27. Special mission to make a narrator

By reputation, who is it if it’s not Zhao Wanyong?

"Oh, why did you come to Donglai!" When Hong Jing came to Donglai, there wasn't even a braggadocio of the same level. There was no player of the same level in this place, but he was so lonely.

As a contemporary "new intellectual" who has not broken away from the trend of the times and knows the Hundred Years' War and the Thirty Years' War between Britain and France, Zhao Wanyong is one of the only talents these days who can be on the same channel as Hong Jinglai.

It's rare to have like-minded people. You can tell whether Hong Jinglai is pleasantly surprised or not.

"I was ordered to recruit Japanese and foreign ships, hard work! Brother Hong Shi is doing well these days." Zhao Wanyong also came up happily, and the two held hands tightly.

"For such a small matter, just write it down for me and I will take care of it for you. Why bother to come here in person?"

"It's a rare opportunity to go out of Beijing and see my brother again."

The two chatted arm in arm. They had known each other since they wrote a scroll together in front of the Mingzheng Palace and even built a steam engine before. During the exchanges, they were intimate and even had a wonderful conversation about giving "illustrations". They got on well and the more they chatted, the better

If you are close, you will naturally like it.

"Brother Hong, who is this?" Li Shangxian saw Hong Jing coming to get off the boat and held Zhao Wanyong's hand and kept talking, knowing that a friend was here.

Anyone who can be friends with the great nobleman Fengshan Hong must also be a great nobleman, so there is no harm in getting to know him.

"Ah, this is Zhao Wanyong, the deputy school manager of Sungkyun, who was ordered to come to recruit foreign ships."

"This is Mr. Li Sangxian, a member of the navy of Yousuying, Gyeongsang Province." Hong Jinglai introduced him.

"Could it be that he is the son of the former official Zhao Lingjian's family, the number one scholar in Renxu?" Zhao Wanyong is a world-famous number one scholar. On the day he was admitted to the imperial examination, he would distribute the good news widely and inform the whole country. It is not surprising that he is remembered by others.

However, Hong Jinglai had a wide range of friends, and he was actually so close to the son of a former official and judge. This made Li Shangxian take another look and felt that he was right to be close to Hong Jinglai.

Moreover, Hong Jinglai is also the father-in-law of Renxu Science and Technology. It is conceivable that Hong Jinglai and Zhao Wanyong will be natural political allies in the future. With Zhao Wanyong's family background, if he becomes the official of heaven in his forties twenty years later, Hong Jinglai will definitely be attracted by him.

Cited into the hub.

Even if you hold on to these two thighs for the sake of your child's future, you will only gain a hundred benefits and no harm.

"It's just a bad name, I'm sorry for you. Also, brother, I was promoted to the position of school principal in Sungkyun years ago based on my seniority."

Zhao Wanyong is a handsome and noble son, his manners are warm and gentle, and his appearance and bearing are good, which makes people feel close to him.

"Oh my, congratulations. You are a talented young man. He is the best in literature. It is natural for him to be promoted to school president." Hong Jinglai expressed his sincere wishes.

After exchanging greetings, Li Sangxian knew that it was better to have a brief taste and not to disturb the closeness between the two of them. He made them familiar first and then left time for the two of them.

This is the vision of an old bureaucrat. When it is time to be shameless, even a city wall cannot compare. When it is time to retreat, there is no sloppiness at all and it will not make people bored.

Zhao Yinyong actually came over this time, but he was obsessed with collecting tablets and imitating stone carvings. After finally leaving the capital, Sahuan'er ran away. Anyway, his family was following him, so he couldn't lose it.

The two rode horses to Fushan Pucheng and talked about the recent situation in Hanyang on the way. Jinzu Chunjin was appointed as the official Cao Yanshu, and he was even more powerful.

However, there is a piece of news that is even more concerning. When Hong Jinglai first came out, Jin Dalshun, who served as the Taoist Observer in Hwanghae Road, was directly overthrown by Min Ting because of the civil unrest under his rule and the concealment of the disaster.

As a result, he was appointed as the Jeolla Province Observer a few months later, actively suppressed Catholics, and tried to frame Kim Jo-soon with charges, which earned him the special favor of Princess Jeongsun.

He has been recruited to Hanyang and serves as the right-hand member of the Uijeongye government, becoming the leader of the secluded faction. At this moment, he is in the limelight, surpassing Kim Jo-soon and Park Jong-kyung, and he has the vague appearance of being the biggest boss in the DPRK.

It was agreed that Jin Zuchun would start power politics, but for two years, Hong Jinglai only saw him fighting you today and fighting him tomorrow. Fighting back and forth, he only consolidated his position. It seems that there is still a long way to go before he can single-handedly control the court.

A long way to go.

"It is now the fourth year that His Highness has succeeded to the throne. Has anyone in the court mentioned pro-government?"

"This..." Zhao Wanyong hesitated for a moment.

"Don't worry, I'm just asking, not asking for anything."

"There are some discussions among the clan members."

"Li Shujiu!" The first thing that Hong Jinglai thought of was naturally the artillery king. Relying on his clan status and his status as uncle Wang, he fired artillery in all directions in the court, and no one could stop him.

"That's one, there are others."

"The Princess Wang has been listening to the government behind the curtain for a long time, and the clan members will always be a little unhappy. Besides, now that she is getting married and she is getting older, maybe..."

"We are lowly and powerful, and this is not something you and I can discuss." Zhao Wanyong's eyes flashed with several different looks. He obviously had opinions, but he did not show it.

"Right!"

Then the two people briefly chatted about Zhao Wanyong's coming to recruit ocean ships. This only required a handwritten message to Liu Cheng of Laishang. Laishang had enough foreign ships, and the people being mobilized were not

No benefit.

The Communications Mission to Japan was a formal and legal mission. It brought ten or eight large ships with it, but it was dumping foreign goods to Japan without paying taxes. This kind of good thing could only be possible if General Tokugawa died or succeeded to the throne.

What remains is the matter of the translator. Hong Jinglai has already selected this person. Six Laishang merchants from his own branch have already written a list and submitted it to Hanyang Licao. He must be from a middle-class family with a clean family background and a proven origin.

"By the way, Brother Xian is here not only to recruit foreign ships," Hong Jinglai reflected.

"Yes, I've hired a missionary to serve as an official. I'll settle down in Donglai first."

"That……"

"My brother-in-law made up for the young officer, let's go and see him." Zhao Wanyong knew Hong Jinglai's doubts about how he, as a member of the diplomatic corps, could still bring his family with him.

very nice!

Coming from a big family, I was able to travel abroad at my own expense at a young age to increase my knowledge and experience foreign customs and customs.

When Hong Jinglai was Zhao Yinyong's age, he was still studying scriptures and learning Chinese in the valley of his hometown. He lived a life of barely enough food and clothing, and tried to pass the Jinshi examination.

"Oh, I'm just here to talk to you, but there's still one thing I haven't done yet."

"What has not been done? In Donglai, I am still a bit thin, so there is nothing I can't do." Hong Jinglai has been in Donglai for more than half a year and has met a lot of people.

"Hahahahaha, it's nothing." Zhao Wanyong took a roll of fine silk from his family.

"What I am reading out now is the edict. Hong Jing, the judge of Donglai Prefecture, is here to receive the edict!"

Hong Jinglai got excited, straightened his hat, and immediately knelt down.
Chapter completed!
