"Well, I don't feel good about being poked. But if I don't show weakness now, what if I don't win the public opinion and get the emperor's support?" Song Yingchang expressed his worries.
"If we don't shout out loud and argue with reason, how can the emperor trust us to lead the subsequent reforms?" Wang Jia'an said anxiously.
"Oh, that's right. As the saying goes, ministers choose kings, and kings choose ministers. Brother Song, if you want to use this to test the emperor's determination, why didn't the emperor want to use this to test our determination?" Xu Guo As if he understood something, he quickly added it.
While the three of them were struggling, You Qi, the housekeeper of Zhang Juzheng’s house in the distance, hurried over.
"Master Song, Master Song, the three adults are easy to find."
Seeing a man who looked like a housekeeper greeting Jilaishu, the three of them were a little confused.
However, You Qi was not embarrassed, and he pulled out three invitations like a magic trick.
"Please come to today's dinner party."
Until You Qi left, the three of them were confused. Because although Zhang Juzheng helped speak at the Sutra banquet, he had always acted in a very orderly manner. The two words "reform" and "reform" seem to have nothing to do with each other to the naked eye.
Moreover, he was recently promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War. Although he is not a very popular minister, he is only one step away from joining the cabinet and becoming the prime minister.
If he participates, will the surname of this reform be Zhang, Gao or Song?
Of course, if there is such a Qingliu core Minister of the Ministry of War to support him, there will be many benefits. It just depends on the choice.
The three of them chattered all the way without reaching an agreement, but they arrived at the door of Zhang Juzheng's residence in an honest manner.
"Hey, why did we reach Zhang's Mansion?" Wang Jia'an was surprised to see that he had reached someone else's territory.
"Since you've come, let's make peace with it. Let's go in and have a look." Xu Guo was much more mature and wanted to go in and take a look first. The market won't get any worse.
"Well, let's go in" Song Yingchang finally made the decision. Under the guidance of You Qi who came out, the three of them walked in through the small door next to the main entrance of Zhang Mansion.
"It's not easy to invite you here." Zhang Juzheng stood up at the main seat to say hello.
"Jingxiu, come and meet these three uncles." Looking at his teenage son passing by the door, Zhang Juzheng hurriedly called in to greet him.
"No, no, just call me brother. Mr. Zhang is a highly respected teacher and a role model for our generation to learn from." Song Yingchang quickly returned the gift.
This thing, if you really want to recognize him as an uncle, wouldn’t he be the same generation as Zhang Juzheng? My own teacher is not even on an equal footing with Zhang Juzheng. As a student of Xiao Xiami, I should be more humble. As the elder, Zhang Juzheng should give the younger generation a hand no matter what.
It was only Song Yingchang's words that made Zhang Juzheng and his two companions a little surprised.
"Haha, I thought you were a little aloof, but this is better, better. Let me show you this first."
Zhang Juzheng sent his son away first and took out a few folds hidden in his sleeves.
"Ying Chang, tell me, someone wrote a letter to your teacher. Why doesn't he ever reply?" Zhang Juzheng sent the note while looking at Song Yingchang with a questioning look on his face.
Such an arrogant teacher could actually cultivate such an easy-going student. It's unreasonable. This is what Zhang Juzheng was wondering about just now.
The content of this letter is quite simple. It turns out that due to the promotion of four-wheeled carriages, coal mining has become profitable. The boss has been formed.
These people were originally bitter landlords in the mountains. These landlords were unable to enter the plains and were squeezed out. Now with the changes brought about by the four-wheeled carriages, After managing the operation by myself, I was finally able to make a comeback with Hangzhou Xinxue Salted Fish, but I didn’t want to go back to the miserable days of having only three meals of white rice and pickles.
Originally, these people watched Xinxue decline. When the local government started to make things difficult for him, he tried to find Gao Hanwen to report to the group. However, when he got to Gao Hanwen, these letters were basically useless.
After realizing that Gao Hanwen's status as a strict party member was worthless, he inquired again. When Zhang Juzheng came forward to help Hangzhou Xinxue at the Jingyan Festival, he asked someone to contact You Qi, and it was transferred to Zhang Juzheng.
