Chapter 43: Still Not Good
"Daddy, Li Sanjian already has a wife and a concubine, and making Xiang'er her concubine is too wronged for her? Xiang'er is still sad at the moment. ”
After Li Sanjian left with the deed in his hand, Chen Yide persuaded Chen Guangbi, who was still unwilling.
"Grievance?" Chen Guangbi said angrily when he heard this: "My Chen family can get to this field and have this family business today, is my Chen family's daughter less wronged?" Why did it fall on Xiang'er, and you felt wronged? ”
"What Daddy said is that the child knows that he is wrong." Chen Yide saw that his father was angry, so he hurriedly said.
Coming over for a while, Chen Guangbi looked at Chen Yide and sighed and said, "Do you know who Li Sanjian is?" ”
"The new governor of Quanzhou? It's just a young man's ambition, just a fluke. Chen Yide replied with some disdain.
There are also some people in the Chen family who are officials in the imperial court or in the Lufu Prefecture Army, or there are also people in the Chen family's in-laws who are officials, Chen Yide doesn't understand why his father values Li Sanjian so much?
Isn't it just a magistrate? Chen Yide said secretly in his heart.
"Youthful ambition? Just a fluke? Chen Guangbi laughed instead of being angry when he heard this: "It's right that the young man has ambition, Li Sanjian is only in his early twenties this year, right?" Let me ask you, in my dynasty, in the whole world, have you ever seen a six-rank official in his early twenties, and a governor in his early twenties? ”
Chen Guangbi paused for a moment and then asked, "Have you ever heard that when this person was an official in Beijing, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, he once killed a prince of the dynasty with a cane, or a famous prince?" ”
"This matter is already known to the whole world, but how can the child not know?" Chen Yide nodded when he heard this.
"The key to this matter is that Li Sanjian was only born in a humble family, and he is still a half-Han and half-Yi person, the champion and the first, and then an official, but he killed the son of the sect and the prince of the country, and finally was able to retreat with his whole body. Not only was he able to retreat with his whole body, but he was also promoted by the imperial court to be the governor of Quanzhou and the city, what do you think he has the ability to do? Or who is he fighting for? ”
"Father... You mean? Chen Yide pointed to the queen of heaven and asked.
"Exactly!" Chen Guangbi nodded and said: "Without the emperor's favor, without the emperor supporting him behind him, he would have been ... Not to mention that there is no corpse, it will definitely end up as a result of dismissal and exile for 3,000 miles. ”
"Father's words are reasonable." Chen Yide nodded.
"Such a person, such a blessed person, what do you think he will be in the future?" Chen Guangbi continued: "This person's future will definitely be like a green cloud, maybe it won't be long, maybe... No... It will definitely be the grace of heaven to sit in the position of the ruling and even the prime minister, Yide, think about it, when did my Chen family have a slaughter and execution? When did you have an in-law with a person who was a ruler or a ruler? And at that time, the people of the world will definitely compete for it, and the icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow, so when he is a father, he does not hesitate to respond to his request, and wants to marry him, so it will bring endless benefits to my Chen family, and the price paid is just a woman in my Chen family, such a cost-effective deal, don't you count it? Besides, this person is young and handsome, and he is the champion of the new department, and he has outstanding literary talents, he can be described as a rare little Langjun in the world, even if Xiang'er is his concubine, is he really wronged Xiang'er? ”
"This... This... Chen Yide loved his daughter and couldn't bear her to be someone else's concubine, but at this time, Chen Guangbi seemed to be a little remorseful.
However, Chen Yide was still skeptical, so he asked: "He... It's true...? What should we do now? ”
Even so, even if Li Sanjian is successful in the future, Chen Yide thought about it, if you send a woman to him as a concubine, will it be considered a marriage?
You must know that marrying a woman as a wife is a marriage, and giving a daughter as a concubine is almost not a marriage, it is basically a matter of giving a woman to his liking.
"It's already like this, it's already offended against him, what can a father do?" Chen Guangbi sighed when he heard this.
"Wouldn't it? Li Sanjian can't be such a narrow-minded person, right? Chen Yide muttered.
。。。。。。。。。。
A few days later, Quanzhou Luoyang Bridge.
On weekdays, there are people coming and going near Luoyang Bridge, which is unusually lively, and the bridge deck is full of passing business travelers, pedestrians, traders doing business and so on.
But today there is no one on the deck of Luoyang Bridge, except for the officials of Quanzhou Prefecture.
Today, on the deck of the Luoyang Bridge, a group of officials of the Quanzhou Prefecture are gathered at the bridge, among which there are even two officials wearing scarlet official robes, and the heads of the Quanzhou Prefecture are out together, they seem to be waiting for someone, which has aroused the curiosity of the surrounding people, but the people are curious, but no one dares to approach to find out, the reason is that there are countless officials or soldiers of the Quanzhou Inspection Division near the Luoyang Bridge, who are on guard.
"Hey, Cui Gong, why are you here too? It doesn't have to be so troublesome, it's really tiring. Li Sanjian, who was dressed in a scarlet official robe and stood at the head of the Luoyang Bridge, thanked Cui Yongji, the general judge of Quanzhou Military Prefecture, who was also a scarlet official robe.
"Hehe, Li Zhizhou!" Cui Yongzi twisted his beard and smiled when he heard this: "Why is Li Zhizhou so polite? Ling Zun went to Quanzhou today, how could Cui not welcome him? ”
Today, Li Sanjian's mother Fu Erniang and his wife and concubine are finally coming to Quanzhou, only a few miles away from the city of Quanzhou. Beautiful
Fu Erniang, Cai Rongxue and others took the dry road, so after Li Sanjian learned the news, he put down all the affairs of the state government and came to Luoyang Bridge to welcome his mother.
Song rules the world with filial piety, if Li Sanjian does not come to welcome his mother today, then he may be impeached by the officials, and at the same time, he will be despised by everyone.
In fact, Li Sanjian did not consider filial piety or unfilial piety, nor did he consider what to rule the world with filial piety, the reason is that Li Sanjian himself is a filial son.
Li Sanjian has been dependent on his mother since he was a child, and he has not seen his mother for so many days, Li Sanjian has long missed it, so even if the sky falls today, Li Sanjian will come to welcome his mother in person.
Li Sanjian originally planned to take Xu Biao and a few others to quietly take his mother into Quanzhou City, but Li Sanjian never expected that the officials of Quanzhou Prefecture would also welcome him, and even Quanzhou Zuo Er and Cui Yongzi also rushed over, which made Li Sanjian quite surprised, and at the same time he was grateful to Cui Yongzi and the officials in Quanzhou.
What Li Sanjian has done since he came to Quanzhou, he has recently lent a large amount of money and grain from the rich room in Quanzhou, which has greatly alleviated the disaster in Quanzhou, and made the officials in Quanzhou, Cui Yongtong and others can't help but feel respectful, so at this time, everyone who came to greet Li Sanjian's mother was not all to flatter Shangguan, and it was not completely flattery...
Li Sanjian nodded when he heard this, there is no need to say more words of gratitude, everything is in plain sight...
"Li Zhizhou, I don't know what your plans are for 100,000 yuan and 50,000 stone grains?" Fu Erniang and the others had not yet arrived, so Cui Yongzi talked to Li Sanjian about business.
"Before you think about it, what does Cui Tongju think?" Li Sanjian asked after thinking about it.
In the past, when there was a shortage of money and food, Li Sanjian, Cui Yongzi and others were worried about the flooding in Quanzhou, but they were not as worried as they are now.
In the past, although the government warehouse had little money and grain, it did not raise debts, and at this time, Li Sanjian borrowed 100,000 yuan and 50,000 stone grains in the name of the Quanzhou Prefecture Ya.
Regardless of whether the 100,000 yuan and 50,000 stone grains can stabilize the price of rice in Quanzhou and whether it is enough to provide relief to the victims, it is also difficult for the Quanzhou Prefecture to return such a large amount of money and grain.
Unless the debts are not repaid, Li Sanjian and the others will be relaxed.
But not only Li Sanjian understands a truth, but Cui Yongzi and others also understand, that is, if the debts are not repaid, the credibility of the Quanzhou government will be lacking, and the consequences will be unpredictable.
Therefore, Cui Yongzi said worriedly: "According to my estimate, this money and grain is still unable to help all the victims, and it is unknown whether it can suppress the price of rice in Quanzhou." Li Zhizhou, the number of victims in Quanzhou is increasing day by day, and the need for money and food is increasing, so these money and food should be considered in the long term and should not be acted upon. ”
"That's what Cui Tong said." Li Sanjian nodded in agreement: "When things are used to the best and things are used well, Li believes that some people who are in urgent need should immediately open a warehouse for relief, and those who are not in urgent need can talk about it slowly." Hey, I don't know when the imperial court's relief money and grain will arrive in my Quanzhou? ”
Li Sanjian's urgent document has already been sent, but so far, except for a reply letter saying that it is being raised, there is no follow-up, whether the imperial court or the Fujian Road Government has allocated money and grain, and where the allocated relief money and grain have gone, there is still no accurate letter.
At this time, Li Sanjian and others were still eager for the imperial court's relief money and food to arrive in Quanzhou as soon as possible.
Cui Yongzi shook his head when he heard this: "Hey, Li Zhizhou, you have just arrived in Quanzhou, maybe it is not clear, in the past, the money and grain allocated by the imperial court always arrived very late, and there were many shoddy things. ”
"How can it be!" Li Sanjian said angrily when he heard this: "I, the people of Quanzhou, am not the people of the Great Song Dynasty?" Why do you treat me like this in Quanzhou? ”
Cui Yongzi shook his head when he heard this, and was silent.
This kind of thing is a long talk, and it is impossible to explain it clearly for a few days and nights, or even longer.
"Hey, it's still the same old saying, it's better to ask for others than for yourself." The two were relatively speechless, and Li Sanjian sighed after half a sound.
"Where is Judge Zhou?" Li Sanjian then turned his head and said to the state officials who were far away from him and Cui Yongzi.
"The lower official is here, what does the mansion command?" Zhou Fangwei, the judge of Quanzhou Prefecture, walked a few steps after hearing this, walked in front of Li Sanjian and Cui Yongzi and asked.
"100,000 yuan and 50,000 stone grains should be closed as soon as possible, and they must not be consumed during the period." Li Sanjian instructed Zhou Fangwei to say: "During the period of the famine, I ordered you to be responsible for the matter of closing the position, and unless the state and Judge Cui jointly signed the book, not a penny or a grain of rice shall be released." ”
"Remember, except for the joint signing of this official and Li Zhizhou, no one is allowed to open a position." Cui Yongzi also advised.
"The subordinate obeys!" Zhou Fangwei responded.
"Here, here, the old lady's car is here." At this moment, a state official rushed over to report to Li Sanjian.
Old lady? Li Sanjian was secretly amused in his heart while tidying up his clothes when he heard this, my mother is not yet forty years old, and she is born as beautiful as a flower, so she will become an old lady?
