Closed two down
Closure (2 bottom)
There were no servants in the lobby, and the three newly appointed lords each had a table and a chair, and they were busy with their own affairs.
Father You cautiously smiled, trying to come forward to say hello first, but he was afraid of disturbing the adults' official business. The footsteps moved several times past the center of the lobby and then retreated in a stumbling manner.
According to the practice of the Great Song Dynasty, the old man should deal with civil affairs in the second hall. When dealing with prisons and lawsuits, they will sit upright in the lobby, and the door will be open for onlookers to show that the handling is fair and honest. If you are a friend who knows and friends come to visit, you will naturally arrange to sit down in the side hall to serve tea.
Master You and others neither sue nor sue, and have no friendship with Chen Longfu and others, so they can't find an opening sentence. For a while, I was in the lobby, neither advancing nor retreating.
When I was panicking, I suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door. Two soldiers with swords hurriedly broke in, leaned into the ear of the officer on the left, and whispered a few words. Before he finished speaking, he heard the official on the left "snap" on the table and scolded loudly: "Since you are the centurion of the volunteer soldiers of Dayuan, what else is it like to drag it out, and cut off your head directly!" ”
"Order!" The two soldiers bowed and trotted out of the hall. After a while, there was a hoarse cry of injustice outside. With the sound of a urging drum, the shouting of grievances quietly subsided. Several soldiers presented a tray covered with a white cloth, and at the edges, there was a large red patch.
The faces of the gentry suddenly lost their blood.
Businessmen have always liked to get an official coat to elevate their status. First, it is convenient to bargain with local officials when they offer and accept bribes, and second, official positions also have a certain deterrent effect on local ruffians and tax collectors. Therefore, after the Pu brothers dedicated Quanzhou to the Mongols, the gentry in the city donated the official positions of the Mongols. Family industries such as You, Ma, Li, Tian, and Sai are relatively large, and the identity of the donation is not only a centurion. Master You clearly remembered that before the army entered the city, the official official titles of Master Li and Master Tian were both Dayuan Thousand Households, and the two masters of Ma and Sai were higher than themselves, and the righteous army of Ten Thousand Households was false.
Master You lowered his head, only feeling that his heart was ordinary, and he almost jumped out of his throat. With the color of his clothes and his understanding of the official system of the Great Song Dynasty, he could roughly estimate the names of the adults in front of him. Sitting in the middle of the official document, the one who ignores everything should be the prefect Chen, and the one who looks like a profiteer with a smile on the right is the household member Wailang, who is in charge of all the customs affairs of the City Bo Division and the Great Song Dynasty. And the few words sitting on the left head cost a life, none other than the legendary King Liu Yan.
I only hated my own group of ghosts, and refused to hide it at home, knowing the name of King Liu Yan, and took the initiative to send it to him. This is indeed self-defeating, thinking of this, Master You's knees couldn't get up anymore, and he knelt down with an ordinary sound. The gentry who came with him saw Master You suddenly kneeling, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he knelt on the ground one after another.
Chen Longfu, who was buried in the table, smiled secretly, raised his head slowly, and asked in surprise: "Who are you kneeling, do you have grievances and need this official to make decisions for you?" ”
"No, don't dare, grass, grass people, grass people......" Master You, who has always been able to speak well, stammered, and didn't spit out a complete sentence for a long time. However, the old man who came with him was bold, stopped the old man You's words, and said in a slightly blunt official dialect: "We are a resident merchant in the city, and on behalf of the city business, we have made a special trip to visit the lord and listen to what the lord has taught me Quanzhou merchants!"
"Oh, a few fathers have hearts, too!" Chen Longfu pushed the scroll in front of him to the side, and in a faint tone, he couldn't tell whether it was sarcasm or praise.
"No, don't dare, the grass people are just doing their part!" Master Li agreed loudly, took the opportunity to straighten his waist, and revealed the pattern on the official uniform.
Chen Longfu smiled again, as if he had just noticed everyone's dress today, his tone suddenly became very polite, he smiled and gestured, and said: "It turns out that everyone is famous, and the official is negligent, please get up quickly, come here, take a seat!" ”
In the side hall, more than thirty samurai with swords ran out, and more than a dozen chairs were carried by their hands and feet, and placed them behind the squires. When Master Li heard this, he suddenly heard someone coughing lightly, turned around, and saw the big cannibal Saeed next to him constantly coloring everyone, and the corners of his eyes twitched like crazy in the direction of Liu Zijun's seat.
It was like a basin of cold water poured on the top of his head, and Master Li knelt down straight again. In his heart, he secretly scolded Chen Longfu in the hall for being vicious, and actually killed people with a smile. King Liu Yan was staring at the side, if his group admitted that they had an official position in the Great Song Dynasty, they would have to put a charge on everyone for not doing their best for the country.
"Everyone is a colleague of the Great Song Dynasty, how can I kneel down to this official, come here, quickly help them up for me!" Chen Longfu's face sank, and he pointed at everyone and shouted.
"Yes!" The samurai agreed, quickly walked behind the gentry, and stretched out their hands to pull. The people were so frightened that they cried out one after another, and they would not get up from the ground when they died.
The most daring old man was very frightened away, and while kowtowing, he explained in a hurry: "No, don't dare." The fame of grass, grass people, etc., are all donated. When, when it can't be true, no, whether it's the Great Song Dynasty, yet, or the Northern Yuan! ”
"Guys, that's not right. Since he is wearing the official uniform of the Great Song Dynasty, he is an official of the Great Song Dynasty, even if he cannot serve the country, there is no reason to turn around and change into the official uniform of the Great Song Dynasty. Everyone is a businessman, and we all know the word integrity. Becoming an official of the Great Song Dynasty is equivalent to selling this life to the Great Song Dynasty. In the blink of an eye, if it is sold to Dayuan again, can it be that in this Quanzhou City, can one goods be sold to two at the same time? Du Gui's voice was not high, but every word was stuck on reason.
Everyone turned their heads with red faces and saw Du Gui's fleshy little eyes, shooting out a knife-like light. Thinking about what has been done in the past few years, whether from an official point of view or from a business point of view, it is indeed not on the table. I didn't know how to answer for a while, so I didn't know how to answer, and I pinned all my eyes on the faces of the gentry who took the lead.
"This, this, this was a moment of confusion, a moment of confusion. Don't blame adults, don't blame! After thinking about it for a long time, Hu Shang Saide finally thought of a statement that he thought was appropriate, and complained with a smile.
Chen Longfu smiled and groaned without speaking. He hadn't intended to embarrass these businessmen. Kneeling among the gentry under the hall, there were all kinds of merchants from all over the world, and they didn't care if their homes were occupied by others, and it was unrealistic and delusional to ask them to be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty. But if we don't beat down the arrogance of these people today, we don't know if they will cause any more trouble in the future under the coercion and temptation of the Mongols. That's why he let go and let Liu Zijun and Du Gui do it.
"What a momentary confusion!" Seeing that Du Gui squeezed everyone with his words, Liu Zijun knew that he should appear next, snorted coldly, picked up the teaglass, and put it heavily on the table. "You were confused for a while, so you helped the Pu brothers kill more than 3,000 members of the Great Song royal family. I don't know if the next time the Mongols come again, this confusion will become an excuse for you in front of the Mongols. If the Mongolian soldiers outside the city are powerful, will you be confused for a while, ask for our lives, and then put on the official uniform of the Northern Yuan Dynasty hidden at home, and ask for merit in front of the new Taishou! ”
"I guess that's inevitable. As a businessman, he is most afraid of conscience. I have done a conscientious business once, and I will definitely do it next time! Du Gui's words are full of mockery of everyone's dishonesty.
"My lord, my lord, the grass people did donate officials, just for the convenience of walking, I can't be true!" Master You, who was frightened, shouted loudly. The last vestige of confidence in his heart was also scared away, and he lay on the floor, his head banging. The other gentry were also discouraged, or kowtowed like garlic, or collapsed to the ground, like a lamb to be slaughtered.
Chen Longfu sighed and slowly turned out from behind the table. He lifted them up and pressed them to their chairs.
Speaking from the heart, when this Quanzhou is too guarded, he is one hundred and twenty unwilling. But he couldn't give advice in front of Prime Minister Wen and feel the taste of strategizing, and it took up a lot of time to criticize political opponents in the newspapers. But Wen Tianxiang couldn't help but "coerce and entic", so he had to come to be the first local officer in the area occupied by the Broken Army. But at the same time, Chen Longfu also understood in his heart that if Quanzhou was run well, the Broken Army would have a stable source of funds and materials, the products could be sent out as soon as possible, and the soldiers on the front line could be armed faster. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the war with the Northern Yuan Dynasty was unclear for a while, holding Quanzhou, I also thought that Yu held the money bag of the entire Great Song Dynasty, and the voice of the people in Prime Minister Wen's department could be more reasonable. Therefore, beating, pulling, threatening, appeasement, all kinds of means, before taking office, have been repeatedly rehearsed in his heart, after all, only for one purpose, to run this commercial port well, so that Prime Minister Wen in front has no worries.
"My lord, where is my seat in front of you?" Several businessmen were shocked, slid down from their chairs trembling slightly, and said in fear.
"But it doesn't hurt to sit, under the rule of the Broken Army, the ritual of kneeling has been abolished. If you are Chinese, except for the ancestors of heaven and earth, no one has the right to bow down to you! Chen Longfu waved his hand and said solemnly. It's just that you don't wear the official uniform of the Great Song Dynasty, Lord Liu is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, and I can't see anyone wearing official uniforms, but I refuse to be loyal to the country! ”
"That's, that's!" Everyone agreed in a hurry, and they agreed to whatever Chen Longfu asked, and they no longer spoke through their brains.
"As for the official uniforms of the Great Generals who are hiding at home......."
"Take it off, take it off, we'll find it out when we go back, burn it, burn it!" Everyone replied in a gossipy manner, lest it would be too late to answer and cause Chen Longfu's displeasure.
"Alas, whether to take off or not depends on the meaning of the court!" , Liu Zijun stared at everyone's necks and said coldly.
"What do you mean by that, my lord?" A few people who had donated to higher positions jumped out of their chairs and asked stubbornly.
"Zijun, Ziju, why bother them, they are also in front of the military might, and they have lost their footing for a while." Chen Longfu turned his head and waved his hand at Liu Zijun again and again, signaling him not to push people too much.
"Lord Chen, have you forgotten the dispute in the court before you came!" Liu Zijun did not give Chen Longfu face at all, it was his duty to eradicate the traitor, and Chen Longfu was the chief official and had no right to interfere.
"Mo Fei, Mo Fei, the emperor refuses to let us go!" A few merchants asked with sincere trepidation. Thinking about the bloody night of killing the Zhao family, beads of sweat fell down from the corners of the forehead one by one.
The fact is that without the support of his own people, Pu Shougeng did not dare to enter Hong Kong behind closed doors, nor did he dare to kill all the people who supported the Zhao family.
"Alas, you should know that Prime Minister Wen is magnanimous, since the left wing army has sacrificed Quanzhou, the Pu brothers are punished, and Prime Minister Wen Cheng does not want to pursue the crime of killing the Zhao royal family by Er and other accomplices. has fought hard in the court and saved everyone. But you have become officials of the Great Yuan, and the evidence of thieves is clearly written on the list of Quanzhou officials......! Chen Longfu deliberately slowed down his speech, and his eyes kept drifting towards Liu Zijun.
"My lord, I'm a donor official, and I have no real power!" The gentry eagerly defended themselves, walked up to Liu Zijun, and made a gesture, "My lord, Beiyuan didn't give me any authority except for asking me to pay the money. This is a thief's move, and it is also helpless! ”
"In this way, it was the Pu brothers who forced you to lose the silk buying official!" Du Gui's voice came from behind him, and it sounded like heaven.
The gentry immediately found their confidant, and several clever gentry immediately rushed over and kept making accusations at Du Gui, "Yes, yes, we were forced." He Pu Jiaqiang buys and sells, bullying and dominating the market! ”
"That's the case, I don't know what the price of the official diploma sold by the Pu family at a high price!" Du Gui smiled so much that the fat on his face trembled, and asked along with everyone's words.
"Variety, by grade. It is probably that the centurion of the rebel army is worth 1,000 taels, 1,000 households are worth 10,000 taels, and 10,000 households are more than 100,000 taels. The Pu brothers said that Quanzhou is rich, so the market is high. But we all know that on the side of Lord Wang of Fuzhou, the price is much lower than this, and the rebate will be given! Said stepped forward and reported loudly, doing everything he could to discredit the Pu brothers.
"Oh, that being the case, the official wants you to return the goods, are you willing?" Du Gui smiled and thought of a way to get out for everyone.
"Yes, yes, everything is arranged by adults!" When everyone heard that they could escape the court's accountability, they didn't care how the officials of the Song Dynasty could retire from the official diploma of the Great Yuan, and replied one after another.
"It's just that this method of returning officials is different from ordinary returns. Return, do you want to return your money, do you want to retire? This official can't return everyone's silver taels, but he needs everyone to buy back the positions on the list! Du Gui laughed so hard that his fat body trembled, and he took out a list of official positions from the table and held it in front of everyone.
Chen Longfu shook his head and walked away with his hands behind his back. He knew that this weird Du Gui with a belly of elves had some bad ideas. Anyway, what Du Gui is doing does not conflict with what he thinks, so he doesn't interfere.
The gentry opened the list with their names written on them, as well as the credit under their names, and looked away in shame. To be honest, the Pu brothers are fair, and what "contributions" they have made to Beiyuan are basically recorded. In black and white, this makes everyone want to hide it, but they can't hide it.
It was still Said's cleverness, he covered the roster with his big hand, and said with a salivating face, "My lord, please show me the way, we will listen to you." If we can buy the name back from this list, I'm willing to give it all! ”
"Give it all, you don't have to!" Du Gui narrowed his eyes and calculated the ability of everyone to bear, "In this way, when you spend as much money as you buy the official position of Dayuan, you will spend as much money as you want to return the official diploma." Let's press the old account, Tong Suo is not deceived! How about handing over a sum of money, and I'll erase one of the names from this list? ”
"This?" Everyone was stunned on the spot. A few of the gentry who bought the official positions of the "Great Yuan Righteous Army Ten Thousand Households" turned their faces to ashes, as if someone had cut their flesh with a knife, and even their lips turned blue-black.
"Isn't this price fair?" Du Gui asked with a smile.
Liu Zijun coughed just right, grabbed the fire pick in front of him, and played slowly.
"Fair, fair, the little one immediately ordered someone to go back to get the money, no, the silver, the silver is enough!" A few people who had only bought the position of centurion replied in a jump. I was annoyed by the low official position, but now I am glad that my official position is small enough.
"What about you, Master You, Master Ma, Master Sai!" Du Gui held the inventory book, one by one, as if he had known a few old men for a long time. "In your family, there are a lot of people who buy officials, hey, so let's do it, I'll buy one get one free. You redeem more than 1,000 households, and for every 1,000 households, I will return you one by one! ”
"Great, my lord" Master You wiped the sweat on his head and bowed down to receive the order, "Your Excellency is wise!" ”
"I, a man who has been through business, know the hardships of the people. If the Yuan army has the ability to fight back to Quanzhou, you should surrender. Take their office, and do things for them. After the army came back, I will help everyone go through the resignation procedures, and Tong Su will not be bullied. It's still at this price, let's be born again, and ripe! Du Gui closed the inventory with a smile and walked to his seat. On the bookcase in front of his seat, Quanzhou's industry, treasury, and market park, countless accounts are waiting for him to clean up. The ordnance, tents, armor, and countless expenses of the Broken Army were waiting for him to be pacified. Du Gui knew that with this money, the equipment of crossbows and artillery would be accelerated, and Fujian, which had been war-torn for a long time, would be able to get on the right track as soon as possible.
As for the hateful and contemptuous gazes that looked at him behind him, Du Gui couldn't care about it, and he didn't care.
