Chapter 145: Appeasement
Mrs. Zhao and Zhou Qin hurriedly returned to Guizhou, and there was already a rumor in the city, and almost everyone was discussing the former Guangxi Jinglu, Guizhou Zhizhou, and Zhang Qian, the general of Zhuwei, who collaborated with the enemy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Mrs. Zhao hurriedly sent someone out to inquire, and after a while, someone came back to answer, saying that it was broad daylight, and someone at the gate of the city was copied out of the letter written by Zhang Qian, who was entrained in the cart, to Li Changjie, the general of Jiaozhi, and for some reason, it spread all over the city in an instant.
Whether the letter is true or notβit is unusual for the news to reach the people in a short period of time.
Zhou Qin immediately thought of the anti-intermediary plan.
This incident broke out, and no one could get benefits except for Jiaozhi.
Zhang Qian was splashed with sewage, and the second uncle not only had to calm the people's hearts, but also found a way to help Zhang Qian wash away the stigma on his body.
Guangnan is chaotic enough, Guizhou can barely be regarded as deep inland, a corner of peace, but with the successive fall of Qinzhou, Lianzhou, Yongzhou, a few days ago I heard businessmen from the south say that Yongzhou was slaughtered, tens of thousands of dead people, Guizhou people are already a little anxious, and now they are adding fuel to the fire, hearing that high-ranking officials are collaborating with the enemy, it is like the last straw that crushes the camel.
However, it has only been one night, and there are already many people who have rumored that a certain large family has moved to Guangzhou, that a certain official has returned to Tanzhou with his son and daughter, that an official has taken sick leave, but he has taken his family to Jingzhou and so on.
Guizhou is the largest state on the West Guangnan Road, with hundreds of thousands of residents, as well as people from the surrounding prefectures and suburbs, plus merchants who come here to sell goods.
But as the fire intensified, Guizhou became more and more chaotic, and the people of Jiaozhi became more and more likely to fish in troubled waters.
She told Mrs. Zhao what she thought. Old Madam Zhao nodded, and shook her head again, "I can't say who made it up behind it, maybe it's Jiaozhi people, but it can't be ruled out that Zhang Qian's political enemies in the DPRK and the central government can't be ruled out." β
She sighed, "Zhang Qian was too arrogant a few years ago, he made many military exploits, he ate meat by himself, and he refused to even divide the soup, all of them had to be kept in his bowl, and those old men in the court were as shrewd as foxes, and they didn't like him for a long time." If they don't like it, they don't have to do it themselves, and the people below will help do a lot of things. This traitor to the country and the enemy is just a common means in previous years, and those who come out to play, as long as the people above don't recognize it, it's fine, but if there are too many things, when no one is willing to take care of it, this pile and piece by piece will be fatal. β
When Zhou Qin heard this, he said: "I heard that General Zhang was transferred from Hehuang that day because he killed good people and risked his merits......"
Old Madam Zhao sneered, "Do you think there are really so many feudal people who can be killed?" Your grandfather, father, and your second uncle have been guarding the north for fifty or sixty years, and they are not as good as Zhang Qian's head in Hehuang in the past ten years. She sighed, "If it weren't for our family being dragged in Guangnan, I wouldn't have bothered to care about Zhang Qian's mess and let him worry about himself!" It's just that your second uncle is busy dealing with Jiaozhi now, and Yongzhou doesn't know what the situation is, and he can't let the backyard of Guizhou catch fire anymore, so he has to help him quell these rumors. β
She thought for a while and said, "You asked them to prepare a post today and send it to the wives of the major officials in Guizhou, as well as the wives of rich families and landlords, and said that I would set up a banquet and invite them to eat and drink......"
Zhou Qin nodded in his heart, according to the level and standard of the people that Old Madam Zhao planned to invite, he could make up dozens of people casually.
She couldn't help frowning, "You've been tired from running around for the past two days, and your body is good, where can you eat ......?"
Old Madam Zhao shook her head, "Your second uncle doesn't have a family, at this time, I can only help with it, let's do it quickly, the longer it drags on, the more troublesome it will be." β
For three days in a row, Mrs. Zhao set up a banquet at the Chunji Restaurant in Guizhou City, and the ladies and ladies in Guizhou City received the posts.
The wives of the officials and the rich ladies were all entertained separately.
At the banquet, facing the wives of the officials in Guizhou City, Mrs. Zhao was extremely majestic, she didn't say much, only said a few words, each gave a gift, and dispersed after eating.
When the wives of the officials returned home, they had to compare those gifts one by one, and soon found that all the officials who worked diligently and worked hard these days had received gifts from their wives as jade ruyi.
And the wives of the officials who did perfunctory errands got ordinary capital tuyi.
The jade is also the heavy weapon of the country.
Regardless of the fact that Mrs. Zhao's son is now the number one in Guangnan and has deep roots, just because Mrs. Zhao herself is a first-class lady, and if she can get this gift from her, she can make those officials' wives suffer for many years.
And the wives who got the tuyi in the capital talked about it with their husbands with trepidation.
Within two days, something even more unstoppable happened.
Old Madam Zhao asked about the children of the ladies who had won the jade ruyi, and gathered the men of the right age in their families to conduct a martial arts competition.
The winner took away a BMW worth more than 1,000 gold on the spot.
This is not the end, Mrs. Zhao Wen Yan asked the ambition of the young man who won the championship, and heard that the other party planned to be admitted to the Jinshi, but the information in Guizhou was backward, there were not many famous teachers, and it was difficult to learn from the strengths of all families, so she wrote a letter of recommendation on the spot recommending him to study at the White Horse Academy in Beijing.
That's the world-famous White Horse Academy!
How many scholars dream of a rare place!
Everyone aspires to go to a high place, but it is still difficult for the scholars of Quang Nam to go to the center of power.
Liangguang has always been called the "land of barbarians" by the Central Plains, and Guizhou is more depressed than Guangzhou. Although he is a big state, he is not as good as Guangzhou in terms of commerce, culture and education. The students' contact horizons are different, the professors are different, and the atmosphere of education is different, and the scholars of Guizhou are naturally weaker when they enter Beijing to take the exam, and it has always been difficult to win a place in the Jinshi seat.
But now it is just to please Mrs. Zhao, and it is so simple to enter the White Horse Academy where "classmates are all jinshi, and they have cool umbrellas up and down"!
How well should the ancestral grave be buried to emit such a round and thick green smoke!
An official who has been slick for many years, he is even more shrewd in calculating accounts. There are one and there are two, although not everyone can enter the White Horse Academy, but Mrs. Zhao has been in the capital for many years, and she takes out something casually, if she can hit herself, it will be considered a great luck.
