199 The weakness of the High Judge
Happy times are always short-lived, and Shui Huyi happened to have a ship to go back to Jinmingchi to load goods, and Fu Ji had to simply pack up and go with the ship.
Standing on the boat tower and looking at this side from afar, Hong Tao also made a full set of acts, personally sent her to the dock, as long as she was still in sight, she stood on the pier and waved to the boat.
"Don't be too kind to your subordinates, Mrs. Lian is the eldest princess's personal maid, there is nothing to blame, but Fu Ji and the adults are not in the right household, rash engagement may attract Your Majesty's thunder......"
At this time, Gao Cuifeng's voice came from behind him, he had been given the title of Jinshi by the emperor and appointed as the judge of Tidian, that is, the deputy of the Dian Supervisor, which can be regarded as completing the sublimation from a commoner to an official.
This jump was quite high, jumping up several levels in a row. Now he still doesn't know whether he reports the movements of the horses to Sima Guang at any time, but he does work hard for the construction of Weiqiao Town, basically no one is seen from morning to night, and every day he shuttles through the deep mountains and ravines with a few forbidden soldiers.
Every mine belonging to the Tidian Division must be recorded in detail, without his assistance, Hong Tao would not have had time to pretend to be an uncle behind his back to guide the country, and he would have to do all this work by himself.
"What does the high judge think this official should do?" It is said that loyalty is contrary to the ear, and Gao Cuifeng's words are not very popular. Hong Tao can understand it in his heart, but it is a little embarrassing to be said. Fortunately, he has no face at all, let alone embarrassment, and humbly asks for advice.
"If the situation compels you to do it, you can set up another door with it in Huangzhou. Thinking about being the eldest princess, she will not easily go to Huangzhou to take risks. Gao Cuifeng is not thin-skinned, and he said it quite seriously, as if he was discussing national affairs.
"If the eldest princess learns that this is from your mouth, she will not give up." Hong Tao really wondered, how could he still persuade himself to raise an outer room, could this also be Sima Guang's plan, did he want to use this kind of thing to catch his pigtails and force himself to comply?
"Cuifeng is for adults, and if adults are honored, Cuifeng will be honored...... The same is true of the thousands of people here. Gao Cuifeng didn't feel sorry for the eldest princess at all, but persuaded Hong Tao to be good, and used the craftsmen and forbidden army here as bargaining chips, which was a bit coercive.
"This is a mistake, we are all serving Your Majesty, it should be said that Your Majesty is Rong, Song Rong, and it is Song Rong's turn to wait for Rong. Come on, don't talk to me here, have you ever set a standard for ore and coal? In a few days, the steel furnace will make a fire, if the supply of raw materials is not available, neither of us can be glorious, and it is fortunate not to lose our heads. ”
Hong Tao didn't dare to reveal his heart to Gao Cuifeng easily, he did his best, but this did not prevent him from being a wall-to-wall, and before he was absolutely sure, it was better for everyone to keep a certain distance.
"Please rest assured, all the miners were excited to hear that they could exchange ore for good iron, and they all prepared a blacksmith's forge, wanting to take the lead in producing iron for sale. This is not only the case in Jingzhao Prefecture, but also miners who collude with miners in other counties to privately transport ore for personal gain. With the adults' instructions in advance, Cuifeng has made the mine supervisors and mining affairs in various places not know in detail, and if they go, the first batch of ore of the Zhou family will arrive in the future. ”
Gao Cuifeng saw that the colt didn't want to talk more about this issue, so he simply didn't force it. He also understood the horse's thoughts, and it was difficult to trust a person who had been sent to spy on him. If you want to earn trust, you have to take it step by step, and getting the job done right is the first step.
"Is there any change in the local gentry?" The problem of raw materials was solved, and Hong Tao was basically relieved. However, with the precedent of Chongkai, he was still not very comfortable with the officials of Jingzhao Mansion.
Chong Kai has already been sent to prison by the Criminal Department, and after the trial is clear, his family will be raided or exiled, and his political life will basically be over. But the Chang'an clan has not been uprooted, and Hong Tao, the name of the three kinds, also heard Gao Cuifeng talk about it, and he was still a little scared when he thought about it.
Especially Chong'e, this person's reputation is not very good, and it is said that he is a ruthless person in the army. He got his cousin, and made the Chang'an clan disgraced and suffered heavy losses, and it is unlikely that he can give up.
"In a short period of time, they will not take the initiative to trouble the adults, there are more than a dozen officials in the court who resigned because of their efforts to protect the cultivation of Kai, and His Majesty also took the opportunity to rectify the rule of officials, and has dismissed hundreds of provinces, temples, and prisoners. At this time, the eyes of the government and the opposition were fixed on the adults, but they were much safer. ”
This is actually Gao Cuifeng's own job, analyzing the trends of the government and the opposition is much better than supervising the mining affairs, and he answered the question of the horse in a few words, and he had to attach his own opinions at the end.
Hong Tao felt that Gao Cuifeng's analysis was very correct, Emperor Shenzong was borrowing his strength to stir up the force, using himself as a-stirring stick, as long as he caught the problem, he would use the problem to play.
Where is he rectifying the rule of officials, he is basically paving the way for the next move. As long as he gets good news at the border, he will immediately bring out the wartime cabinet, and then get the wartime law step by step, and the future Great Song Dynasty will basically be under the control of him and three or two close ministers.
"Then borrow the auspicious words of the high judge, it won't take too long, three months is enough. At that time, even if someone wants to trouble the official, they will have to go to Huangzhou to start, and it is not up to them to play how they want. It's just that you still have to stay here and fight alone, will it hurt the pond fish? ”
Hong Tao is now very conflicted, he wants to find a way to increase his ability and opportunities, but he also doesn't want Emperor Shenzong to monopolize power too early. There is no way to get the best of both worlds, you can only wait and see how things develop, and take one step at a time.
As soon as the adults left, Cui Feng returned a part of the mine to the local officials and the new Yin clan of Jingzhao Mansion. At that time, everyone should also be able to see where the benefits are, and with Lord Wang's water tiger wings by his side, there will not be much trouble. As long as the adults are safe and sound in Huangzhou, Cuifeng will be as stable as Mount Tai. ”
As for what the colt was worried about, Gao Cuifeng felt that it was not worth mentioning. He still has the point just now, Weiqiao Town and even Wujin Xing and Qionglin Yuan by Jinming Pond are all closely related to one person, that is, the colt itself, and the others are irrelevant.
"Come on, since that's the case, I'll be a pioneer, and I'll be tired of Lao Cuifeng, and I'll help with Lord Wang. Without you delivering supplies in the back, my lord, I wouldn't be able to hammer out a few nails with iron. At this point, Hong Tao couldn't find any other way out, so he simply had a bold time, which could be regarded as encouraging Gao Cuifeng.
"Cuifeng will live up to the trust of adults, and his body will be shattered, and his liver and brain will be smeared...... It's just that the adults have to forget the book of the horse refining scriptures, and the proofreading can be completed at the end of the year, and the content in it is really eye-opening and open-minded! ”
Gao Cuifeng was not infected by the pride of the horse, he was not a person who was easy to be hot-blooded. can't say that, he is not enthusiastic about anything else, but when it comes to publishing a book, it is not clear whether the blood is hot or not, the spitting stars are indeed spewing out, and his eyebrows are dancing, and he is very excited.
"Lord Gao seems to be a little reluctant to seek the near and far, isn't this Wujin line in Weiqiao Town a place for ironmaking, the things I know are all placed in front of you here, from mining to coking, from ironmaking to forging armor, do you still need me to tell it? Why don't you do it yourself, and talk to the craftsmen if you don't understand it, you will definitely benefit a lot. At that time, don't don't practice the scriptures with horses, wouldn't it be happy to change them directly to Gao's alchemy? ”
Hong Tao can't take care of the horse series anymore, that thing is the product of the idle egg pain in Kaifeng City, and now his life may not be saved, where is the heart to write a book.
Even if you want to write, you have to wait until you become famous and return to Nanshan, and then you will carefully figure it out word by word with the princess and N confidantes.
But it's not good to directly break Gao Cuifeng's thoughts, he seems to be particularly fond of this. What to do? It's not a fool, it sounds really feasible.
“…… Cuifeng himself...... This, this, I'm afraid ......" This big pie almost smashed Gao Cuifeng into a concussion, and his tongue couldn't be straightened.
"What are you afraid of, just write, while writing someone to Huangzhou, I will help you check it. Don't be presumptuous, I'm optimistic about you......"
This is Gao Cuifeng's weakness, once he is caught by Hong Tao, he will be stabbed to death. What we have to do now is to slip away quickly, otherwise when Gao Cuifeng recovers, there will be countless ideas and ideas to ask, saying that it will not be finished overnight.
