075 Unusual breath
"I think this plan is feasible." Xu Jie thought for a while and finally said calmly.
Standing at Xu Jie's position, whether a plan is good or not is the key to see what benefits this plan has to the country and what benefits it is for oneself. If it is done in both ways, that is really good.
It sounds absurd and ridiculous when looking for a student with a schoolboy from the people, but when he thinks of Long Qing's timid and unyielding appearance, Xu Jie is a little discouraged. A wise king must be wise and powerful. If King Yu was born in an ordinary family, he would be a good filial son, but if he was born in an imperial family, he would be destined to be better than others.
Xu Jie knew very well that the character of King Yu Zhu Zai's King was related to the environment he was in. First, his mother was Du Kang Concubine who Jiajing did not like, and was the last of the nine concubines. His mother was not favored, and his son was naturally not valued. Because of the paradox that Tao Zhongwen and the other two dragons did not meet each other, Jiajing later ignored Zhu Zai's brothers and finally survived until the death of the two emperors, but faced various challenges from his brother King Jing. He lived in fear under the shadow of Jiajing, and finally developed a submissive personality.
Gao Gong, Xu Jie and others had long noticed this situation and also guided King Yu in a targeted manner, including finding knowledgeable people to drive him, but the effect was not good. Finding talented people from the people is not a way. The most important thing is that Gao Gong has become increasingly different from himself, but King Yu trusts Gao Gong very much.
Gao Gong served as a lecturer for King Yu in the 31st year of Jiajing. He left Prince Yu's mansion for 40 years. He taught King Yu for nine years. Gao Gong, who had no son, regarded King Yu as his son and used his wisdom to protect King Yu in the 3rd house. He left the chaos outside. Prince Yu's mansion was safe and sound and survived safely. King Yu, who had lacked fatherly love since childhood, also regarded Gao Gong as his father and obeyed Gao Gong's words. Even after Gao Gong left Prince Yu's mansion, he often wrote letters and rewarded him.
This is a very bad sign. Xu Jie knew that he could no longer sit and wait for death, so he quickly recommended his respected disciple Zhang Juzheng to King Yu to prepare for his future favor.
Zhang Juzheng's method may be able to divert King Yu's attention from Gao Gong, and Xu Jie quickly agreed to the disciple's idea.
If the emperor has more people around him in the future, it will not be a bad thing.
"Thank you, Master." Zhang Juzheng immediately bowed.
"But" Xu Jie changed his voice and said lightly: "The royal family is not as good as the people. There are always controversies among children accompanying the school. Those censors like to make small things bigger. Uncle, just find a free job for them in the mansion, and there should not be too many people to avoid increasing right and wrong."
"It's better that the teacher thinks carefully, and the students will do it."
At this time, Zhang Juzheng's career was just beginning and he was not yet full of strength, so he was very respectful to Xu Jie.
Towering trees grow in the dark, vast oceans gather in the streams, heroes and heroes are born in the grassroots, and Zhang Juzheng's mentality has always been very positive.
After leaving the Xu Mansion, Zhang Juzheng, who had not yet taken office, had decided to find a few trusted colleagues after the New Year to find some smart and agile young talents for King Yu, and use subtle methods to make King Yu better.
This is a rare opportunity. Zhang Juzheng secretly made up his mind and must grasp it well. Whether he can show his ambitions is the first step to take.
Jiajing's health is getting worse, King Yu is weak, King Jing is giving up, and Xu Jie is also planning to give Yan Song a fatal blow. For a moment, the sky above the capital is full of clouds, and the New Year is coming, and the festive atmosphere is also filled with a hint of desolation.
The disputes between the court are the big shots, and Yu Jin is just a small shot. He is a small shot, so he naturally has no such troubles.
I celebrate the New Year happily. Taking advantage of the lively New Year, Yu Jin took my mother and younger sister to wander around. For the convenience of transportation, Yu Jin also bought a carriage and resolutely became a "carriage-owned" person. Anyway, I don't have to go anywhere, so I can't walk around. It's much more convenient to have a carriage.
The only shame is that I can't find a suitable slave.
There were many slavery in the Ming Dynasty, and there were three main sources: one was the prisoners of war captured, the second was the family members of criminal officials, and the third was the family gave birth to children, also known as family slaves, which were descendants of slaves. They were all enrolled in slavery and would never be able to turn over. Although the government said that they could not buy good people as slaves, there were a large number of people who sold children and daughters every year because they could not continue to live. Some even sold themselves, and they were repeatedly banned.
The Ming Dynasty ruled that one hundred cows were killed, and one hundred and seven slaves in the family were killed. The personality of slaves was similar to that of cows, so many landlords and wealthy businessmen had a large number of slaves. Yu Jin now had no land, no land, no shops, so he wanted to find a few maids to protect the yard, and it would be better to find another coachman.
Xiucai, this is a decent person, you can't drive the horses by yourself, and hiring people to drive the car every day is not a solution.
While playing, I tried my best to decorate my own comfort zone. I also went to Zhao's mansion to hug Zhao Jin's thighs, and my life was relaxed and happy.
It has to be said that some carpenters in the Ming Dynasty were not only exquisite in handwork, but also very efficient. On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Carpenter Zheng sent his apprentice to the door again, saying that all the furniture customized by Yu Jin had been completed, so he asked Yu Jin to inspect it.
When he arrived at the carpenter's shop, Yu Jin found that the Carpenter Zheng, who was over 50 years old, was still as honest as ever.
"Mr. Yu, you're here. Look, this set is a big round mahogany table with eight stools on it. All the woods are made of high-quality wood. If Mr. Yu finds an insect eye, you can smash my signature."
"This bookshelves is really unconventional. The young man made of camphor wood as the young master ordered. Camphor has the effect of deworming insects, so that he will not be afraid of cordyceps robbing the books of Xianggong Yu."
"The carved bed is made of Huanghuali, which is treasured by our store. Eighteen paintings are carved on it. To be honest, the eighteen wood carvings are not small, but a few colleagues carved. Two of them are my senior brothers. The craftsmanship is not bad. I can't find a better one in Yuyao Yu Gong."
Carpenter Zheng introduced and explained in a nagging manner. Yu Jin nodded repeatedly while watching.
Yes, the quality is excellent, Yu Jin is very satisfied with these furniture.
"Uncle Zheng, your skills are indeed good," Yu Jin said generously: "Then the wages are only a little higher and lower. In addition, I am also planning to change a batch of window flowers. It seems that I will be troubled by Uncle Zheng again."
As a store owner, when he saw that there was a business coming, he naturally smiled and thanked him repeatedly. However, when Zheng Chengjiang heard this, he said with a wry smile: "Good Master Yu, please ask Gao Ming for these window flowers. I am afraid that I can't do Yu's business anymore."
"Is it a price problem? Don't worry, this wage will never be unfair to Uncle Zheng, the price is easy to say." Yu Jin thought that Carpenter Zheng wanted to take the opportunity to raise the price, so he said without hesitation.
Zheng Carpenter has good craftsmanship, strong sense of responsibility, and honesty in doing things. In addition, he made great concessions in the price before, even if he added money, Yu Jin still felt it was worth it.
"No, no, no, Mr. Yu misunderstood." Zheng Carpenter explained immediately: "The young one is not a person who is tempted by money. In fact, Mr. Yu settles easily. The designed furniture is wonderful and can also get a lot of benefits from it. However, the young one is going to work in Fujian and has already agreed to the master's house, so..."
Yu Jin was even more surprised and asked strangely: "Uncle Zheng is from Yuyao. He has a family business in Yuyao, and his shop business is not bad. How can he go to Fujian to make a living?"
Carpenter Zheng hesitated for a moment and said with a wry smile: "This is because he used to owe a favor debt, and the second is that the salary is also high, so he decided to go to Fujian."
Run to Fujian?
Yu Jin said casually: "It's not like building a sea boat when I run to Fujian."
"Where... there is no, Mr. Yu, don't joke. The little one is just a little work." Carpenter Zheng's face changed and he said a little squeakingly.
Hey, really got it?
They are all locals in Yuyao, and most of them are well-known. Yu Jin knew that Carpenter Zheng had his own ancestral seaship technology. He just joked about it near the coast of Fujian, but he didn't expect Carpenter Zheng to react so much.
Carpenter Zheng is a honest person. He devotes himself to carpenter work and is not good at lying. He can try it out as soon as he tries. Besides, there are no carpenters in those small jobs, so why do you need Carpenter Zheng to run over from a long distance?
Not to mention the trouble, the fare from Yuyao to Fujian is quite high, and this time I set off, I was also given a road guide from the government.
Yu Jin suddenly smelled an unusual aura, and his heart suddenly became active...
