seems to be a little dissatisfied with his elder brother. My younger brother has heard more than once that he complained to his elder brother in private."
Feng Yong smiled calmly:
“Although I have never had any serious dealings with Yang Yi, Liang Zi has already had one.”
Li Yi was shocked when he heard this:
“How come I’ve never heard my elder brother mention this?”
“But it was never made clear.”
Feng Yong smiled and shook his head, then slumped down, looked at the roof beams, and said slowly, "Seriously, the day I built Nanxiang Academy, I was destined to have a feud with him."
Yang Yi's main responsibility in the army is to "plan the divisions and raise grain and grain." In fact, it means formulating military rules, or arranging the camps of various military departments, raising grain and grass, etc.
Unfortunately, Nanxiang Academy was specialized in arithmetic, and the students who graduated from it had arithmetic abilities that surpassed most of the army's grain and grass officers.
“Dongfeng Express” allows the military to transport grain and grass without worries.
Over the years, Yang Yi's role in the military has become less and less.
But it was during the Battle of Longyou that Yang Yi really offended Feng Yong.
Feng Jishi was beaten with a military stick after Ma Dazui was beaten. He was charged with "relying on his military merits, disregarding military law, and abusing lynching."
This charge was Yang Yi's advice in front of the prime minister.
This was deceived by Feng Wenhe, a "smart talker", from Xiang Lang.
This festival is quite big.
To be honest, it was a great victory in the Northern Expedition, Feng Yong had made great achievements, and he was always highly valued by the prime minister.
If the Northern Expedition really failed, for this crime alone, Feng Yong would be demoted to a commoner even if he didn't have to move his head. That would be a high probability event.
Yang Yi’s evil heart is evident.
When Fei Yi was sent as an envoy to Soochow, Sun Quan once said, "Yang Yi and Wei Yan are both small herders." Does it mean that Zhuge Lao Yao doesn't understand who they are?
It's just that in the Shu Han Dynasty in the original history, the talents were reduced to zero, and the prime minister of the Han Dynasty took pity on his talents and used them.
As for now…
Feng Wenhe looked left and right, pressed his sword and asked: "Who else is there?"
Not to mention that after Feng Wenhe’s death, talents emerged.
Wei Yan is still brave and can be used in the army and in front of the battle.
As for Yang Yi, he can't even compare to Feng's two concubines.
When it comes to preparing money and food, Yang Yi is like a younger brother to Li Mu.
When it comes to arithmetic and formulating military standards, Yang Yi is not even a younger brother in front of Amei.
The bulk material measurement standards implemented by the Nanxiang Exchange and the standard weapon standards implemented by the Han army were all developed by Amei and his students.
So it is natural that this time the personnel transfer in the imperial court does not involve Yang Yi.
"It turns out that Yang Yi and his elder brother have such a feud, no wonder I asked my younger brother to pay more attention to this person."
Li Yi finally understood this time.
He said with a slight worry, "No matter what, this person is the Prime Minister's Director, brother, you should be more careful."
“He won’t be around for long.” Feng Yong said calmly, “Wenxuan, just pay more attention and don’t let him have the opportunity to do evil.”
With Zhuge Lao Yao’s current appearance, who knows how many years his body can last?
When Old Demon Zhuge is here, he can suppress all monsters and monsters.
When Old Demon Zhuge is no longer around, the Prime Minister’s Mansion will naturally be gone as well. What else can a former Chief of the Prime Minister’s Mansion do?
It would be nice to have a casual job to provide for retirement.
Li Yi nodded in agreement, and then suddenly said with some regret:
“It would be great if my brother could stay in Hanzhong more often.”
Feng Yong knew what he meant, shook his head and said with a smile:
“Forget it, the prime minister has already decided on Jiang Gongyan. Besides, I am still young and cannot convince the public, so there is no point in saying this.”
This sudden personnel change in the imperial court has caused many people to come to their senses.
No matter how many invisible political games there are, it is intriguing that the Prime Minister's Office transferred a small amount of power back to the Chancellor's Desk, and that some core Han officials entered the Secretariat.
So many people have more ideas.
As one of the representatives of the Xinghan Society, Li Yi certainly hoped that the leader of the Xinghan Society would occupy a more important position at the core of power.
Feng Yong obviously didn’t want to dwell too much on this topic. He changed the topic and said:
"It's almost February. I have something I want Wenxuan to tell the brothers in the club."
“Brother, please speak.”
“Does Wenxuan still remember the flower garland of Meng Huo’s daughter in Nanzhong?”
“Of course I remember it, little brother.”
As a descendant of the Li family in Nanzhong, how could Li Yi not know about Meng Huo's daughter?
“Last year, Huawan found something for me in the south and brought it to me in Liangzhou herself. Now she is still staying in Liangzhou and has not returned to Nanzhong.”
“Nanzhong has her cavalry. Ask the people over there to take care of it.”
Speaking of this, Governor Feng saw Li Yi’s strange expression and quickly explained:
“Her horse team has been helping me find things in the past few years, not just because they go to the south to do business..."
Li Yi coughed:
“Brother doesn’t need to explain, and little brother can save it. In fact, the brothers in the association have been taking care of me over the past few years at Nanzhong.”
“After all, none of the brothers in the guild know that Hua Niangzi went to ask for help from her brother, and then she built a horse farm in Yuexi…”
At that time, everyone was building breeding farms and making down jackets. I thought that this was the only one in the Han Dynasty.
Who knew that a more high-end goose down jacket would appear from behind.
A few years later, everyone started ranching in Yuexun, thinking it would be exclusive.
Unexpectedly, there would be a Huajia Ranch popping up later, but my brother personally pulled the strings and attracted some aristocratic families to invest money and food.
Ms. Zhang, who was making goose down jackets, followed her brother to Longyou.
The little lady Hua who runs the Hua Family Ranch has now gone to Liangzhou.
In the eyes of the Xinghan Hui brothers, this is a familiar routine...
The only thing that makes the brothers a little confused is that the tiger girl of the Guan family is so famous. How did the brother do it?
