Chapter 24: The Importance of a Good Birth
CHAPTER XXIV
Yang Shangjing was surprised that his "family" was rich, and it was not a pot with a problem with his inherited memory, but when he was at home, he was locked in the house all day long to study, and when he went out for a walk, he was also studying or pretending to be a poet with other scholars, which was not compatible with the general affairs of the family.
In addition, raising horses, especially the production activities of raising war horses, is too high, these horses are not only better than people to eat, but much better, it can be said that a qualified war horse can at least top two or three ordinary people's consumption.
Just as Yang Shangjing was thinking about this question, Yang Er stepped forward and saluted him: "Yang Er has seen the young master." ”
This is a man in his thirties, probably because he has been running outside all the year round, his skin is dark, and a huge scar on his face is cut from the corner of his left eye to his chin, which makes the whole person a lot fiercer, and the thick calluses on his hands prove that he is also a good hand at dancing knives and guns.
Uncle Zhong next to him began to explain, but he was a little vague: "Yang Er is the head of our family's nursing home, and he is in northern Fujian all the year round, and the young master studied hard at home in his early years, so he should not have seen it." ”
Hawkers, understood, isn't this just the white gloves of the family, responsible for doing some shady things in northern Fujian, this time it should be that there is no manpower in the family, and these people have to be transferred out, after all, the entire Yang family is now, and he can make a name for himself without relying on the shadow in the officialdom, but he can't just fold it like that.
"Excuse me, and let's go south." Yang Shangjing waved his hand and asked Yang Er to get up, "Let's continue to walk south, and arrive in Huangyan County one day earlier, so it's better to make a difference." ”
Hearing this, regardless of whether it was the Cai family who was observing from the sidelines, or the family members in the Chengguo Mansion, their hearts were full of contempt, if you wanted to arrive earlier, you would have gotten on the boat in Tongzhou, and you would have to go all the way for so long?
But this kind of disdain is just think about it, everyone will not say it, whether it is the Cai family or the family members in the Chengguo Mansion, they all know the meaning of his choice.
Unlike Yang Shangjing's inner surprise and calm appearance, the head of the family sent by Cheng Guogong really had all kinds of understanding, and he quickly became one with Yang Er, who was of the same status as himself, touting each other and chatting about his own eventful years.
Each family actually has its own private group of people, do some unsightly deeds, this is also the unspoken rule of the feudal era, strictly speaking, the time of the development of the Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong's family is still a little late, compared to the Jian'an Yang family, a century-old family, it is still a lot worse, after all, Yang Daqing, known as the ancestor of the 10,000-mu forest, not only pretended not to be an official in the Ming Dynasty, but also the foreign rulers of the Yuan Dynasty did not give face, such a family, such a heritage, such a heritage, if it was really as clean as it was on the surface, it's called a ghost.
The most important thing is that even if they don't know the scenery of the Yang family in Jian'an, they can guess one or two from Yang Rong's various scenery in the capital back then, at that time, they did not accept high bribes, but made a report to the emperor every once in a while, and then feasted on many friends in Beijing.
"Although the capital is set in Shuntianfu today, the name of this line has been changed, but Nanzhili is the land of Taizu Longxing after all, and the imperial court has never neglected it, the old lady's protégé is old, but many people are serving here, do you want to enter this Yingtianfu and say hello to them?" Uncle Zhong, who was driving the car, asked while shaking his horsewhip.
Yang Shangjing was silent for a moment and shook his head: "Forget it, when we get to Yingtianfu, we will directly change to the waterway to go south, trace the Yongning River upstream, and go up to Huangyan County. ”
Jin Yingneng put a Cai family or Wanyan next to him, there must be a channel to send and receive messages, he has been walking by land for so long, and the news of others is estimated to have been sent to all the nodes along the line, at this time to place Yang Rong's protégé is simply patting his ass and telling people - come on, I have nothing else to do with the little master, I just have a good background, and there are protégés of my grandfather everywhere, there is a kind of you who will kill me!
Uncle Zhong obviously thought of this, so after listening to Yang Shangjing's words, he nodded slightly: "What the young master said is that the old servant owes consideration, and those protégés who want to come to the old lady have already received the news of Beizhili and have a certain understanding of the affairs of the center, so they will not blame the young master for this." ”
Yang Shangjing nodded, he could be regarded as exposing this problem, anyway, when he left Beijing, the foreign court gave him a very clear signal, that is, he can toss at will in Zhejiang, as long as he doesn't go too far and make a public grievance boiling, then his performance appraisal must be on top.
After a while, Yang Shangjing still couldn't hold back the question in his heart after all, and asked: "Uncle Zhong, I see that Yang Er and they are all one person and two horses, our Jian'an Yang family lives in Fujian, which is a place with many mountains and rivers, and the boat has always used more than horses, how can they raise such a batch of good horses?" ”
Uncle Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "These horses are all war horses, but they are not the things of our Yang family, although the origin is not very clear, but they always can't get out of the stables of these guards in the southeast. ”
This is the importance of origin, having a good ancestor is stronger than anything else in the feudal era, and the traverser in Niucha does not have a good background, and he has to take away a lot of detours for a platform to show his strengths, and he really expects "heroes to respect regardless of their origins"......
Hehe, now in this orthodox dynasty, Yang Shiqi is the only one who is in a high position, who remarried with his mother, and then was allowed by his stepfather to change his surname, but his stepfather is also an official eunuch, and he still wants to climb to a high position without this background? You can be sour to death when you start.
So Yang Shangjing nodded in understanding, and then said: "Speaking of which, how can my Yang family now also have a hereditary commander of the Zheng Erpin military position, although there is no actual teaching of soldiers and horses, but it is nothing to raise some military households and families, and seconded some people and horses, even if the court knows, it will be laughed off." ”
