Chapter 203 Visiting the door to ask for evidence (1)
Cai Shu was originally the son of Cai Jing, and Wang was Wang Anshi's daughter. Earlier, Wang Anshi was the prime minister. Wang had not given birth to a child for several years, and Cai Bian did not dare to take a concubine easily, so he adopted one of Cai Jing's sons and changed his name to Cai Gan.
Wang is quite talented, and Cai Shu has been an official in the court for many years. Hearing Cai Bian's obvious nonsense and persuasion mixed with some anger, he was determined and wanted to persuade him, but he saw that the shameless old man turned over and was unwilling to explain.
Wang sighed in his heart and said, "I don't ask the master the reason, but this matter is really difficult to achieve. What Jae did really makes it difficult for the civil and military ministers of the court to refuse..."
Cai Bian suddenly turned over and said angrily: "What do you know? If Jae wants to use Nanyang to open up foreign sources, it is indeed beneficial to the world. Is it possible to be more important and honest old ministers? Can't they go there? Are all the officials in the court full of wine and food, and they have to stay in the countless dangerous Nanyang? You don't know what Jae does at all? You don't know what Jae means to the Great Song Kingdom? And you don't know what will happen ten years later?"
Cai Shu was about to step forward. Wang reached out to stop him. Looking at Cai Bian, who looked annoyed and turned over to the wall again, his brows frowned slightly, his eyes full of doubts.
Wang stood up and sat on the head of the bed, reached out and pressed his hand on Cai Bian's shoulder, and said, "Ten years later? What is your husband hiding? Can't even tell me and my uncle?"
Cai Bian was silent for a moment...
"Don't ask Qi Niang, you just need to try to keep Jae in the capital. Once... Once Bian goes first, you must give Jae as much help as possible, and do your best to help him, but! You must keep him in Tokyo!"
Cai Bian did not turn around, but his tone was extremely firm.
"Wan'er is now in Mayi Kingdom. The court has re-developed a contract, so she must let Mei Niang go to the capital. Bian wants to meet Mei Niang."
...
Wang frowned and said nothing. Cai Shu stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Father thought he could guess that according to the court's laws, it is impossible for the Nanyang Protectorate to give him such a baby. However, the official still agreed. It would be difficult for his father to force his fifth brother to stay.
...
The house fell into strange silence again, and Cai Bian's brows furrowed, and he felt very regretful, regretting that he had not been able to force his way through land that day. If it weren't for this, there wouldn't be such an accident as a sea dog attack.
Cai Bian turned over and looked up at the wooden board on the roof, recalling Cai Huang in his mind, thinking about everything that happened recently...
"Ya'er is the smartest child in my Cai family. If you take action, you will be in a cage. You are the best at seizing every opportunity. You are very long-term. You are calm and determined. You are the most suitable for the indecisive prince to accompany you. First, you buy salt bass in Huainan, then the matter of silk and brocade. Today, it is Nanyang again. Liuqiu Island. All this is the case. The court will be fine. If there is a disaster that will lead to the heavens, only those who are so smart can bear it. Therefore...Ya'er must become the prince consort and must stay by the prince's side as an auxiliary minister!"
Cai Shu frowned even more and more, and he was very reluctant to send the talented Cai family into the palace, especially the guardian, who was almost like the guardian of the king of the same place.
Wang looked at his calm husband and suddenly said, "My husband means that there will be a major disaster in our dynasty ten years? Natural disaster... This is impossible. No one will calculate that ten years later, the official family is in the prime of spring and autumn. Even if the prince is by his side, even if there is a disaster, he should be borne by the officials and civil and military officials. How can he let a baby be..."
Wang was suddenly shocked and looked at Cai Bian who also looked horrified.
Cai Bian looked solemn and shook his head, "Not to say, no question. Qi Niang just needs to try to force Jae back to Beijing no matter what, and let him stay with the prince's side honestly no matter what."
Wang opened his mouth and wanted to ask what happened. Seeing his determination, he could only nod and agree silently. Cai Shu, who was beside him, looked at his father lying on the bed in horror. He could never have thought that he would become like this.
Cai Bian did not say everything, and did not say what kind of natural disaster would happen. Wang and Cai Shu had some general guesses in his heart.
The official Zhao Ji was in the prime of Spring and Autumn Period, and liked food and football. The children were one after another, and they were very good at health. No matter how you looked, they didn't look like they had only ten years of life. Cai Yan stayed with the prince. As Wang said, even if there was something big about the court, it was not the turn of two little kids to worry about. It only means one thing...
Wang didn't know what Cai Bian knew, so he was so worried that he could not see any signs of crisis in the court, but he still chose to believe it.
Wang, Wang Qiniang, and Wang Anshi's daughter, with this kind of relationship, many old reformists have to give some face, even more terrifying than Cai Bian's energy, but when they think of millions of taels of gold, they sighed in their hearts.
Millions of taels of gold were spreading, and major managers came to visit, hoping to get the exact news from Su Mei. Not only Hairui Business, but also Su He Business Managers, but also many merchants from Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce visited. Just when Wang and Cai Shu arrived, the hall of Cai Mansion was full of anxiously waiting for Su Mei to appear.
Su Mei was frowning and silent in the study. She was not only her in the study, but also Boss Su, Yao Zhongjiao, and one-armed Sun Er who came overnight.
Su Mei looked at the three men with a serious expression and said, "The three uncles have experienced countless dangers. When we know what millions of taels of gold mean, it is wealth and a disaster. The court will not allow us to take it for ourselves no matter what."
Boss Su clasped his fists and said, "Miss is saying that my subordinates did not come to covet millions of taels of gold, but just wanted to know if there is really gold in Liuqiu Island?"
Su Mei looked at Yao Zhongjiao and Sun Er who was silently nodding, and said, "There is a piece of dog-headed gold in the study, and Mei Niang has asked someone to go to investigate. According to the amount of gold in the river sand, it will not be less than five million taels of gold, and even more, and there will be more copper."
The three of them suddenly took a breath of air conditioning. Although the three of them had long been sure that they could not covet gold, they still couldn't help but sucked in air conditioning after hearing the "five million taels".
Su Mei said: "Liuqiu Island gold cannot be kept no matter what, but millions of taels of gold are gold and silver. If the imperial court wants to get it openly, it has to pay some price. Two million guan of silver is one, and the Nanyang Protectorate is the second. These are not enough. According to what the child thinks, Liuqiu Island should be the fragrance of fruits and fruits, and countless wealthy islands of fertile fields. These all require people to climb the island. Gold is one, and the remaining mineral deposits are the second. Golden Gourd Stone gold can be given to the court, and the other mineral veins are sent to attract more people to the island."
Sun Er exchanged glances with the two of them and nodded, "The young master is very considerate. Not to mention the matter of Liuqiu Island, the young master serves as the Nanyang Protectorate. We have little benefits. But... Once we develop the desolate Nanyang, we need too much money. Liuqiu Island has gold to retain people to farm, so what should we do if Nanyang?"
Su Mei stood up and smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Sun, my son has his own method. Although he sent the Golden Gourd Stone Gold Mine to the court, there is still another copper mine on Liuqiu Island. It's enough for us to use it for a while. Many managers come and the merchants come, and the three uncles will meet together."
