Chapter 1568 Suspected poisoning incident
Qiu Jie was drinking tea angrily, and the country respected the elderly. Even if Zhu Gaochi was here, he would not be afraid.
Fang Xing wiped his face with his hand and said, "Mr. Qinzhai, it's better to be scattered than to block it! If the court kept blocking, they wouldn't be honest at that time. They would have been there before going to sea privately, and of course they would not be missing in the future. What would it look like?"
Qiu Zhen was a little surprised. He lived in Jinling for a long time and taught all day long, and did not know the situation along the coast.
"Do they still dare to hang out together...hiss!"
Qiu Zhen thought of the consequences and blurted out: "At that time, there was a lot of money, hey! But only treasure money can pass..."
Qiu Jian couldn't help but look Fang Xing up and down, and said with a caress: "The court cleared the treasure money and banned gold and silver. At first, I thought it was just a standard, but now it seems that I'm far away!"
Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji smiled at each other, but refused to explain the key points in detail.
If private merchants are allowed to go overseas to trade, it will cause a large inflow of silver. Even if it is exchanged for all of them into treasure banknotes, the impact on prices can be imagined.
The key to everything is that at this time, there was no goods that the Ming Dynasty valued for for exchange or purchase, so once large-scale foreign trade was traded, it would inevitably be a large surplus.
This large surplus must be controlled by the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Revenue will recover treasure money from various channels according to the situation to ensure the relative stability of prices.
The large inflow of silver brought by the Longqing switch directly turned Baochao into waste paper, and silver became the mainstream currency in a panic.
Everything that happened after the Ming Dynasty was brewed against this background. The influence and wide spread were only seen in the Ming Dynasty.
Fang Xing then sent Qiu Jian out, and on the way, Qiu Jian said, "Your science man has read and learned it, which is interesting. But there is nothing to persuade people's hearts. Why is this?"
This old man has become a sperm!
Fang Xing did not hesitate when facing the temptation, and then said, "Isn't there any Confucianism in persuading people's hearts? Science is just a practical study, and it is important to use it. You can also understand it as investigating things."
This posture is very low and clever.
The work of educating people’s hearts still requires Confucianism to be competent!
When he arrived outside the mansion and saw the old horse pulling the cart, Fang Xing offered to give Qiu Jian a good horse, but he was rejected.
"I am old and I can't say that I will go someday, so why bother to spend it! There are not many horses in the Ming Dynasty, keep them."
Seeing Qiu Zhen getting on the carriage tremblingly, Fang Xing kept watching the carriage go away, and then went back to find Zhu Zhanji.
Zhu Zhanji obviously had no choice but to the old man: "This man is highly moral and does not seek fame and fortune. He is a rare gentleman. In addition, he is old, even if his father is here, he may only listen and be difficult to speak."
The person who is a mature person is talking about people like Qiu Zhen. Zhu Zhanji has already realized it. Qiu Zhen seems to be aggressive, but his purpose is just to warn him.
Young people, don’t make the South chaotic!
This young man not only refers to Fang Xing, but also Zhu Zhanji.
Rely on your seniority!
"He is very open-minded about science. It seems that he has read those books seriously, but he is very afraid of going to sea. This is the limitation."
Fang Xing frowned and said, "And according to his meaning, I am a little wary of fighting in Jinling, but I still tend to be conservative!"
Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "The respect he deserves will be given, but state affairs cannot be changed for the sake of respect."
This is the confidence of the crown prince!
Fang Xing nodded and said, "It's just that, I just don't know what he will say when he goes back. If we make a mess, we will have more opponents."
...
But after Qiu Zhen returned, several former students were worried about him and kept waiting at home, but the old man simply praised Zhu Zhanji.
"Your Highness, he said that you are extraordinary, kind to others, and have a unique vision."
Jia Quan felt that the old man was just flattering, first with a puff, and then lowered his posture.
But Zhu Zhanji thought Qiu Jian was very interesting.
"Your Highness, that Duke Qinzhai doesn't look very good!"
Um?
Zhu Zhanji frowned and said, "What do you know! This is taking the overall situation into consideration."
Seeing that Jia Quan was still a little dissatisfied, Zhu Zhanji taught a lesson: "If he went back and said in a vague way how arrogant and unkind I was, could I still move him?"
Such a gentleman is extremely popular. Even if Zhu Di is there, he will just laugh it off, otherwise he will just slander himself.
Jia Quan admitted his mistake and went out to find Fang Xing to solve his doubts.
Fang Xing was making dinner with Mo Chou, and hurriedly came out to listen to the question, and said hurriedly: "A man is old and mature. Unless it is Yan Bingxing who is so angry, who will be foolish to touch His Highness's bad luck? Besides, he is content with poverty and is willing to buy scientific books to learn. Such people are not pedantic. Okay, get out!"
Fang Xing walked in and Jia Quan went back in a daze.
Shen Shitou was already having a meal. A large bowl bigger than his head was filled with rice and two grilled fish on it.
The fish was well roasted, with few fine thorns. Shen Shitou chewed the fish bones together, then slapped a large mouthful of rice and sighed with satisfaction.
Seeing Jia Quan coming in listlessly, Shen Shitou pointed at the table with chopsticks and said, "You are there."
Jia Quan was a little confused. He felt that his future should not have two possibilities: one was to wait for Zhu Zhanji to ascend the throne and serve as the commander of the guard; the other was to be released after Zhu Zhanji ascend the throne.
But if you are not considerate, how can you put it out?
Jia Quan, who was determined to let him go, started eating grilled fish without realizing it, and he didn't know how to eat it.
Shen Shitou had a very good appetite. After eating a large bowl of rice, he was still unsatisfied with preparing to make a small bowl of noodles to finish it.
When he came back from eating noodles in the kitchen, he heard Jia Quan's severe cough outside the house.
When he went in, he saw Jia Quan holding the table with his hand, bent down and vomiting.
"Is it poisonous? Come on! Call the doctor!"
Shen Shitou shouted, then turned around and ran to Zhu Zhanji. On the way, he met a guard and whispered: "Go to Xinghe Bo and tell him not to eat first."
The guard immediately ran towards Zhu Zhanji when he saw him, and felt excited, and then he quickly informed Fang Xing.
...
"What? Poisonous?"
Fang Xing was chewing a piece of stir-fried meat slices in his mouth, and he felt that the taste of adding cumin was exactly the same as that of barbecue. Hearing this, he looked at Mochou.
Mochou was not panicked and lowered his eyes and said, "Master, our ingredients today are given by God's House."
"oh!"
Fang Xing swallowed the slices of meat, then suddenly put down the bowl, and rushed out one end.
Mo Chou also remembered it, she stood up and looked outside with a melancholy look.
...
Fang Xing ran all the way to Zhu Zhanji. At this moment, people were already surrounded, and Zhu Zhanji's impatient voice came out.
"There is nothing, the ingredients come from the freshest, where does the poison come from?!"
The imperial doctor who followed was already checking Zhu Zhanji. Fang Xing went in and dispersed the guards and asked, "How does it feel in the belly?"
Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "It's very good, I think I can eat three bowls of rice."
Fang Xing held the small bottle in his hand tightly, turned around and asked, "How is Jia Quan?"
Someone rushed over to ask, and came back later and reported: "Brother, Lord Jia... was stuck by a fishbone."
...
Zhu Zhanji's residence was noisy, and the news soon spread.
As a result, all officials from all over the Jinling came, some were worried, some were expressionless, and some were panicked...
