Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 848
In the backyard, on the gazebo.

Bead curtains are half-rolled around, bamboo mats are laid on the ground, there is a gentle breeze, and the fragrance is wafting. A generation of beauties, in Tsing Yi palace skirts, kneel on the bamboo mats, move their ten fingers like elves, and bursts of melodious piano sounds resound in all directions.

"What song is this?"

Mu Jing burned the qin and cooked the cranes, which spoiled the scenery, and the whole person stepped in and perfectly destroyed the beautiful artistic conception, and sat directly opposite Cai Yan.

"Husband!"

Cai Yan had no choice but to stop, and with a coquettish sound, she rolled her eyes at Mu Jing: "It is indecent to interrupt other people's piano music!"

"When will I be able to behave elegantly!" Mu Jing said with a smile: "Didn't my father always say that I am a common man, rough and vulgar!"

"You!"

Cai Yan stretched out his green fingers, tapped Mujing's forehead lightly, then asked the maid to take down the piano, spread the tea utensils, burned incense and washed his hands, and brewed a cup of tea for Mujing himself.

"This tea needs to be improved!"

Mu Jing took a sip. Although the tea soup of this era is also tea, and can also brew a different taste, there is no way to stir-fry the tea, and it always tastes like swill when drinking.

"This is already the best tea in the world!" Cai Yan said in a low voice: "People like to cook wine and talk about the world, but you like to taste tea to nourish your heart. It's just the taste of tea soup. It's really not that good. It has a special smell, but the miscellaneous smell is too strong, even after three washes, it still lingers!"

"Drinking tea is better than drinking alcohol!"

Mu Jing smiled and said: "When I free up my hands, I will go to the [-] Mountains in the southwest to find the best tea, and then cook it in other ways, then you will feel delicious! "

The way of tasting tea has been passed down for a long time.

The Han Dynasty also had a unique method of tea tasting, but the tea in this era was not mature enough, so the market was not big, but in the Tang and Song Dynasties, waiting for the tea processing method to mature, Dahongpao, Longjing, Tieguanyin... a lot of The emergence of famous tea has also turned tea into a kind of huge profit.

Pu'er is a famous tea through the ages.

Now it should be in Yongchang County, and there are tributes every year. If you want to find it, you can still find it.

"You are in charge now, and millions of people are waiting to eat, how can you have time to do such elegant things!" Cai Yan shook his head, a smile appeared on his pretty face, and asked: "After several days of running around, there are so many things in Minghou's mansion, what do you do?" Why are you free today?"

"The lord is also a human being!"

Mu Jing curled his lips: "I can't let them treat me like an old cow. These days, I see that they are so busy that they can't find their way, so I volunteer to help them. If I let me do everything Well, what do I need them for!"

The matter of the six doors is quite involved, and it will even attract the attention of the military. If Mu Jing does not personally take the lead, he will not be able to control the situation. Therefore, these days, he is very busy in order to establish the six doors. land.

"Mingfeng Bank is going to be handed over?"

Cai Yan asked in a low voice.

She has always been in control of the Mingfeng Bank, and Mu Jing was relieved when the huge property was handed over to her. The Mu army fought countless times in Jingzhou the year before last and last year, and almost exhausted the finances of the Minghou Mansion, and it was all Mingfeng Bank. , to survive the crisis.

"Ok!"

Mu Jing nodded: "Mingfeng Bank has the right to issue coins, and now it is involved in the unification of Yizhou's currency. This is a hot potato. Now the Minghou Mansion is not only in charge of Hanzhong, but also the entire Yizhou. You It’s the people in the harem. Now we can’t fully control the situation. We still have to look at the opinions of some people. They propose that the harem should not interfere in politics, and this will become a tool for them to attack you. I’m not afraid of their opposition. It’s a big deal. It depends on whether they are stronger or we stick to it, but the plan of unifying the currency will be affected at that time, which will not be worth the loss, so Mingfeng Bank cannot stay in your hands for the time being!"

It will take some time for the Minghou Mansion to fully control Yizhou. It can control the overall situation if it is not in control of the overall situation. Although the military and political power has already fallen into the hands of the Minghou Mansion, it wants to control the overall situation. From the county to the county, the officials and the people must be completely in control.

Now it is the key to a unified currency.

When people are in turmoil.

How many people are instigating the people behind their backs to attack the Minghou Mansion. Anything that the Minghou Mansion does not do well will be infinitely magnified and form a gap for attack.

Although Mingfeng Bank is nominally managed by the Minghou Mansion, it is almost independent.

It was still Mujing's wife, Cai Yan, who was in control.

That's the notch.

So Mu Jing has to take back the control. He is generous, he doesn't mind letting women come out to work, and he even thinks that Cai Yan's ability is higher than many people, but in the current situation, he doesn't dare to take risks. Cai Yan pushed it out.

"Who will take over?"

It is impossible for Cai Yan to say that she is not a little bit disappointed. She has been watching over Mujing's Mingfeng Bank from the very beginning. She has put too much effort into it, and she suddenly wants to let go. Naturally, she feels a little unwilling .

"I will control it myself first, and then I will recommend someone who has something to do, and then let him take charge. Mingfeng Bank involves too much money, so I don't feel relieved to hand it over to others!"

Mu Jing said: "Also, you have to let go early, don't procrastinate, I'm not afraid of outsiders' irresponsibility, but the old man has already started to enter Berkshire, and will soon come to Jiangzhou, if those rotten scholars He pushes it out, he picks on this matter, I can't say a word, and you can't stand it!"

"Didn't dad go south long ago?"

Cai Yan's heart suddenly jumped, and he didn't dare to have any illusions.

"After he went south, he went to Shu County first, and he was contacting friends everywhere. Everywhere he went, he cooked wine with green plums, discussed politics in the world, and then opened a house to give lectures to increase his reputation!" Mu Jing said with a smile: "This old man's wisdom is really true. We can't underestimate him at all. He was going to be an official in Yizhou, but he came here. At that time, if we want to give him a position casually, it won't work. anger!"

"Father has always disliked power, so naturally he doesn't care about such things, but he actually did this. The inevitable reason is Chang'an?" Cai Yan Bingxue was smart and guessed it all at once.

"Well, and I guess he must have some agreement with Wang Situ, that's why he became an official, but I still don't know exactly what it is!"

Mu Jing nodded: "This is also a good thing for us. Dad has the talent of the prime minister. It would be a pity if he was allowed to live in the mountains and fields. If he can come out and handle government affairs for me, I can withdraw Hu Zhao. , then you can do a lot of things!"

"Husband, you can't let dad get deeper and deeper in this matter. After all these years, I'm not the girl who didn't understand anything. The political path is dangerous and unpredictable. If he takes the wrong path, then Minghou will No one in the house will let him go, even the husband can't save him!"

Cai Yan has experienced a lot in these years and learned a lot, so she can see more clearly.

The Minghou Mansion is now self-contained, and the country is a country. Although it has no name, it has an administrative side. The officials from the top and bottom of the Minghou Mansion, these people can gather once, not only for the sake of Mujing, but also Much more is their political aspirations.

If this is a ship, everyone is on board, everyone is prosperous, everyone is damaged, and some people want to jump ship, it is understandable, the captain at the helm, Mu Jing, can still hold it, but if someone wants The boat destroys everyone's hard work and pushes everyone into the water to wait for death, that is, no one will let it go, even if the captain at the helm, Mu Jing, wants to save it from death, he may not be able to keep it.

"You don't have to worry too much, I'll keep an eye on it myself, and I won't let him cross the line!"

Mu Jing patted her fragrant shoulder, and said: "This old man has always had the Han Dynasty in his heart, and he can only turn around if he bumps into a wall, so that he can be more clear about what this world is like, otherwise who would we be?" It's useless to talk about it, so don't persuade him about this matter, let him do what he wants to do, he can't turn the sky around in the Minghou Mansion, and he won't make a big mistake, it can still be redeemed!"

"Husband, do you want to use the connection between your father and Wang Situ to form an alliance with the emperor?"

Cai Yan is not stupid and sweet, she actually has very high political wisdom, but in this day and age, a woman is virtuous without talent, she can only put her wisdom above her talent and learning, only after becoming Mrs. Minghou, Only then began to gradually discover some of her abilities.

If it weren't for this era, she would have become a female politician who made many men feel ashamed.

"The relationship between father and Wang Situ must be used, but if you are in alliance with the emperor, then you don't need it!" Mu Jing shook his head: "Liu Xie, I still don't like it, but he has learned from his elder brother Liu Bian. The ability to endure is that he has not learned Liu Bian's courage to act, and he is far behind Liu Bian!"

Liu Bian just had bad luck, otherwise he would have become a good emperor.

Instead, Liu Xie.

He is bold and ruthless in his actions, but his methods are too sinister and lack of courage. Although he has a tough temper and can even bear Liu Bei, he does not have Liu Bei's ability, so his fate is doomed.

No matter whether he was in Chang'an or escaped from Chang'an, he still couldn't control the overall situation and could only be reduced to a puppet.

"I understand, my husband is going to mess up the water in Chang'an. My husband uses my father to let my father become an official. He just wants to use his father's influence in Chang'an. It's just that some things, if passed on through his father's mouth, will inevitably affect his father. Chang'an's reputation will be affected, and many people will even think that my father has completely surrendered to the Minghou Mansion!"

Cai Yan reacted very quickly, but she did not blame Mujing. Mujing is the lord of the Minghou Mansion, and she knows how many people survive under her command. No matter how many things she does for the sake of peace, it is worthy of forgiveness. , and she believes that Mujing will be measured, but she is a little worried, whether Mujing will underestimate Cai Yong: "I am a little worried, maybe my father is not so easy to coax, my father has been ups and downs for decades, ups and downs Several times, he was able to dodge some open swords and dark arrows in the hall, he is indeed a bit pedantic, but he has his survival wisdom!"

"I have never underestimated my father's ability and wisdom, but he is too persistent!" The corners of Mu Jing's mouth slightly raised.

…………

Three days later, outside Jiangzhou city.

"Report to Lord Jijiu, Jiangzhou City is already ahead!" In a motorcade, the young man who was walking in front reined in his horse and returned, facing the carriage in the middle of the motorcade, cupping his hands and saying.

"Are you in Jiangzhou?"

Inside the carriage, an old man opened the door curtain, raised his head slightly, his eyes swept across the city wall in front of him, and after looking at it for a long time, he sighed and said in a low voice: "I don't really want to come, but I'm finally here!"

This sentence is somewhat contradictory, but it just explained Cai Yong's current mood.

In the past few years, Cai Yong has had a good time. If he continues to live in a muddle like this, he is also very happy. He has a daughter to serve him and a son-in-law to accompany him. Although the son-in-law is a bit naughty, he can teach him a lesson every day A few times, it's a pleasure.

But in the end some things just can't let go.

He and Wang Yun have been communicating in secret letters for a long time, and the situation has been deduced again and again, even if he knows that the chance is slim and the hope is almost gone, but he is still not reconciled, so he came here.

"Teacher, it seems that someone is welcoming us in front of us?"

Another student came up and reported.

This time going south, Cai Yong did not involve the Hongdu school, but he also brought more than a dozen talented students selected from the Hongdu school to the south, because once he came to power, he needed confidantes.

"It seems that his minions of Jingwu Division are really not simple. He can track my whereabouts so carefully, so he still has to be careful in the future!" Cai Yong raised his head, squinted his eyes, and his eyes were reflected on a young man riding a horse in front of him.

Although he doesn't pay much attention to the affairs of the Minghou Mansion on weekdays, he has some knowledge and knowledge. He also knows that there is a department under Mujing's command, named Jingwu Division. Jingwu Division is in charge of secret operations and does dark things. Even internally, it is not known how many chess pieces are placed.

He is quite a person who resists Jing Wusi, so he naturally seldom learns about this aspect.

But now, he has to be vigilant.

"Father!" Mu Jingce immediately stepped forward and bowed his hands in salute.

"Excuse me, Marquis Ming greets you in person, the old man is a little happy!" Cai Yong smiled slightly, but between these words, it seemed that he was about to draw a line with Mu Jing.

"Father, Zhao Ji has already prepared a banquet at the house, ready to greet you!"

Mu Jing cupped his hands and said.

"No need, first public and then private, although the old man also wanted to go gradually to Zhaoji, but this time, he was ordered by the state shepherd to conscript him. Since he came to Yizhou, he should enter the post station and wait for the state shepherd to summon him. This is in line with etiquette!"

Cai Yong refused.

"Then I'll take my father to the post station!" Mu Jing's face remained unchanged, a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and a small dimple appeared.

This time Cai Yong did not refuse.

After Mu Jing sent Cai Yong to the post station, Cai Yong made it clear that he had no intention of discussing with him, so he knew it and left the post post.

In less than two days, the State Shepherd's Mansion has issued an official document calling for Cai Yong to be the post of the right chief history of the Yizhou State Shepherd's Mansion.

Before that, Yizhou Youchang History was Mujing.

But after Dong Fu committed suicide, Mujing pushed Liu Zhang to take the position. Liu Zhang was the state shepherd, but the position of Zuo Changshi was vacant. A long history of power.

You Changshi is now empty. After all, there is no one in Yizhou who dares to be compared with Mu Jing. Now Liu Zhang has suddenly reached a consensus with Cai Yong to put Cai Yong in this position to deter Mu Jing. This makes Mu Jing a little surprised. .
