Chapter Eighty-Nine: Rescue Beauty
Fan Zuliang returned to Yuezhou
The yellow warbler was humiliated and rescued
Fan Zuliang returned from his mission and still returned to Yuezhou to take up his post.
Several times, I woke up in my sleep, in addition to missing my relatives, what I was haunted by was what I saw and felt in the Jin Dynasty. According to the convention, in addition to making a special report to the emperor and the governor, a report should also be written, especially for a mortal enemy like Jin, and it should be written what was discovered during the mission, such as Jin's political and military reforms and trends, and analyze his gains and losses in governing the country, so as to have some reference. Maybe he didn't need to listen to his opinion when such a report was written, but he always wanted to tell what he had seen and felt, especially about Mongolia, which was a new trend that had to be paid attention to. After some thought, I decided to write a letter to Zuo Xiangjing Yutang to express my thoughts.
In the letter, he told the prime minister of the current dynasty: At present, although the government of the Jin State is in good order and the people are rich, there are three major problems. The first is to favor Concubine Li. Concubine Li's brothers and sisters are pampered and arrogant, selling their official positions, making people's hearts sluggish, and showing signs of decay; Second, disasters occur frequently. In recent years, the Yellow River has flooded many times, and earthquakes and locust plagues have occurred from time to time, which has overwhelmed Jinting and his financial resources are insufficient. Third, the northern border is restless. The steppe Tatars often crossed the border to harass, and although Jin was still able to send heavy troops to suppress them, and exhausted manpower and material resources to build boundary trenches, the actual results were very small, and the Tatars gradually became fierce enemies. Compared with a few decades ago, the Jin royal family is in decline, and its strength is much worse than before.
Even so, I can't forget my worries. Leisurely everything, the solid frontier is great, the frontier is solid, and the community can be peaceful and unharmed. Diligent in farming, seedlings thrive, abundant products, strong military horses, vibrating military might, and the country is unified. Today's plan is to do three things well: first, consolidate border defense to prepare for the invasion of foreign enemies; In addition, the selection of strong generals, the training of soldiers and horses, both civil and military, the country and the people are safe, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the national fortune will be long-lasting; Third, increase revenue, reduce expenditure, and replenish the national treasury to prepare for the needs of wartime.
Fortunately, his father-in-law, Ye Zhengze, has been appointed as the coastal control envoy, and his mood is much lighter. I never thought that I suddenly met the yellow warbler in Lin'an Le Camp.
On that day, several colleagues accompanied an official of the Salt and Iron Division in the capital to the most famous alum building in Yuezhou for a banquet. Entering the lobby of the restaurant, he chatted with others while walking, and in a group of flowery courtesans, he vaguely glimpsed a familiar figure. Because of the fleeting moment, he didn't care.
After a while, the banquet began. Between each other, you come and go, staggered, and naturally there are no warblers and swallows, chanting and singing. To be honest, he doesn't like this kind of scene very much, all of them are pretentious, full of wine and meat, and they look drunk and dreaming of death, and they are shameless, which is disgusting. But as a person in the officialdom, he is quite helpless and can't avoid it.
While everyone was drinking with the courtesans, he walked out of the chamber and went out to breathe. Walking around the corner, I heard a strange sound. Take a few steps back, and listen carefully, the sound came from the private room on the left side of the corner, with the sound of a man's scolding and a woman's cry.
The door was not closed, and he walked in. A man in his thirties was full of wine and scolded viciously: You stinky bitch, thousands of people touch things that thousands of people do, the lord likes you, he is promoting you, you are not happy, you think you are the eldest lady?
The ** hugged the pipa, shrunk into a ball, lowered his head and cried, and his shoulder blades twitched and moved, which was very pitiful.
A ** in a pink gauze skirt smiled and played a round: Master Wang, my sister is young, she has always been a performer and not a person, you dissipate your anger, I will find you another lovely girl.
The man refused to forgive: No, don't sell your art? I don't believe it, if she were a white-faced scholar, would she be like this? It's clearly underestimating Lao Tzu! Lao Tzu doesn't drink any wine today, you come with me now, Lao Tzu wants to see, what is your body made of, why can't you touch it?
One of the people at the same table also shouted in a weird way: Yes, big brother, take her naked, see what is strange, and then enjoy it.
The woman trembled, shook her head incessantly, got up and ran, but was grabbed by the surnamed Wang: If you want to run, if you don't sleep with Lao Tzu, you want to leave, but there is no door, and she said, how much do you want to sell?
Fan Zuliang couldn't help it anymore, and pointed at the rough man: Stop, this guest officer, you are a big man, why are you so aggressive, you can't get along with a weak woman!
Then, the surname Wang saw that it was a person from the government, and his tone softened: Official, you don't know, this little prostitute came to pay for wine and sang a song, took my money, and had a crying face, this is not good, that is not allowed, I can't be angry, I pulled her to say and said.
Fan Zuliang said: It's okay to say it, it's here, it's reasonable to talk in front of everyone.
The surname Wang also muttered, I give money, she plays with me, isn't this what these people do? What kind of chastity is still pretended!
Fan Zuliang said: Didn't people say that selling art is not selling oneself. You give money, let her pay you for drinking, singing songs, did she do it?
Do it, do it.
So what else do you want her to do?
I'm happy today, touch and kiss, everyone else can do it, why can't she?
Hey, bro, can you be a little ashamed? also touched and kissed, and said that he was not ashamed, that was selling himself, and he had to be willing to do it. You are in business, and if you make a sale, you should also be willing to buy and one willing to sell. The affairs of men and women have always been concerned about your affection and willingness, and if it is forced, it is a violation of the law, and the government will investigate it.
At this time, the shopkeeper came over and whispered a few words to the surnamed Wang, and the surnamed Wang said to the woman: Look at the face of the official today, and I don't care about you.
Only then did Fan Zuliang see clearly that this woman was the one he felt familiar with just now, by the way, he saw it in Lin'an more than two years ago, called Huang Yingying.
Huang Yingying looked at her gratefully, and stopped talking, Fan Zuliang took care of the shopkeeper and asked Miss Huang to rest in the store.
After seeing off the guest, the owner took him to a single room on the second floor. Huang Yingying saw that the shopkeeper was gone, and hurriedly knelt in front of Fan Zuliang, and was about to kowtow: the little woman thanked Fan Ye for saving her life.
Fan Zuliang pulled her up, with a gesture, the girl doesn't have to be like this.
The two of them were speechless for a while, and after a while, Fan Zuliang asked, "Wasn't it in Lin'an, how did you come to Yuezhou?"
Hearing this, Huang Yingying's tears flowed down, "Master Fan, the little woman's life is so bitter."
Then let's hear about it and see if I can help you.
In the west of Xiangshan County, Mingzhou, there is a village called Fangtang Village, with a population of less than 1,000 people, fertile land, and harmonious villagers.
There is a family by the river in the south of the village, the owner is called Huang Yongfang, who is a talented man, and there is a wife Wang and a son and two daughters. The son is the eldest named Huang Jianlin, the eldest daughter is Huang Yingying, and the youngest daughter is called Lili, who is only five or six years old. Relying on the hard work of his ancestors, there are more than ten acres of land, and his life is quite stable.
This Huang Xiucai, like many scholars, hopes to be Tian Shelang, ascends to Tianzitang at dusk, and has studied the scriptures for many years, but unfortunately, he has failed many times, so he has to live a life of half-cultivation and half-reading.
Later, a rich man surnamed He came and took a fancy to this place and wanted to spend money to buy all the fields here. Many people in the village were forced by his coercion to sell their land. Huang Xiucai was reluctant to sell his land, and because he could speak well, many neighbors joined him in resisting.
But this thief surnamed He is bad, and he fences the unsold fields with mounds of earth, so that they cannot go into their own fields to work. The paddy fields are dry and cannot be irrigated, and the water cannot be drained when they are waterlogged.
