【0807 Homecoming】

The people sent by Wu Sanfeng and the prefect Zu Guangyao finally found them when Wei Bao and the others approached Yongping Mansion.

"But when it was time for my uncle, we went back and forth many times." A steward of the Wu family.

Wei Bao smiled slightly, secretly thinking that you will come to something, Wu Xuexia and I haven't married yet, are you called uncle? "Where's your lord?"

"The lord is in Shanhaiguan, and the lord sent the eldest son to greet my uncle in Yongping Mansion." The person in charge of the Wu family said with a smile.

After the people of the Wu family had spoken, an official from Yongping Mansion dared to come forward to greet Wei Bao.

"I've seen Lord Jinglu, I've seen Lord Supervisor, and I've seen a few grand dukes." The official of Yongpyeong Province said.

"No need to be polite, hurry up and get on the road, dare to enter Yongping Mansion before sunset." Wei Bao Road.

Wei Bao knew that it was because they had gone to Qian'an for a day, and these people would never have thought of it, so they couldn't find any trace of them.

The people sent by the Wu family and the people sent by the Yongping Mansion agreed loudly, and someone had already gone back to report the news.

Even if Wei Bao didn't come back as Wu Xiang's son-in-law, Gao Di, the Jiliao Jingluo, and the three big eunuchs would have enough cards, and they would need to be carefully received and arranged by the place.

With Wei Bao here, it's even more incredible.

Tiandihui is now the largest business outside the Guan, especially in the area of Liaoxi and Liaodong, which has replaced the Jin merchants, who only have a slight advantage in the traditional Mongolian and Shaanxi and Gansu regions.

Wei Bao is not only expanding his power in the officialdom, but also in the shopping mall, and he is also expanding his power, doing all this for the development of Weijiazhuang, Liaonan, and North Korea.

Yongping Mansion was in sight, whether it was Wei Bao and Gao Di's entourage, or the entourage led by the three great eunuchs, or the people who greeted them, their morale was high.

Zu Guangyao, the prefect of Yongping Mansion, and Wu Sanfeng took a group of military and political officials from western Liaoning to look at the city gate tower.

I saw someone flying on a horse.

Zu Guangyao's eyes were sharp, "It's coming, it's coming." Then he asked in a loud voice, "Is it next Master Wei?" ”

"And then, less than five miles from here!" The person who reported the news said loudly.

"Hurry up, the firecrackers and gongs and drums are ready, ready to welcome, let's catch up." Wu Sanfeng hurriedly urged.

Although Wu Sanfeng used to fight with Wei Bao, and even wanted to kill Wei Bao, Wei Bao's relationship with the Wu family is not ordinary.

Wu Sanfeng also knows that he has less and less status in the Wu family, and since the second brother became good friends with Wei Bao, he has risen all the way, not only won the Jinshi, but now he is also a five-grade politician, and he is very majestic, and he is still just a small official with the rank of seventh-grade.

Moreover, Wu Sanfeng's seven-rank official title was not officially appointed by the Ming Dynasty, and it cannot be regarded as officially entering the Ming officialdom, it can only be said that relying on family power, he can eat well in western Liaoning.

Out of Liaoxi, few people know about him Wu Sanfeng.

He had to give Wei Bao's name before anyone could know who he was.

Now if Wu Sanfeng doesn't have a good relationship with Wei Bao, I'm afraid that his father won't want to see him anymore.

The second brother is an official, and the third brother has been brave since he was a child, and he can be a military general in the future.

And the father is in the prime of life, at least he can be in charge of the family for twenty or thirty years, and when the father is old and can't do it, the children of the three brothers are also older, and they will be directly set aside.

Thinking of this, Wu Sanfeng's mood was very complicated, and he also knew his father's intention of asking him to pick up Wei Bao in person, so he could only be courteous.

Wu Sanfeng and Zu Guangyao led a large group of people to greet Wei Bao.

And among this large number of officials, most of them have met Wei Bao, and a few are familiar with each other.

It's just that only Fu Ningwei's little flag official Liao Chunbao has a good relationship with Wei Bao, and the others, such as Fu Ningwei's Qianhu Zu Guanghe, Yongping Mansion Governor Zu Guangyao, Shuban Zu Chuncai, Liao Boming Tongzhizheng Wupin, Qianhu Zu Xiyi, Si Yafeng, Le Wenbing, these people all listened to Wu Sanfeng and the ancestral family, and wanted to kill Wei Bao.

Now that Wei Bao has returned to Liaoxi for the first time as an official, he must be regarded as returning to his hometown.

You must know that although Wei Bao's official title is only the fourth grade, Wei Bao is now a big celebrity next to the emperor and the son-in-law of the British Duke Zhang Weixian, and these two identities alone are scary enough.

Moreover, Wei Bao is still a prison soldier who is ordered to run errands, and I heard that he also received the sword of the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant Monk Fang, and has the right to live and kill freely, who dares to be disrespectful?

When these people thought of the past disputes with Wei Bao, they were afraid that Wei Bao would return to his hometown this time, and he would bring up the old things again and kill people to take revenge.

Therefore, although their mood is not as complicated as Wu Sanfeng, they are also very nervous.

"Master Wu, we used to be enemies of Wei Bao after listening to your words, but now Wei Bao and the Wu family have become Weng sons-in-law, you have to help us speak."

"Yes, you must not find the back account, the past has passed, Lord Wei is now a prison army, if you really want to find fault, no one will have to eat and walk around."

"My eyelids have been jumping desperately these days, and my eyelids have not stopped until Wei Bao became the chief of Jiliao."

"Is it the left eye or the right eye? The left eye jumps wealth, and the right eye jumps disaster. ”

"Nonsense, the jump is naturally the right eye, what good fruit do you expect Wei Bao to give us? It's already good that people can ignore past suspicions and not retaliate, think about it, if someone else wants to kill you today, after a while, when you come to a better time, can you not mind at all? Can you not take revenge? ”

The officials were talking about it, and the mood was even worse.

Liao Chunbao was originally just a small flag officer, and he was not qualified to greet Wei Bao, but Funing Wei Qianhu Zu Guanghe knew that Wei Bao had a good impression of Liao Chunbao, so he specially called Liao Chunbao to come.

Liao Chunbao hasn't seen Wei Bao for almost a year, and I don't know if Wei Bao still remembers the friendship with him at the beginning.

Wu Sanfeng was very irritated by the noise of everyone, and shouted in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, my brother-in-law is a member of the imperial court, a person who does big things, and people who do big things are very open-minded. ”

"That's not necessarily the case, how did I hear that Wei Bao has been killing people since he took power! I heard that hundreds of thousands of people were killed in Shandong! It seems like there are five or six hundred thousand people! "Yongping Prefecture Governor Zu Guangyao said.

"More than that! I heard that Wei Bao killed more than a million people in Shandong, and almost all of them were killed, especially those with a bit of family background. Zu Guanghe said worriedly.

"More than a million, I heard that two or three million people were killed, and there was no one in Shandong, Wei Bao killed people as soon as he went, and then it was disarmament, and it was the division of the landlord's acres." Yongping Mansion Qianhu Ancestor Xiyi said: "I have already asked my people to prepare anyway, if Wei Bao really wants to settle accounts after the autumn, it is a big deal to run outside the gate." Not to mention that Wei Bao's father-in-law is a British duke and is in charge of Beijing, as far as those of us in Liaoxi know best, how big is Weijiazhuang? I heard that the population of Weijiazhuang is more than five times that of Liaoxi! ”

The population of Weijiazhuang is indeed several times more than that of Liaoxi.

Liaoxi is full of at most about 200,000 villagers, less than 300,000, even if you add the army, but about 400,000.

But Weijiazhuang is more than 3,000 square kilometers and already has a population of more than 800,000!

Although these people can't enter Weijiazhuang, the people of Weijiazhuang can come out, and they will always show a little rumor.

"Yes, just the people from Weijiazhuang are dispatched, and the thousands of people in our hands can't do it, and the people from Weijiazhuang can go to southern Liaoning and drive away all the slaves!" Another Qianhu Si Yafeng on this side of Yongping Mansion said.

"Okay, okay, the more I talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, Wei Bao is my brother-in-law, a member of the imperial court, and he came to Jiliao to supervise the army, not to kill people in Jiliao! Can't you trust me, can't you trust my dad and my sister? Wu Sanfeng said helplessly.

When everyone heard Wu Sanfeng say this, they were all a little relieved.

Indeed, if they hadn't heard that Wei Bao had come to Liaoxi this time to marry Wu Xuexia, they wouldn't even dare to leave the barracks!

The Wu family is a big family in western Liaoning, and they are all related, and the relationship between Wei Bao and the Wu family is still reassuring.

Soon I saw Wei Bao and Gao Di, as well as the team of three great eunuchs.

Wei Bao didn't do any pomp, but Gao Di's people held the sign of avoiding silence, showing the prestige of a first-class official.

The clothes of the Dongchang servants under the three great eunuchs were majestic enough, and they also used yellow that only the royal family could use.

Wu Sanfeng and Zu Guangyao, the prefect of Yongping Prefecture, hurriedly knelt on both sides of the road with all the officials.

"Greetings to Lord Ji Liaojing, Lord Wei, and Lord Jingshi, and welcome the great dukes who come from Beijing."

The officials had apparently gone through the rehearsal, and not only did they shout neatly, but the people below them also shouted neatly.

Gao Di and several of the great eunuchs were satisfied with the performance of the people of Yongping Mansion.

Although the level of Yongping Mansion is not high, but Liaoxi has a special significance in the entire Ming Dynasty, very important, how many soldiers and horses come and go every year, how much cost does this have to generate? How much food and salary does the imperial court allocate every year?

Although Yongping Mansion is a five-grade yamen, at the level of the house, it is the lowest level, but it is not an exaggeration to give Yongping Mansion a four-grade one, and even at the same level as Shuntian Mansion, it is a three-grade mansion, which is normal!

Although Shuntian Mansion is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, its status is not trivial, and the things it handles are really not as many as Yongping Mansion, and not as big as Yongping Mansion.

If it weren't for the fact that the generals of Liaodong in western Liaoning were not angry, only thinking about making money, and not thinking about how to build places, millions of Liao people would have been taken to Weijiazhuang and southern Liaoning by Wei Bao.

Otherwise, in terms of population, Yongping Mansion is no worse than those big mansions in Jiangnan, and it can even be compared with Yingtianfu.

"Let's all get up." Liu Chao said in a sharp voice, this is a unique voice that belongs to the eunuch.

Although Gao Di and Wei Bao's positions are higher than those of the three great eunuchs, Gao Di and Wei Bao consciously put themselves behind the three great eunuchs, like the first person to speak, and he must be the most majestic person.

This majesty, Gao Di and Wei Bao will be left to the three great eunuchs.

And Liu Chao was the leader of the three great eunuchs, so Liu Chao was the first to speak.

Wei Bao got out of the carriage and said enthusiastically: "Everyone get up, everyone get up, a few grand dukes let everyone get up." It's finally back home! It's a pleasure to see everyone! ”

Wei Bao said, walked to Wu Sanfeng's side in person, and took the lead in greeting: "Brother Sanfeng, don't come to harm." ”

"Sister...... Brother-in-law. Wu Sanfeng was a little speechless. I don't know how to call Wei Bao.

Because Wei Bao and Wu Xuexia have not officially married, but the relationship between Wei Bao and Wu Xuexia is deeper than that of those who have been married, and they have been together for more than a year.

Especially the young lady of a large family.

Wei Bao smiled slightly, nodded, and cordially greeted Funingwei's Qianhu Zu Guanghe, Yongping Mansion Governor Zu Guangyao, Secretary Zu Chuncai, Liao Boming Tongzhizheng Wupin, Qianhu Zu Xiyi, Si Yafeng, Le Wenbing, and other important officials in Western Liaoning whose names he called.

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Wei Bao's approachable appearance, just looking at Wei Bao like this, they didn't feel like Wei Bao was holding a grudge.

Liao Chunbao was so moved, "I didn't expect that Master Wei could still remember a little person like me." ”

What do you mean by that? When we first met, I was just a common man, so what was I at that time? Wei Bao smiled: "Most sentient beings should be equal. ”

If it weren't for the outside, in the place under the jurisdiction of the Heaven and Earth Society, Wei Bao might have directly said that all beings are equal.

However, there is nothing wrong with Wei Bao saying that all beings are equal.

Buddhism preached the equality of all beings, but the ancient emperors of China still revered Buddhism.

During the Ming Dynasty, Buddhism also developed.

In ancient times, it was preached that "the emperor was ordered by heaven", and the emperor was chosen by heaven.

The equality of all beings does not mean that all people are equal.

Buddhism preaches that all beings are equal, that all living beings are equal, that they are all the same life, and that they are all equally worthy of cherishing, not that all people are equal or that all people are equal.

Only the equality that President Wei said in the jurisdiction of the Heaven and Earth Society is that everyone is equal.

This is the same as the fraternity preached by the bourgeoisie, they would rather love their pet than a homeless man, and they will spend the blood and sweat of the homeless man on loving their pets.

Bourgeois fraternity is hypocritical and paradoxical.

When the wolf eats the sheep, the sheep is so miserable, can you save the sheep? It can't be saved, because the lives of wolves and sheep are equal lives, and if you save a sheep, you have to starve the wolf to death.

So Buddhism wants to come up with the story of Shakyamuni feeding the eagle with his own meat.

The ruling class exploits and oppresses the ruled class, can it save the ruled class? It can't be saved, because if the ruled class is saved, the ruling class will be miserable.

Therefore, the ruling class wants to cover up this paradox with the charity of three melons and two dates.

Therefore, the equality of all beings is not equal at all, and there is no love at all, and the fraternity of the bourgeoisie is actually not at all love.

The sheep should not expect the Buddha of great compassion to save it, and the people at the bottom should not expect to shout equality and fraternity to save it, they can only rely on themselves.

The equality of all beings can only paralyze the soul, and there is no change in human society, sheep were originally eaten by wolves, even if they are replaced with a lofty statement, sheep are still eaten by wolves.

After the bourgeoisie that shouted equality and fraternity came to power, there was no change in human society, the proletariat was squeezed in feudal society, and the proletariat was still squeezed after the bourgeoisie came to power, but it was squeezed by a different person.

The bourgeoisie worships the law of the jungle, but fears the law of the jungle, and uses fraternity to paralyze the ruled class and prevent the ruled class from imposing the law of the jungle on them.

The equality of all beings has the meaning of paralyzing the ruling class, and the emperor certainly liked it.

Therefore, if the ruling class understands the equality preached by the ruling class as the equality of all people, and the fraternity they preach as loving everyone, and is moved by their love, the ruling class will be deceived, or it can only blame the ruling class for being too self-inflicted.

Wei Bao said a word casually, which attracted praise from officials and big families in western Liaoning, and they all spread that Master Wei was erudite and knowledgeable, and his thoughts were mysterious, and he was worthy of being the most outstanding talent from western Liaoning.

"Set off firecrackers, sound gongs and drums!" Wu Sanfeng said to Zu Guangyao.

Zu Guangyao hurriedly lifted the hem of his official uniform, trotted to the back row in person and said loudly: "Set off firecrackers, sound gongs and drums!" ”

Hundreds of loud firecrackers exploded.

It's crackling, it's not lively.

Drums are playing in unison.

It's not festive.

This is not a few firecrackers, but to be put all the way under the Yongping Mansion City.

Entering Yongping Mansion has to continue this pomp.

This burns money.

However, this is nothing to the big families in western Liaoning, as long as Master Wei doesn't find everyone's fault, these are small money.

They all secretly prayed in their hearts, Master Wei should be a big-hearted person, right? After all, it's about doing big things.

In fact, if Wei Bao is willing to integrate into these big families and these landlord classes, Wei Bao may not be able to develop so fast.

Wei Bao deprived a large part of the landlord class of interests and distributed them to the common people and a small part of the big landlord class, so that he could be promoted so quickly and his power developed so quickly.

In particular, Wei Daren still used more advanced capitalism, which was fatal to the remnants of slavery and feudalism!

When he returned to Liaodong this time, Wei Bao didn't think about how to do it specifically, and planned to take one step at a time.

"Brother-in-law, what about my sisters?" After calling it smooth, Wu Sanfeng called it much smoother, with a smiling face.

"In the back, you didn't let you join us, so as not to be too ostentatious." Wei Bao Road.

Wu Sanfeng didn't dare to walk side by side with Wei Bao, "Okay, then I'll arrange it, brother-in-law, you get in the carriage, there are still several miles to get to the capital of Yongping Mansion, I'll go see my sister." ”

Wei Bao responded and gave Wu Sanfeng a smile.

Wei Bao was also very entangled in how to deal with Wu Sanfeng, after all, Wu Sanfeng had almost killed himself many times before.

Fortunately, it was fortunate that it was able to survive this situation.

If you want to kill Wu Sanfeng, Wei Bao can say that you can do it without blowing your heart.

But with Wu Xuexia's relationship, it is difficult for Wei Bao to start.

Sometimes Wei Bao feels that he is still quite kind, not to mention Wu Sanfeng, but to say that Zhao Liquan, the first captain in the previous book, and his opponents Zheng Jinfa and Zheng Zhongfei, father and son, Wei Bao did not start.
