Chapter 156 She County Celebrity Conference
If it was just a post made by Wang Fulin, a small character in the past, it would be rare to be able to slap one among one or twenty people. But Wang Daokun said to more than one person before leaving, all the foreign affairs of the Wang family in Songming Mountain were handed over to Wang Fulin's nephew Xiaoxiucai to take care of, and others had to figure out the thoughts of the governor of Yunyang. After all, Wang Daokun's wife only gave birth to one daughter, and the two concubines are still young, far from the point of being alone, in the entire She County and even in Huizhou Mansion, the prodigy may catch a lot of them, but there is only one demon who can break into the name of a disaster star by punching and kicking.
As for Cheng Naixuan, because he was the only son of Master Cheng and the name of Xu Hanlin's son-in-law, he came to deliver the post in person, and he almost broke his leg in the four towns and eight miles, and he had to give a few thin noodles, even Wang Shangning, who has always claimed to be the first eunuch in Shexian County, had to weigh the weight of the Cheng family. In addition, this time it was the villagers of Nanxi who sold grain and smashed Xiuning Rice Shop, which involved the summer tax, so Wang Shangning couldn't stay at home even more.
So, this old lady Wang, who is not young, has no successors, and the hope of a comeback has almost been lost, but he is still very utilitarian, on the day he received the post, he rushed to the house of his younger brother Wang Shangxuan, who lived in Fucheng, on a sliding rod. Zhuchuan Wang is now prominent because of him, but in the past it was not a great family, Wang Shangning was born as a craftsman, his father and ancestors were known as cultivators for two generations, and he had never been out of office, relying on his stepfather Cheng Sixun to be able to have today, so when he became a high-ranking official, he also asked his stepfather to get the title of deputy director of the pedestrian.
In Wang Shangning's generation, there are a total of three brothers, but the second brother has finally won the promotion and has been a petty official for several terms. But the third brother Wang Shangxuan only had one prisoner, and all the children and nephews in the next generation have not been able to take the exam until now, which has also become a heart disease for him.
Because of this, he spared no effort to make a comeback, or to be able to arch his nephew. Take a good hand of nephews, this is how to borrow the Xia tax silk silk to pit Wang Daokun, who would have thought that Wang Daokun would gently and skillfully rise and become the governor of Yunyang, but he still has to face the anxious Feipai white grain here!
However, for the sake of flying white food, it was difficult to sleep and eat for several days. The old lady Wang, who had lost a lot of weight, couldn't help but glare at the younger brother who had failed to study at this moment, but he had been protecting, and said word by word: "Are you sure that the news you found out from Nanjing is true?" ”
Wang Shangxuan is the eldest brother. At this moment, I can only say cautiously: "It's just that there is such a saying." It is said that it is a rich land in Nanzhili and Zhejiang, but there are a lot of taxes owed to the imperial court, and this time the bosses of the household department in Nanjing are anxious, so they can only come up with the trick of flying white grain, and use the method of agitation to let the states and counties pay all the summer taxes......"
Bang –
Wang Shangning's beard trembled with anger, and his hand slammed on the armrest. If this is the case, then the last time the eunuchs of the six counties of the government gathered, he missed the best opportunity!
But this is not necessarily true. On the Nanjing side, sometimes there will be suspicions. Wang Shangxuan thought about it and decided to speak more lively.
"Whether it's right or not. This time, the people of Nanxinan dared to smash the rice shop of the Xiuning people, and the Xiuning grain merchants must have been angry. You go over there and exert some force, let them put pressure, say, let them let out the wind, from now on. Don't accept the grain sold by the people of She County! ”
"This ...... Wouldn't it be too intense? It's just a grain store that has been smashed, and those grain merchants may not be the same as the enemy. ”
"Just sue them. If not, the government may still do its best to make trouble with the villagers. Ask them to make concessions! And now that they are under such pressure, the county government will not dare to indulge those prisoners. Speaking of this, Wang Shangning paused for a moment, and then continued, "That Wang Fulin is relying on Wang Daokun's face, standing up and raising his arms to be the convener, if he can't solve this matter and makes a fool of himself, Wang Daokun, who guarantees him, will lose face, and then it will be an opportunity to take advantage of the situation to put forward the equalization of summer tax silk!" ”
According to the news from Nanjing, although he was not sure that this Feipai Bailiang was a gimmick, he still decided to fight hard. Anyway, even if it reaches the worst point, this white grain heavy labor will not be apportioned to his head, it is the rice shop in the other five counties, mainly Xiuning people, who refuse to accept the people to sell grain, and they will not find out on their heads!
"What the eldest brother means is that Wang Daokun's family is rich, but the silver is all pressed on the Lianghuai salt industry, and it is impossible for that little show to use it?"
"The Wang Daokun brothers originally compensated Wang Daoyun for 7,000 taels of silver, and their father Wang Liangbin had already muttered a little. Now that his son is gone, he is the old lady in charge of the family, and he may be able to turn a blind eye to other things, how can he mess around with money? ”
Since Wang Shangning said so, Wang Shangxuan thought that this was indeed the best opportunity to take advantage of Wang Daokun and others to regain the leading position in She County in one fell swoop, and immediately found the right person to instigate. In the afternoon of the same day, in Fucheng County, except for the two rice shops in She County, all other rice shops hung up their exemption cards, and they no longer accepted grain from the people of She County.
At this moment, it was the final sprint of the summer tax payment, and the last group of villagers who sold grain were panicked in the face of such a sudden change in the situation. For a time, the prefecture and county did not know how many people had to stay in the city because of the sale of grain, from the government to the people, it was a situation of black clouds pressing the city. At this time, Wang Fulin pulled Cheng Naixuan as the convener, and the big gathering of the leading figures in She County finally kicked off.
On the day of the conference, Wang Shangning got up early in the morning, but waited until noon before leaving.
The big man has the privilege of being late, not to mention the seniority and age, who else in She County can compare to him? Let people wait for him, this can show his status and authority in She County. Although Wang Daokun has returned to the dynasty, it may be said that he will have a dragon fight with Yin Zhengmao, who is now in the limelight, but he can sit on the mountain in She County and watch the tiger fight, and then let his nephew and fisherman benefit!
The belated old lady Wang stopped in front of the champion building that hosted the hero's banquet, and saw that the person who personally greeted the guests in front of the door was the owner Hong Renwu, but he didn't see the hosts Wang Fulin and Cheng Naixuan who posted today, and his face was not very good-looking. As a respected elder who has been a celebrity, of course he can't immediately make trouble in this kind of place, but he can be the grandson of Wang Shangxuan, who can accompany him. That is, his nephew Wang Youmin frowned and asked: "Why, the old lady came all the way over, but Wang Cheng and the two little ministers didn't see any of them, is this the truth of hospitality?" ”
There are six counties in Huizhou, of which Jixi occupies only one-sixth of She County. The smallest and poorest, but there are also a few top wealthy businessmen. But although Hong Renwu said that his business was doing well, if he was ranked in Huizhou Mansion according to the number of family assets, he would not be able to take the turn, let alone be tough in front of a former high-ranking official like Wang Shangning, who had served as a political envoy and governor. Therefore, at this moment, he lost 100,000 points of caution. He whispered flatteringly: "Old lady Wang's forgiveness, Wang Xiaoguan and Cheng Gongzi have always been here to greet VIPs before, but because Duan Fuzun just arrived a while before you, Old Lady Wang, they haven't had time to come down." ”
How did Duan Chaozong come?
Wang Shangning chuckled in his heart. After all, Duan Chaozong is the prefect of Huizhou, and in the past, as long as he attended with this prefect. He would be very knowledgeable and interested in arriving one step earlier to show the eunuch's respect for the court officials, but today he didn't expect Duan Chaozong to come. Now, his belated time has become a shelf that relies on the old and sells the old! But the mistakes were all wrong, and he couldn't immediately catch up and make up for it like a stunned boy, but he casually bowed his head slightly and said that he knew, but he was no longer as sure in his heart as before.
Although unlike the previous Heroes Banquet, where a total of nearly 300 students from the Six Counties came, today's Champion Building only had more than 20 guests. But after Wang Fulin came to contact him in person, Hong Renwu vacated the entire champion building for the gathering of celebrities in She County. Because he knew that Wang Fulin was in Songming Mountain. Or go to Xixinan to borrow a rich merchant garden and set the place in Fucheng, just to show a fair attitude. Repeatedly hosting such large-scale banquets is very beneficial to the reputation of Zhuangyuan Building. At this moment, he leaned forward to lead the way, and the corner of his eye kept observing Wang Shangning's expression.
He didn't see anything on Wang Shangning's face. found that Wang Youmin, who was supporting Wang Shangning, had an ugly face and pursed his lips. It is clear that he is still angry because Wang Fulin and Cheng Naixuan did not come to greet him.
Above the third floor, for the uninvited Duan Chaozong. Cheng Naixuan was genuinely surprised, and the other guests were also surprised. And Wang Fulin has been expressing panic and anxiety since he greeted this mansion honor, which also makes people feel that Wang Xiaoxiucai, as the master, did not expect Duan Mansion to come in person. Therefore, when Wang Shangning went upstairs accompanied by Hong Renwu, including the eunuchs attending today's meeting, and Master Cheng, who had a face-to-face with his son Cheng Naixuan but did not speak, all had a subtle feeling.
The old lady Wang, who relies on the old and sells the old, is really a little unwise to arrive late today!
Wang Shangning greeted Duan Chaozong apologetically, and said that he didn't have time to greet Wang Fulin in the face of the apology, and his appearance was also very generous, but he regretted it in his heart. This kind of regret may only be seen by others, but Wang Fulin knows it clearly.
Since the Shuai Jiamo incident, Zhao Wuye finally got on the ship of the Wang family in Songming Mountain, so the movements of Wang Shangxuan, Wang Shangning's temporary residence, he all knew about the people under Zhao Wuye, and even knew as early as early in the morning when Wang Shangning was going to leave. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he went through the guò torture room Wu Si official and the household room Liu Hui, and exerted a little effort on the side of the government office.
On that day, Wang Fulin publicly announced the invitation to the celebrities of She County, and it reached Duan Chaozong's ears in a moment. Regarding the subject of Xia tax, Duan Chaozong is now simply sensitive as a conditioned reflex. Seeing that the summer tax in the six counties is going to be seven, seven, eighty, or eight, suddenly such a thing comes out, how can he sit firmly on Mount Tai? He can ignore the case disposed of by the Shexian County Government, but the five counties, especially Xiuning Mixing, do not accept the grain of Shexian, and now a huge storm has gathered, but he can't ignore it.
Therefore, starting early this morning, with the leadership of Wang Xiaoguan, all kinds of news came to his ears, saying that there were already people present at this meeting, and the total number of people was more than the previous meeting of the six counties of the government.
After receiving this Duan Fuzun, Wang Fulin justifiably pulled Cheng Naixuan to greet him, greeted him, and accompanied him to meet with the representatives of the squires, which was the scene where Wang Shangning was late but suffered a dumb loss.
At this moment, everyone is here, Wang Fulin knows that Cheng Naixuan has broken his leg in the past few days, and Master Cheng is also here, of course he will not let this bad friend rush to the front.
Although he represents the Wang clan of Songming Mountain, today is different from the last time when he did not regard himself as a representative of Wang Daokun, so since he has not yet put on the table and served the food, he does not set up the main seat, but stands directly in front of everyone.
ps: Today is a total of more than 10,000 words, ask for a monthly pass, can students who don't have it support a recommendation ticket? Thank you ^_^ (to be continued)
