The next day.
It was still pouring rain.
Fusu put on a coat and looked out the window.
My mind has already drifted away.
He thinks he should do more.
He remembered that Ji Heng said that if the merchants in Qi really instigated trouble, the court should deal with it calmly, not going too far, and not being too restrained.
For whom to deal with.
Fusu immediately thought of Meng Tian.
But then he shook his head. Now that Meng Tiangui is the general, leading 300,000 troops in northern Xinjiang, it may not be appropriate to let Meng Tian handle such trivial matters now, so he can only choose another general, but other generals, He wasn't familiar with it.
subconsciously.
He wanted to ask Zhang Cang.
As soon as he lifted his steps, he immediately stopped.
Although he was close to Zhang Cang, Zhang Cang was good at calculations, had never been in the army, and knew very little about the generals in the army. He could hardly get any results from asking Zhang Cang. Besides, he had already disturbed Zhang Cang several times before. Cang Cang several times, if he goes again, he is afraid that Zhang Cang will really avoid him in the future.
Think about it.
Fusu gave up the idea.
He thought for a while and finally decided to go find Meng Yi.
Firstly, he was close to the Meng brothers, and secondly, Meng Yi was Meng Tian's brother and knew something about the military affairs, so it was obviously more appropriate to ask Meng Yi.
Again.
He also wanted to ask Meng Yi's opinion.
As soon as he thought of this, Fusu stood up and walked towards Tingwei's mansion.
When I went to Tingwei Mansion, I found out that Meng Yi had no rest today.
Da Qin takes a bath every five days.
Now Meng Yi is resting at home.
After Fusu learned about this, he resolutely went to Meng Mansion.
Meng Mansion.
Hearing that the eldest son had arrived, Meng was also noisy for a while.
Montessori's main hall.
Fusu and Meng Yi faced each other from a distance.
Meng Yi was currently wearing a black robe and a tall white bamboo crown, looking cold and unsmiling.
Meng Yi went to Fusu's table, bowed, and asked: "Why did the eldest son come to look for you today?"
Fusu's eyes flickered, and everyone in the audience cupped his hands and said slowly: "It's just some trivial matters, not something important. Lieutenant Meng Ting doesn't need to worry about it."
"Sir, please speak." Meng Yi said coldly.
Fusu had long been accustomed to Meng Yi's coldness and didn't take it to heart. He pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Did Wei Ting hear about what happened during my stay in Guanzhong?"
"I heard something." Meng Yi nodded, hesitated, and asked, "Do you have any objections to the punishment of those three merchants?"
Fusu quickly shook his head and said: "I don't have such intention."
"The merchant's crime is clear and he should enforce the law according to the law. How dare Fusu break the law?"
"I came here today not as a merchant."
"The reason why I did this was because I listened to one person's words."
Fusu slowly said the words that had been organized in his mind: "This person told me succinctly that Da Qin is in danger right now and must make some changes. What this person said makes sense, and I am very convinced. Therefore, relevant suggestions have been adopted.”
"only."
"His Majesty has ordered that this law be implemented nationwide."
"I am indeed worried."
"The remnants of the six kingdoms are determined to destroy Qin."
"Since Guan Zhong's Reform in Qi, the status of merchants in Qi has generally been higher than in other places. Qi has mountains and seas, and there are many salt and iron practitioners. If this law is implemented, it may cause a lot of unrest in Qi. We I am worried about this, so I came to discuss it with you."
"Please also ask Lieutenant Meng Ting to be generous and speak out."
Fusu stood up and bowed.
Meng Yi frowned, glanced at Fusu in confusion, and said puzzledly: "I am an official in charge of laws and regulations, why did the young master come to ask me?"
Fusu smiled awkwardly and said, "I just wanted to ask a question."
"Besides."
"The business of a merchant can be big or small."
"If it's just Qi, the imperial court can easily solve it, but if it spreads to six places, it may lead to disaster. I am worried in my heart, so I came to find Lieutenant Meng Ting. I want to ask if there are any suitable generals in the army who can properly Handle the matter appropriately."
"first."
Before Fusu finished speaking, Meng Yi's expression suddenly changed.
Meng Yi left the case solemnly and said coldly: "I advise you, Master, not to make any mistakes."
"Why is this?" Fusu was puzzled.
Meng Yi said: "Meng Yi is the minister in charge of the government, how can he interfere in military affairs?"
"The eldest brother is indeed favored by His Majesty. He is the highest-ranking general and leads an army of 300,000 to guard Beiyuan. This is my brother's achievement."
"How can I allow you to talk nonsense?"
"Besides."
"I have studied laws and regulations since I was a child and am not familiar with military affairs. When you ask me, I am afraid that you are asking someone who is not human. I really cannot answer."
"Please, Master, please don't mention it again."
Meng Yi had a straight face and didn't want to get involved at all.
Fusu's expression changed.
He stood up, bowed and said, "It's Fusu who spoke freely."
"Please forgive me, Lieutenant Meng Ting."
Meng Yi looked at Fusu and said in a deep voice: "Master, please don't be speechless again."
Fusu said: "I know it."
"only."
"There's a lot at stake."
"I really can't calm down. I just hope that I can do more for the country."
"That's when I panicked for a moment."
Meng Yi shook his head and said: "Since you said that this method came from one person, you should ask this person, what does this person want from you?"
Fusu hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "There is no explanation."
"Just ask me not to look for him during this period of time."
"Sir, what does this person think of this matter?" Meng Yi asked again.
Fusu said: "It's not his decision."
Meng Yi sighed: "Master, this person has made it so clear, why does the master care so much and cause chaos?"
"What the prince does, I will hear about it."
"It's good for the country."
"Robbing merchants of their profits to provide for the needs of the imperial court."
"The interests are very attractive to people. Once this policy is announced, it will definitely cause local turmoil. This is actually inevitable."
"Even in Guanzhong, there are still a few merchants who are unwilling to surrender, let alone the six regions of Guandong? I'm afraid there are more merchants who are unwilling to accept it. As for what the young master said about Qidi, there is indeed some truth. Maybe Qidi will indeed Hence the chaos.”
"In his position, he will seek his own government."
"Your Majesty only puts the young master in charge of Guanzhong affairs."
"Young Master, you can just do your duty. As for the situation in Guandong, it will be handled by Your Majesty or the courtiers ordered by His Majesty. Why should you worry unfounded?"
"The affairs of the world are complicated."
"Promulgate laws, rectify the administration of officials, issue official documents, provide disaster relief and manage the people, organize the military and military, fair rewards and punishments, inspect farmers, repair city defenses, reward agricultural workers, stimulate scholars and merchants, change customs, provide food, clothing and daily life, complement each other with people's migration, register the population, farmland Taxes, corvees, etc. are all important officials of the country.”
"How many things has the young master been involved in?"
Fusu was speechless for a moment.
Meng Yi continued: "Master, you are too impetuous."
"Everyone in the world thinks that doing big things well is the foundation, but in fact this is not the case. The foundation of big politics lies in doing every little thing seriously and properly."
"Right now, the young master has become impatient with trivial matters, or has become dissatisfied with the way the government has been governed in the past few years, which has subsequently affected the judgment of government affairs. If such impetuous opinions continue to breed and are allowed to continue to permeate, he may become a young master. Such a big worry."
"In the past month, the young master has greatly changed from the empty talk of kindness in the past."
"But it's too much."
"Changes in the world don't happen overnight."
"I don't know why the young master has undergone such a change, but haven't you ever felt that some of your reactions were too strong? He even regards Confucianism as his enemy. How can such an impetuous nature interfere with the great political affairs?"
"Master, you should calm down."
Hear the words.
Fusu was sweating profusely.
Only under Meng Yi's generous words did he realize his impatience.
Just after hearing about the dangers of the Great Qin and knowing about the hard work of my father, I gradually lost my sense of proportion. I only wanted to relieve my father's worries and do more things for the Great Qin. However, I lost my original intention and became worried about gains and losses, even... Become eager for quick success.
I am not like this.
Fusu stood up and said, "Fusu was wrong."
Meng Yi shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It is normal for a young master to care about state affairs."
"But too much is not enough."
"The major affairs of the country are composed of thousands of small things. If you only think about the major affairs, you will only delay the country."
"Young Master said earlier that the strategy of 'Guan Shan Hai' came from this person."
"This is proof of this person's sharpness."
"But with this man's resourcefulness, he never said anything more."
"Young Master An, can you not understand the meaning?"
"Right now, there has been no trouble in Kantung because of this. Even if something does happen, Your Majesty will definitely ask the ministers to write a letter to express their views. With the knowledge of the ministers in the DPRK, how can they not see the benefits and harms involved? Moreover, I have been in the past few days. In the court, I have never heard of anyone writing a letter, and no one has talked about it. This is not a statement."
"Besides, if it is really necessary to mobilize the army, the generals in the DPRK will definitely be more enthusiastic."
"Your Majesty is so insightful, how can you make arbitrary decisions?"
"It will be well thought out."
"Even if this matter really involves a life-and-death struggle for the country."
"It is up to His Majesty to make the decision."
"Young master, you don't know His Majesty's decision right now, and you're not sure whether you are right. Isn't this disturbing yourself?"
"Young Master was kind in the past, but now he is eager to change. He has lost his kindness and failed to condense his own insight. If he continues to be so impetuous, it will only become more and more superficial. In the long run, he will definitely be hated by Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty treats the young master very highly. Why didn't the young master notice this?"
"Everything I say comes from the bottom of my heart."
"I hope the young master will consider it."
Meng Yi sighed and stopped there.
Fusu stood up, bowed deeply to Meng Yi, and said gratefully: "Thank you very much, Lieutenant Meng Ting, for reminding me. Fusu is grateful."
Meng Yi frowned slightly and said no more.
Fusu said nothing more, a trace of shame appeared on his pale face, and then he turned and left.
He didn't look back.
The stalwart figure gradually disappeared in the swaying lights of the hall.
Meng Yi stood there for a long time.
He stood at the door of the hall, silently watching Fusu leave. When the familiar figure completely disappeared from his eyes, he said softly: "Eldest Young Master, you must have your own opinion when things happen, but pursuing your own opinion too much may not necessarily lead to success." That’s a good thing.”
"The only thing I'm worried about is here!"
"I hope the young master can listen and calm down."
The rain is getting heavier.
But the rain gradually blurred.
For the next half month, Fusu didn't go out and stayed in Yong Palace.
The mind has no distractions and no other thoughts.
Fusu began to transform.
Some people say that the plot progress is a bit slow, and I think so too.
New plot starts tomorrow.
However, this book is biased towards reform, so it is unlikely to follow the path of broad opening and closing.
It shouldn't go anywhere soon.
