Chapter 126 Pan Suer
The next morning, Wu Haogu and Mi Youren changed into clean Confucian uniforms, each rode a well-behaved and obedient horse, left the house of Pan Daren in Daming Mansion, and headed towards the old Pan family house in the south of the city.
The prosperous and lively Daming Mansion is in the north of the city, and the south of the city is full of mansions, but it looks a bit cold. Moreover, most of the mansions are a bit old and seem to have not been repaired for decades. However, the old houses here at the Pan Family Generals look grand and spectacular, and they look a little new. The gate with vermilion copper rings, finely carved stone lions, stairs made of stones, there is a row of horse-tie stones on the left side of the door, and a row of hanging lamp poles on the right side of the door, all of which are hung with the angrily lanterns with the word "Pan" written on it, and on both sides of the door are newly painted black tiles and white walls.
When you ride on the horse and look in, you can vaguely see the wings of the flying eaves, magnificent.
When the horse arrived in front of the door, Wu Haogu thought of "As soon as he entered the marquis's gate, he was as deep as the sea." Pan Mei was named Han Duke back then! His identity was higher than that of the marquis. His residence in his hometown of Daming Mansion was probably as deep as the sea...
The future is really bright if you can marry the daughter of the Pan family and make friends with the future Song Huizong!
Not to mention the career of the officialdom, it is just a "white glove" of Emperor Huizong of Song. Isn't it easy to gather a few "small goals" in the future?
Don’t you always talk about the backstage when doing business in later generations?
With several "small goals", the future will be a question of how to burn money... The Song Dynasty did not die because it had no money, but because it had no money.
As long as you can take out one of the "small goals" and cook it well, it will burn it all on the blade and burn it in place, and you are still afraid that you will not be able to burn a peaceful and prosperous era?
While Wu Haogu was thinking about the bright prospects of spending money to save the country in the future, the Pan Mansion's door had already opened a side door and came out.
"Are you here at Dalang of the Mi family and Mr. Wu Chongdao?"
The owner of this family was very polite. It was obvious that the owner of Pan's mansion had taken care of him in the morning.
Mi Youren said, "I am Mi Youren, this is Wu Chongdao, the governor Pan and General Left Guard of the Mansion invited us to visit.
Can Governor Pan and General Left Guard be in the mansion?"
Pan Xiaoyan's governor of Enzhou and Pan Yi's Left Guard were both military officials and their official positions were not low. However, neither of them had any official positions, and they had no positions, so they only had money and didn't have to work!
This is also Wu Haogu's pursuit... Of course, he did not want to work, but did not want to work for the court. Because the Song Dynasty will only perish for more than 20 years, and it will basically be the world of the new party. All kinds of reforms aimed at "enriching the country" have achieved certain success. Reforms aimed at strengthening the army are doomed to be unimplemented.
Moreover, Song Huizong was also the most authoritative official in the history of the Song Dynasty.
If Wu Haogu could influence Song Huizong, there would be no need to enter the huge Song Dynasty bureaucratic system. If not, then it would be useless even if he was the prime minister.
During the Huizong Dynasty, the prime minister wanted to restrict the government?
Isn't this a dream?
Moreover, what Wu Haogu has to do now, such as opening the Six Arts Academy, raising high-quality war horses, developing Haizhou and Yuntaishan, developing marine trade fleets, using money to understand the Liao Kingdom's internal affairs, etc., are not something that the prime minister can do.
As for starting a company while being the prime minister... this is so beautiful!
With the carefulness of the Song Dynasty officials, would a prime minister allow a few small goals to be mastered and have a fleet that can be hired at sea?
As for the prime minister's establishment of a Six Arts Academy, he taught a bunch of Confucian scholars who could ride horses and shoot archers... This was either to form a clique for personal gain or to accumulate force on private matters, he could even trap rebellion.
And colluding with the Han tribes of the Liao Kingdom... As far as Wu Haogu knows, this power has always been a national trust center dominated by eunuchs! The East Palace and the West Palace can only make suggestions and cannot participate directly.
Otherwise, why did Ma Zhi find a castrator Tong Guan in history?
In fact, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty did not have much power, and he was stared at by the censors. If he had any special rules, he would fly like snowflakes. From the founding of the country to the present, only Zhang Dun is an exception. He has been the only prime minister for many years and has been deeply trusted by the officials. However, he did not dare to do something that made the officials suspicious.
On the contrary, being a white glove businessman, as long as you gain the full trust of Song Huizong, you can do a little more career.
After all, "White Gloves" made money for Song Huizong, and that was Song Huizong's own people. Moreover, "White Gloves" did not involve the regime and military power, and it was not that eunuchs without eggs could control the palace to threaten the king. They were completely harmless for humans and animals.
In addition, the prime ministers and officials of the Song Dynasty usually did not work in one position for too long - the officials were afraid that the ministers would develop power - so serious officials often traveled around the world, constantly familiarizing themselves with new positions, and the time they could do careers was very limited.
So making a harmless white glove and silently adding bricks to the Song Dynasty seemed to be the best way for Wu Haogu to change the painful history in the future.
"Brother Yuanhui, Mr. Chongdao, the two great masters are here. I am sorry for your crimes and forgive me."
When Wu Haogu and Mi Youren got off the horse and tidied up their clothes, Pan Yi, the young master of the Pan family, had already stepped out to greet him.
"Teacher, this is the General of the Left Guard." Mi Youren introduced to the two, "Darang, this is Mr. Chongdao, his master."
"I have met Mr. Pan below."
Wu Haogu quickly bowed to Pan Yi. He is now white, while Pan Yi is a fifth-rank Left Guard General - the Left Guard General is a "environmental sanitation official". He is not an environmental sanitation official, but an official who cares about everything. He is nominally a "immune guard" and is responsible for defending the official family. In fact, he is an official at home and has a salary. But after all, he is an official, and his rank is not low, so Wu Haogu has to salute him.
Pan Yi seemed very polite and did not have the airs of the young master of the sect at all. It seemed that he had already treated Wu Haogu as his "brother-in-law".
Wu Haogu entered the gate accompanied by Pan Yi and Mi Youren. As soon as he entered the door, he found that the house was being constructed everywhere. Most of the pavilions and towers were equipped with scaffolding, and there were people resting around the trees, mountains and rocks.
Moreover, this house covers a huge area, exceeding the Pan home in Kaifeng Prefecture. If it were placed in Kaifeng Prefecture, it would be worth at least a few million!
Wu Haogu followed Pan Yi and Mi Youren into the house, walked through the yard several times, and then walked around a long curved corridor before he arrived at the yard that had been completely repaired. There were no workers working in the yard, and only a few servants in green clothes and hats were cleaning.
A man in a green robe, about forty years old, with clear facial features, neatly combed hair under the square scarf and three short beards under the jaw, quickly came out of the main hall.
Wu Haogu only took a look and knew that this person must be the housekeeper or manager of the Pan family.
The man in green bowed to Pan Yi: "Young master, the seventh sister has arrived."
Wu Haogu thought: It seems that he will not see the boss of the Pan family's generals today, Enzhou Governor Pan Xiaoyan. But it is right to think about it. He is still a white man, and the future prince consort has given him enough face. If he wants to see the leader of the general, he must at least have an official position, right?
It seems that the official also needs to hurry up and make one... After accepting Zhao Ji, a good disciple, I will ask him to recommend one.
Pan Yi turned his head and smiled at Wu Haogu: "Chongdao, my father has some civil affairs, so he went to see Han Dafu."
Han Dafu is a bachelor of Zizheng Hall and a master of Daming Palace. He is the eldest son of Han Qi, an important minister who has been a minister for ten years and assisted the three dynasties. He is an old party figure and is naturally close to the nobles of the generals and nobles of Kaifeng Prefecture.
"Why might as well meet my seventh sister first?" Pan Yi continued.
"Okay, OK."
Pan Yi waved at the Qingyi Supervisor, and the Supervisor strode away, pushed open a door, and called out, "Sister Qi, come out quickly."
"Well, come here."
