Guo Yu and Guo Zhizhou, who were proud of the spring breeze, came to Shandong to take up his post, and the Shandong officialdom heard the wind and moved to keep people to pick up the wind and wash the dust, which made Guo Zhizhou, who had stayed in the cold yamen for many years, feel comfortable for a while, and was full of ambition for his tenure, and wrote a letter to his relative Xu Hao on the way.

Xu Hao is indeed related to Guo Yu, but he has never been willing to deal with the Guo brothers. As soon as Comrade Lao Zhu was able to marry and give birth, there were too many relatives of the emperor and the country, and it was naturally not uncommon to have more. Second, he is a generation shorter than Guo Yu, and there is not much age difference between them, who wants to call a peer uncle? Fortunately, it's not a serious relative, even if you bump into the official title.

And for a long time, in order to avoid suspicion, the Xu family and the Guo family have not had much contact, not to mention the Xu Hao family, except for weddings and funerals on the surface, they almost never move around on weekdays.

As mentioned above, the Guo family is no less than the Xu family's first-class noble family, Wuding Marquis Guo Ying's sister Hui Concubine Guo has a noble status, without the name of the queen but the queen is the queen, and gave birth to Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, Zhu Gui, the king of the valley, Zhu Gui, the princess of Yongjia and the princess of Ruyang, of which the king Zhu Gui married Xu Hao's second aunt, Xu Da's second daughter.

Xu Hao sometimes envies Comrade Zhu's good fortune, not to mention starting from scratch, he married the adopted daughter of the father-in-law Guo Zixing, Queen Ma, the daughter-in-law of the brother-in-law, the daughter-in-law of the father-in-law's own daughter, and the three sisters of the old Guo family were all occupied by him alone.

Guo Yingsheng had twelve sons, the eldest son Guo Zhengui was the captain of the horse and married his cousin Princess Yongjia; The second son Guo Ming has been an official in the palace for a long time, and it is said that as the second son, he will inherit the title of the Guo family in the future, but according to the grapevine, Guo Ying does not like the second son very much, because Guo Ming has been weak and sick since he was a child, and his cowardly personality was sent to Zhu Gui, the acting king, when he was ten years old, he was sent to Zhu Gui as a companion.

The third son, Guo Yong, is the most outstanding among the brothers, and last year he was promoted to the right governor of the Chinese military governor's mansion, and there are rumors among the emperor's relatives that the old man Guo intends to let the third son inherit the marquis.

The fourth son, Guo Jian, was left behind in Fengyang, the capital of Zhongdu, and had a lot of dealings with Xu Hao in the past few months. Xu Hao's evaluation of Guo Jian is an honest person.

Xu Hao also knows the fifth Guo Fei and the ninth Guo Fang, and they belong to the friends of the general nod, among which Guo Yu is a loose rider, just like Xu Hao has served as an officer with a knife, they are all imperial guards, good martial arts but no talent, and no one is very arrogant in the eyes of his family, so he does not like Zhu Yuanzhang and is not reused.

Lao Jiu Guo Fang is extremely handsome, tall and mighty, and is a famous beautiful man in the capital, if it weren't for the eldest brother Guo Zhen who had married a princess. Comrade Lao Zhu almost summoned him as a concubine, because of his appreciation of Guo Fang's outstanding demeanor, he ordered him to serve as the leader of the honor guard of the three armies of the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and three years later he was promoted to the commander of the noble but no real power of the standard-bearer guard.

However, the limelight has been suppressed by Li Jinglong, and later as the younger Xu Hao became famous, Guo Fang gradually fell out of the limelight.

It turned out that Guo Fang had pursued Mu Ningxue hard before, and once met Li Jinglong on a narrow road and swore in public, but was beaten off the horse with a stick during the competition. Since then, it has become a slump.

Guo Yu is ranked eighth among the brothers, and his martial arts are scarce and he likes to read since he was a child, and he has been a civil official through Enmeng, and he has been working hard in the popular yamen of Shang Baojian. Since Xu Hao's second uncle Xu Yingxu was successfully promoted, he succeeded him as Shaoqing.

Guo Yu and Ouyang Lun have a good relationship, they are both Zhu Yunwen's people, and they have had close contacts with Xu Wen and Xu Ji recently. After Xu Hao received the letter, he burned it casually. instructed Li Qiu to send a congratulatory gift, but he was too lazy to socialize with Guo Yu.

The room was full of books, and Xu Hao was busy compiling textbooks. Holding the historical record in his hand while thinking about it while reading it out with his own words, Mu Ningxue personally wrote it, Zhiyan and Zhiqing were responsible for sorting and binding, and then handed it over to Yang Shiqi for revision and printing.

Xu Hao naturally doesn't have that much knowledge, but he can systematically copy modern history books, completely get rid of ornate classical Chinese and official articles that praise virtues, and tell history in the most popular vernacular.

The punctuation of the chapters is used, from the three emperors and five emperors to the previous dynasty system, please Mu Ningxue and Yang Shiqi to write out the life deeds of the heroic emperors and famous generals of the Han family in the past dynasties, and write the history of the Han family being poisoned by foreign races and the Han people rising up to resist, in short, it is a patriotic book, trying to cultivate the spirit of Han nationalism.

Geography describes the geographical location and customs of the surrounding countries, as well as the grievances and grievances between the Han people, anyway, there are no good people around.

Of course, a work in a hurry will not be on the table, and it will definitely be scoffed at by readers, but so what? Xu Hao even plans to add a large number of villain-like comic strips to distribute them for free in the future.

Just as he was about to talk about the unbearable period of darkness in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Pearl walked in with an invitation in his hand and said, "Mrs. Guo sent someone to invite Mrs. to the banquet. ”

Mu Ningxue stopped the brush in her hand and looked up at Xu Hao, while Xu Hao frowned and said, "What kind of hospitality do you have nothing to offer?" Don't go. ”

Zhiqing said: "Wouldn't it be too rude." ”

Xu Hao said unhappily: "I haven't had a relationship before, and I have no official or position, who knows what kind of bad intentions he Guo Yu played?" At this time, you obviously have to stay at Guo's house, no! Besides, the people in the territory can't even eat, Guo Yu, as a parent official, doesn't think about business, but invites other people's daughters to his house to eat, drink and have fun, wanting to covet my daughter-in-law and find death. ”

Zhiqing suddenly covered her mouth and smiled: "Dare to be jealous." ”

Xu Hao said angrily: "Yes or not will be known in the next few days, you look at it, he will definitely come to Wendeng County with his wife." ”

Zhiqing said in disbelief: "Now that the title of Miss has been decided, then Guo Yu is a Lord Zhizhou, so he won't do this, right?" ”

Mu Ningxue frowned and said, "There are annoying flies everywhere you go, so let's move to the island early tomorrow morning." ”

Xu Hao asked, "Didn't the red leaves go to the island to play?" Why haven't you come back yet? Pearl, you asked Li Qiu to go over and pick up Miss Home. ”

Pearl agreed and turned around, Mu Ningxue smiled thoughtfully, but didn't say it.

Early the next morning, Xu Hao took more than 30 family members who arrived and went to Liugong Island by boat. Sure enough, at noon, Guo Yu and his wife came in an official sedan chair, called to inspect Wendeng County, but in fact, it was just to see Mu Ningxue's stunning face. Now that Guo Yu is in a high position and talented, he privately thinks that Xu Hao is forcibly cooking the raw rice of the county lord of Yuning into cooked rice by robbing relatives, presumably the county lord will dislike her husband's status as a grass farmer, and may have the opportunity to kiss Fang Ze.

Unexpectedly, Xu Hao and his wife went to Liugong Island, and there was not a single boat on the dock, so Guo Yu could only stand on the shore and sigh.

Yang Shiqi hurried over with the officials, stepped forward to salute and said: "I don't know that the Shangguan is coming, and the lower officials are not welcome, and I hope that the adults will atone for their sins." ”

Guo Yu frowned and asked, "How much grain do you still have in Wendeng County?" This official has come all the way and is full of people with yellow faces and thin muscles, and everyone under your rule is good-looking, how can you only care about the frost on your own tiles as an official of the imperial court? ”

Yang Shiqi smiled bitterly: "My lord doesn't know, most of the people rely on working for the water master yamen in exchange for food and clothing, and the rest of the poor people barely rely on a mouthful of soup and porridge to hang on to death, and the hungry people in nearby states and counties who come to my Wendeng County to beg for food have been properly settled. ”

Guo Yu raised his head and said proudly: "Forget it, this official will find a way to raise food." Let me ask you, are Xu Hao and the county lord of Yuning married? ”

Yang Shiqi was stunned for a moment and said: "This is Mr. Xu's family matter, and the officials don't know." ”

Guo Yu felt that the question was too reckless, and explained: "This official and he are both relatives, so I will visit by the way, who knows if the person went to the opposite island, do you know when you will come back?" ”

Yang Shiqi's heart moved, and said: "In the past few days, Mrs. has given everything she has to help the victims, and has repeatedly warned the lower officials not to starve to death a single citizen. It is rare for Mrs. to go to the island with her husband to relax, and I am afraid that she will have to live for ten days and a half months. ”

Guo Yu praised: "The county lord is really kind-hearted, it's okay, the official will handle the disaster relief matter first and leave." ”

Yang Shiqi looked at Guo Yuxing and left in a sedan chair, and said in his heart that he had to wronged Mrs. Xu for the sake of the people.

Guo Yu, who returned to the official office, immediately sent a message to the officials such as the canonical history, and said in public: "This official has first taken office, and the porridge has been given in the city for five months. Starting from the official to donate two stones, you will set an example for yourself. ”

The officials all nodded with bitter faces, saying that they didn't know how many times they were ordered by their predecessors to donate money and food, and they were all so poor that their families couldn't open the pot. But when Lord Guo first arrived, it was not easy to sweep the face of the adult, so at the moment, you wrote it down one by one in the book of fate.

Guo Yu is not too little, and said with a smile: "I will take a trip to the history of the classics, I heard that there is a Yao township eunuch in the city, and there are more than 100,000 grains stored in the granary with hundreds of millions of family assets. Go quickly, this palace is waiting for your good news. ”

Dian Shi sighed and came to Yao's house to explain that he was ordered by the new Lord Zhizhou, this Yao Xiang Eunuch is a famous iron rooster in Dengzhou Mansion, and he was unhappy and reluctantly donated two stone millet worth only ten taels of silver.

There is no way for the history of the classics to come out and raise people from door to door to raise donations, who will be more juan with the precedent of the Yao family? On the contrary, everyone ridiculed God for punishing the stubborn people, and if you and other officials did not do anything to promote us and other good people, it was just a matter of letting us help the people, which is ridiculous!

Probably the same is based on Guo Yu's new face, more or less ten taels of silver or grain of equal value.

Said that the history of the classics was ashamed, and went to the school to walk around, the teacher with two sleeves and a breeze was kind, and generously donated ten taels of silver, and the disciples saw this and three dollars per person. The master gave him an idea, saying that there were still many rich sons living in the school.

Dian Shi Daxi hurriedly ran over to collect donations, and sure enough, the sons were very happy, each with three taels of silver, so that a total of more than 300 taels of silver and more than 100 stones of grain were raised.

Who knew that Guo Yu waved his hand without thinking, and directly distributed all the money and food to the poor, letting the poor buy food by themselves.

Xu Hao and Yang Shiqi, who learned of this, both sighed, and Mu Ningxue said speechlessly: "It's a nerd who doesn't know the world." (To be continued......)
