Chapter 74: A Few Families Rejoice, Some Families Are Sad
In the back house of Zhang's mansion, Zhang Duo sat on the Luohan couch, listening to his brother and son tell him about the process of Tixi enclosure, and did not say a word for a long time. Zhang Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead in shame, looked up at him, and said worriedly: "Big brother? ”
Zhang Yi supported the Luohan couch, struggled to get off the ground, put on the grass shoes, and walked out tremblingly, Zhang Yutong stood up worriedly, and called: "Dad? ”
Zhang Duo didn't seem to hear them, and went out of the door tremblingly, taking heavy steps and walking forward with difficulty. Along the way, the servants, maids, and all of them already knew that a large piece of the Zhang family's territory in Tixi had been cut off, and seeing the head of the family coming with a calm face, they all bowed and worshipped, and they didn't even dare to breathe a little heavier.
It's like acting in a silent movie, Zhang Duo walked forward slowly, Zhang Yutong and Zhang Yi followed silently, all the way down, and everyone they met bowed down one by one. Finally, Zhang Fatzi came to the ancestral shrine of the Zhang family.
The ancestral hall of the Zhang family is like a magnificent palace, the mountain gate, the main hall, the side hall, the apse, the east and west chambers, the bell and drum tower, the stele corridor ......, step by step along the steps of the blue strip stone, through the mountain gate that is opened by the three wide holes of the house character, and slowly come to the main hall.
The main hall is wide and deep, three rooms each, hard mountain top, four to the grid beam type beam frame, lift the beam gently, the front eaves look out, the screen in front of the hall is finely carved, Ling is picky and thorough, ingenious and heavenly, Zhang Fatzi slowly walks in, the ever-bright lamp that has been burning for more than 500 years is still shining brightly.
The family members of the Zhang Mansion who took care of the ancestral hall saw Zhang Fatzi come in with a sad expression, and they knelt down one after another, kowtowed, and then quietly retreated. Zhang Duo knelt on the futon, knocked his head three times, and suddenly burst into tears. As soon as Zhang Yi and Zhang Yutong saw him kneeling, they also knelt down, listening to his grief crying, and the two couldn't help but cry.
Zhang Duo blamed himself, kowtowed in front of the ancestral throne and pleaded for guilt, and cried for a long time before he cried and said: "Zhang Duo, who is not a descendant, can't keep the scenery of his ancestors, can't expand his territory, but loses his land and people, which humiliates his ancestors, and he really has no shame to continue to be the head of the Zhang family." Today, I plead in front of my ancestors, and I am willing to pass on the position of the head of the family to my son Yutong......"
Zhang Yutong was shocked, and hurriedly kowtowed and persuaded: "Absolutely not!" Father, what is the small frustration, what a shame and humiliation Goujian suffered back then, but he has been gathering for ten years and learning lessons for ten years, after all, he is ashamed! My son is willing to work with his father to revive the Zhang family, but if I am sorry for my Zhang family, sooner or later they will have to pay the price of blood! ”
Zhang Fatzi said sadly: "As a father who is incompetent, how can he be cheeky to continue to serve as the head of the Zhang family, son, this heavy responsibility will be borne by you." ”
Zhang Yutong was willing to agree, he kowtowed hard, his forehead hit the blue brick floor, and his flesh and blood were blurred. Zhang Yi also persuaded on the side, the two persuaded for a long time, Zhang Fatzi saw that his son insisted on not reluctant, he was exhausted from this toss, and he really couldn't say it anymore, so he had to sigh and give up.
Zhang Yi and Zhang Yutong helped Zhang Fatzi, who was full of tears, to slowly walk out of the ancestral hall, and saw that the imperial dragon outside the ancestral temple was already waiting there. ”
Zhang Duo waved his hand tiredly and said, "Let's talk about it when we go back." ”
Yulong followed Zhang Duo step by step, and when he arrived at the bedroom of the back house, Zhang Duo boarded the couch, moved his fat body to the couch, lay down and gasped for a long time, and then said, "What's the matter?" ”
Yulong sat on the brocade pier in front of the couch and said in a low voice: "The Guiyang Mansion sent a letter, saying that the imperial court knows that I have eight mountains, one water and one field in Guizhou, and the mountain roads are steep and poisonous, and the scholars and merchants are going from Guizhou to Huguang, Wuchang or Kunming, Yunnan, and it will take three or two months at every turn, let alone Jinggi, so I have the intention to gradually improve the roads in Guizhou."
This year, the imperial court allocated a sum of money, ready to be used for the construction of roads between the state capitals, and at present, the Guiyang Political Secretary intends to choose a place between Shiqian Mansion or our Tongren Mansion to allocate funds to build roads, so I specially sent a letter to consult your lordship. ”
The so-called consultation is actually to ask the local prefect to write a letter to the local government, detailing the need for the urgent need to improve transportation in the area. The main arteries of Tongren and Shiqian are waterways, and almost ninety percent of Shiqian's traffic is by waterway, and only the people who do not carry heavy objects will enter and exit through the steep mountain roads.
Tongren is the same, Tongren is located in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to the hilly area of Xiangxi transition slope area, the rivers in the territory are vertical and horizontal, the waterways are staggered, since ancient times, long-distance contact and trafficking, is to rely on the Wujiang River, Jinjiang River, Wuyang River, Songtao River and other rivers that can be navigated, and there are very few post roads, side roads, and avenues on land. Once it is necessary to pass by mountain roads, it is extremely difficult for carriages and horses to pass through guò, and most areas have to rely on porters to carry them on their shoulders.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wuxi rebelled, and the imperial court once sent troops to suppress it, but the army arrived in Tongren, because the mountains and rivers were deep, the boats and boats could not cross, and they could not continue to move along the waterway. I wanted to take the dry road, but because of the rugged mountain road, I really couldn't provide the army with guò, so I was trapped in the same place, and my baggage was exhausted, and finally I was wiped out.
Since the Han Dynasty, the imperial court and the local government have built many roads, but they are only an improvement compared to the previous treacherous environment, and the traffic is far from smooth.
This time, the imperial court allocated funds to build the road, if the Tongren Mansion can be won over, it is of course an excellent thing for Tongren, not only after the road is built, it can revitalize the local economy, but also in the process of road construction, it can also greatly stimulate the local economic development.
However, when Zhang Duo listened to Yulong's words, he suddenly thought of the sentence given to him by Changfeng Zhenren before: "The fate of the prisoner is too old, and it is not appropriate to break the ground!" ”
Zhang Duo suddenly sat up and said softly, "Ah", and felt remorse in his heart: No wonder God didn't help me, so that I suffered a big loss when I was enclosing the land, and my son and brother said that Shan Miao had never moved his hands and feet, it turned out that I violated the will of heaven and moved the soil! ”
Zhang Duo muttered to himself contriguously: "How did I forget! How could I have forgotten! I forgot about such an important event! ”
Zhang Yutong and Zhang Yi looked at each other, not knowing what he had forgotten, and Yulong was also at a loss
Zhang Fatzi finally figured it out, not because he was too incompetent, but because he neglected the prompts of the Changfeng Daoist and went against the sky, so he was punished by God.
Zhang Duo immediately said categorically: "The access paths in and out of Shiqian Mansion are all waterways, which are even more unbearable than my Tongren, so we don't want to fight with Shiqian Mansion in this matter." ”
Yulong was stunned for a moment, and said busily: "My lord, once the road is built, a lot of stone, timber and labor will be needed, which can revitalize my Tongren economy!" Once the road is completed, it will be of great benefit to my Tongren, and those Tusi who have not yet left Tongren Mansion are all overjoyed when they hear about this, how can we give this great opportunity to others! ”
Zhang Duo shook his head and said: "Yulong, you don't understand, this matter, we Tongren can't fight with each other, let it be given to Shiqian Mansion." ”
Before the dragon could be said more, Zhang Duo had already closed his eyes and said impatiently: "It's decided!" The old man is tired, you step down! ”
Yulong stood in front of the couch for a long time, until Zhang Yutong quietly handed over a look, then he stomped his feet hatefully and sighed away.
At this time, there were still a few wait-and-see Tusi in Tongren Mansion who did not leave, and they were very dissatisfied after hearing the news, and immediately rushed to see Zhang Duo, Zhang Yi was annoyed that they had previously protected their lives, and they didn't see them, so he only let Zhang Yutong go out and answer correctly: "This mansion is uncomfortable, don't see it!" ”
The Tusi had no choice but to leave Tongren angrily, and along the way, they fought for Zhang Duo all the way, and spread the news that the opportunity for the imperial court to build an official road was given to Shiqian Mansion, and for a time the officials and gentry and the people everywhere were very angry.
Zhang Fatzi is the shepherd of Tongren Mansion and is supposed to fight for the benefits of the place. Now he has given up a great good thing to Shiqian Mansion, how can the people of the gentry of Tongren be satisfied, so the dissatisfaction of the gentry of Tongren with Zhang Fatzi has developed to the extreme.
But Zhang Fatzi didn't notice this, maybe because he was immersed in the grief and anger of ceding a large territory, or maybe because he had done such things occasionally in the past, and others dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. But he forgot that when several things are stacked together, the cumulative effect can be very different.
Just because of Changfeng Daoren's sentence of "it is not suitable to break ground", Zhang Fatzi once again made a wrong choice and lowered his prestige and authority to the freezing point!

Terraces everywhere. The stilted buildings are hidden in the dense mountain forest, and it has reached the time of the valley yellow, and the scenery in the fields is beautiful. The terraced rice fields are yellow or green, the distance is the rolling mountains, and at the foot of the mountain there is a red rock canyon, a red red sandwiched between a clear blue ribbon of river water drifting away, sweeping away the impetuousness in people's hearts.
This is the territory of Guo Jialing, a big leader under the command of the Yu family.
A hunting costume outlines a beautiful and moving body curve for Yu Junting, she used to be either men's or soft women's clothing, and now the hunting costume not only makes her reveal a bit of heroism, but also the bright female face and graceful body curves make it easier for people to possess and conquer.
At least, Ye Xiaotian, who was walking behind Yu Junting at this time, had his eyes on her body shyly. The mountain road is narrow, and there is only such a narrow road in the bushes that is not like a road, Ye Xiaotian can't walk side by side with her, so he can only walk behind her who is familiar with the mountain road here.
Yu Junting pulled the flowers and trees, swaying away, Ye Xiaotian's eyes were always focused on her round and plump place. There is a shallow, thin, crumbling little waist connected to the round and plump place, which looks particularly textured, Ye Xiaotian couldn't stop, and the back of his hand touched it slightly, and the feeling of bouncing and plumpness still reverberates in his heart.
"Ouch!" Ye Xiaotian was too focused, and the branch that Yu Junting had pulled back bounced back, almost pumping on his eyes, and hurriedly dodged, but it was on his cheeks. Yu Junting glanced back at him, smiling: "Don't you look at the road?" ”
Ye Xiaotian's face turned red and he pretended to be puzzled. In front of him, a bush was removed, and the view suddenly opened up, this is a cliff, from which the world can be seen. Ye Xiaotian walked to Yu Junting's side, and couldn't help but be stunned by such a beautiful natural scenery.
The white clouds at the feet, a cloud finch suddenly flew obliquely against the cliff wall, the refreshing autumn breeze passed, a few yellow leaves fluttered and flew lightly towards the cliff, as if to chase the lark. In the clear blue sky, the blue sky struggled to tear through the snow-white clouds and present it in front of them as blue as the deep sea.
"Let's go, let's go sit there!"
Yu Junting pointed to a strange rock that poked out of the cliff wall, the strange stone protruded abruptly from the top of the cliff, hanging in the air, and a pine tree grew in the crack of the strange rock, trying to stretch its branches farther. The scenery is beautiful, and the artistic conception is even more beautiful, but to climb there, it also takes guts and courage.
Ye Xiaotian looked at the road, and from there, there was only a narrow road that was arm's wide against the cliff, and people had to hold on to the cliff on the left side to move slowly, and they would fall off the cliff if they stepped on the wrong foot, but fortunately, there was a strange rock sticking out of the cliff in front of them, otherwise the wind was strong, and they really couldn't take the risk.
"I'll do it first!"
Seeing that the road was difficult, Ye Xiaotian took the initiative to rush the road, Yu Junting did not object, she turned sideways lightly and let Ye Xiaotian walk in front. In this way, it was originally Ye Xiaotian who secretly looked at Yu Junting from behind, but now it has become that Yu Junting can peep at Ye Xiaotian without any scruples.
Yu Junting and Governor Zhang have jointly reported the matter to the imperial court, and the chapter naturally beautifies the Geduo tribe as a great achievement of the imperial court and the local education of Tongren.
Yu Junting didn't know when Ye Xiaotian planned to reveal his true identity and in what way, but she already felt urgently that before Ye Xiaotian did these things, the relationship between the two of them would be one step closer, she had already paid a lot, how could she let this man escape from the palm of her hand.
Her eyes stared at Ye Xiaotian, not like Ye Xiaotian's appreciation of the beautiful opposite sex, her eyes were sharp as if a goshawk was staring at a little white rabbit, and she was about to grab it as a prey under its claws! Today, she wanted to do something......
: Yu Jianzhou stretched out his palm as white as jade, opened his five fingers, slowly tightened it, and took out a monthly pass from your pocket...... at the beginning of the month, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass!.
