Chapter 221: It's a fool to take advantage of it, the Zhang family
In the Zhending Mansion, Lin Qianshui felt that he was afraid that he had some tinnitus.
He sat up straight in the accompanying seat, and then looked at the local tyrants and inferior gentry patting Wang Zhen's horses with respectful faces, and subconsciously plucked out his ears.
Xindao: This ...... Is it still those local snakes who bully men and women on weekdays?
On weekdays, these people don't even pay attention to the government, and tax evasion is simply commonplace.
Now it's good that one by one has become a generous public welfare ambassador, and I can't wait to stuff the title deed directly into Wang Zhen's hands.
"The old man is only here for disaster relief, as for the matter of the merit shrine, Lord Lin ...... Tell them about it. ”
Lin Qianshui didn't dare to listen to the minister's order, and said: "Yes, in response to the call of the imperial court to work for relief, Zhending Mansion will build a merit shrine from today, and all the funds donated by you will be used for disaster relief, as for how much you need to donate to erect the monument......"
Then he was a little hesitant, Qin Wei took over, and Lang Sheng said: "One hundred acres!" ”
You are crazy?
Even if these lands were not his, Lin Qianshui couldn't help but stare at them.
Do you know how much grain can be increased every year in 100 acres?
Look, these people are going to scare the hell out of them!
Lin Qianshui is very sure that no fool will take out a real hundred acres of land to buy an illusory name.
Even if the name is really tempting......
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the faces of several squires who were not very strong changed instantly.
One of them relied on his courage and stepped forward and said, "This lord has invited you...... Originally, we are all people from Zhendingfu, and we should help our hometown, but this 100 acres of land is a bit too much, right? ”
A hundred acres of land is a lot, but compared to the 5,000 victims, it is a small thing.
Qin Wei glanced at him lightly, "What's your name?" ”
How? If you don't agree with each other, you will turn your face!
The man's face was a little ugly, but he still endured his anger and said, "Villain Xu Fu." ”
Qin Wei completely ignored the man's face and said with a faint smile: "Do you have relatives and heirs in the family?" ”
The man couldn't figure out Qin Wei's identity, so he had to say honestly: "There are still two sons and one daughter in the family, and three wives and concubines. ”
After the man finished speaking, more than a dozen local lords present stood together in tacit understanding.
This posture is obviously telling Qin Wei.
If you want to use the strong one, we are not afraid of you!
Qin Wei ignored it, just smiled and said, "If only your name is written on a merit tablet, wouldn't it be empty?" …… Can my son go to school in the future? Can you take the imperial examination to study? You have to be born in the imperial examination......"
Four questions in a row, the people present froze in place.
A monument?!
Didn't you name it?
After the shock, everyone was ecstatic, they thought that the Shrine of Merit, that is, an ancestral hall, would build a merit monument with the names of all the donors engraved on it.
Co-authors are not allowed to be heard!
Not a name, but a whole monument.
How much merit does this have to be to have this honor, don't fool people, right?
At this moment, everyone forgot about the so-called donation quota of 100 acres of land, which of the people present is not a famous local rich gentry, 100 acres sounds a lot, but it is a fart for them!
The man's face suddenly showed ecstasy, and he asked in a trembling voice, "You mean...... Not only the name of the villain, but also the heirs of the family can also be included in the inscription?! Isn't that the imperial examination ......?"
Imperial Examination!
Since the Sui and Tang dynasties, the imperial examination system has gradually become formalized.
In the Tang Dynasty, if the literati wanted to enter the office, in addition to the imperial examination, they also had the 'investment bank roll' as an indispensable help on the road to the imperial examination.
The so-called investment bank volume is recommended by officials in the DPRK and China or nobles.
In the Song Dynasty, this rule was abolished, and all students in the world were equal, as long as there were talented and learned people, they could enter the ranks.
But having said that, at that time, those children from poor families want to enter the ranks, and it is not enough to have knowledge, but also to have a background!
There is no background and no background is not a level at all, the court keeps shouting that everyone is equal, but only they know whether they are equal or not.
So it's not just a matter of reputation anymore.
In today's social context, the four big characters of Shinong Industry and Commerce are clearly written on everyone's heads.
Whether you are a squire, a landlord, a magnate, or a businessman, the word 'shi' represents everything, and having the opportunity to join the government is the desire and ambition of many families for generations!
Once his name is written on this inscription, it is invisibly adding a flickering halo to his head.
In case there are children in the family who passed the imperial examination.
Naturally, the imperial court would investigate his background and family history, and then find out...... Hey? This thing is still a good person, and look at another person with the same score as him...... Hey, this one doesn't!
That's a natural advantage!
Thinking of this, everyone present went crazy.
They all looked at Lin Qianshui, and their attitudes were unprecedentedly respectful.
"Adult, villain is willing to donate!"
"The villain is willing too!"
"Five hundred acres! The villain is willing to donate 500 acres! ”
Lin Qianshui's face was a little strange, his eyes were full of confusion, and he said: "You have to be clear, the imperial court will send someone to copy these inscriptions later, and if anyone wants to regret it at that time, they can ......."
The imperial court still has to send someone to transcribe?
Now they are even more excited, just like you wait in line for a long time to buy pancakes, and when you get in line, you find that not only can you buy pancakes, but also give an extra egg......
It is a fool not to take advantage of it.
Whoever repents is a fool!
Then they gave Lin Qianshui a look of disgust, "The villain will never regret it, so go back and get the title deed, don't worry, it's very soon, it won't take long......"
Everything was as expected.
While Qin Wei breathed a sigh of relief, he smiled at them and reminded, "It's only for tomorrow!" After that, no matter how much you donate, it will be useless! After all......"
Those people looked at the young man in front of them and raised their eyebrows at them and said, "There is only a little place in the merit shrine, and there are only a few merit monuments, so you can't rot the street!" ”
Oh, yes!
Scarcity is precious, and people are more merciful because they are old.
This is a face project, and if everyone comes to mix in it, the moisture of this face will become bigger and bigger.
So what's the point of this donation?
Everyone agreed.
……
Wait until those squires and landlords leave happily.
The atmosphere in the government was extremely harmonious.
Lin Qianshui even took the initiative to step forward and poured a cup of tea for the boy in front of him, who was dozens of years younger than himself.
With unconcealed conviction, he praised: "Lord Qin's hand today, Lin is really convinced!" It is a blessing for officials like you to have such talents in the Great Song Dynasty! ”
At this time, someone announced outside: "My lord, Zhangjia and Zhang Changshan of Hengyuan County ask to see you." ”
"What is he here for? Come in, please. ”
Zhangjialin Qianshui in Hengyuan County is no stranger, or as long as it is on the boundary of this Zhending Mansion, whether it is a peddler or a pawn or an official squire, who does not know the Zhang family.
This is a real powerful family.
In the early days of the founding of Taizu, the Zhang family was the first batch of aristocratic families to follow, not only giving the old Zhao family financial help, but even taking the initiative to unite with local forces to claim vassal status to the old Zhao family.
From the dragon's power, this is incomparable to any magnates!
It's just that Lin Qianshui felt that he and Zhang Changshan were just a friendship of meeting and greeting, and there was no deep relationship, so he suddenly came to visit......
"Could it be that he is also here to donate?"
Qin Wei's face finally showed seriousness, looked at the door and said with a smile: "The Zhang family is really powerful, they won't get involved in this kind of invitation to buy a name, I'm afraid they came to Xingshi to ask for guilt." ”
Lin Qianshui nodded, "That old man won't pay attention to him." ”
He glanced at the door with some disgust, and it seemed that the next moment this disgusted look would shoot to Zhang Changshan, who was about to enter the door.
Zhang Changshan is the head of the Zhang family, and he is not too young, his beard is gray, and he looks at it with a goatee.
He strolled in, his momentum was very strong, and there was no stage fright at all, even if he knew that there was still a privy envoy sitting in this palace at this moment, he was still calm.
This is the confidence of the heroes from the dragon.
"I've seen Lin Fuyin."
After the two sides met, Zhang Changshan exchanged a few words, and then said a little coldly: "Dare to ask Lin Fuyin, who proposed this method of cash-for-work?" ”
Lin Qianshui didn't answer, but asked without any emotion: "This is the order of the imperial court, can Zhang Xiannan question it?" ”
Yo?!
It's still a powerful person with a title, which is rare.
In the Great Song Dynasty, there were roughly two kinds of magnates.
One is the meritorious officials, who have few titles, but they are wealthy and hold real power.
There is also a group of people who were knighted at the beginning, although they are far away from the center of power, but they hold various titles, even Zaifu can't dispose of them at will.
Qin Wei felt that the taste was wrong, so his face gradually turned cold.
Lin Qianshui glanced at Wang Zhen on the side, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Zhang Changshan did not miss this look, and he could see Wang Zhen's identity at a glance.
Only then did he bow down, and then saluted: "I saw Wang Xianggong in Xia Zhang Changshan, and I heard that Xianggong was ordered to come to Zhending Mansion for disaster relief, and I felt the emperor's grace in Xia, and I should have come to see him early...... However, the family is riddled with mundane things...... Don't worry about the prime minister. ”
Qin Wei can see that this product is here to find fault.
said that the family is riddled with mundane things, in fact, it is implying that Wang Zhen's group of people have nothing to do.
Okay, what are you doing in cash-for-work?
Even if I want to get you to change places, why do you want to come to my real mansion to be a demon.
Wang Zhen's face was a little cold, but he didn't pay attention to it after saying 'um'.
You are a county man who has no official position and no position, and when you see the prime minister, you don't even pay a salute, and you are sarcastic in a weird way.
According to Wang Zhen's temper, he can sit here well now and not get mad, which is already very face-saving for this Zhang County man.
Seeing that Wang Zhen ignored him, Zhang Changshan's face was a little ugly.
“…… I heard that the imperial court wants to provide relief through work this time, but as far as I know, there are more than 5,000 victims in this Zhending Mansion, and if everyone gets this idea, how much land does this Zhending Mansion have for them to cultivate......"
