Wang Pan and Yuan Ze visited their parents, Wang Anshi asked Zhao Bo to settle down for Wang Pan and his party, Wang Pan knew that Zhao Bo was the housekeeper of this house, Wang Pan knew that although the family luck was not good in the past two years, first of all, Wang Anshi's officialdom was not satisfactory, and he wanted to do things for the people, but he was just idle in the capital, Wang Anshi resigned because he felt that his ambitions could not be displayed, and secondly, he just happened to have Anshi's mother died, so he resigned and returned to his hometown, and Wang Pan was away for two years, and the emperor's life was not even returned to the Great Song Dynasty, and now the family reunion is a mixture of joy and sorrow, Naturally, there are a lot of things to say,

I heard that Wang Bian also resigned, Wang Anshi felt very good, although he was not in the capital, but he also knew that the court has been frequently transferred officials recently, especially a reckless boy like Wang Bian, it is not a good thing to resign and let him meditate and cultivate deeply.

Wang Anshi nodded and said, "Even if you resigned, you happened to be studying with Yuan Ze at home." ”

"Father, although the child has resigned, but he can't live in Linchuan for a long time, he was entrusted by the prime minister in the previous period, and there is a holy edict, the child has to go to the south."

Wang Anshi frowned slightly, this second son really couldn't settle down, but after thinking about it, now the two children are still young, since they are still working for the imperial court, it seems that their careers will not be broken in the future, but the father and son have just met, and they are inevitably a little reluctant: "This, just arrived home, are you leaving?" ”

Seeing the expressions of his father and mother, Wang guessed what Wang Anshi thought: "I didn't leave until the New Year." ”

"That's good, that's good." Wang Anshi immediately turned his worries into joy, Wang Anshi wanted to ask something more, Mrs. sympathized with the hard work of the two children, so she reminded Wang Anshi: Since the two children came back together, if they don't have to stay for a few days, it is better to let them rest first, and then go to meet the uncle of the same country,

This is also reasonable, after all, Wang Anshi's family is a big family in Linchuan, and the two brothers said goodbye to their parents and left the study.

Yuan Ze walked in front, Wang followed behind, the two went downstairs to the second courtyard, Yuan Ze stood and looked at Wang with a smile,

Seeing the smiling expression on Yuan Ze's face, Wang Bei couldn't help asking, "Brother, what are you laughing at?" ”

"Laugh at you, now I'm not leaving, but it's up to you to see if you can find your own room?!"

This is really a bit embarrassing for the king: "Okay, brother, don't talk about finding a room, just say that what I just said let us go to meet relatives and friends, it's all about my life." The king scratched his head and said,

Yuan Ze smiled and patted the king next to him: "You can rest assured, although you don't know them, but they have all heard of you, your name has already spread all over your hometown, our father is the pride of our Wang family, I will take you to see them one by one, it is estimated that it will take four or five days." ”

"Okay, that's a clear thing, today you tell me first, which is my room."

"There's no room for you in this courtyard, let's go, I'll take you there." Yuan Ze said, and took Wang Bian through the corridor, out of Wang Anshi's mansion, behind Wang Anshi's mansion, there is also a mansion, the mansion is not big and only has two entrances, but it is very quiet,

Wang couldn't help but feel that he had only lived in such a courtyard in isolation when he was a child, of course, he didn't blame Wang Anshi at all: "It's very quiet here, but it's so close to my father's mansion, doesn't anyone ask who lives here." ”

Wang looked at this mansion and said with infinite emotion: "This was once the grandmother's residence, after the death of my grandfather's first wife, my grandmother was taken to the front mansion, my father was not my grandfather's eldest son, two uncles An Ren, although An Tao was not born to my grandmother, but my grandmother regarded it as her own after passing the house, and now they are all officials in the Jiangnan generation, and this mansion has been vacant until you and I are born." ”

Wang Bei silently counted this in his heart, and this came out of the two uncles, plus Wang Anshi's own brothers, An Guo, An Li, how could Yuan Ze say that he would visit for two or three days?

The two of them talked and entered the mansion, and the people in the king's house turned out to be here, and the lady was thoughtful, and when she saw that the king also brought her family, she was naturally still in this mansion.

The second Yen Ze took Wang Pan to visit around, this visit Wang Pan only learned what a big family is, Wang Anshi's grandfather had a total of five sons, to Wang Anshi's generation is even more flourishing, these uncles and uncles visited from house to house, no wonder Yuan Ze bought gifts in the capital and loaded a full car, these people have already recognized Wang Bang dizzy, so easy to visit, Wang Pan just breathed a sigh of relief, but listen, these are not over, there are a few more to visit,

These families are even more different, they are Wang Anshi's maternal grandfather's family, Wang Anshi and his grandfather's brother Wu Min have four sons, the eldest son Wu Ruiguan is the secretary, and he is the father of Mrs. Wang Anshi, and this Wu Min's wife is the sister of Zeng Gong Zengbu's grandfather, Wang Jian is already big when he listens, how can Wang Bian count his father Wang Anshi and his mother Wu are a little related, but Wang Bian finally knows why he was born with dementia,

The ancients really didn't know the harm of marriage between close relatives.

It turned out that the Wu family was also a big family in Linchuan Jinxi, Wang Anshi married Wu Rui's daughter Wu as his wife, and the two families of Wu and Wang were married for generations, and they were rumored to be beautiful in Linchuan.

This is not counting Wang Anshi's three younger sisters who married Zhang Kui, Zhu Mingzhi, and Shen Jichang, who were born and talented, Wang Anguo married Zeng Bu's sister, and Wang Anli married Xie Jiang's daughter, and now Wang Fang knows that his sister is married to Wu Chong's son, this Wu Anzhi is also a court official, and the official is a water envoy, and this water envoy is not a water envoy, this is the imperial court specializing in the management of irrigation and maintenance canal departments, the Sui and Tang dynasties and the Song Dynasty took the water envoy as the chief of the water supervisor, and the official rank of this official is generally from three to five grades,

Knowing that these kings can't help but think of the Dream of Red Mansions, the four families of the Dream of Red Mansions, these families are deeply rooted in the local area, and they are united through marriage and other means, forming a relationship of "all of them are connected to each other, and they are both honored and lost", especially Wang Bian thought that his little sister who could talk just now was going to marry the Xianyou Kuibian family in the future, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart The choice of the Song Dynasty,

This is really a job to let the king run and break his legs, each family has given a gift to take a photo, and they have to visit for several days, these entertainment can be much harder than the king's foreign conquest, of course, these things are not explained, it is because the king has gone this way, among these relatives and friends, the king has become a hot sweet, although the king has temporarily resigned, but these, "choose the door, ask the family law, do not ask the rich" of the big family portal, all fancy the king,

What's wrong with the king, now there is no main room, although he temporarily resigned, he is young and promising, his reputation is outside, and he is so young, handsome and dashing, whenever he sees these elders asking about the family with concern, Wang next to him has a hunch that he is also a chess piece in the overall situation,

Wang Anshi's premonition is not wrong at all, Wang Anshi and his wife, who are sitting at home and looking forward to the two brothers next to Wang to finish dealing with relatives and friends quickly, are also hesitating about the marriage of their two sons, the eldest son Wang Yan is easy to do, and he has already decided to marry Pang Zi in the same county, just waiting for the big wedding; However, the second son Wang Bian, now has a family and a business, especially Wang Bian is a person with a more correct idea, although some people are willing to talk about the matchmaker, choose one of these large families, the old couple is still a little difficult,

This matter has become the main topic of discussion between Wang Anshi and his wife recently, and finally discussed whether to choose between the Wu family or the Zeng family, and the two argued.

Wang Anshi lives in his ancestral home, and has little contact with the local government, so he doesn't know what happened when this county order suddenly came to the house.

The county order of Linchuan County is surnamed Zhu, and he was admitted to the Jinshi in his forties, and it was easy to get mixed with the county order of the ninth grade, but he finally has a grade, and he thinks that there will always be a day when he slowly boils up.

Speaking of which, I have to talk about the official system of the Song Dynasty, first of all, the Song Dynasty had to be an official in other places, and if you are not familiar with the place, if you don't have some means, it is not easy to manage; Second, it is more difficult to be a county official, the local government of the Song Dynasty is divided into three levels, the highest level is called the road, which is equivalent to the road of the Tang Dynasty, the middle level is the government, the state, the army, and the prison, which is equivalent to the state capital of the Tang Dynasty, the lowest level is still the county, the first divided into fifteen roads, and then divided into more than 20 roads, since the five generations, the local administrators are all soldiers,

In the Tang Dynasty, the heads of the provinces were observers, according to the name, the observers were sent by the Yushitai to inspect the local administration, and they were not formal local administrators, but later gradually became local chiefs, which has been said in the Tang Dynasty, and changed again in the Song Dynasty, these officials, also known as the supervisors in the Song Dynasty, each road has a total of four supervisors, commonly known as Shuai, Cao, Xian, Cang, "Shuai" is to pacify the envoys, in charge of the military industry and civil, leading the army brigade ban, rewards and punishments, "Cao" is the transfer of envoys, the wealth of the hand, the consumption of the Deng, the accumulation of funds," "Constitution" is to raise the sentence according to the probation, to be in charge of justice, to lead the prison lawsuits, and to restore the prisoners in detail, and "cang" is to promote the Changping envoy, to take charge of the rescue, to lead the Changping Yicang, and to disperse the water conservancy, these four are not local governors, but are sent by the central government to supervise and direct the localities.

In the states and counties of the Tang Dynasty, as long as you flatter one boss, that is, the observer, and the Song Dynasty had to flatter four bosses, namely Shuai, Cao, Xian, and Cang, you can think that the local officials are difficult to do, among the four divisions, the Cao envoy, that is, the transfer envoy is the most important, the local finance, are in his hands, he must transfer all the local wealth to the central government, and this Zhu County Order came here for three years after the New Year, it is said that there is no major event in the past two years, and he wants to make a safe and steady transition, how do you know that the harvest in the county in this last year is not good, so it will be more difficult for him to do,

Originally, there was a Chen Yuanwai in this county, and in recent years, the errands apportioned were sent to this Chen Yuanwai, and the ancestors of this Chen Yuan also had some land, and he was an only son in his generation, but it was not the material of a prosperous family, and he could not be civil or martial, but he also gave birth to a kind heart of a nest, and the taxes assessed by the government, he could not collect it and did not dare to offend the government, so he had to pad it himself, and he thought that he might be able to mix a good job with the government, but the more he mixed it up, the worse it became, and finally there was a scene seen on the street next to Wang,

Then what is the purpose of this Zhu County order to come to Wang Anshi's mansion?
