Chapter 118: Taoguang Cultivates Obscurity

How many grades and how many products?

As Huang Ziren's words landed, Master Jiang's face became as red as pig's liver, even a child who had just studied knew how big the gap was between the sixth grade and the ninth grade, but the Ming Dynasty has always used literature to control the military, even if it was the general town of the second grade, in the face of the governor of the third grade, he was also very respectful and trembling.

Although the actual situation is the case, there is no clear text in the Ming Dynasty that the grade of military generals is much lower than that of civil officials, and no military general has ever dared to ask face-to-face, Lao Tzu's grade is higher than you, you are a little governor, how should the prefect be.

Now, there is such an unobtrusive person who tries a hundred households from the sixth grade, in front of all the soldiers, he asks the master of Jianchang, the patrol envoy Jiang, my grade is higher than yours, who is appropriate to greet whom?

Master Jiang's face turned from red to purple, from purple to blue, just like opening a dyeing workshop, changing several colors, only then did he endure his bad breath, and shouted coldly at the moment: "My Ming Dynasty has always respected the text, even if General Huang is a hundred households from the sixth grade, but this official is the patrol envoy of the Jianchang patrol battalion, so naturally there is no reason to greet the deputy patrol envoy!" ”

"Is that the case?" Huang Ziren looked at Deputy Envoy Ge with a confused expression.

Ge Qiao looked embarrassed, and said: "Lord Huang, my system is like this, what the patrol envoy said, it's probably like this, besides, Master Jiang is also the patrol envoy, and as the deputy patrol envoy, there is naturally no reason not to salute the patrol envoy. ”

Huang Ziren listened, thought for a long time, seemed to have figured it out, straightened his sleeves, solemnly saluted Jiang Zhunan, who was blue in the face, and finally pulled Xing Zhongshan again, and persuaded him with a matter: "Mr. Xing, Master Ge has said, Lord Jiang is the patrol envoy, although the grade is a lot lower than us, but in terms of rules, we have to salute Lord Jiang." ”

Hearing this, Xing Zhongshan saluted Jiang Zhunan expressionlessly.

Jiang Zhushu was holding back his anger in his heart, but it was inconvenient to have a seizure, and he was immediately scolded by Xing Huang and the others, and sat down for a long time before he remembered to give a lecture, and stumbled to a group of soldiers of the patrol battalion to say some words of encouragement.

The effect of the speech was naturally very small, and when Jiang finished speaking, no one responded, and a lonely applause sounded in the corner, and it paused halfway through. In the end, it was Deputy Envoy Ge who took the lead in applauding, so as not to make Master Jiang's first lecture in the patrol battalion seem too cold.

The news that Jiang Zhushu was not welcomed in the patrol camp soon reached Xu Liang's ears, and Xu Liang thought that Huang Ziren's deliberate provocation was not worth it. As a result, Huang Ziren replied with a sneer: "If you compliment him to me, will he reuse me?" Who in Jianchang doesn't know that you are like brothers?! ”

Xu Liang heard that Huang Ziren insisted on this, so he also gave up, thinking that he had a protective body from the six grades and hundreds of households, and the little Jianchang master didn't dare to do anything to him, not to mention that at this time, all Xu Liang's focus was on Feng Suqin's condition.

Under Mr. Zhang's careful diagnosis and treatment, Feng Suqin finally came to her senses on the morning of the third day after the wedding. The first thing she said when she saw Xu Liang was: "Brother Xu, Suqin has made it difficult for you again......"

After all kinds of begging, he finally learned about his condition from Xu Liang's mouth, Feng Suqin saw it, and said with a cool smile: "Mr. Zhang is really a good doctor, and he can still break Suqin's birth date, which is really amazing." ”

Xu Liang was very sad, accompanied him carefully, and never left, talking about the first acquaintance of the year, the money-greedy Wan'an rich man Xie Maocai, the city god temple on the edge of the city, and the clothes giving turmoil...... However, Feng Suqin's spirit was not as good as before, and she felt tired after chatting for a while, and whenever this happened, Xu Liang stopped the conversation and helped Feng Suqin to lie down carefully.

Naturally, the yamen did not go for many days. At the beginning of May, another official came and asked Xu Liang to go to the county government to discuss matters.

I couldn't help but be embarrassed when I saw Lu Chengyuan, the magistrate of a county, Jiang Zhunan, the chief secretary of a county, and Qin Feng, a classmate of the year. Lu Xiancheng chatted about some innocuous topics, and then explained with a slight red face that the patrol envoy was replaced, probably saying that this was the meaning of the Yamen of the Nankang Prefect, and it was difficult for him to do something like that as the prefect of Jianchang.

Xu Liang couldn't help but be sincerely polite. But in my heart, I sneered, everyone has changed, and if I say sorry, I just took off my pants and farted, which stinks.

Then Lu Zhixian talked about the original intention of letting Xu Liang return to the government this time. This is about to a holy decree a few days ago, that is, the appointment of Xu Liang as the assistant envoy of the Yunshan Wei Gong Ancestral Hall, although the name is a little funny, but in the end, it is a real Huang Juan holy decree, and it cannot be faked.

Xu Liang listened carefully, and only then did he know that another co-envoy of Nankang Mansion, Nankang Tong, would also rush to Jianchang to organize the construction of the Wei Gong Ancestral Hall with him.

This couldn't be worse news. Last time, He Tongju didn't find a place to start, so he rolled back to Nankang Mansion in a gloomy way, thinking that he could be quiet for a while, but he didn't expect that it wouldn't be long before He Tongju actually had a relationship with himself again!

Two people who are bound to do things together can foresee unpleasantness in the future.

In connection with the fact that the patrol envoy issued an approval document to replace people so quickly, it was not difficult for Xu Liang to think of the disgraceful role played by some people in Nankang Mansion. After leaving the Jianchang County Ya, Xu Liang immediately drove to Nanchang Mansion, and the carriage drove in from the back door of the house of Huang Weizhong, the political envoy of Jiangxi.

The old housekeeper of the Huang family naturally recognized Xu Liang, first complimented Xu Liang's promotion, and then led Xu Liang to a guest hall, saying that Lord Huang would meet the dignitaries in the front yard and let Xu Liang wait for a while.

Xu Liang got up and thanked him, and a silver ticket of a thousand taels fell into the hands of Steward Huang without a trace. Steward Huang glanced down, quietly tucked into his sleeve, and then took two little girls and gave Xu Liangqi a pot of good dragon wells.

said that it was a moment, Xu Liang also thought it was a moment, but two hours passed, and Huang Weizhong's round, chubby figure still did not appear in the hall. Butler Huang came over to gossip with him, and changed the pot of tea.

Then Huang Weizhong entered the house. He sat on the Taishi chair in the middle, panting heavily, and waved his hand at Xu Liang and said: "Virtuous nephew, you don't need to say more, you know a little bit about your intentions, and I will have to command the envoy in a while, alas, the northwest will not stop again." Let's cut a long story short. ”

"Uncle, please speak!" Xu Liang saw that Huang Weizhong was probably busy, so he was busy collecting his mind and asking for advice carefully.

Huang Weizhong glanced at him, nodded slightly, wiped the fine beads of sweat on his face, shook it a few times, and said: "Recently, the official of Jianchang County knows a little, I will tell you a little," he stretched out a finger and pointed upward, and said: "The peak of Jianchang, there are a few adults in Nankang Mansion who are very dissatisfied with you!" Some people in the court also have a lot of complaints about your promotion, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at you now, so in the days to come, the virtuous nephew should be more careful in everything, and don't leave a handle for those who have a heart. ”

Xu Liang was shocked in his heart, and said honestly: "My nephew is scared, I beg my uncle to teach me!" ”

Huang Weizhong nodded, got up and slapped Xu Liang with his fleshy hand, and said in a cordial tone: "Right now, Gonggong Wei is in full swing, and the holy favor is incomprehensible, aren't you still the co-creator of the Wei Gongci?" For most of the next half a year, you will not do anything, and wholeheartedly build this Wei Gong Ancestral Hall for the Chitose Lord, and then the real credit will be in hand, and no one will be able to touch you! ”

After explaining, Huang Weizhong walked out with a big belly.

Xu Liang shouted behind him: "Uncle, my nephew came this time, and he also brought some special products, I hope my uncle will accept it." ”

Huang Wei didn't look back, waved his hand back and said, "You can give these little things to the housekeeper." ”

Xu Liang stood in the hall and saw Huang Weizhong's bulging figure disappearing in the corner of the house, so he handed over a pair of crystal chess pieces brought with the car to Steward Huang, thanked Steward Huang for his invitation to luncheon, left Huang's mansion, and set off to return to Jianchang.

As soon as he returned to Jianchang County, he was called by Lu Zhixian.

"What? Do you want to raise 5,000 stone of grain and grass in three days? Xu Liang looked at the official document in his hand and exclaimed.

"Yes, Lord Xu doesn't know," Lu Zhixian sighed and explained: "Half a month ago, Shaanxi made another disturbance, Guyuan County was captured by the chaotic people, and the Pingliang prefect fled from the prefect's yamen in a panic, which really lost the face of the court!" Shengshang Longyan was furious, and deliberately sent troops to quell the rebellion, the so-called soldiers and horses did not move, the grain and grass went first, and what was sent to our Jianchang County was the five thousand stone grain and grass. Lord Xu, as the Cheng of Jianchang County, you are in charge of Qianliang Yao, you will handle this matter, and I will let Liu Yuan, the head of the household, assist you on the side. ”

Xu Liang listened and responded. Thinking that he heard only a few words in Huang Weizhong's mansion, he guessed that there must be a big mess in the northwest, but he didn't expect that Yan Zhan would send troops to suppress Cheng DΓΉ, and then thought of the annoying face of Liu Yuan, the head of the household, and couldn't help but feel very annoyed.

Liu Yuan, the head of the household, had already been waiting in Xu Liang's signature room. When Xu Liang entered the house and asked about the grain and grass in the county treasury, Director Liu smiled and said proudly: "Lord Xu, don't worry, we have been in Jiangnan for a long time, and all prefectures and counties have more or less grain in stock, although there are more than 5,000 stone grains, but they can be found together." Saying that, Director Liu presented an account book, and pointed while turning the pages: "My lord, please look, this is the grain stored in several warehouses of our Jianchang, this is the surplus grain of the year before last, this is last year, oh, some of these are just collected this year, and the subordinates have roughly calculated it, use this, and these warehouses are basically enough!" ”

Xu Liang checked the numbers on the account book, and couldn't help nodding and said, "Well, that's good." It is more than enough on the books, so in a while, Director Liu, you will take the official to the warehouses to take a walk, and you can really take a look. ”

Liu Yuan smiled after accepting the account book, waved his hand and said, "My lord, there is no problem on the account, and there is no problem in kind." Each warehouse has a special person to take care of, can not be wrong number, and each warehouse is a long year, long accumulation of grain and grass, air is not circulating, the smell in the warehouse is strong, it is really not suitable to stay for a long time...... Your Excellency, rest assured, this matter is guaranteed to be done properly. ”

Xu Liang was worried about Feng Suqin at home, and he didn't pay much attention to the matter of supervising the grain and grass, coupled with the strategy of Taoguang and raising obscurity mentioned by Huang Wei in the morning, although he felt that Director Liu smiled a little evilly, but thinking that Director Liu had always been Lu Chengyuan's person, more things were better than less, Liu Yuan could take the initiative to take over the work, and he didn't want to do more, so he nodded at the moment and told Liu Yuan to be careful.

Director Liu held the account book and left the errand room happily.
