Chapter 551: No questions asked about the T-shaped volume, professional terminology critical attack (fourth update!)
“Sir, you’re finally back.” Seeing Ruixiang jumping up and down, Feng Ziying’s face moved, “What’s wrong?”
Ruixiang rushed forward and said in a low voice: "My father-in-law is here in the palace. I have been waiting for a long time."
"Oh?" Feng Ziying didn't dare to neglect it. It had only been a few days, why couldn't Emperor Yonglong sit still again? "Is it Eunuch Zhou?"
“No, they are from Renshou Palace.” Ruixiang said anxiously.
Renshou Palace?
Feng Ziying was shocked.
Renshou Palace is the residence of the concubine. The Daming Palace, where the Supreme Emperor was raised, is adjacent to Renshou Palace. Sometimes the Supreme Emperor would rest in Renshou Palace.
But he has never had any contact with Renshou Palace, not even the Daming Palace on the Supreme Emperor's side. Why did Renshou Palace come to look for him?
Besides, it is not in line with the rules to summon foreign ministers in the palace.
Except for the emperor, even the Supreme Emperor rarely summoned foreign ministers.
Even in a sense, summoning foreign ministers by the Supreme Emperor would cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, since Emperor Yuanxi abdicated, he generally did not summon foreign ministers.
Even if they are summoned, they must be summoned at special times, such as at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, to show their favor.
Normally, when some foreign ministers heard that the Supreme Emperor was ill, they would take the initiative to visit him, usually with military honors and military generals. Basically, civil servants would not go in person, but would send gifts in the form of posts.
After hesitating for a moment, Feng Ziying's mind was rapidly thinking about how to deal with this matter.
Since they are here and waiting like this, they must have made up their mind to see me before leaving.
This is different from the chamberlains sent by Emperor Yonglong. Most of them left after passing on the message. Even when he was away, he just left a message.
Having been here for so long, everyone who needs to know knows it. It is neither necessary nor possible to hide it.
I am afraid that there is someone like Long Jinwei's spy in my house, and I am afraid that even the fact that I have combed Xiang Ling and Jin Chuan'er will be spread to some people's ears.
“Invite him to the outer study room.” After thinking about it, Feng Ziying nodded and said calmly.
There is no need to make a fuss if the troops come to block it and the water comes to cover it.
When embarking on an official career, and it is an official career in a feudal dynasty like this, it is natural to avoid factions, factions, intrigues and intrigues.
Feng Ziying has long been mentally prepared for this.
Feng Ziying met the chamberlain in the study outside.
There is something different from that chamberlain in Zhou Dynasty. This chamberlain's clothes are obviously much more high-profile and bright.
The indigo robe is trimmed with gold piping, the belt and high shoes with the unique palace forbidden pattern, and the Eguan that is filled with a depressing atmosphere are completely different from the Eunuch Zhou he saw in the east study.
“Feng Keng, editor of Hanlin Academy, met my father-in-law.” Feng Ziying bowed her hands in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, looking directly at the other person with clear eyes.
The person who came here should be in his thirties. Apart from the beard, he could not be seen as a chamberlain at all.
Her face was full of vigor, with thick eyebrows, a big nose and a wide mouth, and even her hands were thick-jointed. However, when she saw Feng Ziying, she still bowed and saluted in a formal manner, "See Mr. Xiuzhuan."
“You’re welcome, father-in-law, what’s your surname?”
“My surname is Dai.” The capable man smiled and said, “Perhaps Mr. Xiu Zhuan is a little surprised that our family is in your residence. Our family is also entrusted by others.”
"Oh?" Feng Ziying picked up the tea cup and took a sip. At this time, serving tea was certainly not a farewell, but a gesture of self-effacement and distance.
I thought Feng Ziying would be curious and ask who entrusted her to her, but she didn't expect that Feng Ziying seemed to know the inside story. She just said "oh" and kept silent, just enjoying the tea.
This made the strong man stunned.
“Eunuch, please taste some tea. This is the fragrant Taihu tea I brought back from Suzhou. It tastes amazing. You must try it.”
The capable man was a little embarrassed, but he still picked up the tea cup knowingly, took a sip, closed his eyes slightly, and then nodded: "It is really fragrant and mellow, and it deserves to be a famous Taihu tea."
Feng Ziying smiled leisurely but said nothing.
The capable man knew that if he didn't speak today, he would probably sit quietly with her all the time. He somewhat admired his forbearance and fortitude. Of course, he had some background if he dared to do this.
Putting down the tea cup, the chamberlain surnamed Dai cleared his throat and then said: "Master Xiu Zhuan, our family was entrusted by someone today to ask about the strategy of borrowing money to open the sea, the franchise and the bank matter. .”
As soon as the other party's words came out, Feng Ziying felt confident.
Although it is impossible to determine which group of people, or which group of people, took action, there is no doubt that the debt-raising and bank affairs have touched the interests of some people.
For a period of time, I have only received posts and seen no one except for certain people, which makes some people restless.
Civil officials can certainly learn about it through some channels, but after all, when it comes to specific strategies, they can neither ask too detailed questions nor understand the details.
Therefore, even though Feng Ziying often visited Wenyuan Pavilion and the Ministry of Household Affairs, Ministry of Industry and Ministry of War, ordinary people were not qualified to ask for an explanation from Feng Ziying. The ministers and ministers could only understand the general framework due to their status, which made many People are on pins and needles.
These people are certainly not ordinary businessmen, and it can even be said that they cannot be called businessmen. They are more of a mixture.
However, being able to mobilize this Eunuch Dai, and not worrying about his identity being known, shows that it is not just the merchants who are anxious, but also the people behind them.
Before going to Jiangnan, Feng Ziying had already done some research on the so-called Jiangnan, and even studied the contradictory combination of the gentry and merchants in Jiangnan.
On the surface, the gentry and merchants in the south of the Yangtze River were diametrically opposed to each other. The gentry took the land as their foundation, reading as their ethos, and making friends with the government as their style. They looked down upon merchants even more.
Merchants, on the other hand, are based on making a living and using capital as a link. They rely more on specific personnel in the government and some wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River as support.
But this was only the situation in the early days of the founding of the Zhou Dynasty. As the Tianping era passed, and after Emperor Yuanxi succeeded to the throne, especially after the 20th year of Yuanxi, the boundaries between gentry and merchants in Jiangnan rapidly blurred.
The gentry participated in business operations, especially the children of common people, who actively engaged in business. Merchants purchased land, and their children enrolled in top academies in Jiangnan, such as Baima and Chongwen Academy, and frequently obtained good rankings in scientific examinations.
This has greatly confused the boundaries between the two groups, presenting a situation where you are in me and I am in you.
"Oh, I didn't expect that Eunuch Dai would also be interested in such methods of running the world and benefiting the people." Feng Ziying didn't make any assumptions, "It's just that the franchise and the Yinzhuang matter are closely involved, and there are many details involved. The court also has various Consideration, and even specific judgments must be made based on specific regions, industry categories, etc., and a plan must be made on the qualifications, reputation, strength, etc. of those who want to participate, and it cannot be done by just one person or department. It’s hard to sum it up in a nutshell, so I would like to ask, what exactly do you want to ask, what do you want to do, and what do you want?”
The chamberlain named Dai frowned.
He knew that this person would definitely be difficult to deal with, but he thought that after all, he was just a sixteen-year-old young man. He came with the force of his own. Even if there were people behind him, it was impossible to ignore the people behind him, and he would not I believe the other party will not know what Renshou Palace represents.
But I didn't expect that this guy was like an old official who had been in the officialdom for decades. He spoke out a series of official technical terms, which made it impossible for me who didn't know the inside story to ask any questions. I don't even know how to deal with the opponent's question of attacking instead of defending.
How do I know exactly what to ask, what to do, what to ask for?
The chamberlain surnamed Dai secretly hated him, but he also knew that the other party was not easy to handle.
The three questions people asked are correct. This mouth has such big questions. How can I answer you?
"Haha, Mr. Xiuzhan has failed our test." The chamberlain surnamed Dai smiled calmly, "We have already told you that we are here to ask questions for others. How do we understand the joints? Why don't you, Master Xianzhuan, do it for me? Is it possible to explain and explain?”
"Of course, in terms of concessions, the imperial court is preparing to convert maritime trade affairs into fair trade, compared with the original privately operated trade in coastal areas. However, in view of the change in imperial policy, it may bring chaos to trade in coastal areas, which will To avoid this kind of confusion, it is natural to adjust measures to local conditions according to the region, such as Nanzhi, Shandong, Liaodong, and even Zhejiang and Fujian, etc., according to the scale of the output of goods produced in each region, as well as the port throughput capacity. Of course, the more important thing is to The experience, scale of strength, and external channels in this industry are combined with many factors, including its local business reputation. The local government will first make a basic prediction, and then..."
"In addition, those engaged in the licensed industry also need to be classified in detail, with a long-term perspective, those that are beneficial to the court, can help the court develop routes and channels, and can even help the Department of Public Security and the Ministry of War to provide support in intelligence collection. There are also some Preferential support,…”
Before he heard anything substantial, the chamberlain named Dai was already confused by the deception.
This is so eloquent, but what they said seemed to be very professional and clear. After listening carefully, it seemed that it was really the case.
This does require classified guidance, allocation according to needs, adaptability to local conditions, flexible adjustment, based on reality, long-term perspective,...
Ma Dan, this is too high-spirited. I seem to understand the meaning of every word, but why is it mixed with these words that I don't quite understand what it means?
When the chamberlain named Dai left, his eyes were a little blurry, and he was mumbling something. He probably had too much information fed into him, and he was afraid that he would not be able to remember it. When he went out, he almost tripped over the threshold and somersaulted.
