Ji Tang

Chapter 1092 Union!Feng's opportunity!

"Hey, look at my memory!"

Changsun Wuji slapped his forehead and couldn't laugh or cry.

Things are often like this. Things around you all day long are always taken for granted inadvertently. When it comes to business management, who else in the Tang Dynasty can compare with Ji Song?

As soon as he entered the officialdom, he asked the emperor for help from the Sinong Temple, which had long been reduced to serving only the royal family. Just when everyone was surprised what he wanted to do, he built it into an important department not inferior to the six departments in just a few years. , and finally, the management scope is vast, and the taxes paid to Datang every year are astonishing!
That's all, but who would have known that after they settled the fields in Guanzhong, they marched into Guandong and other places, and in the end they were managed by him into a behemoth. If the courtiers hadn't worried about losing control, they divided it into multiple parts and dismantled it, and now he would I can’t imagine what kind of monster Sinong Temple will become.

The right to manage the world's fields almost choked the lifeblood of the entire Tang Dynasty. Who dared to allow it to develop?

But even so, Sinong Temple is now a department alongside the Six Ministries. This can be seen from the rising rank of the ministers of Sinong Temple.

The minister of Sinong Temple, who was originally the fourth-rank official, is now the third-rank official on par with the six ministers.

So he sighed with emotion: "When it comes to business management, there is really no one in this world who can surpass that boy Ji Song. No matter in any dynasty, such a person is like a lucky star from heaven."

"In addition, that boy has a lazy temper. If His Majesty hadn't kept looking for trouble for him from behind, this boy would have been left alone at home, eating and waiting to die."

Hearing Changsun Wuji's wry smile, Feng An and his son were speechless and said: "Don't he want to rule the Tang Dynasty and leave a name in history? What's more, he is so young, how can he waste his good years?"

"To take charge of the Tang Dynasty? Leave a name in history?"

Changsun Wuji said bitterly: "Maybe this is just a piece of cake for him. Think about it, what did he do before that didn't leave a name in history? As for taking charge of the Tang Dynasty?"

Having said this, he suddenly asked: "Do you know about Taibai Royal Academy?"

Feng An was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I've heard his name for a long time. Last time I went to Chang'an, His Majesty asked Duke Xi to take me to visit the Lower Academy."

After saying that, he asked curiously: "Is it related to this matter?"

"Even if it's not in the middle, it's not far!"

"Do you know how many academy students are graduating every year?"

"Thousands of people!"

“This doesn’t even count the graduates from large academies everywhere!”

He said with some envy: "The first few students were all taught by him. Now these students have already entered the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty. More than ten years later, the most accomplished ones have entered the center. Even I have several academies. Students who come out.”

"I'm not afraid of making you laugh. Now the officials in the court are vaguely divided into several factions!"

"Which factions?"

Feng Ang has been living in Lingnan. Although he has some understanding of the court, the specifics are foggy and he can't always understand it.

"As the old ministers in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China slowly withdrew from the court, now the old faction of civil servants is led by Fang and Du. With the death of Li Jing, Qin Qiong and others in the military attache side, the military generals are now led by Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin and others. The leader is Wu Yingge.”

"In addition to the major aristocratic families, the aristocratic faction headed by the five surnames is expected, and the neutral faction composed of poor families."

"Other than that, it's the academy faction!"

Changsun Wuji said that he suddenly felt a little tired. Old people like them had been through life and death for many years before they achieved their current status.But the academy faction is simply a wild beast, rampaging through the officialdom and knocking the current court to pieces!

"After more than ten years of continuous training, today's academy students have spread all over the Tang Dynasty, from petty officials in the Central Plains to generals in the border areas, and they can be found in all walks of life!"

"Compared with the speed at which aristocratic families can pass on talents, the academy's training is simply unreasonable. The aristocratic families that originally accounted for [-]% of the court officials have now been reduced to less than [-]%, and they are still being reduced!"

"The growing trend forced them to negotiate with His Majesty, and that's why the aristocratic family left overseas!"

Feng Ang was greatly shaken at this time. In Lingnan, he just felt that the Tang Dynasty was changing with each passing day, and the changes were dizzying.But now after listening to Changsun Wuji's story, he understood the origin of this change!

Academic school?
Are they the ones who ended the family rule that lasted for thousands of years?
How can this be?

"Do you think it's impossible?"

As if he knew what he was thinking, Changsun Wuji smiled.

"Yes, who can believe that the emergence of the academy can solve the family disaster that countless heroes have been unable to do for thousands of years?"

Feng Ang smiled bitterly.

"Of course it's not possible in an academy, but the emergence of papermaking and printing has greatly accelerated the process!"

"And these are all brought by Ji Song."

At this time, everyone was a little silent, and they suddenly had the illusion that they could no longer keep up with the times!
"Although the students in the academy are not as closely connected as the aristocratic families, they will even fight with each other internally. But looking at the overall situation, they are the faction most likely to unite with each other and support each other!"

"As the imperial examinations become more and more perfect, it can be predicted that the academy faction will become the mainstream of the Tang Dynasty in the future. There are still some veterans supporting it, but when they leave and the new king comes to power, the academy faction will surely come to the forefront!"

"And Ji Song is the founder of the academy sect. No matter which academy official he is, he is born inferior to Ji Song. When meeting him, he must treat him as a master."

"Tell me, what difference does it make if such a man who is the master of hundreds of officials insists on ruling the Tang Dynasty or not?"

Feng Ang said in disbelief: "Isn't he afraid that His Majesty, er, His Majesty will take action?"

He wanted to say that he was not afraid of the emperor's suspicion, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not appropriate to say it in front of this person, so he tactfully said it.

"Ha ha!"

Changsun Wuji was untroubled, but there was an indescribable sense of decline in his eyes!

I thought it would be great if things continued like this. As long as they made a little operation, Ji's family would be in disaster.

But this kid is too stubborn, making him feel like he has nowhere to go!
"No, Your Majesty will only trust him more and more! Even Ji!"

"Why is this happening?" Feng An was completely crazy. What's the point?
"Why?"

"Because he split up the Ji family, which is comparable to the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, because they never interfered in the government affairs, and because his connection with the royal family was too deep, and it has long been to the point where he can't let go."

"Coupled with Ji Song's temperament and his all-powerful abilities, as long as he is here, it will be the blessing of the Tang Dynasty. What will you do to a person who lives his life as an auspicious person?"

"And they don't have the ability to rebel. Most of their clansmen are engaged in teaching people. All the families that branch out will open private schools in the local area to educate the world."

"Which emperor doesn't like such a family? Which emperor dares to touch it so easily?" "A family that is not a threat can continue to grow the Tang family. How can we let go of it? How can we deal with it before it's too late to protect it?"

Feng Ang suddenly thought of the Yan family, the Meng family, and even the Kong family for some reason!

They do not have a strong army, and they do not have the power to dominate the government and the opposition, but no matter which Central Plains dynasty they are, they cannot ignore their role, which is to stabilize people's hearts.

Once we take action against these families, the world will inevitably boil and people will lose their hearts. This is not a disaster that any dynasty can bear!
Because their existence itself is a kind of belief and a spiritual sign.Ever since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard Dong Zhongshu dismiss all schools of thought and only respect Confucianism, the status of Confucianism has never been shaken.

The Kong family, Yan family, and Meng family, which are closely related to Confucianism, also benefited greatly.Now it has become an unshakable behemoth!

“Is this something that can be done in one generation?”

Feng An opened his mouth and looked at his eldest grandson Wuji. In the past, whether it was the Kong family, the Meng family, or the Yan family, it took thousands of years of continuous development to become such a family, but the Ji family only took a few dozen years. Only years!

How can this be?

Changsun Wuji's heart was full of bitterness. Old people like them saw these things clearly and had imitated them before, but without exception, internal pressure forced them to give up this idea before it even started!

They have long enjoyed the convenience brought by power and power, but if they want to change now, it is impossible unless they completely rebuild a new family!

"Nothing is impossible. Ji has been passed down for a long time. This is something that even the proud Five Surnames and Seven Hopes have to admit. The reappearance of those long-lost classics and things destroyed by wars in the hands of the Ji family is the best proof."

"But the Ji family has been hidden from the eyes of the world for hundreds of years. It was only in the hands of Ji Song that it regained its vitality and soared into the sky. It is said that it is the founder of the Ji family and the ancestor of the Ji family!"

"He has unparalleled influence on the family, and can even make decisions with one word without causing major turmoil. In addition, Ji's education started from his hands, and everyone's thoughts have been instilled with his set of theories. . And all the tribesmen are proud of it."

The three of them were silent at this time, not knowing what to say.

"Mr. Zhao Guo, father, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."

At this time, Feng Zhidai suddenly spoke up.

"My nephew has peace with me, but it will be fine!"

"If you have something to say, just say it and no one will stop you!"

Feng Ang was already a little irritable, but when he heard his son's words, he said impatiently.

"Cough cough!"

Feng Zhidai smiled awkwardly, and then said seriously: "From what Zhao Guogong said, there is something I don't understand!"

"Is that why you're telling us this?"

He said doubtfully: "I believe that these words are not spoken by someone close to me, and they will never be spoken easily, but I, Feng, think that my relationship with Zhao Guogong has not reached such an extent."

"Please give me some advice from Mr. Zhao Guo!"

After saying that, bow and bow!
"presumptuous!"

"How dare you talk to Duke Zhao like this? Back off now!"

Feng An was furious after hearing this, but Changsun Wuji was speechless because the old guy said something nice, but he stared at him.

"That's it!"

Changsun Wuji has no embarrassment about being exposed. What is embarrassment for a person like him?Can it be eaten?
Shen Shen said: "Then I won't sell it out."

Feng Ang and Feng Zhidai looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes.There is nothing in this world without a reason. Today, Changsun Wuji told them that they must have something to ask for, otherwise he would not tell them such a big secret.

"You also know that although my Changsun family still has some influence in the Central Plains, I have little involvement in the sea!"

He felt helpless when he talked about this matter. Logically speaking, the queen was his sister, and if anything good happened, he should keep an eye on the eldest grandson's family.But things are often the opposite. Whenever he asks for something, as long as it involves royal interests, he refuses everything and doesn't give him a chance to speak at all.

The Changsun family tried many times to use the Queen's help to intervene in the maritime trade, but the Queen refused.And they told him clearly that if they wanted to get involved in maritime trade or even have territories overseas, they could fight for it themselves.

An aristocratic family can work hard from scratch, but he can't do it if he doesn't believe in his eldest grandson.

But if you want to take advantage of the royal family, that's not possible. Whoever reaches out will chop off the claws!

Changsun Wuji was helpless. Since this road was unavailable, he could only find a way from other places.But at the beginning, the Changsun family's investment in the sea was very small. After the expansion of trade, the proportion now occupied is even lower than that of ordinary small aristocratic families.

If the queen had intervened, everyone would have done something to save the eldest son's family, but the queen refused to do so.

Without the Queen's intervention, who is afraid of whom? Your eldest grandson's family wants a larger share, which means other families will have to reduce their share. No one will agree to this.

Officialdom has officialdom rules, and it's not something he can just have if he wants.If he dares to break the rules, even the queen may not be able to protect his eldest grandson's family.

Normal channels have no choice but to think about off-board moves.No, after staying in Lingnan for such a long time, Feng, the local emperor of Lingnan, came into his eyes.

After many investigations, he found that Lingnan was simply blessed by nature.

Not only is it backed by the Central Plains, it faces the sea, and has an extremely convenient geographical environment.Coupled with Yazhou's initial achievements, given time, this place will definitely become a port that is not weaker than Mingzhou.

"So, what does Duke Zhao want to do?"

After listening to Changsun Wuji's words, the father and son were thoughtful, but how could they do it without giving something if they wanted benefits?Not to mention just the Changsun family, even the royal family has to give benefits in Lingnan!
"You and I join forces to develop Guangzhou Port!"

Changsun Wuji no longer spares crooks and interacts with smart people. If he continues to spare him, he will be looked down upon!

"Guangzhou?"

Feng Ang was stunned and said in surprise: "Why? Although it is an excellent port, the imperial court has not established a shipping department again."

He suddenly stopped here because he saw the smile in Changsun Wuji's eyes!
"Do you have a solution?"

Feng Ang's breathing was a little rapid at this time. He had long known that Guangzhou was suitable for establishing a port.However, he wrote many times to ask for the establishment of Guangzhou Shipping Division but all failed, so he had no choice but to choose Yazhou.

If we can establish a shipping department in Guangzhou, we will definitely get some benefits from Mingzhou and Dengzhou.He knew that this must affect some people's interests.

The first person to offend is the one in Nanhai. He is not afraid of this. What he is afraid of is that someone will interfere with it and not give Guangzhou a chance at all.

But now that Changsun Wuji was talking about this matter, he knew that if he really got it, Feng's biggest chance would come.
