Chapter 461: T-shaped volume finalizes the marriage,

  Chapter 461 The T-shaped scroll finalizes the marriage, "food" and "employment"

   "My nephew, Feng Ziying, has met my uncle." Feng Ziying bowed deeply to the end.

  This is the back hall of the Yamen in Dongchang Mansion. The environment is simple and quiet, and the style is simple and elegant, which is very in line with the atmosphere of the gentry and literati in the south of the Yangtze River.

   "Sit, Ziying." Shen Ping looked at the handsome and suave young man in front of him, feeling a little complicated.

   Qiao Yingjia's letter has been received, and he has even received the news.

  Feng Qin of Feng's parents' house was formally conferred the title of Marquis of Hulun, and the court also approved Feng Tang's request for his son and elder brother Feng Qin's long house to be granted the title.

   And Qiao Yingjia's meaning in the letter is also very clear. He wants his daughter to marry Feng's family and become the mistress of Feng's family, and maybe the son-in-law can directly inherit the title in the future.

  If it was another family, they might have been crazy about it, but for a scholarly family like the Shen family, they don't care much about it.

  Of course, if you want to say that you are not tempted at all, it is impossible. After all, no one can say that all of their children can be literary and elegant. The imperial examination high school, so a title that can maintain a family's wealth and well-being is still very precious. '

  Shen Pong was a little dissatisfied that his daughter might serve a husband with other women. Even though they were the same person in terms of patriarchal law, they belonged to two families in etiquette, but Shen Pong was also not very happy.

  How outstanding my daughter is, she is outstanding in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is worthy of any young handsome man in the world in Shen Xing's heart.

And this Feng Jia Dalang himself thought that he was a man of great talent and amazing talent, but later he gradually realized that this son is very ordinary in scriptures, and even mediocre in poetry and prose, but In terms of current policy theory, he can be called a genius.

  Such weird characters made him hesitate.

  Unexpectedly, the letter from his daughter was very optimistic about him, and also said that the other party did not understand poetry, but thought that poetry was a small way.

According to the daughter, the other party should be unwilling to put more energy on it, so he claimed that he did not understand poetry, so as not to increase his troubles, and attached a poem to the letter, which was written for the capital's Zhongzhaizi. The title of the painting.

   This poem surprised Shen Ping. If this poem was really written by the guy in front of him, who would dare to say that he doesn't understand poetry, then Shen Ping would really spit on him.

  Shen Ping also admitted that this guy is excellent.

Look at his posture in the imperial court that attracts everyone's attention. He is a second-class Jinshi, and he is selected as a scholar. The most dangerous path is the most prone to somersaults, but this son became famous instantly.

   Immediately afterwards came such a strategy of opening up the sea to raise debt. If the former still has some elements of luck, then the latter really needs to have considerable vision and attainments in the strategy of economical countries.

  Compiled from the sixth-rank Hanlin Academy, this is the treatment of the number one scholar, but it is only a year later than the number one, and it is more limelight than the second place in the list.

Thinking about how it took me more than 20 years to get to the position of the fourth rank, and it took only one year for this one to reach the position of the sixth rank in the Hanlin Academy. In a sense, Compiled by the Imperial Academy, this Cong Liu Rank is more promising and weighty than his deputy, Tongzhi.

   Non-Hanlin can’t join the cabinet. A Jinshi like myself who has never stayed in the Hanlin Academy can only work to the limit of six ministers, and it may even be difficult to make progress in positions such as assistant ministers and governors.

  But for Feng Ziying's age and experience, as long as no major mistakes are made, the position of a minister in the future is stable, and the possibility of entering the cabinet is extremely high.

   No wonder countless people are sighing with emotion.

   For such a son-in-law, it would be a lie to say that Shen Xing was not moved.

   What's more, my daughter also wrote a letter expressing her attitude, and my daughter has always been a very assertive person, and it is difficult to change what she believes.

  Since this is the case, Shen Xing also packed up other feelings and thoughts, and looked at and observed the other party with the standard of treating a prospective son-in-law.

   "How are Brother Chengfeng and Brother Rujun?"

  Shen Ping smiled, and the consideration in his eyes made Feng Ziying ponder.

"The two teachers are very good. Mr. Qi is busy with official duties every day, and he didn't see his nephew when he left. Mr. Qiao, although he is easy to handle in his new post, Mr. Qiao is careful and careful, and he has to take care of many things in person, so it's the same. I'm very busy,... my nephew also made an explanation before leaving,..., if there is no accident, the official documents of my uncle's Hulunhou's posthumous and concurrent ceremonies are still on the way..."

   Speaking in an orderly and detailed manner, Feng Ziying has no arrogance, and her words are also in a manner, which makes Shen Xing nod secretly.

  Young scholars are most afraid of arrogance and impetuosity. If there is a little achievement, they will be above the top, and they will not take their colleagues seriously. This is also a common problem of scholars who have studied for many years.

Feng Ziying has created a great reputation in the court in the past two years, and Shen Xing also guessed that he has also acquired some habits in this area. He originally planned to give some advice, but now it seems that this son seems to be more mature and prudent than his peers. , but without losing vigor.

   As for the expectations in my heart, Shen Xing had a higher opinion of Feng Ziying.

   It's no wonder Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia both regard him as a supporter. It's rare to find such a leading talent among the scholars in the North, especially if he has a broad mind, a broad vision, and doesn't have too many views from the sect, which is especially rare.

  Although Shen Ping is on good terms with Qiao Yingjia, he still doesn't agree with some of the Northern Scholars' mentality of sticking to the rules and overly regionalism, but it's related to their respective interests, and it's hard to change in a short time.

  However, up-and-coming scholars in the north like Feng Ziying can understand the mentality of southern scholars and take into account the interests of southern scholars, which Shen Xing really appreciates.

"Ziying, I have already read the letter from brother Ru Jun, and your father also sent a letter, so there is no need to repeat the previous details..., since this is the case, I will agree to this matter, please come to your family as soon as possible to make an appointment. ..."

  Shen Ping didn't care about the details as much as he imagined, which made Feng Ziying have a good impression of him. Thinking of the girl and Shen Zizheng, Feng Ziying also felt that this marriage was not as bad as he had feared at first.

   But this girl from the Shen family is famous for her talent, and her talent probably refers to poetry, poetry, calligraphy and painting. This directly points to her weakness, and she has to think about how to get along with her in the future.

After talking about the family affairs, Shen Xing talked about official affairs again: "Master Cui has already told me about the unblocking of the Linqing tribute bricks, and I have no objection, but the refugees from southern Shandong have to let us Dongchang take care of it. Although it is said that it is the righteousness of the ministers to share the worries of the king, in practice, I am afraid that we still have to think about it. If the refugees really go north, even if we start to prepare, the kiln may not be built well in three to five months. "If these refugees want to be resettled, it will cost money. I have already discussed this situation with Master Cui. He said that the imperial court will definitely make a unified arrangement, but my nephew also needs to remind Dongchang Mansion for us along the way." Master Cui, don't underestimate the problem here,..."

Feng Ziying recognized Shen Xing's lack of evasion, and Feng Ziying understood the character and style of the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty. When encountering troubles, she would either hide or procrastinate. If she couldn't get through it, she would bite the bullet To deal with it, those who are truly brave to do things are one in a hundred, and there are even fewer people who are responsible but have the ability to do things.

It is not easy to comment on Shen Xing's administrative ability and Feng Ziying. After all, he has no substantive contact with him, so it is not easy to comment. However, judging from Duan Xigui and Linqing's reviews, it is at least above-average level, not that simple scholars and literati.

  Think about it too, if it is a pure scholar and civil servant, how can Qiao Yingjia, who is very good at government affairs, like him? There are hundreds of Jinshi in one subject, and Qiao Yingjia is from Shanxi, and Shen Xing is from Suzhou. There is a gap between the north and the south, and they can still have some friendship. Naturally, they have something in common.

   "Uncle, don't worry, this matter is also suggested by my nephew, I will do my best to make this matter a satisfactory result." Feng Ziying nodded.

A satisfied smile appeared on Shen Yu's face, "Ziying, Master Cui also mentioned this matter to me, maybe he doesn't know about the relationship between you and me, but Master Cui is an honest person, and he didn't hide your credit. Urgently report to the imperial court, and it is expected to have a result soon. It is reasonable to say that this should not be a matter of my Dongchang Mansion, but the chaos in Yanzhou will definitely affect our Dongchang Mansion, and if we can take this opportunity to open the ban on tribute bricks For the people of Linqing, there can also be more ways to eat, that is, the laborers on the canal wharf, the boatmen who transport charcoal and tribute bricks, and the shipbuilding workshops all need more people. Master Cui is very right,..."

  Feng Ziying secretly smiled, this is also the industrial chain thinking that Feng Ziying instilled in Cui Jingrong.

  The prosperity of an industry will undoubtedly drive the expansion of an industrial chain.

For example, the main requirements for firing tribute bricks are two, charcoal (coal) and soil. The site selection of tribute brick kilns is basically suitable for the soil near the canal, and the coal needs to be transported through the canal. There are both local coal and southern coal. Coal from Yanzhou.

However, if the export scale of tribute bricks grows geometrically, the demand for coal will inevitably increase. Whether it is local or overseas, from mining to transportation to loading and unloading, there will also be a huge increase in the demand for ships for the export of coal and tribute bricks. This series will bring "employment" jobs to the refugees in Linqing and those who may come from southern Shandong in the future.

   The word "employment" is very new, obviously a new coinage, but if it corresponds to "eating", it will not seem obtrusive.

  Feng Ziying and Cui Jingrong patiently discussed that it is better to let the refugees "employ" instead of "eating" everywhere.

  "Employment" means finding a job that can feed their stomachs, and then they can rely on their own labor to earn money and solve problems for the family.
