Chapter 82 Marriage
Wang Jinghui's preparations are far from Wang Anshi's level, and his reputation is not as high as Wang Anshi. Even if there is an emperor to support him, if there is a problem, he will not be able to guarantee that he will not end in a notorious end. Moreover, Yingzong Zhao Shu is not as aggressive as his son Shenzong. In addition to his poor health, he is much more mature in governing the country than Shenzong, which has just succeeded in the throne in history. If Wang Anshi jumped out at this time and told Yingzong Zhao Shu that he wanted to reform, he would probably not get any good results. That is, the reforms launched by Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi and others in Renzong era were the same as the ending.
Wang Jinghui knew that under the current context, many knowledgeable people from the Song Dynasty could see the current empire's shortcomings, and they also had various discussions about it. They hoped to find a way out so that the Song Dynasty could revive. Among these knowledgeable people, in addition to the stormy reform faction represented by Wang Anshi, even Ouyang Xiu, Han Qi and Sima Guang, who were his rivals in history, also agreed with the reform, but they hoped to slow down their efforts; of course, there were also Su Shi, the representative of the cold and heat faction later.
These people are in the important position, and they are nagging around the emperor day and night. I guess as long as they are not foolish monarchs, they know that measures should be taken at this time. Yingzong Zhao Shu should be considered a very diligent emperor, so Wang Jinghui believes that he is still in the preparation stage before the reform. What Wang Jinghui needs to do now is to recall the history of the Xining reform period in his mind. Although history has changed, Wang Anshi's reform provisions are still very referenceable. After considering it clearly, he will use a policy theory to influence Yingzong Zhao Shu. It seems that this is both safe and safe.
No matter what, social change cannot immediately send money to the Song Dynasty. Now the finances of the Song Dynasty are so tense, the only way is to come up with a good way to make money quickly for Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu. Of course, it cannot scrape the ground like Sang Hongyang in the Han Dynasty to harm the people. So after thinking about it, this glass mirror makes the fastest money. I remember that the small mirror given to the French queen by the Venetians was worth 150,000 francs, and the Venetian mirror strategy made the French finance miserable. So I sent someone to secretly learn the technology of making mirrors.
Wang Jinghui's real estate industry is enough for him to do everything except rebellion, so the mirror making technology that had high hopes for has become useless. Instead of letting it get moldy in his head, it is better to give it to his future father-in-law, Yingzong Zhao Shu, to solve the current financial difficulties of the country. Otherwise, the court would have no money and the people would suffer in the end.
Since the production technology of glass mirrors will become an important part of the financial income of the Song Dynasty, Wang Jinghui did not use fake hands when making glass mirrors, but the mercury was poisonous. He also covered his mouth and nose with a wet towel every day to enter the production room to see the changes in the glass mirror.
While waiting for the mirror to complete the time, Wang Jinghui had to work on other things. In the 21st century, he had been a best man for his friend and came to the conclusion that getting married was very troublesome. However, the complexity of his friend's wedding and the situation he is facing now are simply pediatrics.
These days, I went to Xiangguo Temple to test the words of Wang Jinghui and the Princess of Shu to determine the specific wedding date, and to buy various wedding items. The most serious thing is that these things must meet many requirements and cannot be bought casually. There is a certain statement even if there are certain numbers. Although Wang Jinghui was tired like a dead pig, he still gritted his teeth and survived. Who made the person he loved was the Princess of Shu? Fortunately, Manager Li, the assistant sent by Han Qi, and a large number of people, including the ritual officer sent by Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu, surrounded Wang Jinghui alone, which reduced a lot of burden.
Although Wang Jinghui was so busy that he couldn't get to the ground, he still did not forget the importance of the glass mirror. He even sent a small team of imperial soldiers to patrol around the hut day and night. At first, Fu Bi thought it was a big deal and was unwilling to send troops, but Wang Jinghui told him and Han Qi very seriously. If the things in this room were made, it would bring millions of yuan in income every year to the Song Dynasty. Han Qi heard that he had golden light from his eyes. After Han Qi's lobbying, Fu Bi sent troops. Because Wang Jinghui never broke his promise, Han Qi was almost crazy. What kind of thing can be so valuable? However, Wang Jinghui persuaded Han Qi to wait patiently for twenty days in order to recognize his adoptive father's health.
I don’t know how the officials of the Ministry of Rites calculated that the third day of June was an auspicious day. Since Wang Jinghui had no parents, his adoptive father Han Qi was the elder. Ouyang Xiu had a good personal relationship with Han Qi, so he became the marriage partner of Wang Jinghui, the husband’s husband. On the third day of June, Ouyang Xiu led everyone to the Neidong Gate with various geese, coins, jade, horses and other items in line with the etiquette, and prepared to be inspected by eunuchs and officials of the Ministry of Rites. The officials of the Ministry of Rites, who were responsible for the princess’ wedding, walked past these brides and checked them carefully, and there was no mistake. But when he reached the last place, he stopped: there was something he had never seen before, and he changed the booklet he brought, and he didn’t know what to do.
The thing that officials of the Ministry of Rites had never seen was the glass mirror made by Wang Jinghui. This was a glass mirror that was one foot square. After more than 20 days of waiting for the glass mirror, Wang Jinghui suffered a crushing defeat. He made fifty-four yuan at one time, and only eighteen yuan was considered to be overviewed. The others became terrible waste. Fortunately, the flat glass could continue to be used, otherwise Wang Jinghui would have cried to death. But thinking about the eighteen glass mirrors is enough. Although I don’t know how much 150,000 francs are worth now, Wang Jinghui’s original intention was to position the glass mirror as a high-end luxury product, and he never thought that the price could be less than 10,000 cents.
Wang Jinghui took out a glass mirror made for Han Qi to see, and asked Manager Li to come over to estimate the price. When they saw this glass mirror, their heads were short-circuited. Manager Li could not estimate the price because although the workmanship of this mirror seemed rough, without gold and silver, and looked ugly, it was the first time he had seen a mirror that could reflect people so clearly, and it was made of glass. He gritted his teeth and gave him a price of 20,000 yuan. After Han Qi heard Manager Li's offer, he learned from his adopted son that Manager Li was the shopkeeper of Xu's jewelry store. His eyes were full of Brother Kong Fang.
The first batch of eighteen glass mirrors were all square. Manager Li, Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu and others each got one, and Wang Jinghui had to leave six yuan for the bride price when getting married. The others were brought back to the palace by Han Qi. On the one hand, he reported to Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu to relieve the financial resources of the Song Dynasty. On the other hand, he distributed the excess mirrors to various gods in the harem: Empress Dowager Cao, Empress Gao, Princess Xiang of King Ying and Zhao Xu, the wife of Princess Xiang, and three princesses...
This glass mirror was sent to the palace the day before yesterday. The official of the Ministry of Rites knew it, but he still knew it was a mirror made of glass, but he didn't know if it was in line with the etiquette. The eunuch next to him had seen a glass mirror. After all, the glass mirror became news after being sent to the palace. The eunuch has a great status in the palace, so of course he had seen this new thing. Seeing the official of the Ministry of Rites next to him frantically flirting with the booklets, he knew what was going on. The eunuch pulled Ouyang Xiu and the official of the Ministry of Rites aside and said, "This glass mirror was sent to the palace a few times ago. Not many people know it yet, but the emperor knows it. So this adult should stop thinking about the ritual system and treat it as a bronze mirror!"
After hearing this, Ouyang Xiu and the official of the Ministry of Rites felt polite, so they agreed to the suggestion. The official of the Ministry of Rites made a big mistake. The things were accepted by eunuchs and officials of the Ministry of Rites and sent them into the palace, but the sixteen white horses were left for Ouyang Xiu to take them back.
On the sixth day of the sixth month, Wang Jinghui put on his clothes before dawn today with the help of his servants. Today is the day when he met Qianyu, but unlike in the past, it is: Wang Ying and Zhao Xu don’t need to be in touch today, and after meeting Qianyu today, they no longer have to separate because today is Wang Jinghui’s day, so even the groom’s outfit must be worn with the help of people who come from the palace.
In Wang Jinghui's new residence, everyone was making final preparations. Zong Zhengsi and the Ministry of Rites sent capable officials to command the servants to arrange the son-in-law's mansion according to the etiquette system. At this time, Wang Jinghui saw how strict the princess should get married: which door the master entered and exited, the direction of tables and chairs, the dishes for guests to entertain... These are all irrelevant things in his eyes, and now they have been given new meanings, and no one can transcend them. Now he envied the experience of the guy who got married in time and space. The two cannot be compared at all.
After a series of drums and music, Wang Jinghui finally brought the bride to the lobby with a ribbon tied with a red flower. Amid the command of the host Ouyang Xiu, he worshiped the heaven and earth, and his parents (Han Qi). After the couple bowed each other, he brought the princess of Shu into the bridal chamber. Although he had never touched the princess' hand in the middle, his heart was always filled with happiness and sweetness. However, Wang Jinghui's sweet feeling did not last long and encountered the biggest challenge since he was so big: the groom toasted the guests.
Since the princess got married, the threshold for the prince-consort's mansion would be cut off in this day, because his adoptive father Han Qi is the most prestigious leader of the officials in the court. Today, those who can come to the wedding banquet today are probably officials of the fifth rank or above. With the members of the royal family headed by the three brothers of Yingwang Zhao Xu, the banquet was set up for sixty tables. Not to mention how big a project it would be toasting everyone, the most terrible thing is that the groom also needs to drink. Although most of the white wine in this era is more than ten degrees, it can't stand it. Especially, Yingwang Zhao Xu was knocked down by a glass of white wine by Wang Jinghui a few months ago. Today, he brought his two younger brothers to avenge him, which made Wang Jinghui miserable.
When Wang Jinghui was staggering and being helped down, a victory smile finally appeared on Wang Zhaoxu's face. After Wang Jinghui was helped to the backyard, he immediately walked straight to his bridal chamber as if he had changed. It turned out that he had to drink when he got married, but his alcohol tolerance was not up to standard. He was afraid that he would make a fool of himself, so he had to prepare in advance: Although his apprentice Hu Quanhan was not as good as his medical skills, he had the secret of sobering up.
Fang, this is why Wang Jinghui can walk soberly now, but what he didn't expect was that King Ying and Zhao Xu actually held such a grudge, brought a group of young royal family members to avenge him. He had no choice but to pretend to be drunk and follow him out. Otherwise, even if Hu Quanhan's secret recipe for slack wine, he might die very ugly. However, the biggest advantage of doing this is that he won't make young and brave guests such as Zhao Xu come to make trouble, which is also an unexpected gain.
However, when Wang Jinghui walked to the door of the bridal chamber, he found that several maids and nanny were waiting for him to arrive at the door, preparing to let the groom and nanny have a drink. After eating the four dried fruits and drinking the drink, the nanny led the maids to bless the newcomer and left. After lifting the red veil, Wang Jinghui finally saw the princess of Shu who was thinking day and night. The two of them had countless words in their hearts. But there was no way to start, they could only look at each other with deep affection, wanting to die, and swearing to die. They stayed together forever in this life...
After Wang Jinghui and the Shu princess kissed me. Every day he would go to the civilian clinic to see the patients and teach his students. Su Xun also lived in the clinic for more than half a year and was discharged from the hospital with the "will of Wang Jinghui" but Su Xun and his son took away four of his students. Su Xun wanted Li Shen's, but he was Wang Jinghui's "not selling products". Moreover, Su Shi was a representative of the Shu school's theory of winter and summer in history. In addition, his bad records of opening his mouth in history made Wang Jinghui dare not give his ace to Su Xun for training.
Wang Jinghui's "Twenty-One Disciples" was personally trained by Wang Jinghui for more than half a year, and his achievements were very satisfying to Wang Jinghui. Because when teaching them knowledge, he joined the three courses of medicine, theory of matter and number theory, the interests of these little disciples also began to significantly differentiate. For example, the four children taken away by Su Xun and his son were biased towards the study of classics and history books, and the twelve children were interested in the three courses of medicine, theory of matter and number theory. Wang Jinghui felt that it was time to start differentiating them, so he began targeted education and began the next round of learning.
During the past six months when Su Shi took care of Su Xun in the clinic, he had not discussed the concept of governing the country with Wang Jinghui. Now Su Shi has not experienced his father, Ding You, and on his way back to Biandu, he saw the harm brought by the implementation of Wang Anshi's reforms. He was still in the "Jing Step" in the era of Renzong. In the thought of "Jing Lun", his views on the current situation were still "radical". After Wang Jinghui understood the views held by Su Shi, he was also very regretful: This guy is not worried, and his ideas have not changed yet. Could it be that Su Xun must meet God and become a representative figure of Su Shi's cold and summer school? When he thought of this, he was very depressed and began to consider whether there was any problem with his decision to save Su Xun.
After marriage, a calm life gave Wang Jinghui more time to do other things. He asked Su Shi for his "Jin Plan" and "Jin Order" and other policy discussions. He took them back and studied them carefully, and then began to write policy discussions to influence Su Shi. When writing policy discussions for Su Shi, Wang Jinghui kept muttering: In addition to plagiarizing Su Shi's articles, he even wanted to take over the title of representatives of the winter and summer sects. This joke is a bit too big. Is this butterfly effect too terrible?
It happened that after Wang Jinghui got married with the Princess of Shu, the place where he lived was very close to the Prince Ying's Mansion. It was much more convenient for Wang Jinghui to come to the door. He almost treated Wang Jinghui's new residence as his backyard and often came here to sit here. Once, Zhao Xu came to the door and Wang Jinghui was still in the civilian clinic and did not come back. When he saw the Princess of Shu copying articles on the desk, he asked casually. The Princess of Shu said that it was written by Wang Jinghui to Su Shi. He was curious and took it to take a look. This loan was Liu Bei borrowed from Jingzhou, and there was a loan or no return.
The princess of Shu Kingdom is more like Wang Jinghui's secretary. After a period of time, Wang Jinghui's calligraphy was very good after training, especially during the exam preparation period, but it was far inferior to the calligraphy of his wife, so the work of sorting out and copying his various manuscripts was the princess of Shu Kingdom. After Zhao Xu saw the manuscripts of Wang Jinghui and Su Shi, he asked his sister for it. The princess of Shu Kingdom also knew that his father worked hard day and night for national affairs. Perhaps Wang Jinghui's strategy could give his father some advice, which was the best, so he took out the copy he had backed up to Zhao Xu.
The thing that Wang Jinghui influenced Su Shi was just a copy of Su Shi's argument for the cold and summer in history. However, after his reprocessing, it seemed more convincing. However, the long-term concept formed by a literati cannot be changed by one or two persuasive strategy theories, especially for literati like Su Shi. The reason why Su Shi formed the idea of the cold and summer theory was formed when he saw the people suffering from the new laws in various places after he was worried. Compared with the fact that Wang Jinghui's strategy theory was even more convincing.
