In the sixth year of Jingzheng, October 25.
This year's snow came exceptionally early and unusually large, not only in the northern generation where the capital is located, but also in the south of Zhili, where it rarely snowed, and a thick layer of snow accumulated on the ground.
But these could not stop the enthusiasm of Sun Chuanting and others, Sun Chuanting, Jingwang Zhang Bingwen and others, accompanied by Chen Qiyu, the governor of Jiangsu, and other important officials, were visiting the Royal Expo.
Chen Qiyu followed Sun Chuanting's side and enthusiastically introduced: "Ge Lao, there are three major exhibition halls here, forty-eight small halls, starting from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, antique calligraphy and paintings, rare ancient books, rare treasures, etc., sorted in turn, all over the entire collection......"
Sun Chuanting and a group of more than 30 people were standing in front of a huge glass window, looking at a strange-shaped iron object, shuttling one by one, and there were iron beads faintly rolling on it.
Chen Qiyu saw the stitches and said: "Ge Lao, this is a geodynamic instrument, it was cast in the Han Dynasty, with a history of thousands of years, it can predict earthquakes, five or six times out of ten are accurate, the Royal Political Yuan, the doctors of the Ministry of Industry, craftsmen often come to watch, I heard that it is quite exquisite, the mechanism is complex, they will not be able to study it thoroughly for a while......
Sun Chuanting put his hands behind his back, stretched out his head to look, turned his head to look at Chen Qiyu, and said with a smile: "Outside it is said that it is a miracle skill, not the right way, what do you think?"
” Chen Qiyu and the others were stunned, but they reacted quickly, and Chen Qiyu continued: "Xia Guan believes that the right way for officials is the well-being of the people, not studying. ” An official behind him immediately raised his hand and said, "Pavilion Elder, the lower officials think that what the emperor said is right, and studying is to be an official, which is a fallacy."
If studying is to be an official, doesn't it mean that being an official is the right way?
If you are an official, what sage books do you read?
” Sun Chuanting glanced at this person in surprise and said, "I remember you, your name is Qin Zhengyi?"
” This is Qin Zhengyi, who was transferred to Jiangsu Senate by the Hangzhou prefect, and a member of the third term of the Royal Political Yuan.
Qin Zhengyi raised his hand and said, "Xia Guan is exactly." ” Sun Chuanting looked around, looked at Qin Zhengyi again, and said, "Go on." ” Qin Zhengyi looked indignant and said: "Pavilion Elder, the 'Bushi Alliance' on the Qinhuai River is getting bigger and bigger, singing and dancing like háo all day long, drunk and dreaming of death, drowsy, I don't know what year it is!"
If reading is the right way, they just read, why are they now silent in the wine pond and meat forest?
The lower officials believe that the imperial court should be severely punished and show future generations with jǐng!
” Sun Chuanting looked displeased and said: "What you said was the fallacy of 'studying to be an official', why are you talking so much!"
"The old peasant lady Qin Zhengyi's face was straight, he still raised his hand, and said: "Other adults and officials are big, and they don't dare to say anything if they have many scruples, and they are not afraid of others, so it's a big deal to go home to study and farm, and ask the elder to take it!"
” Sun Chuanting was blocked by him, turned his head to look at King Jing and Zhang Bingwen beside him, and said, "This is deliberately to sweep my face?"
” King Jing clearly saw a smile in Sun Chuanting's eyes, glanced at Qin Zhengyi, and said, "I'm telling the truth, it's okay, we're thick-skinned and can stand it." ” Sun Chuanting couldn't help laughing, shook his head, turned to Qin Zhengyi and said: "Don't treat us all blind, it's just that we can't spare our hands, besides, if those who everyone opposes the 'New Deal' can get drunk and die on the Qinhuai River, I am willing to give piáo money." ” Sun Chuanting said it lightly, but the topic is really embarrassing and should not be delved into.
Seeing this, Zhang Bingwen said roundly: "The root of this matter is that the imperial court does not uphold discipline, we are responsible, and yours can't run." ” Qin Zhengyi's eyelids moved, he woke up, raised his hand and said, "The lower official is stupid, and I ask the elder to punish him." ” Chen Qiyu heard it, and hurriedly said: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's see the exhibition today, will we talk about it later?"
” Sun Chuanting said 'um' and said, "Let's go." ” Chen Qiyu led the way and quickly explained: "The exhibition hall is for everyone, whether it is a dignitary or an ordinary person, even a foreigner.
The exhibits include tens of thousands of ancient and modern exchanges between China and foreign countries.
Hundreds of people come every day, and more come from all over the world, and the exhibition hall has asked the emperor to prepare to open branches in various places......"
Sun Chuanting walked and watched, nodding from time to time, many things, even he was eye-opening.
This look is a day, Sun Chuanting and others are very satisfied, before leaving, and Chen Qiyu said, "The dowry over there is very rich, in addition to real money, grain, there are many antiquities, when the time comes, I will ask the emperor to allocate it to you, and all the people of the Ming Dynasty will take a look." ” It's another way to record the feats of the swing, direct, violent!
Chen Qiyu raised his hand and hurriedly said, "Elder Xie Ge."
By the way, this plaque was mentioned by the emperor himself, and there is a lack of a preface, I wonder if the elder can work hard?
” Sun Chuanting glanced at him with a blank look and said, "Besides, I've been very busy lately, and I have to go to the trade conference tomorrow to see a lot of people."
"[Mainnet King] warm sister Chen Qiyu said: "By the way, Xia Guan remembered that there were many envoys, officials, and many merchants from Europe, who were received by the Foreign Affairs Bureau, all hoping to meet the elder." ” Sun Chuanting said: "Well, Gong Yonggu has already said that he will arrange it tomorrow and meet him, I heard that the list is very big?"
” Chen Qiyu said, "Wei Liangqing revealed to me that the order amount for tea, porcelain, silk, cloth, glass, etc. is as high as five million taels of silver, and other spices, firearms, ships, armor, etc., may exceed ten million taels of silver......
Sun Chuanting raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this a three-day or a year?"
” Chen Qiyu pondered for a moment and said, "Strictly speaking, it can only be today's order, because the business of spices is very large, and it is more than 10 million silver every year......
Sun Chuanting didn't know much about the accounts of the Shenlong Mansion, and the details were probably only known to the Qianqing Palace.
Sun Chuanting thought for a moment and said, "I heard that the Divine Dragon Mansion plans to establish such places in multiple places?
” Chen Qiyu said: "It has already started, and at present, Guangzhou, Tianjinwei, and Shenlong in Ānnán are advancing the fastest, and it is estimated that it will start next year." ” Sun Chuanting thought for a while, and said, "You Nanzhili must do a good job of cooperating, you can't drag your feet, make stumbling blocks openly and secretly, and resolutely suppress those objections!"
The imperial court will also issue a series of decrees to promote the development of the Shenlong Mansion, you must know in your hearts. ” Chen Qiyu thought that this was Sun Chuanting's beating of him, and hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, the lower officials know what to do." ” Sun Chuanting took a sip of tea and said, "Tomorrow I will see the Ottoman envoy, the Suez Canal must be opened, and it must be in the hands of my Ming Dynasty!"
” Chen Qiyu looked at Sun Chuanting and said, "That envoy seems to have been wanting to buy my Daming's ships and artillery, and the Shuaifu is deliberately jamming the ships, and the artillery is not given." ” This Sun Chuanting naturally knew that it was nothing more than a means of negotiation, and said: "Let Gong Yuma accompany you tomorrow, it will be the best to negotiate, and if you can't negotiate, forget it." ” Chen Qiyu heard this strangely, and immediately understood, and said, "Xiaguan will let people pass it on." ” Sun Chuanting leaned back in his chair, looked at Chen Qiyu, and said lightly: "I'll give you three days, and after three days, explain to me and the cabinet the progress of Nanzhili's series of 'new policies' on acres of land and households in Nanzhili, is it enough?"
