Yuanchun's words made Shuirong clearly understand the current situation.
The situation is that, regardless of whether this new policy is truly the legacy of the late emperor, it is already the legacy of the late emperor.
The two former and current cabinet ministers said yes, which means that even if the new party wants to oppose it, it would be hard to get slapped in the face.
The Queen Mother and her most trusted Marquis of Chu State said yes, which meant that the forces that relied on them, such as the nouveau riche, did not dare to object if they wanted to.
The statements of the other three pavilion elders indicate that most neutrals at least hold a wait-and-see attitude.
The most troublesome thing is the nobles who have always been the most powerful in the court. Because they will benefit the most from the follow-up measures, most of them will hold opposing opinions again.
That is to say, unless there are some disturbances in the implementation of the New Deal that cause shock to both the government and the public.
Otherwise, this new policy will be the legacy of the late emperor.
Thinking of this, Shui Rong could only sigh secretly, and then silently retreated into the crowd.
Under the current situation, it would be useless no matter what he said.
We can only go back and think about it in the long term and think of other solutions.
But obviously, there were not many choices left for him.
Seeing this, the only remaining members of the founding line were somewhat silent for a moment.
The two cases in Shandong are still fresh in our minds, and countless relatives have been implicated.
They are the only ones left, and they are powerless even if they want to oppose.
For a time, many people could only curse Emperor Jingshun in their hearts.
Because they believe that this is really the legacy of the late emperor.
After all, Emperor Jingshun was already suppressing the founding lineage during his lifetime.
It was only because of Emperor Tiantai's remaining power that he didn't really take action.
Now that the two men have passed away one after another, there is no longer any reason to restrain their hands.
In addition, the two Shandong cases were barely settled, which was when the founding line was at its weakest.
As the emperor's masters, it was natural for the two of them to fulfill the late emperor's will.
And the elder Xiaoge, who was trusted by the Queen Mother, was also a supporter of the New Deal.
This represents the support of the Queen Mother.
So they all know that Wei's reforms have put lice on the bald man's head.
And these founding figures are obviously one of the many lice!
Sure enough, after the cabinet reached consensus, no one spoke out against it.
Emperor Xuanzhi of the Yuan Dynasty issued a decree and made the subsequent measures famous throughout the world.
Here, Beijing County Prince Shui Rong winked at the founding nobles, and those who saw it nodded slightly, and then conveyed it to each other.
Apparently they had agreed to meet for a while.
Shui Rong hurried out of the palace, and just as he was about to get in the car, he saw a figure!
He was stunned for a moment, then walked over to him, cupped his hands and said:
"I haven't seen you for a long time, Marquis Zhongjing. I wonder if I have any free time today. How about we find a place to sit?"
Shi Ding frowned slightly when his way was blocked.
However, when he heard the gentle and jade-like voice, he quickly squeezed out a smile and returned the courtesy:
"Shi Ding shouldn't have refused the governor's kindness, but I'm going back to the southwest tomorrow and want to reunite with my family. I'll definitely pay him a visit next time I come back."
During the period of Emperor Jingshun, the Shi brothers had taken refuge with Emperor Jingshun early.
Except for a few real relatives, the rest of the old relatives have stopped moving except for basic etiquette during New Years and holidays.
Now that the situation between North Korea and China is unfavorable to Jianguo's family, how can Shi Ding have any contact with them?
Such obvious perfunctory behavior obviously made Shui Xiong feel a little embarrassed.
However, he did not feel angry at all. Instead, he said with regret:
"In that case, I won't bother you."
After saying that, he moved out of the way and motioned for Shi Ding to go first.
Although Shi Ding was a little surprised, he raised his hand without hesitation and said:
"Thank you so much, Commander."
After saying that, he hurriedly got into the car and whispered to the commander:
"Go to the Chu State Marquis' Mansion in the north of the city."
"yes."
The chief responded, turned his horse's head and left.
Shui Rong from behind watched him off with a smile on his face, thinking in his mind that he would take someone to see Shi Ding off tomorrow, so it wouldn't be too late to talk by then.
Unexpectedly, Shi Ding's carriage went in the opposite direction to the Hou Mansion.
This made the smile on Shui Rong's face gradually disappear.
On the other side, Feng Yibo had just arrived home and was about to talk to Li Shouzhong when his disciple came over and informed:
"Uncle, Marquis Zhongjing of the Shi family just came for a visit and is waiting in the foyer."
"Oh? Someone from the Shi family is here?"
Feng Yibo was not surprised and said with a smile on his face:
"You ask someone to take him to the main hall first, and tell him to come over immediately after I go back and change clothes."
"yes."
When Feng Yibo changed into casual clothes, he came to the main hall!
Before he entered the door, he smiled and said loudly:
"Oh my! It's really Feng Yuan's fault that I didn't come far enough to welcome my uncle."
When Shi Dingwen knew he was coming, he quickly stood up to greet him. He held his hands and said politely:
"Where is it! It's Mr. Shi who came without telling me. It's really a bit abrupt."
Feng Yibo quickly helped Shi Ding sit down and said with a smile:
"It stands to reason that when my uncle returns to the capital, he who is supposed to be a junior goes to visit him, but it is actually the year before and after the New Year, and the Ministry of Rites can't get away with it. I hope my uncle won't blame him."
Shi Ding stood up slightly, cupped his hands again and said:
"The Marquis of the State of Chu has betrayed me. Your famous name has long been heard in my ears. Unfortunately, I have been stationed in the southwest and have no chance to see you. That's why I took the liberty to come here today. I hope the Marquis of the State of Chu will not give up. I will eventually be able to see you. But I hope the official business of the Marquis of Chu will not be delayed."
Feng Yibo quickly held him down, sat on the main seat, waved his hand and said:
"Uncle, you're welcome. Apart from matters in the palace, what else is more important than seeing your uncle?"
As he spoke, he poured himself a cup of tea, took a casual sip, and then said:
"Speaking of which, the four families of King Jia Shi and Xue are closely related. My wife is from the Xue family. Naturally, my uncle is Feng Yuan's elder. Let's not call each other Lord Marquis. Just call me uncle and we'll have a good relationship."
This is discussed from Baochai's side.
From Daiyu's side, she should be called uncle.
Hearing this, Shi Ding smiled and nodded:
"In that case, I will follow the good deeds and ask for a big shout to win?"
Feng Yibo shook his head and said with a hint of anger:
"My uncle is an elder. Where did he come from?"
Seeing him like this, Shi Ding smiled and did not continue the pleasantries. Instead, he went straight to the topic and asked:
"I heard that Yibo is busy with official duties and rarely receives foreign visitors. I was welcomed in as soon as I arrived today. I must have guessed my purpose?"
While he was waiting in the foyer, he saw that the doorman politely and skillfully sent away one group of visitors after another.
He was the only one who was politely left behind, and someone offered him tea.
Obviously, this was Feng Yibo's order long ago.
Thinking of what Mrs. Wei said before, Shi Ding felt vaguely puzzled.
"They are all real relatives, naturally not foreigners. What's more, my uncle has been away from the capital for a long time and finally came back. How can Feng Yuan dare to turn him away?"
Feng Yibo smiled and concealed a few words, then changed the subject and said:
"Of course, I do have some guesses about my uncle's visit, but I don't know what it is for yet."
Obviously, this was to test Shi Ding to see if he had any thoughts on the New Deal.
Or just for Shi Xiangyun's sake.
Hearing this, Shi Ding smiled and said:
"You and I are all real relatives. We are here for the Chinese New Year, so naturally we are here for private matters."
He avoided the New Deal and naturally did not want to talk more about it.
Otherwise, what should I do if I am targeted by the Queen Mother's cronies and take action on Shi Jia?
Feng Yibo nodded to express his understanding and asked again:
"Does Sister Shi know about this?"
Although he intended to send Shi Xiangyun to the outer room, he did not want to force anyone into trouble.
After all, although Shi Xiangyun usually looks carefree, she is still just a little girl with hair extensions.
If you continue to seek death and survival because of this, it is not worth it.
Shi Ding frowned slightly, feeling that Feng Yibo's question was a bit outrageous.
The women in the boudoir are all the matchmakers ordered by their parents. What can Xiangyun do if she knows or not?
However, he also thought that Feng Yibo once said that he brought up Donghai County's proposal in order to make up for Xiangyun's failure to do something he asked him to do.
Thinking about it, this might be an attempt to gain Xiangyun's understanding.
When Shi Ding thought of this, he no longer concealed it and said with a wry smile:
"I'm not afraid of a joke. Originally, her aunt and I wanted to find a good husband for her in Duzhong or Jinling. But after she heard your advice from her aunt, she decided to leave. Thoughts abroad.”
When Feng Yibo heard this, he was determined.
Perhaps Xiangyun was discouraged and didn't want to live with the reputation of being a tough guy.
It may also be that you yearn for freedom and want to go out and see the vast world.
In short, she is willing to go overseas.
This is much easier to handle.
Shi Ding paused, as if he felt that saying this made Xiangyun lose some value, and he quickly added:
"Speaking of which, this child has a hard life. My eldest brother and sister-in-law only have a daughter. No matter what, I don't want her to be harmed in the slightest. So even though I haven't been here these years, her aunt has tried her best. But I didn't expect that... Failed in marriage."
Having said this, he couldn't help but sigh, and then continued:
"Alas! This child has been extremely sensible since he was a child. I'm afraid it's not because he feels that he has no face to stay in Duzhong or Jinling, but because he is afraid of dragging down the reputation of the Shi family, so he wants to marry overseas."
Feng Yibo might not have thought of this, but it sounds more reasonable.
After all, many people in this era are particularly interested in their family, even more than themselves!
For example, Yuanchun had the opportunity to follow him.
Feng Yibo nodded to express his understanding and said:
"Sister Lin and my wife have told me many times that Sister Shi's experience is indeed pitiful."
He first offered Daiyu and Baochai some words of comfort, then changed the subject and comforted:
"But going to Donghai County may not be as hard as my uncle thought. Going there will definitely be much better than staying in the capital and marrying casually. Let's not talk about anything else. I just say that the King of Donghai County respects women very much. Many things are handled by her two ladies. A lady like Sister Shi, who is both beautiful and clever, and quick-thinking, must be highly valued there. When the time comes, people can make the best use of their talents, and it will not be in vain that Sister Shi has studied in her boudoir all these years. Those books.”
This is definitely true.
There are many wealthy families in Donghai County now, but scholars are still rare.
Even though he established many schools, he was able to eliminate illiteracy among young people in just a few years.
The writing of administrative documents is still barely possible, and I can't even think of reaching the level of imperial examination.
Although Wang Xifeng and Keqing are good at management, they actually don't read much.
The few maids who came later could only recognize a few words.
Talented women like Tanchun and Xiangyun can directly take the lead in the Department of Culture.
When Shi Ding heard this, he still hesitated and said:
"But Donghai County is a place of miasma after all. I have seen it a lot in the southwest, and I know the suffering..."
In the eyes of the Wei Dynasty, Donghai County was a barren land.
Even Shi Ding, who was stationed in the southwest, felt that Donghai County was not as good as the southwest.
Even the county palace would not be much better than his living environment in the southwest.
When Feng Yibo heard this, he smiled and said:
"Although I have never been to the southwest, I have heard about it in documents and memorials. Unlike the southwest, which has lofty mountains, lush vegetation, and rampant insects, the place where the Prince of Donghai County is located is a basin with beautiful scenery and spring-like weather all year round. Today It has also been reclaimed and is no longer infested by so many wild beasts and insects.”
Hearing about the spring-like basin all year round, Shi Ding, who had been in the southwest for a long time, thought of Sichuan.
At this time, I heard Feng Yibo continue:
"In addition, the King of Donghai County vigorously developed medicine and built Donghai Medical College in the new city. Every village and town sent people to study to become village doctors, and restricted the people from drinking raw water. After various measures were implemented, the impact of miasma was greatly reduced. .”
Feng Yibo is a professional when it comes to Donghai County.
After all, these measures were all thought up by him based on his experiences in his previous life.
When Shi Ding heard these measures, his eyes could not help but shine, he stood up slightly, and said urgently:
"Oh? Is this really useful?"
He has been in the southwest for many years, and miasma has been plaguing the garrison and local natives.
If these problems can be solved, the natives will be able to completely return to their hearts!
"Uncle, you might as well try it when you get back. However, the terrain on both sides is different after all, so it will definitely have some effect, but it must be adapted to local conditions."
Feng Yibo naturally didn't finish his words and just looked at the other person with a smile.
Hearing this response, Shi Ding also calmed down, nodded and said:
"That's true. After all, this problem has existed for thousands of years. If it can be easily solved, I won't be able to wait until I do it."
When Feng Yibo saw him like this, he smiled and said:
"I can make a plan for my uncle later. Anyway, it's always good to try."
"Then it'll be hard work."
Shi Ding nodded and stopped dwelling on this matter. Instead, he circled back to Xiangyun and said:
"Originally, her aunt and I disagreed. After all, my eldest brother and sister-in-law only left such a daughter. Even if I give up my old face, I will find a suitable husband for her."
At this point, he changed the topic and said:
"But what happened at the court meeting today made me understand that even if she stays in the capital or Jinling, she may not be able to be thorough. Maybe, it will be the Shi family that drags her down in the end."
Shi Ding came here really because of Shi Xiangyun's affairs.
However, seeing Feng Yibo's attitude, he knew that this matter was not a big problem.
So now that the business was settled, I couldn't help but start making insinuations, trying to test the court's attitude towards the historian from Feng Yibo.
After saying this, he inevitably felt a little guilty, so he continued to add:
"So I came to you today just to ask what the actual situation is in Donghai County. Now that I heard what Yibo said, I can rest assured."
