Chapter 228: The Great Mean (I)
I didn't throw it on anyone, and I saw a few women, all of whom fell to the side. But when the big stick fell, it still made a frightening sound.
Cui Xian didn't know, she was frightened, and asked weakly: "May I ask if this is Xinzhizhou's home?" ”
It's hard for others to say, what the petty official in his own family knows is a person with a gentle surname, and he won't be so fierce, could it be that the people next door are pointing to the wrong place?
Zheng Lang has come out.
Cui Xian was angry and said, "Official, is this how you greeted me?" ”
Zheng Lang was happy and said, "Forgiveness is one." Then he looked behind her, in addition to Huan'er, there were five weaver girls, all of whom were brought from Zhengjiazhuang, and they all knew each other. In addition, there are two servants of the Cui family, as well as some luggage, and a few spinning wheels. And he said, "Why are you here now?" ”
It's too early to keep filial piety for a year.
"Go in and say."
There are already people watching, Cui Xian is still wearing filial piety clothes, but she can't cover her national color and fragrance, and some people are surprised: "The little lady of the champion is so beautiful." ”
"That's, can the little lady of the champion not be beautiful?"
Third Uncle Lu also gave a salute, he was not an ordinary servant, and it was impossible for Zheng Lang to treat him as an ordinary servant, and he became the big housekeeper of this business. Therefore, it can be seen clearly that Zheng Lang's cultivation of several students made him grind his teeth, not hateful, but speechless. Teach to ask, teach to do things, and teach ...... To govern the country and the people, he has cultivated not a few prime ministers, but several virtuous ministers through the ages. In the letter to Lu Yijian, Lu Sanshu said this implicitly.
If San Langjun continues to cultivate like this, it is amazing, and it is possible that he will be better than you in the future, and he will be on a par with Da Lu Xianggong (Lu Mengzheng).
I can't see what this letter will make Lu Yijian and his wife happy, but Third Uncle Lu knows in his heart that there may be more than four prime ministers in this family, and how much the Yan family's kid can make depends on his efforts in the future.
A four-phase public, and it may all be a generation of famous ministers, and if you change your own Lu Xianggong, you have to respect it.
After finishing the salute, he glanced at Cui Xian, dressed in filial piety clothes and braided a three-inch-high shell bun, that is, a young woman's bun. can be compiled, although something happened on the night of the cave room, people completed the wedding ceremony. It's just that the bun is a little shorter. He didn't know the reason, it was Zheng Lang who inadvertently said to her that he didn't like those tall shell heads, so he made them short.
Thin lips, a pair of delicate and delicate Danfeng eyes, a slender figure, a very standard beauty. said in my heart, no wonder there have been so many turmoil, and I should be cautious if I have such a daughter.
Jiang Xing'er and Si'er also came over to salute and let Cui Xian help her up.
Xiang Gong liked them, gave in, and spoke to the two girls in a gentle tone. After the politeness was over, sitting down, Cui Xian asked again: "Why do you want to beat the concubine?" ”
And then the strange flying eye.
"I'm not going to hit you," Zheng Lang briefly recounted what had happened.
"That's easy, you take over."
"Take over now?"
"Yes, although the case happened before you took over, the court system does not allow you to take over the case of your predecessor. Why can't you take over? Cui Xian said. In terms of wisdom and experience, she is not as good as Zheng Lang, no matter how smart she is, she is only so old.
It is not as good as learning, and it is even worse than knowledge. On the commanding heights of the problem, Hugh said that no one in the entire Song Dynasty had Zheng Lang's ability. Sima Guang and Wang Anshi, who grew up in the future, and now Lu Yijian, Pang Ji, and Fan Zhongyan are not good.
But there is one thing, Cui Xian is better than Zheng Lang. Officialdom!
Strictly speaking, Cui Youjie is one of the thousands of soy sauce groups in the Song Dynasty, and he may be able to play soy sauce to serve as a governor in the state capital near Tokyo City.
Cui Xian heard and witnessed it, and was more familiar with the inside story of officialdom than Zheng Lang.
There are two other people who can also do it, Sima Guang and Lu Gong, but these two people were good babies when they were young, and they worked very hard in their studies, but the tutors on both sides did not teach any officialdom experience. There should have been, but there was no wisdom.
These people are combined together, if they really want to PK, if Lu Yijian does not exert a strong network, he may not have the upper hand. However, they are not familiar with officialdom, which is precisely the biggest shortcoming of several people in this industry.
As soon as Cui Xian came, she immediately made up for it, and said: "As soon as you express your position, there will be more people who complain, and there are some injustices in that state and county." I was wronged from my own point of view, but from the perspective of others, it may not be a grievance. But you give them hope that if such a case comes up, the county and county orders will not deal with it, and then they will continue to go to the state government to file a complaint. Wang Zhizhou said that he would not want to hand over for a few days, and he would not want to hand over for several months. Do the officials want to see this result? ”
Zheng Lang definitely didn't want to, he picked the six tigers of the Zhang family out, just to select a monkey chicken. There are no six tigers of the Zhang family, and they will also pick the five tyrants of the Zhu family, the seven leopards of the Cao family, etc., and they always have to find a chicken to come out, the six tigers of the Zhang family are sad ghosts, let Zheng Lang touch them, then it is them.
But Zheng Lang didn't want the situation to expand.
Cui Xian said again: "Wang Zhizhou is an official with mixed qualifications, this mentality is destined to be a peacemaker, and he will not be resolute in doing things before. It's not like you......"
Infinitely shy, and a little appreciative glanced at Zheng Lang, her husband's approach was very appreciated by her, usually acting tepidly, slow and neat, once it was done, it was vigorous and resolute, Zhang Chi had a way, and even the eight kings said that it was yin! Do you want to ask how it is yin another day, why didn't you come up with it yourself?
"Even if he wants to complete the handover in order to complete the handover, he wants to deal with the affairs as soon as possible, because of his previous practice, the people are lazy, and the cats of the Zhang family ...... Giggle......" Cui Xian mentioned the cat, and couldn't help but be happy, the word official was used well, and said: "I may not be able to serve." It will drag on for a long time, and say to the officials that it is not beautiful. As long as you hurry up at this time, the cats of the Zhang family will ...... Cluck...... Afraid of you, will confess quickly. Wei is also established, and officials can establish grace and morality. ”
For Cui Xian, there is no Confucian moderation, benevolence and righteousness, only success and failure. is not like Cui Youjie, Cui Youjie's surname is gentle, not like Xu, Xu's short-sightedness and philistine. Cui Xian fused the excellent genes of the two and became a real utilitarian.
Zheng Lang laughed, but had to admit that what she said was reasonable. Suddenly, he looked at the people around him again, Jiang Xing'er was a bookworm, Si'er was a little fool, Sima Guang had a black belly, Wang Anshi was stubborn, Lu Gong was gentle, Yan Rong was honest, and Cui Xian's utilitarianism was almost no normal human being.
He smiled angrily and amusefully, and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
Grabbed Zheng Lang's hand and pulled him into the room.
The two are husband and wife, so there is no need to shy away from it.
Coming to the room, Cui Xian said: "Soon after you left Zhengzhou, something bad happened, and those princes suddenly sent someone to my father and said that as long as my family is willing, they will marry me as a princess, and then beg the emperor to give you a good family." ”
"Who is it?"
"I didn't say who was the son."
"That's weird......" Zheng Lang said. If it weren't for the Tang Dynasty, the horses in the Song Dynasty were not worth much, and they were even less valuable than the Tang Dynasty, and it was even possible that good scholars would not marry, and the sergeants and doctors of the court would not let them marry, for example, a certain princess took a fancy to Zheng Lang, and Zhao Zhen asked Zheng Lang to marry, then the court would be noisy, Your Majesty, what are you doing, you want to abolish a pillar of the country? If you marry a princess, you can't directly participate in politics. As a result, some princesses were only able to marry a merchant.
In the same way, the princess is not valuable, except for a noble name, what can she have, she is raised as a noble pig, and she has no right to participate in politics at all. Besides, he is not Zhao Zhen's own brother, just take a look at the situation of the Eight Kings Zhao Yuanyan. Shut the door!
One is the youngest Sanyuan with a bright future, and the other is a son in name only, and his mother-in-law is alive, and he also knows how to do this multiple-choice question. What's more, the two have been married, and there are no special circumstances, who wants to ruin this family business?
It is very unreasonable for these sons to propose this marriage.
Cui Xian said: "My father also asked, at that time, the steward replied that he saw the concubine when he was in the capital, and he never forgot it, and he thought about it at night, so he came to Caizhou, and it was not easy to ask for it, and His Majesty sent someone to call them back, and put it forward when they left. ”
"Beijing?"
"The concubine also wanted to go out to have a look, but I didn't expect it...... You should marry a red-faced disaster and come back," Cui Xian finished speaking, Danfeng's eyes flew again, and she was a little proud.
At this time, the red face and disaster water are two words, a "Hanshu. The Biography of Empress Xu Cheng", a "Biography of Zhao Feiyan", the derogatory meaning is not as serious as later.
Zheng Lang looked at Cui Xian again, it is also possible, his wife's appearance is very good, if he is greedy for sex, it is possible to "think about it at night". But this matter is not so simple, why did a certain prince see Cui Xian and take a fancy to Cui Xian. What glorious role did Gao Ya play in the middle?
But there is a reason that finally came to the figure, why Zhao Yun let these three "Qingliu" sons actually wrap themselves with Zhao Yundi and also came to Shangcai, probably to help this prince achieve his wish.
Who is this amorous seed?
Cui Xian said again: "The concubine and her father were afraid of many things, so the concubine quietly packed her luggage, left Caizhou, and went to your house, bringing some looms and five weaver girls over. Give them some money and let them come to Jiangnan together to teach the women of your state the art of weaving. The concubine has heard it at home, and I have heard it in your family, there are many raw silk in the south of the Yangtze River, but the skills are not excellent, and it is not as far as Shandong, Hebei, and Henan. It's also for you to make a political achievement. ”
"That's a good idea." Zheng Lang boasted.
"The concubine also knows a lot of weaving skills, and the craftsmanship is not bad, if the concubine takes the women in your state and teaches them skills in person, will they thank you?"
Zheng Lang smiled, it seems that if smart people use their cleverness in the right place, it is also good.
"Do you thank the concubine?"
"Thank you."
"How to be grateful?"
Looking at the door of the room and staring at her seductive lips, Zheng Lang walked over, forcibly held her in his arms, gave her a deep kiss, and put his tongue into Cui Xian's mouth. Cui Xian is Yunying's body, and she has opened the love between men and women, but she has never tasted the taste of men and women.
After a deep kiss, his body had softened, and he responded indiscriminately with his clove tongue in confusion, his eyes closed, and one or two coquettish moans came out of his mouth: "Hmm...... Well. ”
His lips were loosened, Zheng Lang put his hand into the placket of his somewhat sweaty shirt again, and while stroking the soft bread, he gently played with the little cherry, and said, "How about such a thanks?" ”
"You are a light concubine."
"The official is a light lady, it is justified, the little lady of the Cui family, this official is not subject to this."
Cui Xian came to her senses, slapped him on the hand, and said, "Stay for a while, let the concubine see people, and announce it during the day...... Silver, not good. ”
However, under Zheng Lang's caress on his chest, a heart beat hard, his body was softer, his whole body was hot, and he leaned on Zheng Lang's wrist more softly.
He also said: "No, although the concubine avoided trouble and came in advance, her biological mother died, and she had to keep the one-year filial piety period." A year later, no, only ten months later, the concubine was given to you. Don't you want to ...... No...... Yes. "Finally, like the sound of mosquitoes, it is getting softer and softer.
"But I promised to let Jiang Xing'er and Si'er warm my bed this winter."
"That's not ......" stopped suddenly, you can't make trouble unreasonably, the official has done a good job, until now the two little maids haven't moved, it's not easy, stared at Zheng Lang and said: "The concubine also accompanies you to warm the bed, how many people are in bed, what can you do?" ”
"How many are there?" Zheng Lang saw that scene in front of him, he was really looking forward to it.
Thinking like this, his hand slipped.
"Uh-huh...... Where...... Uh-huh...... No way...... Uh-huh...... Shameful. After finishing speaking, Cui Xian's body fell.
It's really not good, if you don't let go, anything can happen, Zheng Lang proudly let her go, helped her sit on the chair, and asked, "Why is it so fast?" ”
"The concubine took someone with a loom, got on the boat, went ashore from Cai Shui, went ashore in Songzhou, went to Luzhou by land, and rehired a boat from Luzhou to go down to Shuishui, Chaohu Lake, and Weixushui, the journey was a little harder, and I took a shortcut, but the speed was faster."
"I see, I'll go out and make arrangements."
"Well," Cui Xian's body softened at this time, and Zheng Lang's clothes were messed up, his face was flushed, and he was drenched in sweat, and if he didn't clean up, it would be difficult to go out, and then he said, "You come here." ”
Rubbing Zheng Lang's fingers with his sleeve, he said shyly: "Where can't you ...... Touch. ”
"You don't understand, this is the joy of the boudoir," Zheng Lang laughed and walked out.
Squeeze it first, settle down later, and rearrange it, but you don't need to buy a house, rent a few houses, let a few weaver girls live, now is the time, you can teach silk, you can teach Ma Ge, and after autumn, they will leave Taipingzhou.
Suddenly thinking about it, Cui Xian is also very good, why didn't she think of it. It's not that he didn't expect that he had a bigger target, which was tens of thousands of acres, hundreds of thousands of acres, and a large commercial port...... Zheng Lang began to hand over, and there were still a few days to go.
Check the accounts one by one and count the official documents.
When the news spread, more people complained.
can be called the six tigers of the Zhang family, but they have done many bad things. The family is big and the business is big, with more than 1,000 acres of land in two small pæds, encroaching on more than 1,000 acres of lakes, and a large silk workshop. But the footsteps didn't stop, the six brothers in the family, the property that is very satisfying on one person, one point for six people, how much can the family have left?
Therefore, the annexation continued, the six brothers did not know martial arts, and there were not many people practicing martial arts in the entire south, but in the area of Hebei, Hedong and Shaanxi, invaded by foreign enemies, many people practiced martial arts. In addition to the merger, there are other bad things, such as forcibly seizing some small property, mulberry trees, vegetable fields, housing bases, or beating a dozen villagers, molesting women from good families, insulting, disrespecting the elders of the clan, and so on.
Some of them were not big, but they did break the law, but they were not serious, and no one died, but more than 20 villagers let them be injured.
This phenomenon is very serious in the rural areas, there are not many literate people, and it is troublesome to fight lawsuits, so they have to solve the problem with their fists, and they have gone a little too far, and this is why they are notorious.
The kind that can be asked but not asked.
There are more trivial matters, and whoever makes the county order in these cases will not be affected.
But the people knew that Xinzhizhou was going to take the six-headed tiger of the Zhang family, and they were usually bullied, and the opportunity was rare, so they went to the county government one by one to complain, but they didn't accept it, and the state government next door was next door, and finally the cases were piled up in Wang Zhizhou's hands one by one.
In terms of individuals, this kind of case is not a big case, but there are many piles, and you can see the bad spots of the six tigers of the Zhang family.
There are no lawsuits to protect them, the six tigers of the Zhang family have become six sick cats, Zheng Lang is going to take over, I am afraid that they will be dealt with more severely, although they have six brothers, two of them have been served, one is the Yaqian, the other is a small official in Tu County, but in the end, it is the people, and the government fights, what good results can there be.
After paying taxes and paying fines to compensate the victims, two days later, the family lost seven or eight thousand yuan of property, and the Huze government took it and sold the workshop, leaving only two small wei, in fact, it was announced that they had changed from middle and upper landlords to small landlords.
If you don't have wealth, can you still be powerful?
Zheng Lang handed over at this time.
But as he and Cui Xian expected, seeing the results of the Zhang family, more poor people became emboldened and appealed one after another.
This is not going to work, it is precisely this hard forced errand law, if all the fire is fired, not to mention that it will be inconvenient to govern in the future, it is possible that the state and county officials will immediately rebel and revolt.
On the first day, people were asked to post a poster, the rich people of the state and county should not bully the poor people, and the poor people should not falsely accuse the rich unreasonably and disrupt the order of the state.
This wave of complaints must be suppressed in time.
By the next day, it was already the beginning of July, and Zheng Lang went to the state government to take office.
However, many people came to the gate of the state government.
Zheng Lang looked at their clothes and shouted very unhappily: "What do you want to do in front of the yamen?" ”
Or the Errand Law.
The Song Dynasty changed the disadvantages of the previous generation, so the people were divided into five classes, the poor people bear the taxes, the rich bear the errand service, one is the official, the second is the yaqian, the third is the head of the old household, the archer, the strong man, and the fourth is the other servant. This saves the country a lot of money, but it produces more drawbacks.
This Zheng Lang doesn't want to move, it's very troublesome. At least I don't want to touch this hot potato right now.
But it was this errand law that made him also dare not touch all the rich households, even if these rich families were all bullies and inferior gentry. The first is their influence in the township, and the second is the officials, the yamen, especially the officials, from the Confucian officials to the tenth rank of the grain and material charges, all of which are held by these rich households, one has no salary, and the other has no official notice, but they are the head snakes of the land. "Officials, people from a foreign land, officials who have reached the age of three examinations, those who have become seniors have two examinations, and officials are the eldest children and grandchildren during the period, and officials look at things, then they are officials before and after, so officials are bullied by officials, sold by officials, and it is also powerful." "Rooted in caves, powerful and honorable, indiscriminately gracious, and self-superior."
After the magistrate took office, his eyes were dark, and the mediocre and inactive were completely placed in the hands of the officials, and they were left to fiddle. Even a shrewd and capable person is affected by it. For example, Zheng Lang, when thinking about how to govern the future of Taiping Prefecture, he divided a large part of his mind and put it on this official.
Helpless!
Including killing chickens and monkeys, it is also a kind of shock.
That's it, what are you doing today? Do you want to show your face?
As soon as the words were spoken, suddenly all these dozens of well-dressed people knelt down and said, "Zhizhou, they all say that you are Wen Kuixing's descendant, save us." ”
Third Uncle Lu was a little dizzy, although a small number of poor people began to fire at other rich households, yesterday Zheng Lang gave an order in time and hung it outside the city gate, you can't be forced to this point, right?
