    Lotus Garden, side hall.

    Fang Shuhe, Chu Dongming, Liang Zhengping, Shi Gongshou, Sun Boqi, Liu Yancai, Ouyang Demou and Zhen Yingjia sat on two rows of nanmu chairs in the side hall with uneasy expressions.

    The ground was covered with a thick velvet blanket, and the incense cage was spraying with refreshing agarwood.

    On the table are placed delicious snacks that are rarely seen in ordinary wealthy households. Next to the exquisite luminous cups is a gorgeous wine bottle made of Western glass, filled with red and beautiful wine.

    This should have been a very pleasant afternoon, but no one is taking advantage of it at this moment.

    Their eyes all fell on Jia Cong next to Song Yan.

    Watching Jia Cong carefully cover Song Yan's knees with a soft blanket, and then mix the ginseng tea to a suitable temperature and put it next to Song Yan's hand. No matter how annoyed they were before, at this moment, they still sighed in their hearts: This is a talented person.  A filial child.

    In today¡¯s world where filial piety is the top priority, a person who knows filial piety is always easy to make people feel good about him.

    He waited in silence for a while, until Song Yan smiled and said, "Okay, Cong'er, don't keep me waiting."

    Jia Cong then gave up and gave Song Hua a wink, asking him to take care of him carefully. Then he sat down and faced the eight people opposite him.

    Fang Shuhe, who was originally the closest to Song Yan and had the best moral character, spoke first, saying: "Qingchen, you are Duke Songchan's most beloved disciple, and you are also the person whom Mr. You Min values ????very much. The two of them are  The world's master is admired by all the scholars in the world, and he is also the most respected scholar in the literary world. From your mouth, the four words of the world are spread, and the two gentlemen were canonized in this world. Therefore, you should be among our generation, even though you are a martial artist.  Disciple Xun."

    Chu Dongming nodded in agreement and said: "A disciple of Wu Xun does not hinder anything. One Qingchen style and several Qingchen poems are enough to shine for hundreds of generations. He is also a member of the Wuxu Branch. There is no doubt that he is a disciple of my famous religion. If he  No, who else is qualified to call himself a Juzi?"

    Others nodded, and Fang Shuhe continued: "But whatever you have done since you went south, no matter what reasons you have to cover it up, you are still contributing to the new party that is eager for quick success and instant benefits."

    As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions became solemn again.

    Jia Cong shook his head and said: "Mr. Shuhe, the younger generation has always been at odds with the New Party. The sons of the New Party Yuan Fu Ning Zechen, the son of the Minister of Rites, the Son of the Left Minister of the Ministry of Households, and other members of the New Party all died because of the younger generation. If the New Party is now  Whoever I most want to die early, the juniors will do their part. So as Mr. Shuhe said, the juniors really don¡¯t dare and can¡¯t afford it.¡±

    "Hehehe"

    Maybe they thought of many things they wanted to do but couldn't do, or didn't dare to do. Jia Cong did it, which made them very happy, and a group of old people laughed out loud.

    After laughing, Shi Gongshou reminded: "Even so, what you did is still helping them."

    Jia Cong said: "Mr. Gongshou, the junior only restored Jinyi under the emperor's order and never took the initiative to help the new party. On the contrary, Jiangnan Governor Fang Yue and Jiangnan Chief Envoy Tang Yan, two important members of the new party, all fell to the junior.  Hands. I think that I act justly and have no shame. I can guarantee that among the new parties in the world, including those in the Duzhong Cabinet, some of you elders will call me a remnant of the old party."

    There are some things that cannot be said or even recognized.

    This is the wisdom that Song Yan taught Jia Cong in life.

    If you show weakness now, you will have lost more than half of the negotiation at the beginning, and you will not be able to continue.

    Sure enough, seeing Jia Cong being so impeccable and looking at his serious face when he spoke, the eight people opposite him couldn't laugh or cry.

    Fang Shuhe cupped his hands and said to Song Yan: "You are a good disciple of Duke Songchan!"

    Song Yan chuckled, sipped a cup of ginseng tea, nodded, and continued to fall asleep.

    Everyone was helpless. Fang Shuhe could only look at Jia Cong and said: "Qing minister, the new party is bent on implementing new laws and destroying the foundation of the imperial court since the Tang and Song Dynasties. Although we tried our best to resist, we were confused by you.  The punch disrupted the position, but now I can no longer resist. Seeing that the situation is about to end, the world's gentry is about to suffer a disaster, and they can't even farm, read, and inherit the family Fortunately, I heard Duke Songchan say, do you have any ideas?"

    Jia Cong was a little strange and said: "Mr. Shuhe, the younger generation has always been curious. "Yi" says: poverty leads to change, change leads to generalization, generality leads to long-lasting. You gentlemen are all knowledgeable seniors, so you should understand this principle deeply. But why?  Focusing on the fields? Money is needed for studying and inheritance, but it is not just the fields that can produce money. Why not change to business? Do you really think that business is a cheap industry? Then you can also arrange servants and stewards to take care of it."

    When Uncle Fang and others heard this, they all shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

    Chu Dongming said angrily: "Qing minister, don't we know the way of merchants?"It doesn't take a year, but at most three months, to knock the existing silk price into a mess, which is not good for anyone.  By then, many people who rely on spinning wheels for a living will be bankrupt or even have their families destroyed.  Therefore, before a big market is opened, these spinning wheels and the silk spun must not flow into the private sector.  "

    When Uncle Fang and others heard this, they looked at each other, then nodded slowly and said, "This is a great thing to say."

    Sun Boqi frowned and said, "Where is the big market?"

    Without Jia Cong's need to answer, Uncle Fang simply said, "Could it be that the Qing ministers had the idea of ??opening up the sea?"

    Sun Boqi said: "In the previous dynasty, the Song Dynasty fought against the Three Kingdoms with a corner of the country. The state assets it relied on were salt and commercial taxes. The strategy of opening up the sea in the Song Dynasty was extremely clever. People at that time used silk, damask,  Cloths, porcelain, tea, medicinal materials, gongs, paper, lacquerware and other commercial goods are loaded on sea ships and sold to overseas countries, and five times the profit can be earned. Then rhinoceros horns, ivory, tortoise shells, coral trees, horse heads from overseas countries  Pearls, crane tops, golden mother crane tops, Saha thorns, white bibu, turmeric cloth, Western cloth, rose dew, agarwood, agarwood, phlegm, frankincense, musk, gold and silver incense and other commercial goods can be returned five times.  Profit. Just one trip and you can get ten times the profit. This is the reason why Song Dynasty was rich. But

    Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, China almost fell under the hooves of beasts. At that time, countless people from the Song Dynasty rowed out to sea, causing a great decline in the population.  Emperor Taizu Gao was worried about this, so he issued a ban on civilian ships not going to sea. Now only official ships are allowed to travel"

    Jia Cong shook his head and said: "This order is out of date. There are many small countries in foreign countries, or Western merchants can fabricate a country at will and forge credentials, so that they can carry a large number of merchants into our country and seize gold and silver. Then replace it with silk porcelain.  If you can transport it back to the West, the profit will be more than thirty times the profit? Therefore, if you gentlemen can use the new law as a chess piece to discuss the policy of opening up the sea with the new party. If you gentlemen can create a maritime Silk Road, the Daqian Silk Road will be  With great success, this new type of spinning wheel can be used all over the world, and in this way, it can help the country become rich and the people strong. Then, gentlemen, your trip will benefit the present generation and make great contributions to the future."

    Ouyang Demou reminded: "I heard that there are many bandits on the sea, and they are extremely ruthless. People who take the boat often lose both their people and the boat, which is extremely miserable"

    These words were like pouring a basin of ice water, causing the atmosphere in the side hall to cool down suddenly. However, Jia Cong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. His Majesty ordered me to investigate the details of overseas countries in detail before.  Please be prepared for enquiries. Therefore, the Jinyiwei Escort Division will open up a sea route to explore various countries, and by the way, it can open a way for Daqian merchant ships to escort."
