Chapter 461 T-Zi Juan finalizes the marriage, "eating" and "employment"

“My nephew Feng Ziying has met my uncle.” Feng Ziying bowed deeply to the end.

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

"Sit down, Ziying." Shen Jue looked at the handsome young man in front of him with a complicated mood.

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

Feng Qin, the eldest son of Feng's eldest son, was officially posthumously named Marquis of Hulun, and the court also approved Feng Tang's request for his son to take up the title of eldest son of his brother Feng Qin and to assume the title.

And Qiao Yingjia's intention in the letter was also very clear. He wanted his daughter to marry Feng's family and become the matron of Feng's family. It is possible that the legitimate son could directly ascend the throne in the future.

 In other families, they might have gone crazy with joy, but for a scholarly family like the Shen family, they don't really care about this.

Of course, it is impossible for you to say that you are not tempted at all. After all, no one can say that all the children they give birth to will be talented in literature and high school, so a title that can maintain the wealth and well-being of a family is still very precious. ’

Shen Jue was a little dissatisfied that his daughter might share the same husband with another woman. Even though according to the patriarchal laws, although they were the same person, they belonged to two couples according to the etiquette, but Shen Jue was not very happy either.

His daughter is so outstanding. She is outstanding in all aspects of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. In Shen Jun's heart, she is worthy of any young talent in the world.

The Feng family man had previously thought that he was a man of extraordinary talent and astonishing talent, but later he gradually learned that this man was average in classics and meaning, and could even be said to be mediocre in terms of poetry and prose. But he is a genius in terms of current policy theory.

 Such a strange person made him hesitate.

Unexpectedly, my daughter wrote a letter that was very favorable to him, and she also said that the other party did not understand poetry, but thought poetry was a minor path.

According to my daughter, the other party probably didn't want to put more energy into this, so he claimed that he didn't understand poetry, so as not to cause more troubles. He also attached a poem to the letter, which is "In the Zhongzhai of the Capital". That painting is titled.

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

Shen Jue also admitted that this guy is excellent.

Look at his much-anticipated posture in the court. He is a second-class Jinshi and a common scholar. That's it. He went to the west to suppress the rebellion and made great contributions. You must know that military service is the easiest way to be promoted. But often The more dangerous the path, the easier it is to fall into somersaults, but this boy became famous instantly.

Then came another strategy for opening up the sea and borrowing money. If the former involves some luck, then the latter really requires considerable vision and attainments in the strategy of economic development.

Compiled from the Sixth Rank Hanlin Academy, this is the treatment of the number one scholar, just one year later than the number one scholar, and it is more popular than the top two.

Thinking about it, it took me more than 20 years to reach a fourth rank position, and it only took this person one year to reach the Hanlin Academy to compile such a noble sixth rank position. In a sense, The sixth grade of the Hanlin Academy's compilation has more prospects and weight than the fifth grade of his deputy Tongzhi.

Fei Hanlin cannot enter the cabinet. Scholars who have not stayed in the Hanlin Academy like you can only do the limit of six Shangshi books, and it may even be difficult to have an incoming entry in the position of the servant of the waiter.

 But for Feng Ziying's age and resume, as long as she doesn't make big mistakes, her position as a minister will be stable in the future, and she is highly likely to join the cabinet.

No wonder countless people are sighing and sighing.

 It would be a lie to say that Shen Jue is not moved by such a son-in-law.

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

In this case, Shen Jue put aside other sentiments and began to look at the other person as he would treat a prospective son-in-law.

“How are Brother Chengfeng and Brother Rujun doing?”

Shen Jue was smiling, and the consideration in her eyes made Feng Ziying think about it.

"Both teachers are very good. Qi Gong is busy with official duties every day, and he didn't get to see his nephew when he left. Although Qiao Gong took up his new job with ease, Qiao Gong has a cautious temperament and has to personally deal with many things, so it's the same I am extremely busy..., before my nephew left, he also made an explanation..., if there is no accident, the official document of the Ministry of Rites and the posthumous title of the Marquis of Hulun, my uncle, has still been issued..."

Feng Ziying spoke in an orderly and detailed manner, with no arrogance at all, and her words were in a formal manner, which made Shen Jue nod secretly.

Young scholars are most afraid of being arrogant and impetuous. They will put their achievements above their head and ignore their colleagues. This is also a common problem among scholars who have been studying for many years.

Feng Ziying has created such a great reputation in the court in the past two years. Shen Jue also estimated that he had contracted some of these habits. He originally planned to give some advice, but now it seems that this person seems to be far more mature and steady than his peers. , but without losing spirit.

With a feeling of hope in his heart, Shen Jue had a higher opinion of Feng Ziying.

 No wonder Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia both regarded him as a top talent. It is rare to find such an outstanding talent among northern scholars, especially one who has broad ideas, broad vision, and does not have too many scholastic views. This is especially rare.

Although Shen Jue is friendly with Qiao Yingjia, he still does not agree with the rigidity and excessive regionalism of some northern scholars. However, it is related to their respective interests and it is difficult to change for a while.

But rising stars like Feng Ziying, a northern scholar, could understand the mentality of southern scholars and take into account the interests of southern scholars, which Shen Jue admired very much.

"Ziying, I have read Brother Rujun's letter, and your father has also written. There is no need to go into details about the previous ones... In that case, I will agree to this matter. Please come to your family as soon as possible to propose a marriage proposal. …”

Shen Jue did not care about details as much as expected, which made Feng Ziying have a good impression of him. Thinking of the girl and Shen Zizheng, Feng Ziying felt that the marriage was not as bad as she initially feared.

It is true that this girl from the Shen family has a reputation for talent, and this talent probably refers to poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting. This is a direct reference to her own weakness, and she will have to think carefully about how to get along with her in the future.

After talking about family affairs, Shen Jue talked about official affairs again: "Master Cui has told me before about the unblocking of Linqing tribute bricks. I have no objection, but the refugees in southern Shandong have to be borne by us in Dongchang. Although it is said that it is the duty of ministers to share the worries of the king, but in reality, I am afraid that it still needs to be carefully considered. If these refugees really go north, even if we start to make preparations, the kiln will not be built in three to five months. , if these refugees want to be resettled, they will also need to spend money. I have negotiated with Mr. Cui about this situation. He said that the court will definitely make a unified arrangement, but my nephew also needs to remind us Dongchang Mansion along the way. Mr. Cui, don’t underestimate the problems here,..."

Feng Ziying recognized Shen Jue's non-passing of blame. Feng Ziying also understood the character and style of the officials in the Zhou Dynasty. When they encountered troubles, they either avoided or delayed them. Only when they really couldn't stand it, did they bite the bullet. To deal with it, only one person out of a hundred is really brave enough to serve, and there are even fewer people who are responsible but have the ability to do things.

Feng Ziying can't comment on Shen Jue's administrative ability. After all, he has no substantial contact with her, so it's not easy to comment. However, judging from the reviews from Duan Xigui and Linqing, it is at least above average, not that simple. Scholars and literati.

Thinking about it, if he is a simple scholar and civil servant, how can he be attracted by a figure like Qiao Yingjia who is very good at government affairs? There are hundreds of Jinshi in one subject, and Qiao Yingjia is from Shanxi and Shen Jue is from Suzhou. They are separated from each other by the north and the south, but they can still have some friendship, so naturally they have something in common.

“Uncle, don’t worry, this matter was also proposed by my nephew. I should do my best to ensure that this matter has a successful outcome.” Feng Ziying nodded.

A satisfied smile appeared on Shen Jue's face, "Ziying, Mr. Cui also mentioned this to me. Maybe he doesn't know about the relationship between you and me, but Mr. Cui is an honest man and has not concealed your contribution. He has already Report to the court urgently, and the result is expected soon. Logically speaking, this should not be a matter of our 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 is also one more way to eat, that is, the laborers on the canal docks, the boatmen transporting coal and tribute bricks, and the shipbuilding workshops all need to have more people. Master Cui is very right,..."

 Feng Ziying smiled secretly in her heart. This was also the industrial chain thinking that Feng Ziying instilled in Cui Jingrong.

 The boom of an industry will undoubtedly lead to the expansion of an industrial chain.

For example, the main requirements for firing tribute bricks are two kinds, pebbles (coal) and soil. The location of the tribute brick kiln is basically close to the canal where the soil is suitable, and the pebbles need to be transported through the canals, both local pebbles and from the south. Coal from Yanzhou.

If the export scale of tribute bricks increases exponentially, the demand for coal will inevitably increase significantly. Whether it is local or foreign, from mining to transportation to loading and unloading, there will also be a huge demand for ships due to the sudden increase in the export of coal and tribute bricks. This series will bring "employment" positions to Linqing locals and refugees who may come to Lunan in the future.

 The word "employment" is very new. It is obviously a newly coined word, but if it corresponds to "eating", it will not seem awkward.

 Feng Ziying and Cui Jingrong patiently discussed that instead of letting the refugees "eat" everywhere, it would be better to "employ" them.

 “Employment” means finding a job that can make a living, and then they can use their own labor to earn money to support their family and solve problems.
