Chapter 77
The relationship between the Yu family and the Yan family is good, although Yan Qi is not a little brainless in some aspects, but I have to say that the friend Yu Tao he made is quite beneficial. Yan Suzhi studied hard when he was a child, and he didn't have much time to play with his peers in the Yu family. But Yu Tao is more realistic, unlike Zhao Zhong, who bullied and bullied Yan Suzhi when he had nothing to do, Yu Tao saw Yan Suzhi and would give him some pointers.
Although Yan Suzhi has little contact with the Yu family, he is still very oriented to the Yu family. When I heard that I was depressed, I couldn't get better. After dinner, when the slaves and maids were withdrawn, Jiang Shi rinsed his mouth and washed his hands, and asked him: "Lang Jun is worried about something?" "Wasn't it already agreed? The situation is much better than what Gan County Decree said.
Yan Suzhi sighed: "Yu Jiashiro, it seems that it is not very good to be injured after being rebellious." "This is not good in many ways, not only physically, but also career. Although there is a father who is a great general, this failure will always be delayed for a few years.
Jiang said: "It's so far away, I don't know what is going on now." ”
Because of the distance, Yan Suzhi agreed with Jingzhong before leaving Beijing to deliver the news once every half a month, and Yan Xiaozhi sent someone to deliver the letter in Beijing, and Yan Suzhi would also give feedback to Jingli some of his own situation. At the same time, Yan Suzhi didn't count on his eldest brother, but also maintained close contact with his good friend Tang Yi. His teachers and friends, he has not forgotten either.
I want to hear from Kyori, and not so quickly. Yan Su said: "I'll write a letter, and I'll ask by the way next time." ”
Jiang Shi said helplessly: "It can only be like this." I heard that the general's family law is quite strict, and although his children may not be all handsome, they are not incompetent. ”
Yan Suzhi said: "On the battlefield, it changes rapidly, and there are any situations. ”
Yan Shenyou couldn't help but nod when he heard this. She nodded, and Liulang also nodded, and the gloom in the hearts of Yan Suzhi and his wife disappeared. Yan Su said: "What are you nodding?" Do you understand it again? ”
Yan Shenyou said: "Those who have the ability must have luck." ”
Yan Suzhi and Jiang actually agreed: "That's right." ”
Jiang even said of Yan Suzhi: "When we leave Beijing, we should make a divination." ”
Yan Su said: "It's not too late to come. ”
Yan Shenyou watched the two of them openly engage in feudal superstitious activities, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time. Strangely said: "Why divination? ”
Jiang said: "If you don't make a decision, of course you have to make a divination." ”
Yan Shenyou: ...... I often hear people say that Zhao Kuangyin is a fortune teller, Zhu Yuanzhang is a fortune teller, and he has been doing it for a long time, is it possible that it is true? It turned out that it wasn't made up for the emperors to paint gold dust when they were revising history? How about the old man? Isn't this the preserve of housewives?
She had seen Jiang Shi take divination and pit the three rooms, but it was deep-rooted, and she thought it was a means of housewives. Moreover, she always thought that her mother did not believe in superstition, but just took advantage of it. Now looking at the superstitious tools like looking at the savior's eyes, what kind of trouble is this?
Looking at Yan Suzhi who was also very interested, even Liulang next to him asked curiously: "Daddy, Auntie, what is this going to do?" ”
Yan Suzhi also gave him an answer, saying "should be in awe".
Yan Shenyou watched his father and mother turn his younger brother into the point of no return of feudal superstition like the backbone of a pyramid scheme, and he was speechless for a while. Yan Suzhi washed his hands, burned incense, and divined three hexagrams, the first hexagram he contributed to Yu Zhuang very righteously, and what he got was a big murderer.
When Jiang Shi saw the result of the murder, his face turned white with fright, and he didn't know where to put his eyes: "This ...... This ...... "She thought that Yan Suzhi was a matter of Guiyi County."
Yan Suzhi sighed: "I only hope that Yu Si can pass this level safely." ”
When Jiang heard that it was Bu's depression, he immediately felt relieved, and he was relieved to think of such unkindness, and swallowed it in his throat again, almost suffocating to death.
Yan Suzhi recounted the second hexagram, and his expression became more and more serious. Hugh said that Jiang's was Yan Shenyou, and he was also moved by this atmosphere, and couldn't help but hold his breath. The slaves and maids in the four places are all indigenous, with the same thoughts as the master and his wife, and they all stand with their hands down, and their hearts are worried.
The second hexagram was still a bad omen, and Jiang asked in a trembling voice, "Why is this?" ”
Yan Suzhi clenched his fists, his knuckles were clenched, and his voice trembled a little: "I'm afraid of the world, I'm going to be restless." ”
Jiang's upper and lower teeth tapped lightly, making a subtle "click" sound. Yan Shenyou cast a strange look for some reason, this world is restless, didn't he guess it a long time ago? Otherwise, why do you have to choose thousands of people to come to righteousness?
Jiang thought about it: The world is in chaos, can I be safe? The vast majority of normal natives are not happy when they think of turmoil.
Moreover, because the Jiang family went through the Bingyin Rebellion, although the Jiang family himself did not get involved, it was passed on by word of mouth in the family. Every time I sweep the sacrifice, I have to look at the spiritual grave of my aunt who has slipped away, and the shadow is not deep.
Yan Suzhi took a deep breath and then divined the third hexagram, but it was a good fortune.
Yan Suzhi relaxed from his shoulders to his waist, and Jiang Shi also smiled: "We're here, but it's smooth?" ”
Yan Suzhi nodded with satisfaction, Jiang was full of enthusiasm again, watching Yan Suzhi pick up her son, but she herself looked at her daughter. found that Yan Shenyou looked like he was ignoring her, so he caught her to do some "popular science". Yan Shenyou was full of feudal superstitions by Amway, and was familiar with many anecdotes of the ancients in this regard, and also had a considerable understanding of various divination processes.
Believe it or not, but I know the great influence of feudal superstition on the indigenous people!
The well-educated Yan Suzhi and his wife are still like this, and looking at the slaves and maids around them because of their auspicious hexagram and honorable appearance, they will only be more superstitious than these two.
Yan Shenyou suddenly felt so tired
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Feudal superstitious activities are still beneficial, one divination, three trigrams and two evils, but Yan Suzhi and his wife finally reassured. Even the mood of the surrounding masses has stabilized. It is separated from the capital by 900 miles, or the difference in latitude, and the customs are different, so the climate is very unsuitable. Since Ah Zhu suddenly got peach blossom ringworm, various symptoms have appeared in the slaves and maids. It's a shame that there is a Lang Zhong who followed, and he also pulled a lot of medicinal materials, otherwise these diseases that are not adapted to water and soil will be enough to be busy for a long time.
For this reason, Wu Langzhong is now quite popular. Yan Suzhi also considered this problem and placed him in a small courtyard in the northeast corner of the front office. Across a small passage, it's Rokuro's residence. It's just that to go to the backyard, you have to go around and pass through two moon gates.
In any case, the front and backyard have some normal appearance, not like Gan Xian Ling is lonely in time and space. There are also two courtyards in the west of the former yali for He San and his subordinates to serve as dormitory lounges, and Fang Zhang's residence is in front of Wu Langzhong. Fang Zhang's family is in a village fifty miles away from the county seat, and every time he gets a fortune, he carries it all home, and when he arrives at home, his father and wife give him pocket money.
In the past, the Gan County Decree had to allocate money from the county's treasury (mainly the income from the farmland) to the above-mentioned people, and this level of wages was quite low - it was set several decades ago, and it was still the previous dynasty - and it had not been raised for so many years. The Gan County Order can't help but secretly give them a little increase, these are all financial burdens. Sometimes Gan County's order really can't increase his salary, so he gives them some of his own money.
Gan Xianling is a poor ghost, and he is still a kind-hearted poor ghost, so everyone has a hard time with him. Yan Suzhi is rich, his wife is richer than him, when he arrives, he will clean up the house first, and pay everyone salary, Fang Zhang, He San, each person has always money, He San's errand servants, one person and one Mo money.
Even the diet has improved, although Fang Zhang is still a little confused, he may not think that Yan Suzhi is a good person, but he also has to admit that since he came, everyone's life has been better. He San and his subordinates already felt that they had a head. Because of this, they have seriously given more real answers to many of Yan Suzhi's questions.
For example, Yan Suzhi asked: "I see that this place is poor, and I am willing to order and cherish the people's power." However, the walls of the city are all solemn, and the houses in the yamen are neat, but why is this? ”
Fang Zhangyi arched his hand and said: "It's sighing, the imperial court has a system, and anyone with a disability can be exempted from military service." ”
Yan Su said: "I naturally know this, right?!" ”
Fang Zhang saw that he reacted quickly, and he didn't necessarily fall down, but he was not disgusted, and seeing that his surprised appearance did not seem to be malicious, he said: "Exactly, many people even kill themselves in order to escape the conscription. ”
Yan Suzhi smiled bitterly: "According to the law, if you kill yourself to avoid levy, you will punish him for repairing the city wall." ”
Fang Zhang nodded and said, "Exactly." ”
He San said: "To tell you the truth, with Lang Jun, there are many people here, and the villain brought someone to arrest them." Gan Ling can't bear it, and we can't bear it. Gan Ling often said that it is not advisable to destroy limbs like this. He also said that he had caused the people to harm themselves, but he had not done a good job. and they had the right to do this repair as their requisition. Several more orders and exhortations were given to stop this trend. ”
Yan Su said: "This place is remote, and there are not many projects, how can you use so much labor?" ”
He San didn't dare to say anything, just look at Fang Zhang. Fang Zhang seemed to be unconscious, and said bluntly: "There are many hidden households, and the conscription that was originally on them will be counted on the heads of others." The county is big, so build a road, dig a ditch, and even send grain to the county...... There are too many of them, and they can't save anything. ”
Yan Suzhi frowned, these are all battles that should be served, how can they force the people to be like this? It seems that the situation of this hidden household is quite serious.
Waving his hand, he ordered He San to go to see the door, and the other party said: "Go to the study, you took the map and showed it to me." I brought these people, and there was no place to live in the city, and it was not a matter of pitching tents outside the city, so I saw where it was appropriate and how to get a place to live with them. ”
Guiyi County is vast and sparsely populated, even if it is around the county seat, it is not difficult to find a place to build a house. But Yan Suzhi wants to build a dock on this basis, and this location is more important.
He San listened from behind that he was going to build a house and settle the department, and said in his heart, it was time to do the same.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
However, it was said that Yan Suzhi finally chose a piece of feng shui treasure land for his own dock fort, which was completely in accordance with the standards for building a city. The so-called backed mountains and rivers, the terrain is open. Thirty miles east from the county seat, there is a barren wilderness. Behind it is a long stretch of mountains, which flows through the river of the county seat, and then flows east into the sea. Land...... Not very fertile.
When Lu Zhang, the head of the Lu family, went to the county government with the three families of cows, horses, and sheep to pay a visit, Yan Suzhi set up a banquet to entertain the four people, and asked them if there were people living in that area.
These four people were quite familiar with the local area, so Lu Zhanlai replied: "That area is not inhabited. "There is a law, the more you go to the beach, the more you feel that there is saline. So their land would rather be a little wester, a little farther from the sea. Yan Su Zhidao: "So, those wastelands are also uncultivated?" ”
Lu Zhan smiled and said, "Exactly." He was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a few strands of silver in his hair, but he looked handsome and elegant. Seeing that Yan Suzhi is also a rare beautiful man, he can't help but feel a little close. The Lu family was forced to move south, and now although they have earned a large number of businesses, and even the neighboring counties have a large area of his brother's property, they have left the center of power after all. What's even more uncomfortable is that even among the family, there are large and small invisible circles.
For example, Jiang, Chai, Zhou, Mi, Fan, etc., in Beijing, will not marry with these families in the south, such as the Lu family. It is even more difficult to squeeze into the officialdom of the capital and compete for a little right to speak. The Lu family is now the tallest with only four or five county orders, and if it goes up, it will be difficult to compete with others. Lu Zhan's father became the county guard, but because he couldn't do it for a long time, he died with hatred. When Lu Zhan heard that Yan Suzhi was coming, he thought that this was a great opportunity, and if he was introduced by this person, he might be able to break into the circle in the capital.
Listening to Yan Suzhi say: "In this way, I am relieved." Lu Zhan also smiled at the right time: "It's a wasteland, and there is no need to compensate." ”
Yan Suzhi said with a straight face: "I want to order them to open up the wasteland, otherwise where will these people go to find food?" My money is not enough. They were originally my family's subordinates, and it is also their proper duty to return to their old business. ”
Lu Zhan said: "Lang Jun thinks long-term. ”
The three families of cows, horses, and sheep waited for him to finish before they had a chance to speak. These four families are very proud of Gan County, and they are proud of Yan Suzhi, but they can't be proud. Lu Zhan's attitude played a very important role in this. Yan Suzhi could obviously see the subordination of these four families, so he asked everyone about the sages in Beijing, filial piety and the like. These Yan Suzhi capitals knew a rough idea from Fang Zhang, but now when they compare them, the list is a little different.
Yan Suzhi also noted these differences.
After chatting, they were invited to the table, and they were ordered to dance and play.
Cows, horses, and sheep were fascinated, and their bodies were already shaking to the beat. Lu Zhan squinted his eyes slightly, and he was silent. After the song, Lu Zhan said: "I don't expect to hear this sound again!" ”
Yan Suzhi understood and led the topic to the old affairs of the Lu family, calling the Lu family the "old family". Lu Zhan was very happy, and the cows, horses, and sheep were quite uncomfortable -- they had changed their information through bribery and other means before the Ganxian Commander took office, and pretended to be a scholar. Yan Suzhi's attitude made them feel like they were on pins and needles, so they were very honest.
Yan Suzhi just wanted to cold them. The nobles had privileges, and the economic privileges were obvious. Yan Suzhi had already made up his mind to let the three of them bleed. If they know each other, they will honestly spit out more hidden households, but if they are still so stubborn, I'm sorry, Yan Suzhi will pick off their vests.
Yan Suzhi has a mother like the Chu family, and a little spy like Yan Shenyou, who is no stranger to genealogy, so he only talks to Lu Zhan about the genealogy of the scholar family. Hearing that Lu Zhan's wife's surname was Yin, he asked, "Is it Shunning Yin?" ”
Lu Zhan smiled: "Exactly." ”
Yan Suzhi said: "I think so, although I am young and know little, but Neizi knows a lot from the old clan in the world." ”
Lu Zhan glanced at the cows, horses, and sheep, and said with a smile: "Lady Jiang, the name of righteousness is known to the world. I wonder if Humble Jing is lucky enough to visit the lady? ”
Yan Suzhi said with a smile: "Neiko is alone here, and she is really lonely. ”
The agreement is reached, listen to the song and watch the dance.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Out of the county office, the cows, horses, and sheep held their stomachs, and the head of the Niu family said hatefully: "The erector dares!" ”
Lu Zhan said leisurely: "We have been living in a remote place for a long time, and the Chinese people in the world may not know about us. Yan Ling is the son of the old hussar, the nephew of the current Taiwei, and the younger brother of Jingzhao. How don't you dare? ”
The trio is silenced.
Before boarding the car, the head of the Ma family asked, "What does Langjun mean?" ”
Lu Zhan smiled: "Let's go, go to tea with me." "To be honest, he doesn't look down on these guys, but people can't be too alone, there have to be a few little brothers, right?
The Lu family manor is fifty miles away from the county seat, and it was dark when they arrived. I saw the fire of Lujiawu Fort from afar, and when I arrived at the door, I saw a young man in Tsing Yi standing at the head of the door, and the cows, horses, and sheep hurriedly got out of the car. The young man greeted him and shouted, "Daddy." He saluted with the three of them, and the three of them returned the salute.
Lu Zhan said: "You go and rest." ”
Lu Zhan set up a banquet to entertain these three people, and said: "Singing, dancing, drinking and eating, after all, is not as good as Yan Ling. ”
Wine and food are full, and then the discussion is discussed. Cows, horses, and sheep complained to Lu Zhan together, saying that they were arrogant, and begged Lu Zhan to speak on their behalf.
Lu Zhan said: "Do you really don't know, or do you really don't know?" ”
The three were silent.
Lu Zhan said: "He came here just to avoid the limelight, and after the incident, he went back to his capital and became his young son." But when he was there, whoever made him unhappy, don't think about getting good. People from such backgrounds are all arrogant, how can they not want political achievements? I advise you to be careful when you take in people again, and take back those who have been willingly taken back. ”
The three of them sighed in unison.
Lu Zhanxin said, you are going to make trouble again, and there are more unfortunate things. But he didn't break it, leaving the three of them to live at home and return home tomorrow morning.
sent everyone away, but he went to the lady Yin's place. Yin had already taken off his makeup, and when he saw him coming, he asked, "How?" ”
Lu Zhan said: "Vote for your post tomorrow and Yan Ling's wife." ”
Yin Shi said happily: "I often hear people say that Jiang women are rare, and it is fortunate to be able to see them today," and pouted again, "It's a pity that I married the Yan family, and I don't know if I can still have some style in that people's family for all these years?" ”
Lu Zhan scolded: "Stupid! ”
The Yin clan was stunned and did not dare to speak. Lu Zhan sighed: "You don't care about your surname, this Langjun is no better than Gan Ling." ”
"If they are the same, why do you need to go and see them?"
"If only you knew!"
Yin muttered, "You only have the ability to me!" Anyway, I won't argue with you, I heard that you left those accommodations? But what kind of constitution, their wife, can go together? ”
Lu Zhan said: "They are just afraid that they will be sad. ”
Yin said with a smile: "In this way, this new order still has some eyesight, and he can recognize Xibei's goods." "I want to turn over my name again, because I am afraid that I will forget it the next day. Lu Zhan also went by her.
On the second day, Yin's post was sent to Jiang's hand, and Jiang flipped through the post and saw that the cow, horse, sheep, and three families also sent posts. But he only returned to Yin's and made an appointment with her.
When Yin's ox cart arrived at the city gate, he saw Yan Suzhi's notice: Encourage reclamation.
It also gave preferential policies stipulated by the state: no tax for five years, and half of the tax for five to fifteen years. As long as you declare it, this ownerless field is yours, and if you dare to report it, you will dare to admit it. And said that he would lead by example, circle 1,000 acres of barren land, and cultivate it first! The boundaries of the land have been defined and have been registered.
Yin listened to the preaching of the gongs and drums of the servants outside, and couldn't help but want to laugh: The land you circled can be born. I also think that this new county order is different from the Gan County order, and the Gan County order is to the county, first to rectify the internal affairs, and then to include the hidden households, and then to go into the mountains to find the mountain people. I don't know what Yan County is going to do next.
If Lu Zhan was here, he would definitely scold Yan Suzhi for being cunning. What is Wasteland? By default, anything that is not in the national register is wasteland. Naturally, the hidden field is also considered a wasteland. Lu Zhan was ready to bleed, and a hidden household of one or two hundred made Yan Suzhi's face. Although there will be some rules, such as officials are not allowed to take natives as concubines in the jurisdiction. To a certain extent, officials are also prohibited from buying any property in their jurisdiction. But the situation in this dynasty is somewhat special. This is the family, and it is their children who are officials, and their children are all over the place, and the fields are also all over the ...... There's something inexplicable about it. In the past, the ban was more strictly enforced, and the latter was basically abolished.
Yin didn't expect this layer, and went to the county government with a heart full of novelty. The county government didn't open the main gate for her, she entered through the corner gate. Yin couldn't help but be depressed! She only said that she should enter through the main entrance, but she didn't expect the county order to be proud! But when she thought of Jiang, she suppressed her anger again. When she got to the backyard, she was asked to get out of the car in front of the door.
Yin was secretly angry, and took the maid's hand and walked in, and his subordinates pressed the maid's arm blue.
Along the way, I saw that the slaves and maids of the Yan family all had laws, and even their clothes seemed to be a little different from the local ones. When they arrived at the main hall, the Jiang family did not greet them, and the Yin family had to step forward by themselves. When he entered the door, he threw away all his anger. Jiang is a beauty, and she has a good complexion recently, and she has a sense of solemnity that cannot be offended, and even the clothes on her body seem to have some precious light. Yin couldn't help but feel a little cramped, she found that Jiang's jewelry seemed to be more beautiful than her own, and the jacquard patterns on her clothes seemed to be more elegant. The incense in the incense burner also tastes very elegant.
Jiang's tone was very calm, and he stretched out his hand to invite Yin to sit on the guest seat, and said with a smile: "The lady has worked hard from afar. ”
Yin said: "The lady came from afar, I don't know if I can still get used to it?" ”
Jiang said: "Peace of mind, where can you not get used to it?" ”
Yin's only way, and heard the above call: "Ah Shou." When I looked up, I saw a little girl coming out from behind the screen, with a red jacket and a green skirt, and a bright face reflected in the room. I can't help but think, which one is this?
