Chapter 408: Coming and Not Being Rude
You're here to eat......
When a sentence was spoken, the faces of the bad old men changed slightly, but none of them said a word, bowed down in unison, and said, "I've seen the prince." ”
See, that's the power of interest.
Yang Chuan smiled secretly in his heart, but he looked lazy on his face, and waved his hand lazily and said: "I heard that you came early in the morning, Ben Hou was greedy for a cup last night, so I got up a little late and neglected you, please forgive me." ”
The bad old men hurriedly surrendered their hands: "Don't dare." ”
An old man with a lofty instrument smiled heroically: "The prince of the mansion is young, and he is a hero, it is the time to enjoy the good years, so what's the harm in coveting a few glasses of wine?" I think back then, the old man feasted every day, sang every night, and even the dozen wives and concubines in the room were complaining and begging for mercy. ”
Yang Chuan chuckled lightly and said, "What does the old man mean is that the young don't know the preciousness of the essence, and the old man wants the woman to be sad?" ”
A rogue remark came out, and there was a burst of admiration when it landed.
"Oh, it's really a hero out of a young man, and the prince of the mansion is really a leader."
"It is said that there are beautiful young people in Chang'an City, and there are only three foreign ministers, Ninghou, Champion Hou and Pingyang Hou, and now it seems that even if it is a three-point reputation, Changninghou can monopolize half of it."
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Changning Hou is really my big Han Qilinzi is also ......"
Listening to the crappy and stiff rainbow farts of this group of bad old men coming one after another, Yang Chuan laughed and said, "You old people are not ashamed, this is to teach bad Benhou."
However, Ben Hou listened to it and looked at it.
That person, Sima Qian, didn't give an order to the kitchen, so he said that Ben Hou wanted to invite guests to dinner and let him make a few hard dishes. ”
Sima Qian had no choice but to answer and go to the kitchen.
"Say, all the fathers and elders have come to my Taishou Mansion, but what does it matter?"
Yang Chuan put on a posture of being a gentleman and evil, lay back loosely, and asked casually.
The bad old men looked at each other.
One of the old men stepped forward and smiled before saying a word: "Hahaha, I have long heard that the young man of Changning Hou is handsome, his talent is unparalleled, and he has a lot of compassion for the people under his rule, so we old bad men dare to come to the door with a cheeky face, and only ask Changning Hou to forgive me for our previous rudeness." ”
Yang Chuan chuckled: "We haven't met, why is it rude?" ”
The old man shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "It's rude because we haven't met." ”
Yang Chuan let out an 'oh' sound, noncommittal.
The old man continued: "The Marquis of Changning didn't know, when the Taishou Mansion issued the Juntian Decree before, we had actually read the Juntian document, and everyone felt that this move was a little inappropriate, so they deliberately pretended not to know and never came to the Taishou Mansion to ask for advice in person.
Clinker, wait until the Marquis of Changning explains the details of the Juntian Order, we will know how much mistake we have made, and now we want to come...... Alas, there is no place for self-shame, no place for self-shame! ”
As he spoke, the old man beat his chest and paused, looking like he couldn't regret it.
Correspondingly, the other two hundred or so bad old men had sad faces, shaking their heads and sighing, it's just that!
It's just an explosion of acting.
Why, sure enough, it's still good as the ancients said, this person, the longer you live, the more difficult it is to deal with, there is an old saying, what is called 'old and not dying is a thief'.
Look, aren't all these bad old men old thieves?
The bad old man is very bad, Ben Hou Xin is a ghost!
Yang Chuan slowly sat up straight, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, isn't it just for some money and grain, so okay, you will report the number of acres of land you own, and Benhou will let people register it, and then ask the Taishou Mansion to send you the compensation money and grain......"
The group of bad old men shook their heads in unison: "Marquis Changning, you have to be so troublesome. ”
Yang Chuan pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Why?" ”
A bad old man who didn't deserve to have a name twisted his beard and smiled, and said: "The fields are just things outside the body for us, but in fact, they are just some floating wealth, and if the year is bad, maybe we won't even be able to collect the seeds......
The old man was about to continue, but another old man interrupted him and said straight to the point: "Changning Hou is a straightforward person, don't go around the bend here, it's embarrassing." ”
"Marquis Changning, let's put it this way, we can give out the excess land, but don't be too much to compensate for the money and grain of the mansion, but I want to ask you Marquis Changning for one thing, can you convert those money and grain into titles......
And so it was.
Yang Chuan suddenly sighed, completely lay down on Ma Zazi, and said weakly: "Ben Hou's words are too early, and your words are too late." ”
The bad old men were taken aback and quickly asked what had happened.
Yang Chuan said quietly: "As the saying goes, for the official for one term, for the benefit of one party, Ben Hou originally wanted to do something good for our Longxi County fathers, therefore, there is the so-called Juntian Order, which is nothing more than to let the people of Longxi County have a few acres of arable land, so that the big dogs in the eyes of our people can also have a good income;
Unexpectedly, this matter was revealed by which dog day, so that the imperial court knew about it in advance, Prime Minister Sun Hong, Yushi Dafu Erkuan and others actually made a hindrance from it, and let His Majesty reprimand Ben Hou for a good time.
It's good now.
The emperor let Ben Hou cause his own bad things, and he tried to calm it down, and the civil and military officials in the court, the resistance was too great, Ben Hou thought about it, and finally felt that it was a matter of begging, this rotten thing, Ben Hou didn't do it anymore! ”
The old men looked at each other.
It was only two or three days before things changed.
But.
What is annoying is that the big dogs who took the initiative to come to the Taishou Mansion to make trouble, and the titles that people exchanged for good land and land have really gotten their hands on.
Although those people don't have much land, and the most is only more than 2,000 acres of middle and upper land, the titles that people are exchanging now are real lords!
In the Han Empire, it was basically impossible for a civil lord to be promoted to a prince, unless, like Yang Chuan, he could make horseshoes, pot helmets, fodder for Yulin Army's war horses, waterwheels, and water mills in one go......
Seeing the dejected and dejected appearance of the bad old men, Yang Chuan felt a dark feeling in his heart.
These old thieves are no different from the likes of Gongsun Hong in the court.
Even, because these people surnamed Li in Longxi have been operating for hundreds of years, in this vast land, if a group of local emperors, even if they are local officials appointed by the imperial court, people may not be able to take it seriously, no matter what, just the tens of thousands of troops and militia controlled by these guys can make the imperial court have to give three points.
It is precisely because of this that the imperial court's jealousy and defensiveness towards the Li family are very obscure and resolute.
For example, the reason why Li Guang is difficult to seal the marquis is that the unlucky guy himself is not angry.
On the other hand.
The imperial court's deliberate targeting and suppression of the Li clan in Longxi is also real, you have a lot of land and a lot of grain, and you still have a large number of hidden and unreported private soldiers in your hands, right?
That's good, the title of the imperial court will not be given to you.
As far as Yang Chuan knows, only in the Wen and Jing dynasties, the people in the three auxiliary places of Guanzhong will be 'knighted' by Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing at every turn, which is why Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing are good emperors and Liu Che is a big; But at the same time, in Longxi County, there are not so many good things coming, and many people from big dogs will give you stagnant before the tenth-order left chief.
The Han Dynasty and the Qin system, the military lord system is basically the same, it is nothing more than a first-class official, two are made, three hairpins are made, and four are not more.
These first four rank titles, also known as Shi Jue, belong to the lowest level of existence among the people, and the people of Guanzhong can generally obtain these titles as long as they have a certain amount of land, no crime, son-in-law, business and other 'criminal records'.
Among the people, the five doctors, the six official doctors, the seven public doctors, the eight public doctors, and the ninety-five doctors, also known as the 'big doctors', and so on, if the people are higher in the middle rank, they can generally be obtained by someone in the family who has made meritorious contributions on the battlefield.
As for the 10th level left chief, 11th right chief, 12th left watch, 13th middle watch, 14th right watch, 15th Shao Shangzao, 16 Da Shangzao, 17 chariot Chang, 18 Da Chang, 19 Guan Neihou, 20 Che Hou......
If the common people want to obtain these high titles, unless they have made outstanding achievements, they should wash and sleep.
No way.
Especially the Li clan in Longxi, if you want to go one step further and promote the young man in your clan to a knighthood, unless you go to the battlefield and fight bravely to kill the enemy, exchange it with the enemy's blood and head.
This is also a common problem in the six counties of the Northland.
Therefore, there are a lot of good families in these places, whether it is the border soldiers or the Northern Army, the Yulin Army, the number of young men in Longxi County is often very large, it is nothing more than to want to win a military merit, glorify the lintel, and improve the living situation......
If you want to get ahead, you have to take out money, food, and land...... Ahem, just show sincerity.
This is what Liu Che means, and it is also what Yang Chuan means.
"Marquis Changning, can you go to the imperial court and re-survey the acres of land in our Longxi County, or ...... Why don't you give us a chance? An old man said almost pleadingly.
"Yes, Marquis Changning, please have mercy on me and wait, after the matter is completed, it will be rewarded!" Another old man said.
At the beginning, Yang Chuan was naturally unmoved, his brows were tightly locked, as if he was thinking about something, and from time to time, he had to look up to the sky and sigh a few times, which was very difficult to see.
Immediately afterwards, when an old man took out a scroll of things from his arms and stuffed them into Yang Chuan's hands without saying anything, Yang Chuan's interest finally came.
Tell me earlier.
The promotion of the civil lord to the lord of the king, such a big thing, you have to add money!
As a result, an almost semi-public bribery was openly carried out under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes.
Yang Chuan inspected the things handed over by the bad old man one by one, and praised them uncontrollably: "Oh, this piece of bronze tripod shape is old, the shape is peculiar, look at the cat face on it, it can be carved lifelike, vivid, it should be worth a lot of money, right?" ”
"That's embarrassing."
"Hey, this brick looks golden, shiny, golden, smooth, tsk, more beautiful than gold."
"This pair of sheep fat jade carvings is good, in Chang'an City, at least 30 acres of a house can be bought, you look at this carving, look at the texture of this jade, well, quite improvised, quite improvised......"
“……”
After some praise, Yang Chuan's delicate face clearly wrote a huge word 'greed', and if the smile lines at the corners of his eyes and mouth were counted, he could barely make up a complete word 'greed'.
The old men laughed.
It is said that money makes ghosts grind, a young man who is just eighteen years old, young and vigorous, but his loopholes are also very obvious, that is, he is greedy for beauty, likes gold, silver, yellow and white things, Hugh sees him as a marquis of the Han Dynasty, a relative of the emperor, but under the lure of this large pile of priceless wealth, not indulging in it, that is called a strange thing!
A group of bad old men secretly glanced at each other, and everyone's faces showed a trace of undetectable disdain and contempt, but they still pretended to be respectful and old-fashioned, which made Yang Chuan, who was 'appreciating literature and playing' on the side, amused for a while.
That's it?
And then.
There is no then.
Yang Chuan spent a full hour appreciating two or three hundred valuable 'antique cultural relics', and gradually, the wave on his face disappeared.
Instead, there was an indescribable sense of loss, sighing: "Everyone says that immortals are good, but fame and fortune can't be forgotten." ”
"Fathers."
"These yellow and white things, in general, are also very precious, if they are placed in some shops in Chang'an City, they can be exchanged for a lot of houses, tickets, cars and frames, even if they are as extravagant as me, they can almost cost a year and a half......
As soon as these words came out, those bad old men were a little confused.
At the same time, everyone's eyes also showed a slight trace of anger; Yang Chuan didn't have to guess to know what these bad old men were thinking.
They are nothing more than slander in their hearts, what a big breath, so many valuable things, even some three princes and nine kings who are not strong enough may not be able to get it, but it is still the cost of your Changning Hou for a year and a half?
You just blow it!
Yang Chuan didn't bother to listen to these bad old men's beep anymore, but just turned his head sideways and instructed Zhang Tang and the others: "Come on, carry a few boxes of Ah Blockage, it can be regarded as Benhou's meeting gift to all the fathers and elders today." ”
Zhang Tang, Sima Qian, and Dongfang Shuo bowed down to receive the order and strode away.
After a cup of tea, just as the bad old men began to feel impatient and were about to speak, they saw several teams of soldiers carrying twenty or thirty large boxes of red lacquer coming up.
After a dull loud noise, twenty or thirty heavy boxes fell to the ground, shaking everyone's feet slightly, and at a glance, it was clear that the contents of these boxes must be extremely heavy.
"This is Benhou's pocket money for the last two months."
Yang Chuan slowly stood up, moved his muscles and bones, and yawned loudly: "Come and don't be rude, your fathers and elders send Ben Hou a bunch of old peaches, Ben Hou can only send dozens of boxes of Ah Blockage to the fathers and elders, it is not a tribute, don't push it back." ”
After speaking, he patted his ass and walked away.
In the distance, there was a chuckle, and I heard him say: "Ben Hou is going to have a banquet for Dong Zhongshu's group of scholars tonight, if you don't dislike it, don't rush back tonight, stay and eat and drink." ”
"Benhou promises, it tastes great......"
