The warm pavilion fell into silence. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen were the last, and they could not even participate in the imperial examination within three generations.And out of various considerations, the rulers are quite taboo about the status of merchants and their rights and interests. Flowing means communication, which means instability, and instability means that the court will be unstable. Moreover, if everyone If they all went to trade, where did the grain come from?Although Jia Zhen's method can see benefits, it means that the court must give these merchants enough benefits, and these benefits are likely to cause harm to the court in the future.

"I feel that this method is inappropriate, and I am greedy for the present." The Minister of the Ministry of Households came out to deny it first, and said.Jia Zhen paused, and said: "Your Majesty, I think this method is appropriate. Even the previous dynasties did not have such examples. For example, in the Qin Dynasty, even Zi Gong, a disciple of Confucius, was born as a merchant. Didn't Your Majesty say that there is Bole in the world?" , and then there is a thousand-mile horse. If these merchants can be appointed properly, they may not become good horses." "Jia Shilang's words are wrong. Apart from other things, Lu Buwei of the Qin Dynasty is a traitor. It’s not deep enough!” The servant of the household department said, but with hesitation, such a ancestral system, who would dare to set such a precedent, such a serious word will kill his head.

"May I ask Yun Shangshu whether he knows Zigong, and it is too one-sided to make such a judgment based on Lu Buwei alone. Besides, the ancestral system is not immutable. The past cannot be pursued, and the coming can be remonstrated. Since ancient times, good ministers and virtuous ministers Who else sticks to the old rules and speaks with the ancestral system? Isn’t this ridiculous? If it weren’t for Qin Xiaowang’s use of Shang Yang’s reforms, how could the country be unified after the Han Dynasty? If the Han Dynasty hadn’t been because of Han Wudi’s ambition Forge ahead, make great use of talents, how can there be peace on the border, since then the Huns dare not bully China and invade our territory. Furthermore, I have a saying that goodness is like water, and the imperial court should do the same, and it will change when it should." Jia Zhen was a little excited , those tumbling emotions that were backlogged in his heart seemed to be surging out, and his expression was also excited, which surprised everyone.

"Jia Qing, be careful with your words." Zheng Hedi's complexion was a little dark, and there was a faint sense of oppression in his voice. "I'm guilty." Jia Zhen woke up, knelt down and said, just now he was a little too excited, implying that Zheng Hedi is not as good as Han Wu and Qin Xiao, and it may make Zhenghe Di unhappy. "There is some truth in what you said, but this matter has a lot to do with it." Although Zhenghedi is determined to forge ahead, it is more forced by the environment. If it is not because of internal and external troubles, Zhenghedi has to move forward. However, such a blatant break of the feudal hierarchy is definitely not what Emperor Zhenghe would like to see.

"The matter of silver will be handed over to the Minister of the Household Department." Emperor Zhenghe didn't say anything more, because the atmosphere condensed and everyone didn't want to say anything more, Emperor Zhenghe quickly asked everyone to disperse. "You're too bold." Xu Wenqing was sweating for Jia Zhen. Hu Ji didn't know much about these things, but he could see that Jia Zhen's method might not work, so he just patted Jia Zhen I said goodbye first, and the business at hand was a little more serious.

"Brother Xu, do you want to say that I'm impulsive?" Jia Zhen raised her eyebrows, couldn't help but rubbed her forehead, and sighed, "After all, I was too hasty." "I don't think you can handle this in your life." , it’s not just the ancestral system, it’s been like this for hundreds of years, you’re just shaking a tree like this, so don’t think too much about it.” Xu Wenqing said it sincerely, it was really for the good of Jia Zhen, and Jia Zhen was grateful to Xu Wenqing , smiled slightly, but the corners of his mouth were hard to draw back, and he returned to his original state. He has too many enemies and accumulated too much power, but now he can only comfort himself that the time is not ripe enough. "Every day waits for tomorrow, and everything is in vain." Jia Zhen tried hard to swallow the words coiled on her tongue. This kind of dynasty is not an era where he can express his thoughts at will or criticize the king.Besides, for a more ambitious goal, it is necessary to endure the helplessness and sarcasm in front of him. "Don't worry, how about our reunion today?" Jia Zhen restrained her emotions, the blood that was about to boil finally subsided, and said.

"Then you're going to bleed." Xu Wenqing was relieved to see Jia Zhen's mood stabilized. When he was in the Nuan Pavilion just now, he was afraid that Jia Boxi's stubborn temper would offend the Minister of the Household Department. To offend the government and the emperor.Even if Zheng Hedi is very enlightened, don't use your own neck to try the limit of the king's patience. Fortunately, Jia Boxi is quite reassuring. Since he invites himself to have a drink, why should he push back and forth, as for those annoying official duties? Forget it for now.

"Wine is a song, what's life like?" Jia Zhen said, holding up the wine glass in her hand, shaking her head. "Tsk tsk, I don't see how you look like a Confucian scholar when you're drinking, and you look like a warrior with your vigorous and vigorous style in the past." Xu Wenqing joked about Jia Zhen with some amusement, and said.Jia Zhen couldn't help but glared at Xu Wenqing, then drank the wine in her glass in one gulp, took the jug and refilled herself a glass. "Hey, drinking too much hurts your health. I didn't come to accompany you to drink too much. Let's drink well, but I have to go home and explain to your sister-in-law." Xu Wenqing shook his head and snatched the wine glass from Jia Zhen's hand , and put it aside.

"Success." Jia Zhen actually doesn't like to drink, but today she is really suffocated, and he can't tell anyone what he knows, so Du Kang is the only one who can relieve his worries, so it's hard not to restrain himself.However, he has a good capacity for drinking, even after drinking two jugs, he knew that Xu Wenqing had good intentions, so he simply put down the glass. "That's right. People who are not going well in their official careers just drink away their sorrows. How can you worry about it like you. It's just that I said, Bo Xi, Yun Shangshu has a good temperament, and you will still be with him tomorrow." Make me smile, it's always bad to have multiple enemies in the court." Xu Wenqing sighed and suggested. "Understood, just don't worry." Jia Zhen nodded, he knew the seriousness in his heart, Yun Shangshu is a good character, it's just that the two of them have different ideas and conflicts.

The two chatted all over the world for a long time before going home. Both Jia Mao and Jia Wei found that their father was in a bad mood, so they worked extra hard to perform, which made Jia Zhen feel better involuntarily. Now that I feel that I am an adult now, I want to share the burden for my father.And Jia Zhen finally calmed down completely at this time. Because of those memories and the real existence in his mind, coupled with the current situation, he was a little lost and lost his former calmness. Today he behaved too impulsively. I was about to turn four, counting my age in my previous life, it could be said to be seventy years old, but I turned out to be like a kid.

"It's okay." Jia Zhen pressed her son's shoulder, and time flew by like water. In a blink of an eye, his daughter got married and his son became an adult. "Prepare for the imperial examination, but don't put too much pressure on yourself." Jia Zhen smiled lightly, and the father and son talked for a long time before Jia Zhen told them to go to rest.

The next day, Jia Zhen personally apologized to the Minister of the Household Department. The Minister of the Household Department was not difficult for Jia Zhen, but the two talked a lot. Now that Shangshu Yun is getting older, he is thinking of his children and grandchildren, and he will definitely not confront Jia Zhen. , not to mention that Jia Zhen took the initiative to apologize and gave him enough face, so he was naturally happy to take this opportunity to make friends with Jia Zhen.As for Emperor Zhenghe, it's easier to deal with, just admit your mistakes. Besides, although I was impatient at the time, the words I said may not have been heard by Emperor Zhenghe. With the help of Xu Wenqing, Hu Ji and others, this little The conflict is smoothed out.

"Look at you, when you have found the Imperial College and those who study foreign guns, cannons and shipbuilding, you can be considered a half-expert yourself. Look at you, the books you have read recently, you are probably four All the books in the Yiguan have been moved to our official department." Hu Ji just finished his work, stepped into Jia Zhen's office, and found that Jia Zhen was still buried in a pile of books, forgetting himself, and writing on paper with a pen. Writing and drawing is like calculating something. "I can't do it if I don't understand it. I don't understand it. How can I expect to find reliable talents." Jia Zhen happened to finish one calculation, put down her pen, closed the book, got up and couldn't help stretching. Forgot to tease Hu Ji, "Jian, why don't you come and take a look for me." "No, I can't help but feel dizzy when I see those numbers, you always let me go, besides, I'll take a look at these, Then what do you do?" Hu Ji couldn't help but feel dizzy when he saw these formulas, those books were full of twists and turns, which were much more jerky and difficult to understand than the other books.

"Of course I'll take care of your official duties." Knowing that Hu Ji didn't like to read these books, Jia Zhen deliberately smiled. "No, no, Brother Pelliot is so talented, so it's natural that those who are capable will work harder, and I don't have to worry about the official duties of my subordinates." Hu Ji hurriedly said, and changed the subject by the way, "Actually, Bosch , I really didn't see that you still have the talent to learn Western things. I see that maybe after you retire, our sage still wants to send you to the Imperial College to teach and educate people. Knowing this, you must be serious about the imperial examination There are not many people who come out, not to mention, in terms of qualifications and talents, I saw that there were not many people who could compare with you at that time, even if you have a name." Hu Ji said this Sincerely, because of his background, although he has a strong practical ability, but he can do so well. He used to look down on those pedantic scholars. After entering the court, Jia Zhen and others turned him around. previous impressions. "Don't, don't hurt me, I can think of a good time to enjoy my life." Jia Zhen hurriedly stopped Hu Ji's idea, this Hu Ji's feelings are because he regards himself as a mascot, Guozijian, he is afraid of premature aging.

"It's said that you live to be old and learn to be old. How many people would rather die in their own positions, but you still want to enjoy life?" Hu Ji's eyes widened. Speaking of rank three and above, how many people would rather die of old age in the position of rank seven or eight, should he say that Jia Boxi is too open-minded? "This person, you can be dissatisfied with other things, but you have to obey this time. The king of Hades told you to die at the third watch, who dares to keep you until the fifth watch. I really think so, there is only so little time in a person's life, and there must be some time Give it to yourself." Jia Zhen walked around the room a few steps casually, and said to Hu Ji.

"You, you are really a weirdo." Hu Ji shook his head. He might not understand Jia Zhen's thoughts, so it's better not to waste the effort. Hu Ji picked up a document on the table and looked through it carefully. .
