Chapter 48: The Wisdom of the People


The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, only the voices of passers-by were left around, Zhang Hong's face was a little hot, and he glanced at the Chengming Palace, which was truly resplendent and splendid, in addition to being embarrassed, he was more shocked.

All along, no matter where it is, the glass is regarded as a rare treasure, what does the glass represent if it can be mass-produced at a low price, even if he disdains business, but he can also think of the huge wealth behind it, and sell this thing to the vassal states, the Western Regions, how much benefit it can bring to the imperial court, that is really "Dezu told him this, you can know how much loss it will bring to the imperial court" After being shocked, Zhang Hong quickly came to his senses, glanced at Yang Xiu, and shook his head.

He really regarded Yang Xiu as a nephew, but in order to avoid possible losses in the future, he would inform Sun Ce.

"Uncle, don't worry."

Yang Xiu naturally understood what Zhang Hong said, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty never thought of selling this thing to any state and county in Dahan. ” "What to understand" Zhang Hong wondered, the profit in it, even if it is a person like him, he can't help but be moved, Liu Xie uses such a treasure, but he doesn't know how to operate, even if he doesn't understand, is this Manchu Dynasty civil and military blind can't be "The little nephew also asked Your Majesty."

Yang Xiu smiled: "Uncle knows what His Majesty said" "I want to hear about it."

Zhang Hong looked at Yang Xiu.

"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, the coast of the land, the wealth of the princes, the wealth of the people of the world, what is the use of earning more" Yang Xiu said with a smile.

Pedantic words Zhang Hong shook his head and sighed secretly, although his words are correct, but at present, there are disputes in the world, and the wealth of the world is nominally Liu Xie's, but in fact, there is geometry for those who can use it "Now that the imperial court has controlled the throat of the Western Regions, this thing has begun to be exported to the countries of the Western Regions, which can not only weaken the national strength of the countries of the Western Regions, but also use the financial resources of the countries to feed my Han."

Yang Xiu said with some admiration: "Not only that, but Your Majesty has exchanged a large amount of refined iron, grain and grass and even population in the Western Regions with coarse salt and obsolete iron tools, and in less than ten years, even if my Han does not attack the Western Regions, the countries of the Western Regions will no longer have the strength to resist my Han." ” It was only at this time that Zhang Hong's face showed a look of shock, so after calculation, it was not that Liu Xie was pedantic, but that Liu Xie's vision was more long-term than the current princes, just when the princes were still busy intriguing and fighting for territory, when today's son has already set his sights on the outside world.

If the war between the princes is all internal friction, the act of the Son of Heaven is to truly strengthen the national strength of the Han Dynasty, thinking about what Yang Xiu said before, which he regarded as pedantic words, Zhang Hong couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart, if today's son can be born ten years early, why would the world be like this With a somewhat complicated mood, Zhang Hong, accompanied by Yang Xiu, came all the way to the Yang Mansion, as the prince of the dynasty, although the power is gradually weakened, but Liu Xie is really good to these old ministers, glass windows, glass utensils can be seen everywhere on Yang Biao's mansion.

"Wen Xiangong has won the favor of His Majesty, and he is really envious of others."

Sitting in the main hall of the bright hall, Zhang Hong took a sip of the tea cup offered by Yang Xiu, and said to Yang Biao with a smile.

Yang Biao is ten years older than him, and his reputation in Shilin and officialdom is much higher than that of Zhang Hong.

"This tea is a royal gift in the palace, if Zigang likes it, I can ask His Majesty for some on your behalf."

When Yang Biao heard this, he couldn't help but sigh a little, aside from the struggle for power, Liu Xie still took good care of their old ministers, not only him, even if it was Huangfu Song who was far away in the Hetao, if there was anything new in the palace, Liu Xie would send a copy, in this regard, this majesty really has nothing to find fault with.

"I have heard for a long time that the heroes of Chang'an are the best in the world, and I don't want this tasteless tea soup to be able to make such a flavor."

Zhang Hong took another sip of tea, shook his head and sighed: "It's just that Your Majesty pays too much attention to these left-handed things, which is not beneficial to the country." ” "Zigang's words are wrong."

Shaking his head, Yang Biao immediately smiled bitterly: "If it was a year ago, the old man and Zigang thought similarly. ” "Oh" Zhang Hong couldn't help but look at Yang Biao in surprise when he heard this.

"Although Your Majesty attaches great importance to this craftsman, it is only encouragement, not deepening, and more is still focused on state affairs, but this is the case, Zigang can know that now this Guanzhong, Xiliang and even Sili and Hetao, with a population of three million, has received more than twice as much as previous years this year."

Yang Biao said, and couldn't help but sigh, if it weren't for the recent grain harvested by the Yang family, which really proved this, even he couldn't believe it.

"This is true," Zhang Hong's eyes widened.

"But not only that, now Guanzhong is prosperous, it can be said that it is dragging the blessing of this industry, a thing, for the country, as His Majesty said, it is not worse than agriculture, the two complement each other, is the real strength of the country and the people."

Yang Biao sighed and said, Liu Xie doesn't need to say much about this matter at all, and now the changes in Chang'an City have accumulated bit by bit, and the facts are enough to prove everything.

Zhang Hong's eyes narrowed slightly, this is a good thing, but also a bad thing, although Zhang Hong has been living a hermit life, but he is also a member of the family, the industry is prosperous, the people's livelihood is constantly improving, although it will strengthen the people's support for the Son of Heaven, but the scholars in this, what is the use of the relationship may be the bystander Qing, Zhang Hong can think that the family is gradually becoming distant for the people, with the continuous rise of people's livelihood, the family becomes no longer important. opened his mouth, but when it came to his mouth, he finally swallowed it back, some words, everyone knows, but if you say it, it will be a little damning.

Although no one has said it clearly, but I don't know when it started, the superior has been doing this, such as today's practice, there have been signs of opening the wisdom of the people, no longer to tell the people how to do, but to tell the people to think for themselves, which represents the unknown whether it is for the family or the imperial power.

Son of God, this is playing with fire Zhang Hong sighed in his heart, looked at Yang Biao, hesitated for a moment, but did not say much, he believed that with Yang Biao's talent, it was impossible not to see this, the previous embarrassment, he didn't want to appear again, if Yang Biao had a plan in his heart, he said it like this, but it would make people laugh.

At that moment, Zhang Hong pulled away the topic and discussed some academic knowledge with Yang Biao, until more than an hour later, Zhang Hong looked at the sky, and then smiled at Yang Biao: "Taifu, this time Hong, what he did was for my lord Sun Ce, seeking a position, hoping that the court could allow him to inherit his father's business, I don't know."

"In this matter, I have asked Dezu to probe His Majesty's mouth, the son inherits his father's business, which should be, but the old man thinks that Sun Lang should also show some sincerity to His Majesty."

Yang Biao touched his beard and smiled.

"I don't know what the Taifu said is sincere" Zhang Hong's heart sank, looking at Yang Biao, with his understanding of Yang Biao, it is naturally impossible to ask for a bribe at this moment, if it is not for a bribe, the sincerity in these words is worth pondering.

"Back then, Sun Wentai bravely broke Luoyang, and he was indeed a loyal minister, but since then, many rumors have said that Sun Wentai won the jade seal of the country at that time, but he did not return it to the imperial court."

Yang Biao looked at Zhang Hong, shook his head and said: "At the beginning, Sun Wentai refused to hand over the cholera dynasty of Li Guo's two thieves, which is understandable, but if today's son has been in charge of the government for two years, the jade seal of the country is the bane for the Sun family, but for Your Majesty, it is an artifact of a country, and Zigang should know the significance of this jade seal to Your Majesty." ” Zhang Hong's heart was cold, but his face was blank and said: "Why did Wen Xiangong say this, this is the important weapon of the country, the Sun family is a loyal martyr, how can he do such a cholera dynasty?"

The jade seal of the country is in the hands of Sun Ce, Zhang Hong knows this, but at the beginning, Sun Ce had already exchanged the jade seal for Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses in order to borrow troops from Yuan Shu to recruit Yangzhou, even if Sun Ce wanted to show his loyalty with the jade seal now, it was impossible to take out another jade seal to the imperial court.

If he admits it at this moment, it will be tantamount to confirming Sun Jian's crime of greedy ink jade seal, so at this moment, no matter what, he must not admit it.

When Yang Biao heard this, he nodded noncommittally: "Maybe, it's just this matter, Your Majesty has already determined that the Sun family has obtained the jade seal, and tomorrow above the court, Zigang can think about it and go back, although today's son is young, he is not ignorant, and it is not easy to hide from the Son of Heaven." ” "Wen Xiangong rest assured, what Hong said is true, and there is no half-truth."

Zhang Hongyi said righteously.

"Don't talk about that."

Yang Biao nodded, and did not dwell on this topic anymore, whether the Sun family was greedy for the jade seal or not had little to do with him, but he and Zhang Hong were old friends, but he didn't want Zhang Hong to be involved in the whirlpool of the Sun family because of this, but Zhang Hong said so, he didn't care about it anymore, and pulled the topic away at the moment.

"Don't go to the post house, I have sent someone to help Zigang to report, tomorrow morning, Your Majesty will summon you."

Yang Biao said with a smile: "In Chang'an, I have stayed in my house these days. ” "How does this make it," Zhang Hong hurriedly waved his hand and excused himself.

"How can I not do it" Yang Biao looked at Zhang Hong and said: "You and I are old friends, if people know that I have turned away my friends, wouldn't it make Shilin laugh at my Zigang but trap me in injustice." ” "Don't dare."

Having said this, Zhang Hong could only smile bitterly: "In this way, I will disturb Wen Xiangong." ” "It just so happens that Your Majesty sent a batch of grape wine from the Western Regions yesterday, and the old man has not drunk it, but since an old friend has come today, it is time to have a drink, Dezu, go and prepare the glass cup sent by His Majesty."

On the side, Yang Xiu smiled and bowed away.

"In this case, Hong will sort it out first."

Zhang Hong got up and said.

"It's fine."

Yang Biao nodded and asked Zhang Hong to go to the wing room to rest.

It wasn't until he left the main hall that Zhang Hong breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, but smiled bitterly in his heart, it seems that tomorrow's court meeting is not as easy as he imagined. t1706231537:
