There are two letters on Hao Zheng's desk.

A letter from the Johor royal family, probably explained some information, but also said the difficulties of Johor, naturally hoping that the Hao family would not interfere in this matter, if there were some involvement, they had to turn to the Ming court.

What this means is that now there is a lot of trouble, and Johor hopes that the Hao family will be neutral, but it can't be done, so I have to go to Daming to fight a lawsuit.

The attitude of Johor is also polite and courteous. However, the other letter came from Yeo Hao, the chief minister of the Johor State of Finance.

This Chief Yang claimed to be a Malacca businessman, but also a disciple of Chen Xue, because of Johor's repeated policy of suppressing business, the royal family was greedy, exploiting the Chinese and small people, and was deeply affected by the political situation in Dingnan, for the future of Johor, so he was determined to break the many confinements of Johor, the Johor political bureau has worked together to prepare hundreds of thousands of silver, and formed a senior army of more than 2,000 people, which will be based in Malacca, swearing to defend the political situation, Lang Son is the holy land of enlightened people in Johor, and the government is the backbone of the Chinese. Chief Yang implored Hao Zheng to give some assistance.

These are two diametrically opposed letters, but the content of this letter makes Hao Zheng have to pay attention to it.

He never imagined that the senior political situation in Dingnan would have such an impact, as for this Johor country, he didn't pay much attention to it, but now that the matter is approaching, he has to be cautious, and after a moment of silence, Hao Zheng immediately repaired the book and decided to discuss one or two with his son Haosheng, who was far away in Beijing.

So he took pen and ink, repaired a book, and ordered two letters to be sent out on a fast horse.

After this is done, it is time to convene the staff and the relevant doormen to discuss. In the public mansion, there are more than 60 staff members and doormen in charge of foreign affairs. They are all people who know the national conditions of various countries, are familiar with the Chinese languages, and at the same time have some influence in various countries, Han Chinese and Chinese are the majority, and there are also many friends of Fanbang.

After a few days of discussion, I didn't have a clue. Probably there is a difference of opinion, some people think that this is a good time for the Hao family to interfere in Johor, and some people think that it is a good time. Don't pay attention to Yang Hao's request, the main purpose of the Hao family at the moment is to run Dingnan and Jiaozhi, Dingnan is already restless now, and there is really no need to make extraneous branches.

Doormen have different interests and positions. The battle is fierce on this matter. So after a few days, I didn't have a clue.

Hao Zheng is now good at internal affairs, although there are occasional foreign affairs handling, but most of them are painless, but now he has encountered this problem, which makes him a little depressed.

At this time, it was almost early summer, and the weather in Langshan was scorching, so Hao Zheng simply calmed down. Occasionally, I invite Naxia Yuanji to the mansion to play chess and eat tea.

Xia Yuanji presided over the affairs of the railway, although it was a busy affair. But he also knows that he is busy, Hao Zheng respects him, and he has no reason to take a shelf, but this former Xia Butang is really doing practical things in Langshan, but he feels more and more that there are too many fresh things here.

"Grandpa, Johor is a good country, why do you want to make trouble? The old man couldn't figure it out anyway, the king of Johor repeatedly tried to win them over, but why, it always didn't work. In my opinion, those merchants in Johor are a little too much, originally mentioned that Johor should reduce checkpoints and reduce commercial taxes, and the Johor court agreed, but they saw that the court retreated, but they asked to give the merchants their due status, and the Johor court regressed and wanted to give them knighthoods, but later these merchants prepared their own political affairs, this is not to force the fish to die and break the net? This Western is always chaotic, in the clouds, the old man really can't see clearly, can't understand, and doesn't know whether it's good or bad, always feel that if it goes on like this, I don't know what chaos will happen. ”

The two of them are in this grass pavilion, learning the style of the Wei and Jin celebrities, wearing loose clothes, occasionally chatting, occasionally looking at the utensils, there is a hot tea on the side to exude a fragrance, I have to say, Xia Yuanji came to play against Hao Zheng every three or five times, a kind of Cheng dù, is for this tea, Jiaozhi local tea is also produced, but this tea is barely acceptable to the general public, but people like Xia Yuanji, but he is not used to eating, he likes to eat authentic Wuyi rock tea, and here, the best Wuyi rock tea is often worth a lot of money, His salary is not meager, but he is reluctant to eat every day, but here in the Hao family, the tea pipe is enough, and there are special brewers, who also use clear spring water sent from twenty miles away, a tea in hand, happier than the gods.

But this time, Xia Yuanji was really in no mood to eat tea, just frowned, and his mind was not on the chessboard.

Regarding this, Hao Zheng also roughly understood the psychology of some businessmen, and couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Xia, there are some things that I can't understand for a while, if Mr. Xia wants to know, you might as well take a look at Chen Xue's classics, maybe you can solve Mr. Xia's doubts." ”

Xia Yuanji couldn't help but smile bitterly, he is a master of science, and unlike other Qingliu, he is a down-to-earth person, but this does not mean that he is willing to 'go with the same stream' as Chen Xue's people He reads all books in Langshan, especially likes to read some recent poems, and even some popular books and novels recently, he can also read them with relish, but he will never touch Chen Xue's classics, sometimes he reluctantly picks them up and looks at them a few times, with a critical attitude, he reads a sentence, and he slanders in his heart, this is not good, that is simply nonsense, Later, I simply didn't bother to take it again, so as not to block myself.

Seeing that Xia Yuanji didn't say anything, Hao Zheng's heart moved, and he suddenly said: "There is a sentence that may explain the matter of Johor." ”

Xia Yuanji cheered up and listened attentively.

Hao Zheng dropped a chess piece, and said: "The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit!" ”

Xia Yuanji thought about it, and couldn't help but smile dumbly, but he still nodded: "Grandpa's words are really incisive. ”

The two continued to play chess, at this time, someone from the house came over quickly and sent a letter, Hao Zheng had to put the chess pieces in his hand back into the chess cup, took the letter and read it, and then he frowned and said, "Go, invite people in." ”

Xia Yuanji was interested and said, "Grandpa seems to have official business, and the old man is leaving." ”

He was about to get up, but Hao Zheng shook his head: "It's just that the dog replied to the letter, and sent someone from Jinling, saying that he was asked to deal with the matter of Johor, and Mr. does not have to avoid it." ”

Xia Yuanji wanted to see in his heart who Hao Fenglou had invited to deal with the Johor matter, so he smiled and waited here with a cheeky face.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

After a short time, someone came to the bottom of the grass house, this person has a little dark skin, wearing a scarf and a Confucian shirt, but he is very young, his eyes are a little dull, and he does not see the aura.

As soon as they saw this person, Xia Yuanji and Hao Zheng were a little disappointed.

However, thinking that since his son sent this person as a special envoy to deal with the matter of Johor, it was expected that his son's vision would not be bad, and he must rely on it, so he still had some expectations in his heart.

This person stepped forward and saluted Hao Zheng, claiming that he had seen his grandfather when his student Yang Ming.

After that, he took out Hao Fenglou's letter to Hao Zheng to see, in this letter, it was said that this Yang scholar is the disciple of Chen Xuedi of Jingshi, who is very knowledgeable, smart and clever, and is really a unique talent.

When Hao Zheng saw his son's handwritten letter, his face suddenly showed a little warmth, and he immediately raised his head and greeted Yang Mingshi.

And Xia Yuanji on the side also looked careless, but he was secretly observing this person.

After saying a few words, this Yang Mingshi did not give people a good impression, how to say it, a little stunned, Hao Zheng had to say: "This time the old man wants to ask Mr. Yang to envoy to Johor, but I don't know what he thinks about the affairs of Johor?" ”

Yang Mingshi said: "Freedom of trade, equality of agriculture and industry, protection of private property, this is Chen Xue's proposition, students study Chen Xue, naturally ......"

Then he was full of great truths.

But when I heard it, I couldn't help but feel disappointed, because what this guy said was clearly parroting, and now if you pick out a student from Chen Xuetang, most of them can also shake their heads and say these words, negotiating such things as Johor, how can it be hasty, this guy is obviously a guy who is stupid to read, what can he do?

"Is it the wrong one?" Hao Zheng was suspicious in his heart, he was too lazy to continue talking to Yang Mingshi, he had seen a lot of nerds, but this stupid person could, he really thought that with a few words of the so-called way of the sage, he could walk the world and everything would be fine. So Hao Zheng had no choice but to say: "Oh, Mr. came from afar, I'm afraid I'm tired, please take a break in the mansion for a while, and the old man will pick up the wind and wash the dust for you the next day." ”

Sending this Yang Mingshi away, Xia Yuanji couldn't help laughing and said, "What does Grandpa think?" ”

"This ......" Hao Zheng looked a little embarrassed, and finally simply dropped a child, and said with a wry smile: "My son, always has grotesque thoughts, although this scholar is a little faint, but it is recommended by Fenglou, now the old man here, and there is no charter to deal with, and now he can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, tomorrow I will try this scholar again, find an opportunity, send someone to escort him to Johor, just hopefully, don't make any trouble, Jiaozhi and Dingnan, is the fundamental, don't cause any accidents because of a Johor." Come, come, come, you don't have to laugh and play chess with peace of mind. ”
