Chapter 497: Zaiquan Ventilation
Shandong, Laizhou Prefecture, Jimo County, Jinkou Port. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info?
A long, narrow, strange-looking Western sailing ship slowly sailed into the port, because it was the off-season of maritime trade, although there were many ships moored in the port, but the dock was deserted and there were few people, and the arrival of this ship did not attract the attention of many people.
After hearing about it, a few maritime merchants watched from afar, and the maritime merchants of Jinkou Port traveled south and north to see a lot of knowledge, and all of them knew that this was a Western crow trafficker. The smuggling boats, these days, no one wants to be contaminated with those trafficking crows. pieces of smuggling boats.
After the Opium War, with the signing of the Treaty of Jiangning, the Sino-French Treaty of Tianjin, and the Sino-American Treaty of Tianjin, the opium trade was officially outlawed. The pieces of anti-smuggling are quite hard, not only for political achievements but also for silver, as long as they can catch a crow. A piece of smuggling boat, the silver ran into the house by itself as if it had long legs, who didn't work hard?
On the bow deck, wrapped in a cotton coat, wearing a big fur hat, wrapped tightly and contentedly, looking at this T-shaped bay that is completely unfamiliar to him, here is the largest trading port in Shandong, the largest bean stone distribution center in Shandong, it seems that there is no prosperity and liveliness as he imagined, maybe it is because of the off-season, but this T-shaped bay is a natural harbor.
However, judging from the ice floes on the sea, this harbor also has the possibility of freezing, and it is also a little smaller, which cannot be compared with Jiaozhou Bay.
Bai Zhi, who was also tightly wrapped up and down, held his arm and stood side by side with him, with a faint smile on his face, absolutely no one could have thought that this woman with a bit of heroic eyebrows was the eldest disciple and right-hand man of the Ten Lands of the Qinglian Sect.
At least Yu Taifeng, the owner of the "Yu Sensheng" sand boat line, didn't see it, in his eyes, Bai Zhi was just a little concubine who was quite spoiled by Yi Zhicontent, he was invited by Yi Zhicontent, and came with the ship, as the owner of the "Yu Sensheng" sand boat line, he was very familiar with the coastal area of Shandong.
"Sir, this is the ...... Jinkou Port." He pointed to the shore and said: "Most of the beans and stones in Shandong are loaded from here to the south, and now it is the off-season, it is deserted, and if it is the peak season, it is quite lively." ”
"It's a nice harbor." Yi Zhizhi said and asked the question in his heart, "Jiaozhou Bay is better than here, why ......?" ”
Yu Taifeng smiled when he heard this, "Jiaozhou Bay is good, Jiaozhou Bay was originally more prosperous than here, but due to the silting up of Jiaolai River and other rivers due to sand, it is gradually declining." ”
Silted up by sand? Yi Zhishu was a little surprised, and said with a slight sigh: "When we return, let's go to Jiaozhou Bay to have a look." ”
"Is the lord interested in Jiaozhou Bay?" Yu Taifeng said with a smile: "If you don't inquire about the situation in Jiaozhou Bay during this time, you will be idle anyway." ”
Yi Zhishu didn't know when he would be able to leave Beijing this time, so he thought about it and said: "The New Year is approaching, so Shopkeeper Yu doesn't worry about his family?" ”
Finally had such an opportunity to get closer to Yi Zhifen, where would Yu Taifeng care about the New Year, and immediately smiled: "The lord said that he was joking, although he was the master of the line, he often went to sea, besides, when he came out with the lord, the family would not worry, and he would wait for the lord here." ”
Yi Zhizhi is not pretentious, and said: "Then there is Lao Yu's shopkeeper." ”
"Don't be polite, sir." Yu Taifeng hurriedly said.
The boat slowly approached the dock, Bai Zhi pinched Yi Zhizhi vigilantly, and reminded softly: "Something is wrong, the expressions of the people on the dock seem to be a little gloating......." ”
Yi Zhishu also saw that something was wrong with the situation, how did he know that people treated them as crows. The filmseller, however, with Yu Taifeng here, he was not worried, and there was also one of his guard platoons on the boat, so he immediately said softly: "Don't worry." ”
"Yu Sensheng" sand ship line in Jinkou Port all the year round, Yu Taifeng as soon as he boarded the dock, there were sharp-eyed maritime merchants recognized him, and hurriedly walked up to meet him, Yi Zhicontentment, Bai Zhi did not get off the ship, on the deck coldly watched, Yu Taifeng and a group of maritime merchants greeted warmly, and someone commanded the sailors to come up to help, he was relieved.
Bai Zhi also relaxed, and then asked: "Why is the lord so interested in Jiaozhou Bay, and has a fancy for Jiaozhou Bay?" ”
"Jiaozhou Bay is a good place." Yi Zhizhi said noncommittally, and turned his head as he spoke, "The boundary of Shandong will not be as chaotic as you say, right?" ”
"Since ancient times, there have been many ringing horses in Shandong, and the lord has never heard of this?" Bai Zhi glanced at him coquettishly, "It's cold, when people are willing to accompany you to endure hardships." ”
Yi Zhishu suddenly thought of a very critical question, and hurriedly asked, "Do you know how to ride a horse?" ”
Bai Zhi raised her eyebrows provocatively, "Do you want to try it and see whose riding skills are better?" ”
"Good!" Yi Zhixin said happily: "If you win, I will ride you, and if you lose, you will ride me." ”
Bai Zhi sneered and said, "The lord also has a time when he is not serious? ”
This woman has had that relationship with him, as if she has changed a person, she used to be cold, and it was difficult to see her smile all the year round, but now she not only loves to laugh, but also learned to be coquettish, and it is really inappropriate for a while, but no matter what, it is better than her cold face, this time in Beijing, I heard that he was going to take Shandong, Bai Zhi pestered to follow, saying that the boundary of Shandong is not safe.
For the situation in Shandong, Yi Zhicontent really doesn't know much, but he has heard the words of many ringing horses in Shandong since ancient times, and the White Lotus Sect was also fierce in Shandong back then, he doesn't know whether the Qinglian Sect and the green forests on the ground in Shandong maintain close contact, since Bai Zhi wants to follow, she is simply left to her, and it is also a great pleasure to have beauty along the way.
Yi Zhifu didn't have the heart to socialize with Shandong maritime merchants, even if he wanted to entertain, he had to wait until the time he returned, Yu Taifeng did not reveal his identity, but did his best to arrange enough horses for him, Shandong already produced horses, and it was not difficult to raise horses.
Only stopped in Jinkou Port for a day, Yi Zhizhi hurriedly set off to Beijing, along the way he did not show the flag, he did not like the officialdom to usher in that set, and did not have the heart to socialize with officials who did not know each other, naturally more than one thing is better than less thing, after Jinan, he began to stay at the post station along the way, after all, the post station is not only convenient but also saves a lot of trouble.
From Jimo to Jingshi, looking not far, in fact, it is more than a thousand miles, Yi Zhicontent and his party rode horses and ran for half a month before arriving at Jingshi, and saw the tall city wall of Jingshi from afar, he slightly pulled the reins, slowed down the horse, followed Bai Zhi behind him and made a gesture backwards, so that the guards distanced, and then rode forward, galloped side by side with him, and said with concern: "Cowardly? ”
After glancing back, Yi Zhizhi said: "Don't go to Beijing, I have a garden in Haidian, you go there and wait." ”
Bai Zhi naturally understood that this arrangement was just in case, if there was really any accident, there would be a response, and immediately said cheerfully: "Okay!" However, the arranger delivers the message. ”
Yi Zhizhi lived in the Huanghua Station, and only then did he clean up and stop when he heard the news: "The king of Dingjun is here." ”
Wang Zaiquan of Dingjun, the leader of the four major factions in the DPRK and the clan and the noble faction, heard that he was coming, Yi Zhizhi did not react for a while, could it be that this rush to summon him to Beijing was related to the factional dispute in the court? But he has never been involved in the party's struggle, and when he went out, as soon as he met, Zaiquan said with a spring breeze on his face: "It's cold, it's hard to walk along the way, right?" ”
Yi Zhizhi said with a smile after seeing the salute: "Thanks to the prince's blessing, everything is going well." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gave way.
When the two entered the room, Zaiquan smiled and said: "Guocheng is now a first-class member, why hasn't he gotten married?" ”
Why do you ask about this? Yi Zhixiang was very surprised, smiled, and said: "I'm not afraid of the prince laughing, the lower officials are affected by the free marriage of Western learning, and they have always hoped to find a favorite woman as their wife. ”
Zaiquan's original intention was to see if the other party was engaged, but I didn't expect it to be such a result, and I couldn't help but be a free marriage? After a slight pause, he swallowed a smile, "Guocheng is really a wonderful person, the good women in this world are locked in the deep boudoir compound, how can Guocheng be found?" ”
"That's why I advocate that women go out of the house and participate in work." Yi Zhizhi said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry, look for it slowly, this is a lifelong thing, and you can't be wronged." ”
Yi Zhi's contentment in Guangzhou used a large number of female silk reeling workers, and with the help of newspapers to promote women's rights, the establishment of women's schools, and the Western-style Mongolian school opened in Guangzhou Prefecture and County also recruited girls.
However, the other party's attitude made Zaiquan feel a little tricky, with the other party's status, status and age, he has not been married for a long time, and the elders in the family don't know what they will be in a hurry, and the other party can withstand it, it seems that in the matter of marriage, it is not an ordinary toughness.
With a slight groan, he stopped going around in circles, and said straight to the point: "The holy family of the national city is deep, the emperor heard that the national city is still unmarried, and the king specially selected a woman from the clan to marry the national city!" ”
The emperor refers to marriage? Yi Zhizhi was stunned, he really didn't expect that Daoguang would actually give him a marriage! The daughter of the clan, the Manchu and Han do not intermarry, which means that they have to carry the flag of nationality, it seems that Daoguang is not only not at ease with the Nanyang Navy, but also with Yuan Qi, otherwise he would not use marriage to tie him, thousands of miles of ice, but let him hurry thousands of miles into Beijing immediately, it can be seen how urgent Daoguang's mind is!
Zaiquan hurriedly came to see Yi Zhicontent, in order to ventilate, and by the way, also test the other party's attitude, the emperor pointed out that marriage, it is not a trivial matter, if something happens, including him, everyone has not had a good life, seeing that the other party was stunned and silent, he hesitated, and then said: "The person was personally selected, the great-granddaughter of Prince Rongchun, the fifth son of Emperor Gaozong, Prince Rongchun Aixin Jueluo Yongqi - the third daughter of Rong Beile Yihua, whose mother is the ...... of Gu Taiqing of Fujin. ”
"Side Fujin?" Yi Zhizu subconsciously asked, he was disgusted and wanted to pick a thorn.
Zaiquan smiled, "Guocheng may not know the situation of the clan very well, the Han people are monogamous and polygamous, the clan is polygamous and polygamous, and the side Fujin is not a concubine, but the same wife, not a concubine, but the Ming media is marrying the same to hold a wedding, but the ceremony is slightly reduced compared to Chang Fujin."
Fang Fujin also has a dowry, his parents and their mother's family are the same as Chang Fujin, they are relatives, and the children born of Fang Fujin are called Fang Fujin as Eniang, and Chang Fujin is called Chang Fujin as Chang Eniang. What's more, the name of the side Fujin is from the upper sect Yudie.
Let's just say that Gu Taiqing, although he is a side Fujin, his status is not low, and he is the granddaughter of Gansu Governor Echang, the nephew of Ertai, the university scholar Wenduangong. ”
The reason why Zaiquan patiently explained was that he was afraid that Yi Zhixin would misunderstand, at the beginning, Daoguang instructed him to choose a suitable clan woman, but the instructions were very clear, identity, appearance, and conduct must be the best choice, and what he was afraid of was Yi Zhisang's grievances.
Yi Zhishu really didn't know that the identity of Fang Fujin was actually the Jade Butterfly of the Upper Sect, in fact, only this one is enough, and the identity of the Jade Butterfly who can go to the Sect Jade Butterfly cannot be low, the university scholar Ertai, he has heard of it, Echang, he doesn't know.
However, no matter what the identity of this woman is, he is extremely reluctant to refer to marriage in his heart, he does not say a word, takes out a cigar, lights it slowly, smokes silently, and does not speak.
Seeing him like this, Zaiquan was also speechless, this guy is bold, it's not a forced thing, if he doesn't accept it willingly, this errand may be messed up, with this guy's guts, what can't be done?
At the beginning, I thought this was a beautiful difference, I knew that it was so, and I had to push it off anyway, and after a while, he said: "The flag woman is not like a Han woman, there are not so many rules, and it is common to show up. ”
After holding back for a long time, Yi Zhishu finally found an excuse, "The flag people and women are all big-footed." ”
Listening to this, Zaiquan has the heart to scold his mother, the flag woman does not bind her feet, from Shunzhi to Daoguang, the emperors of all dynasties have made three orders, and the flag girl is not allowed to bind her feet, let alone the clan woman, where can he go to find a clan beauty with small feet to come out? This kid simply doesn't know what to do, the woman of the clan is married, he actually dislikes it as a big foot, this word is going to get out, and the girl of the Jingshi Banner drowns him with spit!
Seeing that Zaiquan's nose is not a nose and his eyes are not eyes, Yi Zhizhi also knows that he can't go too far, and it is clear that Daoguang intends to turn him into a member of the banner people through marriage and become a relative of the emperor, so as to envelop him in exchange for him to work for the royal family, if he dares to refuse without knowing each other, he is afraid that he will not have a chance to leave the Beijing Division, even if he can leave the Beijing Division, it is estimated that Daoguang will recklessly attack Yuan Qi.
Forbearance, forbearance is necessary, isn't it just marrying a clan woman, what's the big deal, there are fewer women in your own country! After relieving himself for a while, he said: "The prince looks at the arrangement, don't be too obvious, Xia Guan has no experience in blind dates." (To be continued.) )8
