Chapter 145 Seeking to see Wu Chengsi
The Zhang family is full of joy!
The imperial court issued an order to grant Zhang's father the title of the county magistrate of Jiangdu. Jiang was the Shangxian County, and the county magistrate was the eighth rank, and he could be regarded as a family of gentry.
The Lu Mansion was also excited.
Lu's father was named Tongzhi of Yangzhou Prefecture, the fifth rank!
This is the reward given by the court to the gentry who firmly supported it. He took the right side and won the victory. How could he not distinguish between the fruits?
Of course, no matter how great the local gentry has made, he can only be a deputy, and the chief official is a resigned official.
But even so, the Lu family and the Zhang family were extremely satisfied. Because of Xiao Ye's reminder, the Li Jingye rebellion did not lose much industrial population, but instead received generous rewards from the court because of his resolute positioning.
Zi Gu personally issued an edict by Empress Wu, and changed it to the Flower God, which controlled all the flowers in the world.
The reward of priesthood does not require passing through the court. The emperor and the emperor are also the emperor. They have the privilege of being a god on behalf of heaven. The court is only a human institution and cannot be involved in the power of heaven.
But Su Jun was very troublesome. Although he had made contributions to the fight, Fang Xuanling had already concluded that even the empress dowager could not rashly overthrow it. He could not be granted the righteous god for the time being, but he let go of the people's sacrifices to Su Jun.
Zhang Jianzhi was ordered to be the general manager of the grain transportation, and his status was equivalent to that of the general manager.
Due to the Li Jingye Rebellion, the court saw the harm of letting hundreds of thousands of grain tuition soldiers ignore it, so they learned from the pain. After Di Renjie reported that a grain transport tuition transportation tuition was established to manage all grain transport-related affairs, including grain tuition soldiers. It has a high position and is under the control of Yangzhou. It is not subject to local control. It has 30,000 water and land tuition soldiers, and five magistrates were set up. Each guard is in charge of 6,000 troops, and Tie Wuhen is one of them.
Ren Zhigu was afraid of going forward, failed in the battle, and was dismissed from office, and was taken to Luoyang for prosecution, and Heichi Changzhi was replaced by Jiangnan Road as the chief manager.
This person was a Turkic man. He first served Baekji. Twenty years ago, Emperor Gaozong destroyed Baekji and Chang surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Because of his bravery, he was highly valued and fought against Tubo for a long time. Now he was transferred to Jiangnan Road as the chief manager. The political meaning is self-evident.
The court wants to clean up Jiangnan!
For a moment, the Jiangnan region, especially Yangzhou, where the rebellion originated, was in a panic, and many wealthy families were in panic all day long. After all, Li Jingye's rebellion suddenly broke out, and many big families had no time to run away, so they had to serve Li Jingye more or less. Obviously, after the rebellion was quelled, the court would settle it.
When they learned that Heichi Changzhi had taken office, the Lu family and the Zhang family all said something lucky. If Xiao Ye had not tried his best to persuade him, even if they were not helping each other, they would have been labeled as a hat and bleeded violently!
Laoshan Shangqing Palace!
The old Taoist in Qingyi faced the statue of the Three Officials Emperor, sat cross-legged, and Lingxuzi stood behind her, feeling the Taoist rhyme, and realizing that she was calm in her body and mind.
After a while, Ling Xuzi whispered: "The Master of the Master, this time Li Jingye's defeat, the dragon seed has made a lot of efforts. I wonder what he would think about when he learned about his life experience one day."
The old Taoist said lightly: "There is a star in the year that violates Ziwei, and Empress Wu is in great luck. Don't target it for the time being. Our Taoist sect has been passed down from ancient times to the present, and has gone through several disasters without falling. There is no need to fight for that day and night. Don't interfere with that dragon seed and let it grow on its own."
"What the head teacher said is very true. If he issues a talisman to him and uses his life experience, how dare he refuse to obey?"
Lingxuzi agreed.
"Yeah~~"
The old Taoist responded slowly and stopped talking.
In the next few days, the families were extremely busy. On the eve of his resignation, Zhang Jianzhi allocated hundreds of hectares of fertile land and a Chinese house outside the city to the Xiao family on the eve of his resignation. It took him half a month before the Xiao family completely accepted it.
Xiao Ye also found two families through his sons to cultivate 50 acres of land given by the government.
In the past, people and sons avoided Xiao Ye, but now they are different. Since Xiao Ye moved in, he has not only not been harmed by him, but instead, the Xiao family is booming. How could this be a haunted house? It is a lucky house!
The son was no longer afraid of being a child, so he found two families for Xiao Ye.
The family's surname is Niu, and the couple has two children with one man and one woman, and the other's surname is Ma. The couple has three children, two man and one woman, between the ages of ten and fifteen.
Xiao Ye only requires loyalty and honesty and complete children.
Just like in modern times, although they don’t get married, DINK gradually becomes popular, but when they reach age, they don’t get married and have no children. Whenever they get together, relatives and friends will ask about it with concern. After all, in traditional concepts, men’s failure to get married means they are incompetent and have no ability to start a family.
This was more obvious in ancient times. Only with family business can one have bonds. Before committing crimes, think about whether your family will be implicated.
He took the lowest rent of 30%; after all, he did not point to the fifty acres of land to eat. He originally planned to get some property for the Xiao family, but the court rewarded hundreds of hectares of fertile land, which temporarily made him extinguish this thought.
Xiao Ye has been working in farming for 30 years, but his roots are insufficient. Xiao Song alone supports his family business. Even if he opens a clan school, it will take at least ten or eight years for the children of the clan to become successful. It may not be a blessing to suddenly gain a lot of wealth.
But he himself, since he is a literati, still has to make money through culture.
Taking advantage of the east wind of the West Chamber, he planned to write a Dream of the Red Chamber again. Once the title was published on the Golden List, it will be released simultaneously in Luoyang and Jiangdong.
In fact, Xiao Ye never understood why the Qing Dynasty banned the Dream of Red Mansions. No matter how you read this book, it is extremely politically correct. No matter how glorious your four major families are, the court will send you to hell!
However, unlike the West Chamber, Dream of Red Mansions is mostly a slang term for the Ming and Qing dynasties, which requires time to translate and convert.
Fortunately, there is still half a year before the winter examination, so there is no hurry.
Xiao Ye’s family did not invite anyone, mainly to offer a god and four flower spirits. It was inconvenient to invite outsiders to come. Moreover, Du and Qiao Niang were practicing boxing and standing in a stance, and their physique was different from ordinary people. Even if they were sorting out the layers with their own hands, they would not feel tired.
...
Luoyang!
Duke Zhou’s Mansion, Xijiaomen!
"Tu tuk!"
Mr. Cai took Shi Jin to knock on the door knocker.
"Who?"
The small window on the door opened, and an old slave poked his head out and asked with disgust on his face.
Mr. Cai said: "Please report to the Duke of the People's Republic of China, Cai Hengyuan, an old friend from Jiangnan, to see him."
"oh?"
The old slave didn't leave and looked at him in a daze.
Mr. Cai took out ten taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it in and said, "Please pass it on your behalf."
"Yeah~~"
The old slave took the money, weighed it, and then said, "Let's wait!"
Then, with a bang, the small window closed, and a slow sound of footsteps left.
"Dog slave!"
Shi Jin couldn't help but scold.
Mr. Cai said lightly: "Why bother with a mere servant? Your family has suffered a great disaster, although it is a disaster, but it is also a chance. Don't you hear that God will give a great responsibility to this person. You must first work hard and make your mind and mind hard? If you survive, your future will be unlimited."
"Yes, thank you for your teachings."
Shi Jinshen gave a tribute and hesitated, "That Fengge woman... can you just forget it?"
Mr. Cai smiled slightly: "This woman is related to your future, so naturally she cannot give up. It's just that with your current position, she can't marry her. She is only fourteen, and next year, she will wait."
Shi Jin muttered in his heart, was his family's disaster caused by his intention to force his marriage to Xiao Ye's little cousin?
However, he dared not show this thought. Not to mention that he regards Mr. Cai as his father, but now both mother and son rely on Mr. Cai to live, he dare not make Mr. Cai unhappy.
"Squeak!"
As he spoke, the horn opened, and the old slave was arrogant at first and respectful at the end, and said with a flattering smile: "The prince is welcome, please come with the old slave!"
"It's a labor!"
Mr. Cai nodded and stepped into the door with Shi Jin.
"The prince is meeting guests at the West Warehouse. Please come with me!"
Another maid Yingying gave a gift and took the two of them deep into the corridors. A house appeared in front of her.
"Please let me come in and report!"
As soon as the maid finished speaking, a long smile came from a hall: "It turned out to be Mr. Cai, I am so embarrassed to welcome you. Please come in!"
Even though he said that, Wu Chengsi had no intention of leaving to greet him. Mr. Cai did not think that he had entered the hall with Shi Jin. He saw Wu Chengsi wearing a regular robes, standing high above his head, and there were two eunuchs serving him next to the steps. He immediately bowed and said, "Cai Hengyuan, pay homage to Duke Zhou!"
