Seeing this, Feng Fule, who was sitting in the hall, also spoke, and after he coughed dryly, after attracting the attention of all the officials in the hall, he took the official document in his hand and said to the officials below: I think everyone has heard of the matter of the imperial court to govern the Yellow River, and now this matter has been decided by the imperial court, and this year, the imperial court will fully govern the river. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, a large amount of money and grain is needed to govern the river, but the imperial treasury has been insufficient in the past two years, so His Majesty issued an order and ordered: All the state capitals of Henan and Jiangbei provinces will levy money and grain on the spot to make up for the shortage of the imperial treasury. And set a deadline for us to have the money and food we needed ready by the end of April.

In order to complete the task assigned to us by the imperial court, Lord Xu Zuocheng of our province distributed the required money and grain to various states and counties in our province. Just now, the official received an official letter from the governor of the state, asking our county to collect the summer tax of the people first, and hand over the collected tax to the state capital at the end of March.

At this time, Liu Qian, the county lieutenant under the court, asked weakly: My lord, didn't you say that the deadline set by the imperial court was the end of April?

County Yin Feng Fule was in a bad mood at this time, and when he heard the brainless question of the county lieutenant Liu Qian, he was even more angry, and scolded Liu Qian: You go to the state city to find Lord Zhizhou and ask, the official can't explain it to you!

When Liu Qian heard Feng Fule's words, he also understood that the question just now was too stupid, so he sat on the chair and touched his nose, then lowered his head and said nothing.

Seeing Liu Qian's scumbag, Feng Fule became even more angry, and he couldn't help but secretly decide that he must get rid of this waste, and now he is really annoyed to see him.

But now is not the time to get angry with the waste, Feng Fule took a deep breath and asked Zhang Liewen, the head of the household under the hall: Director Zhang, can the county collect the summer tax within a month now?

When Zhang Liewen, who was full of beard, heard this, he got up and said to Feng Fule with a sad face: "My lord, it has just started spring, and the people have just planted grain, and they have not been able to harvest it after winter, and it would be good to collect half of the tax now."

When Feng Fule heard Zhang Liewen's words, he also understood very well in his heart, in fact, even he secretly scolded the moment he received the official document: Which bastard came up with the idea, now collect summer taxes, isn't this bullshit, the Mongolian adults in the court really treat the Han people as sheep on the grassland? It's simply playing with fire.

But although Feng Fule understands, he understands that there is a fart! The above asked for taxes and money, and he could resist the decree with a small county yin, so Feng Fule said to the officials under the hall with a serious face: Everyone, this is a matter of His Majesty's order, the matter is urgent and different from the past, we must do it well no matter what, if the matter is messed up, not only the official will be dismissed from office at that time, but everyone here will not have good fruit to eat! So, there is absolutely no room for error in this matter!

In the end, Feng Fule also looked at the people in the hall with a serious face, and asked everyone: Do you understand?!

When everyone heard this, they all got up and saluted Zhang Shihua and said: We will obey the order.

As a result, a tax collection campaign that had been advanced for many months was vigorously launched in the county seat.

And this day is only ten days away from Zhang Shihua's crowning day.

At the beginning, the county government still had a certain measure of taxation, but the county sent people to various townships and towns to inform the people and Lizheng, so that they were ready to pay taxes.

Don't look at those tax collectors and Li Zheng are all fellow villagers, but when the time comes, these fellows will not show mercy to your subordinates, if you really don't pay them, you will really die.

After all, most of the errand workers who collect taxes in the countryside are some scoundrels hired by the county government, that is, temporary workers in later generations, and they will do it, but it doesn't matter if you are a fellow villager or not.

So under such pressure, some of the more affluent people have paid taxes, although this means that their living standards will drop greatly in the next few months, but in this year it is good to have enough food to survive, where can this be managed.

But after all, the family is a minority, in the present, seven or eight out of ten of the people at the bottom belong to the kind of family is not rich, for them to pay taxes a few months in advance is simply to ask for their lives, so the helpless poor people can only delay, hoping to delay a few more days, hoping for a miracle.

In this case, ten days passed quickly, and the tax received by the county government was really only half as Zhang Liewen expected, so the tax collection methods outside the county gradually changed, gradually from mild to violent, and at the same time, Zhang Shihua's crown ceremony was also held as scheduled in such a turn.

In this era, the crown ceremony is a very important event for the family, it represents the transformation of family members from children to adults, and it is the "beginning of etiquette" of a person.

At the same time, because of the importance of the crown ceremony, the steps of the crown ceremony are also extremely complicated, and after the crown day is determined, three days before the crown day, it is necessary to start the "abstinence of guests", that is, "to worship the ancestors in the ancestral hall, and send invitations to the guests," and also to select a "positive guest" from the owner's relatives and friends through divination, and to select a "praiser" by the "main guest".

Then you have to start arranging it at home, the ancestral hall, the hall, these must be arranged.

Of course, Zhang Shihua was not clear about these etiquettes at first, but under the teaching of Aunt Xue, he temporarily memorized the etiquette that he had to abide by when he was crowned.

On the day of the crown, Guo Tianming, who was also Zhang Shihua's "quasi-father-in-law" as the "Zhengbin" and Guo Tianyang, who was also his second brother, rushed to Zhang's house early in the morning in full costumes.

Then under Zhang Liewu's personal greeting, he slowly walked into Zhang's house, and after entertaining the two, Zhang Liewu had to greet other guests, and when all the guests arrived and the auspicious time arrived, he would start to be Zhang Shihua and crowned.

In the back hall, Zhang Shihua is with Aunt Xue, because Zhang Shihua is the champion, so he doesn't have to greet guests, and Aunt Xue and them are not allowed to greet guests in this era of male superiority and inferiority.

I saw Zhang Shihua in the back hall wearing special clothes for men and crowns, his hair was groomed into a bun, and he was meticulously combed, which made his eyes look more and more energetic, and his tall and straight figure made Zhang Shihua look heroic at this time.

Aunt Xue looked at Zhang Shihua, her eyes were full of love, although she was not Zhang Shihua's biological mother, but she also single-handedly brought Zhang Shihua up, seeing this Zhang Shihua from a child who didn't know anything to become like this, her heart was also full of relief.

What's more, she also completed the entrustment of Miss (Zhang Shihua's biological mother) before her death, looking at the heroic Zhang Shihua in front of her, she secretly said in her heart: Miss, have you seen it, Shihua has grown up.

Thinking of this, Aunt Xue's eyes couldn't help but redden.

Just when Aunt Xue was a little embarrassed, she heard a gentle male voice ask her: Aunt Xue, what's wrong with you?

Aunt Xue came back to her senses, but Zhang Shihua on the other side was looking at her with a worried face, Aunt Xue hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said to Zhang Shihua with a smile: Shihua, Auntie is fine, Auntie is just a little too happy, our Shihua has finally grown up.

Zhang Shihua also smiled slightly when he heard Aunt Xue's words, and Zhang Qin, who was next to him, smiled and said to Aunt Xue: Sister-in-law, you are happy to be like this when Shihua is only one and crown, if you wait until Shihua's wedding day a month later, you won't be crazy.

Aunt Xue heard her younger siblings joking like this, smiled and didn't say anything, but turned her head to Zhang Shihua and said: Shihua should wait a minute, it's time for you to go out, but be ready.

Aunt Xue, you can rest assured, Zhang Shihua smiled and comforted Aunt Xue.

At this time, a subordinate also walked into the back hall, and after the little guy saluted Aunt Xue and Zhang Shihua's aunt Zhang Qin, he said to Zhang Shihua: The time has come for the eldest young master, it's time for you to go out.

When Zhang Shihua heard this, he nodded to the little guy, and then said hello to Aunt Xue and Zhang Qin, then straightened up and strode out of the back hall under the attention of Aunt Xue and Zhang Qin.

When Zhang Shihua came out of the back hall, everything was ready, and now the two brothers, Guo Tianming, who are the guests and the praisers, are waiting to give Zhang Shihua and the crown.

When Zhang Shihua arrived in the front hall, he first saluted the juniors of Guo Tianming's two brothers according to etiquette, and then thought about the elders in the family, that is, his father Zhang Liewu and uncle Zhang Liewen saluted respectively, and after the salute, Zhang Shihua walked to the mat placed in the hall and knelt on the mat facing Guo Tianming, the guest.

After Zhang Shihua knelt down and sat down, the crown officially began.

In ancient times, men's adult crowns were not just as simple as wearing hats, but three crowns, and the three crowns were all in a specific process.

I saw that Guo Tianming, who was the guest of honor, first took the cloth crown from the deacon's hand, and then said the poems taught to Zhang Shihua, the crown (these poems are some clichés, and the author will not say more.) Then for Zhang Shihua and the first crown, and after the first crown, Zhang Shihua had to go to the east room to change into a deep coat, increase the belt, put on shoes, and then go out of the room.

Then he was crowned again, and after the three times and the crown was completed, Zhang Shihua's clothes on his whole body were almost all changed.

After the crown, Zhang Shihua and Guo Tianming went to the hall to drink, in fact, it was to tell the emperor the queen of heaven or something, and after the wine, the most important drama for Zhang Shihua and the crown came, that is, "taking words".

In ancient times, as long as a person wanted to be an official, he would definitely take a "word" for himself, and the explanation of the name of the word not only contains the expectations of the elders for the younger generations, but also the expectations of Zhang Liewu for Zhang Shihua.

Then, it was indeed like that, I saw Zhang Liewu standing in the hall and saying to Zhang Shihua: "The etiquette is ready, this month is auspicious, the word Er, the word Kongjia, the fashionable person is appropriate, it is suitable for it, it will be guaranteed forever, and the word is Bochang." ”

Zhang Shihua heard the word "Bochang" that his father chose for himself, frowned and did not feel any surprise, he is the eldest son of the family, "take the word Bo" is supposed to be, as for "Chang", the word "Hua" has the meaning of prosperity, Zhang Liewu took this word for him not only to explain his name, but also to contain expectations for him, expecting Zhang Shihua to make the family prosperous.

So Zhang Shihua also saluted and said to his father: "Although a certain person is not sensitive, dare not come all night." ”

At this point, the crown was almost completed, and then Zhang Shihua went to the ancestral hall under the leadership of his father to tell his ancestors.

Then Zhang Shihua met the head of the family, although for Zhang Shihua personally, the relatives in his mind are only Aunt Xue, the second uncle, and the second aunt, but in fact, the Zhang family is still very large, and there are more than a dozen cousins, cousins, seven aunts, and eight aunts who are qualified to be worshiped by Zhang Shihua.

Although these people have no status in Zhang Shihua's heart, they are his elders after all, and Zhang Shihua can't help but worship them.

So after Zhang Shihua and his father Zhang Liewu came back from the ancestral hall, they began to bow to their elders one by one.

After worshipping the male elders, he began to worship the female elders, and when Zhang Shihua worshiped Aunt Xue, he looked at Aunt Xue with a loving face and subconsciously shouted "mother".

Aunt Xue was also stunned when she heard the word "mother" shouted by Zhang Shihua, although Aunt Xue immediately helped Zhang Shihua up from the ground, but Aunt Xue's trembling hands and reddish eyes were still the current mood of the betrayed Aunt Xue.

Yes, Aunt Xue is very excited now, although Aunt Xue has always regarded Zhang Shihua as her son, but after so many years, it is the first time that Zhang Shihua has called himself his mother, or on the day of his and the crown ceremony, how could Aunt Xue not be excited.

As for Zhang Shihua, he completely subconsciously shouted out this title, in fact, for Zhang Shihua, he has long regarded Aunt Xue as his mother, so when Zhang Shihua called out his mother, Zhang Shihua did not feel any discomfort, on the contrary, he still had some joy in his heart, because in this world, he also has a mother!
