Chapter 86                                                                                                                             �

In fact, Xu Jie thought about this matter for a long time, how could Xu Jie not be greedy for power at all? The reason for this is that he mainly considers these points. The first point is that he has to admit one thing, that is, he seems to be unable to understand the ideas of young people now.

This young man was not Zhou Mengchen. Instead, a large group of reformists were led by Zhou Mengchen.

The Longwan government in history was dominated by these people, and Zhang Juzheng was their representative. It can even be said that without Zhang Juzheng, Gao Gong, and without Gao Gong, there would be others. There would always be such a person.

The emergence of every great historical figure is not only his own talent, but also historical necessity.

There are some differences here, because Zhou Mengchen publicly stated his political ideals a long time ago. Moreover, every time Zhou Mengchen arrives, he never follows the old system to solve problems, and has good results.

In this way, Zhou Mengchen replaced Zhang Juzheng and became the leader of these reformists. At the same time, Zhou Mengchen's successful experience also encouraged many others to follow him.

The momentum is much greater than in history.

Xu Jie also had this feeling before. But it didn't feel deep. But after the newspaper came out, Xu Jie deeply felt this trend of thought.

After all, Xu Jie's way of interfering with the public opinion of the scholars and the Lins was not to persuade everyone himself, but to contact some respected and influential gentry and famous scholars. If they were to use their influence, they could deal with a large number of people.

As for the Shilin, apart from the famous scholars, there is no say.

Or in other words, their voice was held by these famous scholars and officials.

Now that there are newspapers, these famous scholars and officials are all old people. This is also a Chinese characteristic. After all, most authoritative ones are all old people. They may not understand this new thing more. Those who truly embrace newspapers are the younger generation. Of course, this kind of youth refers more to political things, rather than real young people. Or they should be called young people.

Xu Jie suddenly realized that there were so many people who wanted to reform the law, including his own disciple, Zhang Juzheng.

Xu Jie said he was cautious and said he was a little timid. He would never take the blame for the world. Seeing that the young and strong people thought so, he refused to ask him to cooperate with these young people. But he asked him to suppress them, and took action, and killed all this person.

Xu Jie has this ability, but he doesn't have this idea.

He knew Yan Song's predicament at that time. If Yan Song had been ten years younger, he would never have ended up in such a bleak situation even if Yan Shifan was like this. Xu Jie was 60 years old this year. Although he was not old in politics, he would have the day he would have been old after all.

He wants to take care of his reputation behind him.

After such a confusion, Xu Jie calculated a hexagram for himself, and the result was a hexagram. Judging from the hexagram, Qian and Xun at the top are the signs of yang and Yin being born. The hexagram is: Women are strong, don’t use them to choose women. It means that this woman is strong and strong, and cannot be married to be a wife.

In Xu Jie's opinion, the explanation of this hexagram is that it is impossible for him to make Zhou Mengchen surrender. Even if Zhou Mengchen surrenders, both sides will not last long. There will be a victory or defeat.

Husband and wife are also the host and the guest. It can be said that the husband is the same as the wife.

Generally speaking, this hexagram means that a person's peak period has passed and is already on a downward trend. Therefore, the yang is gone and the yin is born. At this time, you must cheer up and rise again, otherwise it will not last long.

Xu Jie didn't believe in the way of ghosts and gods very much. But this hexagram said that he was in his heart.

In this way, Xu Jie decided to retreat bravely.

But retreating also requires how to retreat.

Xu Jie had to arrange his own life and even his descendants for the rest of his life. What he wanted naturally had to get from Zhou Mengchen.

Xu Jie said: "Why do I think it doesn't matter? Just think I'm impulsive. Now you can choose to impeach Yuan Wei, so let's see the truth from the court. If you choose another one, it depends on your sincerity."

Zhou Mengchen still needs to choose?

There is no need to choose at all. He actually doesn't want to fight against Xu Jie, as he is too cunning. Zhou Mengchen is willing to take advantage of Xu Jie in political battles. He feels that he has some tricks, but his tricks are not enough to see in front of Xu Jie.

If Xu Jie is willing to withdraw, this is a good thing that Zhou Mengchen would not even think about.

Zhou Mengchen said: "What promises do the chief minister want and what guarantees do they have."

Xu Jie said: "I am not without offending people when I am in the position of Chief Supervisor. You have to make sure that no matter what happens, I will not be able to turn over my old accounts. If someone wants to investigate the Xu family, you have to take responsibility."

Zhou Mengchen was silent for a while and said, "Mr. Xu, I can agree at once. I will say something else at that time. So today I will explain to Mr. Xu that I will take care of everything in office, no matter what. If anyone wants to overturn the case, I will press it down, but this only represents Mr. Xu, not the Xu family."

Xu Jie's face suddenly looked a little ugly. He said, "The misfortune of the house made Fei Xiong laugh. After I go back, I will definitely clean up the door. If I take the initiative to rectify the house, can Fei Xiong be proud?"

Xu Jie has heard of Xu Pan's various behaviors in Songjiang. But after all, he was his young master, so it was useless to send someone to scold him.

Zhou Mengchen said: "Mr. Songjiang, Hai Rui, agreed, I agree."

Xu Jie said, "That's good." Xu Jie didn't know how sad Hai Rui was at this level, and Xu Pan couldn't pass without peeling off his skin. He thought that even if he was not in the position of the prime minister, he would raise his hand.

Zhou Mengchen asked: "What kind of guarantee does the chief minister need?"

Xu Jie sighed and said, "It's also because of the burden of my family. I know that what my gangster did. It's all for money. I don't care. Now I have to make a living for my descendants. I have heard that Feixiong is a magical hand in gold. Can you give me some advice?"

Zhou Mengchen breathed a sigh of relief.

Isn't it just for money? It's still relatively simple.

Zhou Mengchen pondered for a moment and said, "Now Jiangnan, the wealth and wealth are all in the sea trade. If you want to make a living, you still want to ask for it. However, the Xu family is not good at managing the sea. I have a way, which requires a lot of energy, but if I can really succeed, I may not be able to be rich in the future."

Xu Jie said, "Want to hear it carefully?"

Zhou Mengchen said: "Sugar. Today, the bulk goods of the imperial court are connected to the West, tea, salt, iron, porcelain, silk, and medicinal materials. In my opinion, sugar has the greatest potential. Although sugar is produced in Guangdong and Fujian, there are not many sugars and are not good at taste. Taiwan is humid, hot and rainy, which is most suitable for sugarcane production. Now there are wastelands and guards of the East China Sea Guard. The land is vast and sparsely populated. If the Ge Lao can move thousands of people to open up the land and plant sugarcane, and then boil it into sugar. It is simply a huge profit to sell it overseas directly."

What Zhou Mengchen said is a real business opportunity. Taiwan’s Zheng’s sugar industry is the main source of fiscal revenue. However, many things are like this. It’s just how to make money, but making money also requires capital.

Planting sugarcane in Taiwan is of little use, but it is not affordable for ordinary people to play with when it is too big. The Xu family is one of the big families that can be afforded. Objectively speaking, Xu Pan also has a certain management ability. Under the leadership of Xu Pan, the Xu family made money. In fact, it is not only on the land, but also on business, relying on the Xu family's political status, to engage in some monopoly on the market.

Zhou Mengchen also hopes that the Xu family can set an example and allow the Jiangnan family to start to explore overseas. When they are economically inseparable from overseas, how can they not support Zhou Mengchen's policy of returning to the ocean in politics?

Xu Jie did not ask in detail and said, "After I return home, I will still beg Feixiong to send someone to give me some advice."

Zhou Mengchen said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." He couldn't help asking, "Gei, do you just trust me so much?"

Xu Jie laughed and said, "I don't believe in you. Today's affairs are between you and me, but there is no airtight wall in the world, and it will be known to outsiders sooner or later. In addition, if I don't believe in you, I must trust my uncle."
