Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Returning to his room, Karamatsu sat down and took a closer look at the bamboo pattern paper he took from Crystal.

    After looking at it, it turned out to be very boring. The thick pile of bamboo paper was filled with travel experiences.  When traveling through a certain place on a certain day of a certain month, you will see along the way what the moisture in the fields is like, how the crops are growing, how the people are dressed, how the market is prospering, what is the price of salt, how is the price of iron and so on.  .

    I looked through many pieces of bamboo pattern paper and found these things all on them.  Moreover, the records became more and more detailed, almost like a running account, which only made Karamatsu's eyes feel numb and his head dizzy.

    But after watching more, I gradually started to see some clues.  For example, these records were very messy at first, and they obviously remembered whatever they saw, but later on they gradually became organized.

    Another example is that the previous record is just a dry record and has no connection with other records.  But later on, Crystal began to consciously compare and analyze different record data from the two places, and based on the results of the analysis, he made preliminary judgments on the governance capabilities of different local officials.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    ¡° Seeing the concerns about drought among many local people recorded on the paper, as well as the folk proverbs that vaguely indicate that next year may be a year of severe drought, Tang Song couldn¡¯t help but think of Di Renjie¡¯s previous worries.

    Unlike later generations, in this era of limited productivity, people will actually starve to death in years of famine. The more severe the disaster, the more people will starve to death.

    When I think of the victims starving to death in large numbers.  Even when the scene of a two-legged sheep exchanging its offspring and eating it appeared, Tang Song would inevitably feel nervous. No one would want to see such a tragic situation.

    Responding to famines, especially major ones, ultimately depends on the court.  Think of this.  The worries in Karamatsu's heart were relieved a lot.  After all, although the emperor in today's court is not powerful, Di Renjie, who is in charge of political affairs, is a famous official of the generation. He not only values ??the people, but also has rich experience and ability in governing. More importantly, he is mentally prepared and prepared for possible disasters.  If you think about it this way, even if next year is really a disaster year, the situation will not be too bad, right?

    The worries are gone.  Karamatsu then turned his attention to these bamboo pattern papers and took them back to the crystal.

    The things written on the bamboo paper are trivial and boring. Not to mention the women of this era, even the vast majority of men will lack interest in them because they are boring.  Crystal is a young girl who has not been out of autism for a long time.  He is not the kind of official who must pursue his own affairs in his position. How can he be so interested in these things that others avoid?

    Are her hobbies too weird?

    Or is it because she was confined in a Taoist temple in the mountains for too long that she is particularly interested in the fireworks life of ordinary people in the world of mortals?

    Or maybe she is just interested in these things deep down?

    I thought about it for a while but didn¡¯t have a definite answer.  At this moment, the crystal was no longer in front of him. Tang Song looked at the thick stack of bamboo pattern paper in his hand, feeling a lot of pity in his heart.

    Think about this girl¡¯s life experience.  Thinking about her growth process, it was not easy!

    After having dinner at home at noon, Tang Song went to the secretary prison on time in the afternoon.  This ghost place is so quiet, so quiet that even his second-in-command secretary, the Young Superintendent, doesn¡¯t have much serious business to do.

    After walking around the huge official room.  He then went to the book bureau under the supervision of the secretary.

    Although the Books Bureau is a permanent institution, there are actually not many permanent staff in it.  Unless there is a big event like the imperial court revising its history.  This place will really become lively.  But once the history compilation is completed, the people transferred will either be promoted.  Or return to the original Yamen, and this place will become deserted again.

    It has been nearly a hundred years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and the large-scale history compilation of the previous dynasty has long been completed.  The Publishing House has actually been deserted for a long time, and there are only two larger writing teams still stationed here.  One was the team that revised the "Record of Surnames" led by Du Shenyan; the other was naturally the team that drafted the examination standards for new officials headed by Yao Chong.

    Both of these are major events, and they are both matters that Karamatsu is extremely concerned about.  Therefore, since he took up his new position, whether it is personnel deployment or material supply, it can be said that he has devoted all his secretarial supervisor's resources to support the operation of these two writing teams. This has greatly boosted the morale of all participants in these two teams. Dynasty  The panic after the change quickly settled down, and work progressed faster than before.

    After visiting Du Shenyan for a while, and then meeting with Yao Chong and Song Jing to discuss some new problems, Tang Song took a new task and returned to his office.

    However, he was not in a hurry to start working, but first gave a message to someone far away in YangzhouChen Yizhe and other leaders of the Qingyin Literary Society wrote letters, inviting them to come to Beijing in the near future for a talk.

    After such a long period of time, the editorial power of "Qingyin Hongwen Bimonthly" should be distinguished and terminated.  Karamatsu has no intention of intervening in the literary field, nor will he harm the interests of Qingyin Literary Society.  But for those sections he intends to add, the editorial rights must be controlled by him.

    If this is the case, it would seem inappropriate to place a publication like "Qingyin Hongwen Bimonthly", which has gradually been accepted by scholars all over the world and enjoys national influence, in Yangzhou. After thinking about it, this Imperial City Secretary  The supervisor's book bureau is a good place.

    "But in the future, will these editors, most of whom are from Jiangnan, need to change their identities? Will they be asked to become officials?  Or should they still remain white?

    In addition, after "Qingyin Hongwen Bimonthly" was transferred to Beijing, in order to ensure that the publication and dissemination of its publications are more efficient and have a greater and faster influence on Shilin and the entire world, how can it be in the land and water evangelism system overseen by the Ministry of War?  Set up a dedicated line?

    ¡°These are all problems, and we need to be prepared for a rainy day. They should be solved now, otherwise it will be difficult to work effectively when they come to play a role.

    After writing these carefully considered letters, Tang Song also wrote to the person-in-charge of Hongwen Seal in Jiangnan and Beidi, inviting them to bring their subordinate branch managers who could live without them to Luoyang at the end of the year.  gather.

    Since we have invited everyone from Hongwen Yinshe, Yu Dongjun, the person in charge of general science in Anyi County, Yangzhou, and others are naturally indispensable.  Since they are all busy.  Let's just take advantage of this year's New Year to make a big integration of all the forces under our command.  This not only increases feelings and unity, but also is more conducive to future linkage and combat effectiveness of all parties.

    By the time all these letters were written, the official office bells in the imperial city had been ringing for a long time.  Karamatsu flexed his sore wrists and returned home. As soon as he entered the main room, he realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere.  Tang Daren, whose face had been flushed due to excessive excitement these days, sat there with a sullen face and said nothing.  Tang Yuan next to him also frowned.

    "What are you looking for? What's wrong?"

    Seeing Tang Song come back, Tang Yuan now had a backbone, and his expression finally became more relaxed.  While coming over to pour tea for his brother, he whispered the whole story.

    It turns out that just after Tang Song went to the Yamen in the afternoon, for some reason, people suddenly kept coming to the house.  It's okay to say this. After all, the Tang family is quite accustomed to the scene of crowded houses these days.

    But the problem is that the people who came this afternoon are obviously different from before.  After all kinds of good words were said, the purpose was exactly the same.  She is just like a little girl, but she really does not have the blessing of serving the Marquis of Xiangyang. Her previous efforts to reach such a high level are really overestimating her own abilities.  I have been feeling uneasy these days, so I came here to implore the Tang family to return their daughter's red sticker, and not to mention the marriage again.

    At the end of the afternoon, although not all the red stickers had been returned, those were the ones that suited Tang Daren and his daughter's heart the most.  But almost all the boudoirs of officials and officials with the best backgrounds were spared.

    My son and brother were just a hot mess two days ago, but in the blink of an eye they became like this.  But why is it so embarrassing for Tang Daren, who only wants to glorify the lintel of the Tang family?  How could Tang Yuan be happy again?

    This is where something went wrong again.  Karamatsu knew there must be a reason behind this abnormal behavior, but now he didn't know the source of the problem, so he could only comfort the two of them with a smile.  "Sooner or later these red stickers will have to be returned. Now they come to pick them up themselves, which saves us the trouble. What's there to be unhappy about? Are you really afraid that I won't be able to marry a wife?"

    ??Is it the same to return someone else¡¯s red post and someone come to ask for it back?  The difference between them is really huge, so Karamatsu's words of comfort have no effect.  The atmosphere in the room was still very dull.

    After a long time, Tang Daren suddenly smacked the table next to him, "The woman sent by the Zheng family this afternoon will stay. The wedding must be held before the end of the year."

    After saying these words angrily, Tang Daren packed up his hands and returned to the room angrily.  Tang Song was left confused, "What kind of girl did the Zheng family send?"

    Tang Yuan patted his forehead and said, "Why did I forget this? It's my fault. I really neglected this girl. Just wait here."

    Not long after he hurried out, Tang Yuan came back again, followed by a tall, radiant girl.

    This girl is different from Liu Mei, Shangguan Wan'er, Taiping and even Shuijing and other women who are close to Tang Song. From her appearance to her body, to the air and temperament she exudes, she looks like a picture of an ancient divine lady.  The real-life version.

    Looking at such a young girl walking out of a painting of a lady, Tang Song frowned slightly, fearing to frighten this girl whose appearance and manners were exquisite.The nearly perfect woman frowned and then said warmly: "You are the daughter-in-law of Zheng, the shopkeeper of Jinxiu Silk Village, right? I have wronged you for a long time! Some of your father's words are just jokes and must not be taken seriously.  I've wasted your life, and you can have some light meals at my house. After the meal, let my sister take you back."

    When the woman heard the words, she stepped forward and bowed, saying: "Nunu, my dear little lady, although I was escorted by my grandpa to come to your residence, it is indeed out of my own will. I think that my appearance is crude.  He is of low status, and he only wishes to serve in the study and polish paper and ink for the prince, and that is enough."

    ¡°It¡¯s really terrible to meet an audiophile here!  Fatty Zheng, isn't this causing trouble?

    Tang Song sighed and stood up and walked to Yao Niang, "You have a beautiful appearance and a very good charm. If you can choose a beloved, you will be regarded as a treasure. Wouldn't it be the best choice to have such a harmonious harmony with the piano? Although I have  It's a bit of a bad name, but it's all false and can't be taken seriously. It's not worthy of you being so wronged as a slave. Listen to me, if you really like "The Collection of Pearls and Jade", you should stay away from me. That's it.  It¡¯s good for you and me.¡±

    Hearing this, Yao Niang lowered her head, revealing a section of her neck that was as white as gelatin, and said no more.  She has no intention of retreating, and since then, her intention has become very obvious.

    Tang Song was really helpless and could only calm down.  "The reason why your father sent you here is far from as simple as you think. Is it hard to believe that you are really willing to be a bargaining chip for a merchant?"

    If these words are placed in future generations, at least nine out of ten women will definitely refuse.  Unexpectedly, Yao Niang didn't look angry at all when she heard this. Her voice was still clear and pleasant, "My father gave birth to me and raised me. If I can repay you, I will naturally be willing to do so."

    At this point, Karamatsu was completely helpless.

    At this moment, Tang Yuan stepped forward and put his arms around Yao Niang's shoulders and arms. He gave Tang Song a white look and said, "No one else can ask for such a beautiful sister. Good for you! Grandpa is also very fond of you."  If you like Yao Niang, I will make the decision on this matter, and she will stay! Just do as she said and touch paper and ink in your study first."

    After finishing speaking, Tang Yuan did not give Tang Song a chance to speak again.  He led Yao Niang and left the main room.

    After watching the two of them go out, Tang Song returned to his seat and tapped the high coffee table beside him. If Yao Niang really took root at home, he, Tang Song, would be closely tied to the Zheng family, one of the most wealthy businessmen in the world.  Together.

    Does this kind of tight bundling bring more benefits or disadvantages?

    ¡°Fat Zheng has invested so much money, and with his character, he will definitely want something in the near future.  And what he asks for must not be small. What will he ask for?  How should I deal with myself then?

    After all, the relationship between Fatty Zheng and Tang Song is different. Yao Niang has also met for the first time, and Tang Song is not the kind of person who is easily fascinated by women.  Therefore, the first reaction is inevitably to weigh and consider the pros and cons.

    After that, Tang Song went to look for Tang Yuan three times, hoping that she would send Yao Niang back.  The first two times, Yao Niang refused, but the third time, Tang Daren jumped and scolded her back.

    It looks like the situation is not good.  His old man pointed to Yao Niang as the last guarantee for getting married years ago, so how could he let her go?

    Time passed little by little, and in a blink of an eye it was time to close the gate under curfew. At this time, Yao Niang could not go back even if she wanted to.

    The next morning, as soon as Tang Song got up and opened the door, he saw Yao Niang walking in carrying a copper basin and a set of toiletries.  Then she naturally served Karamatsu and started grooming, so naturally that there was no room for refusal.

    It¡¯s hard to understand how a woman like Yao Niang, who came from a wealthy family, learned her inner-room skills from somewhere. From washing up to helping change official clothes, she did every little trivial job smoothly, as if  Her appearance and manners are ordinary and exquisite to the point of being impeccable.

    Putting aside other factors, if we just talk about this comfort, the experience this morning was actually unprecedented since Karamatsu traveled through time.

    In this regard, Karamatsu is neither deliberately cold nor particularly enthusiastic. Just do it if you want to. I think the girl who came from a wealthy family will not be able to hold on for a long time. I just hope that she will go back by herself when she can't hold on.

    After everything was taken care of, Tang Song went out to go to the Yamen.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    The former Princess of Luling has not been able to be promoted to the queen as she wished after Li Xian ascended the throne. However, because the other three of the four noble concubines in the inner palace who were second only to the queen in rank were vacant, she, the only noble concubine, naturally became the queen.  She became the highest-ranking concubine in the palace.

    With her status, she would have no problem summoning any foreigner into the palace, but summoning courtiers would really seem a bit dazzling.  ?This is even more true after asking clearly whether this summons was a separate summons from the emperor.

    Just when Tang Song was hesitant to go, Wei Bo, who had just been promoted from Shangshu to the Ministry of Rites and served as an official in the Ministry of Rites, came over, pulled him and walked towards the palace.

    Since Wei Bo was with him, Tang Song no longer tabooed anything, and Shi Shiran entered the palace.

    Arriving outside the palace complex where Concubine Wei lived, Wei Bo, a relative, went in first together with the notified palace attendants, leaving Tang Song outside to wait for the summons.

    Not long after Wei Bo left, Shangguan Wan'er walked out. Tang Song was overjoyed and greeted him with a cheerful face, "How are you busy with things in the palace? When can you leave the palace?"  ?¡±

    After hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er tried her best to smile, "Now that Concubine Wei intends to let me stay in the palace to help her with the affairs of the palace, leaving the palace I'm afraid it will be difficult."

    Concubine Wei wants to continue to use you?  When he first heard the news, Tang Song really couldn't believe it. Shangguan Wan'er was Wu Zetian's best confidant. Why would Concubine Wei continue to use him?

    "But if you think about it carefully, there is some truth in it.  Concubine Wei has great plans, how can she be restrained by a small palace?  Since then, she has no intention to focus on the management of the Sixth Palace. However, there are so many trivial matters in the inner palace. If she is not willing to take care of it herself, then there must be someone who can do these things for her.

    And except for Shangguan Wan'er, it's really hard to find such a woman for a while.

    It is true that Shangguan Wan'er was Wu Zetian's best confidant, but now that Wu Zetian is dead, she has naturally become a lonely minister, but her rank is still low because of Shangguan Yi.  A lonely minister who has spent thirty years in the Deep Palace and Deep Dawn Palace and has a low rank. Where can he find someone more useful than Shangguan Wan'er in the inner palace?

    It is really not easy for Concubine Wei to make such an unexpected move.

    After thinking about it, Tang Song stopped talking nonsense and directly talked about the crystal. After speaking, he explained: "With Duke Di and Li Xiang here, this is really the best opportunity for you to leave the palace. Don't miss it."  "

    Shangguan Wan'er looked happy and nodded gently.  At this time, another palace official came to see her. After giving Karamatsu a reluctant look, she hurried away.

    By this point, Karamatsu was in a good mood.  Even though I'm waiting here alone, I don't feel anxious.

    Not long after Shangguan Wan'er left, Tang Song was leisurely looking at the buildings in the inner palace when a scream came from beside him, "Are you Tang Song? Did Prince Liang and his son die at your hands?"

    With the sound of scolding, a horse whip suddenly appeared and struck Karamatsu across his head and face.
