The father of Shen Kuo's second wife was Zhang Ji, the former Huainan envoy. Zhang Ji admired Shen Kuo and married his second daughter to Shen Kuo.
Unexpectedly, this marriage between an old man and a young wife became Shen Kuo's nightmare. This is no ordinary strong wife, no one expected the other party to be so strong.
Zhang even beat and scolded Shen Kuo, and often beat and scolded him in front of Shen Kuo's children. Shen Kuo's beard was even pulled off by force. The beard was still stuck with flesh and blood with too much force. Seeing this, Shen Kuo's children cried bitterly and begged Zhang, but even so, Zhang did not spare Shen Kuo.
Shen Kuo's eldest son, Shen Boyi, was the son of his ex-wife, and was kicked out of the house by Zhang. Shen Kuo sometimes went to donate money, but once Zhang knew about it, he became furious and beat Shen Kuo up.
Even in order to put him to death, Zhang went to the Yamen to falsely accuse Shen Boyi of treason.
Had it not been for his son-in-law Huang Lu to protect his life and career career from the emperor in front of the emperor, Shen Boyi would have died long ago.
Huang Lu's wife was also the daughter of Shen Kuo's ex-wife, so Huang Lu had a falling out with Shen Kuo and cut off all contact with Shen Kuo.
Zhang Yue is definitely on the side of his good brothers regarding this matter. Even without this relationship, Zhang Yue still wanted to persuade Shen Kuo to divorce his wife.
These women are not only fierce, but also extremely evil. Divorce is already an advantage for her.
Not only Zhang Yue, but many people also advised Shen Kuo to give up. But Shen Kuo was determined and obeyed Zhang's advice in everything.
Anyway, Shen Kuo just said, "My wife loves me deeply and will never harm me." Zhang Yue was speechless. This is just a fight and a fight, and Shen Kuo is just like this. Moreover, there are some ladies from the princes' families in the capital who appreciate Shen Kuo's behavior very much...
Shen Kuo said to Zhang Yueyan: "It is a shortcoming for Shen to serve as an official. But... but the military weapons supervisor is a place where Shen can display his ambitions. It just so happened that Lu Dacan showed his favor to... Shen. Shen for a while I didn’t think much about it…”
Zhang Yue added: "So Cunzhong thought that Wang Xianggong would not return to the court, so he opposed the Huma Law and the exemption law?"
Shen Kuo felt ashamed and said: "It's my short-sightedness. Shen... Shen is dull by nature. Only in places like the Ordnance Supervision can I display my talents."
Zhang Yue said: "There is no need to feel guilty in your life. Just do it. I also think that no one in the world knows what weapons supervision is except you. That is because they cannot see the use of craftsmen and regard the craftsmanship as their profession." Shit job.”
"There are four types of people: farmers, industry and merchants. The workers are worse than the merchants, but the specific situation is not as good as the merchants."
Zhang Yue has seen many people who traveled through the Song Dynasty. According to the idea of developing productivity, they all started with weapons supervision.
But is this a productivity issue? It is clearly a problem of production relations.
The status of craftsmen is so low, the court discriminates against them, and the treatment they receive is so poor, how can we develop science and technology?
Only when the four people are equalized, the status of craftsmen is raised, and outstanding treatment is given to talented craftsmen, will people truly and sincerely serve the imperial court.
And Shen Kuo is the most technically savvy among today's officials.
Officials who understand technology generally respect talents and knowledge. If you change the management of "shis", then the talent selection standards will be different, and the definition of knowledge will be different. Even if you are Hawking, you will have to stand up and toast!
Zhang Yue said to Shen Kuo: "Cunzhong, the most important thing among the weapons supervisor is a skilled craftsman."
"But the disadvantage of weapons supervision is how to respect skilled craftsmen?"
Shen Kuo said: "What's the difficulty... in this? I... I can tell it!"
Zhang Yue said: "You can distinguish it, but will people be convinced by it? Others will not say that you are nepotistic and seek personal gain from public affairs?"
Shen Kuo couldn't help but hesitate, Zhang Yue said: "Cunzhong, you can write a statement to me, and I will help you hand it over to the officials afterwards."
Even Shen Kuo knew one thing. Reporting to Zhang Yue without going through Lu Huiqing would be tantamount to offending Lu Huiqing.
"But...but Lu Jifu..."
Zhang Yue said: "Since your wife asked you to come to find me, are you still worried about Lu Jifu? But I have said it beforehand. Lu Jifu will definitely take revenge afterwards. You can weigh the consequences yourself."
Shen Kuo was silent.
Zhang Yue said: "However, I can guarantee that you will still serve in the Ordnance Supervision afterwards, or I can guarantee that you will go to any direction in the northwest as a military envoy."
Shen Kuo still hesitated.
Zhang Yue continued: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you have a backer or not. Cunzhong, you have to understand who is the biggest backer in the court? If you get the appreciation of the officials, are you afraid that others will make things difficult for you? Since I agreed to your introduction, why not? A road to the blue sky."
Shen Kuo had come to look for Zhang Yue today. He was prepared to change the ship in advance after Lu Huiqing's ship sank. Moreover, he heard Zhang Yue said that he would introduce him to the emperor, which made him even more excited.
Zhang Yue can certainly be called a patron, but who has a greater patron than the emperor?
If so, Lu Huiqing would be offended if he was offended.
Shen Kuo's thinking is linear, and he only half understands and half doesn't understand the way of being an official. Zhang Yue did not take advantage of Shen Kuo's guilt, because political struggle itself was like this. Besides, when he returned to the court this time, he was determined to bring down Lu Huiqing.
This was also the original intention of the officials to confuse him with his different opinions, not to mention that he clearly explained the risks and benefits to Shen Kuo afterwards.
Shen Kuo said: "If... if we cannot be sentenced to military weapons supervision in the future, I, Shen Kuo, would like to... go to Shaanxi or Xihe Road to lead the troops!"
Zhang Yue smiled when he heard this and said, "This was also my original ambition!"
Shen Kuo stood up immediately and said excitedly: "Shen... Shen still wants to follow the... Marshal Ping Xia, fulfill... fulfill this long-cherished wish in this life!"
Zhang Yue laughed when he heard this and held Shen Kuo's shoulders.
No matter what, Shen Kuo still has many shortcomings, but these words are enough.
"A true man should put family and country affairs first! This is where the big deal comes from. Come, you and I will have three drinks together!"
"Thank you... Marshal, no, it's Xie Xianggong... Xianggong!" Shen Kuo stammered and picked up the wine glass.
Three glasses of wine.
Zhang Yue looked out the window at Bianjing City. It was night, the sky was full of stars, and the towering watchtower near the imperial city looked like a lone sentinel standing guard.
Zhang Yue raised his glass to the watchtower and said, "Young knight-errant from Chang'an, I went up to the watchtower at night to see Taibai!"
After saying this, Yue Yue drank this wine.
Shen Kuo knew that the song Zhang Yue recited was "Longtou Xing" by Wang Wei.
Shen Kuo then said: "I don't know when... our Han family will be able to restore the prosperous age like that in the Tang Dynasty... when all the people came to congratulate us!"
"This is not what we want for officials."
Zhang Yue smiled and filled Shen Kuo's cup again. Shen Kuo waved his hands and said, "Madam, I am limited to three drinks when I am socializing outside!"
Zhang Yue was astonished. He knew that Shen Kuo was a drunkard, but he didn't expect that this problem would change after he continued.
…
Drink it.
After Zhang Yue and Shen Kuo mounted their horses to say goodbye, they drove their horses forward slowly, looking at a star as bright as the Big Dipper in the sky, wondering if it was too white.
Zhang Yue silently recited: "When I return to the northwest, it will be summer time!"
