Chapter 146 Bao Zheng's Heart

A month is fleeting. Just a few days after Yun Zhe was sent to various places, the visors next to the king returned to Bianjing one after another. This speed was not slower than sending a notice, and it also saved a lot of people. In the middle few days, Wang was busy visiting his elders and colleagues. In the last few days, the court asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare. The congratulatory gift was also ready, and the escort was also sent. In addition, the official documents informed the states, cities and counties to be responsible for the safety of the congratulatory escort, and now they are waiting for the king to lead the team to set out,

What worried Wang's most was the body of his adoptive father Bao Zheng. He had been sick intermittently for more than half a year. Fortunately, in the past few days, Bao Zheng felt much better. He thought that Wang was leaving Bianjing again. Today, he happened to have nothing to do. In the past, he often changed into casual clothes and went out for a walk. Now he is much more lazy. He called the old housekeeper. "Brother, we haven't gone out for a few days." Bao Zheng has a deep friendship with the old housekeeper in private,

Bao Zheng and the housekeeper are now nearly sixty or seventy years old. They strolled along the street to Meyer's house. Bao Zheng looked at the plaque above and asked Bao Xing, "It's here. Look, who can have a strange name except the boy next to the king."

Bao Xing smiled. The two helped each other to the foundation in front of the gate of Meyer's mansion. The gate of Meyer's mansion was open, and there were two family members standing at the door. They were talking and laughing. Jia Dingjia saw Bao Zheng and greeted them with a smile: "These two old gentlemen, my son is discussing in the hall now. I'll take you. You two go to the lobby to rest and wait first.

As he said, he was about to lead the way. Bao Zheng thought it was interesting. Although Wang was also a fourth-grade official, there was no strict guard at the door of the door of the house like other officials' houses, and it was easy to go in and out. He smiled and asked Ding Jia in the porch, "If I hadn't come to see the prince."

The family still smiled and said happily: "Master, you see that the prince has been in the capital these days, and I have come to see the prince. I have said it by the way. If you want to find several other siding masters, I will also take you to the hall later. When the prince has finished discussing with those masters, I will invite you to see you."

Bao Zheng and Bao Xing looked at each other and showed an expression of appreciation. Most of the subordinates in the house can see the owner's behavior. Some people in the house want to see a master like a road tiger, and most of them are also condoned by the owner of the house.

Now Wang is discussing the matter, and he is not in a hurry. Bao Zheng then asked the Ding, "If I don't want to see anyone, I want to walk around the house." Bao Xing laughed secretly. Bao Zheng was in a good interest.

The family was stunned. The old man was a little interesting, but the prince usually has an explanation and gives three points to everyone. Besides, it's not that there are no people who come to Meyer's house to see how Meyer's house is managed. It's just that he's not so old. He still smiled and said, "If you want to walk around the house, I won't accompany you. You turned around. You see that the front courtyard is the place where the house does business. The east and west cross courtyards are our Jinxiang Mansion and Yunxuan Tea House to treat guests, and the hall is where we treat guests. There is a corner door over there. Have you seen it? It used to be the garden on the house. You two can sit in the garden. The princes discuss things in the back hall. As for The cross-hospital of the garden, and further back is the place where the prince and his subordinates live, so it is not convenient for you two to go.

After Jia Ding Jia's introduction, Bao Zheng laughed. The boy next to Wang really had a way. He said, "Brother, then let's hang out." Bao Xing shook his head while laughing. It's rare that Bao Zheng was in a good interest today. The two walked in front of them. Ding Jia at the door turned his head and looked at Jia Ding Yi and said, "Are you stupid? You open your mouth and don't say a word for me."

Ding Yi now recovered and said, "Oh, you don't know. You talk a lot. I would have asked you to call you a prince a long time ago."

Jia Ding Jia asked inexplicably, "What's wrong?"

Jia Ding Yi pointed to Bao Zheng's back and said, "Do you know who this is? This is the imperial historian in charge of Kaifeng Mansion, our son's adoptive father, Prime Minister Bao"

Jia Ding Jia pointed to Jia Ding Yi angrily and said, "You, you, if you don't say it earlier, you say go, you go." He turned around to chase him. Ding Yi grabbed him and said, "You're stupid. Prime Minister Bao didn't say he wanted to walk by himself. Do you dare to interrupt the discussion?"

Discussion between the two of them, Bao Zheng and Bao Xing had entered the house and saw that people everywhere were busy. It seemed that it was common for strangers in the house, and no one asked them more. The two came to the house garden. The garden was not very big, but the layout was exquisite. Hearing someone talking in the hall of the garden, they approached Bao Zheng and heard it. It's the voice next to the king,

He looked through the window. Although these people were all around the table, the long table was made up of several square tables. The king sat in the first place and arranged it there: "Thank you for your hard work." It's not a coincidence that Bao Zheng came here. Wang Biao just told the shopkeeper He to go to Xixia to supervise the salt farm and the pharmaceutical factory. This is the best thing that Bao Zheng doesn't know.

"Wu Ling supervised the production of lime; Lu Shenyan supervised the tea farms in Yanzhou and Lanzhou on the border of the Xia and Song Dynasties; Cai Jing was responsible for the tea farm in the capital; the two years of the Chinese New Year, the coal farm was cooked. In addition, Yin Shijie was more worried about Jinxiangfu, and the use of coal in the capital was taken over first; the transportation was handed over to Jiao Deyou, as for Jin Xiulou or Cui Fu's shopkeeper should take more care of it... What other questions do you have?"

It's very interesting for Bao Zheng to look sideways. He couldn't do eavesdropping and turned around to leave. He heard a muffled voice in the room and asked in a somewhat difficult tone: "The lime produced before has been used for the expansion of Jincheng as the prince said. The surrounding prefectures and counties have come to grab this stone. Ash, who can't give it to whom."

"I don't give it either." Wang said firmly. After saying that, he looked at Lu Shenyan and said, "Since you are in business, you will visit the magistrate when you go to Yanzhou. We use it to expand the city in Jincheng. It's just a trial. After verification, I will transport the lime to the border and strengthen the city on the border."

This boy is really loyal to the court. When Bao Zheng heard this, he praised him in his heart. Just as he was about to praise the king to Bao Xing, he heard the king continue to say, "These infrastructure buildings are paid by the court. If we want to make money, we have to make a lot of money."

Hey, this boy wants to make money from the court every day. I have to educate him. Just wanted to enter the house to make money, I heard Wang say, "However, no matter what you do, you remember our signboard, especially this lime must ensure the quality. Don't make the black-hearted project of tofu dregs. If something goes wrong, you can It's a matter of human life.

Wang has a conscience. After listening to it, Bao Zheng turned around and wanted to leave. Bao Xing looked at him and turned around, but he didn't know that he wanted to leave. After a while, he turned back and forth two or three times, and even Bao Zheng himself was dizzy.

He was hesitating. When he saw a man coming in front of him, he saluted respectfully: "I have seen Prime Minister Bao in He Libo. How can you get to the house?"

Bao Zheng has always been generous in doing things. He didn't mean to listen to it. Besides, listening to his son's discussion is not a taboo thing. He said with a smile, "I have never been to another house. I miss my child today, so let's take a look at He Libao, where are you from, and why don't you discuss it in it."

He Libao was recommended by Di Qing to do errands in Kaifeng Mansion for a few days. Bao Zheng also had a good impression of He Libao. He knew that he was Wang's right-hand man. It was naturally strange to see He Libao coming back from the outside.

"Oh, I'm going out with you this time. I just went to see and prepare something I need on the road..."

Next to the king in the hall, he seemed to hear someone talking outside, as if he had mentioned Prime Minister Bao. Cai Jing stood up and looked at him: "Sir, your godfather, Prime Minister Bao, came to the house in person."

Wang Zong quickly came out of the hall, and everyone followed behind him. Wang Zong was particularly happy to see Bao Zheng coming. Unexpectedly, his adoptive father came to see him in person. He took everyone to salute Bao Zheng in a hurry. Prime Minister Bao looked at Wang with a smile and said that the boy was a little weathered, followed by seven or eight people, men and women. The old and the young were shrewd and strong. He greeted the crowd with a smile: "You guys do your work first, and I'll walk everywhere."

When Wang saw that the big event had just been discussed, he accompanied Bao Zheng to visit the house in person. The father and son talked and laughed. After a while, Lord Bao looked around the whole house.

Bao Zheng saw that the front yard of the king's house was busy with business, but he could see that it was in order. The second time, there was quiet in the courtyard, and there was a study in which four or five children of the same age were reading. Bao Zheng pointed to a round head, hugged the book and asked with a smile, "Well, it must be your adopted son's child. Xiao." .

Wang side replied with a smile, "Yes, you can see that the one over there is He Xingyuan's son He Zhu, and the rest are the children of the ladies in the house."

Bao Zheng understood why everyone in the house did his best. Now he was more relieved about his son. "Son the other side, I'm here today to tell you that it's not a big deal to go to Liao to celebrate your birthday. You have to go early and come back early."

Wang pang ting said with such a hug. Did the godfather already know about He Libao, but it didn't feel like it? If Bao Zheng knew, he would definitely not write to He Libao and just ask himself to go back.

"The child is respectful to follow the teachings of his adoptive father. I know that his adoptive father has also sent Liao. Is it because his adoptive father said that the Hu people have a deep grudge against the Han people, and they are afraid that my trip will not be safe."

Bao Zheng looked at Wang: The child was shrewd and strong, and he always felt that Wang was different from ordinary people: "My son is too nosy. Now I heard that Yelu Hongji of Liao ignored the government, and the officials and the people in the court complained. I'm afraid that if you go there, you will be like in Xixia and take care of injustice, even more. "

Wang listened to this and understood that the situation of the Liao Dynasty mentioned by He Li Bo's letter was true, but is it true that Yelu Chongyuan wanted to rebel?

Bao Zheng looked around again. He felt something was wrong when he entered the house. Now he finally understood. He asked like a king, "Who is the chief housekeeper in your house?"

The king ordered someone to call Lu Shenyan. Bao Zheng said to Lu Shenyan, "You follow Bao Xing to my house and ask your wife to pay a thousand taels of silver. Go quickly. I said it's so awkward to enter. This house is too small."
