Chapter 493 Dragon Boat Festival sentient beings (two in one)(2/4)
In this life, he only needs his wife's support and help.
Outsiders’ comments? Why fear!
Changes in the sky are not enough to fear, ancestors are not enough to follow the law, and human words are not enough to show sympathy!
Although these three sentences were distorted by others and widely circulated rumors.
But Wang Anshi never denied it.
Because in his heart, he really felt that these three sentences were very good! They spoke to his heart!
…
The Dragon Boat Festival customs in Guangxi are not much different from those in the Central Plains.
Early in the morning, Yongzhou City was already filled with the smell of mugwort.
A dragon boat race of unprecedented scale was held in the Yongjiang River outside the city.
Native officials from all over Guangxi, as well as chieftains from Jiangbei, Jiaozhou.
They all selected a dragon boat team from their respective places and came to Yongzhou to compete.
Zhang Dun was sitting on the platform that had been set up early, watching the dragon boats racing forward in the Yong River. The waves were rushing, and tens of thousands of spectators were shouting and cheering.
This made Zhang Dun look a little nostalgic for Bianjing.
"At this time in previous years, the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty would also hold a dragon boat race in Jinming Pool."
"The emperor will even come to Jinmingchi in person to enjoy it with the people."
"Often at this time, there are hundreds of thousands of spectators in Jinming Pool..." Zhang Dun sighed and couldn't help but sigh.
Nowadays, officials are still observing filial piety.
The dragon boat race in Jinmingchi is definitely a no-go.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations will not be held, and the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival is a no-brainer.
These are the greatest events in the world, and we still have to wait two years.
Only when the emperor's period of filial piety is over can we really start to take care of things.
Just as Zhang Dun was sighing, Gao Zunhui came to Zhang Dun drunkenly with a glass of calamus wine.
This uncle of the Empress Dowager is now very proud of himself.
The news came from Bianjing that this national relative was destined to rise to a high position.
Gao Zunhui was originally a civil servant and court official of the eighth rank. He was appointed Feng Yilang before he went south.
When going south, you can exchange special orders for military equipment. According to the system of the country, if you exchange cultural equipment for military equipment, you can be promoted to a higher level.
Therefore, Gao Zunhui transformed into a military minister of the seventh rank, and was specially appointed as Zuozangku Envoy, so that he could handle official affairs for Guangxi Zouma as Zuozangku Envoy.
For my relatives, this is a transition.
Even if he didn't make any achievements this time when he went south, he could safely be promoted to the imperial envoy after returning to the court.
And now he has made a meritorious deed!
The chieftains of Jiangbei states and the economic and strategic envoys of Guangxi all reported to the imperial court - Guangxi Zuma took over the official affairs with great obedience, used righteousness to cherish the future, planned for the distant future, and cared for the people.
Of course, the credit is not a little bit.
So, the court happily accepted it.
Therefore, according to the news from Bianjing, when Gao Zunhui returns to Beijing and discusses his merits, Yaojun will definitely not be able to escape. It depends on which level of the military minister he is in Hengxingguan.
Maybe, in a few years, this close relative of the country will be appointed as the official.
This is the cousin.
As long as you make a little merit, you can barely stop others' mouths, and your promotion will be as easy as drinking water. Outsiders will certainly not envy you.
What makes people even more jealous is that this countryman has done a lot of big business in Cochin.
Until now, there are still merchants and even officers and soldiers from Mingzhou escorting the sugarcane seedlings from Mingzhou all the way.
I heard that the official family used internal funds to allocate money to Mingzhou and Suzhou to buy sugarcane seedlings.
And Chen Mu, the magistrate of Mingzhou, has always been a minister famous for kneeling and licking the emperor.
Not to mention the officials are willing to give money.
Even if it's nothing, that guy Chen Mu will buy sugarcane seedlings from the private sector with money from the Yamen envoy and send them here.
As a result, the planting area of sugarcane fields in the northern states of Jiaozhou has been expanding.
Zhang Dun heard that it is now almost 100,000 acres.
It’s a bit exaggerated indeed!
What if this countryman really succeeded in planting sugar cane in Jiaozhou?
In the future, the wealth of the Gao family will be unimaginable!
But what really surprised Zhang Dun was this nationalist's knowledge of life.
As far as Zhang Dun knew, a large number of people had gathered around Gao Zunhui these days.
There are local officials, local wealthy families, and people from Bianjing.
The Cao family, Liu family, Xiang family, and Wang family all seem to have sent some servants to help.
It is said that Gao Zunhui and the others are following the method of fighting for ties. They will plant sugar cane together and open a cane sugar workshop. When the sugar is produced, they will work together to sell it to Bianjing, Yangzhou, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Jiangning, Heyang, and Luoyang.
Access to other places, make money together!
not only that.
This national relative also sent the dry stocks of Douniu to Yousi in Guangxi.
Miao Shizhong, Cen Ziting, Lu Jiawen, Guan Qi, everyone has a share in it.
Even Zhang Dun gave away about one hundred and fifty dry shares.
It was just declined by Zhang Dun.
But Gao Zunhui looked back like a normal person, not angry, and still talked and laughed with him.
All I can say is that this relative of the Great Song Dynasty was born like this.
The Gao family is worthy of the heritage of a century-old family of honorable ministers.
Gao Zunhui held up the wine glass swayingly and bowed slightly to Zhang Dun: "I would like to ask Mr. Jinglue to drink this glass to the full."
Zhang Dun smiled and held up the calamus wine, returned the favor, and drank it all in one gulp.
Taking advantage of this moment, Gao Zunhui approached Zhang Dun and whispered: "My lord, Hier... the official... the official asked me to bring you a message."
Zhang Dun raised his brows and swallowed.
Of course he knew that this countryman had a special contact method that could directly contact Bianjing City and reach the imperial court.
Just like Gao Gongji and Xiang Zonghui in Xihe.
"Official words..."
"Please my husband, please be patient here in Guangxi for half a year..."
"Hiccup... the words of the official family will definitely live up to your authority!"
Zhang Dun listened, took a deep breath, then lowered his voice and said to Gao Zunhui: "Please return to the official's house..."
"I will obey the official command in everything!"
In his heart, Zhang Dun had already set off huge waves.
Although he actually always had speculations.
But this is the first time it has been confirmed that the official family has actually been paying close attention to him and even has high hopes for him!
Zhang Dun knew that this could only be an instruction from the late emperor to the officials.
At the same time, Zhang Dun finally understood why Gao Zunhui was so courageous!
It turned out that the person supporting him behind the scenes was not the Empress Dowager as most people had guessed.
But the official family!
In the beginning, that's it!
I really don’t know how Xiaoguan’s family did it?
Could it be that it is really the power of ghosts and gods?
If Zhao Xu were here, he would definitely tell Zhang Dun - no, that's Chao's ability.
As long as the relatives of the Song Dynasty can make money, everything will be easy.
This is their nature.
