Chapter 108: Their own pastimes
If you think about it carefully, many things are actually unnecessary, but they are from their own perspectives, and after a few involvements, they become chatter. This may not only be the cause of a certain person, but also the influence of the larger environment.
The new dynasty has been in the country for decades, in fact, there are already a lot of lengthy burdens, after the entanglement of the interests of all parties, it has become a situation that cannot be broken, and many things must really be serious, unless 100 percent determination, otherwise it is just ants shaking the elephant, and it is beyond our strength.
The court understood these truths, and most of those who tried to reverse the situation ended up depressed, with little actual success.
In this world, no one can continue to exist without it.
The first few decrees, to the bottom, can be described as a toss for the people. At present, the implementation of the green seedling method in the south of the Yangtze River has brought a great impact to the people, and for the people in the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River, the green seedling method gives people a sense of burden. Compared with this, it is the law that Fang Tian loses evenly, verifying the field, which is very popular with the people. It is because after the Qingmiao Law was blocked, most of the efforts of Jiangning Mansion were used on this, and the people supported it, but those rich landlords also had great opinions.
It is really implemented, and there are many obstacles. After all, a large part of these rich families are in the officialdom, and even if they don't, they have dealings with some officials, in addition to this kind of officialdom relationship, if they unite to strike the market or something in private, the whole Jiangning will immediately become chaotic. The person sitting in the hall in Jiangning's mansion has not known how many gray hairs he has had these days, and on the one hand, he should deal with the kind words and persuasions of his colleagues, and on the other hand, he must always pay attention to the backlash of those rich landlords.
It's really busy.
Under a certain premise, Huang Xiao replaced most of the errand clerks in Jiangning Mansion, and at the same time requisitioned the children of the poor family to run errands, increased their salaries, and tried his best to jump out of the cage and really do something.
However, not long after, when the errand who went out to measure the fields, survey the water conservancy, and investigate the conscription returned, they all had blue noses and swollen faces, and abandoned him one after another.
Right now, the whole yamen was deserted, and the repeated blows made him wonder if he was doing the right thing.
In April, Huang Xiao finally loosened a little after asking the commander to transfer troops, but he knew that this was just a "good intention" released by the other party, in order to tell him that this was the end of it.
Huang Xiao is not a newcomer to officialdom, it stands to reason that he should no longer have the impulse and indignation of a novice, and after such a long time, he should know that set of rules. But he didn't stop there, and finally something went wrong.
There was a group of ordinary people on the border of Jiangning Mansion who opposed the new law and rose up. When Huang Xiao ran to transfer troops, the army did not have a bird, and in great anger, Huang Xiaoqing scolded the commander of the Jiangning army with a face, leaving a sentence "The erector cannot be conspired with." ”
At the moment, after struggling with the twenty or thirty people who could be summoned in the house, Huang Xiao led the team to quell the chaos.
This matter was probably taken as a joke, and in private, I don't know how many people waited for him to retreat, come back with a gray face, and then tell him what it means to be "self-defeating".
This matter is also known in the prison, and the cell leader Liu Lao'er showed some appreciation, and said to Wang Ning in private: "Although those scholars are like weak chickens, their ability to regard death as their home is really commendable...... and then he said abruptly, "However, I am afraid that I will kill myself by going here, and that Lord Huang will not be able to come back."
Wang Ning listened and said suspiciously: "He is a five-grade official of the imperial court, how can the army not save him when he dies!"
Liu Lao'er sneered: "According to the regulations, Lord Fuzun can mobilize the army, but this time no one listened to his order, it can be seen that they are planning to wait and see...... Even if the above asks about the crime, eighty percent doesn't take it to heart. ”
Wang Ning thought about it and felt that these things had little to do with him, so he no longer paid attention to them.
At the same time, on the chess stall by the Qinhuai River, Qin Lao sat alone, and soon after, he finally sighed, called the family behind him, asked the owner of the tea stall next to him for a pen and paper, wrote a letter, and instructed: "You send this letter to the sailor camp outside the city."
The family left in response, the old man sighed again, and finally smiled bitterly, the new dynasty came to the civil officials in power, and the military generals were deeply excluded, fighting openly and secretly, and the opportunity to watch jokes like this would naturally not be missed.
It's just that how can you delay the affairs of your family and country for your own selfishness. In such a good place as Jiangning, how could there suddenly be people who rebelled, in other words, how could it be ordinary people who rebelled. Huang Xiao must be more auspicious than lucky.
Qin Lao is no longer in court now, and he can only count on the sailor battalion to send troops to help him on his son's affection.
The old man only hopes that there is enough time now.
came back to his senses, began to clean up the chess stall, not far away hurriedly ran a figure, to the front, panting at him, half a day to calm down, eagerly said: "You often play chess here Qin Lao, right?"
Qin Lao nodded and explained: "In Jiangning City, there are many people called Qin Lao, but Qin Lao, who can play chess here, should be the old man."
Mu Rong's face suddenly bloomed with joy, like a peach blossom in spring, pink and lovely.
"Grandpa, my young master will come to you if he has something!"
"Who is your young master?"
"His name is Wang Ning." Mu Rong looked at the old man in front of her tightly, and secretly beat the drum in her heart, for fear that the old man would say that she didn't know this person.
Qin Lao thought about it, but he didn't know that his memory had deteriorated a little because he was old, so he didn't answer for a long time.
"It's the young man who played chess with you......" Mu Rong hurriedly explained, especially the last three words of the young man, she bit the word heavily. Watery eyes sparkled, and a puddle of deep water looked like it was about to pour out.
Old Qin suddenly sighed: "That little ruffian, speaking of which, the old man hasn't seen him for a while?" How? Was he beaten? Qin Lao said, probably on purpose, "I told him before that those people were not something he could provoke, and they were going to die......
Mu Rong shook her head violently, the tears in her eyes were thrown out, as if she was blown by the wind, and her eyes were red: "No, no, the young master is still alive and well...... He was just jailed, and there has been no news for several days! ”
"I went to see them and wouldn't let me in...... Grandpa, the young master said that you are a good person, you must help him! The little girl said that the pear blossoms brought rain, and the old man Qin couldn't feel distressed when he looked at it, so he regarded this girl as his granddaughter.
The old man didn't care about cleaning up the scattered chess pieces, and said comfortingly: "It's okay, it's okay, you tell me first, why did his kid go in!"
Mu Rong shook her head: "I don't know."
"They didn't say anything when they arrested someone?" The old man had a strange expression.
Mu Rong nodded: "Young Master Shuo told me not to worry, take care of the family, he will come back when he goes...... However, he has not returned yet, and ...... When he left, it was like explaining the aftermath...... "The watery eyes were soaked with tears, and the tears of beans rolled down in an instant, kissing the old man's heart."
said softly: "Don't cry, don't cry, grandpa will find a way for you!"
After crying for a while and comforting for a while, the old man finally coaxed the little girl over, and it felt really tiring more than the last court battle in the court.
The old man smiled bitterly in his heart, took Mu Rong home, and handed it to his wife to greet him.
The old man's home is not magnificent, if Wang Ning sees it, he will probably feel that this does not match the identity of the old man, of course, if you look closely, there is a simple bookish atmosphere inside and out, the layout is elegant, elegant and solemn, but it is in line with the old man's temperament.
Of course, if you retire from the officialdom, you will not deliberately put on an official show, be casual and easy-going, and also make people close.
There are not a few envoys in Qin's old family, and the only family member has been sent out before, and now he can't find someone to ask Jiangning Mansion, the old man smiled bitterly, and immediately thought of today's matter, how could he be so concerned in the past, so he made fun of himself in his heart.
After a while, his wife comforted Mu Rong and walked in, her face full of happiness.
"It's time to urge them, they're so old, and they haven't been a junior."
Qin Lao smiled and twisted his beard and said, "Well, this is something to talk to them about...... Especially Ruiqing, a twenty-seven or eighteen person, should also become a family. ”
"It's not all your fault." The wife was blaming.
Old Qin didn't care much, and talked about today's events: "Her young master has played a few games of chess with me, and he is a ...... Funny boy! I haven't seen him in the past few days, but I don't want to be arrested by Jiangning Mansion. ”
The wife suddenly said: "No wonder that girl is crying so distressing."
The two old men bought a grandchild under their knees, and when they saw Mu Rong at first glance, they really felt distressed, and then they also blamed the one in the prison for making such a good girl so sad.
The old lady instructed: "Call that kid over after a few ****, and the old woman wants to say a few words to him."
Qin Lao snorted, but did not object: "Well, I'll go over first and see, what happened...... I don't know who I recruited, the old man is very old, and he still runs errands for people......"
Qin Lao grunted out of the door, raised his hands, slumped his shoulders slightly, and slowly disappeared from view!
More than an hour later, the old man appeared in the Jiangning Mansion prison, and Lu Xian, the magistrate of Jiangning Mansion, personally accompanied him.
Liu Lao'er didn't recognize Qin Lao, but he recognized Lu Tuiguan, and greeted him respectfully at the moment, and then looked at Lu Tuiguan's attitude towards the old man, he didn't dare to slack off.
Qin Lao smiled gently, these vulgar etiquette could only be endured for a while.
"I heard that there was a person named Wang Ning in the prison recently?"
Liu Lao'er hurriedly nodded, after all, he was familiar with the game recently, and he still knew Wang Ning's name.
"It's in the middle."
"Take me to see it!"
Liu Lao'er personally led the way at the moment, and several people walked to the deepest room together.
"Hey, you stupid, I told you, it's not like this......" Hearing the voice from afar, Liu Lao'er was anxious when he heard it, if he called Shangguan to see it, he might not know how to discipline him.
"What is this?" Qin Lao asked curiously.
Liu Lao'er sneered and said: "The above orders to take care of the prince, and the little ones dare not be slow."
"Oh......"
When they reached the door, the two of them sat opposite each other in the cell, killing passionately.
"Ahem......" Liu Lao'er coughed a few times.
"Liu Tou, if you are sick, go to the pharmacy to grab medicine, don't bother me......"
"Ahem......"
"I said you...... Hey, Old Qin, why are you here! ”
Qin Lao looked at Wang Ning, who was slightly cramped, and did not speak, and said to Lu Tuiguan next to him, "Can you let the old man talk to him?"
Lu Tuiguan hurriedly said: "Xiaguan will go out." After that, he told Liu Lao'er to retreat.
"Hey, you're doing well!"
Wang Ning sneered: "Thank you!"
Boss Qin probably didn't expect to be able to sit in prison so comfortably, so he looked at the decoration in the prison and sighed a few times. At this time, Lu Tuiguan outside had already personally moved a chair over, and the old man sat on it, looking at Wang Ning inside with a smile.
The big man next to him glanced out of his messy hair, and asked curiously, "Big brother, who is this old man?"
Wang Ning thought that this big brother's cry was really uncomfortable, and immediately explained: "The idle old man who plays chess and fishes by the Qinhuai River should be idle and panicked, come to see me."
"Oh......" Dalang thought for a moment, "that's really idle." ”
Qin Lao snorted softly, Wang Ning looked over, and then sat down by the door, showing a helpless look: "That little girl went to find you?"
Old Qin nodded: "Otherwise, do you think the old man will come over?"
"Yes, you always wish I would suffer some losses! However, now that you have shown up, I'm afraid no one will dare to mess with me! ”
Qin Lao said: "Don't talk so much, it's the opposite...... In a few days, there may be many troubles to find you. ”
Wang Ning didn't want to think so far, the only thing he cared about in front of him was the girl named Mu Rong outside, so he pleaded: "The old man helps me tell her, don't worry, you can go out in a few days."
"Hey, I'm afraid not." Qin Lao looked confident, and followed: "That little girl in Yongwangfu has a big temper, how could I easily let you out when I sent you in this time......" Speaking of this, the old man gloated and said: "I'm afraid I'm going to come over in the next few days, in short, there must be your guilt."
Wang Ning was helpless, her face was full of bitterness: "You really can't offend a woman."
"The old man came here today to see how you are doing, and he still has no intention of fishing you out...... Besides, you've been doing so much lately, so it's better to hide here. ”
"Hey, you know everything?"
"As far as your ability is concerned, everyone can know what to do." The old man opened his mouth with disdain.
Wang Ning thought to herself, but excused herself: "When I didn't have silver before, I forced myself to do something, and my life became interesting...... I thought about it and thought about it, and came up with this method......"
"Not doing your job." The old man said indignantly, and took the opportunity to persuade: "Enke is imminent, if you are willing to be extraordinary, try it!"
Wang Ning was not fooled, and interrupted Qin Lao: "Old man, don't deceive me...... Family and country, that's your business! ”
"Alas, not motivated!"
Wang Ning smiled: "I just don't want to carry too many things, it's just that I'm so tired like you!"
Qin Lao sighed and agreed: "But this is also the reason."
