The official threw the memorial in his hand on the table and glared at Qin Hao: "Are you scared? You are so audacious to detain the prince's family members. Do you know how big a crime it is?"
Qin Hao said loudly: "Guan family, what reason does the prince have for detaining my father? I am just treating him in his own way. Just because he is the prince and because he is about to inherit the throne, I
Can the Marquis of Dongchang Mansion just surrender and be slaughtered by others?"
"Bold!" Mr. Han's face turned ugly when he heard Qin Hao mention the succession to the throne. They finally convinced the officials to make up their minds and never allow Qin Hao to waver.
The official also slapped the table: "How outrageous!"
Qin Hao asked unhurriedly: "If I come to the palace to seek help from an official, will the official stand up for me?"
The official looked at Qin Hao's resolute face and couldn't help but sigh. He hadn't seen such a high-spirited young courtier for many years. Unfortunately, he was already old!
"Then you shouldn't use this method. Do you know how much trouble this will bring to Dongchang Hou Mansion?" The official's words seemed to be reproachful, but his tone revealed an inexplicable flavor.
Qin Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the officials did not want to punish him severely.
"Being reckless and reckless. The Privy Council is in charge of the world's military. You, the Privy Council, should not act like this. During the palace examination, didn't you propose using the Fusang Silver Mine to solve the money shortage in the Song Dynasty in your article? So you will be punished by going to Fusang to perform meritorious deeds."
!" The official looked like he hated iron.
When Qin Hao heard this, he couldn't help but bow down to the official family. This kind old man had good intentions.
It seemed that he was removed from his post as punishment, but in fact he was transferred away from the center of the storm to prevent King Yong from attacking him immediately after he succeeded to the throne.
"I obey the decree."
The official waved his hand, indicating that Qin Hao could leave.
Qin Hao bowed slightly: "Guardians, take care."
Looking at Qin Hao's leaving figure, the official suddenly smiled and said fair to Mr. Han beside him: "Look at this boy, he is really not afraid of tigers. Fusang is a wild land. If other nobles heard about it, they would definitely beg for mercy, but he
It’s like a sweet treat.”
Grand Prime Minister Han complimented: "In this way, His Majesty can live up to his plan for him."
The official's face suddenly looked a little melancholy. How could he not know what kind of virtue King Yong was? He was not the material to be a wise king, but he had no time. He didn't know how long he could live. The foundation of the Song Dynasty
Someone must succeed, otherwise the world will be in chaos, and the people will suffer.
"If he can really solve the money shortage in the Song Dynasty, it will be a great achievement. When the time comes, with you husbands and queens protecting you, King Yong will not dare to be too presumptuous. If he can't do it, his life in Fusang will be safe.
.”
"Xiangong Han, the power of the Song Dynasty depends on you!"
The official's tone became a little sad and angry. He asked himself that he had been diligent in his life, had never implemented harsh government, and lived with the people, but why did all his sons die without being raised?
Why can't he be given a little more time? Why can't he be given a successor?
Mr. Han fell to his knees, sobbing like a child.
When he got home and explained the situation, Mrs. Qin Liu immediately became unhappy and wanted to go to the palace to plead for mercy.
"Fusang is a barbaric land, isn't this just a distribution? Moreover, the journey is far away and the sea is very stormy. If anything happens...
Mrs. Qin Liu burst into tears.
Qin Junye also gritted his teeth and said: "If it doesn't work out, please ask Ningyuan Houfu to make peace with him. The officials have the most trust in him and he will definitely be able to take back his life."
After saying that, he was about to stand up, but Qin Hao quickly stopped him.
"Father, mother, this matter is a foregone conclusion and cannot be undone. Moreover, the officials are doing this to preserve the Dongchang Hou Mansion. Think about the virtues of King Yong. If he succeeds to the throne, will he give up?"
Qin Liu and Qin Junye couldn't help but look gloomy when they heard this. Yes, once King Yong succeeds to the throne, he will become an official. Honored nobles are different from civil servants. The punishment of officials who cannot be punished is for scholars. Honored nobles are not among them. I think
It is too easy to rectify the Dongchang Hou Mansion.
Qin Hao saw that the two of them were worried, so he comforted them: "Actually, there is no need to worry so much. In our dynasty, the officials and the scholar-bureaucrats share the world, and the officials cannot have their own way. Moreover, looking at the appearance of King Yong, it does not look like he will live a hundred years.
Yes, maybe his destiny cannot support such incredible wealth?"
Qin Liu and Qin Junye only considered their son to be merciful, and now they can only think about the good things.
"When will we set off?" Qin Junye asked with a sigh.
Qin Hao shook his head: "Let's wait for the decree to come down. It's not clear yet."
As he spoke, Qin Hao remembered something again and bowed to Mrs. Qin Liu: "Mother, there is one more thing that I need to do for me before I leave."
Qin Liu asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"
Qin Hao said: "I don't know how long it has been since I left. I asked my mother to go to Yu Mansion to ask for a hand in marriage on my child's behalf."
When Qin Liu heard that it was already this time, he was still thinking about marrying a wife, so he suddenly said angrily: "I'm afraid if we are in trouble now, it's too late for others to hide from us!"
"If that's the case, it means that the child has no fate with Miss Yanran. He can wait until the child comes back from a successful career before marrying another wife." Qin Hao also wanted to see what the attitude of the Yu family was. If we can't share the joys and sorrows together, it's okay if we don't get married.
.
Qin Liushi shook her head secretly, it was already this time, she was still thinking about making great achievements and saving her life, it would be great if she came back in one piece!
"Okay, mother will go and ask you with that old face."
Qin Junye also accepted this reality and said to Qin Hao: "You can take some of the soldiers at home. In places like Fusang and other places with dangerous mountains and rivers, it is always good to have more of your own people around."
Qin Hao didn't object. In fact, he had little confidence in the Song Dynasty's army. The Song Dynasty's army was basically invincible externally, and it was a mess internally. Even a small character like Fang La could make the Song Dynasty's chickens and dogs restless. It was really a big deal.
.
Judging from the incident of detaining Princess Yong, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Hou Mansion is quite good. With such a group of backbones, it is not impossible to build a strong army.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Qin Hao stood in front of all the soldiers and said calmly: "Fusang is a long way to go, it is a wild land. Maybe you will never be able to return to the country alive.
Song, if you want to quit, it's still too late."
No one wavered, Cui Zhi cupped his hands and said: "We are willing to follow the young marquis in front of the horse and behind the horse!"
Then a group of fifty soldiers shouted in unison: They are willing to go through fire and water for the young marquis.
Qin Hao nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand: "Okay, since you are not afraid of death, I will also give you a promise here. From now on, we will be brothers and sisters. Whenever there is a war, I will rush to the front and never abandon you."
If any sibling dies in battle, the Hou Mansion will definitely take care of the aftermath, and the parents, wife and children will be supported by the Hou Mansion throughout their lives."
"In addition, everyone present, go to the accounting office to collect fifty taels of housing allowance. Remember, this money is not for you to squander. It is to be used for your parents, wives and children. If I find out, who will use it for gambling and escorting prostitutes?
, I will definitely not be lenient."
"promise!"
All the soldiers happily went to the accounting office to collect the money, fifty taels, they had never seen so much money in their lives.
Although Mrs. Qin Liu felt a little distressed, she risked her life for her son's safety.
On the other side, Yufu.
Yu Yanran was embroidering handkerchiefs in her boudoir when she suddenly heard her personal maid saying in a hurry: "Miss, miss, something big has happened."
"Jade, you...
Wanting to teach herself a lesson, Jade hurriedly said: "Miss, something really big happened this time. Someone came to ask for marriage."
Yu Yanran said "Ah" and her finger was pricked by the needle. She didn't care about the pain and quickly asked: "Whose marriage are you asking for? Second lady or me? Who is here to ask for marriage?"
Jade smiled evilly and said, "Miss, I'm thirsty, can I ask for a glass of water?"
"You damn girl, you're going to rebel, right? Drink it quickly! Say it after you drink it!" Yu Yanran rolled her eyes at Jade.
Jade took a few sips of water, and then said slowly: "Miss, Dongchang Houfu has come to ask for a hand in marriage. I want you to marry me."
"You, what did you say?" Yu Yanran was confused for a moment, and she thought she heard wrongly.
Jade repeated it again, Yu Yanran calmed down, but still couldn't believe it: "How is it possible? Dongchang Hou Mansion? Young Lord Marquis?"
"It must have been the last polo match, when the young Marquis helped you win back the hairpin. It must have been at that time that the young Marquis fell in love with the young lady at first sight." The fantasy scenes in Jade's mind are enough to fill a script.
.
Yu Yanran's face turned red with embarrassment: "You damn girl, are you ashamed or not, can you say such things?"
"Then, girl, do you want to get married?" Jade asked jokingly.
Yu Yanran:…….
Of course she thought, she could never dream of such a good husband, and her mind couldn't help but recall the scenes at the polo match.
"Yu Yanran, Yu Yanran, are you ashamed or not?"
But I still couldn't help but think about it in my mind.
However, at this time, in the front hall of Yu Mansion, Mr. Yu decisively rejected the intermediary's offer of peace.
"With such a high family status in Dongchang Houfu, our Yu family may not be able to reach it."
In fact, if it had been before, Master Yu would have definitely agreed without saying a word. The legitimate son of Dongchang Hou Mansion won three yuan in succession at the age of fifteen. Where could he find a son-in-law with such conditions?
It's a pity that it's not good for him to offend anyone, but he offended King Yong. Can King Yong be offended casually? He is a future official.
The middleman probably understood what was going on, and after returning, he explained the situation again.
Mrs. Qin Liu comforted Qin Hao and said, "That girl doesn't have this blessing. Brother Hao, don't worry. Mother will find a good one for you."
Qin Hao didn't hesitate. He chose Yu Yanran mainly because she had a gentle temperament, would be easy to get along with in the future, and would be kind to the children at home. Since the Yu family refused, there was no need for him to hang himself from this tree.
I originally thought this matter would be over.
Unexpectedly, the next day, the old lady of Yu Mansion came to visit in person and mentioned the marriage again.
It turned out that just after Mr. Yu rejected the Dongchang Hou Mansion, Yu Yanran learned the news and went to Mrs. Yu to cry out in sadness.
Master Yu had met Qin Hao and had a good impression of him. When he heard that this was still happening, he quickly called Master Yu over to give him a lecture.
"Father, the Dongchang Marquis Mansion has offended the future official family. Marrying Yanran will not only push her into the pit of fire, but it will also hurt our Yu family in the future."
Before Mr. Yu could say anything, the wife of Xu Xian jumped out.
Mrs. Yu raised her eyelids and sneered: "Are you afraid that it will make it difficult for your biological daughter to get married?"
Mrs. Yu was speechless. Mr. Yu quickly said: "Father, what are you talking about? Isn't the second girl also your direct granddaughter?"
Mrs. Yu glared at her son: "By the way, I have forgotten you. Are you afraid that having such a son-in-law will make it difficult for you to climb the ladder in the future?"
Mr. Yu didn't say anything either. If he didn't say that he knew his son better than his father, Mrs. Yu's words really spoke to his heart.
Grand Master Yu pointed at her son and scolded her with hatred: "Thankfully, you are also a person who has read books about saints and sages. All you can think about is getting promoted and getting rich. A real man does what he wants and what he doesn't do. A person like you is just trying to get things done."
, what qualifications do you have to stand in the court and ask for orders for the livelihood of the people?"
"If you want to talk more, I will submit a memorial to the officials and take off your red robe, so that you will not have to sit in the corpse and eat without food, which will stain the integrity of the scholar!"
Master Yu didn't dare to speak anymore. He knew that his father had always been upright, and he would really kill his relatives when he was angered.
Mrs. Yu wanted to say something else, but Mrs. Yu glared at her.
"What? You still want to disobey your elders? If you open an ancestral hall, you can give me a divorce note and divorce her!"
Mrs. Yu was defeated in an instant. If she was divorced, she would be embarrassed to see others, and the future prospects of her daughter and son would also be ruined.
Mrs. Yu's fighting ability was extraordinary, and she settled the matter in an instant. Mrs. Yu took the initiative to come to apologize and renew the marriage.
Mrs. Qin Liu was originally very unhappy, but seeing that Mrs. Yu's attitude was very sincere, her anger subsided.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The marriage is now finalized.
At the same time, the official's decree also came down, and Qin Hao was assigned the position of Zhaowu Colonel, which was still the sixth rank, but this official position could lead the army.
The officials also transferred troops from three capitals to Qin Hao from Beidaying. Each one has a hundred people, which means a total of 300 people. Beidaying is considered a relatively combat-effective army. Many soldiers were stationed there.
Crossing the northern border and surviving in such a complicated environment requires two brushes.
In addition to soldiers, the government also allocated a team of fifty craftsmen to Qin Hao from the Ministry of Industry, among which the largest number were blacksmiths, as well as masons, carpenters, and even some who were dedicated to firing porcelain for the official kilns.
The troops were scheduled to leave in half a month, so it was naturally too late for Qin Hao and Yu Yanran's wedding. In the end, the two families discussed and decided to send the betrothal gift first, and then decided on the wedding, even if it was an engagement, and waited until Qin Hao came back.
Come to the door again to welcome the bride.
In the next ten days or so, the two families were extremely busy, and Qin Hao was like a wooden man at the mercy of others. In ancient times, the number of etiquette for getting engaged was so frightening.
What: accepting a gift, asking for a name, accepting a gift, and accepting a levy? This set of procedures made Qin Hao feel overwhelmed. Fortunately, it was more troublesome to marry the first wife. After that, he could just go through the motions of taking in a concubine.
.
During this period, Qin Hao also met with Yu Yanran, secretly of course. Yu Yanran also embroidered a peace charm for Qin Hao, and Qin Hao gave her a jade pendant he carried with him.
The day of departure soon came, and Qin Hao and his party took a mighty official ship to Ningbo, which of course in the Song Dynasty was called Mingzhou.
In fact, the Song Dynasty began to trade with Japan very early. At this time, the Song Dynasty was a bit like Britain in later generations. Navigation trade was very developed. Wherever there was money to be made, Song Dynasty merchants were everywhere.
Going from Mingzhou to Japan is a relatively common route and relatively safe.
Qin Hao and his party did not set off immediately after arriving in Mingzhou. Instead, they have been training in Mingzhou for a month. After all, most of these northern soldiers are not familiar with water and have no experience in boating. Let alone encounter enemies at sea.
The wind and waves alone are enough for them to drink a pot.
Qin Hao directly rented a large maritime merchant ship and let the sailors wander offshore every day. All the soldiers, including Cui Zhi, almost vomited their intestines.
As for swimming, I kicked people off the boat and fished them out until they were half-dead. Of course, I learned quickly. When faced with the threat of death, people's potential is unlimited.
A month later, the large ship carried Qin Hao and his party across the ocean to Japan, accompanied by two merchant ships. At this time, Japan was still in the shogunate era, governed by the Fujiwara family, and was basically closed to the outside world, rarely communicating with the outside world.
.
Qin Hao's goal this time is to "see the silver mountain in stone". The output of this silver mountain is astonishingly high, accounting for one-third of the world's silver mine output.
Of course, "Iwami Ginzan" had not yet been developed at this time, and its location was in the southwest of Honshu Island. During the Song Dynasty, it was still a place where birds did not poop.
Surrounded by some relatively small daimyo lords, Qin Hao's regular army of 350 people, equipped with all kinds of equipment, was simply a dimensionality reduction strike.
However, Qin Hao did not directly eliminate these big names. After all, as an outsider, his actions were too reckless and could easily cause panic. It would also be troublesome if these big names gathered together to fight.
And his purpose is not to kill, but to grab money. No matter how big the reserves of Shi Jian Yin Mountain are, they still need people to dig them. We can't let people like Qin Hao do it, right?
Therefore, Qin Hao directly summoned these big names and promised to provide them with various living supplies and medicines, and asked them to help recruit miners.
Hearing Qin Hao speak fluent Japanese, these famous figures were surprised and at the same time felt respected. At the same time, seeing the majestic soldiers in Qin Hao's camp, with a big stick on one side and a carrot on the other, they naturally knew what to choose.
Of course, these daimyo are not good things. The miners they sent are actually skinny refugees. In the agricultural era, there was not much land that could be cultivated in Japan. In addition, a large amount of land was occupied by daimyo and the samurai class.
People are living in dire straits.
Although Qin Hao's mine was a little tiring from work, he was able to eat well, and soon a large number of refugees came after hearing the news.
After these famous people tasted the sweetness, they began to live a life of luxury in the eyes of Japanese people. They even dared to add small fish for breakfast. At the same time, they also became more and more dependent on Qin Hao's material supplies. In order to exchange for more materials, they not only used
Most of the farmers within the jurisdiction were sent to Qin Hao's mine, and they also began to plunder the surrounding areas.
Qin Hao did not come forward during the whole process. In this era of poor information, by the time the Fujiwara family got the news, Qin Hao's mine had begun to take shape, with more than 3,000 miners alone.
Qin Hao also intends to conduct military training for these miners. Originally, these miners were refugees who did not have enough to eat. Now they can not only have enough to eat in the mine, but also occasionally eat dried fish and pork. It is like living in paradise.
, Fujiwara dared to ruin their happy life.
Without Qin Hao's mobilization, as long as each of them is given a sword, they can defeat the army sent by the Fujiwara clan.
After fighting several battles, the Fujiwara clan was completely defeated. As a last resort, they had to negotiate with Qin Hao. In the end, the two parties agreed that Qin Hao would permanently obtain the mining rights of Iwami Ginzan, but he would have to provide five shipments of supplies to the Fujiwara clan every year.
.
With the huge reserves of Iwami Ginzan, this amount of supplies is not even a drop in the bucket.
At this time, a shocking incident was also taking place in the Song Dynasty Hall.
King Yong will soon be appointed as the crown prince. Once the official family dies, King Yong will be able to inherit the throne.
However, King Yan naturally would not sit still and wait for death. He and Concubine Rong carried out a palace coup, killing all King Yong's family and forcing the officials to abdicate.
A little palace maid prepared to escape from the palace with a blood edict and military talismans. She met Minglan on the way. The little palace maid died during the escape. Minglan fled alone and met Gu Tingye and Zhao Zongquan's father and son outside the city.
The content of the blood edict was to let Zhao Zongquan succeed to the throne and kill King Yan.
Under the persuasion of Gu Tingye and his son, Zhao Zongquan finally gritted his teeth and took the military talisman to go to the barracks to mobilize troops for King Qin.
In the end, with Gu Tingye's hard work, he saved the official family and the queen, killed King Yan, and Zhao Zongquan was appointed as the prince. After the official family died, Zhao Zongquan succeeded to the throne.
The entire Song Dynasty Hall also opened a new chapter.
