Grandpa was a lovely old man who was understanding.

Yu Zhi stayed in Ankang Lane all day long, often chatting with him for tea and chatting, and calling his grandfather affectionately one by one. Xiao Kun knew it, but he couldn't help but ask nothing, and enjoyed the fun of wrapping his knees with a smile all day long.

He was playing with the flowers and plants and fiddling with the strange stones, but the old man was not ignorant of the situation. Occasionally, he would have some seemingly unintentional words, but they could make Zong Zhengke and Yan Yuzhen think about it repeatedly. Moreover, the elderly will also go out to meet friends and consolidate some friendships.

Later, at a meeting with Zong Zhengxiu, Zong Zhengke mentioned this matter. Zong Zhengxiu said that his grandfather has a great talent! If we can get my grandfather as the first assistant, and a few capable cabinet ministers to assist, the chaos in the country will definitely be reversed!

It snowed heavily, and Zong Zhengke basically stayed at home, and fixed a few items every day - worshipping Buddha, practicing knives, and accompanying his grandfather. The grandparents read books together, chatted about the current situation, and gathered around a small stove during the meal, which was very pleasant.

I don't know when, Yan Yuzhi began to read books under Xiao Kun's guidance. Zong Zhengke asked him what books he had read twice, and Yu Zhen said with a bitter face What kind of history are they, the biographies of emperors and courtiers, and so on. His grandfather also had the military books he wanted to read, and he also told them to him, but they were only used for adjustment.

Zong Zhengke was impressed in his heart. She occasionally goes to Tongbai Lane to visit her grandfather, but because Zong Zhengxiu has not officially recognized her grandfather so far, she is not good at bringing jade to meet her. She understood her father's concerns that her step-grandmother's family had to be cut off from the truth.

These **** halls are very lively. The Empress Dowager Jade suffered from the lack of silver, and I don't know whose Jian Yiyi actually acquiesced in using silver to buy the title - the earl chose at will. This matter is high-sounding, and it is dressed in a coat of "the minister actively donated to understand the difficulties of the court, and the court reciprocated Li with a knighthood".

Since the concubine of the Emperor Xiao lost her son. The elder Zongzheng Pavilion changed the direction of the wind and vowed to support the Queen Mother to the end. In addition to the Yu family, the Zongzheng family is the most generous family. Before and after, he took out 500,000 taels of silver and bought as many as twelve titles from the first class to the third class. It can be seen that these titles are cheap - scarce things are expensive.

Zong Zhengjin is in this lineage, he didn't ask for a knighthood himself, he bought a viscount for Zong Zhenglun, and Zong Zhengfa also has a baron. This time. Tongbai Lane is so lively. It's fun to have fun. However, Zong Zheng intends to split up the family after the year, so that the two sons can be separated and separated.

After days of heavy snowfall, Zong Zhengke was worried about his grandfather's seriously injured body. I went to visit almost every day. She observed her grandfather's expression, and his grandfather was just ordinary and not very happy that his two sons could get knighthoods. On the contrary, I am often worried about the increasingly erosive situation.

When the grandfather and grandson talked behind closed doors, the grandfather revealed that he had left a lot of money behind his family. In the future, it will be repaired to Zongzheng. In addition, part of Xiao Wenying's expensive dowry was also collected in his hands and had to be taken out.

Zong Zhengjin is still thin, and his eyes light up when he mentions Zong Zheng's cultivation. Full of anticipation. Every now and then, Zong Zhengke is a little apologetic. But she can only endure it, and I am afraid that some things will be kept secret for the rest of her life. It is not appropriate to make it public, let alone really recognize the ancestors and return to their ancestors.

Chinese New Year's Eve is just a few days away. Follow the rules. Zong Zhengke must go back to Tongbai Lane for the New Year, and Jade cannot continue to stay in Ankang Lane. Xiao Kun comforted the sisters and brothers and asked them to go by themselves. He said meaningfully: "There will be nothing wrong with establishing oneself and establishing one's family and even the country with the way of benevolence and filial piety." ”

So in recent days, the Taoist Buddhist temples outside Beijing have begun to give porridge and medicine. The Empress Dowager Jade knew that this was a good opportunity to buy the hearts of the people, so she ordered the Yu family to also open more than a dozen porridge shops. Naturally, the elder Zongzheng Pavilion could not be left behind, and in addition to the porridge shop, he also let several pharmacies under his own control open free clinics -- the poor people did not need money to see a doctor, and the cost of medicine was halved, or even given away for nothing.

Earlier, Zong Zhengke discussed with his second uncle and grandfather, and secretly purchased and stored a large amount of grain, rice, oil, salt, cotton cloth and cotton clothes. Now that prices in central Beijing are soaring, more and more grain merchants, rice merchants, and cloth merchants are watching from the sidelines, waiting for the price to rise to a higher level. Zongzheng is no exception.

In this regard, Yan Yuzhi, who knew some inside information, was a little unbearable. In Yanlin County, the people affected by the disaster were resettled quite steadily. Of course, this is due to the fact that most of the soldiers and generals of the Yan family army are from Yanlin County, and there is also the reason why An Guogong and his family have a lot of pity for the people.

But fortunately, in other parts of the country, I am afraid that only the people in Suzhou, Hangzhou, Yunnan and Hangzhou can spend the winter in peace. Most of the rest of the stricken lands are afraid that they will soon be starved to death.

For this reason, Xiao Kun deliberately gave Yan Yuzhen a separate lesson. Zong Zhengke didn't know what his grandfather told Jade, but since then Jade has never objected to these things.

-- The labor pains before the birth were accompanied by bleeding that did not stop.

It's just that he was still unhappy looking at the jade, and Zong Zhengke still couldn't hold back. She told him that she couldn't do anything on the surface, but in fact, she was already trying her best to help the affected people through some channels.

There was a contingent of the outcasts under the banner of "King of Benevolence", and they did not need to capture towns to have enough food, cloth, and armament. They will use these life-saving and life-saving materials to save the displaced people while also strengthening themselves until they become an invincible and unstoppable torrent that will wash away the corrupt old dynasty!

The officials and lords of the court don't care how the people survive the winter, and the lives of those untouchables are worse than grass mustard in their eyes. The question they pondered was, if titles could be bought and sold, what about official positions? The Queen Mother, she has no money, what can she do? Everyone is looking forward to it tacitly.

As the New Year approaches, the disaster is intensifying, and the civil unrest is on the rise. On the national public opinion map of the Ministry of War, there are more than 20 prefectures and cities that have been occupied by the rebellious people.

Even in the capital, there seems to be a faint evil wind blowing. There are more and more wealthy businessmen and gentry whose homes have been robbed. There are already groups of affected people scurrying in the streets and alleys, and there is a mysterious organization called the "Molian Sect" faintly flashing among them.

So the Empress Dowager Jade urgently needs more silver, and she can't expand the army if she suppresses the rebels? These soldiers are not allowed to be paid? Don't use large rewards to envelop officials who are already complaining?

There is no way, the official position can also spend money to donate. Above the court, there was almost no opposition. Everybody wants to profit from it, and everybody can profit from it.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, when Zong Zhengjin heard Zong Zhenglun and Old Lady Ren mention that they wanted to donate a higher official position, they angrily lifted the banquet.

Zong Zhengke sat quietly in the banquet, surrounded by the Zong Zheng sisters who had risen due to the promotion of their elders to knighthood. People's hearts will always be insufficient, just like the Zongzheng sisters, they are no longer concerned about the ones they used to live in Yuyan County. (To be continued.) )
