Early in the morning, Hao Song, the head of the Hou Mansion, got up.

At this time, it was ten o'clock in the morning, and most of the old man had not yet gotten up, Hao Song beckoned the people in the Hou Mansion to prepare to serve, asked the room to prepare early morning pastries and tea, and then slowly arrived at the gatehouse.

The porter is one of Hao Song's biggest errands, he nodded to the porter, and then the porter opened the middle door and the side door.

As soon as the heavy gate opened, the sedan car outside fell into view.

Countless well-behaved subordinates, one by one brightly dressed, lined up here with famous thorns. Hao Song took the name thorns one by one, and then respectfully invited the guests in.

The guests came out of the carriages and sedan chairs outside, and were arranged in a hall, which occupied a large area, and the people of the Hou Mansion shuttled through with tea and pastries, and invited everyone to eat tea.

Occasionally, there will be a few coughs or whispered pleasantries, and the people who can sit here are either rich or expensive, and none of them are fuel-efficient lamps.

Immediately afterwards, someone began to sing: "My Hou Ye has woken up, and after washing, he has been in the study, is Master Li of Qinghua Mansion available?" My lord is invited. ”

Then he saw a fat man in fine clothes get up, be guided by the servant, and lead him to the study.

No matter who he sees, Hao Zheng is so amiable, no matter whether the person who came has dealt with him before or not, even if he is already a marquis, Hao Zheng will not have that arrogant look.

He is different from those brainless scholars, he is not from the army, he does not have that kind of Qiu Baqi, and he has long learned to deal with all kinds of people in Songjiang Mansion. I couldn't be more familiar with the rules of interacting with people.

Moreover, he is extremely patient, and when he talks to people, he always keeps his eyes on them. In addition to politeness, the tone is also a little sincere, which makes many people flattered, even if the other party has something to ask for, Hao Zheng will try his best to agree, if it is really difficult, he will definitely say the difficulty. Be modest and courteous, and never embarrassing.

As a result, the name of the Marquis of Luzhou is quite famous in Annan and Guangxi. is different from the Marquis of Haiphong, when the Marquis of Haiphong is mentioned, everyone can't help but think of this guy's fierceness in quelling the rebellion against Annan, and they will think of the wealth. It will make people awe. But this Luzhou Marquis has a sense of closeness. But anyone who has seen him can't help but praise people, and Corporal Lixian is like the Marquis of Luzhou, which is really rare.

Therefore, this Master Li of Qinghua Mansion and Hou of Luzhou were surprisingly relaxed when they met, and they had heard of the name for a long time, and now they saw that Hou Ye was so kind, and most of the tension and vigilance in his heart were relaxed.

This person's name is Li Hong, and he listened to the guidance of others and specially rushed from Qinghua Mansion. After a few words of greeting, Hao Zheng said with a smile: "Qinghua Chen Confucian." I have a very good relationship with him, he once mentioned you, saying that the Li family is a Qinghua family, a family of filial piety, Ben Hou has long hoped to meet you, but he has not been able to pull away......"

Li Hong was sincerely frightened when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "There is Lao Hou Ye to worry about, and the Li family is ...... than the other."

Hao Zheng frowned slightly, waved his hand to prevent him from continuing, and said in a somewhat positive tone: "What kind of words are these, gentlemen intersect, what kind of family background?" ”

Li Hong was ashamed. Immediately afterwards, Hao Zheng talked about some things about Qinghua with a smile, and by the way, he mentioned the Wudou Bridge in Qinghua Mansion, and couldn't help but sigh: "The family of goodness should be like this." ”

Li Hong's face suddenly turned red, this Wudou Bridge is now the reputation of Qinghua Mansion, but there is also a story here. More than 50 years ago, the Qinghua Mansion drought, the Qinghua gentry have held a variety of activities to pray for rain, and the Li family is naturally not willing to be left behind, at that time the head of the Li family personally led more than 30 people, to the dry river, said that the river dried up, but the Shangxian could not bear the people to swim across without a bridge, and ordered to build a bridge there, since then the dark clouds have pressed the top, and the heavy rain has poured.

These things are a little weird, and naturally there is a possibility of exaggeration, but they are the capital that the Li family is proud of.

And now, Hao Zheng said this Wudouqiao like a family chatter, which made Li Hong very surprised, because Hao Zheng's greetings were just a scene, which just made him feel a little warm in his heart.

But now, he suddenly realized that this Marquis of Luzhou not only knew everything about Qinghua Mansion, but also attached great importance to his Li family, otherwise how could he care about the matter of the Wudou Bridge? In this way, Li Hong's heart can't help but feel even warmer, and it must be a pleasure to be respected, not to mention that this person is still a high-ranking and powerful figure like the Marquis of Luzhou, not only a vassals of the Ming Dynasty, but also half of the representative figures of the Ming court here.

Li Hong couldn't help laughing and said, "Master Hou praises it." ”

Hao Zheng immediately said: "I just don't know why Brother Li came here?" ”

People asked this question in person, so earnestly, it made Li Hong a little embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "I'm ashamed to say that Li Mou has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, but this time I came to ask Master Hou to save the livelihood of my family." ”

Hao Zheng frowned and said, "You say yes." ”

Li Hong said: "The Li family in Qinghua is also a bit of a reputation, life is still passable, I dare not say that the world is rich, but there are so many acres of fertile land, this year began to plant cotton, Langshan also buys here, the original livelihood is not a problem, but since the local parents Zhang and took office to open taxes, what cotton tax should be higher, the original cotton tax is nothing, but the Jiaozhi transfer envoy set up a card in Qingjiang, saying that where there are ships to escort goods to the Qingjiang River, they also have to pay water money, saying that this is the meaning of the imperial court, Since then, local officials in Thanh Hoa have come to the door again and again...... Hey......"

The artesian official took office, Annan did give birth to many similar things, this Jiaozhi is far away from the emperor after all, plus the parents and officials appointed here are the same match, for them, staying here is not long, if you want to be transferred elsewhere, you must come up with a way, you have to start from the political performance, for the imperial court, the political achievements are nothing more than two, one is to run a school, the other is a tax, the efficiency of running a school is too slow, and when you educate it, maybe the daylily is already cold. And the effect of taxation is significant, so almost all prefectures and counties are comparing, this card, that try their best, change the name, anyway, in their opinion, they are just passers-by, and the local things are nothing more than the capital to report to the imperial court.

When the political achievements come out, you still have to move, if you want to be transferred, how can it be so easy, to put it bluntly, you have to spend silver, without silver, who will look at you? In this wilderness place, even if you really have political achievements, you have to pay attention to it.

Then, you have to have silver, with silver to move up and down, around the officials, yes, the officials here not only have to be greedy for ink, but also have to have political achievements, plus the imperial court has its own hand, many of Annam's specialties have become tribute, in order to honor the Holy Emperor, everyone is indispensable to work together, press the local people to serve, go to the sea to collect pearls, and go up the mountain to dig medicine.

It's not just that the people of Jiaozhi are miserable, even many wealthy families can't bear it, people don't talk to you at all, they all say that local officials often show love for the people, this people are gentry, but his mother's family doesn't treat you as a gentry at all, what can you do?

The problem of the Li family is that they grow cotton, but the local exploitation is too strict, and in fact, not only Thanh Hoa, many prefectures and counties have such problems, and almost all the gentry and wealthy families of Annam have faced such problems, but the severity is different.

Listening to Li Hong's words, Hao Zheng frowned and said: "I have also heard of these things, some local officials are indeed excessive, in fact, as early as half a month ago, the old man had written a book to talk about this matter, but it was just a ......" Hao Zheng shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Jiaozhi is only a remote place in the eyes of the imperial court after all, and it is natural that the imperial court does not care, besides, it is ......" Hao Zheng wanted to speak and stopped, of course he couldn't say that the current court expenses are difficult, and squeezing Jiaozhi, in a sense, is good for the palace and the court, and the palace has received a lot of tribute, The Beijing officials have more ice and charcoal respect, and the local officials take advantage of this wealth, who will pay attention to you?

Moreover, if the imperial court has no silver and raises taxes on Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the officials of Jiangsu and Zhejiang will definitely jump out to oppose it and add money to Jiangxi and Huguang, and the scholars in these two places will definitely make a lot of trouble.

It's just these words, Hao Zheng thought about it for a while, and still felt that he couldn't say it, so he smiled and said: "It's not easy to cure the root cause of this matter, and the old man can only try his best to run, but whether it is effective or not is two words." However, Brother Li's situation, the old man can empathize, this matter, the old man has to take care of it, if not, the old man might as well repair a book, send it to the Qinghua prefect's yamen, explain Brother Li's predicament, and then affirm that the Li family is a virtuous family, I hope they will consider the disposal, want to come to the Qinghua prefect to see the old man's thin face, will let the lower head be more restrained, I don't know what Brother Li thinks? ”

With the arrival of the Hou of Luzhou, things are much easier to do, this is what Li Hong is here for, he was overjoyed, he has not yet proposed, and people took the initiative to help him, which really made him greatly relieved, and he couldn't help but be grateful, and said: "There is Lao Hou Ye, Hou Ye is very gracious......

Hao Zheng straightened his face again and said: "I have already said that you and I are a gentleman's friend, what is this effort?" ”
