Chapter 195: Fighting
Song Jing returned to the capital and studied hard in Zeng Jian's mansion to prepare for next year's autumn.
Zeng Jian intended to train Song Jing and was promoted to the Ministry of Engineering in the future, provided that Song Jing had to be admitted, so he was very concerned about Song Jing's studies.
"Yixian, do you understand what the teacher said today?"
Song Jing nodded, wanting to speak and stopping.
Zeng Jianjiu was in the officialdom, observing the words and feelings, and saw it at a glance, so he said: "If you have something to say, you might as well say it to the teacher." ”
Song Jing was ashamed: "It has been nearly a year since I entered Beijing, and I didn't expect to stay for so long, and the students want to go back to their hometowns and enter Beijing again next spring." ”
Zeng Jian frowned: "No, once you go back, it will be more than a month, if you want a wife and children, the old man will send someone to take her into Beijing." ”
"But...... There are still a few acres of ancestral land at home. "Song Jing is embarrassed.
Zeng Jian groaned a few times, this is true, the ancestral land cannot be sold, so he said: "Then I will keep it and find a few acres of land for you in Shuntian Mansion for the teacher." ”
Song Jing shook his head in shame, not daring to accept it: "The student still won't go back, just write a letter to his wife." ”
Zeng Jian nodded and smiled.
……
In mid-September,
Zhang Xian ordered someone to send the news that Liangxiang Road had been repaired, and Yan Chengjin asked He Neng to prepare a sedan chair, planning to go to Liangxiang to see it in person.
When I arrived at the official road to Liangxiang, I got off the sedan chair.
The new road is a gravel-paved avenue, nearly twice as wide as the original, with large stones at the bottom and gravel and earth at the top.
"It cost another ten percent of silver, and I have to replenish it as soon as possible."
There are too many gravel paving, which is easy to slip, but it has an advantage, when it rains, the wheels will not get stuck in the mud, mixed with some soil, and it will be much easier to walk than the original after stepping on it.
Yan Chengjin was about to go into Liangxiang to have a look, but he saw Wang Busui running out of Liangxiang desperately, and some caravans turned around and ran out of Liangxiang.
"Young Master Yan is going to Liangxiang?" Wang Busui asked breathlessly.
Yan Chengjin nodded.
Wang Busui hurriedly said: "Now I can't go to the good country!" The homeless people and gentry are fighting on a large scale, so let's go back to the capital first. ”
"Fighting?" Yan Chengjin's eyes widened.
Wang Busui said with a bitter face: "It's ready for winter, you don't have to be busy with farming, the homeless people can't be idle, do some small business in the county, young master, you also know that the gentry have always wanted to drive the homeless people out of the good township, the homeless people have built roads, the gentry have not contributed money, and they are naturally not convinced, and the homeless people will beat the gentry, young master, let's avoid it first, and come back when they are finished." ”
Yan Chengjin fell into deep thought.
The contradictions between the homeless people and the gentry have been accumulated for a long time.
In the past, the homeless people would not dare to do anything to the gentry, but Zhang Xian was very kind to the homeless, giving them fields, and letting them do small business in the good township, with his support.
The homeless people gradually became emboldened, and only then did they dare to make a move against the gentry.
The good country gradually became a treasure land, and the conflict broke out, and the gentry thought that the good country was theirs and wanted to drive the displaced people out and occupy the good country for themselves.
The displaced people registered the yellow book of Liangxiang and became the people of Liangxiang, and they also considered themselves to be the masters of Liangxiang.
The homeless people have vulgar and bad habits, they don't understand the etiquette and math teachings, and those who can do it generally don't keep their mouths, and the gentry have no fear, and they look down on the homeless people at all.
made such a fuss, but it was Yan Chengjin and the court who were hurt, who would dare to come to Liangxiang in the future?
Yan Chengjin thought for a while and asked, "How many people are there in the fight?" ”
"There are no less than a thousand people, young master, you won't go to Liangxiang at this time, right? Master Zhang can't hold it down! Wang Busui saw that the momentum was not right, and said busily.
Liangxiang has a patrol road and a military road, but it is under the jurisdiction of the military department, and Yan Chengjin is unable to mobilize.
At this time, Yan Chengjin did not dare to enter the good township, and very few homeless people knew him, in case he was treated as a gentry and was beaten to death with bricks in the back, I don't know what happened.
Yan Chengjin turned out the fold from the sedan chair, immediately wrote a sparse letter, bought a horse from the caravan on the side, and ordered someone to send it to the Jinyi guard secret post in the mansion quickly, and they would send it to Mu Bin.
On the official road of Liangxiang, some caravans turned around and walked back, and there were also bold caravans waiting on the official road, and then went in to procure after the fight.
They came all the way from Jiangnan and even farther away, and they were not afraid of robbers on the road, but they were also afraid of fighting?
Half an hour later, Mu Bin rushed over with hundreds of brocade guards.
Yan Chengjin said: "I'm afraid that there are no less than a thousand people, and the adults still mobilize the soldiers and horses to prepare the road and divide the soldiers and horses to go!" ”
In the sparse performance, he asked Mu Bin to ask for a will before he came.
Mu Bin nodded: "Don't worry, nephew, after it calms down, Shibo will send someone to send you a message, don't go in." ”
It's all about saying it, Yan Chengjin is very cautious, and he won't go if he lets him in.
Liangxiang County,
The gentry hid in their homes and trembled, and just now they sent their families to fight with the homeless, but the homeless people fought more and more, copying farm tools, and they didn't care whether they were dead or alive, and the housekeepers were bullied to their homes before they could fight for long.
Zhang Xian sent people to drive them away, and the few people in the yamen were not even a fraction of the time for the displaced people.
"Get out of here! If not, according to the law! ”
Zhang Xian shouted.
A noise drowned out his words, Zhang Xian was angry and powerless, there were more than a dozen gentry in Liangxiang whose homes were surrounded by homeless people, and this was only one of them.
The popularity exploded, far beyond his expectations.
Zhang Xian was about to go back to his home to write a sparse recital, asking the imperial court to send troops to suppress it, but he saw the soldiers and horses of the Jinyi Guards and the soldiers and horses, galloping over!
More than 1,000 people Hao Hao soup soup!
Mu Bin shouted: "This official is in accordance with the will of the imperial court to kill the evil people!" ”
No one knew the ferocity of Jinyiwei, and when they saw more than a thousand people pulling out their swords, they knelt on the ground in fright.
As soon as the gentry heard that the imperial court had sent someone, they hurriedly came out of the house, "My lord, they want to kill the old man." ”
An older homeless man walked up and knelt in front of Mu Bin's horse, with a sad face: "My lord, we are not evil people, the gentry are, we are paving the way for the construction of canals in the good township, the gentry neither produce silver nor labor, take the benefits in vain, and want to drive us out of the good township, we are also forced to fight with them." ”
Zhang Xiandao: "This matter can only be handled by the official, and the official has ordered it three times and several times, but you all turn a deaf ear, and if you want to turn the sky upside down, you will all be escorted back to the yamen!" ”
Mu Bin sent someone to report to Yan Chengjin that he could enter Liangxiang.
After a while, his subordinates brought back and said: "Boss, Lord Yan said that it would be good to calm down, he will return to the capital, and leave the rest to Lord Zhang." ”
Mu Bin's old face twitched, this kid is really cautious.
It must be observed for a while before daring to come to Liangxiang.
Zhang Xian escorted the displaced people who took the lead in making trouble back to the Yamen, as well as the gentry who drove the displaced people, and brought them back to the Yamen.
"Da Ming Law" "Scolding" in the eight articles: scolding. Whoever rebukes another shall be punished with ten lashes, and those who repel one another shall be punished with ten lashes each. ”
The people curse with the rod.
The outcasts not only cursed, but also beat the gentry.
"Adult, villains don't understand the law of Da Ming."
