Zhang Sanfeng originally wanted to ask Ye Ming to see if the general knew any inside information.
But he didn't expect that after drinking the tea, Ye Ming would throw this question back to him.
Hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng frowned slightly, with a thoughtful look on his face, "The holy will is unpredictable. I really can't understand what the emperor means this time."
"What should I say?" Ye Ming picked up the tea cup and took a sip, his face became serious.
"Dashun has not been knighted for so many years, and the emperor has not been knighted for so many years since he ascended the throne." Zhang Sanfeng gently put down the tea cup in his hand, "This Wenjun was only a teenager, and he was actually made a baron. It can be seen that the emperor values him very much."
Zhang Sanfeng paused, and then continued, "But if you value him, why is he a meaningless baron? This is what I don't understand."
"Do you really think that such a baron is meaningless?" Ye Ming shook his head. "Master Zhang, when we look at things, we can't just look at the appearance, but what is behind him. Of course, the power of God is unpredictable. We We cannot presume to divine the Holy Will, but at least many things are already very clear."
Zhang Sanfeng was stunned when he heard this, "General, please give me a clear explanation!"
"Let me ask you, does Duan Wenjun care about your 10% tax reduction?" Ye Ming said slowly.
"No!" Zhang Sanfeng shook his head, "If he cared about this, he wouldn't take in so many people."
"Then what do you think Duan Wenjun cares about most?" Ye Ming continued.
"What do you care about?" Zhang Sanfeng frowned. "I saw him twice in Wangjiang. He is unrestrained and unrestrained based on his talent. He has been hiding his stupidity for so many years, but Wangjiang is a famous dandy, so he shouldn't care. reputation."
"He doesn't care about fame and money. How could he care about fame?" Zhang Sanfeng murmured, "That's probably not the case! I heard Mr. Qin mention it. It seems that he has no intention of joining Qiuwei. Even Mr. Qin recommended him to join He declined every opportunity to go to court. So what does he care about?"
Zhang Sanfeng really couldn't think of an answer, so he couldn't help but look at Ye Ming.
At this moment, Ye Ming was staring at him with a smile on his face.
"General, please clarify!" Zhang Sanfeng said, cupping his fists.
"Actually, he cares about everything and nothing at all." Ye Ming smiled. "He does everything he wants. Only he knows what he is thinking. However, I believe that what he wants is benefits, no matter how big or small it is." It’s still a small benefit.”
Zhang Sanfeng became more and more confused the more he listened.
"Master Zhang, have you ever heard of the whole pig feast that Duan Wenjun hosted in Duanjiabao?" Ye Ming then asked.
"I have heard of this whole pig feast." Zhang Sanfeng nodded. "It is said that he organized such a whole pig feast, which made Peng Bearded and Ma Sanyan take it lightly, and finally they were all caught in one sweep."
"That's not what I'm talking about." Ye Ming shook his head, "I'm talking about the whole pig feast itself. Do you know where the pigs in this whole pig feast come from?"
Zhang Sanfeng was stunned again and frowned slightly, "There are many families in Dashun who can raise pigs. Does this matter?"
Ye Ming shook his head, "I heard that these pigs were raised by Duan Wenjun himself."
"Ah? You said Duan Wenjun raises pigs by himself?" Zhang Sanfeng was stunned. "Is it possible that he still wants to raise pigs and sell them for money?"
When they were in Wangjiang that day, both Duan Daxiong and Duan Wenjun said that writing poems was of no use as they were deprived of food and second, they were deprived of clothing.
Zhang Sanfeng felt that they were insulting the gentlemen.
However, even such an insulting and polite person could write such exquisite poems, which made him stand in the dust.
In particular, the pillars of Wangjiang Tower have been empty for so many years, and even I, one of the top three talents in the palace who is famous for his antithetical couplets, are helpless.
Duan Wenjun said it without thinking, with an air of eternal absoluteness.
Zhang Sanfeng was very convinced of Duan Wenjun's talent.
He also admitted that he was not as good as Duan Wenjun.
Therefore, he always felt that Duan Wenjun must have been hiding his clumsiness before.
Even though Duan Wenjun was a bit ungentlemanly, he still felt that he was arrogant and arrogant because he had capital.
However, when he heard that Duan Wenjun actually raised pigs, he was really shocked.
"Yes, I heard that after his cultivation, the pig has no fishy smell and is more delicious than the mutton we usually eat." Ye Ming's face was full of yearning. "These are what the emperor told me, The second young master of Prince Rui's Mansion has personally gone to eat the whole pig feast."
Speaking of this, Ye Ming's brows couldn't help but frown.
During this period, Duan Wenjun's reputation was too loud.
Although he didn't care much about these things, he still heard some things about him.
It was also at this time that Ye Ming began to pay attention.
Because he felt that Duan Wenjun's temperament seemed to be very similar to that of a certain person.
Moreover, when Qiu Yun followed Duan Daxiong back to Wangjiang, many doubts were left behind.
He even had some doubts as to whether there might be some unknown inside story.
He even felt that Duan Wenjun's temperament was impossible to follow Duan Daxiong, more like a certain person.
In this Dashun Dynasty, there is a person that many people dare not mention.
Zhang Sanfeng's brows furrowed again, "Then what does this have to do with the Emperor conferring a title on him?"
"You are from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. When Zhang Suxing wrote a letter asking the emperor to approve Duan Wenjun to set up private soldiers to ensure the safety of Duanjia Fort and prevent people from Moon Island from revolting, have you heard of this?" Ye Ming Again.
Zhang Sanfeng nodded.
This document was first seen by him and submitted to the Minister of Civil Affairs. Finally, it was read by Chen Xiang and Taishi Wen before being submitted to Emperor Shun.
Because everyone knows that Duan Wenjun's pilot project in Duanjiapu is very important to Emperor Shun, so he dare not neglect it.
However, when the memorial reached Emperor Shun, it fell into disgrace.
Emperor Shun did not say what should be done, nor what could not be done.
As a result, everyone reached a tacit agreement not to mention this matter again.
This shows that Emperor Shun must have some thoughts in his heart, but he did not show them.
Today, Emperor Shun broke the precedent and granted a knighthood. In fact, it was just a mouthful and did not bring much benefit.
However, Ye Ming knew that maybe Duan Wenjun liked it more.
Although the 10% tax was not much, he believed that Duan Wenjun would be happy.
The baron has the right to train his troops and horses. When the time comes, let him raise some private soldiers, which will naturally ensure his own safety.
He believed that Duan Wenjun would have thought of this himself.
Emperor Shun just opened his mouth and said a few words, without spending any money at all, and he could still make Duan Wenjun obey.
This kind of thing is the most cost-effective.
