Chapter 1668 The Renzi Juan is beautiful (1)
"His Royal Highness King Lu is too polite. I am only a few years older than Chi. How can I be worthy of the title of "Qingyi"?" Feng Ziying smiled and waved her hands, "They are just young students. There is no predecessor in learning. Those who are masters are teachers. If we learn from each other, Communicate, and the lower official will naturally be happy to see the results."
Zhang So was also particularly happy and satisfied with Feng Ziying's modesty. From another perspective, could this prove that the conversation between his father and Feng Ziying had implicitly revealed his good opinion of himself?
Otherwise, with Feng Ziying's current status and reputation, there is no need to be so polite to him. He also doesn't believe that Feng Ziying, his elder brothers, can be so humble and polite. Of course, there may be some reasons for being born in Qingtan, but Zhang So I don’t think it should be the main factor.
"Master Feng said this, Xiao Wang was ashamed and speechless." Zhang Su also showed more humility and full etiquette, "In terms of current policy, Master Feng is the founder of our Qingtan Academy, and Master Feng Proposing the strategy of opening up the sea would be of great benefit to the court. He also proposed the idea of establishing a country through agriculture and strengthening the country through industry and commerce. Many senior fellow students in the academy were extremely interested, and Xiao Wang was no exception. He wanted to invite Lord Feng to come to the academy to teach everyone. a lesson,…"
Feng Ziying didn’t expect that her opinion would spread to Qingtan Academy, but it was normal to think about it.
He not only mentioned this point of view to Qi Yongtai, but also to Guan Yingzhen. He believed that this point of view was appropriate for the current Zhou Dynasty. Food was still the most important material in this agricultural country, and he did not dare to slack off for a moment. , when agricultural technology has not made breakthrough progress to meet the needs of the entire Zhou Dynasty, when the accumulation of industrial technology has not reached a sufficient level, and under the premise that social demand has not increased, rashly Proposing to use the industrial revolution to drive social change is undoubtedly counterproductive.
Feng Ziying was not an economic expert in her previous life. She only served as an official for a few more years. But that was just because she was living in that era. She subconsciously or habitually participated in the tide of economic development. But back to this era, He really didn't dare to say whether everything was ready to promote the industrial revolution at this time and only needed the east wind.
So Feng Ziying is also extremely cautious on this point.
Although they have gone all out to promote cooperation with merchants from Shanxi and Shaanxi, they have promoted their transformation from merchants to industrialists such as factory owners, and encouraged merchants from the north and south to invest as much capital as possible in the field of trade circulation into shipbuilding, ports, terminals, transportation fleets, etc. field to promote the accumulation and growth of the entire industrial and commercial industry to achieve his future goals, but he still has no idea.
He doesn’t know how long this state of development will need to continue before it can reach the ideal state of the outbreak of the Industrial Revolution. Or will it ultimately be achieved under his own guidance or even through the use of the imperial court’s policy push?
However, the fact that Prince Lu was so interested made Feng Ziying feel a little moved. Could it be that His Highness is also interested in industry and commerce?
“His Royal Highness King Lu also thinks that Xiaguan’s point of view is feasible?” Feng Ziying asked with a smile.
Even if this point of view is discussed on a small scale, it has caused a lot of controversy. Both Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen have no doubts about establishing a country through agriculture. Everyone agrees, but when it comes to building a strong industrial and commercial country, they seem to be a little out of touch. Off.
Feng Ziying also specifically explained the term industry in "Internal Reference". In addition to covering ordinary handicraft manufacturing, Feng Ziying also specifically introduced the mining industry, iron smelting industry, ironmaking industry (including military industry), shipbuilding industry, The salt production industry, building materials industry, cotton cloth and silk industry and other industries are currently very important to Dazhou.
The introduction of Feng Ziying's article in "Internal Reference" also aroused controversy among many scholars and civil servants in the DPRK. However, most people still opposed the idea of becoming a powerful country through industry and commerce. In their view, only the cotton cloth industry could be called one. of the national economy and people's livelihood, but compared with agriculture, it is far behind.
But this view still caused a great shock in Jiangnan. The industrial and commercial power undoubtedly spoke to their hearts, especially after the food cultivation in Jiangnan gradually degenerated and was transferred to Huguang, Jiangyou, and Sichuan, with cotton, silk, Porcelain making, shipbuilding and other industries have increasingly become the most important core industries in Jiangnan. If the importance of industry can be further determined, it will undoubtedly significantly improve the status of the Jiangnan gentry. However, it was Feng Ziying who proposed this, which made They are conflicted.
Feng Ziying wanted to see what King Lu's views were.
As expected, Zhang So was also a little hesitant. After thinking for a while, he said: "Master Feng, Xiao Wang, in the past, agriculture was still the foundation. Food was related to people's life and death, so we must not ignore it. This is skin, and industry and commerce are hair. Okay. Some differences will definitely have an impact, but it will not shake the foundation. If the skin is not there, how will the hair be attached?"
Feng Ziying was greatly disappointed by talking about it in such general terms, but when she thought about it, she didn't even come up with a reasonable and systematic strategy, let alone a young boy. Having such knowledge is not satisfactory.
However, I was quite happy to hear that a fourteen-year-old young man understood the secret of it. He felt that he could agree with the opinions of the princes in the court, which also meant that his philosophy of governing the country might be in tune with the important ministers.
This conversation with King Lu made Feng Ziying quite impatient. At this time, he had no idea to deal with such a formality, but he had to socialize with him in terms of etiquette. It was not easy to send him away. Feng Ziying Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Having done everything he could, Feng Ziying didn’t know what else she could do.
He simply wrapped his head in a quilt and fell asleep, with a tall man still holding him up when the sky collapsed. Even if Prince Yitada wanted to use the south to defeat the north in the "Jingnan War" of the Ming Dynasty, it would have to be left to him. The situation for myself and my father is just a little more difficult, but it's not like we can't survive.
Feng Ziying was still sleeping with her head covered when she brought Qin. After waiting in the side room for a long time, Feng Ziying came to see her after washing up.
Feng Ziying admires this spiritual and intelligent girl next to Yuan Chun. In his opinion, at least this girl is more rational than Yuan Chun, and unlike Yuan Chun, she is easily blinded by family interests.
“I’ve met Mr. Feng.” He hugged Qin Fu Yifu and glanced at the “Jia family supporter” who seemed to be in a bad mood.
It was said that Feng Ziying was the "backer of the Jia family". Baoqin felt a little embarrassed when it came from the empress's mouth. However, after listening to the empress' explanation, Baoqin had to admit that what the empress said was very reasonable. If Feng Ziying hadn't been there all the time, To help the Jia family, I'm afraid the current situation of the Jia family is going to be really bad.
Even Feng Ziying’s marriage to Xue Baochai and her engagement to Lin Daiyu were indirect favors to the Jia family, allowing the outside world to see how close the in-law family relationship between the Feng family and the Jia family was.
As for the fact that the Jia family often invites Feng Ziying to visit the house, that is also intentional, in order to make the outside world think that the Feng family and the Jia family are firmly bound. Otherwise, how could women like Su Lingyao, Mei Yuexi, and Guo Qinjun do anything to them? His attitude has also changed greatly? Isn't it because of the potential influence of the Feng family and his sons both inside and outside the government and in the military?
“How are you, big girl?” Feng Ziying said casually.
"Fortunately, I knew that the Lord was coming to visit the palace, so I specially asked my servant to greet the Lord." Baoqin said cautiously.
"The eldest lady has also come to the palace?" Feng Ziying didn't seem too concerned, "It seems that the emperor's harem is full of people this time, but the selection of the heir apparent has nothing to do with the eldest lady, even if it is Concubine Lu and The eldest girl is very close, so the eldest girl won’t come to the palace to help with the martial arts, right?”
Hearing the displeasure and sarcasm in Feng Ziying's words, Baoqin did not dare to say anything. He could only say: "Sir, Concubine Lu invited you, and the other concubines have followed the emperor. How can you not come?" ?As for the effectiveness of assisting the fist, the empress is just helping me out of love, but actually has no other meaning."
"What's the point?" Feng Ziying couldn't help but sneered: "The eldest lady is just opening her eyes for Concubine Lu. How can outsiders not understand? I told her a long time ago not to get too close and be friendly. Yes, after all, I also understand the difficulty of the eldest girl in the palace, but if you get too close, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing. Now the momentum of King Fu and Li Wang is not good, the eldest girl should know it, right? Do you still plan to remember the old friendship and can't bear to leave? ? Or maybe you think that if you burn the cold stove at this time, you can benefit a lot in the future? "
Bao Qin was a little embarrassed. Faced with this man criticizing her mother-in-law so strongly, she did not dare to refute. She could only explain tactfully: "Master Feng, please understand the current situation of my mother-in-law and the Jia family. The second master is here." The academic affairs in Jiangxi are not going well. The Chief Envoy and the Provincial Envoy are ostracizing the second master. The second master is very depressed and has sent a letter to his wife saying that he wants to resign..."
"Oh?" Feng Ziying was quite surprised. Jia Zheng was doing so poorly, or was it because Jia Yuanchun's face was not respected by anyone in Jiangxi?
"Now the situation in Rongguo Mansion is also clear to you. Second Master Bao is now clinging to the Niu family and the eldest princess Yongning. This time, the second master Bao is following the eldest princess Yongning to make friends with Concubine Qi and Prince Lu. I hope that in the future Second Master Bao can gain something. Princess Yongning hopes that Second Master Bao may be able to go to places like Zongren Mansion and Honglu Temple in the future..." Baoqin also made it clear this time, confessing Yuanchun's thoughts: "The empress here and Although Concubine Lu is still close, Concubine Qi and Concubine Xi have also expressed goodwill to the empress. This should also be the credit of your Excellency. The empress also hopes to take this opportunity to further develop..."
“You can do both right and left with ease?” Feng Ziying laughed. This was a good idea for Bao Qin and Yuan Chun.
As the New Year is approaching, Lao Rui wishes all brothers and sisters good luck in the Year of the Tiger, prosperity in the Year of the Tiger, and all the best!
