Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan

Chapter 145 Do you still think I am the same Wei Shuyi from before?

Wei Yuan and Xu Changzhi were on their way to Sheng's house.

The latter remembered something and said:

"Your Majesty has implemented your perfect salt introduction method."

"Jianning Haijia, you know, right?"

Wei Yuan nodded thoughtfully.

"One of the five Hanlin schools is even more prominent than the Su family. It is the representative family of the most elite civil servants in the court, second only to Mr. Bao."

"What? What does Yan Yin's matter have to do with the Hai family?"

Xu Changzhi said slowly: "Haizhou, the eldest son of the Hai family, is the one who is an official in the Ministry of Household Affairs. He will be sent by His Majesty to the two Zhejiang areas to implement the salt introduction method."

"He hasn't set off yet, but it should be soon. He sent a message to the officials yesterday, saying that he wanted to ask them to lift the sea ban."

Lift the sea ban?

The sea ban in the Great Zhou Dynasty began with Emperor Taizong of the Zhou Dynasty.

At first, some residents were restricted from going to sea. If they really wanted to go to sea, they needed to apply for permission from the Shipping Department of the two Zhejiang cities.

By the time of Zhao Zhen, due to the small-scale pirate problem along the coast, the sea was completely banned.

Shibosi has also changed from a fat and oily yamen to the famous Qingshui yamen now, where even soup can't be obtained.

I don’t know how many people’s interests have been cut and touched.

"As far as I know, the Hai family seems to have written many times to lift the maritime ban. How does this matter have anything to do with us?"

Wei Yuan asked curiously.

The Hai family is rooted in Jiangning, and many of their businesses are related to the "sea".

"Brother Wei, don't worry, just listen to me."

"The Japanese state has signed a letter of credence and will send envoys around the end of the year."

"The Hai family's proposal to lift the maritime ban at this time may be related to the Japanese envoys."

"Most of the pirates along the coast are Japanese."

"The Hai family may want to help us, the Zhou Dynasty, and the Japanese country to jointly eliminate maritime troubles."

"If the government really wants to lift the maritime ban, it might not be an opportunity for us."

So much for listening to Xu Changzhi’s long speech.

Only then did Wei Yuan realize that if they really wanted to eliminate the pirates along the coast, the new army could take the initiative to join the army and earn some military merit.

"The Japanese country is ambitious and has been coveting the land of China for I don't know how long."

"Alliance with them to eliminate pirates? It's completely unnecessary. How can we, the Great Zhou Dynasty, not be able to defeat those rogue bandits?"

"Besides, I guess those Japanese pirates and thieves were under the instruction of the Japanese state."

Due to the hatred between his country and his family in his previous life, Wei Yuan did not have the slightest fondness for the Japanese country.

Even if he had the chance, he wanted to pacify the Japanese country and make it extinct.

Xu Changzhi said: "The Hai family has this plan, otherwise they would have no reason to ask the officials to lift the maritime ban."

"Anyway, if the officials are really interested, they can sharpen their swords for the new army."

Wei Yuan nodded slightly and said, "When this matter is finalized, I will submit a letter to His Majesty."

"Okay, we've arrived at the Sheng family. There are many people and mixed views. Let's not talk about the court affairs for the time being."

Eliminate Japanese pirates?

No, it's not impossible. Anyway, it's much easier to fight than Liao and Xia.

Moreover, as the saying goes, "Records of Military Training" should be used in the north and "New Book of Records" should be used in the south.

Now that the actual military training records have been released, a new book is needed.

Taking advantage of the critical moment when the Hai family submitted a memorial to request the government to lift the maritime ban, the "New Book of Ji Xiao" might be published.

Wait for Wei Yuan and Xu Changzhi to arrive at Sheng's house.

Sheng Hong and a group of colleagues went to greet him personally.

"Brother Yuan, I thought you would come at an auspicious time, but I didn't expect you to come so early."

"I have seen Uncle Zhongyong. When Uncle Zhongyong defeated the two envoys of Liao and Xia in the palace, I happened to be watching. Uncle Zhongyong is really brave!"

"General Wei, it's better to be famous than to meet him. I am courteous to my subordinates."

"Is this Xu Hujun? I have heard many frontier soldiers mention that they are brave enough to look at Chen Yuanzhi and wise enough to look at Xu Changzhi. Both wisdom and bravery belong to Wei Yuan."

"It's a great honor to be able to meet the wise generals Xu Hujun and General Wei today."

"."

"Wise General" Xu Changzhi is his nickname in the military.

The people Sheng Hong knew were basically civil servants.

The reason why they can praise Wei Yuan and Xu Changzhi so much is very simple.

Just because both of them are popular figures in the court today.

Especially for Wei Yuan, there is no need to say much about the power and background of the military commander.

Even on the civil servant's side, there was Bao Qingtian standing behind him.

You really can’t mess with it!

"You guys are joking, sister, please hurry up and take a seat."

"Cousin, everyone, stop standing around, sit down and talk."

Wei Yuan and Xu Changzhi spoke one after another.

Sheng Hong had a decent face and said with a smile from ear to ear:

"What I'm saying is, everyone, please take a seat."

at the same time.

Sheng's backyard.

With the addition of Mrs. Wang, Wei Shuyi and his wife felt a little pressure.

When Mrs. Kang Wang saw her mother approaching, she quickly stepped forward to support her.

"Mom, it's still early before the auspicious time. Why don't you rest at home before coming over."

Mrs. Wang smiled and said:

"I haven't seen my old sister for a long time, and I miss her very much, so I came earlier."

"Ruofe, where is your mother-in-law?"

The sister she calls is naturally Mrs. Sheng.

Wang Ruofu smiled and said: "I should be at Shou'an Hall now, I should be here soon."

Mrs. Wang nodded, looked at Princess Pingning, and said with a gentle expression:

"The princess's participation in my granddaughter's wedding today has given us a lot of face. It's really a blessing."

Princess Pingning smiled and said, "Old Madam Wang said something serious."

"It's not serious." Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Tomorrow, let's go see tea. Don't keep our distinguished guests waiting."

Princess Pingning said calmly: "It doesn't matter, I'm not too thirsty now."

Wei Shu glanced at Minglan,

"Tomorrow, go to Shou'an Hall to see if the old lady is alright, and help take care of her."

Minglan bowed and said, "No."

Kang Wang said: "Don't worry, it's not too late to go after the tea is served. It's one thing if the princess doesn't drink it, but it's another thing if you pour the tea or not."

"Tomorrow, Princess Pingning will finally come to our house. You must not lose your etiquette."

"Otherwise, it would be bad for others to see the joke."

Minglan frowned slightly.

Wei Shuyi said with an unhappy expression: "There are maids here, the old lady's side is more important."

"Princess, you can drink this cup of tea tomorrow, anytime, right?"

Princess Pingning smiled and nodded.

Minglan was relieved and left here.

It's not that she can't pour that cup of tea.

However, I just don’t want to fall to people like Kang Wang.

Why are you showing off like an elder? Who has anything to do with you?

Wait until Minglan leaves here.

Everyone went to the pavilion to sit for a while.

Wei Shuyi winked at Xiaodie. Xiaodie understood and poured tea for everyone one by one.

After Princess Pingning and Mrs. Wang sat down together.

Kang Wang and Wang Ruofu also took their seats.

Just as Wei Shuyi was about to sit down, he heard Mrs. Wang's thoughtful voice,

"In front of the princess, there are some things that I can't say easily."

"But when I see you today, I can't help but say a few words, so please don't be too troublesome, Mrs. Gaoming."

"As the saying goes, everything prospers when a family is harmonious. You have to help Ruofu take care of the Sheng family."

Hearing this, Wei Shu nodded and was about to sit down.

Then I heard King Kang say again:

"Didn't you see the elders' lectures?"

"With all your strength right now, you can't stand up anymore?"

If it was the former Wei Shuyi, after hearing these words, the endurance would have passed.

She kept her composure and let Lin Sushuang and her daughter lie in bed for half a year.

This shows that she is no longer the weak Wei Shuyi before.

I heard what Kang Wang said.

Wei Shuyi finally stopped giving in, sat on the stone bench, and said in a deep voice:

"Old Mrs. Wang is a first-class imperial concubine. Needless to say, the princess's wife is the mistress of the family."

"Who are you? You have no right to speak, so how can you interrupt when we are talking?"

"If this is according to the rules of etiquette, I should be slapped."

Palm mouth?

Who gets the mouth?

Hearing this, Prince Kang immediately said angrily:

"I am the biological sister of the eldest lady of your Sheng family. How dare you let me stand? You also want to slap my mouth. How can there be such a rule?"

After a pause, she suddenly smiled and said:

"Okay, I get it now."

"As expected of Uncle Zhongyong's sister, she is using her power to bully others."

"I just said something fair, but you are so aggressive. Do you want to embarrass me?"

After saying that, he leaned towards Mrs. Wang and pretended to cry.

Wang Ruofu tried to smooth things over and said, "As a family, please don't talk about these two families."

Princess Pingning seemed not to hear the sound between them and kept drinking tea.

Mrs. Wang coughed twice and said seriously:

"I'm sorry, even if you have received the imperial edict now, you shouldn't have spoken so harshly."

"I just said, everything will be prosperous when the family is in harmony."

Does your daughter speak nicely? .Wei Shu smiled heartily,

"Yes, everything is going well with the family. After all, this family's surname is Sheng."

"Girls from other families who are already married should be careful in their words and deeds in other people's homes."

"Otherwise, it would cause trouble, which would be bad."

Disaster?

Kang Wang said with a displeased look on his face: "I just say a few words to you, what harm can happen?"

"Besides, what I said is wrong? If my mother talks about me, I will stand still."

"Could it be that you, Mrs. Gaoming, don't understand the meaning of seniority and inferiority?"

"Okay, I won't quarrel with you on this special day. Princess Pingning is still here, and she is too lazy to meet you like a country woman."

She looked at Wang Ruofu again, "Sister, are you right?"
