[Comprehensive Mythology] Asking about the beginning
Chapter 21 Farewell to Zhang Yong
My thoughts returned to their original positions, and everything that happened last night slowly entered my mind.Suddenly opened the window, only to see a piece of sunshine just in time.Although it is not very hot, it is quite heart-warming, and there is a kind of calming power in the breath.
Washed up, changed clothes, and had breakfast.Tang Yuanmo, the eldest lady of the Tang clan, came to invite him, and said that Zhang Zhizhou's boat was already a ferry, and asked Mr. Jiang if he wanted to go with him, so that Zhang Zhizhou could feel at ease.
Thinking that since entering Shu, he has never met Zhang Yong.Although because he didn't learn much about history in his previous life, he didn't agree much with Zhang Yong and Zhang Zhizhou, who was already a well-known minister.At least in Jiang Ning's view, Mr. Zhang, who raised him, is more like an enlightened wise man than an upright bureaucrat with strong bones.But he is very familiar with his various talents.Now that I think about it in my previous life when the information exploded, I have never heard of this person's deeds.Probably because of ignorance or ignorance, or perhaps because of the intuitions of later generations, the anecdotal political achievements that belonged to him were assigned to other characters.
For example, Bao Heizi with the blue sky above his head.
Therefore, after getting along with each other for these years, Jiang Ning no longer entangled Zhang Yong and Zhang Guaiya, who had never heard of his name in his previous life, and why he was the candidate for the famous minister of the Song Dynasty in the mouth of the old Taoist priests.Just following this person peacefully, one can imagine the care he received.
The grace of dripping water is still reciprocated by the spring.Although Jiang Ning is not the kind of conservative person, he has always been clear about this kind of grievance.
Because of this, Tang Yuanmo's words just fell off.Jiang Ning readily followed him and went to the ferry to wait for Zhang Yong's arrival.
Although the Tang Sect is a Jianghu sect, the two sides have been working together happily ever since they got on the line of Zhang Yong.There is also that person from Ci Le Industry, who is very talented in business. When he entered Shu, he talked a lot about various business plans to Zhang Yong, a seemingly extraordinary ordinary person.Later, when Zhang Yong took office and put everything in Shu on the right track, he naturally thought of this group of foreigners he met on the way to Shu.
Since the official family who has passed away in this dynasty, although this group of Cile industry people from faraway places has obtained the right to live in Bianjing, the capital of the Song Dynasty.But after all, he is just a stranger in a foreign land.It's okay to talk about it in Bianjing city, but it's hard to move forward when you get to this remote and closed Shu land.Many kinds of business plans are naturally difficult to carry out.
Therefore, the olive branch handed over by Zhang Yong, the local official of Shu, is particularly valuable.
In the days that followed, the group of foreign businessmen reciprocated and proposed a very bold and crazy plan:
Paper money was used instead of copper as the monetary unit of the Song Dynasty to solve the problem of lack of copper mines in Shu.
It's almost groundbreaking.
In the history of his ancestors and the education Zhang Yong received, there has never been such a whimsical method.
But if you think about it carefully, such a method is not impossible.
Scholars, farmers, businessmen, since ancient times, merchants are the last.The way of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business has always been pursued by rulers.Only a few officials in this dynasty had to relax the control on commerce due to various difficulties such as border issues.Even to encourage the development of this business.
Zhang Yong and Zhang Zhizhou, who are well aware of the hardships of the people's livelihood, naturally know that as long as this business is used well, the benefits to the people's livelihood will be endless.
But since the founding of the country, the status of the Shu land in the hearts of all the officials and gentlemen above the court is obvious to all, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was raised by a stepmother.There is a shortage of copper mines in Shu, and the imperial court is also difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.The annual military expenses and salaries paid to officials are a large amount of expenses, not counting the Yellow River breach, where there is a severe drought and so on.Naturally, he took care of the remote place of Sichuan flawlessly.
Zhang Yong doesn't have the ability to conjure copper coins out of thin air, but if paper money is used instead, it may not be a solution.
In fact, in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Tang Dynasty, this embryonic form existed.
After all, metals such as copper, which are used as currency units, are not easy and unsafe to carry.However, the gold and silver standard was not established in this era, and it was generally accepted by everyone.
The emergence of cabinets and flying money has greatly alleviated this problem.
However, with the turmoil of wars since the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, the Fangfang and Feiqian were naturally greatly hindered.
Zhang Yong couldn't refuse the big cake drawn by Ci Leye, who had already integrated into the Song Dynasty and intended to develop a business in this foreign country.Similarly, if this group of aliens wanted to achieve success in this remote and isolated Shu, they would not be able to do without the support of Zhang Yong, a local official in Shu.
It hits it off.
What's even more rare is that Tang Yaoqing, the head of the Tang Sect in central Shu, is the head of the sect.The people in the rivers and lakes in the green forests and grasslands are actually very optimistic about this.
This is an old fox who is clever, vigilant and good at seizing the opportunity.With his transcendent vision, he saw the hidden profits and interests behind it.That's why he was so excited just now, dispatching a whole family of young and old to do the front post for Zhang Yong, the magistrate of Yizhou who has not been stable since he took office.
During the short time when Jiang Ning waited for Zhang Yong's boat to arrive, the old fox briefly told Jiang Ning about these things that happened during Jiang Ning's absence.Different from the development of the events described by Miss Tang, Tang Yuanmo, this person didn't tell much, but every sentence was on point.But it was very good for Jiang Ning to understand what was hidden behind these incidents.
This man is a wonderful friend, provided you are useful to him.As for more, it's not something that Jiang Ning can discover at this stage.
Without him, Jiang Ning had too little experience, no matter in terms of cultivation or experience.Lack of that temper and precipitation.
In this short period of time, Zhang Yong and Zhang Zhizhou's boat finally arrived at the ferry.Thanks to Tang Yaoqing's guidance in advance, he was not surprised when he saw a large number of craftsmen on the ship and aliens with high noses and deep eyes, although they were dressed in the most fashionable clothes in the Song Dynasty, they were obviously nondescript.
It was the group of Cileye people I met on the boat when Qianfan entered Shu.It is also called blue hat Huihui, or Tiaojin Huihui.In later generations, they were called, the Jews.
However, after the baptism of time, this group of alien races who wandered away from their hometowns, even though they maintained most of their customs and habits, were finally different from those Jewish peoples that spread in other places.
We've met each other a few times, first we ate in that restaurant, and it was as if the wind and the dust were washed away.Just now, there were local officials who took the craftsmen together to investigate the surrounding situation.As for Jiang Ning and the members of the Tang family, they accompanied that Zhizhou in person in the temple of Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun, offering incense, offering sacrifices, and so on.It was not early, and I found a place to rest, and the day passed like this.
After being separated for a long time, and there were many things during the day, Zhang Yong naturally didn't want to express anything to Jiang Ning, so he just greeted Jiang Ning a few times and then let it go.So as soon as the night came and saw off the last wave of guests who came to visit, Zhang Yong waited in the room.
The handsome young man picked up the hot teacup, ignored Zhizhou's seemingly calm face, and just made tea and poured it smoothly.After Zhang Yong took it over, he knelt on his knees and said to Zhang Zhizhou who had taken care of him for nearly ten years:
"Jiang Ning thanked Mr. for teaching for many years. It is Jiang Ning who made Mr. worry."
Between the words, there is not much intention to mention everything that has been experienced in the past few days.
Just what kind of person Zhang Yong is, he has been with this young man for nearly ten years, how could he not know what this young man intends to say at this moment.
Jiang Ning is not very human, at least judging from what Huashan Chen Tuan did that day, he was more paving the way for this young man who he could no longer take care of.Huashan Chen Xiyi, the true immortal recognized by the world in the Song Dynasty.If there is a so-called true immortal in this world, then it must be him.
And Zhang Yong, even if it was for nothing else, but the old man's dying entrustment, how dare he not try his best?
And for many years, he has treated Jiang Ning like a nephew. Why didn't this child treat him with courtesy and courtesy?But it never caused much trouble.
"Are you determined?"
The teacup in his hand did not put down, his complexion changed several times, and finally returned to his usual expression.Zhang Yong had a rare stern tone:
"What are your plans for the future? Have you found your own opportunity?"
When the old Taoist priest Chen Tuan handed over Jiang Ning to Zhang Yong, he did not shy away from expressing that the opportunity for Jiang Ning to enter the Tao was on Zhang Yong, the future famous minister of the Great Song Dynasty.It is precisely because of this that Jiang Ning has been by Zhang Yong's side in recent years and has not raised any topic of leaving.
But Zhang Yong knew that this child was going to leave after all.
Not to mention Jiang Ning, who was placed high hopes by Chen Tuan's ancestors, even the children of ordinary families will leave and go out for a living when they grow up.It's just that a good man has his ambitions in all directions, but for the unattainable art of the world, the way of the gods, even with the prophecy of the ancestor Chen Tuan, Zhang Yong upholds the attitude of being responsible for this child. But I had to ask more questions.
"Jiang Ning has never dared to change his mind. As for the road ahead, the road ahead is long, and who dares to say that what he chooses will be correct without any twists and turns? Jiang Ning dare not expect too much, but since it is Once you have made up your mind, no matter what, you have to fight hard to be reconciled."
If not, how can he be worthy of what people have experienced and suffered in these two lives, and the ardent expectations of the old Taoist Chen Tuan.
Jiang Ning didn't say anything after that, but Zhang Yong could see something from that expression.He was speechless for a while, knowing that the child had already made up his mind, Zhang Yong didn't try to dissuade him anymore, he just asked Jiang Ning about the situation, and then asked Jiang Ning to go back to his room to rest.
Washed up, changed clothes, and had breakfast.Tang Yuanmo, the eldest lady of the Tang clan, came to invite him, and said that Zhang Zhizhou's boat was already a ferry, and asked Mr. Jiang if he wanted to go with him, so that Zhang Zhizhou could feel at ease.
