Chapter 919: Looking back suddenly, the drooping hair of the past has grown
There were countless major events in the Ming Dynasty, compared to Jingnan's northern expedition to quell the rebellion...... The four years of Xuande seem to be nothing, but for the great tomorrow, the major events that began this year have undoubtedly shaken the world.
Below the concubine of the feudal king, he was hereditary and descended from the son-in-law. Below the general of Zhenguo, the quasi-imperial examination of agriculture and mulberry.
Since the south of Zhili, the world has been re-measured in acres.
The southerners served in the southern border guard, and the northerners served in the northern border guard, and the military households in the world were eliminated.
The errand service was merged into the field endowment, and the uniform service law was exempted, and those who evaded labor and taxes during the Hongwu period were exempted, and the Yongle Dynasty was exempted from seven or eight out of ten, the Hongxi Dynasty was exempted from five or six out of ten, and Xuande was exempted from three or four out of ten before four years. Farmland reclamation is advised, exempted from taxation within three years, and the servitude is halved within 10 years.
The commercial tax was redefined as 30 taxes and 1, and the municipal department was set up to levy taxes, which were verified by the Cabinet Department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Cabinet Department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate every year.
Half of the grain was shipped by sea. In Tianjin Wei, Jinzhou Wei opened the city. The three guards of Shenwei are the navy, and every three years old they train the Shenwei ship at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the Nanjing Military Department will garrison the town to watch it, and every three years old they go to the East, the West, and the South Sea.
All in all, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and then to the second year, the whole world gradually shook because of one measure after another. Fortunately, among these new policies, there are both strict and forgiving, which is precisely a combination of leniency and severity, and it only touches ordinary people little by little.
Fortunately, now the four seas are leveled, the north of the Wara and Tatar are too busy to take care of themselves, although the vassal kings are also making trouble, but the guards of the various domains have been collected, plus it is the hereditary time reduction below the concubine, etc., which was originally equivalent to the etiquette, although the king of Ning in Jiangxi took the lead in making trouble for a while, but he couldn't stand the king of Zhou, Zhu Youlian, the first to agree, the king of Lu and the king of Shu and other virtuous people also put on a posture of respect, and the edict of the court rewarded a lot of things, and the other vassal kings saw that their arms could not twist their thighs, and the noise gradually stopped.
For the big families, this shock is not small, especially the rich gentry landlords in the south of the Yangtze River. However, when the famous cold-faced Du was "demoted" to Nanjing, he was ordered to preside over the Qingzhang Tianmu affair in Jiangnan with Li Qing, and became Yu Qian's solid backing, these big families were unwilling and fell into a dilemma.
It's just that breaking the ice is the most difficult thing in the world after all, from one province to several provinces and even the world, it will take another three years. Zhang Yue Xiantou has moved from the left servant of the military department to the left servant of the household department, and in this year, he moved the head of the household department. Although it took him five years to go from a squire to Shangshu, Shangshu, who is in his early thirties, although he doesn't know if there is a precedent for looking at ancient and modern times, at least this dynasty is unique. And Zhang Yue is not in the military department, and earlier on the grounds that the Zhang family is full of people, thinking that Zhang Yue should avoid suspicion, the voice is gradually lowering, after all, Zhang Fu relieved the government affairs, Zhang You was seriously injured and recuperated at home, and the rest of the juniors, although they had officials to command and command, were only in one place after all, not in the important places of the Governor's Mansion as before.
As the old saying goes, it is thirty years old, and now Zhang Yue is over thirty years old, and his eldest son Jingguan is already twelve years old. On this day, Zhang Jing got married, and he greeted him at the door in a new outfit, but those guests who came down would stay in front of him for a while and say a few words, but a person would often ask a word of age, and even if he looked up and down meaningfully, those eyes made Jing Guan a little uncomfortable.
The Zhang family has two nobles, and Zhang Yue is a civil official, although there are many enemies in the court, but there are also many friends, so this time Zhang Yue married his sister, and the threshold of the Zhang family was almost broken. Marriage is originally the most important time to look at a family connection, although Wu'an Hou Hutong is more than one house in Shangshu Mansion, but the two families are two rooms under the same branch, and one is an in-law, so it is naturally convenient. Expecting that there were many guests, Zhang Yue's house would not be able to sit down, and the two families had set aside a place for people to rest, and even the Wu'an Hou Mansion had borrowed a lot of family members to come over, so that the inside and outside were finally maintained without any chaos.
In the boudoir, Du Juan looked at Zhang Jing, who was already dressed up, in the room, and saw that her face was full of awkwardness, and she couldn't help but smile: "Why, when it's time to get married, you're afraid?" β
"Who's afraid!" Zhang Jing frowned, and when she saw Cui's mother next to her hurriedly stopping her, she could only sigh, but she stepped forward and gently tugged at her sister-in-law's clothes, and said softly, "I just don't want to be separated from my sister-in-law." β
"Where are they separated? The house is located in the fence alley south of the South Bridge, and the carriage is only a few steps away, and your future husband is the most honest and honest person, are you still afraid that he will stop you? If it's inconvenient to come over, let someone say something, I'll go over immediately, look up and don't look down, don't bother me when the time comes. How did Du Juan not know that Zhang Jing had been clinging to herself since she was a child, and when she saw that she said this, her eyes were still slightly red, so she persuaded in a low voice, "Cheer up, this happy day looks unhappy, aren't you afraid that he will feel distressed?" β
"Sister-in-law!"
The two sisters-in-law joked for a while, and the originally sentimental atmosphere was diluted by seven points. Seeing that Zhang Jing was still a little nervous, Du Juan had to pull back and forth, until Zheng Fangfei, Li Yun and Zhao Fen came, she left for a while, but when she walked through the verandah, she saw Jing Guan rubbing her arms vigorously there.
"What are you doing here?"
As soon as Jing Guan turned his head and saw that it was his mother, his grinning expression was immediately put away, and he lowered his hand and called his mother, standing there without even raising his eyes. Seeing him like this, Du Juan couldn't help but think of Zhang Yue who always said that everyone is a strict father and mother, and their family is a strict mother and father, don't blindly let your son have awe and lose closeness. But Zhang Yue has few days at home after all, how did she not know that her son was so serious that she was not afraid of herself at all, so she asked Cui's mother to do things first, and then slowly stepped forward.
"What's the matter?"
As soon as he heard this, Jing Guan suddenly made a bitter face, and it took a long time before he spoke: "Mother, how do you know that I have something?" β
"How many roundworms do you have in your stomach, I don't know?" Du Juan looked at his eldest son, who was only half a head younger, and smiled angrily, "Although you stand in order, your eyes are erratic, and you have something to say at a glance, otherwise why do you have to twist so much?" β
Jingguan knew that his mother's heart was like a mirror, and he couldn't hide anything, but after all, he was still a little lucky, but he was desperate at this time, so he had to honestly hang his head and say: "Mother, I was standing at the door today, but everyone who came in looked at me vigorously, and their eyes were very strange. Later, when I came to the inner courtyard, I heard someone talk about it, saying that my aunt was married, and then I was the next ...... Mother, I'm not thinking about anything else, I'm just worried about ......"
In a big family, sensible is always earlier, Zhang Yue Du Juan is strict with his children, and he has not fallen from reason to practice since he was a child. At this time, Du Juan heard these things from her son's mouth, and thought that he had been instigated by something, or that she had some heart, but the word worry dispelled her vigilance and annoyance. Although she is released to study and practice martial arts every day, how could she not know about her son?
"Afraid of what? Afraid of blind marriage and dumb marriage? Seeing that Jingguan nodded honestly, Du Juan sighed secretly in his heart, and then pulled his son over, and then gently flicked his fingers on the door of his head, "You don't know your father's temperament yet?" If you really want to be the right person, or if you marry according to what colleagues are friends in the same year, etc., when will your little aunt get your Uncle Xiaofang? Since he can't look at the girl's house, I will always help you take a good look at it, find a real agreeable, and let you meet once or twice if you have the opportunity, and will never agree to come down casually because those are your father's close friends and colleagues. β
Jingguan has a few classmates who have good friendships in the small academy, some are poor, some are rich, but they are all two or three years older than him, and some are already married. In the casual conversation on weekdays, I often hear them talk about marriage, but several of them have never seen their fiancΓ©es at all, and he always feels uncomfortable for this kind of scene. After all, when his father was fine, he once told him about the scene when he was in Shandong with his mother, and Zhu Ning, who often visited the door, also joked with him, and although the little aunt and Uncle Xiaofang did not see each other much, they also exchanged letters, so it was difficult for him to imagine what it was like to marry a wife who had never seen a person before. At this time, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after talking to his mother for a while, he rushed away.
"This kid!"
Giving marriage is different from marrying, the Zhang family has been lively from the box two days ago to today, most of the friends are looking at his face, but after all, his eldest brother still has the duty to send relatives, so as soon as the relatives arrive, many etiquette is finished, and when it comes to the auspicious time of sending relatives, he will naturally lead people to send relatives. The dowry had been sent the day before, and it was sixty-four lifts. Although he knew that someone must have said something extravagant, if he hadn't stopped him, his mother would have been able to make one hundred and twenty-eight lifts, which was already saving and saving by making the best use of things. When he arrived at Fang's house, looking at the new decoration inside and out, and when the etiquette finally came to an end, he and the British Gong Zhang Fu, who was the elder of the man, were promoted to the chief without saying a word.
The eldest brother who came to see off on behalf of his mother's family has naturally always been the chief.
The Fang family was different from the civil and military officials of the Zhang family who came to congratulate him, they were all young people in small academies, including poor academy children and many noble children, so the atmosphere was more relaxed. Zhang Fu and a few older generations were better when they were there, and when they retired and went to the other side to talk, the groom, the usual teacher, was immediately drunk and half-drunk, and even had the courage to come up and toast Zhang Yue. Seeing that this young Shangshu Lord did not have the usual seriousness at all, but did not refuse to come, and asked and talked to everyone kindly, everyone was very excited.
Under these circumstances, the groom's official Jing finally survived and was able to go to his cave room to spend candle nights with some soberness, while Zhang Yue was already drunk and unconscious when he returned home. Although he also has official business and social interactions on weekdays, but his position is high, others dare not be too presumptuous, and the ministers and ministers are also measured, and the few times he has been drunk recently is still with Xu Kuo when he is hungry, so now seeing him in this situation, not to mention Du Juan and Amber Autumn Marks Nahan, even Zhang Zhuo and Sun's parents laughed for a while. Only the confused Zhang Yue himself knows what it means for him to marry his sister.
Zhang Jing said that he was a sister, but in fact he was much younger than him, he had almost always regarded the little girl as a daughter, and now that his sister was married, it was as if his first child was married, which made him feel more like an elder all of a sudden - although he was already the father of several children very early.
Therefore, after a night of hangover, he naturally hadn't woken up from that headache, Du Juan told him about the troubles of his eldest son Jingguan, and then said with a serious face without waiting for him to speak: "Although he thought about it a little early, this matter is not a joke. Among the guests who sent their relatives yesterday, Mrs. Wu'anhou, Mrs. Baoding, Mrs. Xing'anbo, and Mrs. Guangningbo all euphemistically mentioned marriage, as for the civil officials, Mrs. Xu Shangshu, who is good friends with you, said that her eldest granddaughter is a good daughter, and Mrs. Guo Shangshu said that she is the youngest daughter who is good at calligraphy and painting...... All in all, plus the other ones that have expressed their meanings, there are no less than twenty, but those who have really mentioned it clearly should be these six. β
Because Zhang Jing's marriage Zhang Yue dealt with it quickly, he suddenly solved the marriage before others could put forward a specific meaning, so others had to stare dryly, but Jingguan is only eleven now, according to his plan, he doesn't plan to let him marry until seventeen or eighteen, but he didn't expect others to be targeted. He also knows that Jing Guan is a likable person, and he is a gift from the emperor, no matter who thinks that he has a great future, but the child is only a little older, as for it? Although he also had the experience of a blind date meeting at the beginning, he was better than the current Jingguan at that time, so it took a long time to decide on the marriage.
"If people really mention it in front of you, just say it's what I said, the child is too young to see the heart, and after a few years, it's okay to marry my sister, if it's really a son who also marries a daughter-in-law, I really feel that I'm old, God knows I'm only thirty ......" Zhang Yue couldn't help but sigh heavily, and then looked at Du Juan and said, "Sister Juan, after this time I go north with Emperor Hu to tour Kaiping, I plan to take a leave to go back to Kaifeng to worship my grandmother and bring the children with me." β
Among the children in the family, except for Jingguan, who had also seen Gu's, the rest of the children had never seen their grandmother, so Du Juan immediately agreed. Sensing that Zhang Yue suddenly held her hand, she didn't break free, just looked at him quietly.
"I have several fortunate things in my life, one is to worship under my father-in-law, not only to learn the classics of history, but also countless principles of dealing with people; Second, Emperor Taizong and the current emperor are willing to use my strategy, and they also support it at critical moments; Third, there are many elders who have always loved me, not to mention my parents, Uncle Yuan and Uncle Lobby, if it wasn't for my grandmother's support that day, I wouldn't be where I am today. My grandmother helped me a lot along the way, and the uncle showed me the letter of the day...... Now that I think about it, my grandmother really went too early. For her sake, I helped the Gu family a lot of Zhuangtian a few years ago, but after all, this is only a specimen and not a specimen, this time I go back, but I want to see if it is disposed of over there, if there is such a powerful person as Huanzhang, I can carry one or two. β
The so-called family, if there is no outstanding one in several generations, it will fall in a moment. Although the Gu family has a Gu Bin, he is a scholar after all, and he is poor and self-controlled, the Gu family has not been stained with much light, and he does not dare to come to the door easily because of his many means. If he knew that he had changed, if he didn't know, he could only see if there was anything outstanding in the Gu family's future life.
