Ninety-ninth bowl of soup dream (6)
Feng Ruyuan was very afraid of the king of Xijiang. He was so afraid that he would tremble for a long time when he looked at him. Every time he was summoned, he wished he could just talk to Mr. Meng so that he would not be nervous.
But Zhang Wenzheng was completely opposite to him. He was afraid of Mr. Meng to the bone, but he was able to speak well to the king of Xijiang.
Qing Huan didn't put a worm in Feng Ruyuan's body, because Feng Ruyuan is a quick-witted person, unlike Zhang Wenzheng's big-headed, thick-necked, reckless man who doesn't need worms at all, and Feng Ruyuan will be frightened by his own brain power arrive.
The Hu people have always been careful not to reveal their grazing methods to them. Compared with the fat and strong cattle, sheep and horses raised by the Hu people, the livestock raised in Xijiang are much worse. In the past, when the relationship between the two countries was good, they would exchange Da Zhou's cloth seeds, but now the two countries are in dire straits, and it would be good if they didn't fight directly, let alone friendly trade exchanges.
The task assigned to Feng Ruyuan by the Song and Jin Dynasties was precisely this.
When he came to Xijiang from the capital, there were only a few people who brought gold and silver treasures. Because they had heard about Xijiang for a long time, Song and Jin chose books on agriculture, various well-preserved seeds, and things that could be used as exchange goods—this was to ensure their attractiveness to the Hu people. He even had the idea of seeking skin from a tiger, uniting with the Hu people first, and then eating the Hu people.
With his wrist and brain power, this is not a problem at all. But Qing Huan appeared, and she broke all his plans, turning him from a fearsome avenger into a down-to-earth planner. According to his original idea, he should be able to hit the Central Plains by now, but at the moment he is still studying how to double the output of cotton grown in Western Xinjiang. There is a lot of wind and sand in the western border area, and this wind and sand belt has also been used to plant peanuts and soybeans that are suitable for growth and have tenacious vitality, as well as some special medicinal materials. Qing Huan proposed water diversion irrigation and improved fertilization, and Fan Lao really made a fuss!
If it is by one person, he can naturally take revenge, but what kind of person will he become after revenge? Today's Xijiang is inseparable from Wanwan and other people. It is precisely because of these people that Song and Jin were not lost in hatred.
In fact, he could guess why the emperor's grandfather, whose body had been strong all the time, suddenly passed away without warning, without leaving a word for himself. That was the grandfather who taught him to raise him, the only relative he treats sincerely in this world, if he can't take revenge, what's the point of living
He was... going to be a tyrant.
Don't put other people's lives in your eyes, treat the people as nothing, indulge in killing, and the fog in front of you, you can't see anything clearly, the end result is naturally only a bad reputation. That must not be what Grandpa Huang wanted to see, that's why he left Zhou Fan and the two elders to him, and told the two elders to help him and teach him, and at the same time... also sent Qing Huan to him.
His benefactor, his best friend, his confidant, his... his...
She is like a bright light in life. When she appeared in front of him, Song Jin woke up like a dream, and finally realized how much what he was going to do would disappoint the emperor, Zhou Fan, and those who still looked up to her. Follow him, and those who follow him are disappointed.
Team up with the barbarians? What's the difference between that and treason!
He is young and energetic, but he is not as good as Feng Ruyuan who only loves money. This guy loves money and deals with barbarians, but he really didn't reveal any news about Da Zhou, and instead took advantage of it. Song Jin felt that Feng Ruyuan was not suitable for being an official and was suitable for business, so he was sent to be in charge of business dealings with the barbarians, and Feng Ruyuan was ordered to issue a military order that he had to make every penny. just cut off his head.
Feng Ruyuan's angina has gotten worse. Before, he couldn't hear money, but now seeing money makes his brain ache.
What's the use of more? It's not his, and you can't take it home! His vault is completely empty, and now his wife is using his vault as a cellar for pickles. Sometimes the vault door is not closed properly at night, and the taste is so sour.
It has to be said that Song Jin is very good at using people, his vision is old and precise, even Feng Ruyuan, who did not make decisions for the people when he was an official, but searched for the people's fat and anointing everywhere, is an excellent pawn in his hands. Needless to say, Feng Ruyuan really had a way of doing business, and he made the barbarians dumbfounded. The fur cattle and sheep were sent to Xijiang one after another like a stream of water, and it was not a loss at all! Originally, Song and Jin were ready to snatch the women and children back from Xijiang, but Feng Ruyuan was so powerful that he used a pack of bupleurum seeds to get them all back!
Make a profit without losing money.
After Fan Lao's continuous transformation and cultivation, large areas of Bupleurum bupleurum were planted on the sandy land in the central belt of Xijiang. Bupleurum is not easy to cultivate, but it is resistant to drought and drought. The transformed central area of western Xinjiang is very suitable for planting, and because of the high market price, people plant Bupleurum, and through the government, they can completely support their families. Then sell it through the Xijiang Mansion - a steady stream of money has flowed to the Xijiang Palace.
But Bupleurum is not suitable for growing on the land of the Hu people. The medicinal materials that can grow in the sandy soil of the western Xinjiang can't grow at all in the lush water and grass of the Hu people. What's more, Feng Ruyuan, a profiteer, only gave them seeds, but didn't tell them how to cultivate them!
Qing Huan was deeply convinced by Song Jin's vision of employing people, thinking that Song Jin planned to cut down this Xijiang Taifu who only liked money for nothing. Now that Feng Ruyuan is showing extremely high talent like a wild weed, she feels that Song Jin probably won't be willing to part with it.
The merits and demerits are enough to make up for it. What Feng Ruyuan did, the money he earned, and the cows and sheepskins he swindled from the Hu people were indispensable to both the Song and Jin Dynasties and the people of Xijiang.
It was only after Feng Ruyuan was sent to trade with the barbarians that he found that his life was fun again, because he saw that others were taken in because of a disadvantage, and his mood improved, and he even had angina pectoris. Get better! He decided to make persistent efforts and make fools of himself. Over time, it got a nickname, known as the razor.
Thinking about it now, he liked to lie to his younger siblings for money since he was a child. The reason why he took the imperial examination later was because Da Zhou emphasized agriculture over business. Gold list title. Later, Feng Ruyuan was really top three in high school, but he also lost his heart, forgetting that he actually didn't like being an official at all.
Apart from money, there is really nothing to mention his joy in being a human being.
Spring goes and spring comes, and in the blink of an eye, three years have passed by. Today's Xijiang is very different from when Qing Huan came three years ago. The streets are bustling, the stalls are full of goods, and every household is full of food and clothing. The once barren land has now become a paradise on earth.
The Hu people came to commit crimes several times, but they were all beaten back by the iron bucket-like Xijiang army, but in the imperial court, Xijiang is still the Xijiang of the past. But the current seat of the emperor is not safe, he is too eager to ascend the throne, the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, the plague of locusts in the east of the river, the drought in Jiangxi, and it coincides with several other princes raising troops to rebel—according to reports from the spies in the capital, the emperor is very busy now. I'm so devastated, I heard that they are all bald.
Song Jin stroked his thick black hair, secretly thankful. In the past three years, he has been keeping a low profile and recharging his energy. Not only has his military strength greatly increased, making Western Xinjiang prosperous, he has also grown taller and slender, but his skin has not been tanned. Mr. Fan, who was basking in the sun and engaged in the land, the two of them were standing under the shade of a tree in broad daylight, basically they couldn't see where they were.
Qing Huan walked in with a dozen documents in her arms, her beautiful eyes were smiling like a spring breeze, Song Jin asked curiously: "Is there anything good that can't happen?"
She first put the official document on his desk, asked him to review it, and told him: "I just went out for a stroll and met my fourth son."
The fourth son is the little boy she rescued three years ago. Now he has grown into an adult, tall and strong. Although he lost half of his hand, he can still support the family. He is now grinding medicine in the Yaozhuang, because he lost one of his hands, and his feet are stronger, so he can get twice the result with half the effort when stepping on the medicine grinding pestle. His younger sister is responsible for putting the medicinal materials and taking out the ground medicinal materials. It is just the two brothers and sisters. The money they earn is enough to support the family, not to mention that there is a younger brother who runs around farming with Mr. Fan. The life of the three brothers and sisters is very good.
"The fourth son told me that everyone outside is full of praise and gratitude to the prince, saying that the prince is their reborn parents. Without the prince, they would not be where they are today."
Song Jin drew a circle on the official document with a cinnabar pen to indicate that he had read it, and said lightly, "I see."
His gentle eyes betrayed his pleasure.
Qing Huan pressed the official document with both hands and approached him: "Actually, the prince is very happy, right?"
She was too close, Song Jin was suffocated. It has been three years, and her attraction to him has become stronger and stronger. If Song Jin thought it was an illusion at the beginning, then after three years of getting along day and night, he had long since given up resisting. Big deal, after returning to the capital to avenge his revenge, he randomly picks a well-behaved and sensible child from the royal family to be the emperor, and he will follow her to Xianyun Yehe.
After all, two men cannot have children.
After waiting for a while before Song Jin responded, Qing Huan noticed that his eyes were straightened, and seemed to be amused. She chuckled and withdrew her hand. "Before I came, what did the prince do?"
"Reading." He replied without changing his expression.
"That's it, the prince is really studious." Qing Huan turned around and waved her hands. "I'll go to Fan Lao's to have a look, the prince hastened to read the official document."
Song Jin didn't keep her, and only after she left, he carefully took out the picture album that he had hidden in his sleeve with sharp eyesight when she came in.
There are five large characters printed on it: "Eighteen Forms of Longyang".
He's really starting to learn.
