After Du Zigong went to Gu Yu to meet Huan Wen, he returned to Qiantang and built a Jinsu Dojo in the Heavenly Master Daoist Hall in Du *** in the north of the city. Playing the heavenly court, sacrificing to the emperor of the water official, for the people to eliminate disasters and relieve misfortune, according to legend, the emperor of the water official is the beginning of the Tianzun exhalation, its predecessor is Dayu, every October 15, he will come to the world to abstain from sin, for the people to eliminate disasters one by one

Regardless of the high-ranking officials and nobles, they are not exempt from illness and suffering, not to mention the poor people, they dare not hope for blessings, and it is the most realistic to have no disease and no disaster, so the annual Xiayuan Water Saving Officer Celebration is the most grand, and the believers of the nearby counties gather in Qian Tang Yiyi

When Chen Cao and his entourage arrived at Du's Manor, they saw Feng Mengxiong accompanying Wang Shao, Wang Ningzhi, Jiangzhou, and Du Zigong to talk, Wang Shao and Wang Ningzhi's uncle and nephew arrived last night and rested at the county post, so they went to the Du's Taoist Hall before Chen Caozhi.

Chen Caozhi and Xie Daoyun saluted Wang Shao and Wang Ningzhi, and Wang Shao said to Chen Caozhi: "I already know about the Chu family's collusion with the bandits, and I will talk about it after the celebration of the Emperor of the Water Officials, such scum must be severely punished." Because of his attention to Xie Daoyun, he asked: "Is this Shangyu Zhu Yingtai, who threatened not to marry Xie Daoyun?" ”

Wang Shao once tried his best to build momentum for Chen Caozhi to marry a 6 girl, Jiankang Shishu relished a large part of the reason for this is that Wang Shao is behind the push, Wang Shao is angry because his father Wang Dao played a personal grudge with 6 back then, and is happy to see Chen Caozhi, who was born in an inferior scholar family, marry a girl from the 6 clan of Sanwu Gate, of course Wang Shao is not out of any good intentions, he just wants to see the 6 clan humiliated, and for this Zhu Yingtai wants to marry Xie Daoyun, Wang Shao is scoffing, because Chen Jun Xie is the same as his Langya Wang clan is a cross-river Shi clan, but Zhu Yingtai is a southerner, If Xie Daoyun is married by a child of a southern inferior scholar clan, it is he who is ashamed of Wang Xie of Wuyi Lane, of course, Wang Shao will never believe that this Zhu Yingtai can marry Xie Daoyun, and Xie Daoyun did not have any confession to Zhu Yingtai like Chen Caozhi, a girl from the 6th clan, Jiankang has no such rumors, Zhu Yingtai is delusional

Xie Daoyun listened to Wang Shao's sarcastic words, and was displeased, so he responded: "Exactly." ”

Wang Shao sneered and said unceremoniously: "Chen Caozhi's talent is more important than the world, and he has something to do with the daughters of the 6 clans."

It's a good story, and you, Shangyu Zhu Yingtai, want to marry Xie's daughter, which is enough to be a laugh and a bird's clothes

Lane Xie Mansion - Qing Tan Yaji, you are better than the Xie family's daughter? ”

Chen Caozhi was worried that Xie Daoyun would be embarrassed when he saw Wang Ningzhi, but he didn't expect that it was Wang Shao who made it difficult for Xie Daoyun, so he hurriedly whispered: "Brother Yingtai, don't talk about this kind of foolish account here, if you want to enter the office, why make a senseless enemy?" ”

Xie Daoyun smiled, nodded, and said: "Wang Neishi, who you want to marry next, this is a private matter in the next, don't pay attention to it." "I was quite annoyed in my heart, Chen Caozhi's marriage to 6 Wei Rui is a good story, and pregnancy I ,—-—-

Xie Daoyun thought about it and felt funny, this trouble was really inexplicable.

Wang Ningzhi has a good temper. Zhu Yingtai, who was determined to marry Xie Daoyun, was not disgusted and smiled

Already.

At the beginning of the celebration of the emperor of the water official, Du Zigong led his disciples to open the altar, invite the saints, and worship the table.

Du Zigong invited Wang Shao, Wang Ningzhi, Feng Mengxiong, Chen Xian, Chen Caozhi, and Xie Daoyun to talk about the Wuchao bandits, Wuchao Mountain is about seventy or eighty miles away, and the skirt hermits sent to lure the enemy will rush back about tomorrow. Chen Caozhi begged Wang Shao to stay in Qiantang for two days and return to Yangzhou after rounding up the bandits, and Wang Shao agreed.

In the afternoon of the same day, Chen Caozhi accompanied Wang Shao and Wang Ningzhi to visit Qian Tang Mingsu and the original loose cavalry to serve Quanli, when Chen Caozhi came to borrow private soldiers yesterday, Quanli heard that Chu colluded with the bandits, and was very angry, this is a great harm to Qian Tang. If it is not removed early, the rich families of the Qian Tang clan will not be at peace, so they will help Chen Caozhi with all their might.

Full Gift for Dinner Parties. Because it is a believer in the Heavenly Master, the next Yuan Festival has to fast, so they are all vegetarian dishes, but they are also very exquisite, the banquet has just dispersed, Qiantang County planted and arrested Peng in a hurry to report, sixty-eight noon tide thieves did not get away with one, and they were all captured by Ran Wei in Chu's manor

Everyone was pleasantly surprised, and they were busy asking? The thief caught Peng Yu and said: "Su Kuan, the thief of the noon tide, got the secret report of the Chu family's hidden household who went to lure the enemy, so he led his men to the thieves to pour out of the nest, pretending to come to Qiantang County to participate in the county

The celestial masters of the celebration of the emperor of the water official were superstitious, because the Chu family hermit repeatedly stated that he had important matters to discuss with Su Kuan through the frugal father and son. Su Kuan led the thieves to Chu's manor, and was captured by Chen Tunchang and Wu County Lieutenant who were ambushed in the manor, killing six bandits, among which the thief Su Kuan was killed by Chen Tun Changge, and seven foot archers in the county were injured.

In addition to the old Quan Li, Chen Xian, and Wang Ningzhi, the rest of Wang Shao, Feng Mengxiong, Chen Caozhi, and Xie Daoyun followed the thieves to the Chu Manor, and the sixty-eight Wuchao thieves were all tied to the tree of the Chu Manor except for the six who were killed, and the Qiantang County Tingpeng had interrogated thirteen of them as Chu family hermits. It was Chu Jian who ordered these people to defect to Wuchao Mountain in order to avoid the land and cut off the registration

Feng Mengxiong ordered people to send these thieves and hidden households to the prison, and in just three days, the Chu family colluded with the bandits, and the matter was completely solved

Qiantang County ordered Feng Mengxiong to conduct a trial, and Chen Caozhi suggested that these bandits be sent to some remote counties to open up wasteland. Wang Shao thought that if all the Dehu and bandits who were found out were settled and sent to the military government, it would only strengthen Huan Wen's strength, which was what Langya Wang did not want to see

After the bandit crisis passed, the Chu family was completely degraded, Chen Caozhi was relieved, and at the same time felt that it was necessary to strengthen the Chen family's private army. Chen's land has passed through Ding's, and Ding's has sixty private soldiers, while Chen's has only forty. It is not easy to defend against a large number of bandits, and there are only sixty horse-foot archers in the huge Qiantang County, who can only supervise the collection of rents and the execution of forced labor, and the clans basically rely on their own strength to protect the safety of their clansmen and property

October 16g morning. Ding Youhui set off to visit 6 Weirui in Huating, and Run'er also wanted to see the beautiful ugly uncle. He went with him, accompanied by Swift and Ah Xiu, as well as eight Chen private soldiers and eight Ding private soldiers.

Chen Caozhi and Ran Sheng sent Ding You to make a trip out of the post pavilion outside the east gate, and Chen Caozhi said: "Sister-in-law,

I will go back to Chen's chicken today, and I will go to Huiji Shanyin tomorrow, and I can't wait for my sister-in-law to come back. ”

Ding Youwei asked: "Xiaolang can always come back a year ago, right?" ”

Chen Caozhi nodded and said, "It should be possible, Shanyin is not far from here, and I will send an envoy back to report if there is something."

Run'er said: "Uncle Ugly." 6 The little lady is not very well written in "Huashan Broken", this time Run'er met her and asked her for advice. ”

Chen Caozhi smiled: "Okay." Run'er wants to greet the 6 little ladies on my behalf. ”

Run'er beckoned with her little hand to let Chen Caozhi get closer, and said in her ear: "Uncle Ugly, is it okay for Run'er to recite "Guan Sui" to Uncle Ugly on your behalf?" With that, Gege smiled and retracted his head back into the carriage.

sent Ding Youxi, Chen Caozhiwen went to the county office to bid farewell to Wang Shao and Feng Mengxiong, and he went to Chen's house

After the dock, he went straight to San'in. I don't come to the county anymore.

Before noon, Chen Xian, Chen Caozhi, Ran Wei, Chen Zongzhi, Xie Daoyun and his party crossed the river from Fenglin Ferry and headed towards Chenjiawu.

Chen Caozhi said: "Fourth uncle." My Qian Tang Chen clan has risen rapidly in the past two years, it is inevitable to touch the interests of others, the Lu family and the Chu family were defeated by my Chen family, and a large part of the land property of the Lu family and the Chu family belongs to my Chen family, and it is certain that I am hated. ”

Chen Xian nodded and said: "In the first half of the year, Jing Nu said that he wanted to form a hundred Chen private soldiers, I was worried that the Chen family would not have S. to support this hundred private soldiers, after all, the taxes and conscription of these private soldiers should all be borne by my Chen family, and the annual expenditure of each was about two million yuan. ”

Chen Caozhi said: "My Chen's original 40 private soldiers, can be expanded to 40, these private soldiers are still selected from the shade households, tenant farmers' children, training during the slack time, still farming on weekdays, give the parents of these private soldiers appropriate tax exemptions, that is to say, Chen's 80 private soldiers, of which 40 are relatively elite cymbals are not engaged in farming, daily drills and patrols, and the other 40 are reserves, if there are thieves to attack, they can immediately join the defense and resistance. ”

Chen Xianxi said, "Okay." That's a lot of savings."

After a trip on the ox cart, Chen Xian said again: ", my uncle still has something to discuss with you, and set up a new order for food and clothing issued by the imperial court." My Qian Tang Chen family can have ninety shade households, is it this time to recruit completely, fill in the family registration, and report to the county? ”

Chen Cao knew that the fourth uncle was the official and occupant of the ancestors of the Tang and Chen clans, and of course, this was reasonable. It's just that in this extraordinary period of the great land break, the people of the Sanwu Shi clan were panicked, but the Qian Tang Chen clan rose from the original 40 shade households to 90 shade households according to the newly reformed system of shade clothing and food, and he Chen Caozhi was also 'living in the left prison of the land break division, and benefited from the land break, which was very easy to be impeached one by one

Chen Caozhi told his fourth uncle Chen Xian about this concern, Chen Xian nodded again and again, he knew that the future of Chen Caozhi's career was the future of the Qian Tang Chen family. Chen Xian said: "Your sixth uncle is bent on including all his in-laws in the Chen family's shadow household to avoid servitude, and I will sternly refuse to go back this time." ”

Chen Caozhi remembered that the last time the fifth brother Chen Chang came to Jiankang, he was worried about some tea and dried fish, and the family of the sixth uncle in the north building was really narrow-minded.
