Scroll C, Poetry and Wine, Taking Advantage of the Years, Section 22, Appointment

 Fang Youdu left, full of hope and passion. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test

The second half of the meal was basically spent discussing how to write this article.

To be precise, it is not a discussion, but a lesson. Fang Youdu has already felt that if he can perform outstandingly in this, maybe he, a third-class scholar at the bottom, may not be able to stay in Beijing.

According to convention, fellow Jinshis like him who are ranked lower in the ranking will basically go back to the local area after the period of observing the government. It should be their normal destination to serve as an official or county magistrate, and the period of observing the government is basically long.

Worked for three years.

But if you have outstanding performance, it will be different. If you win the attention and even favor of the cabinet elders, Liubu Hall officials, and even the emperor, everything will be easy. This is also a group of Jinshi and fellow Jinshi who watch politics.

our greatest motivation.

For this type of summary article, Feng Ziying has written hundreds and thousands of articles during her decades in politics in her previous life. How to grasp the core, highlight the key points, ignite explosive points, and attract attention are all familiar and easy to do.

Fang Youdu was also a Jinshi after all, his literary talent and vocabulary were all right, and his wording and sentences were even better than Feng Ziying's. The key was his lack of experience.

It is estimated that no one has ever done this kind of new thing. In this era, most people express their intentions scatteredly in their own memorials and memorials. However, systematic and targeted refining and processing like this is estimated to be impossible.

This is really the first time.

Originally, he wanted to stay with Fang Youdu to drink tea for a while, but Fang Youdu could not sit still for a long time.

It is estimated that he will have to stay up late tonight when he goes home, but Feng Ziying also reminded him not to rush, and after writing it, he will refine it by himself and finally submit it to himself for review. He still has plenty of time.

How can there be only one article in an "Internal Reference"? Of course it must be rich in content.

I don’t want to cover everything, but at least I want to impress more people, especially since this is the first issue.

Since you have made up your mind to do this, you must be fully prepared. Such an "Internal Reference" from the Hanlin Academy will definitely be recorded in the history of the Zhou Dynasty.

But there are still many hurdles to overcome in how to truly take this publication from germination to cultivation, then to development and expansion, and even promotion.

First of all, he had to obtain the approval of Huang Ruliang, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites and the head of the Hanlin Academy.

Without his nod, this "Internal Reference" would never have appeared. In addition, most of these articles involve certain court affairs, and many of them are relatively sensitive topics, which definitely require a certain degree of confidentiality. So if it is to be printed, it cannot be published in

Go outside.

The Hanlin Academy has its own printing workshop, which mainly provides services for printing history books and classics. The technology is good, but the scale is not large. Feng Ziying feels that this may be an opportunity in this field in the future.

In the next few days, Feng Ziying became crazy busy.

In addition to Fang Youdu, there are also Zheng Chongjian and Wang Yingxiong, and naturally Lian Guoshi and Xu Xie are also indispensable.

"Brother Zixun, I'm afraid you and I are just hearsay about how big overseas is. Only those maritime merchants who actually go to and from the sea can truly understand it. I wonder if Brother Zixun is familiar with the merchants from your hometown?

"

Xu Xian had long felt that something was wrong with Feng Ziying during this period, he was sneaky, but he also seemed very busy. He started to be interested in studying history, which he originally thought was boring, and he often asked some questions while studying.

Seeing that he frequently came into contact with the Jinshi who were watching the government in Beijing, Xu Xie knew that this guy must be planning something big, but he couldn't ask further.

Until today, this guy finally found him, and Xu Xie felt that something was wrong.

"I have some understanding, but I have had little contact with my brother since he arrived in the capital." Xu Xie didn't dare to express his position easily before he didn't know Feng Ziying's intentions. Although he also felt that Feng Ziying would not be harmful to him, he was not Fang Ziying.

Characters like Youdu and Zheng Chongjian who blindly worship Feng Ziying often need to think a little more.

"There should be a Fujian guild hall in the capital city, right? Doesn't Brother Zixun never go there?" Feng Ziying said with a smile: "Brother Zixun, I have something to ask for."

"Oh? Whatever it is, as long as Brother Yu can help, of course it's not a problem." Xu Xie nodded.

"Well, Brother Zixun, you and I won't beat around the bush. The people along the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang have been living in poverty for a long time. This is because the coasts of Fujian and Zhejiang are mountainous and sparse, with more people and less land. It is not easy to make a living. Making a living by sea has been their survival since ancient times.

method, but from the Ming Dynasty to the Zhou Dynasty, due to various reasons, the policy of sea ban was prevalent. But in fact, although the sea ban is still the same, it is already riddled with holes. The imperial court is also well aware of how strong the implementation is.

But once it is proposed to lift the maritime ban, we can all imagine that we will definitely encounter great opposition..."

Regarding Feng Ziying's attitude towards lifting the maritime ban, Xu Xie had known about it for a long time, and even some thoughtful people in the imperial court knew it. Otherwise, there would not have been a concubine selected for the "deal" he was entrusted with.

Of course, it's not that people are interested in Feng Ziying's great weight and influence, but they are more focused on the people behind Feng Ziying and the group he represents.

At the same time, the northern scholars represented by Feng Ziying are also key.

The people in the imperial court who were most opposed to the opening of the sea were the northern scholars and civil servants. In addition, the martial arts group, as an important force in the army, also always held an opposition.

Feng Ziying is not only a sudden rise among the martial arts community, but the two big guys behind her - Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia - are the backbone of northern scholars, and Qi Yongtai is very likely to become a representative figure of northern scholars in the future.

Because of this, Feng Ziying's attitude and influence are particularly special.

Xu Xie nodded slightly, "Ziying, if this were not the case, how could it be so difficult to open the sea?"

"There may have been reasons for the sea ban at the beginning, but times have changed. I think some of the reasons and reasons for the original sea ban are no longer valid. In contrast, the benefits and necessity of opening the sea have become greater and greater, but it seems that

Once this issue comes up within the imperial court, everyone will criticize each other and stick to their own opinions. Over time, it becomes opposition for the sake of opposition, and there are few real reasons and reasons involved..."

"Ziying, what do you mean, just say it." Xu Xie vaguely figured out something, but he didn't know how Feng Ziying planned to solve this problem.

"As I wish, Brother Zixun is very talented in literature. Can you first write an article based on the difficult life faced by the people in the coastal areas of Fujian and Zhejiang, so that the princes in the court, especially the northern courtiers who have never been to the south, can understand this aspect?

situation?"

Is this it? Xu Xie was confused. Is this something worthy of being discussed with him in such a serious manner?

"Brother Zixun, I can't reveal the other brothers for the time being, but this is just the first step. I will also cooperate with you and write an article. Well, maybe there will be some differences by then..."

Xu Xie also knew that this person always made plans before taking action, and that once he made a move, it was basically a one-hit kill, so he would definitely be able to achieve his goal. Moreover, it was nothing for him to write this article, it must have deep meaning.

"Ziying, it's rare that I invited you here to have a drink with me." The man sitting opposite Feng Ziying was only in his early thirties. He had a gray complexion, high cheekbones, and slightly raised eyebrows. He was very imposing. "So he should be my brother's replacement.

It's only right for you to celebrate. It's all smooth sailing for you when it comes to selecting the imperial examination hall and hall. At your age, my brother is still studying hard to qualify as a scholar."

The setting sun falls on the window lattice, reflecting the mottled window grilles on the floor. A screen in the style of a Tang Dynasty lady is placed half-covered in the room, giving it a more lazy and comfortable atmosphere.

"Brother Chu Cai, why should you and I care about this?" Feng Ziying smiled and poured wine for him.

"Ziying, I know your family is well off, but it would be too extravagant for you and me to have this room just for you." Speaking in a Shandong accent, it was none other than Feng Ziying's fellow countryman, Geng Ruqi, the director of the Ministry of War's Staff Department.

"Well, it's not that I'm extravagant, but I want to talk to Brother Chu Cai about some more secretive topics, so I chose a place like this." Feng Ziying put down the wine bottle casually, "I wanted to find a quiet place, but I haven't talked to him for a long time.

Brother Chu Cai, I think some wine is needed to make many topics more enjoyable, so I chose this place."

A gleam of surprise flashed across Geng Ruchi's slightly small but energetic eyes.

This little fellow of mine is a prominent figure among the Shuji scholars. He has even stolen a lot of the limelight from the first, first and third ranks. Now that he has entered the Hanlin Academy, he thought he would be peaceful for a while. Unexpectedly, it has only been so long.

It's been half a month, and it looks like I'm not willing to be lonely again.

Feng Ziying didn't mention the topic, and Geng Ruqi didn't ask. They just chatted and drank.

After drinking for three rounds, Geng Ruqi saw that Feng Ziying still didn't mention the purpose of coming, and couldn't help shaking his head: "Ziying, you are really patient. I have to ask you for my brother, why did you invite me to this drink specifically?

If this is the case, then Jun Yu should be called as well."

The relationship between Lian Guoshi and Geng Ruqi is not shallow, but today’s topic is more appropriate for the two of them to talk about.

"Brother, please be patient. I've been thinking about how to talk about this topic..." Feng Ziying pondered, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

"What topic makes Ziying so embarrassed? This is really rare. Ziying, your reputation is not small now. Although you have not officially entered the official position, Brother Yu can't find any of the sage scholars in our department.

I can catch up with you."

Geng Ruqi was a Jinshi in the 41st year of Yuanxi, two subjects earlier than Feng Ziying and others, but he was not selected as a Shujishi.

"I don't know Brother Chucai's attitude towards the opening of the sea. Well, I also want to ask Brother Chucai. If the sea is opened, what will it mean to us in Shandong, such as Denglai and Liaodong?" Feng Ziying said one word.

asked in one sentence.

The reason why I wanted to find Geng Ruxi was because in the south, opening up the sea was a matter for maritime merchants, but for the north, opening up the sea was more complicated and involved political and military implications.
