510: Got a big belly
The greatest value of a courtier is to be able to share the emperor's worries and solve problems.
Lu Yijian hurriedly untied his clothes and expressed his willingness to give his clothes to Cheng Er's father and son and daughter on behalf of Zhao Zhen.
When the first and second ministers of the court took off their clothes, how dare the ministers behind them not follow closely, and then the ministers rushed to start undressing.
The three members of the Cheng family were dumbfounded, and they didn't dare to move.
Let this group of important ministers put on the robes that still carry body temperature, and then stand still on the spot, not even daring to breathe.
Lu Yijian's eyes were full of evil, "Your Majesty, take someone!" β
Wang Zhen was more radical, "Your Majesty, it's time to raid the house!" β
Even Wang Yaochen, a person who has always been known for his calmness, was furious and scolded in a low voice when he saw the tragic situation of this family of three: "These people should raid their homes and send them all to the southwest!" β
"No, they should be sent to Qiongzhou, let them go over there to bask in the sun and build roads!"
"This is a steamed bun that eats human blood!"
ββ¦β¦β
Warm with hay, wear open-bottomed shoes, and have frostbite on their hands and feet, which look jet-black...... It's no different from zombies.
This is the most intuitive public sentiment, and the monarchs and ministers are angry.
They can tolerate certain factions of officials, competing for a certain interest, and thus resorting to dishonorable means.
But the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty who don't have a table have no bottom line.
Now the miserable situation of the people is not a natural disaster at all, but a man-made cause of Chiguoguo, and these people do not hesitate to use the people's livelihood as a bargaining chip for their own interests.
Shouldn't such people be sanctioned?
After Zhao Zhen looked at Cheng Er's family of three again, he said with a solemn face: "Good life has been settled." β
The attendant next to him saluted respectfully, and then went to make arrangements.
He turned around and said, "Ye Shuangchou." β
Ye Shuangchou had already come, and he followed after hearing the sound.
"Go, take those people."
Ye Shuangchou bowed his head to receive the order and shouted, "Come with so!" β
He walked out first, followed by a group of big men, and his momentum was quite intimidating...... It turned out that Ye Shuangchou went to get people, and the group of officials could also be blinded.
After returning to the palace, Zhao Zhen's breath was full of anger, obviously still in anger, Qin Wei was overjoyed when he saw it, and said, "Your Majesty, those officials have been taken down...... There are a lot of vacancies! Chen was thinking that there were a lot of victims in Wenfeng Village, could he pick some people from among them to serve...... Thinking that those victims are so grateful to His Majesty for his kindness, it is natural that they will do their duty......"
"Good!"
The ministers were shocked, and when they wanted to object, Zhao Zhen got up and said, "I'm tired." β
How many positions do you have to struggle with?
You really think I'm a bully, don't you? The mud bodhisattva still has three points of rusticness, not to mention the emperor.
The ministers had no choice but to retire, and after leaving the main hall, Sima Guang caught up and said: "This matter is a little inappropriate, if it becomes a common practice, how to deal with those conscripts in the future?" β
Originally, they were in the service, but you Qin Wei wanted to make them a fixed position and eat imperial food, what does this mean?
"It's just a few people."
Qin Wei dealt with it indiscriminately, and then slapped his head and said: "Oops, the fiancΓ©e at home is still waiting for the update, everyone, Qin will leave first......"
The guy ran away as soon as he smoked.
In the crowd behind him, Ma Delu was standing in the crowd, frowning and looking at the direction in which Qin Wei left, "This matter must not be moved lightly, otherwise the place will be in chaos, and I think it is better to persuade Your Majesty." β
"Why the chaos?"
It was Pang who spoke.
The Great Song Dynasty is not chaotic, and the Privy Council has the final say.
The Privy Council, which has the power to mobilize the world's soldiers and horses, is here, and even if there is really a big chaos, it is the people of the Privy Council who are the first to contribute.
The two argued as they walked, and a group of important ministers watched from the sidelines.
Before he saw Xuandemen, Ma Delu was already defeated and was not an opponent at all.
"Hey!"
Wang Yaochen saw Ma Delu standing in a daze, so he stepped forward and said: "Ma Zhongcheng, you must learn to look forward as a man, and you must look more at the real people's livelihood." β
Ma Delu nodded indiscriminately, but he still went back again and begged to see Zhao Zhen.
Later, news came that Madrid had been scolded by His Majesty and left the palace in a gloomy manner.
Everyone didn't know what he was going to do, but they heard that after Ma Delu went back, he went outside the city in civilian clothes, and they didn't know if he really wanted to know about the disaster, or if he just wanted to attract people's attention.
And Qin Wei sat in the study and pondered about the things to keep warm.
What can be warmed now is cotton, but it is not the cotton of later generations, and the sides are different.
Cotton was only used in the middle and late Song Dynasty, and it flourished in the Yuan Dynasty. During the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang forced cotton to be planted.
If the time is converted in this way, Qin Wei feels that the cotton should not be far from the Great Song Dynasty at this moment.
He was thinking about the appearance of cotton, and Sun Haomin outside said: "Lang Jun, Di Qing and Di Lang Jun are here." β
"What's going on today, do you need to report when you enter the door in the past? Let him come in quickly. β
Qin Wei looked at the cotton he had scribbled at at a loss, and he didn't even notice Di Qing walking in.
"Brother Qin, there are soldiers in the army......"
He secretly glanced at Qin Wei and said, "Some brothers put the belly of the woman in the village ...... Now the woman is making trouble, if it spreads. β
Qin Wei's mood was depressed, and when he heard the words, he asked, "It's big?" β
Di Qing nodded with a cold face.
Since the day of its establishment, the Northern Expeditionary Army has always been the focus of attention of the lords in the court, especially those powerful people, who wished that the Northern Expeditionary Army would make some mistakes and find a reason to dismantle this unsightly army.
You must know that Qin Wei was knighted by relying on the military exploits of the Northern Expeditionary Army.
If the Northern Expeditionary Army is gone, then Qin Wei's title will become an empty title, which will be more or less a blow to him.
Qin Wei couldn't help but say angrily: "But a woman? β
If it is a third party, then it is not said, this is a defeat of morality, even if Qin Wei is not severely punished, the laws of the Great Song Dynasty will not allow it, and the pig cage is light.
"It's not a woman, it's a female worker in the Qinjiazhuang Xianglu workshop, I heard that the family is begging for a living in the Zhuangzi, and the woman from a good family ......"
Qin Wei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Go outside the city." β
β¦β¦
In the courtyard of Qinjiazhuang's mansion, two pairs of men and women knelt on the ground with their heads bowed.
When Qin Wei arrived, he saw the two women's small bellies bulging, and their bodies swayed slightly, obviously the ground was too cold in winter, and they couldn't stand it.
"Hurry up and help you up!"
Ma's!
Even if Qin Wei didn't have a child in his previous life, he knew that a pregnant woman couldn't suffer from the cold, otherwise it would be a big problem.
The side was full of people from the village, and when they heard that someone had come to help the two women, the two village soldiers also followed.
"Bastard!"
Seeing that they still dared to get up, Qin Wei went up with two feet, and whipped the two of them a few times with the horsewhip in his hand, which was a little relieved.
The two Northern Expeditionaries hurriedly knelt down again.
Qin Wei asked with a cold face: "Ma's, a group of brutes who can't control the lower half of their bodies, can they still have face?" Yes? Shameful stuff! β¦β¦ Convicted? β
"The villain is guilty."
The two of them were covered in blood and didn't dare to move again.
The farmer of the Qin family on the side said: "Lang Jun, these two have big bellies before they get married, and their reputation stinks...... Fortunately, it's all from our village, if it gets out......"
Unmarried pregnancy is a scandal in these years, if it didn't happen in the countryside, Qin Wei estimated that these two women would probably have to be dealt with by dipping in a pig cage or something.
He glared at the two Northern Expeditionary soldiers, and then said with a straight face: "This matter is so-and-so's fault...... A certain is the owner of Qinjiazhuang, and if something like this happens, it is not good for a certain person to take care of it......"
It's not that Qin Wei took the initiative to take responsibility, this matter really has nothing to do with him.
The mistake is that when he built the workshop, he only thought about safety, but ignored human nature.
There were many female workers in the Qin family's workshop, especially the Xianglu workshop built later, and he specially instructed Hu Ping to use all female workers.
Fragrance is a woman's household thing, and it is always awkward for a man to do it, after all, the boundary between men and women is still very clear these days.
It's just that he forgot that the Northern Expeditionary Army was responsible for taking care of the safety of Qinjiazhuang.
Therefore, these soldiers often go out of the camp to be on duty, and they are familiar with these people in the village when they come and go.
They are all young and strong young men, and they are the age of strong blood...... It's no wonder if nothing happens.
It's just that no one thought that Qin Wei would take the initiative to take the responsibility on himself.
The soldiers were all moved, and the two Northern Expeditionary soldiers who committed the crime screamed even more, only saying that it was their own fault, and they should be killed or killed.
Qin Wei was suddenly angry, and he went up with two feet, and it was very heavy.
"Shut up!"
He drank the two of them, and then said sincerely to the woman's elders: "Uncle, I heard that they are unmarried...... What do you think? Of course, it depends on the woman's intentions......"
The meaning in these words couldn't be more obvious, and the woman's elder immediately changed her reserved attitude and nodded.
Qin Wei smiled: "Is it good to be married like this?" The camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army is in the village, and they can also help some families in addition to training, which is not an exaggeration, right? β
An old man frowned and said, "But the reputation is ......."
It's a bargain!
Although everyone is the owner of Qinjiazhuang, Qin Wei is the absolute master, but once it is related to their own interests, it must not be ambiguous.
Now marrying a daughter is a burden, and the dowry can make families with a few daughters want to jump into the river.
Qin Wei smiled bitterly in his heart, and said: "Marriage naturally has to build a house, fortunately, there is enough vacant land above our village, and this matter will be borne with all his might, as for the dowry...... Just give it a meaning. β
Those women's relatives were a little nervous, they just hoped that there would be less, at least not to leave the house empty, and after hearing Qin Wei's promise, they immediately nodded and agreed.
"Good!"
Everyone couldn't help but rejoice, and the woman's family was even more joyful.
Only Qin Wei secretly said in his heart: what a sad custom......
If there was such a custom in the previous life, how many singles would have cried with joy!
Everyone praised Qin Wei for his compassion for the dealer, and chatted a few jokes, suppressing the embarrassment of being pregnant before marriage, and the matter was decided.
Qin Wei was about to go back, Xie Ting suddenly asked; "Lang Jun, what kind of flower did you draw in the study earlier?"
"Cotton ......"
Qin Wei said casually.
But Xie Ting frowned seriously, and then asked, "But something like a cocoon?" The shell is hard, but the inside is really white? β
"Yes!"
Qin Wei's heart suddenly lifted, and he hurriedly asked, "Have you seen it?" β
Xie Ting thought about it carefully, and nodded uncertainly: "I seem to have seen ......"
"Think about it, don't talk nonsense......"
Seeing Qin Wei's serious face,
"When the villain was young, he went to the north with his father and mother to beg for a living, and when he was a servant in a Liao landlord's house for a few years, he planted this kind of flower in his family...... Listening to the locals, it seems to be called...... White Branch...... That's right, it's the white branch flower! β
