"Brother Bao, you don't have to worry about this. I have given them a choice. Those who are willing to stay will naturally not be treated badly by the Feng Mansion. Those who are willing to go home have been given money and sent to the official ship to return to Jiangnan. He went to join his family."
Feng Yibo saw that he kept making light of this matter, so he simply talked about it.
Baoyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he finally responded positively and stopped talking about those reasons.
But just as he smiled and wanted to thank him, Feng Yibo smiled again and said:
"It's just interesting to say that you won't care about the teachers and musicians. And among the twelve actors, only Baoguan and Yuguan chose to go home, and the others chose to stay. It seems that Baoyu and Guan No one has as much trust in me as Brother Baoyu."
Baoyu heard that there was something in his words, but he just laughed and said:
"They must have relatives at home!"
He came here just to see Tanchun off and take care of the actors.
If he had known that Feng Yibo would be like this after coming over, he would never have cared about it.
Unfortunately, it was too late for him to regret it now.
"I think the choice of Baoyu and his wife is not bad. In other words, once they have the power to choose, they don't want to pin their hopes on others."
There was something in Feng Yibo's words, and Baoyu had already guessed what he was going to say.
But for Baoyu, this kind of truth is like maggots on the tarsal bones. He is already disgusted with it, but it is hard to fall out.
He had already made up his mind that if he could not see Feng Yibo in the future, he would definitely disappear.
"After all, my promise that I won't treat them badly in the future is just an empty promise. The initiative rests entirely with me, and I might forget it when I turn around."
Seeing Feng Yibo going around and around him, Baoyu couldn't help it anymore, and said with a trace of impatience:
"If you forget, just forget it, Brother Feng, I just mentioned it casually, it's enough now that I know you have made arrangements."
Feng Yibo could hear his impatience, but still didn't intend to end it, and said:
"Even if Brother Bao doesn't ask me to take care of you today, I will arrange it this way. But if I don't make any arrangements in advance and just promise to give you this face and then forget about it, then won't all your thoughts be wasted? ?」
"I believe Brother Feng will do what he says, besides..."
Baoyu responded perfunctorily, paused, put away his impatience, and said sincerely:
"I'm just asking for a clear conscience."
This is what he thinks.
The beauty of these actors made him feel a little concerned, but not to the extent that he took action for them.
You're here, just ask around and you'll feel at ease.
"What a clear conscience. It shows that Brother Bao has a pure heart."
Seeing Feng Yibo nodded in agreement.
But just when Baoyu thought it was finally over, he smiled and asked:
"It's just that I will naturally do what I promised you, but when you face other difficulties, do you feel guilty just asking?"
At this point, Baoyu really wanted to leave.
With his intelligence, he naturally understood that Feng Yibo was telling him:
Seek others rather than yourself.
But this kind of truth is what Baoyu is most impatient with.
He really didn't understand why Feng Yibo singled out what he didn't like to hear.
"Brother Bao, you should know that the Queen Mother has always placed high hopes on you. For the sake of the Queen Mother, I have said a lot to you."
Baoyu was slightly surprised when he mentioned Yuanchun.
This sister has been in the palace for many years, and the memory in his heart has long been forgotten.
If not for Jia Mu occasionally mentioning the past and how she taught herself back then.
Coupled with the previous marriage visit, she also treats herself very differently.
Baoyu has even forgotten her existence.
Now, this sister is the Queen Mother.
This pair of Rongfu and
For him, it's a great thing.
As a result, he became the uncle of the state and was highly sought after everywhere.
Although Baoyu never mentioned this kind of pursuit, he felt very grateful for it.
When he heard Feng Yibo mention the Queen Mother, he finally suppressed his impatience and wanted to hear what the other party had to say.
"I know that with your intelligence, you already know what I mean, but obviously you don't agree. So, I have a few final words to give you."
When Baoyu heard this, he had to act like he was listening attentively, and immediately bowed and said:
"Brother Feng, please give me some advice."
Seeing that his attitude had improved, Feng Yibo nodded slightly and said:
"Mencius said: Wealth and honor cannot be suppressed, poverty and lowliness cannot be moved, and power cannot be bent. This is called a true man."
He quoted the words of a sage at the beginning, which immediately made Baoyu's curiosity disappear.
"There are still many people who believe that a true man is a man who has ambition, integrity, and achievements. He is born between heaven and earth, helps the world and the people, and is loyal to the king and the country."
After working on it for a long time, are these the same principles?
When Baoyu heard this, the remaining half of his curiosity was gone.
At this time, Feng Yibo paused slightly and changed the topic:
"But I think that as long as a man can shoulder his responsibilities, he is a man who is upright and upright!"
responsibility……
When Baoyu heard this word, he resisted from the bottom of his heart.
But he didn't want to listen to the other party's nagging anymore, so he quickly forced out a smile and said with a bit of flattery:
"Brother Feng is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. I have learned a lesson today."
"you need to know……"
Feng Yibo was still unfinished and wanted to continue, but saw Xiu Ju appearing at the door.
Seemingly seeing him talking, he didn't come in to disturb him.
Feng Yibo waved to her, and then Xiuju came over and saluted:
"Uncle, my aunt invites you."
When Baoyu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he hurriedly said:
"Brother Feng, go quickly. The third sister came here today just to ask you about overseas affairs. I just sent her here and mentioned something else by the way."
When Feng Yibo saw how busy he was trying to get him to leave, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head:
"I can see that Brother Bao doesn't like hearing this."
Baoyu smiled, acquiescing.
Unexpectedly, Feng Yibo smiled, but continued:
"So, this is the last time I will tell you this. After all, the burden of the Rong Mansion now falls on the second wife. In the future, His Majesty will be in charge, and there is no chance that there will be any divine grace."
In the future, Emperor Xuanzhi will be in charge and will grant Jia Zheng's title hereditary.
In order to appease his family, Yuanchun had actually revealed a little bit to Mrs. Wang.
But Baoyu didn't know this, and didn't understand what he meant.
Feng Yibo shook his head and said:
"It's a bit far to say, but when I tell you this, I just want the Queen Mother to focus on Your Majesty instead of being distracted by her mother's family. I don't ask you to take over the family business immediately. I just hope that you can dream about it at midnight. When you return, think about it more in your mind."
After saying that, Feng Yibo sighed, then left with Xiu Ju and went to the back house.
"Uu~"
Baoyu breathed a long sigh of relief, slumped down on the chair, picked up the wine glass and poured himself a drink.
"Brother Bao, I'll drink with you!"
Xue Pan smiled happily and advised:
"You have to know that your brother Feng is a person who does big things. For people like us, it is indeed a bit harsh. Although it is for our own good, it is inevitable that he will look down upon us. If we can do it, why don't we use it? Did he say that?"
At this point, he also became melancholy, filled a cup, and said:
"Oh! It's boring not to talk about this. Come! Let's drink!"
? ? ?
Baoyu's face was full of question marks, and she touched him a little aggrievedly.
since
When did you start comparing yourself to him?
He was not moved by Feng Yibo's words, but his self-esteem was severely hurt by Xue Pan's words.
Here, Baoyu began to think about what he had done and whether he was really put in the same category as this stupid overlord.
On the other side, Feng Yibo has arrived at Yingchun's house.
After the two sides greeted each other, he asked:
"I heard from Brother Bao that the third sister is here to inquire about overseas affairs?"
Last time, he had already said everything he could say about Donghai County, and he didn't know what Tanchun would ask when he came this time.
"Brother Feng gave some Japanese maidens to Rong Mansion a while ago, and yesterday he gave two Gao Liji as gifts."
Tanchun heard him ask and said slightly shyly:
"After listening to their stories, I wanted to ask if it's really like that overseas..."
When Feng Yibo heard this, it seemed that he was not asking about Donghai County, so he smiled and said:
"What did they say?"
Now that the matter was over, Tanchun said it directly.
"The Japanese girl said, the life of the Japanese king..."
"Gaoli Ji said that the palace banquet of the King of Koryo..."
After listening to Tanchun explain the misery of the two royal families, Feng Yibo understood what she meant.
"What they said is right or wrong."
He was a little funny in his heart, but he still explained:
"The Japanese king had no power before. He was just a mascot. The real power lies in the hands of the shogunate and daimyo below. Therefore, the Japanese king does not live up to his name, and it is reasonable for the Japanese king to live a miserable life."
"And Donghai County was conquered by the King of Donghai County. In Donghai County, there is no comparison between the two. Most of the land and wealth in Donghai County are the private property of Heilong Mansion. Not to mention that they are as rich as the country and are extremely extravagant. , and it won’t be as miserable as the Japanese king.”
"Goryeo is mountainous and the land is very barren. It is also located in the northeast and has a long winter. In order to facilitate storage, it is natural to pickle it into pickles. There is no way around the lack of supplies. It is good to have enough food."
"Donghai County is located in the tropics, with warm and humid weather all year round, so there is naturally no shortage of fruits and vegetables of all kinds. What's more, the King of Donghai County and his men are all from Jiangnan, so there is no need to worry about not being to your taste.
Tanchun finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
When Yingchun saw her like this, she couldn't help laughing and said:
"You should feel relieved now, right?"
When Tanchun heard this, his face turned red and he said harshly:
"Why am I worried? I just heard that he is still living in poverty in the royal family, and I am a little worried that we Wei people will not live well overseas."
Tan Chun had just talked about the royal families of the two countries, and Feng Yibo already understood what she meant.
So from beginning to end, she never mentioned Donghai County.
But now that I say this, it seems a bit self-inflicted.
Yingchun couldn't help but laugh and said:
"Yes, yes, you are worried about overseas immigration, and what you are asking about is not about the Donghai County Prince's Palace, haha!"
Tanchun immediately pulled at him in embarrassment and said:
"Second sister!"
She shouted "Welcome to Spring", but her eyes that looked forward to Shen Fei couldn't help but look at Feng Yibo.
Seeing this, Feng Yibo smiled and helped her out:
"Whether in the Wei Dynasty or in Donghai County, there are people who are living well and some who are not living well. In contrast, there are not many people living in the best life in Donghai County, and there are not many people living badly. Most people just have enough food and clothing."
These words aroused Tanchun's curiosity, and he couldn't help but ask:
"Why is this?"
Feng Yibo smiled and said with a hint of pride:
"Because the land in Donghai County belongs to Heilong Mansion, it is impossible to buy land. You can only rent a fixed amount of land according to the restrictions of Heilong Mansion. This prevents wealthy families from annexing the land, and because of this, most of the food flows into Heilong. The government, run by the Black Dragon Mansion, can control prices to a certain extent and prevent merchants from hoarding."
The land in Donghai County was conquered by the Black Dragon Mansion with real swords and guns. It is nominally owned by the Black Dragon Mansion.
have.
Whether it is farming or building a house, it requires approval from the Black Dragon Mansion.
Such extreme land annexation achieves the public ownership of land that Feng Yibo wants in disguise.
This is something he is proud of.
Speaking of this, he said with a smile:
"So, it's not easy for ordinary people to get rich in Donghai County, but as long as they work hard, they can have enough food and clothing."
Tanchun couldn't help being surprised when he heard this. He pondered for a moment and asked innocently:
"So, if the Wei Dynasty also takes back the land to the imperial court..."
She is a boudoir girl, but she also understands some of the benefits of doing so.
The national tax revenue is stable and the people have no worries about food and clothing.
It is not an exaggeration to say that such a country is Datong.
But after all, she is just a boudoir woman and has no understanding of the operation of the court.
The Wei Dynasty has a vast territory, with different people and different amounts of land. The various aristocratic families and local wealthy families are intertwined.
What can be solved by simply applying policies crudely?
"It definitely won't work."
Feng Yibo smiled and shook his head and explained:
"Donghai County established this rule at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and although Donghai County does not have a large territory, it has fewer people. When the land has many people but few people, it is natural to divide it as you want.
The situation in the Wei Dynasty is much more complicated. There is currently no environment to implement this policy. If we really want to do this, landlords all over the world will join forces and do the opposite. It is really not worth the gain. "
The bottom layer of Wei's power structure was the landlords and gentry.
Unless this power structure is completely broken, it will be impossible to realize public ownership of land.
Tanchun nodded disappointedly and asked again:
"Then there's nothing we can do?"
She didn't understand the affairs of the court, but she also heard that this was a good thing that benefited the country and the people.
If it can be realized, people's lives will be much easier.
But obviously, this touched the interests of the landowners and gentry.
"It's not that it's impossible, it's just that the time is not yet ripe."
Feng Yibo smiled and did not continue.
Then he continued to chat with the second daughter about overseas affairs.
He just said that the time is not yet ripe.
However, in fact, he had already written the memorial, but had not yet submitted it.
He must carefully consider who should take the lead in this memorial.
Even if he is as powerful as he is, he would not dare to raise it easily.
Now, he just needs someone to test the waters first.
And he is responsible for escorting from behind and checking for deficiencies.
The reason for being so cautious is because the core of this memorial is just four words.
