Where does the fifty-eighth chapter of the Geng character scroll come from?
Feng Ziying didn't know how to respond to Wei Ruolan's topic for a moment.
It was the first time he discovered that Wei Ruolan, who was so well-born, was actually so mentally retarded and childish beneath his skin. Han Qi had already reminded him, but he was still talking arrogantly here. Didn't he understand the difference between inside and outside?
Or do you really think that Su Miao is his confidante?
But it was not good not to respond in this situation. Feng Ziying could only say in an understatement: "Isn't it normal for the naval fleet to build ships? Japanese pirate attacks and future transactions with Liaodong will inevitably use ships. What's the fuss about this?
? Besides, this is not something that can be achieved overnight. With the financial resources of the imperial court, it would be considered good to see results after ten or eight years."
"So Wang Ziteng is not happy. He, the governor of Denglai, can still be the governor of Denglai in ten or eight years?" Wei Ruolan said cheerfully: "So you have offended Wang Ziteng."
"If you offend me, I'll offend you. I'm not a military attache. How can he still not let me be a co-president of Yongping Mansion?" Feng Ziying said calmly: "Okay, Ruolan, it's the Su family who are performing for us today, we still
Let’s talk about some romantic things.”
Su Miao's pretty eyes turned, "Master Feng, I really like to hear Mr. Wei discuss the national economy, people's livelihood and court affairs with you. Now our country seems to be peaceful and the people are safe, but there are still things happening in many places. Why are the Mongolians so abrupt?
The earthquake is coming to the capital. Is it possible that the defenses on the nine sides are so fragile? We, the people of the south of the Yangtze River, bear such heavy taxes every year, and grain and cloth are constantly transported to the northern border, but in exchange for this situation? "
Su Miao's words made Wei Ruolan and Han Qi present a little unhappy. On the contrary, Feng Ziying felt that there was a deep meaning in them. Does it really represent the public opinion of the people and merchants in Jiangnan, or is it an instigation with ulterior motives? If it is a provocation, the question
The three of you present here are all representatives of the officials and gentry in the North. Who can you provoke?
Or is it just a test?
He really couldn't understand this woman.
It is certain that this woman is not just a geisha with extraordinary talents and beauty as outsiders imagine. However, among the officials and gentry of this era, no one has this awareness and will all consciously feel that she is just a geisha.
What could be the big deal?
But which side will be behind this woman?
Feng Ziying thought about it for a while and felt that it didn't look like it there. Could it really be just a test sent by the Jiangnan gentry? But why is there any need to do this?
After quickly going through a circle in his mind, Feng Ziying still couldn't figure out the origin of this woman. It was possible for either side, but neither side thought it was possible.
"The Su family and the soldiers of Jiubian have shouldered the heavy responsibility of defending from the Mongols to the Jurchens. In the past few decades, our northern men have fought successively and paid the price of thousands of lives. It is precisely because of their protection
, so that places including Jiangnan and Huguang can live and work in peace and contentment. Does Jiangnan really want to return to the Mongolian and Yuan era and become the lowest level of 'southern people'?"
Han Qiyi's stern words changed the atmosphere in the entire venue, and even Wei Ruolan's previously smiling face softened a lot.
Su Miao was also surprised. She didn't expect that this topic would arouse such anger from them. This was something she had not expected.
Having been in the capital for so long, the officials and gentry she came into contact with were all immersed in a pampered and comfortable life. However, when the Mongols broke through the border wall and entered the hinterland of Shuntian Prefecture and Yongping Prefecture, these people were panicked and frightened.
Like quail rustling in the cold wind, many people have even begun planning to flee south.
Fortunately, Xiao Feng Xiu Zhuan's blocking battle at the gate of Qian'an City seemed to have boosted the spirit of the scholars in the capital city, and they began to regain their energy in the past few days.
Just like the Wei Ruolan and Han Qi in front of her, Su Miaozhen didn't see what was worth seeing in such a young master after being in contact with him for so long. He wandered around all day long, failed to study in the Imperial College, and neither became an official nor a scholar.
There are many people in the capital who do not engage in business or farming.
It’s no wonder that such a wealthy Zhou Dynasty was so stretched when facing foreign enemies such as the Mongols and Jurchens. How could any court afford to raise such a large group of idle idlers?
Faced with Han Qi's displeased reaction, Su Miao immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Han, maybe I'm a little bit arrogant. You may not know that in our Jiangnan, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Huzhou, these places, every household has to bear the responsibility."
The taxation and labor service in the south of the Yangtze River may be two to three times that of the north. Although the land and water in the south of the Yangtze River are rich, there are still countless people selling their sons and daughters, and countless people are hungry. But I heard that the 80,000-strong army in the Beijing camp was actually killed by the Mongols.
To annihilate them in one night, it would be necessary to feed the 80,000 people in the capital camp. How much money and grain and grass the imperial court would have collected from the south of the Yangtze River would have to be spent, and how many men from the north would have to be recruited. But to get such a result, isn't it incredible?"
"Bold!" Wei Ruolan couldn't help but warn him. He looked around and said nervously: "Everyone Su, how can such words come out of your mouth? If outsiders heard it, it would be a disaster.
Woe!"
Pretending, still pretending, Feng Ziying couldn't help but want to give Wei Ruolan a performance award.
Although these words are a bit outrageous, but after the defeat of the capital camp, didn't the tea house and wine shop in the capital city talk like this?
Most of the family members and relatives of the 80,000-strong capital camp are inside and outside the capital city. Of course, they will not scold their children, relatives and friends. They will only scold the imperial court and those incompetent generals and officers. Isn't this how the imperial court is guiding public opinion for future reorganization?
Is Beijing Camp preparing for public opinion?
Isn't even "Today's News" publishing this type of news in a very subtle way in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Rites?
Is this to bully people who don’t understand the rules in the capital city? But this woman has been in the capital city for a month or two, how can she not know the secrets?
"Mr. Wei, I may speak a little more frankly, but these are the words from the bottom of my heart of the people of Jiangnan. There are only a few of us here, and I will not say these things outside, but the three of you are the best speakers in the capital city.
For those of you who can speak to me, what I said was also inspired by my feelings..."
The resentment flowing in Su Miao's brows made Wei Ruolan stunned. He coughed dryly and said: "Hey, the court will definitely have countermeasures. How can such things be wiped out silently? As far as I know...
"
Before Feng Ziying could say anything, Han Qi had already coughed dryly. Wei Ruolan was stunned for a moment, and then said sarcastically: "The imperial court will definitely have a plan to deal with it, but it hasn't been decided yet..."
Feng Ziying secretly lamented in the letter that the secrets inside and outside the imperial court were like a sieve and could not be kept secret at all.
He didn't know where Wei Ruolan got this information from, but it was nothing more than getting it from those bad friends. But who were these bad friends? They were either children of Wu Xun or members of the royal family, and
Some officials, in short, the news in this circle is almost faster than the official reports from the imperial court.
Today's business plan will be known to everyone in the family after I go back to sleep at night, and then it will spread throughout the circle.
Seemingly aware of the awkwardness of the situation, Su Miao smiled and stood up, "Well, today is a rare opportunity for all the heroes in the capital, so I will sing another song to congratulate my surrounding men on guarding the enemy from outside the country.
!”
"..., I read the sword while I was drunk, I dreamed of blowing the trumpet company..., I was burning under my command for eight hundred miles, and the sound of fifty-stringed strings was turned over the wall..."
Contrary to the soft and melodious tone before, the sound of the piano suddenly became clear and fierce, and the gestures of playing the piano were also wide open and closed, giving it a bold and majestic air. Even the singer suddenly rose a few degrees, reaching straight into the sky. Three people
The dancers are also whirling and dancing wildly, with fierce and unrestrained movements, which is more in line with Feng Ziying's preference than Yan Shu's previous song "Die Lian Hua".
"The battlefield is full of troops in the autumn..., the horse is so fast, the bow is like a thunderbolt, the string is frightened..., the pity is in vain, it is in vain!"
"Okay!" Even Feng Ziying couldn't help but clapped her hands and praised her. She stood up and drank a glass of wine. No matter where this girl came from, this song "Broken Arrangement" by Jiaxuan Gong alone is worthy of praise.
This song is both impassioned and full of deep worries and aftertaste. It is not something ordinary people can create such a sentimental mood, but Su Miao and her team have successfully achieved this, which cannot but make Feng Ziying heart-broken.
Even though the origin of this woman is really suspicious, it does not affect his appreciation of this performance.
Feng Ziying is not like some people who think that small actions are not enough to shake the overall situation, but a thousand-mile dike breaks in an ant nest. If we do not pay attention to these, it may cause great trouble to the local area of the Zhou Dynasty, and then form a chain reaction.
Just like what happened with Li Yongfang, I just didn't think of this person, which led to the failure of Fushun, which directly led to the abduction of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians.
This is undoubtedly a great tonic for the Jianzhou Jurchens. It can be said that Nurhachi may not have been able to gain such a huge harvest after several years of war.
Just bribing a rebel general brought such huge benefits, which will definitely stimulate Donglu to do this with greater actions and costs.
However, if you think that as long as you take precautions against these things, you can solve all problems, then you are ignoring the root of the problem.
With the size of Dazhou, it is true that under normal circumstances it cannot be reversed by these external tricks, but the problem is that Dazhou is now leaking from all directions and is attacked internally and externally. One hole has not been filled, and another hole has been opened. That is
Even the paper framer cannot win.
"It's really good!" Just as the three of them stood up and were impressed by Su Miao's piano skills, a voice came from the distance, "I asked why I couldn't invite the Su family and the Sun family to play the piano together.
Brother Ziying asked to leave, I still didn’t believe it, but I didn’t expect Brother Ziying to be here..."
