Chapter 557: Humiliation (Plus for 'Martyr A')

Wushan is not high.

"Why are you so short?"

Wang Yan looked at Wu Shan in front of him with his hands and said, "A few years ago, Ouyang Xiu wrote a beautiful record, so Wu Shan was famous in the capital, and today it seems that it is nothing more than that. ”

The sky is slightly dark, the Wu Mountain is lush, climb the stairs, the cool breeze blows, and I can't help but feel relaxed.

Feng Jin, the governor of Hangzhou, took the lead in front of the side, and said a few words to Chen Ang from time to time, but his face was not very good-looking.

He turned around and glanced at Wang Yan, who looked calm, and there was more coldness on his serious face.

"This is ......"

Hangzhou is a big state, and Feng Jin also holds the position of the city's envoy, which is roughly equivalent to the mayor of Hangzhou in later generations, and the general person in charge of Hangzhou's customs and port.

Feng Jin, who is in a high position, naturally doesn't look down on the arrogant Wang Yan, so his tone is not very good.

Chen Ang said in a low voice: "Wang Anshi's family, I came with me this time, just to see the world. ”

"I see!"

Seeing that there was nothing in the world, Feng Jin's face looked better, and said, "Young people should be humble. ”

Wang Yan was stunned, and after glancing at Chen Ang, he arched his hand and said, "Yes, what Feng Zhizhou said is very true. ”

He looked very sincere, which made Feng Jin's mood improve.

How do people show their authority?

It's a good idea to teach the juniors.

——Young man, how did the old man ...... back then?

- Young man, the old man has eaten more salt than you have ever eaten. The old man has walked more bridges than you have walked.

Then Feng Jin talked a lot about his reading experience back then, probably because of his head hanging beams, cones and stabbing stocks, plus his intelligence, which stood out.

Chen Ang saw what he said on the side, and couldn't help but smile bitterly secretly.

You say that you are wise in front of Wang Yan......

That kid looks honest now, but he is wilted and wilted in his bones. If you think he's a white rabbit, he'll find you in the middle of the net.

On the mountain, there were more than 100 people in front of Youmeitang.

These people were originally noisy, but when Feng Jin appeared, they immediately kept silent, and everyone laughed.

There are not many people who can see the wind and steer and see people put down dishes, but there are three kinds of people: one is a businessman; the second is splashing skin; The third is officials.

"I've seen Zhizhou."

Feng Jin nodded, and said lightly: "I summoned you and others here today to welcome the envoy from the capital...... The three divisions of the household department are the officials...... Chen Ang. ”

Chen Ang arched his hand and said, "I'm tired of you today. ”

These are all maritime merchants who are begging for a living in Hangzhou, either going to the sea, supplying goods, or buying goods......

"I've seen Chen Tuiguan."

Feng Jin looked at the sky and said, "It's not hot today, let's take a walk outside." ”

Everyone said yes, and someone said: "There are a lot of strange stones on the side of Ziyang Mountain, but you can take a look." ”

Feng Jin nodded slightly, and the group surrounded him and Chen Ang.

Wang Yan was at the back, seemingly careless, but he was observing the behavior of these merchants.

Businessmen are profitable!

This is a truth that is not easy for the ages, and how to make these businessmen do what they think in advance is not a simple matter.

Enjoying the scenery all the way, and finally standing on the top of the mountain, Feng Jin was hunted by the wind's clothes, and said happily: "This situation and this scene, can there be poems to remember?" ”

The businessmen looked at each other, and finally made a few sour words, which made Feng Jin shake his head and sigh: "If you don't learn, you can't do anything!" ”

For businessmen, Feng Jin is their superior and holds the power of life and death in their hands, so touting is a must.

After some praise, Feng Jin's face was a little pale, and when he saw Wang Yan in a daze on the side, he said, "Do you have a young man?" ”

Wang Yan pointed to the bottom of the mountain and said: "Wu Mountain is the remaining vein of Tianmu Mountain, breaking into the city, the left lake and the right river, the front street and the back market, at a glance, this Hangzhou shape of the place. ”

He glanced at Feng Jin and bowed slightly: "This place is full of treasures, outstanding people, and spirits." But a certain person came here for a few days, and also went to the dock......"

At this time, the river is mighty, and the sea boats can sail directly in, and everyone can see countless sails when they look at the top of the mountain.

"I looked at it for a few days and found a problem."

Wang Yan said lightly: "There are many boats coming, but few boats going out." Those foreign merchants made a lot of money here, but the Great Song Dynasty lost money, what should I do? ”

The businessmen were a little embarrassed, and someone said: "Xiao Langjun is afraid that he doesn't know the dangers overseas, if he encounters a strong wind, a fleet will sink to the bottom of the sea, and there will be no bones!" ”

At this time, there were many people who went to sea, but there was no such huge scene of sails as in the later period.

Someone frowned and said: "The big food merchant controls the farther channel, and they refuse to say, and we can't wait!" ”

"The sea is so big that people who have never been there can't imagine it. The smoke and waves are vast, and the sea is still in the far side, dazed. If you don't have a chart, you go to sea...... No one will come back alive. ”

"What about the astral arts?"

Wang Yan asked: "And Sinan, with the astrological technique, go to sea and go along the coast as much as possible, and you can always explore new places." ”

Sinan, that is, the compass, was discovered by the Great Food Merchants in China and brought back, and later spread to Europe.

The merchant is the messenger at this time, communicating with all parties and passing on all kinds of knowledge.

And the Great Food Merchant is the best messenger. They traveled from place to place in ships, amassed great wealth, and spread knowledge everywhere.

The merchants were a little embarrassed, at this time the maritime trade had not yet reached its peak, and there were not enough outlaws.

But Wang Yan, a young man, said this, which irritated them a little.

Someone said: "I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate for the young man to say this, Feng Zhizhou hasn't spoken yet!" ”

Feng Jin frowned on the side, looking not very happy, which was also the reason why the businessmen dared to question Wang Yan.

Zhizhou is the boss, what are you pretending to be a young man?

Feng Jin said unhappily: "When the Great Song Dynasty was founded, Emperor Taizong sent people out in order to attract merchants from all over the world, and gave many benefits, which led to the prosperity of today's three divisions. If the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty flocked to the sea to rob the business of the Great Cannibal, it would not be long before the Great Cannibal would have resentment......"

Wang Yan smiled and said, "Is Da Song afraid of them?" ”

The Great Song Dynasty was afraid of the Liao people, the Western Xia people, and the Jiaozhi people, but they were not afraid of the big cannibals.

Feng Jin flicked his sleeves and turned around, "How can you be so aggressive to the outside world?" Absurd! ”

China's foreign policy has probably gone through several rounds of changes, from the toughness of the Han and Tang dynasties to the weakness of the Great Song Dynasty, which is basically related to the value of force.

During the Han and Tang dynasties, martial arts were at their peak, and the envoys who went out were all coaxed by cattle.

What? How dare you disobey the big man? Kill you!

A mission of a few dozen people dares to run rampant in a foreign country, and behind this toughness is the strength of the army. And the consequence of a strong army is that the people's self-confidence is strong.

Be nice, or my brother will kill you!

This was the starting point of foreign policy in the Han and Tang dynasties.

Let's sit down and talk, if you can't do business, if you have money, it's the king!

This was the foreign policy of the Great Song Dynasty.

When he was in Bianliang, Shen An gave a vivid metaphor to this policy: a turtle with a shrunken head.

In Shen An's view, Huaxia has never been such a reluctant character, but when the force is insufficient, he can only choose weakness.

But the weakness of the Great Song Dynasty has some meaning of self-abandonment of martial arts, and the vigilance and suppression of martial artists make Waiyi laugh wildly, thinking that this kind of self-harm is really funny.

To restore confidence, to change the status quo, it is necessary to induce it.

The merchants were a little annoyed, thinking that Wang Yan had spoken too much.

"This is ......"

But the merchant's caution led them to inquire about Wang Yan's identity first.

Chen Ang had been watching from the sidelines, and at this time he coughed dryly and said, "This is the Yanei of Wang Jinggong's family." ”

After rejecting Zhao Zhen's many appointments, Wang Anshi's reputation has soared, and now he is no longer Wuxia Ameng.

"I've seen Yanai."

The merchants bowed, but their voices were a little uneven.

This is contempt.

This is Hangzhou, not Bianliang, and Wang Anshi's hand can't reach out, so businessmen are not interested in taking care of a yamen.

Wang Yan smiled, and Chen Ang said: "On this trip to the south, Yuan Ze is a helper of so-and-so. ”

Feng Jin's eyes were cold, and he asked: "The affairs of the city department are complicated, since you have come to inspect on behalf of the official family, you can go, and you will be entangled in some official business, so you will not accompany you." ”

To deal with this kind of officials who come down to inspect, the general routine is to entertain with good food and drink, play in the green building, swim in the scenic spots, and finally send some benefits before leaving.

Today, Feng Jin brought them to Wushan to play, and there were some programs later, but Feng Jin was impatient.

Brother is not accompanied, you can play at home.

Chen Ang glanced at Wang Yan and had a headache.

did not reveal the intention, lied that he was here to inspect, and then observed the situation in Hangzhou, this was Wang Yan's suggestion.

They have been inquiring about the situation of the city company for the past few days, and because they claim to be an inspection, no one hides anything.

In these years, as long as it is not a major problem, no one cares about it.

The people who come down from above will not have much to do, and the so-called county officials are not as good as the current management.

The officials above came to see and leave, but it was the officials above their heads who were really in charge.

At this point, Chen Ang had no choice but to say: "Feng Zhizhou stays." ”

Feng Jin frowned and turned around: "What else is going on?" ”

He glanced at Wang Yan, and thought that when he went out, he would bring Wang Anshi's family to see the world.

As for the inspection...... That's just a joke.

Chen Ang arched his hand and said apologetically: "I forgot to tell Feng Zhizhou that I had just received the documents before, and the official family ordered a certain to coordinate the three divisions......"

The three divisions here refer to the three city divisions of Guangzhou, Mingzhou and Hangzhou, referred to as the three divisions.

There is also a third department in the DPRK and China, which is the central department.

Feng Jin's face turned red all of a sudden.

It's too much!

He originally thought that Chen Ang was coming down to gild and relax by the way, so he was a little lazy.

But Chen Ang has now found out the paperwork, and he doesn't want to read it.

The Great Song Dynasty was still in its 'prosperous period' at this time, so naturally no official would dare to be crowned a monkey and cheat in the officialdom.

yes, he figured it out.

Chen Ang came to the south with the post of the head of the three divisions, which was to facilitate the suppression of the three city divisions.

He said angrily: "Is Chen Tuiguan trying to humiliate someone?" ”

Chen Ang thought to himself that this was all Wang Yan's kid's idea, and it had nothing to do with so-and-so.

He smiled wryly: "It's not selfish. ”

I'm not targeting you.

This is a statement.

……

The third is sent, good night.
