Chapter 708: This Place is Treasure Mountain
Gonggong Wei personally greeted the people who were guarding the yamen in the southern capital with enthusiasm, but he didn't want to, but the other party sent someone to pass the word, saying that he was halfway through the road and asked the people who asked the governor of the Yamen to go to Suzhou.
"How can it be!"
Wang Dali, the new nominal chief officer of the Royal Navy, looked annoyed, what does this person who guards the yamen mean? That's good, how can you change the hexagram halfway, isn't this clearly playing Grandpa Wei!
"Since Master Cao invites me to go, let's go back first."
Gonggong Wei didn't say anything, and waved his hand to signal the entourage to go back with him.
Not far behind him is the archway that has just been erected, with the four big characters of "Maritime Special Zone" written on it, this archway is also the first checkpoint in and out of the Maritime Special Zone, specially stationed in a general consul garrison, and the past personnel must verify their identities before they can enter the Special Zone. Officials are not allowed to enter without credentials.
This point is also the most criticized by officials in nearby prefectures and counties, and Cao Shipin used this as evidence of Wei Gelding's "rebellion" in his recital to the imperial court, because this special distinction is clearly "a country within a country".
Gonggong Wei didn't know how Jiangnan officials thought of him, and he also knew that the recital and inscription of his rebellion must have been flying like snow to Beijing, but he didn't care, he didn't care at all.
There was an incident that made his old man think it was very interesting, that is, Sun Long, a weaving eunuch from Suzhou and Hangzhou who was "expelled" by the Suzhou gentry nine years ago, somehow heard about the deeds of his father-in-law Wei, and specially sent him a gift from Hangzhou.
This gift was not a precious thing, but a poem written by Sun Long himself, the poem "Lime Yin".
Thousands of hammers were carved out of the deep mountains, and the fire burned as if it were idle.
Don't be afraid of broken bones, you have to leave your innocence in the world.
"Lime Yin" and its author Yu Qiangong's name, Wei Gonggong is like thunder in his ears. After Haosheng recited it a few times, he somewhat understood the purpose of Sun Long's sending this poem to him.
The situation and experience of this grandfather-in-law Sun are very similar to his father-in-law Wei. The difference is that Father-in-law Sun asked someone to run away, while Father-in-law Wei tied up the person who picked him up.
Speaking of the current situation, the two also have some sympathy.
At present, there are different opinions in the officialdom of Nanzhi, but basically they all judge that the internal supervisor Wei will never end well, and Sun Long can send Wei a poem written by himself at this time, and his mind needs to be said more.
Feeling Sun Long's affection, and considering Yu Qian's tomb in Hangzhou West Lake, Wei Gonggong wrote a poem back to Sun Long.
Poetry: The sun and the moon are hung in the tomb, and half of the ancestral hall of the Yue family is in the Qiankun. He was ashamed to divide his bare hands into three seats, and dared to borrow a branch for Danxin.
Of course, this poem is not the original work of Wei Gonggong, but the poem of Zhang Huangyan, a national hero who is known as the Three Heroes of West Lake along with Yue Fei and Yu Qian.
Gonggong Wei is a poet to clarify his ambition and a republic with poetry, and he clearly told Sun Long that in the white world, there is only Danxin.
It's also interesting to think about, the two eunuchs are here to express their ambitions with poetry, which is also a rare thing in the world.
"Grandpa Sun is a good person."
Gonggong Wei is so humane to his side.
………
"You're not coming?"
Xu Dayou, who was in charge of liaison affairs, saw that Father-in-law Wei had taken people away, so he had no choice but to ask someone to disband the hired music team.
Zheng Duo thought that if people didn't come, the girl invited from Shanghai County would have to send them back, so he was ready to ask someone to arrange this. didn't want Gonggong Wei to call him aside, signaling that he would listen to the girl sing a tune in the evening.
"It's all here, this money can't be spent in vain, right? Call everyone to come in the evening and have a lively time. Father-in-law Wei said very indifferently, it seems that his old man is really reluctant to throw money into the water in vain.
"My subordinates understand!"
Zheng Duo knew that Father-in-law Wei had a special hobby, so he suggested whether to send someone to take the two ladies of Nandu over to relieve his father-in-law's longing.
"Well... Our family has the emperor's order, and the two affairs of the Special Administrative Region and the Navy only overwhelm our family, so how can we take care of the two wives. Hou Hou, the champion of the Han Dynasty, once said that the Xiongnu were not destroyed, so why should they be at home. If we don't do a good job here, we won't have a personal relationship between men and women, otherwise we won't be able to live with the emperor, and we won't be able to live with this SAR and the navy......"
Speaking of this, Gonggong Wei's face showed a little solemnity, and his eyes looked firmly at the migrant workers who were building the border fence of the Special Administrative Region in the distance.
After a long time, his old man suddenly turned his head and instructed Zheng Duo: "You will send someone to pick up the two ladies tomorrow, our family thinks that there are some things that we have to explain to the two ladies before leaving, otherwise we will not feel good." ”
"Yes, yes."
Father-in-law Wei's preface and afterword often don't match, but fortunately, Zheng Duo has been by his side for a long time, so it's not strange to see this.
Gonggong Wei smiled with satisfaction, continued to ride his horse forward slowly, and asked Zheng Duo: "By the way, has that Mao County Commander of Shanghai ever come to trouble our family?" ”
This is talking about Mao Yilu, the magistrate of Shanghai, that is, the future governor of Yingtian, another godson of the second uncle. The casino where Father-in-law Wei made a big fuss a while ago is said to have this member of Mao Zhi County.
"How dare Mao Yilu come to pick his father-in-law's tiger whiskers." Zheng Duo smiled contemptuously, "Not only did this Shanghai County not dare to come to trouble my father-in-law, but I also sent someone to send five thousand taels of silver to my father-in-law, saying that my father-in-law won." ”
Father-in-law Wei sighed: "Our family has won more than that." ”
"Shanghai County is afraid that money is also tight." Zheng Duo chuckled, "This person knows that his father-in-law can't be provoked, so he came to show his goodwill." ”
"But he's a man who understands."
Gonggong Wei nodded with a smile, "Mao is much more sensible than Jiading, Huating, Kunshan, Fengxian, and Nanjiang counties, and our family will be their neighbors in the future. ”
"Father-in-law, don't worry, if Jiading and Huating counties dare to make things difficult for our people, their subordinates will lead troops to ask for understanding."
"It's to ask and understand, our family is purchasing real money, and it's not like buying things without giving money. Well, people don't offend me, I don't offend people. If anyone sins against me, I will offend. ”
After Gonggong Wei said this, he thought of something, and hurriedly said to Zhao Xinquan, the former ambassador of the Wusongshui Camp who was in charge of money and grain behind him, who was temporarily used as a "book office": "Write down these words and publish them in our family's anthology." ”
"Yes, father-in-law."
Zhao Xinquan hurriedly kept what Gonggong Wei said in his heart and didn't dare to forget it.
"The sage said, "Gou is new every day, every day is new, and every day is new. Only by reviewing the past can we learn the new, and only by reflecting on it every day can we do things well. Father-in-law Wei looked up at the dozens of miles in front of him, and was very emotional, "This place is Baoshan, and if our family wants to cure this Baoshan, we can only make progress every day." ”
Everyone only said that the Baoshan mentioned by Gonggong Wei refers to the location of this special maritime zone, and according to Gonggong Wei, this special maritime zone will not be a Baoshan with gold and silver in the future.
But I don't know that the treasure mountain of Father-in-law Wei has another meaning, and the land under his feet will really be called Baoshan after a few hundred years.
After sighing, Gonggong Wei reined in the reins of his horse and said to the left and right: "Let's go, go and meet those green skins, and our family still points to them to solicit customers for us." ”
