Chapter 329 Zhang Daqingtian
After discussing the matter of Jiehe Commercial City with Ji Yi and others, Wu Haogu was already sure of the specific matters of building Jiehe Commercial City. In the next few days, Wu Haogu devoted himself to the drafting of the "Jiehe Commercial City Charter".
The so-called "Jiehe Commercial City Articles" is not the "Constitution" of the Commercial City, but a method of opening the Commercial City. There are mainly ten articles: one is the location selection of the Commercial City; two is the method of requisition of the Commercial City land; three is the preliminary planning of the Commercial City construction; four is the relationship between the Commercial City and the Jiehe Commercial City; five is the method of raising the principal of the Commercial City; six is the organization of the Commercial City Chamber of Commerce; seven is the rights and responsibilities of the Chamber of Commerce; eight is the rights and responsibilities of the Chamber of Commerce shareholders; nine is the method of formulating the Commercial City Commercial Law; ten is the method of Kaifeng's imperial guards secretly entering the Commercial City.
After drafting the "Regulations", on August 23, Wu Haogu came to Zhang Shangying's Mansion with a painting "The True Face of the Arhat" and a draft of the "Regulations".
Zhang Shangying's mansion is on the banks of the Jinshui River in the inner city of Kaifeng Prefecture. It is almost the place with the highest housing prices. It is very close to the palace city, so the surrounding environment is very good, with green willows, gurgling water, and the roads are neat and wide. The Zhang family's house is not very big, which is just a yard with three in and three out, but it is very delicate. It can be seen that the owner has taken care of it with his heart.
Unlike most of the foreign officials who are officials in Kaifeng Prefecture who can't afford to buy a house in the city and can only rent a house, Zhang Shangying's mansion is his family's private property. It's not that he, the Secretariat, is a corrupt official, but because Zhang Shangying married a rich wife.
The "Picture of the True Face of the Arhat" copied by Du Wenyu by Wu Haogu was given to Mrs. Zhang. As for Zhang Shangying himself, he did not accept bribes. However, Wu Haogu, who had been in the officialdom of the Northern Song Dynasty for some time, was actually quite troubled by the innocent officials, so he would rather meet a dirty official.
Because dirty officials are generally "good people", they will not make things difficult for no reason, and they will not look down on close-minded officials and businessmen like Wu Haogu.
Eight out of ten are the ones who are afraid of being a person because they are upright, so they are not afraid of shadows! If you are not clean, how can you be fierce? Unless you are really in power.
Wu Haogu's new boss Zhang Shangying was a famous honest official and a murderer under Zhang Dun's tent. When he was a censor in his early years, he bit too fiercely, which caused Wen Yanbo and others to submit seals to ask for it, and was punished by Jingnan. In the early days of Zhezong's regent, he became the Kaifeng Prefecture Promoter, and dared to write a letter to oppose the abolition of the new policy. Later, he was kicked out as a prisoner for Hedong. After Zhezong took office, he submitted a memorial to scold Yuanyou ministers and fired the first shot of the Yuanyou party dispute!
Later, Zhang Dun and An Tao fought, and Zhang Shangying became Zhang Dun's cannon again, attacking An Tao on the pretext of an adopted son and daughter in An Tao's family's lawsuit against property. As a result, he became a victim of the party struggle again. He sent him to Jiangning to supervise the wine, and worked as a deputy envoy in the Jiang and Huai River before returning to Beijing. He first became the Minister of Works and then became the Minister of the Secretariat. In the promotion of the letter, he scolded the ministers of Yuanyou, which was so fierce that everyone was afraid of.
It is really not a pleasant thing for Wu Haogu to have such a number of bosses this time.
Moreover, Wu Haogu also knew that Emperor Zhezong would die soon. At that time, the Empress Dowager would rule the country from behind the curtain, and Zhang Shangying, the evil dog in the new party, would be in trouble. If he got too close to Zhang Shangying, he might be involved, and he would be in trouble.
However, Wu Haogu is not qualified to choose a boss! Since he became a subordinate of Zhang Shangying, he had to find a way to cater to Zhang Daqingtian's wishes and fool Lord Qingtian first.
Fortunately, Wu Haogu is a very good-for-all villain.
Wu Haogu came to the door of Zhang Shangying's mansion and sent the imperial edict. After waiting for a while, he saw Zhang Shangying's nephew Zhang Tingshan walking out of the house quickly.
Wu Haogu hurriedly stepped forward and sang a fat look, "How can the three yamen be greeted with their children? The officials can't bear it."
He had known the three yamen of the Zhang Mansion for a long time. The other party was also a regular visitor to Panlou Street. He was about the same age as Wu Haogu. He followed his uncle to study in Kaifeng Mansion and did some clerks. Sometimes he would "stole" his uncle's copybook and get it to Panlou Street for two money to spend Zhang Shangying's calligraphy, which was very sloppy, and it was very difficult to recognize, so it was not easy to sell. However, Zhang Tingshan became familiar with the young masters on Panlou Street and his seemingly young masters.
After hearing Wu Haogu's words, Zhang Tingshan shook his head repeatedly and said, "Dalang, aren't you ashamed of me? You are now the deputy envoy of the Dongshanghe Sect in the seventh grade... I am still a commoner, brother."
While presenting the scroll, Wu Haogu smiled and said, "In the blink of an eye, it will be a spring exam. The third brother will be a quasi-high school at that time, and will be a hero outside Donghua Gate. How could he compare to a military official and a military official?
"Da Lang is joking. I'm not your second child. I'm a good article. I really don't have much hope for this subject. If I fail, I have to go to Hebei East Road to do a Jiyi text." Zhang Tingshan took the scroll and frowned. "This is..."
His uncle is a clean official and does not accept gifts.
"This is copied by Du Wenyu," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "I ask the monk Lu from Daxiangguo Temple to open a glory. It's not worth it. Let's give Mrs. Zhang a look. If you like it, just give Wenyu a few moist pens."
If it was Wu Haogu’s handwritten "The True Face of the Arhat" written by Wu Haogu, it costs two or three thousand pieces (this painting has been a lot of ancient paintings, so the price is not high), if you really want to give it to Zhang Shangying, it would be corruption. However, Du Wenyu’s copy of "The True Face of the Arhat" is worthless, and it is just for Mrs. Zhang, the good Buddha.
So Zhang Tingshan put away the scroll and walked into Zhang's mansion with Wu Haogu.
While talking and laughing, the two of them walked into the back house of Zhang's mansion along a long corridor. They arrived outside a secluded courtyard and stopped.
Zhang Tingshan pointed his hand in front, "My uncle is in the Buddhist temple in front, you can go by yourself."
In later generations, Zhang Shangying was famous for his brush calligraphy and Buddhist lay Buddhists that he had never known. He did not believe in Buddhism, but he married a rich girl who believed in Buddhism. Under the influence of his wife, he also wrote a famous Buddhist book "Theory of the Dharma Protector", and became a famous Buddhist lay Buddhist.
Wu Haogu walked past a moon gate and saw a small Buddhist temple. It was quite pure around the temple. Wu Haogu walked to the door of the Buddhist temple, reached out and knocked on the door, and heard a low and majestic Sichuan voice coming from inside: "Just come in."
Wu Haogu pushed the door open and walked into the Buddhist temple.
I saw a Buddhist temple hosting Guanyin Bodhisattva. In front of the Buddha's niche, an old man with a beautiful appearance and a long beard sitting cross-legged on the mat. Wu Haogu could feel a bit majestic and solemn atmosphere from afar.
Seeing Wu Haogu come in, the old man smiled and said, "Wu Chongdao, let's sit."
Is this Zhang Shangying?
Wu Haogu stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "The lower official Wu Haogu has met Zhang Zhongshu."
The Zhongshu Sheren in the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty was an incredible dispatch, because the Zhongshu Sheren was the official position of the prime minister and did not actually manage the Zhongshu Sheren, so the Zhongshu Sheren became the actual person in charge of the Zhongshu Sheren. The Zhongshu Sheren could also refer to the illegal edict on the grounds that the edict was "citou" (citou is the emperor's will, and the Zhongshu Sheren drafted the edict based on Citou) and return it!
Because of this power, the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat almost became a "little prime minister". Zhang Shangying, who was able to become a Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat under Zhang Dun who monopolized the power, was Zhang Shangying who was Zhang Dun's confidant, and might be the successor, so he must fool him.
Zhang Shangying squinted his eyes and looked at Wu Haogu. After a moment, he suddenly asked: "You are doing such a big deal in Yanggu County!"
Wu Hao was heard by hearing about ancient times, and my heart was shocked.
Yanggu County? What does Zhang Shangying know?
"The matters in Yanggu County... are not very clear about it."
Anyway, Old Man Murong hasn't fallen yet! The sky has fallen, so he can just hold on. Wu Haogu simply asks me a question and doesn't know.
"Haha, I am with Shi Zhixian from Yanggu County.
In his letter to me, he told me the whole story. You have taken a very difficult concubine!"
Wu Haogu took a breath, what does Zhang Shangying mean?
Knock yourself?
Or do you want to use the Ximen family’s forces?
Wu Haogu felt a little more confused.
"Chongdao, you are visiting today. Should you talk about Jiehe Commercial City?"
Zhang Shangying changed the subject and asked about the important matters.
Wu Haogu presented the "charter" he had drawn up and said, "Shunshu, the senior official has drafted these, please check it out."
Zhang Shangying took the "charter" presented by Wu Haogu, and then looked carefully: "The imperial guards are going to go in? I'm afraid the Liao people won't agree, right? What's the name to use?"
Wu Hao was prepared for a long time and said, "The lower official reads the "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and says: Therefore, those who are wise and virtuous generals can defeat others when they move. Success comes from the crowd is a prophet. Prophets cannot be taken from ghosts and gods, cannot be seen from things, cannot be verified from others, and must be taken from others, and know the feelings of the enemy."
"Is this... Yongjian?" Of course, Zhang Shangying had read Sun Tzu's Art of War. The civil officials of the Song Dynasty were not interested in the "Murong Art of War" that Old Man Murong used to command teams, but everyone was familiar with "Sun Tzu's Art of War". Zhang Shangying was no exception, so he immediately heard what Wu Haogu said about "Sun Tzu's Art of War. Yongjian Pian".
"It is precisely the use of the room," Wuhao Ancient Road, "the officials thought there should be a secret office located in Jiehe Shang City, which was specifically responsible for using the room for the Liao Kingdom. The officials in this office can be served by the generals of the Kaifeng Imperial Army."
"What a bottom?" Zhang Shangying frowned, "With military generals as a sergeant? Can they do it?"
Chapter completed!
