Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 510 Enabling Literati
Li Jingwen was dumbfounded when he heard that, he had been worrying about the military situation in Fujian all this time, and Shen Ying had heard her talking about Zheng Zhilong a lot, so when she heard that she was going to Fujian, Shen Ying guessed that it was because of Zheng Zhilong.

Shen Ying is a girl after all. Although she is in charge of a huge business empire, how can she know overseas geography?When I told her about Manjiga, it meant that I was playing the piano with a cow.

Li Jing shook his head with a smile and said, "Manlajia used to be a vassal state of our Ming Dynasty. Its location is... on an island in the southwestern sea of ​​Ming Dynasty, thousands of miles away from Guangdong of our Ming Dynasty."

Seeing Shen Ying contemplating, Li Jing smiled and said, "You probably don't understand what I'm saying. I'll find a map someday and show you the location."

Shen Ying thought for a while, but in the end she couldn't figure out where Man Saga was, she shook her head and smiled, "Forget it, master is so busy, how can he waste his energy on these trivial things?"

After a pause, Shen Ying continued: "Well, what my father said is right. It's a long way to go to Fujian. How can there be no one to take care of the master? Since the master wants Xiaozhu to accompany him, I will naturally have no objections."

Then he turned to look at Xiaozhu and said, "Sister Xiaozhu, you have to take good care of Master during this trip."

"Yes! Ma'am." Xiaozhu said happily.

"My master is going to Fujian this time, do you plan to go by water or by land?" Zhu Huiyu asked.

Li Jing smiled and said: "Although this trip is very urgent, I still want to take a look along the way, of course I have to go by land."

"Oh! If you go by land, forget it." Zhu Huiyu said.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Li Jingqi asked.

Zhu Huiling shook his head and smiled, "There's nothing wrong with my concubine, but the maidservants around me and my sister are all from the south. If the master takes the water, he can just take them home to have a look."

Li Jing looked at the maidservants standing behind Shen Ying and Zhu Huiyu, and asked doubtfully, "I remember that there seems to be no one in their house?"

Smiling, Li Jing asked the maidservants, "Where do you live and who are there? Send someone to take a look when I return to Beijing."

The maidservants hurriedly said: "Where is there anyone else! If there is someone in the family, how can they be sold to such a place?"

Li Jingjing nodded, looked at Zhu Huiyu and said with a smile: "They have been in our house for so long, and I know the situation at home. It is impossible for you not to know. I think you want to go out for a walk?"

Zhu Huiling blushed immediately when she heard the words.

Li Jing laughed lightly, then sighed softly: "Huiyu, I'm in a hurry this time, I'm afraid I don't have time to take you out for fun. Wait until next time, I'll bring you all with me next time. "

Zhu Huiling was overjoyed: "Really?"

Li Jing smiled and said, "Of course it's true. When did my husband lie to you?"

"Thank you, master." Zhu Huiyu said happily.

Li Jing smiled and waved his hand.

After pondering for a while, Li Jing said: "I remember that although they have no relatives, they still have a few friends who are good to them. When I return to Beijing, I will travel by water and pass by Suzhou and Nanjing. What do you want? If a friend needs me to bring a letter, I can send someone to deliver it for you."

Several maids shook their heads lightly.

Li Jing smiled wryly, knowing that no matter how kind he was to these maidservants, how would they dare to associate with their former friends?

Looking at Yang Ai, Li Jing smiled and said, "I remember you have quite a lot of friends, do you need me to bring a letter?"

Yang Ai blushed, hesitated for a moment and said: "Your maidservant and those people are friends only through writing, and there is no special relationship. Besides, the master has already recruited those people whom this servant girl knows to compile calligraphy books in Beijing. I don't have any friends anymore."

Li Jingjing nodded. At the beginning, he didn't want those literati from Fushe to form a party to discuss government affairs, so Kong Zhenyun sent people to recruit these people into the capital to compile the Chongzhen dictionary. He didn't want the so-called talented scholars whom Yang Ai knew to also come to Beijing. People can endure loneliness. It is not easy to hear these people criticizing the government until now.

Suddenly, Li Jing's heart moved. In the past, his foundation was not stable. He didn't want these people to criticize the government and disturb the people's hearts. Now that the country is basically stable, he should listen to those different voices.

Especially now that I need an admonisher like Wei Zheng, I have to listen to different voices.Although these people talk a lot, there are still a few people who have insight.Listen to different political opinions, and you can always find useful suggestions.

Thinking about this verse, Li Jinghu said: "Yang Ai, I remember that you know the leaders of Fushe, right? It seems that you also know a lot of talented people, and you are also considered talented women, always staying at home I’m afraid it’s a bit boring, let the guards take you around the poetry club in Beijing in your spare time, it’s right to relieve your boredom.”

"Master, what are you going to do?" Shen Ying asked.

Li Jing smiled: "I want those literati to get to know me better."

"Let the literati get to know you better, so there's no need for them to come forward, right?" Shen Ying asked suspiciously.

Li Jing smiled: "Of course the people in our house know me best, and what they say makes people believe."

"The master wants to use those literati?" Shen Ying said.

"Hehe, Madam who knows me, I can't hide anything from Madam." Li Jing laughed.

"Based on the current status of the master, it's just a matter of saying who you want to hire. Why let the girls come forward?" Shen Ying asked.

Li Jing shook his head: "This time I made some mistakes in the strategy I made with Zheng Zhilong, but none of the ministers in the DPRK raised any objections. If things go on like this, it will not be a good thing for our Ming Dynasty. I plan to recruit some newcomers, those who dare to speak and act.

But in the current situation, how many people dare to disobey my order?Even the officials in the court are afraid to speak now, let alone others?
I know that everyone is a little afraid of me, but why are you afraid?Because everyone doesn't know me.If you knew me, it wouldn't be what it is now. "

Shen Ying suddenly said: "So the master released the people in the house and asked them to tell everyone what kind of person the master is. After everyone gets to know the master, they will gradually dare to speak."

Li Jing nodded with a smile: "That's it. In fact, let them go to the poetry club and tell everyone what kind of person I am while chatting. There is no other way to do this.

Because there are some words that cannot be believed by anyone, such as my guards, if they tell others that I am eager to seek talents and are not ashamed to ask, others will only say that I am trying to gain fame.And these little girls make friends with those literati through poetry and literature. After everyone gets to know each other well, some people will believe what they say. "

"As long as one literati believes in it, more literati will believe it." Shen Ying continued with a smile.

Li Jing smiled and said, "Exactly."

Shen Ying sighed softly: "Master is really well-intentioned."

"Master, in fact, this servant knows that there are two people who said before that are very close to the decrees that the master is implementing now. These two people have real talents and learning, and they dare to speak. It's just that what they said, except for some people from Fushe, When others heard this, they thought they were angry with scholars." Yang Ai said suddenly.

"Oh? Who is it?" Li Jingqi asked.

"One is called Huang Zongxi, and the other is called Fang Yizhi. When I was in Nanjing, I often heard the names of these two people from other people, and I also heard other people's words about them." Yang Ai said.

"Huang Zongxi, Fang Yizhi?" Li Jing repeated in a murmur.

After thinking about it, Li Jing turned his head and said to Xiao Jiu who was behind him: "Tell your fifth uncle, and send someone to check the words and deeds of these two people. If it is what Yang Ai said, I want to meet these two people." .”

Xiao Jiu nodded, and hurried out of the house to find Ma Wu.

Li Jing turned his head and smiled at Yang Ai, "If these two people are really talented as you said, I will definitely reward you."

Zhu Huiling laughed and said, "What is the master going to reward her for?"

Li Jing said with a smile: "Naturally find a young talent for her, and then marry her off in a grand manner."

Zhu Huiling curled her lips: "Master, can you do something else? The maids around me and my sister, except for Xiaodie and Xiaozhu who stayed in the mansion because they were dowry maids, which one was not betrothed to you by you?" Those subordinates and adopted sons? So much so that in the end, my sister and I had no one around us."

Li Jing scratched his head: "How can it be so serious? When you were in Pingyang Mansion, didn't you two have someone to serve you?"

"Hehe, there are people waiting for you. Except for Xiaodie and Xiaozhu, by the way, there is one lucky child. The rest are all borrowed from Mr.'s mansion. The maids around us and my sister are all from Mr.'s mansion. You I'm not afraid of being laughed at." Zhu Huiyu laughed.

Shen Ying continued with a smile: "Actually, even Xing'er used to serve Mr., but after the two of us, we don't even have a maid who cares about us."

Zhu Huiling laughed and said, "From now on, we will decide who we sisters will be with. Master, you are not allowed to make random appointments in the future."

Li Jing nodded with a smile and said, "It's up to you, up to you, you will be the ones around you in the future."

While joking, Xiao Jiu hurried into the mansion with Ma Wu.

Seeing Li Jing, Shen Ying and others chatting in the courtyard, Ma Wu hastily stepped forward to salute and said, "I've seen some sister-in-laws."

Shen Ying smiled and said: "Uncle is very polite, please sit down quickly, Zijuan, pour tea for Uncle Fifth."

"I've met Uncle Wu." Xiaodie and others saluted Ma Wufu.

"You sister-in-laws are so polite, why don't you kill Ma Wu!" Ma Wu said hurriedly.

Li Jing smiled and said: "Fifth brother is not an outsider, so there is no need for so many vain courtesy. It's alright, you go down, I will talk to Fifth brother, Xiao Zhu, you are ready to leave in two days."

"Yes! Master." Xiao Zhu hurriedly said.

After Zijuan finished pouring tea for Ma Wu, Shen Ying took all the girls to leave.

Taking Shen Ying and others away, Ma Wu took out a stack of papers from his arms and handed them to Li Jing, saying: "The two people that the elder brother wants to investigate, Luo Yangxing investigated the head of the Fushe before, and these are the two people. data of."

"Oh? That's right, Luo Yangxing is very attentive in handling things!" Li Jing said with a smile as he took the documents.

Ma Wu smiled: "Lao Luo is not only greedy for money, but also very methodical in his work. Back then when my eldest brother hired Lao Luo, he was indeed the right person. Having Lao Luo help me saved me a lot of energy."
