Chapter Twenty-Seven: Death by Starvation

Zhu Song thought about it for a while, but he felt that it was wrong, this Feng Cheng's family shouldn't be so poor, he is the right governor of the Right Army Governor's Mansion, and this is not a small amount every year, and he can't even take out the dowry?

"Lord Feng, but what happened to his family?"

Feng Cheng nodded, and said helplessly: "Xiaguan's family has indeed been sealed up, just last year Xiaguan's uncle broke the law. He committed a sin and was given death by His Majesty. ”

"After my uncle died, the family was scattered, and there were still so many people left, and they couldn't watch them starve to death, so the lower officials took out some family assets from the family and gave them to these relatives, so that they could leave Jingshi and return to their hometown to buy some fields."

Zhu Song frowned: "It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, Song Guogong is the prince of the country, and the court also has thousands of stones, and he hasn't saved any money?" ”

Feng Cheng sighed.

"My uncle spends money lavishly on weekdays, and when the oil bottle is poured at home, he doesn't take any support, and every year he points to the court's Yulu, who eats and drinks a lot when he comes, and also takes out some to do business with others."

"Later, after being given death by His Majesty, the family's business was also copied together, and His Majesty was able to let go of my uncle's family, which can be regarded as for the sake of Princess Zhou's face."

"Xia Guan didn't expect that my uncle's family has such a large population, and the number of people in Xia Xia alone is almost a hundred, and as soon as this person is more, the family background of Xia Guan's family will be thin, and if it is thin, it will be gone."

"If you can let the lower officials ease down for a few more years, the lower officials will not be so embarrassed, but what happened last year, Your Majesty will get married this year, and get married at the end of the year, and the lower officials' hair is about to fall out these days, and they can't think of a good way."

That's why I had to come to the door with a thick face...... Come and ask Your Highness for your help. ”

Zhu Song leaned back in his chair after hearing this, no wonder Feng Cheng was desperate to beg his future son-in-law to ask for a little less dowry.

Speaking of which, Song Guogong did break the law and invaded the people's acres together with other famous Huaixi generals, which Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to see and was the most angry.

Of course, it is written in the history books, but in fact, Song Guogong is not guilty of death, and the reason why he was given death is because he has too much credit, I am afraid that Zhu Yunwen will not be able to suppress this great hero after he ascends the throne, so he can only kill him.

This Feng Cheng is kind-hearted, but in the end, this is his own uncle's house, and he, as a nephew, can help some if he can.

It's just that I didn't expect that even my own family background would be out, so let's get it out, if there is no emperor to get married, he will be relieved for a few years, but who would have thought.

The Son of Heaven pointed out that his daughter was married to a prince, and the Son of Heaven naturally would not be stingy with his dowry, but as a minister, as the bride's maiden family, if he didn't come up with some decent dowry, I am afraid it would be unreasonable for His Majesty.

Thinking of this, Zhu Song understood Feng Cheng.

"I see, Lord Feng, rest assured, this king has quite a lot of family resources, and this dowry ......"

Zhu Song thought about it and took out two thousand taels of silver tickets directly from his pocket.

"Lord Feng, this is two thousand taels of silver tickets, it is enough to buy a dowry, and the rest of the silver will be subsidized in your own family, adults must not shirk, they will be their own family in the future, and this king will call his lord a father-in-law!"

[PS: For the sake of convenience, don't study when the silver ticket appeared. 】

Feng Cheng hurriedly shook his head after hearing this.

"Your Highness, this is absolutely not good, even if the lower official comes to the door, he is just asking for help, but this is not what he means, and these silver taels are borrowed by the lower official! He has enough money in the future, and he will definitely return it to His Highness! ”

After Zhu Song heard this, he didn't care about it, and directly stuffed all the two thousand taels of silver tickets into Feng Cheng's hand.

"Lord Feng, in a few days, it will be his own family, this king married Ling Ai is half of Lord Feng's son, how can this king watch the princess's maiden family have a bad time?"

"You will accept all the money, and if anyone asks you, you will say that it was given by the king."

Feng Cheng held the two thousand taels of silver tickets and stood up and bowed.

"Thank you, Your Highness, but the two thousand taels of silver tickets are still counted as borrowed from Xiaguan!"

This old breed!

Zhu Song didn't bother to tell him this, this person, if he hadn't been forced to do his part, I'm afraid he wouldn't have come to the door to ask him for help.

It is estimated that it is because of Song Guogong that he is in the Beijing Division, and I am afraid that there is no one who can speak, and he can't wait to hide from him.

Even if her daughter marries King Han and becomes the daughter-in-law of Her Majesty, what can she do if she becomes Princess Han, so isn't the daughter of Song Guogong also married to King Zhou, not His Majesty's daughter-in-law, what is the result? No, it's still a dead end.

Zhu Song originally planned to keep Feng Cheng to have a meal in the palace, but Feng Cheng wanted to go back and hurry up to buy the dowry, and if he thought about it, it would be a few days before the dowry, and now the dowry was not ready, no wonder he was in a hurry.

After sending Feng Cheng away, at this moment, he saw a herald who hurriedly stopped his horse at the gate of the palace.

"Your Highness, a letter from Jinan Mansion."

King Han took the letter and opened it, but found that it was written that Zhang Tiezhu's family had been ruined, and his brother and mother had starved to death at home.

"Starved?"

Zhu Song looked at the messenger: "You are from Jinan Mansion?" ”

The herald replied, "If you go back to Your Highness, the humble post is from Jinan Mansion. ”

"What the hell is written in this letter, the old lady and brother of this king's subordinates starved to death at home, but he sends money to the family every year!"

When the herald heard this, his eyes were also darkened.

"I really don't know if I go back to His Royal Highness, I just sent the letter on the order of the prefect, and I don't know anything about the rest of the things!"

Zhu Song put away the letter angrily, waved his hand to signal what he should do, returned to the main hall, sat on the chair, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

That Tiezhu is a big soldier who doesn't know how to write, and when he used to send money to his family, he asked Lao Cao to help write letters.

The silver is sent every year, and you can see letters from your hometown every year.

Zhang Tiezhu himself doesn't know a single big character, and his brother also doesn't know a single big character, but their village is literate, and every time they ask someone who can write to help write a letter.

If Zhu Song remembers correctly, Zhang Tiezhu wrote a letter to his family before the Chinese New Year last year, and he did receive a reply after the New Year, and everything was fine at home.

After he followed him, the money was getting more and more year by year, and every time he left some food and clothing for himself and some wine money, he sent the rest to his home.

Don't say that the silver lasts until the end of the year, it is not to farm or work, and it will be fine if you persist for half a year.
