Chapter 489: Turbulent Undercurrent (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
******
The hall next to Momohado is divided into two halls, and the outside is a place where paintings and embroidery are exhibited, and both men and women can enter and visit.
As soon as the man entered the palace, he was about to stop, and that was where Gu Meiren in the palace used to receive female guests.
After reading the painting and embroidery, the woman who came to visit could enter the courtyard and ask Gu Meiren for advice.
Gu Hanyan is dressed in palace clothes, gentle as water, and elegant as poetry, but whenever a woman enters the courtyard to ask for advice, she is gentle and patiently explains.
This is the first day of the painting and embroidery exhibition, come in to visit, basically are some celebrities and ladies and daughters, flowers, flowers, all the flowers into a array, such an occasion, naturally indispensable thousands of pampered collection of Hunan concubine Niangniang.
Xianyun is clever, the starry eyes are looking forward to it, Yun Qiaoer is also dressed in palace clothes, Wan Wan Tingting thirteen or fourteen, about her daughter's waist is as weak as the willow in early spring;
She is an average embroiderer, but her mouth can speak, and she helps explain on the side, which makes the gentle and shy Gu Hanyan a lot easier.
After Xu Ruoshi finished reading the painting and embroidery, she was deeply fascinated by this elegant skill and also entered the courtyard;
But she soon found that the courtyard had obviously become a place for the daughters of noble ladies to climb and please Gu and Yun, and the words of admiration and flattery were endless, and there were few people who really calmed down to ask for painting and embroidery skills, which made her frown secretly, and stood aside quietly, without squeezing up.
Xu Yongshun and Han Zanzhou outside are old acquaintances. Some time ago, after being beaten by Qin Mu, although Han Zanzhou deliberately distanced himself from Xu Yongshun and other powerful people of the previous dynasty, in general, he is not as happy now, and he does not have the power of the eunuchs of the former dynasty at all.
Invisibly, he and Xu Yongshun and others inevitably felt a sense of sympathy, and the matter of this exhibition was not a secret, so Han Zanzhou informed Xu Yongshun of the situation one by one.
Originally, this kind of painting and embroidery exhibition should be highly sought after by readers, but there are not many readers who come to visit today.
Xu Yongshun became interested when he heard this. Hehe, what you resist is what I pursue and support! What is this called, the poor festival is now more prepared to say, this is the wind knows the strength of the grass, and the board knows the loyal ministers
"Father-in-law Han rest assured, since you are always presiding over this matter, the younger generation naturally has to fully support the father-in-law, so that the father-in-law can hold the painting and embroidery exhibition decently."
Xu Yongshun is young, in this turbulent year in the world. can support the big Xu family, and they are not idle.
He is anxious about what people are anxious about, thinking about what people think, for Han Zanzhou, the most important thing at the moment is to do a good job in the embroidery exhibition that King Qin explained;
He was fortunate to participate in the discussion between King Qin and Sima An, and naturally understood how important this matter was to King Qin, and Xu Yongshun fully supported him to organize this painting and embroidery exhibition, which naturally made him grateful.
"It's a chapter. What are your ideas? ”
Chengzhang is Xu Yongshun's word, Han Zanzhou called very kindly, Xu Yongshun smiled and said: "Father-in-law, King Qin asked you to preside over this painting and embroidery exhibition." It shows that King Qin attaches great importance to this painting and embroidery exhibition, and King Qin probably wants to enhance his influence through this move and lay out the future things. ”
"Don't hide it. And so it is. ”
"Father-in-law, isn't it just to enhance your influence, those rotten sour Ding won't come. There's no way to increase your influence? It is true that they come to make a few poems and spread the word, and this influence is certainly not small, but without them, we can still achieve this goal through other means. ”
"Is there any way, come quickly."

Wuyi Lane. Since ancient times, it has been a place where high-ranking officials and dignitaries gathered.
The cabinet assistant Zhuge Min's mansion is located in Wuyi Lane, this luxurious mansion, was originally the Hongguang Dynasty cabinet assistant minister Wang Duo's mansion, Wang Duo and Qian Qianyi and others after the Qing Dynasty, was raided together, this mansion was given to Zhuge Min by Qin Mu.
The red walls and green tiles of the whole house are exquisitely carved, the pavilions and pavilions in the garden are all built near the water, and some pavilions are straight out of the water, full of the characteristics of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
The pond water in the garden is clear and broad, lotus flowers are planted all over, the wind pavilion is shaded by the trees, and the vines on the waterfront are draped, although it is only the early spring, but there is no lack of scenery in the garden.
As a hot cabinet assistant, there are naturally countless people who come to pay homage with various purposes on weekdays, Zhuge Min has always been relatively low-key, but in a high position, it is inevitable that he will have to make some entertainment.
On the pavilion, Zhuge Min and the imperial officials Ma Weizhong and Shen Qingyang who came to visit sat opposite each other and drank, the spring cold was still there, but the interest of the three of them was not reduced, and several maids next to them frequently poured wine.
"Pavilion Elder, this time King Qin is afraid that he is going to move the True Pavilion." Ma Weizhong said with a slightly worried expression.
Shen Qingyang immediately said: "Valuing agriculture and suppressing commerce is the fundamental national policy of all dynasties, and now King Qin wants to transfer private capital to industry and commerce, which is a move to shake the country's foundation." Businessmen do not engage in production, value profit over righteousness, and opportunism is not gained. Whenever there is a disaster, the merchants will hoard Juqi, raise prices, harm the country and the people, and seek personal gains. ”
Zhuge Min stroked his beard with one hand and said calmly: "Don't be excited, the king of Qin just has this idea now, and he hasn't put it into practice, and there is still room for things to turn around." ”
"Oh Ge Lao, the people take food as the sky, agriculture is the foundation of the country, and only by attaching importance to the country can the people live and work in peace and contentment, the people are prosperous, and the treasury granary is full, so that there is no food shortage and turmoil inside, and there is no worry about intrusion outside.
King Qin has this intention in his heart, it is a dangerous thing, and now it is to let the beauties in the palace come out to do what embroidery, painting and embroidery, this clue has appeared, the pavilion is the pillar of the country, and the fault of the monarch is correct. ”
"Yes, since ancient times, women have three virtues and four virtues, and the King of Qin wants to recruit women as doctors, and what kind of women's education does he have to run, isn't this a bad program? Will there be peace in this world in the future? ”
Zhuge Min sighed lightly: "Don't hide it from the two of you, the old man has already persuaded King Qin, but alas." ”
The imperial court set up the imperial officials and gave affairs, which was originally to bear the fault of Kuang Jun and refute the improper responsibility of the ministers and ministers. The more Ma Weizhong and Shen Qingyang talked, the more excited they became, and they had a great attitude of taking the world as their own responsibility.
Ma Weizhong said generously: "The lower official will contact his colleagues and write a book together." ”
"Okay, go to the lower officials too." Shen Qingyang followed suit.
Zhuge Min didn't seem to say anything, but he invisibly put Ma Weizhong and Shen Qingyang in, and when they were slightly drunk, the two of them were impassioned, and they said together that they would contact their colleagues immediately after they went back, and jointly admonished Jun Zhizhi.

During the Lantern Festival, some lanterns were set up in the palace to enjoy with the people.
Qin Mu finished handling a day's government affairs in the imperial study, and was about to go back to the backyard to spend the festival with Yang Zhi and them, Yan Gaofei hurriedly came in and whispered a few words to him: "King Qin, the imperial historians are in tandem, and the prisoners of the Guozijian are also talking about it."
Qin Mu's face suddenly became gloomy, and after whispering a few words to Yan Gaofei, he said, "Go ahead, I will always pay attention to the movements in Jingzhong and the entire Jiangnan for a while, and I must not be careless." ”
"Yes, King Qin."
Yan Gaofei retreated, and Qin Mu stood alone on the eaves and pondered.
In ancient China, it was indeed necessary to emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce, because in the past, the productivity was low, and too many people engaged in industry and commerce would make the labor force for farming insufficient, and the grain output would be low, which would then endanger the stability of the country.
The policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce first appeared by Li Kui in the reform of the Wei State, and then Shang Ying clearly put forward the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce for the first time in the reform of the Qin State, and put it into practice as the basic content of the policy of vigorously promoting agricultural warfare. Successive rulers have used it as a model for governing the country.
It is undeniable that the policy of valuing agriculture and suppressing commerce played a positive role in the development of agriculture and social economy in the early days of feudal society, and in the consolidation of the political power of the emerging landlord class.
For example, the Shang Dynasty Reform Law actively promoted the policy of agricultural warfare, adopted various means to implement the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, and encouraged the development of agricultural production, thus promoting the continuous enhancement of Qin's economic strength and laying a material foundation for Qin Shi Huang to unify the six countries.
However, with the development of productive forces, the budding capitalism has emerged in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, especially with the promotion of high-yield crops such as corn in Daqin, grain output has been greatly improved, and the commodity economy has become more and more active;
At this time, it is obviously wrong to still adhere to the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, and to set the development of commerce and agriculture against each other.
If we continue to implement a series of measures that are not conducive to the growth of capital under the guidance of the policy and ideology of valuing agriculture and suppressing business, we will undoubtedly violate the law of economic development.
In order to increase capital, science and technology need to be improved, and the labor force must be sufficient.
As far as the current situation is concerned, unless the role of women is released, it is difficult to ensure sufficient labor in the short term, and Qin Mu does not want to go to Africa to sell some blacks to China.
However, the preconceived ideas have lasted for nearly 2,000 years, and it is not easy to change them!
Now it's just blowing the wind to a few ministers, but I didn't expect it to cause an undercurrent
Qin Mu snorted coldly, then took a few deep breaths, making the expression on his face relaxed, before walking towards the backyard.
