Chapter 33 Three Families and One House
"This is Hangzhou City?"
Chen Fengxiu looked around curiously as he walked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It's really extraordinary, it's much bigger than the city I've seen before, and the streets are clean, especially this spirit, which is quite good!"
After so many days of teaching, Wang Anshi and Ning Caichen's books have also been read by him from time to time, and now his words have a bit of a reader's taste.
In this regard, there is the deliberate cultivation of Wang Anshi and the two of them, as well as Su Huatian's arbitrary indulgence, shaping the three views of the teenager is one thing, but how to live is his own business, and Su Huatian does not interfere in it.
After all, it is a giant city that has long been rich in the name of the magnificent scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, not to mention the tall city wall, because there are few wars, the outer wall is also quite complete, although the soldiers are fierce but lack a battlefield sharpness.
In this regard, Su Huatian, who has been to the Central Plains and has also entered the frontier, has the most right to speak.
Although there should be a lot of drills, and even blood, it is a pity that there is still a lack of courage of a veteran of a hundred battles.
In the inner city, there are many street shops, but they are neatly divided, a general goods area, a food area, a livestock area, and of course, an indispensable pen, ink, paper and inkstone store, which is also faintly opened into a street, and you can see the prosperity of Jiangnan's literary style.
The streets are neat and tidy, and it is clear that they are often cleaned, especially because most of them are paved with flat stone and there is little dust.
The residents are all dressed in good clothes, even if they look embarrassed, but they also show a different atmosphere, and the prosperous appearance can be glimpsed in Hangzhou.
Ning Caichen, who was quite familiar with this place, began to tell everyone what he knew about the situation in Hangzhou.
"If you can become famous or start a career in Hangzhou, then you will really take root in the Liangzhejiang region, after all, Hangzhou is different from others, it is the real center of Liangzhejiang, and the history of Liangzhejiang and the governor (military chief) of the Liangzhejiang Assassin and the political governor (military chief) are also here for a long time."
"And there are also many families stationed here and intertwined, since then a huge network has been formed to firmly control the two Zhejiang, and even the government policy needs to be conveyed through their consent, otherwise even if there is a national law, it will be nothing!"
Wang Anshi also said helplessly: "I was extremely surprised by this when I first came here, after all, Jiangxi has a strong Taoist atmosphere, but I have never seen such an arrogant situation. ”
"The families of scholars of all sizes live in Hangzhou, and those who can have the status of a person may not be able to gain a foothold here for a long time, even if the family of the great officials of the dynasty is prosperous and declining, it is often seen in the city of Hangzhou, and the complex situation here is even comparable to the city of Tokyo!"
Ning Caichen and Wang Anshi glanced at each other helplessly.
"Sir, why did Brother An Shi and I go to live in other cities, it is that when we won the position of Xiucai, we suppressed a few children of the family and frequently harassed us, so I was really irritated and left here to hide from Qingqing."
Wang Anshi also nodded: "We were originally going to wait for the township test to end and get the position of lifter, and then we would go directly to Tokyo for the big exam, or sharpen ourselves in Hangzhou for a period of time and then look at the situation and choose, but we didn't expect to meet such a big opportunity as Mr." ”
"What we have met is not a real big family, but it is a family of officials in the court, and the people who really can't be provoked in Hangzhou except for the descendants of a few adults are the three families and one mansion here for a long time!"
"These families even need to be kind to each other and participate in politics, which is simply a copy of the gate valve of the Tang Dynasty!"
Naturally, the family will not be taken to heart by Su Huatian, even in the Great Sui World, he has destroyed several so-called gate valves, not to mention these guys who just rely on power to make a fortune?
However, Chen Fengxiu was quite interested: "Which family and which mansion are the two senior brothers?" ”
"The Bai family controls the weaving business, and sixty percent of the cloth in Jiangnan is related to their family, and they also have salt introductions, and they are even good friends with the court's courtiers, and they have a good background."
Ning Caichen knew a lot of things, and he told this curious junior brother without reservation.
"But the Bai family is very low-key that many people don't know, and I also met one of their sons by accident, which is the most mysterious of the three families and one mansion, many people have only heard of their names, but they don't know what forces they have."
"Then there is the Chen family, this one is almost equal to the hegemony of Hangzhou City, and has always wanted to dominate Hangzhou, all industries are involved, grain, iron, salt, weaving and even as long as they make money, they have all intervened, and even many of the ruffians and hooligans in Hangzhou City are eating at the Chen family."
"However, in recent years, they have begun to march towards the court, and they have attracted many important ministers of the court, but Taoguang has become obscure, but they are the most ruthless in the family, and there are many small families who are attached to them, even if they are assassins and participate in politics, they are also quite afraid of them."
"You should have heard of the last Chai family, when the Great Song Dynasty opened the country, the descendants of the Later Zhou Dynasty were treated favorably by the Great Song Dynasty, it can be said that as long as they do not rebel, there are almost no taboos, and they are also the most unscrupulous family, if the Chen family is just a tyrant in Hangzhou, then the Chai family is almost a tumor in the south of the Yangtze River."
"It's a pity that the royal promise has created their wantonness, restricting their fields but not restricting them from doing business, and it is even more ingenious and robbing, bullying men and women, and the entire Chai family is under the surveillance of the royal family, so it seems more and more arrogant, even if it is a stabbing history, it has to avoid three points, and the law is even more difficult to punish them."
"For the sake of a good reputation, is the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty too much?"
With a slight frown, Chen Fengxiu was puzzled.
"This is the price, not to take the throne with blood, but the price of Chan! Especially at that time, many of the old ministers of the Chai family dynasty were still alive, and for their peace of mind, the Chai family could not die. ”
Wang Anshi explained that now he has enough vision to look at these secrets of the past.
"For the sake of stability and reputation, the Great Song Dynasty must take care of the current Chai family, and the Chai family is just stimulating the royal family, the more so, the more the royal family can't make a move, since the reputation has to continue, but in fact, many things are not so difficult to solve..."
seemed to have an idea, but Wang Anshi did not continue.
Chen Fengxiu didn't mean to ask any more, but looked at Ning Caichen: "Then, where is the so-called Yifu?" ”
"The only place in the south of the Yangtze River where there are veterans of a hundred battles, Qiu Wangfu!"
"The name of the king of Qiu is Qiu Tianfang, and he is a famous general, but after the first emperor asked for the removal of military power, he was decisive, and soon took off his military uniform and asked for the fief in Jiangnan until now."
"In order to show his favor, the first emperor bestowed the most acres of land, and the title was hereditary, and he was allowed to have a personal guard of five hundred people."
Ning Caichen said: "If you can't mess with it, the Qiu Wangfu is the first in Hangzhou City, after all, what kind of soldiers are the Qiu Wangfu?" Even the Chai family was very jealous and didn't dare to provoke them casually. ”
Su Huatian thought about it, this Hangzhou city is really interesting, and as soon as he entered this place, he felt a few spiritual lights hidden, and there were all the immortals and immortals, and he thought that something big would happen in the near future when he came here.
At that moment, on the other side of the road, a young man saw them, and his eyes lit up and he walked over...
