Chapter 634
The reason why he abandoned the old house in Songmingshan and sat in the back street of the county was to release a signal to all kinds of people in the county government on the one hand, and to avoid the chatter of the second elder in the family on the other hand. To say that he has been married for almost three years, but there is no man and half woman, even if Wang Daoyun and Wu are extremely satisfied with this marriage, he is back this time, they will inevitably change their ways to remind them to hurry up, Wang Fulin can even find a lot of strange and strange dishes when eating every day. Even if it hadn't developed to the point where he and Xiaobei had to make up for something, he still decided to escape with his daughter-in-law first.
Therefore, the county seat that is thirty miles away from the old house of Songming Mountain is a good choice, with a single family, the ears and roots are much cleaner, and you can pay attention to every move in the county government. And whoever wants to come to him to report the news is just a matter of the way. So, Xue Chao ordered someone to go to Zhuchuan Wang's to deliver the letter, and he got the news almost immediately.
"The enemy of the enemy is the ally, this Xue Xianzun thinks very beautifully."
Wang Fulin rubbed his chin, and then decided to ignore the Zhuchuan Wang family. After all, he caused Wang Shangning's nephew Wang Youmin, who was originally quite potential, to be completely abolished, and Wang Shangning saw that Wang Daokun rose to prominence after he recovered, and he was jealous, and he has not repaired the relationship with the Wang family of Songmingshan so far. What's more, Wang Shangning, as a village eunuch, wants to regain the right to speak through this incident, and if he gets in the way again, the two families will really die.
"Someone. Call Jinbao and Qiufeng...... Well. If Ye Mingzhao is also together. Let him come along. ”
As Wang Fulin expected, these three people who are not much different in age have been studying together since childhood, worshipping the same husband, and they are naturally inseparable, and they will come together in a moment. Seeing them, Wang Fulin smiled and nodded, and then said, "I went back to my hometown to recuperate, and I walked around when I first came back. At this time, I was ready to recuperate at home, just waiting to go back to Xuancheng to attend Shihong's wedding. Therefore, there are some things that the younger generation does to do, and there are some things that I have to tell you to do. I have a few letters here, and you will send them to the patriarchs of the east and west branches of Xu Village, the old patriarch of the Fang clan in Yanzhen, and the branches of the Ke family, the Bao family, the Huang family, the Cheng family, and so on. Also, the Hu clan of Jixi Longchuan Village, you also have to go there. This is the address of all the recipients, go and see for yourselves. ”
I saw Wang Fulin pointing to the stack of letters on the desk. Rao is Ye Xiaopang's favorite person to join in the fun, and he can't help but widen his eyes. And Jinbao and Qiu Feng thought of another question. With so many letters, even if each letter is about 100 words, how much effort does it take to consider the words and content of so many letters? When the long list of recipients' addresses was in hand, the three of them looked at each other, and they gasped. This is almost including the entire She County's famous families, running down in a circle, conservatively estimated to take at least seven or eight days, bad luck for more than ten days!
"Brother-in-law......"
"Calling you is just to talk to you, so that you don't have to go back and complain that Jinbao and Qiu Feng left you. You can go if you want, don't go if you don't want to go, I don't force my brother-in-law. Wang Fulin said with a smile, "If you don't go, study hard at home, don't forget that when you were in Beijing, your father-in-law and mother-in-law entrusted me to take good care of you." ”
What kind of care, it is clear whether the discipline is good or not! Ye Xiaopang secretly slandered himself, but the lesser of two evils, of course he was not happy to study at home alone, so he immediately changed his words and said: "I am the elder of Jinbao and Qiu Feng, how can I rest assured that the two of them will go, of course they will go together!" Isn't it just running errands, I'm good at it! ”
Jin Bao and Qiu Feng were already accustomed to seeing the scene of Ye Xiaopang being smoothed by Wang Fulin after three times and five divisions of two, and they were not surprised at all when they saw Ye Xiaopang immediately soften. It's just that when Wang Fulin told them to be more humble and less show-off when they meet people, and if others ask about Xia Shui silk, they might as well push it on Wang Shangning, the old lady of the Zhuchuan Wang family, they all didn't understand it very well. Especially Ye Xiaopang remembered the big loss that his father had almost suffered, and said angrily: "Brother-in-law, that meat bun ...... No, Shuai Jiamo was saved by you, why did you give the credit to Wang Shangning this time? ”
"Credit? If it was a credit, your father would have failed to solve this matter in Shexian Ling and Huining Dao? It's not a credit, it's a trouble, you all take it to heart. Wang Fulin didn't expect the three young guys to understand the thorny difficulties at once, but only gave instructions over and over again, so that they could make their own decisions about the order of sending the letters, the route and so on.
And as soon as they left, Wang Fulin left the study on the second floor of the main hall, went downstairs through the small hall and entered the inner courtyard, he heard the voice of Xiaobei and Bizhuyan's mother talking in the main room, but they were discussing the New Year. Of course, he can understand their joy, after all, the first two years of the Chinese New Year were in Jingshi and Jizhen, and this time he finally found an excuse to return to his hometown, and the atmosphere was completely different from being outside. So, he listened to the door for a long time, and when he saw that they were discussing New Year's goods to buying new clothes and then to various New Year's gifts, he had to cough vigorously twice, and then went into the house.
"What, you're done with your orders?" Xiaobei stood up with a smile, glanced at Yan's mother and Bizhu, and saw that they retreated very tacitly, so she asked, "Is it my turn next?" ”
"According to their itinerary, Xu Cun should be left behind. You first go to Xu Village to meet your sister, and tell her that this time the matter of the Junping Xia tax silk, if it is dragged to the imperial court to officially issue a decree, I am afraid that it will cause a big change, because I asked people to inquire about it, the rumors in Wuyuan and other five counties are very wrong, especially in Wuyuan and Xiuning counties. Therefore, I am afraid that I will have to trouble her to come forward, and together with you, you former close friends who were beautiful back then and are now married will get together a few more times and spread some rumors. Let's just say that I said it, and this matter should not be rushed, but should be taken slowly. ”
When Xiaobei heard the end, he couldn't help but snort softly: "It's already a family, what is your sister, if you want to talk about our sister!" Seeing Wang Fulin's stunned face. Then he patted his head helplessly. Without saying a word, she agreed, "Okay." I know, I'm going to get ready, and I'll leave tomorrow. Anyway, I'm not here, you don't play any moths, and when you encounter any danger, no one will help you secretly throw a flying knife! ”
"This is the county seat, not Liaodong or Jizhen, as long as there are no Taihu thieves who wandered in the past. If you can't become a tiger's den in Longtan, you can go with peace of mind! ”
Seeing that Wang Fulin said it very refreshingly, Xiaobei couldn't help but smile: "Even if there is no other danger, in case my father and mother come from Songming Mountain and see that I am not there, then you will have to carry it alone, you can rest assured, I will stay with my sister for a few more days, and I will meet those old friends of the Yixiang Society for a while." ”
Seeing that the little girl slipped into the west room after saying this, she obviously went to pack her luggage. Wang Fulin was immediately angry. What kind of clothing club, isn't it just a gossip boudoir show group? If you hadn't thought about it, these former little girls should also be people who like to gossip about all kinds of news after becoming mothers. Why did he ask Xiaobei to contact Ye Mingyue? Speaking of which, the last time he went to Xu's house on Doosan Street, he didn't see Xu Wei, thinking that the little girl who used to be innocent and smiling should have been a wife, maybe even a mother......
Wang Fulin suddenly came back from Beijing and claimed to take leave to recuperate, for those who had enemies with him in Huizhou Mansion, he naturally wanted his career to be ruined, however, when Cheng Kui and others went around to publicize his brilliant achievements in the capital, coupled with Yu Maoxue, one of the parties to the heated debate in Wenhuadian, who resigned from his post and returned to Wuyuan for the people, some arguments naturally broke themselves. Because of this, many people only gloated for a while, and then fell into a mood of great disappointment again. Among them, Wang Shangning of the Zhuchuan Wang clan is the most.
You must know that Wang Daokun has risen and fallen, after the governor of Yunyang and the governor of Huguang, and now he is already a squire in the military department, and Wang Fulin has also been admitted to the Jinshi, but Zhuchuan Wang seems to have fallen into a period of recession, and he has not even had a show in the past two years, and this year Zhang Juzheng's big stick of rectifying the study and politics has been beaten again, and it is even more difficult to take the test for Xiucai! However, Wang Fulin's adopted son Wang Jinbao actually won the first place in the Dao test of Huining Dao last year, and those people of the Zhuchuan Wang clan who once laughed at him for failing in the last Dao test are ashamed!
Since he can't fight on the official career, he can only retreat to the second, hoping to take advantage of the fact that the three brothers of Wang Daokun's family are not there, and the father of the three brothers, Wang Liangbin, is old, and Wang Fulin will send Shuai Jiamo back, so he will promote the success of the Junping Xia tax silk silk that is beneficial to the people of She County, so that the reputation of the Zhuchuan Wang family can be re-established, which can also be regarded as a small success. However, Wang Fulin did not play his cards according to common sense, and suddenly returned to his hometown to recuperate, but it completely disrupted his plan.
At this moment, an unexpected guest has ushered in the old mansion of the Wang family in Zhuchuan, the new Master Liu beside Xue County. In the face of the three brothers Wang Shangning, Master Liu said his intention very straightforwardly, that is, on behalf of Xue Xianzun, he threw an olive branch and invited the Wang family of Zhuchuan to change the Xia tax silk that was originally sent to She County to six counties equally. For such a good thing that fell from the sky, the third old lady Wang Shangxuan was naturally overjoyed, but Wang Shangning still remained a little cautious.
"Xue Xianzun really intends to facilitate this?"
"Naturally it's true, Xue Xianzun said that he is not like a certain county zun who was proud when he entered the famous eunuch temple before, he only knows how to make a name for himself and give some small favors to the villagers, he is really ready to promote this matter. Mrs. Wang thought that she was the most respected among all the township sages in Shexian County, but she was bullied by the Wang family of Songming Mountain, and even lost a seed of reading, didn't she want to rise up and surpass? At least if this thing is done, the Zhuchuan Wang clan will have immeasurable merit in the eyes of the villagers of She County, far better than those who can only give small favors! ”
Wang Shangxuan only felt that these words were very ear-catching, but when Wang Shangning heard the words bullying, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hesitate, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable. When did the Zhuchuan Wang clan turn out to be regarded as a weakling? However, Wang Fulin relied on Ye Junyao, who was the county commander at the time, to lay the foundation for covering the sky in She County step by step, and now Xue Chao, the new Shexian commander, has found the Zhuchuan Wang clan to seek alliances, how can he push people out. After much deliberation, he finally made up his mind.
"Okay, you reply to Xue Xianzun, if he is really willing to promote the matter of Junping Xia's tax silk, it is the responsibility of the Zhuchuan Wang family."
Wang Shangxuan's face was suddenly full of joy, and he immediately echoed: "In the entire She County, there are many people of insight who are in favor of this matter, and please rest assured that the county will be able to have a corresponding momentum soon." ”
Seeing that this trip was fruitful, Master Liu naturally smiled and narrowed his eyes, sat down again to finalize the details of the cooperation between the two sides, and then he said goodbye and hurried back to the county seat. However, he hurriedly entered the official office behind the county government, and came to Xue Chao's study with joy to report this great news, who knew that what was waiting for him was actually a blow to the head.
Wang Fulin actually joined the vast majority of famous families in She County, and unanimously said that the matter of Pingxia tax silk should be effectively implemented, but it should be slow rather than urgent, and the old files in the government and county should be checked out first, and the evidence should be sufficient and conclusive before making a statement. He also asked the charity shop to let out a rumor that a benchmark price would be released one month before the summer tax and autumn grain collection every year, and if the grain price was higher than the benchmark price at that time, it would be collected according to the benchmark price, and if it was lower than the benchmark price, it would be collected according to the benchmark price. ”
For this kind of fresh term, Xue Chao simply felt ridiculous, and in the end, he couldn't help but slam the handrail, and said angrily, "He also asked people to go around to tell people how to settle accounts, saying that it was how much money was evenly distributed to each person in each household, and the increase in grain prices would actually give each household how much more silver to pay taxes, and this would be more, so let the villagers not be anxious first, there will always be a result within ten years." ”
Even if the imperial court implements the long-term system now, a county magistrate will have to serve for six years, but Ye Junyao's example is in the past, why doesn't he want to be promoted to three levels in a row? Ten years, ten years later, will he still be nesting in Xiaoxiao County?
At this moment, Master Liu also felt as if a bucket of cold water was splashed on his head, and after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he said in a low voice: "Dong Weng, is it difficult to tell the Wang family of Zhuchuan to let it go first?" ”
"What to put it? Even if he is the head of the land, this county is the lord of a county appointed by the imperial court, and there is no need to look at his face! Those wealthy clans and villagers are now suspicious and wait-and-see, but as long as this matter is completed, they are grateful to Dade for the county that overrides public opinion! ”
Xue Chao gritted his teeth and burst out these two sentences, seeing that Master Liu was relieved and praised continuously, he whispered, "You don't have to worry about the affairs in the county government these days, go to Zhuchuan again immediately, be sure to let them know the news, and at the same time show a lot of energy, at least you have to win over a few families, you can't have no momentum at all." After the Zhuchuan Wang clan connects people, you go to Xuancheng and wait, Shuai Jiamo should come back. Fortunately, the county has been prepared for a long time, and a dark line has been prepared by his side, and there is no one with Wang Fulin by Shuai Jiamo's side, but it is just right! ”
When the wind and clouds are surging in Shexian County, when the vertical and horizontal are combined, in the Wuyuan County School Palace, several students came out of it, and also gathered in a place that is also a broker tooth business, and at the same time, there are more than a dozen men in different dresses, some are ruffians in the market, and some are country bullies who eat with their fists...... And one of them wearing a Confucian shirt is Cheng Wenlie, who led a lot of things back then and fled after the defeat. At this moment, he just got the news that Wang Fulin had united many people in She County, and he was actually working against the current She County Order, and he only felt extremely ridiculous in his heart.
At the beginning, Wang Fulin relied on the banner of Junping Xia tax silk to attract a lot of people, but now he has attracted a large group of people on the grounds of moderation, and said that he is two-faced, he thinks Wang Fulin is the biggest two-faced!
But because of this, he felt that a big stone had been laid down in his heart. Because of repeated setbacks, he has long suffered from fear of austria, and this time it is just right not to meet Wang Fulin. Therefore, he slapped it on the table lightly or heavily, and when all the eyes of others were focused on him, he said with a twinkle in his eyes: "Since there is action on the other side of Shexian, we Wuyuan can't lose to them." It's just that they are weak when they divide and we are strong when we are together. I propose that as long as the public opinion on the government side is not favorable to our five counties, we will immediately launch it! As long as Xiuning, Qimen, Jixi, and Yixian are united, there is no momentum! ”
