Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 197 The Last Dream in Tokyo 19
Seeing that the situation was not good, Yajuan slipped out a long time ago, reckoning she was going to call someone, she had done this not once or twice, she was familiar with it.

Zhao Fujin's beautiful face turned red with anger, she had never been humiliated before, and tremblingly said: "What a shameless woman, hit me, slap her mouth."

Without saying a word, a guard strode over and slapped the palm like a cattail fan, five or six big slaps in a row, slapping the woman in a mess, covered her face and even forgot to cry, a pair of small eyes He stared blankly at Zhao Fujin.

"Let you continue to scold, if you continue to scold, you will tear that cheap mouth of yours." Zhao Fujin was extremely annoyed, and dropped the princess's reserve.

At this time, several officials from Kaifeng Mansion came in, and the first one was a young official with a gloomy face. He said sharply: "Kaifeng Mansion handles the case, everyone, get out of the way."

People dodged one after another, and the thin woman saw this man coming in, and hurriedly sat on the ground and cried, "Killed, killed."

The young official looked at Zhao Fujin, Wang Qingzhu and the others gloomily, and his eyes lit up immediately when he saw the four beauties with delicate looks.

On the second floor of the store, Zong Liang became more and more surprised the more he heard it, he didn't expect that the person who served the tea was Zhao Guan's family.

However, why did he feel that the official's expression was a little somber, he seemed a little tired, he said he didn't like to see him, it made his heart pounding, and he couldn't stand up.

Just as they were talking, Wang Xiu was thinking about one thing, whether to tell Zhao Ji, and what would Zhao Ji's reaction be.

Just last night, when he was reading in the study, Zong Liang came in and said, "Sir, Mr. Zhao is here to visit." As he spoke, he handed over a name card.

"Quickly please, Mr. Zhao, please go to the living room, I'll be there right away." Wang Xiu looked at the name post, but was quite surprised, what was Zhao Ding's visit at night for?

"Oh, brother Yuanzhen, it's rude, rude to keep brother Yuanzhen waiting for a long time." Wang Xiu walked into the living room quickly with a smile on her face.

Zhao Ding stood up in a little convulsion, and said, "I just arrived, and I hope you will forgive me for disturbing Wen Shi."

"Where is this? Brother Yuan Zhen, please sit down." Wang Xiu was astonished that Zhao Ding, who had always been steady and elegant, was so out of his mind. He still had a smile on his face, and said to Zong Liang next to the door: "Serve tea." He said to Zhao Ding, "I don't know why brother Yuan Zhen came to my humble house, what's your business?"

Seeing that Zhao Ding hesitated to speak, he felt very strange. This was not in line with Zhao Ding's nature, but he couldn't ask more questions. He just looked at Zhao Ding indifferently, waiting for the other party to tell the matter.

At this moment, Zong Liang brought tea, which relieved the dull atmosphere in the hall.

Wang Xiu was sure that Zhao Ding had something to come, and he might be begging him to do something, otherwise, with Zhao Ding's character, he would never hesitate.He didn't want this dull and embarrassing atmosphere to continue, and when Zong Liang quietly withdrew, he said straight to the point: "Brother Yuan Zhen has something embarrassing, you might as well say it, and see if I can do my best."

Zhao Ding took a sip of tea, put down his cup, looked at Wang Xiu hesitantly for a moment, and then sighed: "This is how I say it."

Wang Xiusa said with a smile: "You and my brother are not outsiders. If there is anything inconvenient to say, Brother Yuanzhen, it doesn't matter."

"Brother Yu is stupid by nature, and he doesn't want to see dirty things. That's why he offended many people and angered Zai Zhi, who was sent to Kaifeng Mansion. Since Brother Yu tied his hair, hey, what's the use of talking about it." Zhao Ding sighed silently, Said: "Wenshi is going back to his hometown, and all friends have their own ways to get rid of it. I heard that Zhizhi will go south with Zhongli Zhige, so I think about it."

Even though Zhao Ding didn't go on, Wang Xiu also understood the purpose, this is to go through his career to seek an official, he thought it was a little funny but also a little sad.In the history he knew, Zhao Ding was a proud and orthodox scholar-bureaucrat, but this embarrassing, hesitant person in front of him.

However, Wang Xiu deeply understands Zhao Ding's remarks. It is extremely rare for him to be able to maneuver among powerful officials like himself. The situation Zhao Ding is facing cannot be tolerated for a long time by any aspiring official. Seeing a way out of the predicament, of course I have the idea of ​​trying.

He knew that Zhao Ding needed a lot of courage to make such a decision and say what he usually disdained to say.

Seeing Wang Xiu's smiling face, Zhao Ding didn't think much of it at ordinary times. It was the first time in his life that he was seeking an official position, and he was very uneasy.Repeatedly said: "This, this, me too."

Seeing Zhao Ding embarrassed, Wang Xiu knew that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly said seriously: "I understand the purpose of Brother Yuanzhen's visit," and said with a smile: "It's just that Brother Yuanzhen didn't come, my younger brother originally planned to ask Brother Yuanzhen to go out to work. "

Zhao Ding was startled, as if he understood something, he looked at Wang Xiu in surprise.

"Brother Yuanzhen also knows that the office is controlled by Cai You, and Zhongli Zhige separated the maritime case from the bank in order to preserve some seeds of nourishment for the people. We must not let those incompetent people ruin everything. The support of wise men." When Wang Xiu said this, he looked at Zhao Ding deeply.

Hearing this, if Zhao Ding didn't understand, it would be useless. He swallowed deeply, and a burst of excitement rose in his heart.

"I am also very helpless. I have to hand over the office. Those dispatched in various places are all fat errands, but what Zhongli Zhige wants is a man of integrity." Wang Xiu is not just talking about it. Not only is there a lot of money to be made, but there is also a chance to be appreciated by the emperor. Those children from aristocratic families who don't squeeze their heads to get in through connections, the franchisees have already squeezed Cai You's threshold.

Wang Xiu paused, looked straight at Zhao Ding, and said sincerely: "My younger brother thinks that brother Yuanzhen is a great talent, he shouldn't be in the government office, and it is more than enough to enter the pavilion. I wanted to recommend brother Yuanzhen before I left, but I was afraid Brother Yuan Zhen doesn't want to be in the temple prison, it's just what people want!"

For a while, Zhao Ding didn't follow Wang Xiu's thinking, and was stunned on the spot, speechless for a while.

Wang Xiu looked at Zhao Ding with a smile, waiting for his answer.

Zhao Ding looked at Wang Xiu with complicated eyes, feeling grateful in his heart. When he was hesitating how to speak, Wang Xiu first said that he offered to recommend him, so that he would not lose face. Based on this alone, Da En could not Responded with thanks, sighed deeply, and said with some dejection: "Wen Shi really has a heart."

Wang Xiu was not at ease in his heart. He was really disappointed that a well-known figure in history who he was familiar with had actually fallen to such a state. He was not at all happy. Fate has changed, maybe Zhao Ding really wants to spend his life in obscurity in history.

"Brother Yuanzhen, my younger brother has an idea. Anyway, the government office doesn't need to enter. It's just a trick to bluff people. Those who can really make contributions are all in Jiangning. I will make a plan to vote in it tomorrow, and then I will give it to Zhongli Zhige." A letter, two-pronged effort to protect brother Yuan Zhen for the dispatch, still a bit wronged!"

Zhao Ding laughed rather self-deprecatingly, what else could he ask for at this time, originally he was expecting to serve as a deputy, but he did not expect to be a Zhengyin official along the way. , he sighed softly, shook his head and said, "How dare you be wronged!"

"Jiangsu-Zhejiang Road or Huainan East Road is no small matter. Mr. Zhongli will select a naval escort in the next step, and the imperial court will also organize an official fleet." Wang Xiu briefly said his plan, which was of course approved by Zhao Ji, and used water on a small scale. Army escort.

Zhao Ding was dumbfounded when he heard that, he had never thought of the government funding and jointly organizing overseas trade fleets with the private sector.His first thought was to 'strive for profit with the people', and this was not a policy related to the national economy and the people's livelihood such as salt and iron.Wouldn't it be humiliating for the government to intervene in it, not to mention the thousands of miles of sea, the future is unpredictable, who would want to leave their wives and children to cross the sea?

But there is one thing he is sure of. With the protection of the government's armed sea ships, the caravan is much safer at sea than usual.

".In time, our large Song sea fleet will rampage across the world, expand overseas bases, and bring endless wealth." Wang Xiu said that he didn't notice Zhao Ding's face because he felt a kind of excitement. In a trance, unknowingly uttered the ambition in his plan.

Zhao Ding didn't quite understand Wang Xiu's thoughts. He was a scholar-bureaucrat deeply educated in traditional Confucianism. He was unfamiliar with the sea and had no interest. He even had a little fear. Confucian good governance.

"Although gold, silver and jewelry are good, how can they be the same as rice and sangma?"

Wang Xiu was in high spirits, when he was poured a basin of cold water, his blood immediately cooled down. He looked at Zhao Ding strangely, as if he was a little disappointed and a little bit understanding.It can be said that among the scholars at that time, there was no real bosom friend for him, and no one could really understand his thoughts. Zhong Liqiu might understand him best, but he didn't really understand the essence, and silence was not enough. Zhao Ding's reaction seemed to be expected .

Although, they are also keen on running Wanbang, hoping that there will be a prosperous age of Wanbang.However, no one can truly understand what it means to truly operate overseas and the true meaning of the celebration of all nations.

"Do you want my younger brother to follow Wang Fu, Yang Jian and others and exploit ordinary people in Shengdou?" He was very disappointed, and found a very suitable cover for himself. He could only use this reason to prevaricate Zhao Ding. Ding agrees with the reason.

Zhao Ding was silent for a while. In his opinion, collecting money from overseas, although it made them uncomfortable for scholars who regarded themselves as a big country, it was still acceptable compared to exploiting the common people, so he smiled lightly and said: "What the text says makes sense"

"Rather than exploiting the people of the country, it is better to operate overseas." What Wang Xiu said about operating overseas is better to say it is an elegant word for foreign plunder. Zhao Ding did not hear Wang Xiu's unconcealable desire for expansion. His ideal is to be able to Recovered the thirteen prefectures of Jibei.

Therefore, he also supported the Northern Expedition. Once successful, the only thing left to do was to persuade the emperor to practice good governance and rest with the people.Wang Xiu's point of view is a bit unreasonable and unsatisfactory, but he doesn't take it seriously.

Wang Xiu's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "Brother Yuan Zhen, my younger brother recommends a scribe for you, what do you think?"
