Number of romantic figures

Chapter 458
The solitary lamp is like a bean, swaying unsteadily.

Under the flickering lights, Feng Ziying's face became more serious.

"Is this news from Yanzhou?" Feng Ziying didn't expect how far she had traveled so far south. She didn't meet other things, but unexpectedly met the White Lotus Sect again.

"Master Feng,..." Wang Chaozuo took a deep breath. Although he knew that this son was no ordinary person that year, when he saw that the man in front of him had already graduated from the sixth-rank Imperial Academy, He still gave birth to a faint awe.

It has only been four years, and the memory of that 12-year-old boy is still lingering in his mind, but now Wang Chaozuo is convinced that this one is really going to make a big deal, and he doesn't know why the other party asked him to follow his arrangement. It's not that he expected what happened today, but the reality before him made him have to admit that some people are born to be above others.

"According to your request, he followed that Mr. Xu before, and later Mr. Xu asked him to stay here with Mr. Gao. Because our Dongchang Mansion is very guarded, so Wang Er simply followed Mr. Gao to Caozhou. Later, he followed Mr. Gao back to that Mr. Xu, and he followed Mr. Xu and Mr. Gao to Bazhou, Zhending and other places in Beizhili,..."

Wang Chaozuo calmed down his fluctuating mood and began to talk about his intentions, "Wang Er came back a few days ago and met with me. He mentioned that the drought in Yanzhou was extremely severe this year. Grain, many people began to flow out, and there were also many people who came to our Dongchang Mansion and went to Beizhi Daming Mansion in the east, but it is not serious now. It is said that it may be before the grain harvest in late spring and early summer next year. If you can't get through that time, you can only go out, or you can only..."

"Only what? Rebellion?" Feng Ziying sneered and asked back, "The government will definitely provide relief, but I'm afraid that relief can barely keep you from starving to death. If you think about other things, it's impossible..."

"Yes, that can only be the case, but now the Eastern Mahayana Sect is taking advantage of this situation to be active in Yanzhou, Caozhou, Jining, and Daming Mansions. In fact, there are activities in Dongchang Mansion, but Master Shen of the Mansion respects it very much. The investigation was very strict, and many people were arrested one after another, and they were asked to protect them before they were released, so our side is better, but according to the news from Wang Erchuan, it seems that the East Mahayana sect is planning to set up in southern and southwestern Shandong. As the foundation there, if you want to develop into Jining Mansion, Daming Mansion and other places,..."

Wang Chaozuo's words have completely lost the style of the former leader of the straw weaving craftsman, and he still considers this issue from the perspective of the government.

This is a rare good phenomenon.

After the replacement of the tax supervisor in the past two years, he has kept a low profile, and he is no longer as domineering and demanding as the previous tax supervisor. Although it has affected Linqing, it has improved a lot, which makes Linqing reluctantly Accepted.

"Oh?" Feng Ziying pondered deeply.

The agreement he reached with Wang Chaozuo to exonerate him was on the one hand to relieve Wang Chaozuo's worries, so that he would not be worried that he would kill a donkey and refuse to submit, and would fight to the death, but later it was more of a problem. I want to drive a nail in the White Lotus Sect.

Because he vaguely remembered that the influence of the White Lotus Sect in Shandong and Beizhi was deeply rooted, and the slightest disturbance would spark a prairie fire. Shandong was his hometown, and it was also a territory he wanted to deliberately manage. The infiltration of the White Lotus Sect also made him vigilant, and he had to guard against it.

"Then do you think these people want to rebel?"

"Returning to my lord, it doesn't seem like it. This year's drought is mainly concentrated in Caozhou and Yanzhou. Dongchang and Jining are actually not that serious. It hasn't reached the point of starving to death, but the refugees are sure. The scale It’s just big or small, if you say you want to rebel, it’s a bit ridiculous, and ordinary people don’t take this road so easily.”

Wang Chaozuo is at least the leader of hundreds of thousands of grass weaving craftsmen, and he still has some vision. Coupled with Feng Ziying's guidance in the past two years, his mentality has changed a lot, and his perspective on problems has also changed, so I say It also appears more fair.

Of course, Feng Ziying didn't keep him busy. The government helped him through the relationship between Duan Xigui and his father. He was able to get rid of the shadow brought by the White Lotus Sect two years ago, but he was still able to get along with Linqing. Those forces of various religions and nine streams kept in touch.

"So they want to take this opportunity to accumulate strength." Feng Ziying nodded slightly.

This is also in line with his judgment.

This year, the disasters in the Great Zhou Dynasty were mainly concentrated in Shaanxi and Henan. Although Beizhi and Shandong were the headquarters of the White Lotus Sect, the disasters were only serious in some parts. People startled.

"It should be so, but Gao Yingcheng also has some ties with our Dongchang Mansion, and he often comes here for activities. Now Wang Er has been following that Mr. Xu, so he has no time to take care of it..."

Wang Chaozuo was still a little worried.

"In this case, see if you have a suitable person to get close to that Gao Yingcheng, and Wang Er is following that Xu. You can't relax, and you don't need to do anything. You should try not to contact,..."

Wang Chaozuo left.

Seeing that his nephew Wang Pei'an was successful in his studies, and that one of his sons was also arranged by Feng Ziying to work as a handyman in the county government through Duan Xigui's relationship, Wang Chaozuo no longer had the impulsive spirit of the previous two years.

I was forced to do nothing that time. If it was not necessary, how could a man like him with a family and a family go crazy. Now that he has embarked on this path, it is safer.

The White Lotus Sect is a big problem after all, but firstly, that Mr. Xu is erratic, Feng Ziying thinks that guy should be a big shot, and secondly, Beizhi is their base camp, so he wants that Wang Er to lurk and wait for the time to come .

Such dangers and hidden dangers that endanger the foundation of the imperial court must be wiped out.

"How is Wang Pei'an now?" Feng Ziying asked when Duan Xigui came in.

Unexpectedly, Feng Ziying asked this person first, Duan Xigui was taken aback, and then replied: "This kid studies very hard, and also has some talents. He has read the Four Books and Five Classics by heart, and he is completely different from Zuo Liangyu. The school teacher is very optimistic about him. There are many children in the Feng family who are well educated, but almost none of them can catch up with him. The school teacher said that it should be no problem for him to take the examination of scholar next year..."

"That's good." Feng Ziying nodded, as long as Wang Pei'an and Wang Chaozuo's other son walked on the right path, then Wang Chaozuo would not have any disagreements.

"How about the students you teach?" This is what Feng Ziying cares most about.

With the expansion of Fengrunxiang's scale and the opening of stores, the apprentices from Professor Duan Xigui who used Arabic numerals and double-entry bookkeeping began to be gradually arranged in these stores to do bookkeeping and calculation work.

Without this platform, this kind of promotion and learning would be much slower, but with this platform, even in the future, all industries that the Feng family can be involved in can vigorously promote this kind of Arabic numerals and double-entry bookkeeping.

"It's all going well. Many people still didn't accept it before. Fortunately, we are completely in control now. Well, since this year, the speed of popularization of this kind of learning and the effect of using it are much better, like Baoding and Hejian. When opening a new store, I directly arrange for apprentices to take over the bookkeeping, and brother Yu is also thinking about talking to my aunt, whether it is possible to gradually promote our business in the capital city and Datong,..."

Duan Xigui's appetite was even bigger, which made Feng Ziying also impressed.

Of course, it is not ruled out that this guy wants to use this opportunity to get his hands into the entire Feng family's property, but Feng Ziying does not reject this point.

For now, he hasn't seen Duan Xigui have any other thoughts. As for Feng Ziying's business, Feng Ziying has clearly set aside a share for Duan Xigui. At the beginning, Duan Xigui didn't even dare to take it, but in the end it was established in the form of a contract. down.

If Duan Xigui still has other thoughts, then he can only say that you are unrighteous first, then you can't blame me for being unkind, but from the current point of view, it is not enough, but Feng Ziying is used to judging people with the idea that human nature is inherently evil.

"Third brother, I believe you have already seen the benefits and convenience of this kind of numbers and accounting method. Well, I will write a letter with my mother to make a living in Jingshi City and Datong. How to work is up to you. What I want to say is that it is expected that the imperial court may open the sea next year, and the Shibo Department may have a great demand for such talents who can write and calculate,..."

"...What I mean is that you select a group of people who have been proven to be excellent in our store and can also act as teachers, and further expand the scale of training apprentices. The requirements are not high, and people who can understand Hundreds of commonly used words, and then just be able to use numbers to calculate and keep accounts, whether it is our own business or other..."

"Brother Keng, don't tell me, there are actually a few companies that do business with us. After discovering our bookkeeping method, they didn't think so. Later, some of them were recommended by us, and some of them were felt by themselves. It seems very convenient, I just want their apprentices to come to us to learn,..."

"Welcome!" Feng Ziying was overjoyed.

If such Arabic numerals, calculation methods, and double-entry bookkeeping can only be limited to the small business of my family, it would be meaningless, and it would be a waste of my own efforts to make such a big one come out, the purpose is to promote this The most convenient and efficient method of digital calculation and double-entry bookkeeping can maximize the effect and ability of Chinese people in learning arithmetic and bookkeeping and other practical skills, and now it is finally seeing a glimmer of light.

He originally planned to use various opportunities to promote these "private goods" after opening the sea, but he didn't expect that the other side hadn't started yet, but this side had already begun to bear fruit.
