When twilight fell, the main hall of the Han family was brightly lit, and Han Gang, who had never liked banquets, rarely set up a banquet to entertain guests, although there was no music at the banquet, but it was lively enough.

Over the years, Han Gang has served in many places inside and outside Beijing, and has recommended many officials to come out, and in Han Gang's Mansion, there are also more than a dozen disciples, plus the disciples of Qi Learning, there are even more numerous. However, there are only a few people who can afford Han Gang's banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust, and Huang Shang is one of them.

After Han Gang was transferred from Hedong to Taichang Temple, Huang Shang also resigned from his assignment in Hedong, but he did not immediately follow Han Gang back to the capital, but returned to his hometown first. When it was almost winter, I returned to the capital. Han Gang has always valued Huang Shang, and when he entered Beijing, he set up a banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust.

After the banquet, Han Gang entertained Huang Sheng in the study, held tea, and sat down to talk.

I haven't seen him for half a year, and Huang Shanghei has lost a little weight. From Hedong to Fujian, and then from Fujian to Beijing, traveling thousands of miles, it is normal to have such changes in appearance. But it looks very energetic.

"This time Mian Zhong entered Beijing, did he stay until two years later?" Han Gang asked Huang Shang.

Huang Sheng nodded and said, "Actually, it's only been a year and a half." The dissociation test is only one year. Time is running out. ”

"That's right, it's not been long." It seems that Huang Shang is not ready to wait for Que to come out to do things before the exam, and he has to concentrate on preparing for the imperial examination, Han Gang said with a smile, "But with the material of Mian Zhong, the accumulation of thick and thin, this subject will definitely be able to go to high school." ”

"Thank you Long Tu Jiyan." Huang Sheng bowed his head and thanked Han Gang.

Sitting and drinking a cup of tea, Han Gang asked Huang Shang: "Mian Zhong returned to his hometown this time, how was the harvest in Fujian and Jiangnan this autumn that he saw along the way?" ”

"This year's wind and rain are smooth, and it is another good year, and all roads are full of rice. It is Fujian, which only relies on 600,000 stone rice from Guangxi by sea, and has made up for the deficit in grain along the way. Huang Shang first said two good words, "But I'm worried that the grain will hurt the farmers, this year's regular liquidation everywhere has been full, if there is still a bumper harvest next year, the price of grain will definitely fall sharply...... In fact, the price of wine in Jiangnan has fallen by more than 30% this year. ”

"Thirty percent? Why so many? ”

It is normal for wine to be made by grain, and it is normal for the price of wine to rise when there is little grain in a famine year, and there is more grain in a good year, and the price of wine to fall. However, there are also many people who drink alcohol in good years, and in such a year, the price of alcohol falls by 30%, and this number will inevitably increase.

Han Gang also has a headache, if it is still a good year next year, grain prices will inevitably fall. The best way to do this is to build water conservancy or transportation and other work services, and consume some money and grain to stabilize food prices next year. If you learn the rule of Wenjing, the grain will rot in the warehouse, and the rope of stringing money will rot together, it will be too wasteful. At the current level of storage, the rice in four or five years will already be black and rotten, and it is enough to guarantee three years of accumulation.

It's just that this problem can only give the Son of Heaven and the Political Affairs Hall a headache, Han Gang is in his current position, but he can't even insert a word, and he is not qualified to intervene, and it is serious to do the current work well.

Huang Shang also knew that Han Gang's current position could not intervene in these matters, and he did not mention it more, and said: "When I went to Beijing and passed through Jinling, Huang Shang visited the minister of Jiefu and brought a letter back. ”

Han Gang had heard that Huang Sheng had gone to Banshan Garden, Huang Shang was Han Gang's doorman, and when he went down from the southeast of the river, Han Gang asked him to bring letters and gifts to Wang Anshi by the way. However, the main thing is to introduce Huang Sheng to Wang Anshi. Through SF Express and his own staff, the correspondence between Han Gang and Wang Anshi can basically be contacted once every two months, and there is no need to borrow the hands of outsiders to communicate. But he didn't expect Huang Sheng to visit Mid-Levels Park again when he returned.

"What did Jiayue say?"

"Xianggong Jiefu just talked to Huang Sheng about some topics of word interpretation." Huang Shang replied.

"How?"

"Xianggong Jiefu has read a lot of Buddhist scriptures in recent years......" Huang Sheng shook his head, "There are many words that are not in line with the ancient meaning." ”

Han Gang's expression moved: "The matter of "Words Say" and Yinxu, have you heard of Mian Zhong?" ”

"I heard about it in the post house in Nanjing." Huang Shang said in a deep voice, "Duan Ming compiled the "Pharmacopoeia" and happened to receive the oracle bones of Xiangzhou, which is really the will of heaven. ”

"It's just luck." Han Gang smiled, and took out a few oracle bones left at home and showed them to Huang Shang, "More are still in the Editing Bureau, if Mian Zhong has Yaxing, he can go to the Editing Bureau...... It's in Taijoji Temple. ”

Huang Shang now regarded himself as a disciple of Qi Learning, and squinted at it for a while with the oracle bone inscription before putting it down. said to Han Gang: "It's not Duanming, there really won't be a few people who can notice." There are some knowledgeable doctors, but who will examine the medicinal herbs. After a pause, he said, "I heard that many elders have asked the Son of Heaven to decide to excavate Yin Ruins as soon as possible,"

"There are a lot of people who have written books, but the Son of Heaven has not yet made up his mind."

After the fall of Western Xia, the old ministers who asked to excavate the Yin Ruins had more and more advantages in implementing the new law, which had been recognized by most scholars in the world, and strengthened the confidence of the Son of Heaven a hundred times. As a result, it is completely unrealistic to shake the new law. A cadre of old ministers who have been away from the court for more than ten years is unlikely to have much opportunity to attack the new law. If the old tune is repeated, what are the people's grievances, the bumper harvest in the world in the past few years can also make their old faces lose all. The opportunity that Han Gang is giving them now can be said to be the only opportunity for many years, that is, just to vent old grievances, they will not let it go, and they are not against the new law, and the Son of Heaven is helpless.

So Huang Sheng smiled: "I can't delay it for long." ”

"It's true that it won't last long, in a few days, the news will spread all over the world, I'm afraid that all the tomb robbers in Chang'an and Luoyang will go to Anyang." Han Gang laughed in a low voice.

"Then isn't it difficult for Han Zhongxian to live in peace?"

"Probably not." No matter how bold he is, no one will dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head. How many years has Han Qi been dead? The court and descendants are watching, "But it is not ruled out that the Han family used this matter as an excuse to oppose the excavation of Yin Ruins...... After all, it was in Anyang. ”

"Han Zhongxian's family will object?"

"The Han family's industry is half a state, of course, they will not want to see the imperial court digging a pit in his family's field. After all, it was Yin Ruins, not a two-story tomb, but a capital city two thousand years ago. Once the imperial court decides to excavate the Yin Ruins, the losses of the Han family will not be few. ”

Han Qi was born in Anyang, and he was born in three dynasties and two emperors, and the original rule that officials were not allowed to serve as officials in their own nationality made an exception for him four times. When Han Qi died of illness while judging Xiangzhou, the surname of Xiangzhou Zhizhou who took over was Han Ming Masahiko, who was Han Qi's nephew - the reason why he didn't let his son take over was because he had to keep filial piety for three years - for Han Qi's family, several sons of heaven have given enough face.

Thirty percent of the fields in Xiangzhou—and the best ones—belong to the Han family, and half of the shops in Xiangzhou counties are inseparable from the Han family, but most of these industries use the means of false consignment and are placed in the names of others, so they don't look so dazzling. It's just that this kind of information, you don't need to bother to check it at all, go to the restaurant and tea shop in Xiangzhou, and you can find out if you inquire casually. Han Gang originally thought that Han Qi's son and son-in-law would come to him, but these days, there has been no movement.

Han Gang continued: "If the Yin Ruins are excavated, most of Han Zhongxian's family will oppose it. Once the Han family said that this move disturbed the ancestors, the Son of Heaven might push the boat along the way. For the Han family, the loss of tenant rent is still a trivial matter, in case someone first accuses the Han family of secretly hiding the sacrifice vessel of the Son of Heaven of Yin Shang, that is, the yellow mud falls on the crotch of the pants, even if the crime can be washed away, at least a layer of skin must be removed. And the tree is big and has withered branches, the Xiangzhou Han family has a big business, a large population, and there are not a few descendants, if there is a greedy for money and profit, it can drag thousands of people up and down the family into it. ”

Although the opposition of the Han family was almost inevitable, Han Gang didn't care about it.

The Han family is prosperous, although so many industries in Xiangzhou belong to the Han family, but the number of people who rely on the Han family to eat up and down is also an extremely large number, and they have to maintain the dignity of the Han family, and the annual income from taxes, trade, and loans can only be said to be barely enough. It is inevitable that the children of the Han family want to enjoy and do some improper business.

Do you really think that no one has found those antiques in Anyang for thousands of years? That's a joke. What has not been noticed are oracle bone inscriptions, Yin Shang bronzes and pottery, which have been excavated hundreds of years earlier. The people sent by Han Gang to Xiangzhou, in addition to collecting the oracle bones for divination, also acquired two bronze ritual vessels of Yin Shang, which is proof of this.

Although SF Express has no dealings with the commercial houses under Han Qi's family, there are still two or three merchants who do business with them. Through them, Han Gang knows a lot about some of the situation of Han Qi's family - not only the Han family in Xiangzhou, but also fifty or sixty percent of the wealthy families in China, Han Gang can know it in his heart, and he knows it better than the emperor and the government.

As long as this problem is grasped, even Han Qi's resurrection will not be able to solve it, as more and more ritual weapons are excavated from the ground, the less room for maneuver will be given to the Son of Heaven and the Han family in Xiangzhou, and sooner or later Han Gang will have to compromise.

There are thousands of artifacts that can be found in a city, and they are too many to count. It is impossible for the Han family in Xiangzhou to cover up, with the passage of time, the reputation of Yinxu will become bigger and bigger, and there will be more and more relics of Yinxu excavated at that time, in this case, the Son of Heaven cannot completely suppress the fait accompli by his own mind, and does not necessarily need the same evidence as Simu Wu Dafangding.

However, if you can really excavate thousands of pounds of ritual vessels from the ground, the world will be a sensation at that time, not to mention "Words Say", even the Son of Heaven has to bow his head. It is an ancient artifact than the jade seal of the country, and when it is placed in the temple or the southern suburbs to worship the sky, the Son of Heaven also has a light on his face.

When the Witnesses are all over the world, the facts cannot be erased, and the power of the Son of Heaven cannot be done about them.
