Chapter 616: Do things according to the rules

Kong San is the second son's steward, and he has an official position.

This official position is called the Chief Flag Officer of the Lin Temple Guard Division, and the actual position costs eight hundred taels, and the fictitious title is only three hundred taels.

The Lin Temple Guard Division is a serious yamen recognized by the imperial court, according to the rules of the Holy Father, the sons of the family have been practicing outside for a long time, and they have nothing to say, so they can donate the officials of the Guard Division.

Kong San conformed to this rule, so he donated a general flag officer a few years ago, but he had too much money for the actual position, so he only donated a fictitious position.

But even if it is a false position, it is enough for Kong San.

After all, the highest official position of the Lin Temple Guard Division is only a hundred households. According to the qualifications of this guard division, he is also in the top ten.

Born in a family, and he is the general banner of the Guard Division, since he followed the second son to Teng County, Kong San has really been too addicted to officials and has played a full prestige.

The second son also values him very much, he is asked to do big and small things, with the banner of the Holy Prince's Mansion, and the support of the second son, it is difficult for Kong San not to walk sideways in Teng County.

No, in the past three years, the concubines have begged for three, and there are a few who are good, as for asking him to break the melon, he can't even figure it out.

However, Kong San did not take advantage of the people in vain, and he always gave them some benefits. For example, reduce some gonna, a small amount of land, or save your children from entering the house as companions, in short, he does not play with other people's daughters in vain.

In a word, in the past three years in Teng County, Kong San has lived a fulfilling life, and his future is also bright.

He is following the right person, and now there is no queen of the Holy Father, and the successor of the Holy Father in the future will have to be the nephews of each house.

And the second son has been loved by the Holy Father since he was born, and he loves to ask the second son to ask the right questions and take the entrance examination. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Holy Father is preparing to pass on the throne to the second son.

And once the second prince succeeds to the throne, as a close confidant of the second son, Kong San will definitely rise on his side.

At that time, it will not be the general banner of the Lin Temple Guard Division, and the actual Baihu Kong San will not be in his eyes. According to the rules of the Holy Prince's Mansion, he Kong San had to be the deacon of the Holy Prince's Mansion.

However, in the past few days, Kong San has been in a state of sadness.

The second son was also very sad.

The reason is that Chen's mother, who raised her second son since childhood, unfortunately passed away. The second son is a person who values love and righteousness, and after Chen's mother died, he was sad and didn't eat for two days, and he has been depressed since then.

The second son was sad, and Kong San was naturally sad.

Regarding Chen's mother's funeral, the second son's personal instructions were told to be done according to the rules of the Shenggong Mansion, and the tenants and temple households of the Confucian family in Teng County were ordered to donate.

In addition, the second son specially emphasized that within 100 days of Teng County, no one is allowed to marry, hold banquets, or listen to plays. Violators, no matter who you are, will be locked up and questioned.

This is the proper righteousness, the second son is so sad, how can you people be happy.

Kong San faithfully carried out the order of the second son, in addition to personally supervising the tribute of tenants and temple households these days, he also took the family soldiers to inspect from time to time.

Even if there were residents on the street who laughed, as long as they called him to see the soldiers of the Kong family, they were also arrested and beaten, and then asked the family to take the money to ransom him.

Tengxian County officials turned a blind eye to this, and no one dared to say that the Kong family had gone too far. The county zun was in the yamen, and he also gave up drinking, and he didn't dare to sleep with the concubine, for fear of asking the Kong family to come to the door.

It's really helpless, it's hard to be an official around the Holy Prince's Mansion.

The county master is like this, and others are even more trembling and dare not say more.

Recently, the merchants who have passed through Teng County have been unlucky, as long as they dock at the wharf in Teng County, regardless of whether you are unloading the goods, the people of the Kong family will come up to collect your money.

If anyone refuses to give it, soldiers will immediately come over.

Who dares to offend the officials who do business, and this Confucian family is still the head of a hundred officials.

Even if there are people behind their own houses, the background is very deep, and the merchants are honest and pay the money.

It is better to have more than one thing to do less, because of the refusal to pay the money to make the matter bigger, and if it is spread out, it will be the Lord behind the family who offends the descendants of the saints.

This hat is buttoned down, who can eat it, I'm afraid the emperor can't bear it.

No, the Eunuch Wei who stopped at the wharf of Jialou Town, didn't he also honestly ask someone to hand over the money.

There are still soldiers under the eunuch, so they are all afraid of the Kong family, and other people's families are even more rested.

Fight with the sky and the earth, but you can't fight with the Holy Mansion.

………..

Being able to get the passing eunuch to hand over the money is something that Kong San is proud of.

The prestige of the Holy Father's Mansion is so loud.

After the second son heard about it, he also praised Kong San, and he was quite proud in his words.

Only when everyone is like this can the prestige of the Holy Father's Mansion be passed on from generation to generation.

Ming'er was the day of Chen's mother's funeral, the weather was hot, and the second son was afraid that his mother's body would decompose, so he deliberately asked people to bring up the ice in the ice cellar to make the mourning hall extremely cool.

This is really a lot of thought, and it is also extremely filial.

When the news came home, the Holy Father praised this nephew for his filial piety.

Let's ask, he can be sincere and filial to a nursing mother, but what about his own uncle.

The funeral was all properly arranged, and there was nothing to do. Today, the sun is more poisonous, and Kong San is afraid of the sun, so he didn't go to the city to inspect and catch the blind ones, but moved a chair to sit under the locust tree by the gate.

At the door, there was a long queue of tenants and tribute households from four miles and eight towns to pay donations, which was two or three miles away.

The line had been lined up since the morning, and until now, it has not shortened, because there are still people outside the city who are rushing here one after another.

The people who came were all dressed in linen and filial piety, or handed over things, or paid money, and after finishing the work, they had to go in turn to kowtow to Chen's mother's coffin.

In the crowd, there are many people in their seventies and eighties, who can't walk by themselves, and they have to ask their children and grandchildren to help them.

There is no way, the order of the Kong family is not something they can disobey.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, and when Chen's mother is buried tomorrow, it is estimated that it will be almost the same.

Kong San calculated the accounts, and after this set, the income of the government will not be less than 30,000 taels, but the expenses are not much. This does not include the filial piety of the large families of the local gentry.

In short, Chen's mother's death not only made the second son's filial piety famous, but also made the second son earn a lot of money. At the end of the year, the Holy Father will definitely be able to smile.

was fanning it with a fan, but from a distance, it seemed that there were people in the team who were clamoring for something.

Kong San slapped the fan on his leg and belly, and ordered left and right: "Go and see, what's the trouble?" ”

A few of the housekeepers hurriedly sighed and trotted over to investigate.

After a while, someone came back and shouted: "Third master, I came to help the cunning household, but I refused to pay it." ”

Kong Sanyi listened to it and was happy, this gang of cunning households was really bold and dared to make trouble at the gate of the Kong family.

threw the pu fan casually, patted his neck, and scolded: "Do things according to the rules." ”
