Chapter 43: The Temple Hangs the Clothes of Heaven and Heavens (13)
Zhang Zai did not buy property in front of him, and most of his property was sent to the bottomless pit of Hengqu Academy. After his death, the widow and orphan of the Zhang family could not even afford to do his funeral. is still a few students, plus Feng Congyi, who is far away in Hangang, Guangxi, to take care of the aftermath together, and buried them by the grave of Zhang Zai's parents outside Hengqu Town.
After that, Han Gang assigned Feng Congyi to help the Zhang family buy 500 acres of land to ensure the livelihood of his mother and brother. Under his leadership, other students also scraped together 300 acres piecemeal. It's just that these 800 acres of land are distributed in eight counties including Yixian, the four state capitals of Fengxiang Mansion, Jingzhao Mansion, Pizhou, and Weizhou, and it is not only troublesome to put away the accounts, but it is painful.
It's not because there are too many people who have made up the land that the land is fragmented - the 500 mu given by Han Gang is also scattered in three counties - but because in any inland prefecture and county in the Great Song Dynasty, the chance of buying a large field with normal output is almost zero, and it is impossible to do it at all.
The landlord didn't want to connect his land - the reason why Han Gang was framed back then was that Li Lizi wanted the Han family's three acres of vegetable fields to connect the family's river beach fields - but few of his wishes came true, unless there were several generations of management, otherwise the family's fields were all one in the east and one in the west, and it was a large area to have more than a dozen acres of land.
And in this era, land transactions are frequent, there is a saying that 'millennium land is easy to 800 masters', many lands will change a master in a few years, not only in the south where the commercial atmosphere is strong, that is, the northern landlords who regard land as their life, will also buy and sell land for various reasons, and there are many cases of land being sold in parts, 100 acres of land, three acres of land are sold as gifts today, and five acres are sold tomorrow to repay debts, and then the complete field will be completed in a few years. If you want to put the scattered land back together, how can the owner of the target field not take advantage of the opportunity to raise the price?
However, in order to solve the problem of difficulty in collecting debts on 800 acres of land, it was still Feng Congyi and Zhang Zai's students who took action, relying on their connections in the large households in Guanxi, to help sell land and buy land for exchange, and the most difficult field to get was still 800 acres, but it was concentrated in the four counties of Yixian, Xuan, Fufeng, and Qishan in Fengxiang Mansion, which were in the same house, and it was much more convenient to collect debts.
Hearing that this year's rent tax was almost paid, Su Yu nodded, looking very satisfied, "Mr. Zihou is a kind person, and now his mother and brother are also average, if you don't help take care of it, sooner or later you will be bullied by your subordinates." ”
"Brother Ji Ming is right, the younger brother will definitely take care of it, and there is no shortage of chaos during this time." After patting his chest and assuring him, he asked tentatively, "I don't know what happy events have happened recently?" Why did Brother Ji Ming suddenly become full of spring breeze. ”
Su Yu didn't hide it: "It's Yukun's side." ”
"Xianghan Caoyun succeeded?" Murong Fu exclaimed in surprise, "Six hundred thousand Shigang grain arrived so quickly?!" ”
"Then isn't it time for Hebei Rail to be put on the table?" You Shixiong has a strategic vision, and he can rank among the top three disciples of Zhangmen. The impact of a carriage-speed transportation line on the national strategy is self-evident, and he sees the doorway no later than anyone else.
"No, what you're talking about hasn't been on the stage yet," Su Yu shook his head and pulled out a book from his sleeve. "You read the contents of this volume first," he said to You Shixiong.
You Shixiong was puzzled, and when he took it over, his face changed. Looking up and asking, "Is this true?!" ”
Murong Wu poked his head curiously, and saw the report in You Shixiong's hand that made Su Xin mysterious and secretive, and You Shixiong himself almost jumped up.
It turned out to be a pox.
Murong Wu didn't doubt Han Gang's ability, but the timing of Han Gang's release of the pox method was very problematic, and anyone who had a slight look in the officialdom could see that something was wrong. It's been hidden for ten years, and it doesn't matter if it's hidden for another two years, wait until the credit for the track is in hand first. chose to release it now, of course, there is only one reason, "Why bother, it doesn't matter if you wait another two years." ”
But Su Xun didn't see it that way, "What Yukun has learned is based on reality, and Yukun has studied the way of things and figured out the truth." And who can say that it is wrong? ”
The world is realistic, Han Gang has established an unshakable authority step by step through plate armor, spaceships, orbits, and today's cowpox, and his academic views are naturally like the Chrysostom of the Son of Heaven, and he has an overwhelming advantage over other schools.
It can be said that after Cheng Yi entered the Guanzhong for many days, Han Gang only used four words to beat him back to his original form.
Su Yu was extremely excited, but You Shixiong and Murong Wu looked at each other. With the political wisdom of the two, where can you not see what kind of price Han Gang has paid for this?
Looking at Su Xun's appearance, he only cared about whether he could maintain the Qi Sect Dao system, but You Shixiong and Murong Wu had to worry about Han Gang's future future - this also concerned all Zhangmen disciples.
"The first five princes died one after another, and the same is true for the three princesses, most of whom died of acne." You Shixiong's voice was extremely dry, "Yukun doesn't want to hurt the saints, so he has hidden it so far. But the Son of Heaven still doesn't know what to think, in case a traitor enters ...... slander. ”
"Since Yukun has done the matter, he must have thought about the consequences, and you and I don't have to worry about him." Su Yu asked You Shixiong and Murong Wu not to worry too much.
But how can You Shixiong and Murong Wu not worry, when Han Gang's recital is sent to the plan, it is almost inevitable to anger the Son of Heaven, and it is inevitable that suspicion will arise. Han Gang can't complain yet, it's such a game he plays.
Su Xin's mood is the most peaceful now: "With Yukun's pox immunization method, everyone's hearts can settle down." ”
Although Su Yu didn't say it explicitly, when he saw the "Gui Window Cong Talk" sent by Han Gang the day before yesterday, he was already touched by Han Gang's choice, and he was excited for a long time. He has been in the officialdom for many years, and the price paid by Han Gang Su Yu doesn't know that such a mindful and knowledgeable figure is indeed rare in the world.
Although Han Gang is in Jingxi, his heart is still in qi. In order to maintain the foundation of Qi science, it is better to give up a bright future, but also to adhere to the belief in the heart, this is the real Confucian. Han Gang can do it, why can't he do it?
"Brother Fool is ready to resign." Su Xun said sincerely, he had just resigned from the dispatch and did not go to Houque, but after receiving Han Gang's letter, he was ready to leave the officialdom, "Although Su Xun's learning is limited, not as good as Mr. Zihou's eleventh, but with Zhang Xuemen, he can't watch Yukun work hard to support the overall situation." ”
You Shixiong and Murong Wu glanced at each other, and they both saw helplessness and sighs in each other's eyes. Well-known seniors like Su Yu have brought water to Han Gang.
And Han Gang, why is he so dead-eyed? Han Gang usually looks at a shrewd and powerful person, and he almost turned his face with his father-in-law because of different schools, it is possible that he did it for the Son of Heaven, but this time his performance is really insulting the prestige he has established in the past, does he think that the credit for making the heir of the Son of Heaven no longer suffer from acne can make him continue to sing and forge ahead?
But the two of them were helpless, and Han Gang's choice made them unable to blame, so they could only simply let Han Gang continue to defend it.

The launch of Xianghan Caoyun has made Xiangzhou not only a material distribution center, but also a distribution center for information and intelligence.
Yangzhou and Sizhou, the two transshipment hubs on the Bianshui, will set up branches in at least one of the big businesses in Beijing. Today, Xiangzhou also has a tendency to become another central city where commercial banks gather.
Just when Huang Yong had not yet visited Hangang in Fulong Mountain, the legend of pox immunity had already spread in all directions with Xiangzhou as the center. This news spread throughout the major state capitals along the route of communication between the north and south, north to Gyeonggi and south to Jinghu, and finally arrived at the border of Jingshi with the continuous arrival of grain in the capital.
In order to implement the practical method, Lu Huiqing released Lu Shengqing a few days ago as a reminder of the official affairs of the counties and towns in Kaifeng Prefecture, commonly known as the Prefecture Boundary Reminder. Lu Huiqing plans to make a model in the capital, so that everyone in the court can take a look at the results of the practical method.
Lu Shengqing wants to share his brother's worries, and now he is busy. Because of the mention of the yamen in the prefecture, because of Han Gang, he moved to Baima County in the seventh year of Xining. Lu Shengqing had to go to Baima County, and he could only return to the capital after a while.
However, more often, Lu Shengqing still ran back and forth among the eighteen counties under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture. The more people we have come into contact with, the more roads we have taken, and the same amount of news we have heard. The news that the pox method appeared in western Beijing soon reached Lu Shengqing's ears.
At first, it was just a sentence or two, saying that there was such a thing. Where would Lu Shengqing take it seriously, just tell his staff as a joke. But when the details were completed step by step over time, his heart suddenly burned. hurriedly left everything in his hand and found an excuse to run back to the capital.
Back at home, Lu Huiqing has not returned. He waited restlessly in the study for most of the day, and finally waited for Lu Huiqing to come back. Lu Shengqing hurriedly greeted him, and said hurriedly: "Big brother, have you heard?" It is rumored outside that Han Gang has invented the technique of planting acne, which can prevent acne! ”
Lu Huiqing didn't seem to hear Lu Shengqing's words, sat down, raised his eyes, and sighed slowly: "Jianguo Gong died of illness last night. ”
"Huh?" Lu Shengqing didn't react for a while.
"Han Gang's recital arrived this morning." Lu Huiqing's tone was calm, as if chatting about the weather during greetings: "And the seventh son of the emperor, Jianguogong, died last night......" paused for a moment, revealing a hint of a smile, "It's a pox." ”
