922 Poyang Lake
Not only Wang Er, but many members of the promotion association felt that without the professor with his adoptive father by his side, the organization could govern independently. The end of the year is the best time, when the adoptive father is exactly 50th birthday, and it is time to retire and enjoy it. This is really not unfilial, it is all said by the adoptive father himself.
When everyone was young, he said all day long that when the country was governed well in the future, he would not do anything, but would specialize in trading to make a lot of money, and then buy a big boat, go to all over the world to catch big fish, and marry a beautiful woman from all over the world.
"You guys, you're still too anxious, alas......" Gao Cuifeng shook his head with a smile, and didn't refute Wang Er's words. These children, like when they were younger, always thought that they could see through everything.
Not only them, but also the young emperor sitting in the Zichen Palace, it is very dangerous to play like this, that is, the regent can tolerate it, and if it were any person in military power, he would have died a long time ago.
He had long known about the Huangzhou Society, and without any intelligence system, the craftsmen in the workshop did not jump out of the cracks in the stones, they came from all over the country, and many of them had been farming for generations, including landlords, tenants and displaced people.
What happened in his hometown, what happened to his family, the craftsmen could not go back, they could only talk about it in the workshop, at first it was whispered in private, and after a long time it became a semi-open secret, and some people even questioned it when he went down to inspect.
How to explain it? Gao Cuifeng couldn't be sure, but he knew that there would definitely be problems if he continued like this. However, his status limits his choice, and he is also an important cabinet minister, if he casually betrays his colleagues, even if it is right, it will be difficult to get involved in this government in the future.
Gao Cuifeng is very sure that even if the regent knows the inside story, he will not remove all the children of Wang Er from his post and investigate them, not because of family affection, but because of reality. Speaking from the heart, Gao Cuifeng also felt that these children were the pillars of the country, and he didn't want to see them thinking that a little thing would ruin his future.
Contradictions, entanglements, and hesitations are Gao Cuifeng's attitude in this matter, on the one hand, the people, on the other hand, colleagues and the country, on the other hand, on the other hand, and finally loyalty to the regent, this is no longer a two-choice one, but a four-choice or even more, it is really difficult to choose.
With his political wisdom, he felt that it was safer not to be elected than to be elected, and that it was the right way to wait and see what happened. In the end, whether the chaos is reversed or irreparable depends on which regent's ability. Anyway, he never disappointed, and I guess this time it was the same result.
The result really made Gao Cuifeng secretly happy, the regent knew about it earlier than he expected, and the way he handled it was surprisingly weird. He unknowingly ran to Jiangnan West Road, the hardest-hit area, and asked Wang Shi's subordinates to deliver the news, and for the first time used the privilege granted by the Promotion Society to hold a special meeting.
This series of combination punches not only stunned Wang Er and the others, but even his old fritters, who are known as the ministers of the opposition organizations, were confused. But one thing Gao Cuifeng can be sure of is that the regent does not plan to use force, otherwise it will not be Raozhou, it should be Youzhou, Liangzhou, Huangzhou or Yinzhou.
With the regent's local prestige and appeal, even if half of the new army defected, it would not help, and the number of local residents would be as loyal to the regent's new army as there were, and they would fight fiercely and not afraid of death. They protect not just a person, but their own home and a faith.
Although going to Raozhou will not be a big murderer, it will not be too bland, maybe something big will happen. For better or worse, Gao Cuifeng wanted to hurry up and see the regent's methods, that god-like man's ability to fight was unmatched, but he didn't show too much talent in the political struggle, and he didn't know if he would be lucky enough to see it.
"What if you're all gone?" Of course, Zhao Maid knew about the existence of the Promotion Society, and even knew about the Huangzhou Society, which was the pillar of his throne. Of course, he is also one of the main envoys of the Huangzhou Society, and in his bones he prefers the regent to retire earlier than Wang Er.
I shouldn't have thought so, my knowledge was taught by my uncle, my life was saved by my uncle, and even the throne was snatched back by my uncle. However, it really responded to the allusion that my uncle said, and promoted Mien to fight Mi Hate. The more favors he received, the less he admired his uncle, but the more he feared and held grudges.
Now I am even more afraid, most of the cabinet members have to be ordered to Raozhou to hold a special meeting, which makes Zhao Fu feel that his uncle is stronger than himself, and the emperor of this country does not seem to be himself. And after these courtiers are gone, how many days can they sit in this position?
"Your Majesty is assured that the special meeting is to deal with urgent matters within the Promotion Society, and has nothing to do with the imperial court. It is not a big problem for the imperial court to wait for more than a month for us to leave, there are no internal and external troubles at present, and the deputy will carry out the things that should be done step by step. ”
Wang Er felt that this emperor seemed to be getting more and more wasteful, and when he was planning together, he was eager to try, and his face turned pale as soon as something went wrong, and he trembled when he spoke. Not to mention talent, this courage alone is not enough to lead such a large country.
At the same time, I have to admit that the virtual emperor, reality, cabinet, and parliamentary system designed by my adoptive father is indeed prescient, and can make up for the shortcomings of a king to the greatest extent, even if he is a mediocre talent, the country will not be distorted.
Of course, if this system is finally fully realized and really plays a role, it will be difficult for a genius of governing the country like an adoptive father to appear in the future, and if there is, it will be difficult to give full play to his talents due to rules and regulations.
It is like the assembly line of the musket in the machine factory, no one is one of the links, no one can control the entire manufacturing process, can not make a work of art as exquisite as Wang Datou, and will not let the quality be too inferior, raising the lower limit, but also limiting the upper limit.
Regardless of whether Zhao Maid was happy or not, the next day, two teams of box cars left Kaifeng under the escort of the new army and galloped along the post road to Yangzhou. This section of the road is really not close, even if the road conditions are much better, and there are military posts along the way to exchange horses, which are more than twice as fast as the dart board, it will take about fifteen days to arrive.
The premise is not to catch up with the heavy rain and floods on the way, for the time being, the roads around the country are basically paved with rammed earth and gravel, only two north-south, one east-west main road has stone strips, not enough time, but the cost is too high, so high that Hongtao, the rich landowner, dare not promote it on a large scale.
In fact, the dirt road is not invested by him, and the infrastructure is boundless, and there is not enough money to spend. These roads are the result of the flickering of the promotion society in the past ten years, and the slogan of building roads first if you want to get rich has also been popularized in the Great Song Dynasty, and the most enthusiastic responders are merchants, cooperatives, and workshop owners from all over the world.
Wang Er's group of people were relatively lucky, they basically did not encounter wind and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and after crossing the river, they caught up with a few rains and did not affect the speed of travel, and finally entered Raozhou after half a month, and arrived at Yongping Prison in the east of Poyang County.
Poyang County, which is the seat of Raozhou governance, is located in the westernmost part of Jiangnan East Road, separated from Jiangnan West Road by a lake and swamp. That Zhen Dalang said that this body of water is called Yanglan Lake, it is said that the name originated from the Sui and Tang Dynasty famous minister Li Gang, but when it comes to Poyang County, the people call it Gongting Lake, because there is a high mountain named Lushan in the northwest of the lake, and there is an ancient temple at the foot of the mountain, called Gongting Temple, which is said to be very effective.
But on the map drawn by the New Army, this body of water has a new name, Poyang Lake. The name was decided by Hong Tao himself, and when he first saw Poyang County, he suspected that this body of water would be the largest freshwater lake in China in later generations, but he was not sure.
After all, thousands of years have passed, and some lakes have not yet been formed in later generations, and some may not be found in later generations. It wasn't until he found the name of Lushan on the surveying and mapping data that he decided that it was very likely to be Poyang Lake in later generations. Lakes can be formed in years, decades, mountains do not.
What are the specialties of Poyang Lake? The first thing that came to Hong Tao's mind was hairy crabs! Hairy crabs in Poyang Lake!
In later generations, many lake hairy crabs will be named Poyang Lake hairy crabs, and then their value will be doubled, Hong Tao will buy them every year, but he knows in his heart that even if Poyang Lake is big and full of crabs, it will definitely not be enough to sell it in large and medium-sized cities across the country.
