Volume 2 Prosperous Bianjing Chapter 160 Wooing and Standing
The battalion commander and the head of the capital left, and Xiong Dachun and Liu Yuan stayed.
Liu Chengdong tapped the handrail with his index finger, "You all received the news from the village, right?" β
Xiong Dachun looked calm and looked at Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan's face was flushed, and he was about to scold, but fortunately he was stopped by Xiong Dachun.
Liu Yuan rubbed his neck with a constipated expression, "Those families are also worthy of the surname Liu?" is not greedy enough, actually colluded with outsiders, and wanted to bring down Li Xiang, oh no, the owner. His mother! Who gave them such boldness, and what did they use to fight the owner? β
"The seven Liu families don't want to think about it, when the door of the village is opened, will the gentry keep their promises? It's good that they can keep what they are, but it's foolish! β
Seeing that Liu Yuan was so conscious, Xiong Dachun was not polite, "Ahem, after all, Da Zhou is the same world as the scholars." Those people thought that with the support of the gentry and the big families, they would win undefeated. They thought they could control the hearts of the people in the village and resist the gentry, just like the owner of the village. Lack of greed, of course you have to fight. β
"My old bear doesn't know what's so good about the owner's regulations."
"But I always feel that the seven Liu families can't learn anything, if they are really powerful, seven or eight out of ten good things in Mingyue Village will be destroyed. At that time, Mingyuezhuang was not even as good as the ordinary house, at most it was a little better than the original Mingyuezhai. β
"Fortunately, the owner of the village has taken appropriate measures and has been covering up the good things in the village. How much Mingyuezhuang can make and how much it can earn in the future, only one or two people know. In this way, many of the big clan gentry see that the benefits are not very large, and they will not take the risk of messing up the war situation in Jiangnan, and it is too difficult for Mingyuezhuang. Otherwise, some big people will end up directly, and Mingyuezhuang will be really dangerous. β
"Although there are some big rebellions, but now, the Huang family and others still don't understand that many families in Mingyue Village really dare to rebel! It's ridiculous......"
Liu Chengdong sighed, took out the secret letter from Grandpa Liu Xiadu, handed it to the two brothers, and said quietly: "This old man wanted Liu Susu to be his granddaughter-in-law back then, so that his grandson could inherit Mingyue Village." But Lao Tzu felt that the two of them were not right-minded, and letting them gain momentum would be very detrimental to Mingyue Village. In order to ensure a smooth recruitment, Lao Tzu refused. β
"It's terrible now, look at what the people mean, they have arranged a way back for us."
After Xiong Dachun and Liu Yuan saw it, they laughed at it.
Liu Xiadu's grandfather is indeed very smart and knows how to win over more people.
The old man sent a secret letter to Liu Chengdong, promising to guarantee the interests of Liu Chengdong, Liu Yuan, Xiong Dachun, and the three sons. also said that after the matter is completed, as long as Liu Chengdong and others help his grandson control Mingyuezhuang, their grandfather and grandson will have another thanks, and so on.
The specific plan, Liu Xiadu's grandfather didn't write much. It is estimated that the old man himself didn't believe that Liu Chengdong would sit and watch his son-in-law be killed, so he didn't dare to reveal too much, right?
The old man couldn't trust Liu Yuan and Liu Sheng, who were very profitable, and he couldn't believe that Liu Chengdong, who was Li Xiang's father-in-law, would support the seven Liu families to seize power. He sent a secret letter to Liu Chengdong and others, to a large extent, just to let Liu Chengdong and others see that they would not help each other in the face of the same Liu family, and sit back and watch the progress of the situation.
Liu Yuan thought to himself: "What is the Liu family?" Many people don't come and go, and they used to fight for food, you fight for me, and they are intrigued on weekdays, and they can't see others at all. That kind of big family is too uncomfortable, Lao Tzu finally left, what is the close?! β
Xiong Dachun said in his heart: "It's still Li Xiang's kid who is smart, all the risks taken by the clan in the past are handed over to the public middle school, and Zhuang Min serves his own one-third of an acre of land beautifully, and how much he earns is his own, how comfortable." β
Mingyue Zhuang Gongzhong has never recognized the existence of big families, and Zhuang people can only register one man and one woman as one household. Each household in Mingyuezhuang only reports to the Baozheng to which it belongs, and Baozheng reports to Lizheng, who is directly responsible for the public middle school.
Once Liu Yuan had a feeling of resentment, he couldn't stop for a while, and said in his heart: "Lao Tzu, father and daughter, and He Meimei, the income of the workshop is about to explode, if you let those of you mess around and break the rules of the public school, then you will compensate Lao Tzu?" At that time, it will only be the seven of you who will be fat, and Lao Tzu's family can only drink soup, and it depends on your face to keep the current family business! β
"Besides, Lao Tzu is in his early forties, but he only has one daughter, and she belongs to the owner of the village...... Huh, the family property that Lao Tzu earns will be cheap in the end? Thinking about it, Liu Yuan was depressed, and he decided to go back and find a few more concubines and strive to give birth to a son.
At the same time, the tent of the three gentlemen, most of the Zhuang Ding of Mingyue Village.
Zhang Yongnian shook his hanging arm and greeted the three men who were seriously injured in bed, "Brother Yanzi, you also received the letter, what is your opinion?" β
The three men reclined down, smiled bitterly, and said to the brothers present: "The owner of the village is a kind person, is the Liu family of the seven households?" Some of you have also stayed in Mongolian studies and literacy classes, and I think the seven Liu families are really going to be powerful, and among us, there are only a few people who can keep their family property and small lives. β
More than a dozen young people looked different, and a few of the goods outside the tent also pricked up their ears to listen.
"The gentry are not easy to get along with, and my family was ...... back then" The three gentlemen thought of something bad and began to cough again. He shook his head and drove away the cluttered images, "Don't say that, don't say that, cough ......"
"Lao Tzu thought, what will the seven Liu families take to feed the gentry at that time? Not yet the interests of artisans, widows, martyrs, and small people. Although Lao Tzu is a battalion commander, it would be good to be able to keep Sancheng's family property, and you must have a number yourself. β
The three gentlemen were not energetic, and they barely cheered up, "Those Liu families can betray the owner for their own interests, what else can't they do?" At that time, the Liu family was not only fighting among themselves, but they were all fighting their own small abacus, and they couldn't wait to take away all the good things, and expect those people to do things according to the rules? Who are expected to keep the covenant? Who do you expect to defend our interests? β
"No matter how smart Liu Xia is, what can he do, whether he dares to, whether he can or not, whether he wants to stop the rest of the Liu family from reaching out indiscriminately. At that time, there was a great chaos inside and outside the village, some people joined the gentry and officials outside, some people fled with their families, and most of the people were uncertain and just wanted to protect themselves. β
"Liu Xia wants to sit firmly, and there must be someone to support him. Under the internal and external difficulties, he dared to turn his face with other people surnamed Liu? β
The words of the three men were thorough, and there was silence in the tent.
Seeing that the young man in front of him was gradually short of breath, his eyes showed a fierce light, and the three men raised their eyebrows: What the owner said in the letter is really useful! The owner is a trustworthy person, so there is no need to worry about the safety of his family.
Zhang Yongnian thought to himself: Other people's families don't know, my family is new, and it has always been looked down upon by the gentry, and it will definitely be reduced to fat when the time comes. Damn, I followed my grandfather to Mingyuezhuang, and I saw that life was getting better and better...... Lao Tzu is working the front line, you surnamed Liu, you still want to collude with outsiders to harm my grandfather, I will fight with you!
The three men thought to themselves: Those brothers who didn't come, you are confused! The owner of the village is merciful, and I hope that the owner of the village will be the same as last time, and at most drive people away......
The Holy Father specially gave a dinner to reward Fang Tianding and other generals who returned victoriously.
Fang Tianding accepted the reward, and after he was full of wine and food, he was polite with a group of old brothers and civil officials and martial artists who came to set up a close relationship, and then he was about to leave the Holy Prince's Mansion and return to his mansion to rest.
At this moment, one of Fang La's guards came over and whispered beside Fang Tianding for a while.
Fang Tianding came to the back house renamed the backyard of the palace, saw Fang La in the octagonal pavilion, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Get up, Kirin." Fang La admired Fang Tianding's junior like Fang Tianding very much, and made him get up. After looking at Fang Tianding carefully for a while, Fang La said leisurely: "You are really similar to your father." β
Fang Tianding almost stumbled, thinking: Ahem, if it doesn't look like it, wouldn't it be ......
"The Holy Father values ......" Fang Tianding said some clichΓ©s, to the effect that my father and I used to be very filed, but you didn't look down on me. It is the greatest honor of my life to be able to fight under your banner.
Fang La waved his sleeves and asked Fang Tianding to stop and touch his little belly, "It's all false, it's all nonsense." Since when did Lone start to hear nonsense? β
Fang Tianding couldn't react, and he didn't know what Fang La wanted to say.
Fang La Wangyue sighed, "It seems that I started when I entered Hangzhou City." The old brothers began to separate from Gu Sheng, and they no longer regarded Gu as a brother as before, but only Gu as a king. β
"At first, there were only a few people who told lies, said polite words, and didn't dare to say anything. Now, you are the same. β
Fang Tianding broke out in a cold sweat, and said in his heart: Holy Father, what do you want to say? Express your feelings for the moon, this kind of thing is not good at subordinates!
Fang La was no longer embarrassed for Fang Tianding, and said bluntly: "Qilin'er, do you think that many old brothers are afraid and don't dare to work as hard as before?" β
Fang Tianding pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Qi Qi Holy Father, subordinates, I really found that most of the old brothers did not invite the war. β
Entering the city of Hangzhou, anyone who has a ministry in the Fangla army, or who is related to a certain general, has changed his fate. Xiaomin, who had been bullied by landlords, gentry and officials, completed the role reversal and began to bully others.
"Tell the truth directly, and deserve to be a junior who is valued by Lonely." Fang La patted Fang Tianding's shoulder a few times, and a slightly chubby cheek appeared with a sullen expression, "These days, I've received a lot of news here. There are good people who bully other people's wives and daughters, and they don't do the same every day. Some people kidnapped hundreds of village women to the temple, and even the nuns were not spared. β
"There are also people who have a bunch of businessmen who dare to buy and sell anything. Qilin'er, do you still remember, what words are embroidered on the lonely flag? β
Fang Tianding raised his head, his eyes were full of excitement and longing, "Of course my subordinates remember." It is the equality of the law, and there is no superiority! β
The Holy Father patted on the finely carved railing, "It is the equality of the law, and there is no superiority, this sentence is not alone." This sentence was copied alone, and I thought it was smooth at the time, so I used it. β
"At that time, our Fang family ran a lacquer factory. Although the business is not easy, the money earned is enough to support the family. Lonely," taking a deep breath, Fang La continued to look back on the years before and after the incident, "Su Xi has made friends with good men, and he is good at martial arts, and he can't see that people are not as miserable as dogs." β
"Then, the Great Zhou changed to a new emperor."
"The new emperor likes flowers, birds, fish and insects, strange stones and famous paintings, and he doesn't know where he is so interested. The judge pressed Zhizhou, and Zhizhou pressed Zhixian, and they all rushed to send the emperor Lao'er Huashigang. Then, someone wanted to swallow our family's lacquer workshop, and tried every means to blackmail and drain the Fang family. β
Fang Tianding also recalled the events at that time, but he didn't dare to lose his temper in front of the Holy Father, so he had to suppress his anger.
Thinking of the experience of the Fang family being excluded before and after the incident, Fang Tianding was angry. Recalling the tragic experience of the displaced people before and after the uprising, Fang Tianding felt pity. Looking back at the before and after the incident, the faces of some people, Fang Tianding was furious.
The gentry, magistrates, and peers regard the Fang family as pigs and dogs, like fatty meat, how can the Fang family not rebel? !
