Chapter 757: Chickens and Ducks Talk
Ma Yu never imagined that the Dingnan Palace, after all, had appointed someone to come to greet him.
The person who came was not a fierce god or a samurai with a sword, but a guest of the palace, who was responsible for entertaining the court officials.
The so-called greetings are actually mutual temptations.
This guest secretary hopes to learn the purpose of Ma Yu's visit as soon as possible, and what mission does he have besides the Qin Cha?
But for Ma Yu, it is urgent to know the attitude of King Dingnan towards the court, whether it is against or not, whether it is hesitant, or painful determination, whether it is awe in his heart, or disdainful?
In this way, dialogue is essential.
"Student Zhang Hai, on the order of the king of Dingnan to welcome the angel, the angel came from afar, physically and mentally exhausted, full of wind and dust, the king of Dingnan said, it is not appropriate to welcome it in person today, and also ask the angel to stay temporarily at the nearest post station, early tomorrow morning, the prince will come to the door in person, bear the guilt, and hope that the angel Haihan will forgive."
"Where is it, His Royal Highness the King of Dingnan has made a very proper arrangement, this official is indeed tired, at this time to announce the holy order, I am afraid it will be disrespectful, it is better to rest for a day, and also give the palace some time to prepare."
"Oh, Mr. Zhang, listening to your accent, it seems to be from Jiangxi?"
"Yes, the student is from Jiangxi, from Yichun Mansion, Jiangxi."
"If it was Yichun Mansion, then wouldn't it be under the jurisdiction of King Ning back then? King Ning once had a son, and he sealed Yichun, which is a good place, the four seasons are like spring, and the donor of the household department. It is said that it is a person from Gao'an in Yichun, this person is an old seniority, a jinshi in the Hongwu period. It's a pity, old man, although His Majesty has the mind to reuse, he has no choice but to give up because his body is not good. ”
"The donor is indeed a fellow student, but in fact, the adult is also half a fellow villager. The adults are Hunan people, and Yichun is only one step away from Hunan, with many customs. All are similar, and students remember that there were Hunan people filling Yichun in the Song Dynasty, so there are quite a lot of Hakka people in Yichun, which is ridiculous. The students are now here in Lang Son. In fact, it can be regarded as a Hakka, but which of the people here is a local native? Nine times out of ten, they come from all directions, just like the countless gurgling streams that flow into the rivers, ha...... Adults won't be surprised to say this. ”
"If this is the case, the official likes to hear this, and it is an eye-opener for the official to come here today. I always feel that people here are different from other places. ”
Mr. Zhang smiled and said, "It's natural. This is the place of integration, what is the integration of understanding, that is, the three mountains and five mountains, all provinces in the world, and even the Western countries, what kind of people have, everyone gets along with each other, adults can know what is the greatest benefit? ”
"But I don't know."
"Adult, students say it, don't laugh, I think adults are casual people, so I am willing to say some of my own opinions, just don't laugh. According to some of the students' shallow knowledge, there are hundreds of people, the people gathered here come from the ends of the earth, the people everywhere, the different knowledge, just like the Songjiang Mansion from the country, often good at weaving, Sichuan from the brocade is the best at, the most food patterns in Guangdong, is the city, that is also the best at planting rice, so on, people everywhere, have their strengths, if they are just stuck in one place, then it's just that, but the directors of each family are here together, Songjiang weaving has such skills, And Fujian's weaving has such skills, and finally fused together, on this basis, to improve, and to learn from the skills of various places, isn't it twice the result with half the effort? Don't say anything else, it's hard to understand, just say this to eat, let's eat here, there are dishes from all over the world, Gan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Sichuan cuisine and Nanjing, Tianjin Wei, Beijing City all kinds of pastries and snacks, there are everything, the merchants, the first thing after settling down is to go to the North Street to eat and drink, in this Langshan, you can eat all the food in the world. ”
"These are the exchanges that our Tiance general said, people have exchanges, the horizon is high, the vision is the most important, everyone gets together, the things they see, every day is different, strange, slowly accept and digest, what they hear every day, what they see, are all novelties, so that they are no longer ordinary fools, you look at those farmers in the countryside, they have been living in the village all their lives, and the farthest ones are afraid that they are only dozens of miles away from the market, and they will live in the village for a lifetime. There are so many people who deal with them, they are all confined to one place, and what they see every day is still the mountain, the water, and the field, all the knowledge in this life, about that, such people, shallow knowledge, even those high-ranking officials and nobles, how good can they be, most of the eyes only fall on that place, forever stuck in that little inch. Adults, students think that since the past dynasties, Shinong industry and commerce, see only one thing, that is the twilight, twilight, the world is only so big, how much knowledge can be seen, the people of the world, some are extremely smart people, even if he sits in the well and watches the sky, he can also bring forth the new, drum up fresh things, but unfortunately, even if this fresh thing is useful, it is only for the benefit of a corner of the place, and can not be promoted, the result is that for hundreds of years, many skills and articles, ideas, have gradually been lost, The so-called past is not the present, and this is the case. Therefore, the biggest advantage of this Lang Son is that there are people gathered from all over the world, as long as one person has new ideas and improvements, it will soon be spread, and then future generations will improve step by step according to these, even if it is the most vulgar craftsman, his knowledge, in the Ming Dynasty, is not comparable to ordinary people. ”
These things, Zhang Hai said that he was foaming at the mouth, but Ma Yu didn't listen to it very interestingly, because his intention was very clear, what improvements and what integration of Langshan had nothing to do with him, and the most important thing for him was to find out about the attitude of the Hao family, but this Zhang Hai was not leaking, and when it came to these miscellaneous talks, he was full of interest, but he never mentioned the thoughts of King Dingnan.
In fact, if he was willing to listen to Zhang Hai's words with his heart, he would be able to use them to some extent, because Zhang Hai's words revealed a truth, that is, the so-called advanced and backward issues, and later books and periodicals often said that the workers represented the advanced productive forces and the so-called vanguard, and the peasants had their limitations, which by no means meant any discrimination against the peasants.
The fundamental reason is that there is a difference between the city and the countryside, the workers in the city, tens of thousands of people gather, each person a message to exchange with each other, it is equivalent to a person has tens of thousands of information, they understand the way the workshop operates, know the production process, it is easier to accept new things, and the peasants are more like the current court, they sunrise and sunset, what they hear and see every day is the same, what the outside world is like, whether it is good or bad, they do not have enough imagination, and it is impossible to imagine, Therefore, society can let the former push forward, and as for the latter, if their living conditions are not broken, even if the cycle is tens of thousands of years, they are still there in circles, repeatedly.
The most important thing in Lang Son is to establish a city, and the city attracts people from all over the world, and at the same time establishes a workshop, cultivating a group of people around the workshop, these people have merchants, craftsmen, and provide spiritual entertainment or food, clothing, housing and transportation for merchants and craftsmen. And then brewed this prosperous scene.
On the other hand, Jinling, of course, is also a huge city, but it is only at the foot of the Son of Heaven, it is the administrative center, and it has really become the protagonist, for thousands of years, it is the so-called princes and generals, and it is those who go to Beijing to take the exam. Those who dominate Jinling don't care about the innovation of any skills, so they are not interested in how to open up trade routes, what they will always focus on is nothing more than scriptures and articles, it is the knowledge of sages, how to be a person, how to do things, and how to guide the country.
These are two diametrically opposed forms, in fact, the two forms, not good or bad, not to say that the princes and generals of Jinling eat people, the merchants and chaebols of Langshan do not eat people, any kind of rulers, in fact, are cannibalists, and even maybe the merchants and chaebols eat more ugly, but they are the things that are built under their leadership, and the hundreds of thousands of craftsmen condensed around their workshops have broken many of the old shackles, and what they represent is advanced.
Ma Yu, from Jinling, naturally would never understand these things, what he thought of in his heart was still the set of princes and generals, so for him, these things made him scoff after all.
After several attempts, Zhang Hai mostly shifted the topic to some well-known foods and specialties in Langshan, and he even laughed: "In fact, when it comes to specialties, there are really no specialties in Langshan, but all over the world, no matter where the specialties are, there are them here." ”
Ma Yu thought in his heart, this surnamed Zhang was obviously playing Tai Chi with himself, and after saying so much, there were few things that he cared about.
He had no choice but to smile dryly and say, "In this way, this official wants to know a thing or two." ”
