Tang Shunzhi's reputation in the southeast does not need to be repeated, and it is understandable that Hou Ruliang is so urgent. Even when he participated in the 17th year of Jiajing examination, Tang Shunzhi took office as the examiner. Although he was not a room teacher, he also had a connection.

In the county yard, Hou Ruliang paced back and forth, and saw an old man coming out of the backyard from the corner of his eye. He was about to rush over, but a middle-aged man had already asked first: "How about Yang Yu Brother?"

The old man didn't speak, he just tilted his head slightly.

Mao Kun, who had just arrived in Hangzhou Prefecture, looked pale, "Brother Yixiu..."

For Mao Kun, Tang Shunzhi's life and death are likely to be related to Suiyuan's control over Southeast Tong's business. He has retired now and if he dies...

Hou Ruliang felt a little relieved when he saw Mao Kun's face, but then he raised his heart again and felt a headache when he held his forehead with his hand.

As a great scholar, Tang Shunzhi made great contributions to the country and died on his way to retire... This is not a big deal.

Well, it can be considered a big deal, but death itself cannot have any impact.

But if Xu Jie's disciple forcibly robbed the power of trade and expelled Tang Shunzhi... it would be unpleasant.

Since Zhejiang established a city to trade, many people have been grateful. The first target is Qian Longquan and the second target is Tang Jingchuan.

Hou Ruliang, who witnessed Suiyuan fighting with Xu Ying, the second son of the Xu family in Beijing at the end of the year before yesterday, thought to himself that if Qian Zhancai was in Zhejiang now, he would have been afraid that he would have already picked up a steel knife and led the Qian family guards to Zhenhai.

Well, although Qian Zhancai is still in Beijing, Sun Ying is in Zhejiang... When Suiyuan was in trouble with six subjects, Sun Wen and a punch broke Hu Yingjia's nose, which was also considered famous.

"Mr. Lu, is Mr. Jingchuan awake?" Hou Ruliang asked in a low voice.

The old man nodded, "I have woken up and taken two doses of medicine, but it doesn't work very well."

This old man was Lu Yue, a famous doctor during the Jiajing period. His courtesy name was Yangyu. He was from Wucheng, Huzhou Prefecture. He was a scholar when he was young. After passing the imperial examination, he failed the provincial examination in three provinces. He turned to medical practice. After decades, he was well-known in Jiangnan and was far away from Fujian and Guangdong. He had a close relationship with Mao Kun.

Seeing Hou Ruliang hesitate, Lu Yue whispered: "It's not more than a month long, so you can't move it lightly."

In the backyard of the county government office not far away, there were three or two rooms in the middle, surrounded by vegetable fields. Hai Rui stood at the door with a heavy face and a sad look.

He gently pushed open the door, Hai Rui changed his expression and said with a smile: "Hai also heard of Lu Yangyu's reputation in Qiongzhou back then, and he would definitely get rid of his illness."

Tang Shunzhi leaned against the bedside, but still smiled, "Why do you have to say anything in vain? Everyone is afraid of death. Tang is also an ordinary person, but..."

"It's just what?"

"I still have regrets." Tang Shunzhi tried hard to support his body, but he still couldn't sit up and said with a wry smile: "When Tang lived in the countryside, lived in thatched hut, and slept in the door panel. He did not wave the fan in summer, and did not make fire in winter..."

Hai Rui praised: "Jingchuan Gong has great courage."

Tang Shunzhi smiled, "I just blamed you for this a few years..."

"What does he know!" Hai Rui frowned.

"Get rid of human desires and hear conscience..." Tang Shunzhi's expression was complicated, "Forget it, forgot."

Tang Shunzhi was so harsh to himself like an ascetic monk, just to get rid of the temptation of desire and practice. Qian Yuan scoffed at this, and doing this would be useless for the country, and for himself... he could only die early, and he was useless.

Tang Shunzhi also scoffed at Qian Yuan's attitude, but when things came to an end, he was a little regretful... He did not regret what he did back then, but regretted that he did not live for a longer period of time, and could see the young man far away more clearly, and regretted that he could not witness what changes it would bring to this country after the official opening of the sea ban.

"I just asked Yang Yu that he should not be moved. It seems that he is going to die in a foreign land." Tang Shunzhi said lightly: "When will my son arrive?"

"I sent a letter to Nanjing yesterday afternoon. If it goes well, I should be able to arrive within five days."

Tang Shunzhi's son Tang Hezheng is now in the Imperial College in Beijing.

After a silence in the room, Tang Shunzhi looked at the roof with his head raised and suddenly asked, "Gangfeng, who is Zhancai?"

Hai Rui thought for a moment, "I made great contributions to attacking the Japanese and communicating business, but I also had flaws. I was afraid of being troubled by Wang Zhi. I was talking about business in the southeast, and the same was true for literati and poets."

"I had to do it, otherwise the Japanese will be in trouble until now." Tang Shunzhi suddenly coughed violently for a while before continuing: "Business... There is no silver in the court, how to control yellow flora? If there is natural disaster, how to provide disaster relief. Altan goes south, where will the military pay come?"

After pausing and taking a breath, Tang Shunzhi said softly: "There has been a nearly two hundred years of development, and land annexation is like this, and business is actually a road."

Seeing Hai Rui's stubbornness between his eyebrows, Tang Shunzhi sighed, "Wu Chengqi, after returning home for 35 years of Jiajing, Dingyou returned home, and was invited by Hu Ruzhen to take over the love and regain his love. Changshui Town, Tongxiang and Shangyu won several great victories, and all of them had military achievements."

Hai Rui knew that although this person was a scholar of Confucianism when he was young, he had no fame and fame. He entered the officialdom with military merits and praised his merits in the southeast, and had a great relationship with Qian Yuan. However, he was also Hu Ruzhen's hometown party.

"Later, Qian Zhan set up a city in Zhenhai to trade, and he intended to recommend Wu Chengqi as the Ningbo Promoter... It's been four years in a flash, and it's time to return home to mourn..."

Tang Shunzhi turned his head and looked at Hai Rui, "Han Ji An, Song Bao Zheng, if Gangfeng has such a direction, I will not say more."

Hai Rui bowed solemnly, "Please give advice from Mr. Jingchuan."

"Zhan Cai once said in his letter that Gangfeng can be proud of frost and snow but not pillars." Tang Shunzhi shook his head and said, "But in my opinion, Gangfeng is not a pedantic person."

Hai Rui narrowed his eyes and recalled the young man. This evaluation was too sarcastic and mean, but it was very consistent with that person's tone.

After a while in the room, Tang Shunzhi waved his hand and said, "The official of the government is in charge of punishment, but the official of Ningbo is the most powerful."

"The maritime businessman who is dominant with force, a family with wide connections, a noble family with prominent families, and nobles who live with the country..."

"If you don't have strong character, you will not be able to take this position."

After staring at Hai Rui for a long time, Tang Shunzhi whispered: "You need to use the strong strength of the Gangfeng."

After Hai Rui was silent for a moment, he bowed again, "Don't hesitate to this."

Tang Shunzhi's appreciation of Hai Rui is special. He once carefully commented on a series of actions that shocked his colleagues after Hai Rui became an official.

Everyone in the world knows that the public is born with integrity and power, but only Haigangfeng can do it in the world.

Hai Rui’s popularity... Well, he has no popularity at all. Logically speaking, he should have gotten out of here, but he still hasn’t fallen. His boss is in awe, his colleagues are in awe, and his subordinates are in awe...

If Hai Rui could serve as the Ningbo Promoter, his strong character, honest style, strict enforcement of the law, etc. would definitely play a role.

The most important thing is that Tang Shunzhi could vaguely feel that although Qian Yuan disdained Hai Rui, he also had a sense of awe of him.

He has been with Qian Yuan for nearly eight years. Tang Shunzhi knows very well who he is. In Qian Yuan's mind, there are very few people who can be respected by him.
