Chapter 1110: Refining the Heart
The snow was flying outside the carriage, and Cao Hao was humbly asking for advice in the carriage.
Master Song, with a thick name and a fixed mountain, was hired to go out of the mountain, and when he saw Cao Hao inquiring, he did not hide his selfishness: "The governor of the world, the pastoral side, has many military merits." The governor of Sichuan, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, the northwest frontier, has the responsibility to prevent crimes; The governor of Huguang and the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou wanted to suppress Zhu Miao and Zhu Yi; The governors of Fujian and Zhejiang and Liangjiang should appease the abandoned people and prohibit water bandits and pirates from causing chaos. Only the governor of Zhili, who guards Gyeonggi, is mainly stable. ”
Cao Hao nodded while listening, agreeing with Song Hou's words.
The Governor of Zhili, it sounds good, the Governor is directly under the military and government, but there are soldiers of the Eight Banners in Zhili, these people are all under the rule of the Eight Banners, and it is not Cao Hao's turn to intervene.
The only thing Cao Hao can manage is the green camp.
In the local green battalions, it is necessary to suppress bandits and prevent the local people from causing chaos, and there is no shortage of opportunities for military training.
Zhili is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs for a hundred years, how many times has Zhili been combed. In this era when more than 30 Han people gather and can be killed for rebellion, it is not easy to find a bandit in Zhili.
Xu is precisely because of this that the green camp of Zhili is the most corrupt.
"According to Mr., how should I fight the soldiers?" Cao Hao asked the doubts in his heart.
It stands to reason that his father-in-law, Prince Chun, brother-in-law, Prince Ping, and his best friend Wanyan Yongqing have all been on the battlefield, and they can't tell everything about things in the army, but they can solve Cao Hao's doubts.
Cao Hao knew that it was not appropriate to pull them in, so he endured it until now before he opened his mouth to ask.
"The emperor initially ordered the lord to move to the governor's position, not for military training, but for the matter of the North River, and the expectation was that the lord would enrich the local treasury. Then an additional training article was added, and it was not expected to be so. After all, the adult has not been involved in the army before, and the emperor will not think that the adult will become a general and a commander. Song Hou touched his beard and said slowly.
Cao Hao listened, only to feel that the fog in his heart dissipated, and he gradually became clearer.
"Thank you sir for your advice!" Cao Hao bowed down and thanked him very sincerely.
In the past two days, his heart was in a mess, he felt full of ambition for a while, and he felt bottomless for a while.
Just because he is in the game, he is blind.
Now that he was pointed out by bystanders, he hesitated in his heart, and he calmed down.
Seeing his face, Song Hou and Feng Chuan looked at each other and smiled, and then looked at Cao Hao together.
The two looked at Cao Hao's eyes, although they were not malicious, but they both inquired.
In this little place in the carriage, being stared at like this by two old men with white hair, Rao is Cao Hao has always been calm, and he couldn't sit still, looking at the two of them and saying, "Two gentlemen, do you still have the words to teach Cao?" ”
Song Hou didn't speak, Feng Chuan said with a smile: "It's this old thing who is worried about the name of the adult's 'good wealth boy', and I wonder if the adult has a way to enrich the people." Don't forget, my lord, this time it is not only the governor's office, but also the governor's office. ”
Mentioning this, Cao Hao was also a little excited.
Since he received the will to go out, he has been planning this matter in his study every night.
To dredge the North River, the key is two points, silver money and civil service.
If the "apportionment into the mu" is carried out, there will be no shortage of civil service, and some money will be earned.
However, he could not put all his hopes on the New Deal, taking history as a mirror, and the implementation of the New Deal in the past has been full of obstacles, and it is difficult to find success overnight.
Cao Hao thought for a while and said: "In order to pay taxes for the strong Zhili, Cao has a few superficial plans, which are nothing more than rich peasants, building industry, and attracting business......
In the carriage, Cao Hao told the plan in his heart little by little; Outside the carriage, the snow is getting heavier...... * Beijing, Caojia, Dongfu, and West Cross Courtyard.
"Look at this raging snow, your uncle and they are afraid that they will be delayed on the road." Cao Xiang touched the teacup, looked out through the glass window.
Sun Li looked at him with a look of shame on his face: "The nephew comes out early, so he can see off the eldest uncle." ”
The three brothers of Cao Song in Dongfu all went out of the city this morning to send their cousins.
Subsequently, Cao Song and Cao Fu were on duty, and Sun Li, who came one step late, ran into Cao Xiang who was at home.
Cao Xiang glanced at Sun Li and said, "You have already come with your grandfather to practice for your uncle, but now it is nothing even if you don't catch up." ”
Cao Ying asked for an errand for her husband and was rejected, Cao Xiang already knew.
For this reason, before Li's birthday, Cao Ying did not get sick, and only Sun Li's brothers and sisters came with their grandfather.
Cao Xiang wanted to persuade his nephew not to complain about his uncle's family because of this matter, but thinking about the reason for the incompatibility, he swallowed the words again and talked about the internal affairs of the Hanlin Academy.
Sun Li passed the Shu Jishi examination and was about to enter the Hanlin Academy on the fifth day of the first month.
Sun Li listened carefully, his expression was respectful, and he didn't seem to be fake.
Seeing this, Cao Xiang couldn't help but be stunned.
If he hadn't entered Hanlin and was from the official position of the fourth grade, would his nephew still be so respectful?
Because he is a concubine, he is not close to the eldest sister who has already been married.
Sun Li saw that he was silent, and when he was tired, he got up and said: "Is it my nephew, the fourth uncle got up early to see him off, and he was tired when he wanted to come, so he should rest first, and his nephew will go back." ”
Cao Xiang saw that he had a handsome face and clear eyes, but his heart was soft, and he said, "Since you are here, you don't have to rush back." Your grandmother asked for peace, and you went over to Xifu to say goodbye. The old lady has sheltered you a lot, and you have a lot of mothers and children, and you should remember to be grateful to the younger generations. ”
Sun Li listened, did not answer, but slowly lowered his head.
Cao Xiang was afraid that he wouldn't be able to think about it, so he said: "Although it is said that for the sake of His Holiness, I shouldn't say anything about your mother in front of you, but you are also getting older, so you should know right from wrong." Don't follow your parents because they are confused. Your uncle does not lack a nephew, and your future career is inseparable from your uncle's care. ”
Sun Li's face turned red and said in a low voice: "The nephew is not disrespectful to the elders, but he is ashamed and uneasy, so he hesitates to ......."
Cao Xiang smiled: "Who can anger you?" Just as lunch time is approaching, I'll go with you. Your uncle has just left, and the old lady is afraid that she is feeling lonely, so let's go and join in the fun. ”
Tong Chunhua gave two orders, and Cao Xiang and Sun Li's uncle and nephew walked to Xifu in the snow.
Seeing Sun Li, Li looked stunned, showed worry, called him closer, and said, "But what's wrong with your mother?" Did you ask a doctor, or is there any deficiency in the medicinal materials? ”
She didn't know that Cao Ying's "illness" was just an excuse, so she had prepared a pack of ginseng and asked Sun Li to bring it back to Cao Ying.
Seeing him coming over today, Cao Ying was seriously ill, which made her worried.
When Sun Li heard this, he became more and more ashamed, and reluctantly smiled: "Mother has gradually improved, it is Sun Er who wants his uncle to go out of Beijing and come to see him off, but he is a step late." ”
When Li heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and beckoned Cao Xiang and Sun Li to sit down in front of him.
"There are a lot of people before, it's not good to ask, I heard that your grandfather gave you a marriage, which girl do you want to meet, but there is a letter?" Lee asked.
Sun Li was not embarrassed as an ordinary teenager when he heard about his family, and even replied calmly: "It's the granddaughter of the head of the Internal Affairs Office, but I just heard my grandfather mention it once, and I haven't seen each other yet." ”
Li Shi listened and frowned slightly.
It's not that the Dong family is bad, with the current situation of the Sun family, marrying the Dong family can be regarded as a high climb. But if it is Dong Dianbang's granddaughter, it is Su Xin's sister or cousin, and the generation is not right.
Although the marriage of the banner people has always only talked about age, not generation, the Sun family, like the Cao family, practices the Han family etiquette.
However, she was afraid that Sun Li would be uncomfortable, so she quickly loosened her brows and said, "Marrying a wife is a big deal, the family is nothing, and the girl is the best." Your grandfather has carefully chosen this for a long time, and it must be good. ”
When Cao Xiang heard about this for the first time, he also frowned.
He was not thinking about the issue of seniority, but about Sun Li's future.
The Sun family and the Dong family are both families of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and marrying can strengthen the exchanges between the two families, but it will not help Sun Li's future much.
Seventeen-year-old Ji Jishi, the future is in the court, and it will never be in the internal affairs office.
Even if you are burdened by your father and ancestors and can't marry nobles, it is not difficult to find a noble family in the Hanlin Courtyard to marry...... After having lunch at Li's place, Sun Li did not stay long, and then left.
Since Cao Ying returned to Cao's mansion and was rejected, her relationship with her mother-in-law An became bad.
An hated the snobbery of the Cao family, refused to mention his young son, and was even more disgusted with his eldest daughter-in-law surnamed Cao.
Sun Jue has returned from outside the city, but he has quit drug addiction, and in addition to his appetite, he is to drag his maid and concubine to fool around in the room.
Now every time he is talked about by his mother, he also has a headache, and he listens honestly at first, but he can't stand it and hides early.
When Sun Li went home and went to his small courtyard, he noticed that something was wrong.
This courtyard was originally prepared for him to study, and there were only two little maids of thirteen and fourteen to serve.
When he came back, someone had already greeted him, but today he said that there was no movement.
Sun Li picked up the curtain and felt his body stiffen.
There was a "whine" sound and wheezing in the room.
Sun Li's heart sank suddenly, his hands tightened, tore down the cotton curtain, and pushed the door in.
He didn't stop, he took three steps and two steps to the inner bedroom, and looked coldly at the kang.
On the kang, there was a man with his back to the door, taking off his pants, and pressing on Sun Li's maid Wen'er, before entering the alley.
Wen'er's face was full of panic, and she struggled hard, and when she saw Sun Li at the door, she cried and wailed: "Young Master, help!" ”
Without the man looking back, Sun Li recognized that he was not someone else, but his father.
Sun Jue heard the movement, looked back and saw his son, the embarrassment in his eyes flashed, and the rest was the shame of being knocked out.
He lifted his pants, snorted coldly, glanced at Wen'er who was crying with his clothes, and didn't look at Sun Li, pulled his shoes and went to the ground, and said: "There is a shortage of people waiting around me, this maid is good, just follow me!" ”
Sun Li glanced at him coldly, hid the disgust in his heart, and replied, "I'm afraid I can't follow my father's wishes, Wen'er...... It's the son's roomman......"
This kung fu, Sun Jue has already sorted out his clothes, and his face is holding Yan's father's score.
Hearing his son's refusal, he was even more annoyed, and waited for Sun Li to say: "Bastard, is the hair grown, just grab a woman with Lao Tzu?" What a hanging thing......"
