Chapter 32 Family Friends

Because the Bian River used vehicles and ships, a large number of boatmen were removed. Du Zhongxiao was appointed as the doctor of the branch, and the judge of the transfer of Jingxi Road and the commander of Jingxi Road was appointed as the commander of the camp and field affairs. He stationed in Tangzhou and took them to prefectures and counties with many leisure fields on Jingxi Road to clear the land. Entering the first month of the leap month, after Bi Ci, he took more than 20,000 boatmen from Beijing to set off first.

This promotion, Du Zhongxiao was promoted from Yuanwailang to Langzhong, and Right Cao transferred to Zuo Cao. In addition to the official rank, he also had the meaning of being noble. Normally, he should be transferred from Right Cao and promoted in sequence along the military farming doctor. In terms of official positions, Du Zhongxiao was enough to serve as the transfer judge, but the order of qualifications was insufficient, so he had to bring the word "Power". The transfer judge was slightly lower than the promotion of the prison and the deputy envoy of the transfer, which was equal to the Dazhou. According to the order of relocation, two magistrates were promoted to Tongju, two magistrates were promoted to magistrates, and two magistrates were promoted to Dazhou. The signing was the same as the magistrates, and Du Zhongxiao lacked the order of the magistrates and the magistrates.

The transfer of transportation and transportation belts have been in charge of the land for camps since the reign of Emperor Taizong, especially on Jingxi Road, because there are many idle fields, the deputy led them. However, Du Zhongxiao, the judge of transportation, has more, and specialized handling of the land for camps is different from them.

Quan Erlang looked at Du Zhongxiao standing in front with a little panic in his eyes. He recognized that this was the official sitting beside him while drinking with his two brothers in a tavern a few days ago. He said a lot of banned words that day, and he was a big crime to pursue. Although he would not kill people for words in this era, he could not say anything even if he was amateur on this grounds.

Du Zhongxiao also recognized this young man wearing flower embroidery. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have thought of the opportunity to go to Yingtian on the West Road of Jingxi Road to get rid of the dilemma of literary exchange. Seeing that he looked panicked, Du Zhongxiao smiled. He was now a member of the country, so of course he wouldn't be unable to get along with such a person.

When I went to Tangzhou, the Sansi paid some money and grain as travel expenses. After arriving at the local area, the Transportation Office moved the money and grain as capital. However, along the way, they had to be received by the prefectures and counties along the way, and it was inevitable that they would harass the local area. I was sharing the worries of the court, but for local officials, I was very annoying. I had to go on the road in the morning and arrived in Tangzhou before the spring was encouraged to farm, otherwise it would be bad like a rat crossing the street.

Departing from the capital, I took a boat to Caizhou, and then from Caizhou to Tangzhou, and happened to pass by my hometown. I picked up my family there and followed me to Tangzhou to take up my post, and I was dismissed from running around the capital. Fortunately, after returning to Beijing, my duty was not settled, and Han Yueniang did not come.

Kaifeng Prefecture sent a team of troops to escort along the way, down the Cai River, and said nothing, and arrived in Xuzhou in a few days.

Du Xun and Luo Jing had already returned from Shu and were waiting with Han Lian at the dock. When they saw Du Zhongxiao's official ship arrive, they hurriedly met him.

Du Zhongxiao ordered his subordinates to arrange people to lead the team first, and the official boat was waiting for him here for a day, and took Shisanlang out of the ship.

Seeing Du Xun and Han Lian, Du Zhongxiao hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Du Xun said: "You said you were going to work in Tangzhou a few days ago. You will be here every day. We are waiting here!"

Du Zhongxiao said: "The child is unfilial, so I have to bother my father and father-in-law for a long time."

Du Xun smiled and said, "What do you say about your own family? You have never seen the village we built in the countryside. This time, you live in Xiangtian more at home."

Du Zhongxiao said: "I can't delay my life, I can only stay here for one day. I must set out tomorrow, otherwise the team will arrive in Caizhou and I am not here, so I am afraid that people will gossip."

Han Lian said: "Now Dalang is a court official, and the burden is huge on his body, so how can he be with him? In-laws, we should not stand here for a long time, take Dalang home and set up a banquet to greet him. Many supervisors and patrons at home have never met Dalang."

After saying that, the commander followed the visitor, moved Du Zhongxiao's salute and went to Zhuangzi not far away.

The Du family built the village not far from Cai River, and within an hour, they arrived in front of the village.

Before he got off the horse, he saw a middle-aged man with a boy standing in front of the village. When he saw Du Zhongxiao and his party coming, he hurried forward and saluted: "Student Li Xian, I have seen Yun Jue."

Du Xun hurriedly pulled Li Xian's hand and said, "Brother, our family family, will you ruin your son if you do this? He became an official who raises the family and is also your family nephew. You call yourself a student, wouldn't it be embarrassing to me!"

Du Zhongxiao hurriedly dismounted and asked after asking, he found out that Li Xian was the cousin of his fellow villager Li Du. He has been studying since he was a child and has not yet passed the Jinshi. A scholar who has not passed the Jinshi calls himself a student to officials. This is a custom at this time, regardless of age or age.

The Li family is a native family. The Du family was a Jinshi because of Du Zhongxiao, and is considered a rising star. The two families were originally close friends, but their relationship has become more intimate in recent years. In a vague way, most of the things about Linying were decided by these two families. Those who come here to be officials have to sell the face of these two families.

I heard that Du Zhongxiao returned home today, Li Xian specially brought his son Li Tingyu to visit and let Du Zhongxiao meet him. This is something that local families often do to contact family affection. With this relationship, there will be many conveniences in the future. Just like when Du Zhongxiao was admitted to the Jinshi, Li Dui saw that he had some talent to be able to create, so he took him to the capital, which was considered a good relationship.

Everyone entered the farm and sat down in the flower hall. Du Zhongxiao said to Li Xian: "Uncle, don't you know if Dalang has ever studied?"

Li Xian said: "While I was studying, I also taught him to recognize some words, but it was just enlightenment and I had not yet formally studied."

Du Zhongxiao looked at Li Tingyu and ordered Shisanlang to take out an inkstone and give it to Li Xian: "I am an official on Hedong Road. A friend gave this clay inkstone, saying that it was made of clay from the Yellow River, which was very useful. I gave it to the son, so that he could study hard and inherit his family style."

Li Xian happily collected it. Chengni inkstone is also a famous inkstone. Although it is not as expensive as Duan inkstone, it is only a handful of them in the north. It does not depend on how much this thing is worth, it represents a friendship, and the friendship between Li and Du families continues.

Du Zhongxiao had no idea about the local genius before, but now that his family has become a local genius, he gradually understands the meaning. In a county, two Jinshi have a good career, and naturally they have become respected people. As their family becomes richer and more resources, no matter whether you are willing or not, their voices will become more and more powerful in the local area. What happens to this county, whether it is to build bridges and roads, save disasters and wastelands, or if there are conflicts in the local area, they will find their homes. As for the development of this slowly, they will naturally gain power in the local area. As for what to do after obtaining this power, it depends on the individual. In the past, Wu Kejiu was not able to be a human being, and Du Zhongxiao had to leave sadly after becoming a Jinshi.

Li Dui is now the Tongzhi Censorate. His official position is not as high as Du Zhongxiao, but his duties are more noble than Du Zhongxiao. Moreover, the censors are easily promoted. The two families are now at the same level. There is a friendship that brought Du Zhongxiao to Beijing a few years ago, and the relationship between Li and Du families is harmonious. In this case, local officials dare not offend easily.

After not sitting for a long time, Han Yueniang asked someone to bring her son out and meet Du Zhongxiao.

When I saw my son for the first time, when the little guy hid in Du Xun, he poked his little head out from time to time, glanced at Du Zhongxiao, and quickly shrank back. Seeing that his son was a little afraid of him, Du Zhongxiao took out a packet of malt sugar and put it in front of him and said, "Come here and call Dad, I'll give you candy."

The little guy hid behind Du Xun and said, "I ate a lot of sugar a few days ago, so my mother is not allowed to eat it!"
