Chapter 37: Waves
The two Qincha sat down, Xu Boyi high-fived three times, and the hall immediately quieted down. Xu Boyi said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, this county has been reclaimed for more than five years, and the management of household registration has been relatively chaotic. ”
Xu Boyi's eyes swept over everyone, and said: "Although the officials of this county have the responsibility of neglecting their duties, they are not without other reasons. The use of the names and surnames of the various ethnic groups is too chaotic and arbitrary, and there is no regularity, which is also an important reason. ”
When he said this, Master Wang's face immediately sank. Dereliction of duty? Who is said to be negligent in their duties? In the past five years, he has been the master of Huxian County, and most of the time the household department is under his control, Xu Boyi has excluded him from the book in order to monopolize the credit this time, which has made him unhappy, and now he still wants to use him as a stepping stone, how can the king master book endure.
The king's face was blue, and he gritted his teeth and sneered secretly: "Trees rely on people to cultivate, and people rely on self-cultivation." Xu Boyi, before you climb the high branches, you are already empty-eyed, you don't cultivate any personal morality, and you are not afraid that if you step on the wrong foot and no one will follow, you bastard! ”
Xu Boyi was in high spirits and continued: "The name and surname are your own, but it can be used by others, a good-sounding, easy-to-remember, catchy name is easier for people to remember you." And the father and son have the same surname, which can also make you remember your ancestors and let your descendants remember you. Isn't this the meaning of a person's name and the shadow of a tree? ”
Xu Boyi is still in the vernacular, which is easy to understand. Seeing that no one in the audience refuted, Xu Boyi said with satisfaction: "Next, we have invited the lord of Gaozhai, the lord of Li Zhai and the ten elders of the two villages to come out and take the lead in changing their names and surnames.
Ladies and gentlemen, the owners of Gaoli and Li Zhai use the name of the Han family, which can be an example for the people. Of course, they don't have to change their names again this time, but. Gao Li two villages as the two largest tribes in our county, there are many villagers of the name and surname is more complicated, confusing and not easy to remember, today Gao Li two village owners and ten elders are on behalf of the whole village people to change the name and surname, and then the county will send the cadres of the household department to the cottage for them to make a register for them. ”
Gao Li and the two village owners glanced at each other and stepped forward together, each followed by five elders. Li Bohao and Gao Ya stood in the crowd and gestured to Luo Daheng from a distance, signaling him to be at ease.
The two masters of Gao and Li, who walked in front of the Qincha seat, suddenly stood up in unison, and said to Xu Boyi in unison: "Xu Xiancheng, about the matter of changing the surname of Yi Customs. Xiaomin thinks that it is not appropriate to make a rash decision on whether to allow Xiaomin and others to discuss with the people in the village again! ”
The smiles on the faces of Lin Shilang and Uncle Li disappeared all of a sudden, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense. Xu Boyi was still calm, but he frowned, and said to the master of Gao and Li: "Didn't the two of you personally promise your official a few days ago that you are willing to respond to the promotion of changing customs, why did you go back on your word?" ”
The lord of Gaozhai said with a sad face: "It's the small people who are reckless, thinking that this matter is very easy." So I agreed, but when I returned to the cottage, there were many people who objected, although the small people were the owners of the village. It's just that everyone trusts and comes out to do something for everyone, how dare you be arbitrary. ”
Lord Li Zhai sighed and said: "The reason for decay is the same as that of Lord Gaozhai, hey! Obviously, it is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people. What's more, the government still has preferential treatment for tax reductions and exemptions, why don't these people refuse to accept it? It's unreasonable! ”
Xu Boyi smiled and said, "Hehe, two village masters." You have no choice but to use this kind of talk to fool others, and it is inevitable that you will be charged with deception in front of the officials. You have also seen the above two, one is the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and the other is a relative of the emperor, the emperor's importance to this matter can be seen, are you not afraid of Long Yan's anger? ”
The two village owners of Gao and Li were silent, and behind the owner of Li Zhai, an old man with a white beard, but tall and strong, and bronzed skin suddenly came out of the crowd, and said angrily: "The two village owners dare not say, the old man, anyway, the old man is alone, and he has no scruples."
The old man, the villain's name and surname are all taken by the parents, how can they change it at will for a little benefit, that is unfilial piety! Xiaomin doesn't understand anything else, but he knows how to put filial piety first. The emperor didn't force us people to be unfilial, don't you say? ”
Uncle Li's face sank like water, and he didn't say a word.
Lin Shilang looked at Xu Boyi, who looked calm, smiled slightly, and replied calmly: "Students are educated, filial piety is the first!" Our dynasty has always been to filial piety to the family, to govern the country with filial piety, the first priority of the court is filial piety, the emperor naturally did not let the people unfilial piety. But ......"
Lin Shilang's tone changed, and he said: "Xu County Chengjin presented to the emperor said that most of the people of all ethnic groups have no fixed surname, or the son takes the father's name as the surname, or the son takes the mother's name as the surname, if the baby is new, the parents refer to the flowers, trees, mountains and stones as their surnames, and there is no fixed number, isn't it?" ”
The old man stiffened his neck and said, "Yes, what? ”
Lin Shilang said: "So, fixing the surname is not unfilial piety, but great filial piety, so that you can inherit the ancestors and descendants." There are four major families in Guizhou, An, Song, Tian and Yang, all of whom are not Han Chinese, don't they all use Han surnames? You have already agreed, and the emperor has sent a messenger to this point, and you will repent, this is a crime of bullying the king! ”
The white-haired old man said angrily: "Master Qincha, what you said is such a reason, but we have to be happy ourselves, right?" In our village, there are many people who are actually unwilling, and the two village owners are not unaware, but they dare not say it? ”
Li Xuancheng couldn't help but ask: "Don't dare to say it, how can you say this?" ”
The white-haired old man said: "The county order of the broken family, the order of the destruction of the door!" Xu Xiancheng is a big man in this county who covers the sky with one hand, that is, the county prince is afraid of letting him seven points, he has always said one, no one dares to say two, the two village owners are afraid of disobeying him and attracting revenge, so they are false and wronged, just to wait for Qin to come to justice for me and other small people. ”
Lin Shilang smiled faintly, and thought to himself: "This old man is just a wild man in the middle of a mountain, full of foul language, he actually knows the allusions of breaking the county order and destroying the door order Yin, and can also say the idiom of hypocrisy and wrongdoing, didn't someone teach him?" ”
After Lin Shilang arrived in Huxian County, although he had only brief contact with the bureaucrats of Huxian County, he had already noticed the deep contradiction between the magistrate and the county magistrate. In Lin Shilang's opinion, if Xu Boyi was not very sure before, he categorically did not dare to mention this in the book of the Son of Heaven.
Although there is no shortage of stupid ministers who dare to write to the Son of Heaven when their minds are hot, and there are such stupid officials who read and read stupidly, and there are many ridiculous things, but judging from the contact in the past two days, this Xu Boyi is shrewd and cunning, and he is obviously not such a nerd.
So, who instigated these mountain people to turn against the water? The Huazhi County who hurried to the post road must be inseparable, what role does Ye Xiaotian play in it? Lin Shilang was groaning and analyzing, and Uncle Li Guo was already furious.
Li Xuancheng sought to get this mission, not to do things for the imperial court, and lacked patience. As soon as he was shocked to hear that the Yingying girl he had been thinking about for a long time had been married to a wife, he had all his thoughts, and when he encountered this kind of thing today, he had a seizure, he slapped the bookcase and said sharply: "It's just unreasonable! Xu Xiancheng, you made such a ridiculous joke, you simply lost the dignity of the court! ”
The king said in a non-yin and non-yang manner: "Changing customs has always been a subtle thing, how can there be a reason to achieve it overnight." As magistrates, we must not be anxious for quick success, otherwise it will inevitably be grandstanding and laughing and generous. ”
Seeing that the Chin Cha is furious, when will he not step on it at this time, ally? And what about the allies. Xu Boyi is not benevolent, he can be unjust, what about being a disciple of the Tian family? There are small hills under the big hills, and there are small hills under the small hills, and the four families of Ansong Tian Yang are just the four small hills under the big mountain of the Ming Dynasty. Speaking of Dali, they are all Ming courtiers, not the same to fight to the death?
Lin Shilang smiled and said: "Uncle Guo is angry, I believe that Xu Xiancheng has his own reason!" ”
Lin Shilang comforted Li Xuancheng, turned to Xu Boyi and said, "Xu Xiancheng, what do you say about today's situation?" If you can't come up with a reason, this official will punish you for the crime of deceiving the king. ”
Xu Boyi bowed down and said, "The two Qincha are angry, there must be some misunderstanding in this. Can the two Qincha go to the small hall to rest first, the lower officials are still affectionate. ”
Li Xuan ignored it, Lin Shilang already stroked his beard and smiled, got up and said, "Okay!" Uncle Guo, let's go to the small hall and sit down and listen to what Xu Xiancheng has to say. ”
Although Ye Xiaotian has been watching coldly, but what is happening now is actually from his planning, seeing that Xu Boyi is not shocked or impatient, and his demeanor is calm, Ye Xiaotian's heart is slightly cold: "Something is wrong, when did Xu Boyi have such a heart-to-heart city that Taishan collapsed in front of him and did not change color, could it be ...... Is he still afraid? ”
The two Qincha turned straight to the small hall, and Xu Boyi ignored the scene of discussion and ear-to-ear, and followed in with a smile.
Lin Shilang and Li Xuancheng sat on the official hat chair in the small hall, Xu Boyi stepped forward and bowed, and said in a deep voice: "The two lords of the Qincha, the lower officials will never be so reckless, they have indeed understood the public opinion in advance, and the people of all ethnic groups are very responsive to the initiative of changing customs......
Li Xuancheng sneered: "Yes, what do you say about today's situation?" ”
Xu Boyi sighed and said calmly: "The two Qincha adults don't know, I wait for these low-ranking officials, want to do something for the imperial court, there are always people who pull back legs, stumble, set up pits, and do things extremely difficult, this time, it is clear that someone is making trouble." ”
Li Xuancheng was stunned, his eyes suddenly lit up, he had already seen that Xu Boyi and Ye Xiaotian were not in harmony, Xu Boyi's words meant something, could it be ......, Li Xuancheng said excitedly: "Xu Xiancheng, don't be afraid, what grievances do you have, although it is said that my uncle and Lin Shilang will be in charge with you!" ”
Xu Boyi shook it to the ground and said loudly: "Thank you, Lord Qincha!" ”
If Xu Boyi wants to do this, the key is whether he can get the support of the people of all ethnic groups, Ye Xiaotian has a close relationship with Gao and Li Liangzhai, how can he do it, he has already prepared a backhand. The reason why he kept making a forgetful appearance was to lure Ye Xiaotian into the sky, he wanted to climb to heaven, and he had to step Ye Xiaotian into hell.
