Chapter 94: Father's Kindness and Son's Filial Piety
Tan Zhong: ...... He also wanted to let go and say that he would keep up, but this matter was not small, and he had to ask Zhao Zhongyu first.
Zhao Song was disappointed when he saw this, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go to the next place." ”
Soon, the good news spread in the field, the farmers in the field were as happy as the New Year, and when they saw Zhao Song and Zhao Hanzhang from a distance, they knelt down and kowtowed to thank them, and the farmers who were also members of the Zhao clan waved to them excitedly, and when they saw it, they raised their hands and gave them a deep look.
Zhao Song mostly sat on the ox cart and accepted it, but when he met some clansmen, he would let Zhao Hanzhang return the salute solemnly, "The seniority is higher than you, even if the family is poor, you can't accept the gift, the young and the old are orderly, and you can't mess up." ”
Zhao Hanzhang responded one by one.
They had a lot of land, and for most of the day they only took a few pieces of land near the dock fort.
The fields of the two families are similar, and the situation is similar, but when they go to the fields to see the harvest, the atmosphere on both sides is different.
The tenants and clansmen on one side greeted Zhao Hanzhang happily, while the other side looked at them dullly, full of envy.
The pressure in Tan Center was even greater, when he came, Lord Lang only said that he wanted to take back the property, and when the time came, he chose the head of the village and the steward to take care of it, and he expected that the fifth master would not object, but he didn't expect things to be so unsmooth.
Tan Zhong's intuition is not quite right, although Xiping has always been the agent of the fifth master, but he also listens to the patriarch's actions, and with his temperament, he should not oppose the patriarch.
Tan Zhong couldn't help but glance at Zhao Hanzhang, who was riding a horse and walking in front.
When he got home, the smile on Zhao Song's face fell, he stopped and looked back, and when he saw his son walking slowly, he snorted: "See?" If the property is handed over to these staff, the master will not be able to do anything, and the road can still communicate now, but if there are wars and accidents in the future, and the connection is cut off, will the clan side do nothing and wait for the order of the patriarch? ”
Zhao Song said with a calm face: "People's hearts are lost, look at what stinky chess he played?" ”
Zhao Ming didn't think of this, he said worriedly: "Father, if Ji Yuan is here today, do you think this problem is still a problem?" ”
"The patriarch will send Tan Zhong, it must be because Tan Zhong is a very useful staff member by his side, but he is more resourceful and less decisive, the patriarch stays by his side, and the situation is worrying," Zhao Ming frowned, "And Sanniang can snatch Ji Yuan from the patriarch, it can be seen that her resourcefulness and determination, what you should be worried about now is the dispute between the chief of the clan and the second room, mediate their contradictions, instead of standing on Sanniang's side, which will intensify the contradiction between the two houses, and the suspicion of provoking the relationship between the patriarch and the clan." ”
Zhao Song's eyes widened in shock, and his fingers pointed at him with a slight tremble: "You, you say I sow discord?" ”
"Father, you may not mean it, because you can't think of it, but that's what you did."
Zhao Song was furious and looked around for a stick, "You, you still call me stupid." ”
Zhao Ming saw that his father snatched the bullwhip in the hands of his subordinates, he turned around and ran first, and after running more than a dozen steps, he turned around and shouted, "Father, loyalty is good for the ears, and the son is also for the good of the clan, you can calm down and think about it." ”
"For the sake of filial piety, my son avoids you first, otherwise it will not be good for you to be angry; But if you break your son, you will also be sad, and it will not be good for you......"
Zhao Song chased a few steps, and when he saw that he was gone, he was so angry that he turned around in place, and the housekeeper hurriedly comforted him and helped him back to the lobby.
Zhao Song huffed angrily, "Am I sowing discord?" Is it better to follow Zhao Zhongyu? He is only a few years old, and he has been in charge of the clan for a few years, so he dares to point out his old son. ”
"Yes, yes, it's all Lang Jun's fault, Lord Lang, don't be angry, it's not worth it if you're angry."
Zhao Ming ran out, not knowing where to go for a while, he thought about it and said, "Go to the main house." ”
Chang Sui was very puzzled, "Lang Jun, you just said bad things about Sanniang, and at this time you went to the main house again, aren't you afraid of quarreling?" ”
"I said bad things in my own door, no matter how powerful she is, I know it now." Zhao Ming said: "Go and see her." ”
Long Sui was puzzled, "Lang Jun doesn't seem to like Sanniang very much." ”
"Wrong, I didn't dislike her," Zhao Ming sighed: "She is too smart, I feel uneasy, today's rent-free thing in the field, she did too well, the timing is too accurate, after today, the clansmen, tenants, and long-term workers in the dock fort will be heartbroken, and the skill of buying people's hearts is comparable to that of an uncle." ”
Zhao Ming was worried, "My father has been working hard for 20 years, and I am afraid that the hearts of people who have been subdued are not as many as hers." ”
Chang Sui didn't believe it, "Sanniang is not familiar with the clansmen, how can she compare to Lord Lang?" ”
"After a long time, the prestige of her today's move will naturally fade, but what if she takes advantage of the victory to pursue it?" Zhao Ming decided to meet Zhao Hanzhang, even if he didn't do anything, just chatted and drank tea.
Just when Zhao Ming went to find Zhao Hanzhang, the matter in the field had already reached the ears of all the households in the dock fort.
They were all clansmen who followed Zhao Changyu to borrow 20% of the rent on credit last year, and when they heard the sensation outside, many people followed suit.
Those who were still a little hesitant saw it, so they could only follow.
Zhao Hu has a lot of fields, and the number of tenants ranks among the top three in the clan, and he scolded and scolded the two percent of the rent, and then asked, "What about Sanniang?" ”
"It's in the main house."
"Let her come to see me, no, I'd better go find her," Zhao Hu got up, "Otherwise, she will definitely find an excuse and dare not come to see me, it is too much to decide on such a big matter as rent-free without consulting the clan." ”
So Zhao Ming and Zhao Hu met at the door of the main house.
Zhao Hanzhang heard that the elders were visiting, so he came out to greet them with a smile, and saw the two of them greeting them very warmly, "Seventh Uncle Ancestor, cousin, are you coming to play with me, please come in." ”
Zhao Hu doesn't like Zhao Ming, compared to the gentle and tolerant Zhao Song, he is more afraid of this serious nephew, and always feels that his eyes are too clear and can see through people's hearts.
Zhao Ming also didn't like Zhao Hu, the clan uncle, and felt that he was disrespectful, unkind, and uneasy for the old, and he would bounce on his bottom line when he had nothing to do, which gave him a headache.
So people who don't like each other meet at the gate of the main house, and they want to turn away from each other.
But Zhao Hanzhang had already gone out to invite each other, and the two of them could only raise their feet to enter the door.
Tan Zhong brought a lot of people here, he asked people to stare at the movement of the main house, and after hearing about it, he sighed faintly, knowing that the purpose of his trip would not be successful.
He could only write to Zhao Zhongyu to report and ask for advice.
But Zhao Hanzhang didn't mention Zhao Zhongyu, nor did she mention the field, she pulled Zhao Hu and asked him curiously what money-making workshops and shops he had.
"This field is very important, but if you want to change it into money, the grain is still a small head, if you want me to see, whether you want to make money or have luxury, I don't know what is the most profitable thing in Runan."
Zhao Hu loved to enjoy all his life, and he was unrestrained, and when he heard this, he felt that he had found a fellow path, and clapped his hands and said: "I have the same thing as Sanniang Hero." ”
