Chapter Eighty-Seven: Zhu Shun, You Little Rabbit Cub
After finalizing a general direction, the curtains began to deduce how this big game of chess should be played, in several steps, where the details of each step are, and strive to achieve the point where the mechanism is exhausted.
A day later, Ma Shiying, who got the news, personally rushed to the Song family workshop and the Lu family workshop with the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and discussed how to burn the two workshops on the way in the past.
Before they got close to the two workshops, they first saw the porridge shacks set up by the Song family and the Lu family around the workshops, helping a large number of victims.
Ma Shiying instructed the archers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to stand still, walked over alone, grabbed a victim whose clothes were more torn than beggars, and asked seriously: "Excuse me, when was this porridge shed opened." ”
The victim's stomach was grunting with hunger, and there was only one thought in his mind, eating, but he was suddenly stopped by someone, and his unkempt face showed a fierce look.
Seeing that the person who grabbed him was an official master, he suddenly became cringe: "The porridge shed of Song Dashan was there long before the emperor spoke. ”
Ma Shiying asked this sentence because he was worried that there were fellow villagers of the Song family in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and told the Song family the news in advance, and the Song family used the strategy of opening a porridge shed to avoid this raid.
asked more than a dozen victims one after another, all of them said that the Song family had already opened the porridge shed before the emperor issued the edict, and it seems that this matter is true nine times out of ten, not a trick of the Song family.
Ma Shiying was still a little worried, and called a brocade guard: "How long has the Song family opened a porridge shed?" ”
Jinyi Baihu is not from Beizhili, but happens to be from Jiangxi, and knows more about the famous scholarly Song family in Jiangxi than ordinary people: "Ambassador Qiqi Ma, the porridge shed of the Song family has been opened on the second day of the Jurchen retreat. ”
The two spy agencies of Jinyiwei and Dongchang are especially taboo to talk more, and this Jinyi Baihu remembered the Song family's good deeds in Jiangxi, and closed his eyes.
He opened his eyes again and took the initiative to say, "Ambassador Ma, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. ”
Ma Shiying got the answer he wanted, and was pondering what to do next, when he heard the words of Jinyi Baihu, he turned around and looked at him seriously and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”
The hundred households in Jinyi got the consent and organized the language: "Not only this year, the Song family will set up a porridge shed every year to help the poor people." ”
"Ambassador Ma may not know that he is from Jiangxi, and he still knows a lot about the situation of the Song family."
"The ancestors of the Song family have been famous benevolent people in Jiangxi for generations, although the family property is quite rich, but it is far worse than those bureaucratic squires who loot the people's fat and ointment, and they are not ranked in the county where he lives."
"But the good deeds of the Song family are in the forefront of the entire Jiangxi."
"Building bridges and paving roads, opening porridge sheds, exempting rent, etc., have done a lot of good deeds, and the old lady of the Song family was even more rare in the officialdom back then."
"Later, I really couldn't get used to the miasma of officialdom, so I simply resigned and returned to my hometown in Jiangxi, where I opened a volunteer school and became a teacher."
Ma Shiying looked at the lively porridge shack, listened to the narration of the hundred households in brocade, left a word, and left here without hesitation.
"The people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division will go back, and two people from Jinyiwei and Dongchang will each stay here to watch, and once the plague is discovered, notify the official immediately."
The scene that happened today has deduced countless possible Donglin parties, and it has already been calculated, and it is also a result deliberately created by the scenes.
The burning of the workshops of the Song family and the Lu family only caused the two families to lose a batch of looms, and the Donglin Party either did not do it, or if it did, it would completely collapse the Song family and the Lu family.
Only when hundreds of female workers in the weaving workshops of the Song family and the Lu family were infected with the plague could they completely collapse the two families, and now is not the time.
On the way back, Ma Shiying happened to meet the old lady of the Song family, a seventy-year-old man, who learned from his son's letter that the country had suffered such a disaster.
Without saying a word, he took out all the grain in the family, and even the grain that was used to save his life in the disaster year was opened by Mrs. Song, and all of them were transported to Beizhili by water.
In this way, the old lady Song was still not at ease, worried that the two sons would not be able to handle this important matter, and despite the fact that he was seventy years old, he followed him to Beizhili.
Just today, Mrs. Song personally escorted the first batch of grain ashore, sat on the donkey cart at the head of the row, and passed by Ma Shiying.
When Mrs. Song saw the scale of the porridge shed, she was angry on the spot, and pointed to the big housekeeper's nose and scolded: "Such a small porridge shed, enough for a few people to eat, replace it with a porridge factory!" ”
"In addition, we will send people to other state capitals to open a few more porridge factories, so that more people can eat."
The old lady Song watched the porridge sheds in the porridge factory open one by one, and handed the head of the Song family a look, look, without the old man, I will personally take command, it will definitely not work.
Old lady Song waited here for a stick of incense, but none of her two sons came, and she was angry again: "Where did Song Yingxing and Song Yingjing go!" reversed the two of them, and forgot the ancestral teachings of the Song family. ”
"Good deeds are not done with money, but with heart!"
The big housekeeper originally wanted to explain a few sentences for the third and fourth masters, but remembering the temper of the old lady Song, he could only answer honestly: "The third master went to do some experiments, and the fourth master went to recruit people." ”
The third child loves to study things since he was a child, which is understandable.
The fourth recruit should be to increase the manpower of the porridge shed, and the old lady Song was in a better mood, and asked casually: "After recruiting people, where are you going to open a porridge shed?" ”
Porridge shed? The chief housekeeper knew that Mrs. Song had misunderstood, and replied honestly: "It's not to open a porridge shed, it's to increase the manpower of the weaving workshop." ”
In this special period, he dared to increase the number of people in the workshop, which had already reached five hundred people, and Old Lady Song's face instantly darkened: "Who let him do this." ”
Seeing Old Lady Song's expression, the chief housekeeper knew that he had said the wrong thing, and explained two sentences, saying that it was to save more victims.
Seeing that Old Lady Song's face was getting darker and darker, she quickly closed her mouth and replied honestly, "Mr. Zhu." ”
Apprenticeship is a very solemn thing for the scholarly family, Song Shihui and Song Shiyi apprenticeship, and the old lady Song who is far away in Jiangxi also got the news.
The old lady Song did not ask his child's husband like other bureaucrats and squires if he had any fame and fame and how many officials he had done in the imperial court.
As long as the gentleman's character is good, it's fine.
Mrs. Song learned about Zhu Shun's incorruptible character from his fellow villagers, and he had a drink happily after abstaining from alcohol for many years for the sake of his body.
Now I heard that this stinky boy dared to make such a risky act, obviously because of his experience as an official.
Old lady Song said with a dark face: "Let's go, let's go to the Zhu family's spinning factory." ”
