A Clash of Gods Chapter 1337: Yuan Men
A very large mansion in Beijing is very quiet. There is a small vegetable plot in the corner of the backyard.
It was already May, and the weather was beginning to warm up. An old man with white hair was holding a water scoop, wearing a pair of worn shoes, and watering with interest in the vegetable field. This is him The preferences of half a lifetime, from selecting seeds to cultivating cabbage and radish, are his own hands, and his temper is very strange. Although the entire mansion is his, only this vegetable garden is the real forbidden land, without him. No one is allowed to come over.
Over the past few years, since the founding of the country, he has experienced several generations of emperors. From a small secretary, he eventually became the priesthood book of the Great Chu Empire. It was very difficult to walk along the way, but there was no ups and downs One suspects that he came to this day with his own character and strength.
As you get older, many things can’t help you.
Although the title of Lishu Shangshu is hung, in recent years, many things have only been ordered to the officials.
Since ancient times, heroes are like beautiful women, and no whiteheads are allowed.
Originally, he had already prepared to resign and resign, but when the emperor first experienced the Qinhuai War, Lao Shangshu was not good at resigning between the wars. He wanted to wait for the situation to stabilize after the war. The emperor resigned, who knew that the first emperor suddenly died, and the new king came to the throne.
Because the little emperor was a monarch at the beginning, Lao Shangshu was harder to leave, and could only continue to hold on.
The wedding of Little Emperor and Princess Dongqi was done by Lao Shangshu in person, which was very thoughtful. This also comforted Lao Shangshu. After the big marriage, Lao Shangshu had fewer things to manage, thinking of waiting a little bit For a while, really removed all the burdens from his hands.
There are not many veterans who have experienced three dynasties in the middle of the dynasty. Once the emperor and the princes, both public and private, Lao Shangshu felt that it was time to leave.
No matter how busy he is, he spends a little time every day working in the vegetable garden. Recently, there are few things, and he spends more time in this garden. It is already dusk, and he looks at the garden full of greenery. , Lao Shangshu was also in a good mood, put the water scoop in his hand into the bucket, leaned back on a bamboo chair beside the vegetable garden and sat down.
He raised his hand on his forehead and looked to the west. As the sun went down, everything seemed peaceful and quiet.
At this moment, he saw that two figures in the distance were approaching quickly. Lao Shangshu frowned, and when the two approached, Lao Shangshu's face was a little difficult to look.
Of course, he has clearly seen who he is, his son and grandson, but without his permission, even the closest person came over without permission, which made the old man very unhappy.
Although the Yuan family is not a big family in Beijing, they dare not underestimate the existence of this family. Someone once said that the Yuan family represents the heart of the world’s scholars. In a word, what the readers of the world want to say.
Qingliu scribes have always been in awe of Yuan Jia, and for this reason, the Yuan clan also holds an unusual position in the middle of the dynasty.
Lao Shangshu sits in the ritual department, and the eldest son Yuan Moxian is now also the bureaucratic prince. In fact, the first emperor was ready to promote Yuan Moxian as a servant, but he was firmly opposed by Lao Shangshu. It is not enough to take up the position of servant, because of this, the character of Lao Shangshu is praised by the scholars.
Although Chang Sun Yuan Rong has no official status, he has a wide range of friends, and he can be regarded as the number one figure in the capital of Shilin.
In fact, with Yuan Rong's talents and the background of the Yuan family, it is not difficult to get one official and half job, but this grandson Yuan has a very strange temperament and does not want to embark on a career. It’s strange that Lao Shangshu didn’t take it seriously. Sometimes Yuan Moxian was angry with Yuan Rong for this reason. Lao Shangshu came forward to maintain it. Yuan Moxian was in awe of Lao Shangshu. Since Yuan Rong had a laoshu book behind him, Yuan Moxian didn’t. No matter what, as long as Yuan Rong doesn't make too much of a thing, he will go with him.
Yuan Rong suddenly converged a few years ago, and the imperial court was about to set up a sea berth. Yuan Rong was very active in drawing a few families in the south of the Yangtze River, raising 500,000 two silver, and the emperor soon made a decision to formally establish Hai Po Si Yamen, appointed Yuan Rong as Hai Po Si Admiral, Hai Po Si is responsible for all matters of affairs, and Yuan Ronglai is in charge.
The court did not have much disagreement about this.
Since the founding of the country, I have never heard of any Hippos. For these new things, the group officials are whispering in their hearts, and no one knows what they can make, and the court set up this bureau, and don’t take one or two. Yuan Rong raises the silver money by Yuan Rong himself. In addition, Yuan family has a very good reputation. Now Grand Prince Yuan is also serving the court, and the officials will naturally not be embarrassed with Yuan family.
More importantly, the trade with overseas countries was almost always controlled by the East China Sea family. Although the tax is paid to the household every year, the tax paid is only one in ten. Pos directly controls the control of overseas trade in the hands of the court, and it can bring a large sum of money to the court every year. This is of course an undesirable thing.
So after the establishment of Hippos, the relevant government offices also actively cooperated.
Yuan Rong personally went to the East China Sea to make a merchant ship, but also established a trade transfer station. This is easy to say for Haibosi, but it really is a lot of things to do. Responsible for the supply of goods, but other things still require Yuan Rong to lead people step by step.
Because of his busy affairs, Lao Shangshu often fails to see his grandson for ten days and a half months. At this moment, Yuan Moxian and his son came and saw each other. Although he was a little unhappy without his permission, after all, the grandson came and his face softened.
Yuan Moxian's father and son came forward. Lao Shangshu inspected his words and saw that both of them looked a little ugly. He knew that there was trouble, but he was also calm.
"Father!"
Yuan Moxian bowed his hand, Yuan Rong also saluted the old book, and the etiquette was the most important. Even if there were no other people, the Yuan family would not lose the courtesy.
Lao Shangshu nodded slightly and looked at Yuan Rong before saying: "Has something happened to Hypos?"
Yuan Rong stepped forward and said: "Grandpa, not only something went wrong, but... it was still a big deal!"
"A big event?" Lao Shangshu raised his hand to caress and said: "When Haibosi was first established, I told you that I wouldn't do it. Since I did it, I always had a lot of trouble. Then Be aware of the difficulties and solve them one by one."
Yuan Rong smiled bitterly: "Grandpa, to say that it is completely a matter of Haibosi, it is actually not a matter of fact, but it is only somewhat involved with Haibosi." Yuan Moxian glanced at Yuan Moxian and said: " You tell your grandpa what you know, don’t hide it."
"Yes!" Yuan Rongwei groaned, and then said: "Grandpa, this court of Haibosi did not set aside money, you know this."
"Um." Lao Shangshu nodded slightly: "Don't you raise the silver two yourself? Is it enough silver?"
"It's not that the money is not enough." Yuan Rong approached Laoshangshu: "The money raised is naturally more than enough. Since the last year, the merchant ship was built. The Jiang family used to conduct overseas trade. There was already a fleet, and Governor Xin fell down. It’s not bad. Those merchant ships had already been assigned to the East China Sea Marine Division, but Governor Xin still transferred two ships from the inside to us, and the new ship was built according to the style of the previous merchant ship. In addition, the route and sailors After many things have been done, the first set of trade preparations will begin in August and September."
Lao Shang Shu Dao: "Since everything is ready, what's the problem?"
"Tianjia Pharmaceutical." Yuan Rong whispered: "Hu Guogong had explained that this Tianjia Pharmaceutical had a share in Haibosi. All kinds of medicinal materials should be walked from Tianjia Yao. Tianjia Medicine was originally ready. In the past two days, many medicinal materials should be shipped to the East China Sea. Before leaving, I was going to check the accounts with the Tianjia Pharmaceuticals. After all, she was a protector of the country, and it was a matter of the Tian family. I did it myself.....!" After a slight pause, he lowered his voice and said: "But I only learned that the owner of the Tianjia Pharmaceutical Company was actually put in prison!"
"Secretary in prison?" Lao Shangshu was also stunned: "What happened to that?"
"I heard that something happened to the Tai Hospital." Yuan Rong said: "The medicine of the Tai Hospital has been supplied by the Tianjia Pharmaceutical Company. If it is true, the matter is left to the Kyoto Prefecture for disposal. Early this morning, the Tiezheng of the Kyoto Prefecture sent someone to imprison Tian Dong's house to prison."
Lao Shangshu Fu Xu said: "The Tai Hospital is used for the diagnosis and treatment of the people in the palace. Those medicinal materials are also used by the nobles in the palace. The Tianjia Pharmaceutical Company took it as a fake, shouldn’t it be the case?"
Yuan Rongdao: "Grandpa, even the traffickers know that the Tai Hospital is looking for the nobles. Doesn’t the Tianjia Medicine Company know this? The Tai doctors in the Tai Hospital are not all Xinglin masters~IndoMTL.com~ But there will always be no problem in recognizing medicinal materials. Doesn’t the Tianjia Pharmaceutical Company send medicinal materials into the market in a false way?
"Father, Rong'er is not unreasonable." Yuan Moxian finally said: "This case is always a bit weird."
"Tian Dongjia has a connection with Haiboji. If something like this happened, I wanted to go to Kyoto to find Tiezheng and ask me to understand." Yuan Rongdao said: "However, the child is worried about acting pretendingly, and may be involved in something that should not be The matter involved, the Natian medicine company and the Jinyi Qi family have a very deep relationship, so the child thought about it. This matter first told the Jinyi Qi family to let the Jinyi Qi family appear to appear better."
Yuan Moxian nodded slightly and said, "You are not stupid about this matter, knowing that it is not easy to start."
"But before he arrived at the Huguo Mansion, the child was stopped at the street." Yuan Rong looked stern and whispered: "People in the criminal department ambushed around the Huguo Mansion, leading to the Huguo Mansion. Every street in the city is littered with people from the Penal Department. They asked the children where to go. When the children talked about the government, they let the children leave quickly."
Lao Shangshu's face tightened, frowning: "You mean... Huguo Gongfu is being stared by the criminal department?"
