Chapter 70 The Wen family turned out to be a wang family
For Wen Cheng, he put himself under a rough person like Niu Er
Zhao Zheng didn't seem to mind, and arched his hand:
"Yes, I respectfully obey Lord Wen's order! I also hope that in the future, Mr. Wen will be able to squeeze in some leisure time and come to the construction site to advise Yu Zheng. ”
Wen Cheng nodded and said to Li Hui: "I don't know Brother De'ang, what are your plans?" ”
Li Hui hurriedly responded: "Hui, from the land of barbarians; Born in Si, raised in Si.
It is customary to collude with various barbarian cottages and sell wild game for them;
In order to envisage that the barbarians 'know the etiquette of the barbarians', they can produce with peace of mind and sincerely support the court day by day.
I don't know Lord Wen, is there anything I need to contribute? ”
"Today, Lord Cangcao Gou of this county was honored by the county as Kong Jun, and went to the official seal for the crime of 'corpse vegetarian meal, no responsibility, and insatiable desecration'.
I also lead the cangcao affairs.
However, recently, my affairs have been complicated, and I have no skills; It's not as good as Brother Deang, for the time being, he is the clerk of Cangcao's public house, and first go through the previous Cangcao account books, how about it? ”
In Han'an County, except for the county magistrate and the county lieutenant, who are "imperial court officials" and need to play the imperial court;
The rest of the officials are all Kong Xiaoer's "subordinates of the county monarch", and Kong Xiaoer can masturbate him with a word.
Li Hui couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Hui, he was originally a desperate person at the end of the world, but fortunately he was rescued by Lord Wen, which is already a great creation!"
Unexpectedly, Master Wen did not think that Hui was a shallow learner, but hired Hui as a scribe?
Thank you very much!
The great grace is not grateful; Please watch the aftermath of the restoration! ”
Li Hui and Zhao Zheng, from a "quasi-homeless person", can immediately have a household registration in Han'an County, and also arrange a "scribe", a few but decent positions;
How not to be overjoyed?
- Being an official is the most addictive thing.
Not one of them!
Wen Cheng didn't have many specific plans for Li Hui and Zhao Zheng.
Let's do it first!
If Zhao Zheng can't even convince Niu Er, his future will be extremely limited - the position of the little foreman is fixed.
Li Hui, a scrivener and a temporary worker; Going to stay is a matter of Wen Cheng's words.
Let him do it in the position of scribe first
Most of the local scholars in Han'an County are from these "county wang clan" families or Haoqiang families in the county temple
- It's not as easy to control as Li Hui!
If Li Hui does his duty conscientiously, it is gold that will shine sooner or later; If he is a man who is hopeful and insatiable
Wen Cheng didn't mind slapping him against the wall and turning him into a brick carving
You can't buckle that kind of ......

sent away Li Hui and Zhao Zheng; Wen Cheng instructed Wu Gen: Keep an eye on the historian "Shell Lang" around the clock, pay attention to his daily routine, places in and out, and who he interacts with
——We have to hurry up and get rid of this scourge for the daughters-in-law and grandfathers of Han'an County.
Wu Gen turned and walked out the door.
At this time another man came to see him;
Wen Cheng is now a hot figure in Han'an County.
Every day, the powerful families, the three elders of the township, and the small officials of the pavilions who want to feast and give gifts are simply like a tide: a batch of them returned, and another batch immediately poured over.
Entering the door came two people in long robes, an old man and a middle-aged man; All of them are dressed elegantly, and their expressions are neither humble nor arrogant.
The middle-aged man bowed to Wen Cheng: "I am a native of Wanchang Township, surnamed Wu, and named Sen." This elder is the shopkeeper of "Liao Ji Gold Shop", and his surname is Wu, and he is straightforward. ”
The older one, standing with his hands down, did not mean to bow halfway.
The shopkeeper of Liao Kee Gold Shop?
In this era of official respect and humility, no matter how powerful your Liao Ji gold shop is, it is also "the people"; No matter how much I read history, I still have a white body.
It stands to reason that they all have to give a salute to Wen Cheng.
Wen Cheng didn't care about these false courtesies, and quickly got up to return the salute, and then asked the two to sit down.
The old man sat unceremoniously on top of the scumbag; Wu Sen, a middle-aged man, handed over a letter with both hands before he sat down.
Wen Cheng took out the knife he was carrying, cut open the seal, and looked at the letter carefully...
The bronze knife that opened the letter was a must-have for a scribe.
This seems to be an ordinary folk letter, but the beginning alone startled Wen Cheng:
Wen Cheng my nephew:
See the letter as it is
……
- It was actually written by the patriarch, the uncle who couldn't be messed with!
Wen Cheng, as a thin branch of the Wen family, has been able to kneel respectfully in front of the patriarch only at the ancestor worship ceremony for many years.
The woman in the family, she can't even enter the ancestral hall door!
The patriarchs of this era, especially the patriarchs of the big families, are more authoritative than the Son of Heaven for the clansmen.
The Son of Heaven will not allow you, and you will not be able to become a leader in your life; If the patriarch doesn't allow you, you basically don't even have the qualifications to be a human being!
~~~~
Uncle Patriarch, in this letter, he mainly said a few things:
First, through Wencheng's brother-in-law, Liang Zheng's detailed report, and the patriarch also synthesized the information fed back by the clansmen in Han'an County.
Now, the patriarch recognizes some of Wen Cheng's ways and supports Wen Cheng's idea of supporting the army and respecting himself.
the second is to give Wen Cheng a detailed introduction to the life trajectory of the ancestors of the Wen family in recent generations; the distribution of the children of the clan, and so on. These things would never have been mentioned by the patriarch to Wen Cheng before.
The third is to let Wen Cheng try his best to help the side branch of Laojun Mountain and help the brother of the same clan in front of him; In the matter of opening a money bank, discuss with the shopkeeper of "Liao Ji Gold Shop" and Uncle Wu Zhi, and do not fight in the same room!
The patriarch asked the people in the clan to do something, and there was no need to plead...
All you need to do is order it directly!
Otherwise...... Otherwise, the consequences will immediately make you go from being loved by people and seeing flowers blooming to "ignoring dogs";
Not everyone can afford this kind of consequence.
- It turns out that Wu Zhi, the shopkeeper of Liao Ji Gold Shop, is still his own uncle?
No wonder he saw Wen Cheng, the official, but he didn't salute.
Seeing this, the shocked Wen Cheng hurriedly got up and saluted Wu Zhi's nephew.
Wu Zhi smiled: "Chengxian's nephew doesn't need to be polite, both civil and military are a family."
Changing the surname to 'Wu' is a homonym for 'Wu'; our descendants of the Wen family surnamed Wu are naturally born in Laojun Mountain, and the Wu family is next to it!
It's just that the nephew was young back then, and there were some things in the clan, so it was inconvenient to inform the virtuous nephew!
I take care of the county industry for the clan.
The gold shop is the Qianwei County Taishou Mansion, a certain powerful person, together with several staff members in the Yizhou Thorn History Mansion, the post superintendent and others, plus several people in the temple of Han'an County, jointly founded.
Its branches are all over Yizhou
We, the Wen family, have only a very small share capital in it.
I heard that the virtuous nephew was also going to open a money bank, so I came over to see, what is there to do with the virtuous nephew, and what do you need the help of me, an old man? ”
Wen Cheng hurriedly thanked his uncle;
Immediately, he looked at his cheap brother Wu Sen: "Big brother, I don't know if you have any difficulties when you come to find me?" Although the way it is. Present, we should do our best to help! ”
Wen Cheng doesn't like to make random promises, especially things he doesn't know yet. It is even more disgusting, no matter what the situation, the practice of taking a bite in advance.
The close unity within the family and the unity of the outside world are the inevitable ways of our ancestors to "huddle together for warmth and jointly resist unknown risks" in the agricultural era.
The clan will support the children to read and write, use the clan's connections, money and food, and provide for the children with potential, so that they can get ahead;
On the other hand, after the children of the clan have a profit, they must repay the family;
You don't have a choice.

Brother Wu Sen informed Wen Cheng: In Wanchang Township, the pottery kiln of the Wen family is close to a Zhang surnamed Haoqiang.
Zhang surnamed Hao is strong and strong, relying on the strength of the crowd, in the county temple, in the township and the support of officials, often crossing the boundary to steal the clay of the Wenjia.
The two families often fought because of this
- Well, it's Wu Sen who is bullied a lot.
On the other side of Laojun Mountain, it is not easy to intervene publicly; Otherwise, Wu Sen of Wanchang Township will be crowned with the crime of "banditry".
"Bandits" were not a big deal in the first place; But in this way, the pottery kiln that the Wen family has worked hard in Wanchang Township for many years cannot be preserved.
Wu Sen planned to let Wen Cheng come forward and reconcile with him
Wen Cheng nodded, which can be regarded as a matter of acceptance.
Gan Ning is the clan of Wanchang Township, and Wen Cheng asked Gan Ning to find out the heel of the surname Haoqiang in this chapter as soon as possible;
in order to draw up their own solutions.
In the county temple, in recent years, the control of Wanchang Township is extremely thin.
The Youchang barracks in Wanchang Township have basically escaped the supervision of the county temple.
First, there are many heroes in the bowl.
The number of slaves, apprentices, and craftsmen in its pottery kiln workshop is huge; The servants didn't dare to use force against the powerful at all.
In the county temple, there are many officials who have been bribed by him, and many of them hold "cadre shares".
Second, the "sail brocade thief" on the Yuexi River.
He is also often active in Wanba Township as a "repair base camp".
If you don't have strong force, you go to the administration of Wanchang Township, just to find a beating!
There is also Zheng Kan of Wanchang Township.
In the brave barracks in his hometown, all the recruits are rangers, rogues who kill people and goods; There are a lot of outlaws!
Zheng Kan himself ignored the jurisdiction of the county temple; It has always been out of regulation.
The officials of the county temple, for whatever purpose, tried their best to avoid talking about the affairs of Wanchang Township on weekdays.
As long as the annual tax of 10,000 yuan in Wanchang Township is submitted to the county warehouse in time, Kong Xiaoer doesn't bother to pay attention to that mess!
Wanchang Township, that is the largest and largest source of taxes in the entire Han'an County!
What Confucius couldn't solve, he had to let Lao Tzu solve it
Wen Cheng secretly made up his mind to clean up those heroes.
Pull out the radish and bring out the mud, and at that time, the people who colluded with Haoqiang in the county temple will be cleaned up together!
If not, how can he control those key positions in the county temple?
The Wen family, there are too many children who count ants at home!
Wen Cheng is not a cronyistic person.
But I also understand that in the context of this era, the loyalty of the children of the clan is definitely the most reliable!
- The price of betraying the family will not be lower than the price of rebellion!
