Chapter 332 Zhang Wen dismissed

   "It's not about being decisive or not, but that I believe in Wenxuan."

  Compared to his own feelings, Feng Yong still believes in Li Yi's political vision, after all, he can be regarded as an authentic son of a family in central Shu.

  Anyway, even if it is offered, it will not affect Feng Tubie's use of paper to wipe his ass.

   "However, since it is a great contribution, it is justifiable for the Zhang family to grow mulberry."

  Feng Yong thought about it again, "After all, the Zhang family's mulberry will be used in the future, so I'm afraid that this credit will also be given to the Zhang family."

Li Yi's face was a little strange, and he leaned over and said in a low voice, "My brother is so kind to the Zhang family! Sanniang has been with my brother for a long time, and has been running around for him several times. Besides, the two mansions of Zhang and Guan are originally one. Since the Zhang family If you have a share, why don't you bring the Guan family along?"

  Feng Yong was stunned. Although Li Yi's words were very concealed, he still heard it.

  The meaning is nothing more than asking, if I treat the Zhang family favorably, is it possible that I really want to marry the wife of the Zhang family?

   Otherwise, why did Guan Ji follow her for so long, and work so hard back and forth, but she didn't expect the Guan family?

  Thinking of the fact that the beautiful woman even hid Huang Yueying from the past for her own sake, the girl is so extroverted, how deep is the affection?

   "Wenxuan is right."

  Feng Yong glanced at Li Yi gratefully, "San Niang went back and forth for this matter, so it's useless? You have to think about how to deal with this matter."

   "Sanniang went to Jincheng to persuade the Zhang family to plant mulberry. It was the first initiative. The Zhang family agreed to it, and it was a response. Let us offer it, how about it?"

   Li Yi suggested.

   "Good!"

  Feng Yong was overjoyed.

   "Since that's the case, send someone to Nanzheng to tell Huang Ji that she will go to Nanxiang before going to Jincheng. This matter is of great importance. It would be better to let her personally deliver the letter."

   "Little brother knows."

  At this time when it was time to harvest the autumn grain, Huang Wudie, as a large grain supplier in Nanxiang, naturally had to keep a close eye on his own land when it was time for plowing and harvesting.

  So these days she has been in Nanzheng, and she has only passed on the word that Feng Yong will be asked to transport food, and she will return to Jincheng.

   Fupo Huang went to Jincheng to spend the winter, Feng Yong also understood, but this year she went a little earlier, probably because of Zhao Guang.

  The relationship between the sister and brother seems to be progressing.

   It just worries Feng Yong, that is, whether Huang Wudie is a stone girl or not. If the rumors are true, then Zhao Guang may not agree to marry Huang Wudie if Zhao Guang wants to marry Huang Wudie.

  The September of the second year of Jianxing in the Han Dynasty, and the third year of Huangwu in Dongwu.

  The Prime Minister of the Great Han Dynasty revisited Zhang Wenzhicai, in the name of sending Deng Zhi to visit Wu again, but in fact he was escorting Zhang Wen back to Wu.

After arriving in Wu, Deng Zhi did not hesitate to praise Zhang Wen in front of the monarchs and ministers of Eastern Wu. He said that both the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty valued Zhang Wen very much. hansome.

  The exchange of visits between Han and Wu envoys greatly eased the tense confrontation between the two countries, and Soochow, which was under pressure from both sides, could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

   Zhang Wen's entry into Shu was a major event, but now he not only succeeded in bringing the two countries back to friendship, but even gained the respect of the Shu Han, which made people in Soochow feel proud.

  Zhang Wen's reputation has been greatly improved.

  From entering Shu to returning to Wu, Zhang Wen has always been treated as a guest of honor by the big man. Now the big man not only sends Deng Zhi to send him back, but even praises himself like this, which is very touching.

  So he went to the king of Wu and Sun Quan, and tried his best to praise the good government of the great man, saying that the people in the middle of Shu were stable and the politics were clear.

   This is originally a matter of courtesy and business, and it is not a big deal.

   But at this time, something happened in Soochow, that is, the **** **** incident.

  Ji Yan and Zhang Wen are fellow villagers, they are both members of the prominent Wujun family, they were recommended by Zhang Wen to be Cao Lang, the official to Shangshu, they can be regarded as the top leaders of the personnel department.

  His personality is upright, upright, easy to discuss, likes to use Confucian ethics as the basis, and criticizes people.

  Seeing that the Cao Lang in his office at that time were all incompetent people, he wanted to reform the bad habits of selecting talents without distinguishing between the virtuous and the foolish, favoritism and fraud, and confusion of the clear and the dirty.

  He first lashed out at this, and then wrote a letter of impeachment, and wanted to re-select officials.

  Finally, all those who were greedy and despicable in positions and low in ambition were demoted to minor officials in the army.

  This is a good thing.

  However, half of the people he belittled were descendants of Jiangdong wealthy families, and half were descendants of meritorious officials who followed the Sun family to conquer the world.

  Both of these are here to mix their qualifications and prepare to climb up. By doing so, he almost offended the entire rich and powerful family of Soochow Wu.

  So everyone was extremely resentful towards him, slandering and slandering spread everywhere, competing to accuse Ji Yan and Cao Lang Xu Biao, saying that they only used personal affairs and did not act according to justice.

In order to appease everyone's anger, Sun Quan directly turned over the old account, saying that Jiyan's father and brother had been against the Sun family from the very beginning (when Sun Ceping Jiangdong, Jiangdong's wealthy families were unwilling to cooperate, so Sun Ce killed many Jiangdong's wealthy families until Later, the two got married, and the relationship eased), forcing Ji Yan and Xu Biao to commit suicide.

   But at this time, Zhang Wen, Jiyan’s recommender, was desperately praising the great man’s political clarity...

  Sun Quan defeated Cao Cao in the Battle of Chibi, and defeated Liu Bei in the Battle of Yiling.

  Both of them are heroes of the world, but they were defeated by their own hands. It is the time when the spring breeze is in full swing.

  Cao Pi in the north just took advantage of the country that Cao Cao laid down.

  A Dou in the west, that is, a child who has not grown up, how could he sit on the throne if he hadn't been assisted by Zhuge Liang?

  So Sun Quan really wanted to ask loudly: "Who else?"

   At this moment, someone slapped him loudly.

  Jiyan said that she selects talents regardless of the virtuous and the foolish, so that those who are greedy and humble can steal high positions, and then that Zhang Wen said that the politics of the Shu Han is clear—is this a slap in the face?

  Sun Quan was originally a proud and arrogant person, but now he is full of self-satisfaction, how can he bear this tone?

  After forcing Ji Yan to commit suicide, he secretly hated Zhang Wen for praising Shu Han too much. In addition, his fame has grown, and he felt that if his words spread, they would confuse the people all over the world.

  At the same time, Zhang Wen and Ji Yan were both prominent families in Wu County, and they became friends again, and Ji Yan was forced to commit suicide. Sun Quan felt that Zhang Wen might not have any resentment in his heart—no, I have to act first.

  So Sun Quan ordered Zhang Wen to be locked up.

   Once the foreign aggression was gone, the gap between the Sun family and the Jiangdong wealthy family began to loom again.

  Sun Quan's love general, Luo Tong, came forward to intercede, willing to use his official status as a guarantee.

  Sun Quan couldn't listen to it, and finally recited Zhang Wen's great contribution to restoring the Han-Wu alliance. He didn't kill him, but just deposed him.

   Along with Zhang Wen, his two younger brothers, Zhang Zhi and Zhang Bai, were deposed together.

  The Zhang family in Wu County suddenly became depressed.

   "Be careful, go straight!"

  On the field of the Zhang family in Wu County, Zhang Wen stood on the field and said loudly to the farmers in the field.

  The political turmoil in the imperial court cannot be eaten, what can be eaten is the food from the fields.

  After this incident, Zhang Wen returned to his hometown to live idle.

  After harvesting the grain, Zhang Wen uncharacteristically asked the farmer to plow the land, using the Quyuan plow he brought back from the Shu area.

   As for Ba Niuli, Zhuge Liang did not give it.

  The reason is very simple. Jiangdong is mostly paddy fields, with many mountains and rivers, and the eight-ox plow is useless.

  If they don’t give it, Zhang Wen can’t do anything about it, but it’s a blessing to get Qu Yuanli anyway.

  He presented to the King of Wu, saying that the Han Dynasty was politically clear, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and men and women lived in the wild, which is not a lie.

   Among them, the output of that land is even more than that of Wu land.

  So he thought about promoting Qu Yuanli in Wu, but he almost died before he started.

  This incident also made him disheartened. I'm afraid there is no way for people in Wu to know about Qu Yuanli, so he took it to his farm for a trial.

   "My lord, Deng Bomiao, the envoy of the Han Dynasty, is here to visit."

  The next person will report.

   "Oh, please."

   Zhang Wen said quickly after hearing this.

   "Hui Shu, I harmed you, I shouldn't praise you like this, it will only make others jealous."

   Before Deng Zhiren arrived, he bowed deeply from a distance, and said sincerely, with an apologetic face.

   "Wen Zi lost his virtue, so this caused King Wu to commit a crime. What's the matter with Brother Bo Miao?"

  Zhang Wen sighed.

  Remembering that the king of Wu had just condemned himself, but he still scolded his father and brother, his heart was even more resentful.

  What did the Sun family do when they first arrived in Jiangdong? Could it be that the king of Wu really had no idea? It's even so confusing right and wrong, confusing black and white.

   It's just that Deng Bomiao is a big man's envoy, his identity is sensitive, and his every move may not be able to escape the eyes and ears of King Wu, so he dare not show strange expressions on his face.

   "Why did Bo Miao come here?"

   "Come to see old friends."

Zhang Wen was moved when he heard this, but he said in his mouth, "Bo Miao is an envoy of a great man, but Wen is a sinner now. How can he be worthy of an old friend? If you offend the king of Wu and miss the important affairs of the two countries, then What should I do?"

Deng Zhi laughed and said, "In front of the King of Wu, Zhi is an envoy, but in front of Huishu, Zhi is an old friend. The two have nothing to do with each other. Besides, a few days ago, when Zhi met King Wu, he had already expressed the kindness of the big man, Chen Yu King Wu, King Wu knows Zhizhi's intention."

   "The king of Wu also knew about coming to see Huishu this time, so there is no need for Huishu to worry."

  Deng Bomiao was very eloquent, but he was honest. Even in front of the King of Wu, he always said something, never shy away from it. He was very fond of the King of Wu, and Zhang Wen naturally knew it.

  Since he said that he had the permission of the King of Wu, it is probably because of his pleading that he could come to see him.

  Thinking of this, Zhang Wen couldn't help sighing again. Upright people like Deng Bomiao are highly valued in the Han Dynasty, but Ji Yan, who is also upright, was forced to commit suicide in Wu State.

   King Wu's arrogance has already begun to emerge.

  The two let the servants retreat and walked on the ground. Deng Zhi pointed to the field, and said, "Hui Shu devoted himself to serving the country, and brought back this Qu Yuanli from the big man, but now he can only try it in his own field, what a pity."

Although Zhang Wen fell into such a situation, he didn't want the big man to make a joke, "Since this Quyuanli is a good thing, even if the King of Wu didn't notice it for a while, it will always spread, what a pity ?”

  Deng Zhi just smiled and didn't refute.

  Promoting this Quyuanli, without the support of the government, and relying solely on the private actions of the people, may not be able to get out of Wu County in ten years, let alone spread it to the entire Soochow.

  Take the big man as an example, in order to promote the Ba Niulu, His Majesty the Emperor went out of Jincheng, stood on the ground to watch it personally, and let the people from Zhuye Supervisor go down to the ground for everyone to see.

  In the end, when the prime minister was reclaiming the wasteland around Dujiangyan, he personally organized the people to use eight-ox plows. One eight-ox plow can be plowed in a day, and the newly acquired fields are hundreds of acres. How many people were shocked?

   Only then did the big households in Shu land buy eight ox plows.

  If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, who would believe that just changing the plow would not only plow more fields, but also harvest more grain?

  Food is the lifeblood, without full confidence, who would easily change the farming method?

  If the harvest fails, it will be a major event for people to starve to death.

  So if you want to vigorously promote it, you must have the support of the government. Even the government's support alone may not be able to promote it. Before that, people must see the benefits of it.

  When Ba Niuli and Qu Yuanli came out, some people in the court were worried that they would be captured by the people from the north, but now look, what's going on in the north?

   Even Soochow, who was close to the big man, didn't respond. Some people even took this incident as a joke, saying that the big man could even make up such a thing in order to win the hearts of the people.

   A joke is a joke, Deng Zhi hopes that they will always treat this as a joke.

Thinking of this, Deng Zhi shook her head, and did not discuss this matter with Zhang Wen too much, but said, "Huishu, I will be returning to Dahan soon, this time, besides saying goodbye to you, there is one more thing I want to give to you." you."

"What?"

  Deng Zhi waved to the servant who was following far behind, and saw a servant walking quickly with something in his hands.

   Deng Zhi took the things from the servant, and waved his hand to let the servant go down.

   Then it was shaken off, and it turned out to be a thick piece of clothing.

   "After you and I returned to Wu, the prime minister heard about you and sent someone to bring it over. This is called a sweater. It is very warm to wear in winter."

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "The prime minister felt deeply regretful after hearing what happened to you, so he asked the people in Hanzhong to carefully make this garment. I heard that it is made of the finest and most downy hair, which is extremely rare. .”

   "Wu is cold and wet in winter, the prime minister said, this piece of clothing is just right for you to warm up."

   Zhang Wen's eyes became hot when he heard this.

   "But please ask Bo Miao to bring a message back to the prime minister, and say to thank the prime minister for the gift of clothes."

   "Zhi will definitely bring it, but before that, the prime minister has something else for me to pass on to you."

   "But I don't know what it is?"

  When Zhang Wen heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. Although he was deposed, even if he had resentment towards King Wu in his heart, he was still a minister of Wu and would never lose his integrity.

   "The Prime Minister said that Huishu is too pure and turbid, and that good and evil are too much, which is why this disaster is caused. Wu Wang is the master of understanding after all, and one day he will understand that this is the virtue of Huishu."

  When Zhang Wen heard it, he felt something was blocked in his throat, and he couldn't speak for a while.

  The prime minister knows himself well!

  I came back and told the king of Wu truthfully what the big man saw, and praised the beauty of the Shu government. Isn't it because the turbidity is clear about good and evil, and I want the king of Wu to manage the land of Wu better?

  Zhang Wen touched the clothes in his hands, and felt extremely soft and warm. In order to cover up his gaffe, he immediately changed the subject and said, "I don't know if this clothes are made of materials, but people can't tell."

  Deng Zhi smiled slightly, and said, "I'm afraid Huishu won't believe it, it's made of wool. But the wool is the softest and thinnest, and even a hundred sheep may not be able to save it."

   "How is it possible?" Zhang Wen exclaimed, holding up the clothes to have a look, "How can wool make this thing? Who has such an ingenious idea?"

   "I've heard of this person, Huishu. His surname is Feng, his first name is Yong, and his style name is Mingwen."

   "But Feng Langjun who wrote the magnificent novel "The Difficult Road to Shu"?"

   "Exactly."

   "Get off the three buses in the morning and evening, and send the book and newspaper home in advance. It is not far to meet each other until Changfengsha."

Zhang Wen read the last two sentences of "Long Qian Xing", with a very regretful expression on his face, "I wish I could meet such an outstanding young man. Bo Miao, I'm afraid I won't be able to send you to Changfengsha this time. "

   Changfengsha is in Wudi.
