Chapter 756: Returning to the hometown to worship the ancestors

In order to prevent the great changes after eight years, and leave a way out and a backhand for themselves, Lotte has also spent a lot of effort to operate Liangzhejiang, because of the huge wealth, the coastal generation of Liangzhejiang Road has also become the world of Lotte.

Then Lotte asked: "The prefect of Hangzhou and the prefect of Qiantang didn't look for you, so what trouble are you waiting for?" ”

Li Liang replied: "These officials are very ghostly, they know the relationship between the second brother and your king, and they are even more afraid of the power of the second brother, these people turn a blind eye and will not make it difficult, and every year they also accept our bad benefits, and fools will dig their own jobs." ”

It's good that you don't have to be stunned, Lotte secretly said, unlike the original self who didn't play cards according to the routine, and Shengsheng Qiantang and Hangzhou were stirred up by themselves.

Lotte continued to ask, "How is it over there in Higashieishima Root?" ”

"There's a silver mountain over there!" Hearing Lotte ask about Shimane, Li Liang's eyes instantly lit up: "According to the silver smelter invited from China, the domestic silver mines can't match Shimane, and Shimane is an almost inexhaustible cornucopia." ”

"I'm asking you, how's the management over there?" Lotte asked.

Li Liang hurriedly replied: "Second brother rest assured, I, Tong Lan, and Zhang Biao will go to Shimane to supervise in turn for half a year each, and the people around us are also reliable and credible people recruited, we have nearly 1,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Shimagen, these people are not only responsible for escorting the caravan, but also protecting the mines, and there are also thousands of workers and silver smelting craftsmen engaged in mining, and because of our strength, those Shimagen people dare not approach our silver mining place." ”

Li Liang, Tong Lan, and Zhang Biao are all their own in-laws, and they are reliable and trustworthy people.

At this time, in that place of Dongying, there can be thousands of people under the hands of a local warlord who are the top forces, and Lotte is not afraid of any unfavorable actions from those Dongying people.

Speaking of this, Li Liang hesitated: "It's just ......"

Hearing the hesitation of his sister-in-law Li Liang, Lotte raised his eyebrows: "Just what?" ”

Li Liang said: "Shimagen is worry-free, but it is Hangzhou that worries about my brother!" ”

Lotte narrowed his eyes and asked, "Isn't my brother-in-law worried that the Liangzhejiang Road is about to cause chaos, and I am afraid that our business and the industry we have placed will be affected?" ”

"The second brother also knows that Liangzhejiang Road is going to be in turmoil?" Li Liang asked in surprise.

Nodding, Lotte continued: "It's still my sister-in-law who tells me about the situation on Liangzhejiang Road!" ”

"Second brother, you don't know, the current Liangzhejiang Road has already been messed up!" Listening to Lotte's question, Li Liang shook his head and sighed: "I heard before that the roads in Beijing, West and Hebei have been in trouble, and if it goes on like this for a long time, it is not for my brother to be alarmist, but I am afraid that it will be the same as Jingxi and Hebei Zhulu." ”

Knowing the general trend of history, Lotte naturally disagreed: "But after a year and a half, the southeast was even more chaotic before?" ”

Li Liang said: "Your Majesty is building Genyue in Biandu, and if you want to select precious flowers and stones from Liangzhejiang, it is better to collect these flowers and stones, that is, to transport these collected flowers and stones to Biandu, which has caused a lot of turmoil." It's said that it's to transport Huashigang to Bianjing, asking for money, where did it come from? Plundering the food and wages of the land.

The money of the state and county has been taken away, and the officials still have to do what they should do, so they can only take it from the people. For the officials, this is not a big deal. The real problem is that even the boatmen of those boats rely on giving the emperor Hua Shigang, and they don't give them any face, and they are often scolded. How can this be endured?

The officials are still like this, and those small people who help are a little unsatisfactory, even if they are beaten and knocked out, it is also a common thing, and they have the emperor's order, and they dare not complain. Therefore, you can only understand with your eyes. ”

Lotte shook his head and sighed: "I didn't expect Liangzhejiang Road to be like this, even if the parents want to manage it, they can't manage it, I'm afraid that they will still be scolded, and if they can't hold it, they will be turned around." ”

"It's hard to be an official, and it's even harder to be a common person!" Li Liang continued: "Those boatmen who go by sea are naturally bullish, and those who go by sea are miserable, with strong winds and waves, and they die in vain.

The people who participated in it were even more deeply affected. If there are stones, even in the unfathomable rivers and seas, they have to be fished for, whether it is winter or summer, hot to death, frozen to death, countless others. ”

"From this point of view, the people of Jiangnan and the people of the north will be more patient!" Lotte snorted lightly: "If it weren't for Le Mou who disposed of Yang Jian, I'm afraid that there would have been chaos near Gyeonggi now." ”

"The officials and the small people have suffered a lot, and the family of the property can't stay out of it, let alone run away!" Li Liang shook his head, and Jijiao said: "Whoever has beautiful stones and trees, in the past, they were used for self-cultivation. Friends come, praise it, can satisfy vanity. What now? Go find someone and throw it away, as far away as possible.

Otherwise, those ferocious officers and soldiers rushed in and sealed it with yellow mud, saying that it was the emperor's request. You can't touch it from now on! Moreover, don't take it away first, let you help guard it, something is wrong, only you ask. When it was time to take it away, it was again to tear down the wall and cut down the trees, and the people's property was wantonly destroyed, and there was no compensation. The requisitioned husbands sold their fields and women to provide food, clothing, shelter and transportation for these people, and there were more and more people who wanted to rebel on Liangzhejiang Road. ”

"Faith knows that it is evil to give birth to a man, but it is good to give birth to a girl" Lotte shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The old man of the poet saint Du Fu is right, now this situation is really reversed!" ”

Looking at Lotte, Li Liang said with a smile: "For my brother, I saw it, these two Zhejiang people will change just sooner or later, this dynasty has a saying that horses are not allowed to interfere in politics, but when the country survives, it can't take care of so much, second brother, although you are a horse, I am afraid that sooner or later the Son of Heaven will have you to lead the troops to encircle and suppress." ”

Lotte smiled and shook his head: "There are many generals in the northwest who can fight habitually, and they may not be able to get my turn!" ”

Looking at Lotte, Li Liang's face suddenly changed solemnly: "Even the second brother was really sent to quell the chaos, and I hope that the second brother will remember the suffering of the people of Liangzhejiang and Huashigang, and make less killing, because these people are also forced to do it!" ”

After speaking, Li Liang got up and faced himself and bowed.

Seeing this, Lotte hurriedly got up and saluted Li Liang back, and said in shock: "Sister-in-law, don't torture the little brother." ”

I didn't expect that my sister-in-law, who was an errand boy in the yamen, has now become brighter, is it because the water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River are too nurturing.

At noon, when having a reunion dinner at Lotte, a palace eunuch came to deliver a decree, and on May 6, the ceremony of family relations was performed.

According to the Song Dynasty's regular system, before the ceremony of the lineage, the first book of the princess's gift, the book of the princess is also the official name of the princess, and then the gift of the family, the gift of the family is actually awarded to the selected horse to the post of captain, and at the same time give jade belt, clothes, silver saddle to the horse, and a hundred colored silk and satin, which also means that Lotte became the emperor's quasi-son-in-law, and at the same time gave at least 10,000 taels of silver as the cost of marrying the princess.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, even the money for marrying a princess was twice as much as the dowry for the prince to marry the princess.

Before the Yingzong Dynasty, marrying the princess royal had to just live in the mansion, but the financial deficit was too large during the Yingzong Dynasty, and it was too difficult for the imperial court to support it, so this rule had to be abolished.

It's only the second day of May, and the sixth day of May is the first day of May, and the time given is to let Lotte prepare, of course, Yang Jian's house is now busy redecorating, after all, it is going to be used for the wedding. At the same time, Lotte sent Li Liang to Pingyu to re-order the tombstone for Lotte's ancestral tomb and prepare for the posthumous sealing of the others.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Song Dynasty, the two brothers Zhao Kuanyin thought that the royal family had a noble status, so they did not completely implement the marriage of the royal family in accordance with the "six rites", especially the marriage of the princess, and even put aside the "six rites". The day of the big wedding must first be chosen by the palace master in charge of etiquette, and then decided by the emperor, it can be said that the six pre-wedding ceremonies formed from the Zhou to the Tang Dynasty were basically abandoned by the royal family of the Song Dynasty.

After Renzong came to power, he thought that this practice was inappropriate, and ordered the princess to perform five ceremonies before marriage, so as to highlight the grandeur and seriousness of the marriage.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, there would be a strange change after the horse was still in charge, which would raise the status of the horse himself in the family by a generation and become a peer with his biological father. In addition to being promoted at home, the horses must also change their names to match the ranking of their parents. ”

As for the purpose of the Northern Song Dynasty's implementation of the "promotion of the lord of Shang", the "History of the Song Dynasty: Yingzong Benji" recorded the emperor's quotations because "the old system of the country, the sons of scholars and doctors have the daughters of the emperor, and they are all promoted to avoid the respect of their uncles and aunts." "That is, the horses are artificially elevated, so that they are the same generation as their fathers, so as to avoid bowing to their in-laws as subordinates as princesses.

It can be said that this is a very embarrassing thing, the son married the princess and became a brother with his father, the grandfather and grandson became father and son, and the nephew became the same generation as his own brother, and when the dinner party ate, the princess gave birth to a son and also sat at the head of her own brothers, and the uncles and brothers were helpless and unable to find fault, this picture is too black humor......

In addition to being a concubine who can't enter politics and has no future, this concubine is also the reason why many people don't want to become a concubine, until the Yingzong Dynasty, there is a royal history Cheng Jia Huang suggested: "The princess of the dynasty surrendered, all with the ancestor as the father, the father as the brother, and then abolished the princess." The gift of the aunt is often cherished by the minister. I hope that His Majesty will edict the princesses to descend, and those who have uncles and aunts will be ordered to prepare gifts, so that they will be kind and moral, and the customs will not be greater than this! ”

Yingzong deeply agreed with this, and once said that "I think that the abolition of human ethics cannot be the law of the world, and I think about it to be correct," but when he was preparing to "edict there is Si Gezhi", he was seriously ill until he died, and after Shenzong ascended the throne, on the grounds of following Yingzong's last thoughts, he abolished the concubine and ascended, and at the same time ordered the princess to "perform the gift of the aunt, and the concubine Duwei Wang Shiyue did not ascend." The princess saw her aunt and uncle. ”

At this point, the system of "Shang Zhu's ascension", which had been in operation for decades, was abolished. So Lotte doesn't have to go back to the house to sweep the grave and call his father brother and his grandfather ......

The marriage ceremony held in Yuefu on May 6 made Yuefu lively for a while.

……

Yang Jian fell to power, and the Gongtian Institute was removed by the Son of Heaven, and the land occupied by the Gongtian was returned to the people, which was undoubtedly great news for the people of the Great Song Dynasty.

If someone dares to look down on Pingyu people and scold Pingyu people, the people of Pingyu will lift Lotte out and scold him.

Who in the world doesn't know, if there is no Lotte, how can the land occupied by the public land be returned to the hands of the people, every time this happens, those Caizhou people also instantly stand in the position of the people.

With the collapse of the public field, the branch office in Pingyu County also collapsed, and those who were vassals were also put in prison.

On the ninth day of the fifth month, the pai yaya had not dispersed, but saw a flying horse galloping from a distance, and then reined in the horse's head and stopped in front of the county office, only to hear the person shouting: "I am the first official of the Qincha, Lord Qincha and the Marquis of Pingyu are about to arrive in Pingyu, please meet the county of Pingyu quickly!" ”

What the? Governors?

The old man of the county government was stunned, he had been a doorman in Pingyu County for nearly 30 years, when had he heard of the arrival of the Qin mission, don't say that it has been 30 years, that is, it has been pushed to the previous dynasty, and this Pingyu County has also arrived, is this something big wrong?

This old man was stunned and stunned, but soon returned to normal, and also came with the Marquis of Pingyu, who is the Marquis of Pingyu, isn't it the Lezhu Division who has been a scribe in the county government, and can come to Pingyu with the Lezhu Division, this Qincha must be malicious, and then the old Menzi opened his mind, and remembered that Li Liang, who had been a head catcher in this county a few days ago, also came back, and drank wine with a group of old brothers.

In the matter of chasing the ancestor of Lotte, the imperial court did not have an official edict, and Lotte could not carve a new tombstone for his ancestor one day earlier, so as not to be suspected of exceeding the system, and it was not good to be impeached by those officials, so Lotte also kept an eye on it, although the tombstone of the three generations of his ancestors was remade, but the official title of the face was not engraved, and it could only be engraved after the official seal of the imperial court.

On the ninth day of the first month of May, I will take a short rest, and the remaining two days of Lotte will get together with my hometown, after all, it is a return to the hometown, just as the king of Chu said, wealth does not return to the hometown, like a night trip in brocade.

May 12 is the day when Roca is officially ordained.

After the news came out, countless people came to watch the excitement, and most of the people in Pingyu County came, and the vicinity of Lotte's house was crowded with people, crowds of people, and crowds of spectators.

Pingyu Zhixian couldn't help but sigh, remembering that two years ago when he had just served in Pingyu for three months, Lotte and himself were at the same level, both from the existence of the eighth grade, the second two of them saluted at the same time, just two years later, the other party was the high Hou Ye, and he was going to bow to the ground when he saw Lotte again.

Caizhou Zhang Zhizhou and Caizhou officials, Caizhou businessmen and Pingyu wealthy households, whether they have a relationship with Lotte or not, all sent people to watch the ceremony.

I heard that Lotte made a colt, which was regretted by many people, but because of the overthrow of Yang Jian, Lotte's name also spread.

The ceremony was held in Lotte's three old houses. The simplicity of the old house of Lejia, the home has already passed Li Liang's reason, after cleaning it is a main case, which is reserved for placing the edict, and then a low case is placed at the next head, and the incense is placed on the side.

Before and after the sealing ceremony is very simple, in the auspicious time, there are Caiting drums accompanied by the music to send down, that with Lotte to Pingyu as the eunuch of the Qin mission to come to the Lejia in a sedan chair, Lotte went out to greet each other, Sister Leshi greeted in the inner room, and then the Qin sent into the main hall, put the edict in the case, in the chant of the salute official, the musician bowed to the case five times and kowtowed.

Immediately, this eunuch who was a messenger held the edict in his hand and stood on the throne to announce the edict, and after the announcement, the Lejia re-mountain called evenly, so far the edict was completed, and a group of people came to congratulate him.

Although there are a bunch of concubines in the house, but the concubine can only be a concubine, according to the three outlines and five constants, it is not allowed to be the table, and it is not allowed to be the master, so Lotte did not bring it, so this matter in the main house, Lotte handed it over to Sister Le's.

Then the edict began to enter the second stage, to sacrifice to the ancestors.

Lejia is a small family in Pingyu, Lotte has no uncle, and there is no near door, Lejia has no ancestral hall at all, so this ancestor can only go to the cemetery to pay tribute.

Lejia's real old house is not in Pingyu County, it is in the countryside of Litun Town, so Lotte wants to go to the ancestral tomb to worship, so Lotte marched to Litun Town with a book in his hand, and the people who watched were addicted to it all the way.

After the sacrifice to the ancestors, it is followed by changing the tombstone and building the archway.

Le Daren is not bad for silver, follow Lotte to dry, Li Liang's waist bag is also bulging, knowing that Lotte came to his hometown and rushed back to Biandu, more people to pay more, the tombstone, the archway has been prepared almost, on the second day of the edict will be erected.

The relocation of the tombstone and the erection of the torii are another grand ceremony, and of course Lotte also has the meaning of "burning the joy paper".

Burning the wedding paper is to go to the grave before getting married, tell the ancestors about the happy events that will happen in the family, and ask for the blessing of the ancestors

The official title of the general of the second rank of the auxiliary state is engraved in front of the names of the great-grandfather, grandfather, and father, and the highest level of the military attache of the second grade, which is theoretically at the same level as the captain, which is the official position of the third generation of Zhao Ji's ancestor Letianzu, of course, it is a false position.

All the onlookers looked at the official position of the tombstone, and they were all embarrassed, such an official position is not to say that in Pingyu, there is no one in the entire Caizhou who can compare with Lejia.

Lotte is now the existence of the third rank official, Le Jiazu can naturally afford the position of the second rank military attachΓ©, of course, this seal is also particular, most of the princesses of the Northern Song Dynasty are married to military general families, and few ministers are married to the royal family, so the title of the emperor Matsu is also the title of a military general.

Just looking at the three newly made tombstones of his ancestors, Lotte had an indescribable weirdness in his heart, because if this matter was said, he was afraid that his own sister would have to count himself again, and he would even have to use a stick to teach him a lesson.
