Wang Xingwu had already led his army to the periphery of Hexi Pass. Hejiazhuang is not far from Hexiguan, but because of the separation of the river, I don't know any news.

On the top of the White Pagoda on the right bank of the Jialing River, He Yongnian stared at the Baoning Mansion City under his eyes with an anxious face.

"Fourth master, since I got the news, the little ones sent people to watch at the top of the tower every day. As soon as the fireworks rise, they will come down to report the news. It's just that I really haven't seen the smoke rise in the past two days, and the little ones don't dare to lie...... "A leader of Hejiazhuang Ding reported to He Yongnian, and at the same time gave He Tong beside He Yongnian a look, and asked him to help him.

"Dad, Uncle Cheng stares at it every day, how can he lose his eyes? There must be something strange in the city! He Tong took a look and hurriedly helped the leader of the family to speak.

"You little kid's house, what do you know!" He Yongnian, who was anxious, reprimanded his son mercilessly, "The temperament of these officers and soldiers, your father still doesn't know?" Since it was a mutiny, how could it be possible not to kill people and not set fire? Besides, the ferries outside the city have been robbed, and the treasury, arsenal, gunpowder store, and Qin, Zhang, and Kong in the city have been robbed, how could they not rob them? Our He family's vinegar jar is estimated to be unable to keep it......"

He Yongnian said that the hundreds of large jars of vinegar in the back garden of He Ji sauce and vinegar shop were painful. His feelings for the shop are difficult for others to understand, because there is more than 20 years of hard work of his father and son.

Boryeong City is the center of soy sauce vinegar production in Sichuan Province, and the bran vinegar it produces is also known as Boryeong vinegar, which has a history of at least hundreds of years. Boryeong vinegar, like the soy sauce of Jiangyou Zhongba and the pickled cabbage head (the predecessor of mustard) in Fuling, is also a must-have for the people of Sichuan, and the sales are huge.

Ordinary people don't have meat and vegetables to accompany their rice, so they often rely on a plate of soy sauce, a plate of vinegar, a few pieces of pickles, and a lump of watercress to mix a meal. Therefore, the sauce and vinegar industry looks at the profit, but relying on the large sales volume, the actual profit is not low. It's just that the price of grain and salt has risen too fast in Chongzhen, and the cost of the sauce and vinegar food industry with grain and salt as raw materials has risen. Coupled with the unrest of the world, sales have plummeted and the industry is struggling.

He Yongnian, who was born in a general, followed his father to help in the sauce and vinegar shop since he was a child, practiced arm and leg strength in the mixing room, and froze his hands and feet in the cold and biting vinegar vat. After Master He died in battle, He Ji's business, which had lost his official power, became worse and worse. Without He Yongnian's shrewdness and hard work, He Ji would have gone out of business long ago.

However, the turn of things came suddenly, and the origin was the young master's wreck, and the whole family surrendered to the Shu Palace. Since then, Hejiazhuang and Heji sauce and vinegar shops have been like magnets, attracting surrounding farmers and merchants, and their business has become bigger and bigger. With the background of the Shu Palace, the officials of the government will no longer come to the door to extort and collect taxes, and they will also put on smiling faces when they see the He family.

Recently, in order to expand the income of the people and improve the lives of the people, Miss Luo of the Shu Wangfu took the lead in establishing a Shu Wangfu Sauce and Vinegar Food Promotion Association. Through the association, several soy sauce and vinegar merchants and food merchants in Wangfu Zhuang or donor households, such as He Kee soy sauce and vinegar in Boryeong Province, Chen Ji soy sauce in Jiangyou, and rice cake workshop in Chongyi Village, are loosely integrated.

The meeting place of the association is located in the Ho Kee Sauce and Vinegar Shop. The first president of the association was named Miss Luo, and the actual affairs were handled by He Yongnian, the secretary general. This association is not only a protection for the tax avoidance and exemption of these member workshops

Umbrella is also an investment matching platform for the sauce and vinegar food industry. The association has just attracted investment in two small projects: one is a tempeh (CHI, Sichuan Yinfa SHI) workshop in Tongchuan Prefecture; One is the Douban workshop in Pi County. He Yongnian, the secretary general of the association, is responsible for attracting investment for the project.

The gentry of Shu are full of confidence in the profitability of the project led by the Shu Wangfu, and in just one month, the IPO progress of the two projects has been completed by seventy. The private investors of the project come from Chengdu, Tongchuan, Baoning, Shunqing, Xufu and Jiading, but the majority of local businessmen in Boryeong.

However, one of the most eye-catching is Xiaohong, Miss Luo's maid and the fiancée of Song Zhenzong, the general of the palace. So there was a rumor that there was Miss Luo's personal fat powder money in the project, and it was also said that it was General Song's bride price.

It is no wonder that the gentry are willing to invest, because in addition to these rumors that cannot be confirmed, the prospectus really states that the workshops under the Sauce and Vinegar Food Promotion Association can give priority to Wangzhuang's parity grain and offwritten salt; In addition to the contribution fee of the palace Yicheng, the government can avoid taxes and additions in the entire industrial chain; In the sales process, you can give priority to the purchase order of Shu Wangfu.

How big is the purchase order of the Shu Palace?

Just the Protector Army and Wangzhuang Wangdian in various places are at least hundreds of thousands of people's consumer markets! He Yongnian was inspired by the smooth progress of the project's investment and was ready to show his strength and do a career. A few days ago, when he checked the excavation of the salt well in the Beiyuan Temple, he did not forget to talk to the Shehong County family

The shopkeeper of the old winery discussed the cooperation. He Yongnian's intention is to take advantage of the royal government's tax advantages, cost advantages and sales advantages to expand the association's workshops into a more profitable brewing industry.

However, just as He Yongnian was struggling to draw his business blueprint, there was a mutiny in his old nest, Boryeong Mansion! Now, even the sauce and vinegar shop may not be able to keep it!

A kind of bitter oil made He Yongnian close his eyes. But his ignorant son tried to comfort his father inappropriately:

"Dad, the shop is guarded by the guys on the village, so it's not a big problem. In my opinion, the pontoon bridge in Nanjin Pass ......"

Before the young man He Tong finished speaking, he was interrupted by a family member who ran up to the white tower. That family Ding climbed the nearly ten-zhang high writing tower in one breath, panting, and couldn't speak. Seeing this, He Tong hurriedly ripped off the gourd on his waist and handed it to the family.

A few mouthfuls of water were poured into his stomach, and the family finally clarified the reason: the old lady, the young lady, and the second lady have an urgent matter to invite the fourth master.

The fourth master is the honorific title of the Zhuang household in the Zhuangzi to He Yongnian. But in front of the old lady, the young lady, and the second lady, the fourth master, He Yongnian, was just the son of an old slave.

The old lady Kong is the main wife of Master He, and the young lady Qin is He Youyi's wife.

Kong was originally the daughter of a teacher in Boryeong City who did not even have a reputation, but her family was so high that many years ago, she made Master Wufu He, who was successful in marrying, the number one news figure in Boryeong City. The reason is very simple, because Kong is a descendant of a saint, and the Southern Confucian lineage (Note 1). The Qin family is the eldest lady of the Qin family, a wealthy gentry in Baoning City, and the sister of the young owner of the Qin Ji Che Ma Xing in the city.

As for the second young lady, that was what the He family called her in the past. Her current identity is Mrs. Hou, who returned to her parents' home for the New Year.

……

Hejiazhuang is located at the foot of the southern foot of Baita Mountain. Zhuangzi is high in the north and low in the south, and the village wall is tall. There is a large mansion in the center of Zhuangzi, backed by Baita Mountain, facing a large avenue that leads to the Zhuangmen in the south. This mansion is the nest of He Youyi and the generals of the He family's army.

In the antechamber of the house, an old woman with black hair and a dignified face sat on the top. Behind her stood a gray-haired, spirited old servant. On the chairs on the left and right of the old woman's head, a middle-aged woman sits on each side. The thin-eyed melon seed face on the left has a kind and warm complexion; The one on the right has a slightly square face, slightly red eyes, and a sad complexion, as if he has just cried.

He Yongnian took He Tong into the front hall quickly, first saluted the old lady at the top, then saluted the two ladies and ladies on the left and right, and finally saluted the old servant behind the old lady.

"Kasuke." The old woman smiled and called the name of the old servant behind her, "Look at your grandson's cleverness, his future prospects are no less than those of He Gui and He Huan!" ”

The old servant responded with a smile: "Mrs. Xie praises." It's just that the jade can't be cut, and this Xiaotong still has to be sharpened! ”

It turned out that the old woman above was He Youyi's own mother Kong, the woman on the left was He Youyi's wife Qin, and the woman on the right was He Youyi's sister-in-law, whose name was He Fengyi. The old servant behind the Kong family is He Yongnian's father, He Tong's grandfather, and He Fu, the chief steward of Hejiazhuang.

"Fourth, don't pestle your two fathers and sons, find a stool to sit on! Let your dad tell me about it. Kong commanded. In a blink of an eye, she caught a glimpse of He Tong pouting at his grandfather Nunu, and laughed: "He Fu, you stand here with me, where can they sit down?" Go sit down! Now our He family is all descendants of the Shu Prince's Mansion, and their status is generally high! ”

The old lady summoned him because Zhuang Ding, who had just gone out to patrol the village, brought back a person who was wet all over. This person said that he was a descendant of the Qin family in the city, and he was ordered by the Shaodong family to swim across the river and pass on the truth of the rebels in the city. The identity has been confirmed, because the Qin family recognizes this person, it is her brother's personal guard Bai Er.

According to Bai Er, in addition to occupying the city tower and the four gates, Wang Chaoyang's rebels also occupied the official offices of Baoning Mansion, Northern Sichuan Branch, Langzhong County and other places. Long Wenguang, the guard of the northern Sichuan branch, guarded the Qin thieves in Guangyuan City, and just escaped a catastrophe. However, in Baoning City, Zhang Jimeng, the prefect of Baoning, Ge Qizuo, and Zhang Chang, the governor of Langzhong County, were all detained by the rebels, and their lives and deaths were unknown. The rebels also seized the treasury, arsenal, and powder magazine, but did not recruit troops in the city. More than 100 war horses of Qin Ji's carriage and horse shop were also taken away by the rebels, but the rebels were priced by the horse, and each horse was given ten taels of silver.

"Grandpa, the rebels actually gave silver?" He Tong suddenly interrupted his grandfather's statement and asked loudly.

"Why don't you give it?" He Fu looked at his grandson, and the cold air turned into a spring breeze. If it weren't for the presence of the old lady and the lady, he would have taken his grandson to his side long ago.

Say

Come to the Qin family and Wang Chaoyang are still relatives who are bent and round! You see, the husband of the second lady is Hou Yingqi, the nephew of Hou Zongbing; Wang Chaoyang's cousin is the wife of Hou Tianxi, the son of Hou Zongbing (Note 2), and she also gave birth to two sons-in-law. The young lady is the sister-in-law of the second lady, and the Qin family is the young lady's maiden family...... In short, we are all relatives in the north of Sichuan! ”

"It's all the fault of the court and those traitors!"

The second young lady, He Fengyi, suddenly cried: "I forced General Hou to death, which made the soldiers rebellious!" Uncle, do you think Hou Tianxi and Hou Yingqi will rebel with Wang Chaoyang? ”

The second lady's question made He Fu silent. How could he answer?

He Fengyi's attitude aroused her mother's dissatisfaction: "Fengyi, don't make trouble here!" Now that everyone doesn't know the situation, if they do, how can they be so sad? ”

Hearing that the rebels led the horses and gave back the money, He Yongnian, who was still worried on the mountain, suddenly came to his senses.

"Since Wang Chaoyang is courteous to the young lady's family, then our He family's shop in the city will be safe!" He Yongnian stood up and arched his hand: "Since our He family has entered the Shu Palace, we can't all act according to the rules of the Jiangmen in northern Sichuan. We have to think about what the prince will do with Wang Chaoyang. ”

"Mother-in-law, the fourth child has thought it through!" He Youyi's wife, Qin, hurriedly agreed in a soft voice: "Youyi is in Luzhou, but the prince trusts him a lot." Give him all a state! The slightest mishandling of our work here will ruin the future of righteousness! ”

"The fourth is right!" The old lady bowed her head in agreement, "It's just that the son of this world has a disposition to deal with things, the old body doesn't know anything, and the fourth ......."

"Except for Head Chen, Luo Jianjun and Mr. Hong, the villain has never seen the son." He Yongnian sat down helplessly, "The young master has a letter, but he said that some young people are heroic, smart and wise; Flattering words such as being kind-hearted and having the world in mind. What does the prince think, the ...... of us courtiers?"

"From an old point of view, Yi'er doesn't say anything like flattery!" The old lady Kong shook her head, "My son knows best!" Yi'er's heart is higher than the sky, he acts decisively, and he has always been haunted by his father's death. If he wants to admire anyone, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky! According to the old body, he not only won the trust of the son of the world with the dedication of his whole family, but also inevitably risked his family's life to win fame! In this way, this merit must be ......."

The old lady stopped and said nothing. She looked at her daughter, then at her daughter-in-law, and finally stopped at He Fu. This old servant is the person she trusts the most.

"Kasuke." The old lady Kong stopped the old servant, "The old body wants you to work hard tomorrow morning and run to Guang'an Prefecture." Present the letter written by the old body to the world! ”

"Mother!" He Fengyi immediately stood up and shouted, "Now the Hou family doesn't know if it's against it!" What if the Son of the World wants us to send troops to destroy the rebels? ”

"Could it be that the Hou family is rebellious, and you have to follow your man to rebel?"

He Fengyi's words finally angered her mother: "If your man is against you, you have to support the court to quell the rebellion!" Don't forget, you are from the He family! Don't forget, your father is also a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty when he dies! ”

"Mother-in-law, don't blame your daughter-in-law for being too talkative." Seeing that the old lady was angry, the Qin family cautiously raised his worries: "Mother-in-law, this letter is not easy to write scribble!" The black and white characters left the handle, and it is difficult to do righteousness in Luzhou! ”

"You two rest assured!" The old lady let out a sigh of relief, "In the letter, the old body is not the surviving of the He family, but the descendants of Nankong!" ”

Note 1: After the Jingkang Change, Kong Duanyou, the 48th eldest grandson of Confucius and the hereditary Yan Shenggong, moved south with Gaozong of the Song Dynasty to form the Southern Sect; HIS YOUNGER BROTHER KONG DUANCAO'S SON KONG FAN (FAN) WAS NAMED THE SHENG GONG OF YAN BY THE PSEUDO-QI AND JIN DYNASTIES, AND WAS THE NORTHERN SECT. This was the beginning of the division between the north and the south of Kongmen.

The lineage of Nanzong was passed to the fifty-third generation grandson Kong Zhu, Yuan replaced Song, Kong Zhu was unwilling to return to the Yuan Dynasty, so he used the Confucian golden mean, and did the act of "letting the lord", Shi Yuan did not follow the Yuan, resulting in the interruption of Kong's lineage, and the decline of Nanzong.

The Yuan Dynasty was crowned by the Yan Shenggong Kong Sihui, the fifty-fourth grandson of Confucius, and the eighth grandson of the first generation of the Northern Song Dynasty. Yuan Renzong "personally checked the genealogy of the Kong clan in detail", and believed that Kong Sihui, the son of Kong Huan, a farmer in Qufu, was a "descendant" of Confucius, so he named him the Holy Duke of Yan. At that time, Kong Sihui had already entered the government as a magistrate, and successively taught Confucianism in two counties.

The Ming and Qing dynasties both recognized the division of the Yuan Dynasty, which continues to this day. Therefore, today's descendants of Confucius are all descendants of the farmer Kong Huan.

Note 2: The genealogy of the Hou family, Hou Guowei (Hou Tianxi) married two wives, Yang and Xu, and gave birth to six sons, including Gongheng and Gongzhen. The plot needs to be here, and the sound wood is apocryphal.
