Please, let me be a fool

But because the border mutual market has not yet started.

So it can only be done in the dark.

As for why he didn't tell about Sun Kejian's money.

It was also requested by the other party, saying that after all, this was to be done in the name of the imperial court, and if outsiders knew about it, it would be their own money.

Then many people will think that the Ministry of Households has no money, which may cause some troubles, especially when border soldiers are fighting bloody battles outside. At this time, it is better to keep it secret.

But Sun Kejian didn't pay attention to those reference books and the discussions among the courtiers.

Because he knows what he's doing, plus his childhood reputation is not very good.

So just choose to ignore it.

As long as the border mutual market is completed, everyone will be speechless.

In this regard, Song Gongwen naturally chose to agree, after all, Sun Kejian's words are very reasonable.

The Ministry of Households is in charge of the world's money and food. If outsiders know that there is no money, they don't know what will happen.

"I see." Zhang Zhengming nodded.

In fact, at the beginning, he didn't have a good impression of Sun Kejian.

First of all, the other party is a member of the Sun family, and he is also from a family of merchants. In addition, knowing this person's virtues, I don't understand why His Majesty appointed this person as the servant of the household department.

But later, I heard from Song Gongwen that the other party was able to get along with the two ideas of border cross-border market and maritime trade.

It was immediately clear that this person was a great talent, although he might not have any talent in governing the country.

But in terms of economics, they have different ideas.

So he treats Sun Kejian.

The impression began to change accordingly.

Because governing a country requires many conditions.

Whether it is political, military, or economic, it is indispensable.

His student Song Gongwen has the talent for reform and reform, while Sun Kejian can find ways to increase the court's economy and treasury revenue.

As for the military, even though Marquis Shenwu is old and strong, the current Wei Dynasty is full of talents.

He could already predict that in the hands of these people, the national strength of the Great Wei would definitely flourish!

As a veteran who laughs wholeheartedly for the country and the people.

Seeing this scene, why not feel relieved?

"Your Majesty, you really have the eyes to recognize heroes." At this moment, Zhang Zhengming couldn't help but sigh.

"That's right." Song Gongwen said with a smile immediately: "Sun Kejian may lose money in the family business, but if he is put in the court, he can show his talents to the fullest. Just like my student, I am not good at judging cases, and Your Majesty, too. Overcome all opinions and mention me to this position, otherwise, I would not be able to realize my dream of serving the country.”

After saying this, he and Zhang Zhengming couldn't help but glance at each other, and both saw the smile in each other's eyes.

As a saying goes, Maxima often exists, but Bole does not.

Even if a person is talented.

But if there is no chance to show it, it will be the same as ordinary people.

What matters is that someone sees his talent and gives him a chance to show it.

In the eyes of both teachers and students, His Majesty is such a bole.

In the eyes of others, Sun Kejian is a person who can't even manage the family business, and how can such a person be suitable for being an official?

But His Majesty saw that he was different, and appointed him as the servant of the household department.

This is something that no one understands.

But that's why.

Only then is His Majesty's unique vision more realistic.

Regarding this, Song Gongwen felt the deepest, because this was how he was discovered.

But soon, his eyes changed slightly at this moment, and he couldn't help sighing, as if he was worried about something.

But as smart as Zhang Zhengming, he could tell at a glance, and smiled immediately: "Gongwen, are you worried about your son?"

Before the capital got into trouble because of Sun Kejian's incident.

Most talked about.

It was Song Hongzhi who served as the commander of Liaozhen.

A young man from a scholarly family is still a playboy, no matter how you look at it, he is not expected to be a general.But Your Majesty did just that, and handed over the matter of the battle with Gao Yang Kingdom to the other party.

If there is no general in the imperial court who can stand alone, maybe it can be explained.

But the problem is that there are so many fierce generals in the Wei army.

It's easy to single out a general.

Don't say anything else.

Take Zhao Jiguang, the former general of Zhenbei, the son of Marquis Shenwu, for example.

Although fighting against the grassland tribes has indeed suffered some losses for so many years, compared with the grasslands, Gaoyang country is not a little bit worse.

If he is appointed as the commander, even if the number of troops in his hands is weaker than that of the local government, he will definitely be able to win.

So everyone didn't understand that at the time.

It's just that it's done now.

It's useless to say anything more.

But Song Gongwen, as his father, couldn't help thinking about it all the time.

After all, there would be a big battle anytime, anywhere, and my son had only been in the imperial forest army for a while, other than that, he had no experience in the army at all.

In this case, once there is a real war, even if the opponent has martial arts, how strong is a person?

"Actually..." Zhang Zhengming thought for a while, and immediately said: "I don't think you need to worry about Gongwen."

"Let's not talk about it, next to Hongzhi, there are a group of lieutenants with outstanding abilities, who can be safe."

"Even if there is a real war between the two countries, does the Gaoyang Kingdom really dare to have an enmity with us, Great Wei?"

He smiled softly and continued: "Besides, why do you think that your son really has no military talent at all? You said it yourself, Your Majesty's insightful eyes can discover the advantages that others can't see."

"Maybe Hongzhi can really win this battle and achieve a unique result?"

Although Zhang Zhengming didn't believe it at first.

But he always felt that His Majesty's arrangement must have a deep meaning.

After all, the battle between the imperial court and the Gaoyang Kingdom is related to the majesty of the Great Wei and should not be underestimated.

Next to him, Song Gongwen opened his mouth after hearing this, not knowing how to speak.

Others may not know, but don't you know your son?

In terms of martial arts, he does have some talent.

But is fighting and practicing martial arts the same thing?

It is not something that can be done by one person. Moreover, he is very clear that his son has never even read any military books. If there is a fight, he will be in a hurry.

He is indeed very confident in His Majesty's arrangement, but the problem is that he is his son.

A knowing son is like a father!

"Teacher, you don't know that this child, Hongzhi, has never experienced any major events since he was a child. He has been spoiled by my wife and the queen. You must have heard that just a few days ago, because he was not used to To eat dry food, he actually asked His Majesty to provide him with a few cooks."

Speaking of this, Song Gongwen couldn't bear it anymore, his face was full of sadness, and he continued: "This is also His Majesty's generosity. He treated my Song family kindly. If it were someone else, I'm afraid he would be directly angered."

People who join the army have to endure hardships, especially in the ever-changing battlefield, it is common for them to not be able to eat well for a few days.

But now, the other party has not officially taken up the post yet, so he chooses to pick and choose...

Even he, the father, didn't know what to say.

"I've heard of that."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhengming was stunned for a moment.

I have also gone out with the army before, and I understand that those who join the army must overcome some difficulties.

People like Song Hongzhi are really rare...

But in the end, he still relieved and said: "It's okay, Hong Zhi is still young, just give him some time, the battle between the imperial court and Gao Yang country should not start so soon, Gao Yang country will definitely not dare to fight first."

That's right, Gao Yangguo didn't dare, but my son dared...

Song Gongwen wanted to speak, but in the end, he just nodded and said, "I hope."

Zhang Zhengming also knew that the other party was not at ease, so he couldn't help but continued: "Although Hongzhi is a little irritable on weekdays, he is still young, unlike my nephew, who is in his 40s and is outside all day. Actually, I should worry you more."

"You mean Ying Xing?"

Hearing the teacher mentioning his nephew, Song Gongwen immediately stopped thinking about his son and said immediately.

"Ying Xing and the students can be regarded as good friends. The students know him well, but they don't want to be as bad as what you said, the teacher. The things you made, the students think, are quite useful."

"Some time ago, the students also received a letter from him. He said that he was preparing to write a book recently, and recorded all his thoughts, what he saw and heard in it, and he also said that he would soon Back to the capital."

These words moved Zhang Zhengming slightly, but he frowned quickly and couldn't help saying: "He really didn't regard me as an uncle, he didn't even say in advance when he came back!"

After all, the other party is his only relative, and he still cares very much.

He just heard that his nephew was coming back, but he didn't say anything.

I couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"It's you who is too strict."

Song Gongwen said with a smile: "Ying Xing has always liked making those little gadgets, but you said it was a strange skill, and he was actually unwilling to ask him to read more sage books. But you, as his comfort, let him Raised, naturally dare not disobey you."

"So, when he comes back, you should be more understanding, don't be like before."

If it were changed to the time when he was still the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

He wouldn't say such things, after all, the other party was the Taifu.

But now.

As a student, what should be said, still has to be said.

Moreover, the other party's nephew is also his good friend, so he naturally hopes that the relationship between the two will not be the same as before.

"Okay, let's not talk about this." Zhang Zhengming shook his head at this moment, and didn't want to talk about this issue any more.

Because his nephew was his heart disease.

As a contemporary great Confucianism.

But there is a nephew who doesn't like sage books. Whoever it is, it will be a headache for everyone.

Seeing this, Song Gongwen smiled softly and didn't say much.

And the next time.

The two were talking about other things.

The reform was progressing smoothly. Although the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River made a lot of trouble, because Wang Shouyuan secretly supported it, there was no disturbance.

Therefore, Song Gongwen's idea is to carry out other reform measures, and for these, he naturally needs to discuss with his teacher to plan what to do next.

Because there was a sudden army gathering in the grassland, they had a premonition in their hearts that maybe something big would happen in the near future.

Before that, they must handle their internal affairs well, at least not leaving too much trouble,

After all, in the eyes of the teacher and the students, His Majesty is someone who wants to become a wise king through the ages.

In the future, we must do things that the previous emperors could not do.

under these circumstances.

All worries must be eliminated.

just.

In the eyes of the two, the eternal sage.
