Chapter one thousand and six well-intentioned
Chapter 1006: Good intentions
Of course, this matter has been settled, and for those ministers, there is no reason now. Jiang Lang in the court also explained very well why Qi Tianci's corpse was sent back.
Of course, this also shows that Jiang Lang has a clear distinction between public and private affairs. Although Qi Tianci is a death row prisoner, Jiang Lang agreed before that, but now he has not forgotten his promise because Qi Tianci died. Moreover, Emperor Jingtai praised this matter very much, which made other ministers unable to continue to investigate this issue. After all, for them, the emperor spoke, so they naturally could not continue, otherwise this dragon face was furious, which was not something we would like to see!
After the morning court ended, Jiang Lang stepped out of the Golden Palace with the others, and at this time he felt a sense of relief. But thinking about it, the case has been delayed for a long time! Now it has finally been settled!
After leaving the palace gate, Jiang Lang was about to go back to the factory guard, but saw Jiang Chengzhi waiting for him at the door. The case could be solved, which has a lot to do with Jiang Chengzhi's help. Facing Jiang Chengzhi's invitation, how could Jiang Lang refuse? He nodded and agreed. Then he followed Jiang Chengzhi to the restaurant and chose a private room to sit down!
He picked up the wine pot himself, and Jiang Lang poured a glass of wine for Jiang Chengzhi!
Jiang Chengzhi smiled slightly and said, "You should be relieved now!"
"yes!"
Jiang Lang nodded, poured his wine glass slowly, and said gratefully: "But Brother Jiang, there are really more you. If you weren't for your help, the case might have been solved!"
Jiang Chengzhi shook his head and smiled and said, "Why do you thank me? I didn't put in much effort. All of this is yourselves. In comparison, I am just a spectator!"
Jiang Lang picked up the wine glass and said, "Brother Jiang, your kindness will be firmly remembered in your heart. Come, cheers!"
Jiang Chengzhi did not hesitate, picked up the wine glass, touched Jiang Lang's wine glass gently, and then the two of them drank the wine in the glass together.
After a while of conversation, Jiang Chengzhi asked again: "What Qi Tianci said yesterday seemed to have resonated with many people in the court. I heard that someone had already handed a memorial to the emperor and said that you have promoted too many people, so it makes others jealous."
Jiang Lang had already prepared this matter in his heart. The words of Qi Tianci yesterday would soon reach some people's ears, and for them they would definitely find an opportunity to study their own books. It is indeed just as they said that they have promoted some people, and some of them were originally just small ordinary people or small officials. According to the ideas of the adults of the court, it would take at least ten or twenty years for these people to climb to their current position, but because of this,
It is the Ming Dynasty that has been reformed. It is very fast to progress and cannot be confined by those old stubborn thoughts. However, how many of these adults in the court can fully accept the current changes, or adapt to such rapid development. Therefore, only by vigorously promoting some young people to fill them, because they are easy to accept new ideas and new ideas, they are the huge driving force for the development of the Ming Dynasty. As Gong Zizhen said: Reduce talents without any restrictions!
In fact, the Ming Dynasty is somewhat similar to the Chinese army in the 1990s. Among the older generation of soldiers, they still believe that all enemies are paper tigers. They think that Xiaomi and rifles drove away Xiaokoumu, defeated Lao Chiang, and defeated American imperialism. However, the 1991 Gulf War surprised everyone. In comparison, that war has completely subverted the way of combat in their minds. Information warfare and electronic warfare also aroused everyone's ideas, and the army needs large-scale high-knowledge talents. Not to mention it, just talk about it, the water in the past
The division is just patrolling the sea to a large extent, but the navy has begun to develop in many aspects, with large-scale transportation of troops, the support of artillery when landing, etc., from single to multi-faceted development. For infantry, infantry and cavalry, which were originally absolutely victorious in the war, became targets under the firepower of powerful artillery and rifles. For the generals of the Ming Dynasty, they did not know that the war could be so big. The originally high-level city walls that had to sacrifice a large number of soldiers and suffered heavy casualties seemed to be decorations under the powerful firepower.
This is a kind of change, and the Ming Dynasty is also changing now. It is to promote its own talents in order to make the entire Ming court adapt to this change. Just like the Chinese army in the past, although the Ming Dynasty is indeed strong now, the countries that wanted to peek at the Central Plains after they were strong before, and they were tightly clamped their tails at this time. What they were afraid that the Ming chariot would run over their territory.
But in Jiang Lang's eyes, the Ming Dynasty is not strong enough now. Perhaps the development of science and technology cannot make the Ming Dynasty rapidly develop into a country under the original high-tech situation, but the Ming Dynasty cannot stop its development. It is very simple. The Ming Dynasty is like the center of a spiral nest, and the surrounding countries or the whole world are like water. As the spiral nest expands, those will also develop. In this case, only by ensuring that the Ming Dynasty will always be the center of the spiral nest, can it be guaranteed that the Ming Dynasty will always be the first!
However, this requires motivation, and this motivation is naturally the new power that continues to join the Ming Dynasty! Only in this way can the Ming Dynasty always have motivation!
Therefore, in the eyes of others, it seems that it is an abuse of power in your hands. It is actually for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and the continuous progress of the Ming Dynasty. However, it is very difficult to understand this!
Seeing Jiang Lang suddenly become silent, Jiang Chengzhiqi said: "What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Lang was startled, raised his head, smiled slightly, and said, "Nothing!"
Jiang Chengzhi nodded slightly and agreed. Now Jiang Lang seemed to be very worried. However, since Jiang Lang didn't say it, he was not easy to ask, so he gave up and pondered for a moment. Then Jiang Chengzhi asked, "By the way, didn't the court want you to choose a person? I wonder if you have chosen it?"
Jiang Lang nodded and said, "There are two more people now. I have given them a chance. One person has ten artillery and five hundred shells. Let's see who can sell these weapons smoothly. At the same time, at the highest price, of course, in order to prevent them from cheating, I also sent someone to stare at them!"
"Then how much do you sell?"
Jiang Chengzhi couldn't help but ask strangely, why did Jiang Lang seem to have not said how much this weapon is worth?
Jiang Lang shook his head and said, "To be honest, I don't know. What I want to do with them is as high as possible. Of course, I also let them investigate the entire weapon production process by themselves. I will leave this to them completely to decide how much it is!"
"Are you really relieved?"
Jiang Chengzhi couldn't help but shake his head and smiled!
Jiang Lang also smiled faintly and said, "This is also giving them confidence. In the past, we exchanged weapons for horses with thorns, but now it is different. Our weapons are for sale, which is also related to the future transactions of the Ming Dynasty weapons. The so-called "doubtless" and "doubtless" people. If I don't give them confidence now, how can I expect them to be independent abroad in the future? You must know that this is far away and the earth is far away. Many things must be decided by themselves, because there is no time to ask the court for advice. This round trip will last for more than half a year!"
After saying this, Jiang Chengzhi also understood what Jiang Lang meant. His meaning was actually to allow these people outside to have the ability to handle things independently. So the minimum point is to have confidence that their decisions are completely correct, not wrong. After all, these two people are young people. If they don’t even have confidence, they will have no way to handle things independently outside, and at the same time rely on their own ideas to make correct judgments!
"You are really good at it!"
Jiang Chengzhi couldn't help but sigh!
Jiang Lang smiled faintly and said, "This is a major matter to the court, so of course you have to be careful!"
The two chatted for a while and did not part until the afternoon. After Jiang Lang left, he went directly to the factory guard. After entering, Qian Zhengbang came to meet him and whispered: "Sir, that William has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Jiang Lang turned his head and saw that William was sitting there in the main hall, so he nodded and said, "I know!"
After saying that, he walked over. William should have a very clear intention. He just wanted to send someone to his country soon!
With a smile on his face, Jiang Lang greeted him and said, "Hello, Lord William, what wind has blown you to me?"
"What wind?"
William couldn't help but said strangely, turned his head to look outside, and said, "Well, it seems like the west wind today!"
When Jiang Lang heard this, he was immediately happy. William still didn't understand the polite words of China, and it was difficult to refute him. He smiled slightly and said, "By the way, where are you here this time?"
When Jiang Lang talked about it, William suddenly became anxious and said, "Mr. Wang, I have been waiting for you to be careful. I have also heard about the matter during this period. I heard that you are investigating a case. There was a result yesterday. By the way, it seems that the man has been beheaded. By the way, you are beheaded in the Ming Dynasty. Don't you use gallows?"
Jiang Lang shook his head and said, "Not for me. If this person is convicted of death, he will be beheaded directly, which is more convenient."
"Yeah?"
William said in confusion, but once the man's head was cut off, the blood would splatter everywhere, and the blood would flow all over the ground. However, at this time he also remembered his real purpose, so he asked again: "Mr. Wang, what's going on with us?"
You should know that William has been waiting for the Ming Dynasty to send someone to go in with him, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement. After asking, I found out that Lord Wang has been busy investigating a case during this period. He finally got through the case until he got to know it, so he came here early this morning, but he didn't expect that he would wait for a long time before he came back this afternoon!
Jiang Lang actually understood the anxious mood. He smiled slightly and said, "Old William, don't be too anxious. I'm not choosing a person I can trust. I'll be relieved only by choosing someone I can trust. You can rest assured. I will choose my person in a few days. Then I will let him go with you. What, and my wife is very interested in your country, so I will let them go with you. I don't know what you think?"
"Will your wife go to our country with us?"
William murmured strangely, looked at Jiang Lang with some concern, and said in surprise: "That's very far away. Can Mrs. Gui stand it?"
Jiang Lang nodded and said, "You can rest assured that my wife is in good health and can withstand it. At the same time, I asked them to go out to inspect your country. To a large extent, I have to know whether you are very sincere in doing business with us. What I believe most is naturally my wife. At the same time, I should go out and relax!"
In this way, Jiang Lang raised Zi Ling and others to the same identity as an envoy. If William wants to do business by himself, he must treat him well. Of course, let them transform the warships at that time, it will be more comfortable.
When William heard this, he understood Jiang Lang's meaning and sent his wife to go with him. Although he had never heard of this before, this was also a sign that this adult showed good to his country. Otherwise, how could his wife go too. He nodded and said, "Mr. Wang, we will definitely treat your wife well!"
"Then thank you Lord William!"
Jiang Lang thanked!
William quickly said politely: "Mr. Wang, this is what I deserve. What I hope most now is to set off soon!"
...
On the other hand, Ouyang Chengxu and the other person have begun to sell their weapons according to Jiang Lang's intentions, and the positioning of the price of weapons is the most important part, because Jiang Lang did not say what the price of these weapons are, nor did anyone tell them. The only basis for them is their own eyes. They can visit the entire process of weapon manufacturing, from the smelting of iron at the first time to the inspection and correction after the artillery is manufactured later, etc., and from these we estimate how much silver these weapons are worth.
Although there were only two people, Ouyang Chengxu was still a little nervous. He had to win this competition, and there was absolutely no other reason. Only by winning could he raise his head at home and let those in the family look down on him!
After a few days, Ouyang Chengxu had already remembered the whole process and was very familiar with it, but it was very important to determine how much this weapon could be sold for!
When he returned home, Ouyang Chengxu was already very tired. He had to see an envoy tomorrow, at least he had to confirm whether this person had sincerely planned to buy the weapons of the Ming Dynasty.
It’s dark now. As before, dinner time had passed at this time, so Ouyang Chengxu also planned to go back to his room directly and ask his servant to deliver something to himself and eat randomly!
"Young Master, the master told you to have dinner?"
The butler said at this time, he was waiting at the door!
"Call me to have a meal?"
Ouyang Chengxu couldn't help but say, "Have you heard it wrong?" Generally speaking, the family had already used supper at this time, but no one would wait for him. Today, he actually waited for him. The sun really came out from the west!"
But why is this? Ouyang Chengxu knew very well, and a sneer of mockery appeared on the corner of his mouth. To be honest, if he didn't have this opportunity at all, would there be people in this family waiting for him while having dinner? No, of course they wouldn't. No one in this family respects him because his mother was not born well, so his birth was also not good, so he had no status in this family!
"No need, go and tell the master, just say I've eaten!"
Ouyang Chengxu said lightly, after stepping towards his room, after entering, lit up the light, and carefully studied his notes!
Half an hour later, there was a knock on the door outside!
"who?"
Ouyang Chengxu asked without raising his head!
"Xu'er, open the door, it's me!"
Mother's voice came!
Ouyang Chengxu stood up and opened the door. He saw his mother standing outside the door with a tray. He quickly moved away from his body and said in surprise: "Mother, why are you here!"
Her mother smiled slightly and said, "I'll send you some food, you didn't have supper!"
There is no need to hide it from his mother Ouyang Chengxu. He nodded and said, "No food!"
"Then why don't you come to eat? Your father was furious just now and was very angry! The whole family is waiting for you to have a meal!"
His mother asked, but there was no point in blaming him!
"Mother, you know!"
Ouyang Chengxu said, after taking the tray, the dishes on the plate were all hot, and now his stomach was urging, so he naturally didn't hesitate to eat it!
Seeing her son eating voraciously, a hint of loving look appeared in her mother's eyes and said, "Eat slowly, don't choke!"
Ouyang Chengxu ummed twice and nodded as agreeing!
Her mother sighed slightly and said, "Your father is actually a very good person. I think you have prejudice against him!"
"A good person?"
Chapter completed!
