Chapter 139: The Largest Seal in History
Chapter 139: The largest official in history
Naturally, Li Chuncun's father-in-law will not remind Li Shaonan, our family will pull you, that is already a great affection, as the so-called dead friends do not die poorly.
In the eunuchs, those who can say two good words without endangering themselves are already righteous fathers-in-law, but if you expect the eunuch to risk offending his master to save an official, it is unrealistic. Don't fall into the ground, this is enough for Li Chuncun, after all, he and Li Shaonan are not the kind of intimate relationship between the great eunuch Feng Bao and the former cabinet old Zhang Juzheng.
Therefore, he looked at Li Shaonan with a look of ecstasy, and closed his mouth tightly.
And Li Shaonan was pleasantly surprised for a while, a long promise, and said to Xiao Douzi: "So, thank you Dou Gonggong." "This look, even Mrs. Cai can't stand it, the mud horse, the face of the literati has been lost to you, the old man has to be tactful, you are a second-grade official, and you are so courteous to a eunuch from the fifth grade, I bah
This kind of mentality is like a widow who secretly steals a man and looks down on the * son who is sold publicly, and the taste of [the old lady is cleaner than you] can't be concealed, and even the corners of her mouth are skimmed.
And Li Shaonan had to be like this, he felt that he had offended Uncle Xiaoguo ruthlessly, although he had the support of Zhang Whale and Zhang Gonggong, but he couldn't afford to offend Concubine De, what kind of thing is his cheek, a Yongle Tongbao can't be exchanged, it's better not to.
In this way, on the surface, there was suddenly a group of harmony, hello, hello, hello, everyone, as for Hou Xiaobai, who cares about him, even Li Shaonan won't take a look, if Hou Xiaobai turns around and sees his brother-in-law's appearance, I'm afraid he will die again because of regret.
Mrs. Cai immediately called the soldiers to clean the cabin, and the window that was broken by Lu Louwei, the third master, was hung up with a Persian woven blanket to block the wind, Hou Xiaobai's body was estimated to have been fed to the sharks by those soldiers, and the blood stains on the ground were wiped clean, and everyone sat down, at this time, Zhongli interpreted the story of going to sea with the obedient official in front of everyone, naturally, he didn't have to be picky in his eyes, he picked up those nice words, such as soldiers with their lives, etc., At the end, he also reported a battle loss.
Everyone didn't think it was strange, to be honest, the battle damage reported by the military generals was not outrageous, for example, Zhongli reported the battle damage to those ironclad ships for the good officials, but only one-tenth, and the conventions of civil officials, such as military salaries, walked around from the civilian system, and had to float thirty percent, which still gives you face, if the guys below are disobedient, there is no fifty percent, anyway, even if all of them take the land route, they will also float, as for why they will float on land, the ghost knows.
Accustomed to drifting thirty percent, just the civil officials who are still Qing officials, report one-tenth of the battle damage to the generals, that is already very optimistic, Mrs. Cai even praised Zhongli a few words, Zhongli blushed and didn't even dare to say it, thinking of what the good official said, this kind of bureaucracy, if it encounters a bad enemy, where can it be relied on.
"Uncle Xiaoguo, why doesn't he reverse with you?" Mrs. Cai asked Zhongli. Zhong Wei said that Fusang was a country not to be levied by Taizu, and the truth naturally could not be said, so he had to wait for Ai Ai to say: "Then Fusang has a famous princess Chiyo, who is fifteen years old, one year older than Uncle Xiaoguo, and the two get along, this ...... Weekend...... That ......"
He was hesitant, everyone understood, oh I see, Mrs. Cai is the governor of Zhejiang, and he knows a thing or two about the Fusang system, and he couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, "This lord of Fusang, speaking of which, is just a county order of my Ming Dynasty, where is it worthy of the identity of a small uncle, no shadow ......" He called Zhongli's watch, and there was a bit of a scolding in it, "This matter, you can't help but do something wrong." ”
Xiao Douzi took a sip of the tea made by Mrs. Cai's own soldiers, put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Lord Governor inevitably has some eggs and bones, how does General Zhong know that Uncle Xiao Guo has become Uncle Guo." It sounds like a mouthful, but everyone knows what it means.
Mrs. Cai naturally knew that he was just saying this on purpose, and when he heard this, he smiled and said: "What Father-in-law Dou said is very true, this mansion is really a bit nitpicky, no shadow, you don't have to blame this mansion, this mansion is also anxious for a while." Zhongli hurriedly arched his hand, "The last general doesn't dare." ”
After the ins and outs of this are clarified, of course, the so-called ins and outs are the ins and outs made up by Zhongli and the obedient officials in advance. Everyone will discuss with each other what to do next. ,
Since it is the father of the obedient official who was canonized as an official, although Concubine Zheng can give her younger brother an official position such as a commander or a commander and a fellow knowledge, but Concubine Zheng actually did not give her own brother a half-official position, but it is also a little strange, Mrs. Cai is wondering, is it that Concubine De thinks that her younger brother can be admitted to the Jinshi? However, it is unlikely that the Ming Dynasty did not have this convention, but this thought only flashed in his heart, and he did not dare to speculate on the meaning of Concubine Mode, as long as he and Zhongli wanted to get closer and closer, he didn't have to lick his face and pat himself like Li Shaonan.
In the end, everyone discussed with each other, and Zhongli turned back again, of course, Xiao Douzi's father-in-law strongly asked to go together, this is not easy to stop, after all, people have the orders of Concubine De Niangniang, anyway, a court servant from the fifth grade, even if there are officials who participate in a few books, presumably Concubine De Niangniang also has her own plans.
Because of the presence of Xiao Douzi's father-in-law and the brocade-clothed guard Cheng Baihu, Mrs. Cai simply dialed twenty ironclad ships, including Zhongli's two thousand material ships Dafu ship, these twenty ironclad ships sound like a lot, but for Zhejiang, it is not Erer, if there is more, it will be a little troublesome, after all, you can still say that you can be said to be a bandit when you go around Ryukyu, but it is indeed a little far away to Fusang, even so, Mrs. Cai herself is estimated to be a member of the Yanguan Ginseng, however, it is worth it to be able to tie up with Concubine De, just as the so-called Jane is in the emperor's heart, As long as Concubine De Niangniang has the name of Governor Cai once or twice on the premise of the emperor, everything he has done will be worth it, and he will make a lot of money.
The happiest person here naturally wants to talk about the big head, he has a childish heart, and he knows that his young lady has become Concubine De, Concubine De, I know, then, isn't the master just like the Pang Taishi of the previous dynasty, can he go sideways?
The story of the Yang family in Tianbo Mansion, most of the storytellers are rotten, and when they think of their master, they are like Pang Taishi in it, and they can bully whoever they want, and they can't help but steal the fun, but after thinking about it again, they are a little entangled, and the uncle in the storytelling story doesn't seem to end well in the end.
He couldn't help but ask Zhongli, Zhongli was talking to Xiao Douzi, for Xiao Douzi, Zhongli could say a little more, however, most of them were still hidden, such as dominating the southeast coast and collecting taxes by force, this could not be said in any case, in fact, when he learned that Zheng Chengguan had become the uncle of the country, he was also a little entangled for a while, but he was very confident in the good official, his brother, but he was born with a genius, presumably, even if he became a relative of the emperor, there would be a lot of ways to toss, one is not good, It's even more tormenting, and it's impossible to say.
After listening to the big head's question, Zhongli hadn't opened his mouth yet, and Xiao Douzi first snorted, "Bah, babaa, the wind blows away." Big head, don't even think about this kind of thought in the future. ”
And Wen Renshi, who became a servant girl of a good official, naturally wanted to follow to Fusang, and when he heard this, he said coldly: "The real Pang Taishi can be literate and martial in history, extremely rich and expensive, and has a longevity test, he is a rare famous minister, and only a little kid like you can believe the words of those storytellers." ”
"You ......" The big head was enraged, and couldn't help but say sarcastically: "Why can't you listen to Mr. Storyteller's words, I just remember, Mr. Zao Fei of the Spring Primrose Building said that you will give the young master of my family the life of licking the ditch and eggs sooner or later, isn't it right?" But it's just a fulfillment. ”
These words are extremely ugly, Wen Ren's face changed suddenly, one red and one white, and Xiao Douzi couldn't help but scold the big head, what is your identity now, Concubine De often hangs you on her lips, the emperor knows that there is a big-headed doll called Shan Sinan, and you will inevitably be the commander of the army in the future, should you also say this? It's too bad to hear, don't say that kind of swear again.
As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Zhongli, Zhongli's hairs stood on end, and he quickly made a bitter face to distinguish it, "This is not what we taught him, absolutely not." ”
"Then you just count on the magic of those storytellers" Wen Renshi hated and stomped his feet, but then he regretted it a little, what he said was too abrupt, and he couldn't help but glance at it secretly, and sure enough, Xiao Douzi frowned first.
"The slave knows it's wrong." Wen Renshi hurriedly apologized, as the so-called person had to bow his head under the eaves, she didn't dare to blow up her wings with Xiao Douzi, Concubine De behind him could stretch out a finger and kill herself. ,
"Miss Shishi, do you know why Niangniang wants to keep you?" Xiao Douzi felt the need to knock on this woman, Wen Renshi was stunned, hesitated for a while, and felt that he knew astronomy and geography, and knew everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
She cautiously said this reason, and as a result, Xiao Douzi covered her mouth and laughed, "Miss Shishi, let's tell you the truth, Niangniang said, you have married two men, and you have given birth to dolls, and you are a head of the upper hall, if you say that you understand men, this Ming Dynasty will also be regarded as your number one person, the Zheng family has been passed down for several generations, and the meaning of Niangniang is to let you serve in front of Uncle Xiaoguo, using your body, not your brain." ”
These words were heavier than slapping Wen Ren's hard, and even more striking Wen Ren's than what the big head said just now, her face turned red and blue, her nose was open, and her soft nails were clenched tightly, and her sharp nails even broke the skin of her palm.
Wen Ren's family always tries to hide his background as the head of the hall, and always has to put on the posture of Mrs. Command, but outside of what people say, we can't look down on the things you are confident in, and the things you want to hide in every possible way are the things we want to borrow.
At this time, large families have customs, such as marrying a daughter, you must first send a handsome maid to your aunt to sleep with your aunt, that is, to teach your aunt how to sleep with a woman. And in the royal family, this kind of rule is even heavier, generally before the wedding, there are mammas who are proficient in the affairs of men and women to guide all night, and now, Wen Ren's family is in the heart of Concubine De, it is such a person to choose, you have a good ability to serve men, you can count the number of people in the world, as for what scheming, do you need it? He is my younger brother, the brother-in-law of the Ming Emperor, and in the future, only others will be able to slap him, and no one can bully him.
Xiao Douzi's words are actually to tell Wen Ren's that with you, what you use is the means of licking the ditch and taking the eggs as the big head said, you really think that you are the lady of the command, and you are the head of the hall.
Biting her lip to death, Wen Renshi bit her lip, and for a while, she really wanted to die headlonging.
She is also considered a tough person, but after being hit by Concubine De, people didn't even show their faces at all, but just instructed their slaves and maids to convey and strip her naked again and again.
However, she didn't dare, if she really died, she didn't dare to imagine how Concubine De would treat her family, although she couldn't remember what her biological father and mother were like, but it was still her father, she still had her brother, sister-in-law, nephew, and younger brothers and sisters, how dare she die.
The green tendons on her forehead were tensed, jumping suddenly, and the beautiful face was even a little distorted because of this, even she didn't know how she restrained herself, after all, she actually endured it, but her voice was so hoarse that even she was startled, "The slave is guilty......"
Xiao Douzi nodded lightly, "It's good to know, Niangniang will never treat people who work hard, but if there are subordinates and slaves who think about things that shouldn't be thought about all day long, there is no need for Niangniang to speak, and some loyal subordinates clean up for Niangniang......" He said, there was a trace of fierceness on his white and immature face.
When he said this, Cheng Baihu, the brocade guard who had been very silent and didn't like to speak, was standing not far away, his right hand had been pressed on the handle of the embroidered spring knife, that hand was slender, dry and very steady, it was a hand that naturally held the knife.
At this time, the big head looked at Xiao Douzi in surprise and said, "Little Douzi, how are you ...... Suddenly it looks like it's going to eat people. ”
Xiao Douzi smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said in his heart, isn't it normal for people to eat people in the palace, so he sighed, "Big head, it's still your life" This kind of thing, it is impossible for him to say it normally, and he only confides in front of the big head.
The big head pouted, "Why don't you say that I practiced so hard when I was a child, when I practiced knives, you were playing on the street, I didn't know how much I envied you at that time, I could play on the street every day......" This is very childish, but Xiao Douzi sounded, and he couldn't help but feel very emotional, what is hard work and what is happiness, who can say it accurately, so he smiled and patted his hands.
They went all the way to Fusang, naturally some people were happy and some were unhappy, for example, most of the military guards on the ship got some reward money in Ryukyu, and they were about to go home for the New Year, but when they turned their heads, they went to Fusang again, and some people inevitably complained in private, but Zhongli was known for his prestige, and he could suppress these military guards. ,
Just when these men who were half farming and half soldiers in Ningbo were complaining, the good officials in Fusang were rewarding them lavishly, and he even set a record.
The capture of Ogura Castle was a breeze for the ironclad ships of the obedient officials, and after the destruction of Ogura Castle, as was customary, there were no living Maori samurai, and then, the men on the ship began to sweep up the grain, rice and money accumulated in Ogura Castle.
Okura Castle was originally under the rule of the Otomo family, and the iron cannons of the Otomo family were also ranked in the entire Fuso, and later Okura Castle was robbed by the Maori family, as the bridgehead of the Maori family on Kyushu Island, the Maori family also spared no expense to Ogura Castle with countless iron cannons, so the number of iron cannons in Okura Castle was more than 1,000.
The price of this Fuso iron cannon is slightly different, about two hundred yuan a piece on Kyushu Island, this is because of the special iron cannon of Kyushu Tanegashima, if you take it to Fuso Island to sell, the price can be dozens of more, at this time the Fuso daimyo, unless it is as rich as Oda Nobunaga, generally, even if it is a Maori family, although this thousand iron cannons are not bought by smashing the pot and selling iron, but they are definitely bought through gritted teeth.
Coupled with the looting of the gold and silver savings and grain and rice in Ogura Castle, in addition to the 5% loot given to Ryanstein, he earned more than 300,000 yuan.
At this time, Hirado Castle, Tachibanayama Castle, and Kokura Castle were connected into one piece, and the entire stone height was close to 500,000, of course, not all of them were obedient officials, and below Tachibanayama Castle was Takahashi Shaoyun, that is, Xiong Zongmao's father's territory.
However, this is also very remarkable, and it has only been a few days
Therefore, the obedient officials decided to divide the fields into households, and only the fields could hold these avant-garde soldiers tightly by their sides, and seal off all the land around Hirado Castle, so that they could firmly occupy this area.
Gather all the guards who were willing to come with him to Fusang on the seashore, it was evening, the temperature was a little cooler, and the sea breeze was blowing for a while, but almost everyone's hearts were hot, because Xiao Mao only opened his mouth, and gave them two hundred stone of land each.
These military guards have been handed down from generation to generation, and they are all soldiers while farming, but after two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, many people have no land, and in fact, many people are tenant farmers of hundreds of households.
Ordinary people don't know how much a stone of grain is, how can they not know how much their ancestors have been farming and serving as soldiers for generations, two hundred stones, a county lord's annual salary is only 90 stone of rice. From this point of view, they have become richer than the county lord, but the county lord does not live on a serious salary, which everyone in the Ming Dynasty knows.
The obedient officer standing at the front was full of spirits, and shouted loudly to these peasant soldiers: "According to the rules of Fusang, every 100 stone high must send 5 soldiers, and now everyone has 200 stones, and each of you can manage ten soldiers. ”
Xiaoqi was the last military attache of the Ming Dynasty, but no matter what, he was still an official.
The guards below were stunned, you must know that in the history of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been such a large-scale feudal official wish, even if it is only the smallest small flag the size of a sesame mung bean, this is more than 500 small flag officials in one breath.
