Chapter 389: Mother is more precious than child
"Mothers are more expensive than children!"
This sentence is regarded as the most reasonable in the harem, and the mother of today's official family, Zhu, is a lowly imperial servant, and finally gave birth to today's official family, which made him one of the most noble people in the harem.
And among the people, in this era of male superiority and inferiority of women, this sentence is also a wise saying.
Before that, everyone was just talking about it, but when all this really happened in front of everyone's eyes, they still couldn't help blurting out.
"Ma's greatest luck is to give birth to a son, the evil doctor Fan Zheng." Everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
In the Great Song Dynasty, unless it is the first talented woman in the ages like Li Qingzhao, other women can only rely on men, but women have three opportunities to decide their fate in their lives, one is to be born, one is to marry, and the other is to have children.
In terms of birth, Ma is not any good, she was born in a poor family, when natural disasters and man-made disasters continued, the Ma family was already dilapidated, and could not afford to support Ma's at all, so she had to send it to Fan's mansion, sold some money to subsidize the family, and at the same time sought a way to live for the hard-working Ma, her birth did not bring any advantage to Ma, but let her send people under the fence.
After arriving at the Fan family, Ma was favored by the Fan family's housewife Wang and served beside him, and Wang was infertile, in order to pass on the incense to Fan Chunli, Ma became a concubine of Fan Chunli, although she gave birth to her son Fan Zheng, she was still a low-status concubine, and marrying someone also did not give Ma a chance to change her fate.
Who would have thought that it was his son Fan Zheng who really changed Ma's fate, not only did Ma's mother rely on her son to be expensive, and she was promoted from the position of concubine to the position of the wife, but she was also named the five-grade lady by the imperial court, which was also a grade higher than Li Qingzhao's six-grade order.
"One door, two orders! Father and son are prime ministers! ”
The surrounding dignitaries and nobles all sighed, in the three rooms of the Fan Mansion alone, Li Qingzhao and Ma were both Mrs. Decree, not to mention that Fan Zhongyan was the prime minister back then, and now Fan Chunli is also the prime minister.
Not to mention that although Fan Zheng is a small imperial physician today, with Fan Zheng's talent and the reverence of the official family, no one doubts that Fan Zheng will be in the position of Zaifu in the future.
What's even more commendable is that everything in the Fan family is obtained with merit, and there has never been a trace of opportunism, even if it is so favorable, it still makes people unable to find any fault.
"Wife!"
Ma's tears couldn't stop the tears, but the corners of her eyes were full of smiles, she had never had the luxury of this day, and it was realized by her son.
"Whose child is the rebel!"
The other eunuchs couldn't help but sigh when they heard this, turned around and looked at their unlucky son, and suddenly became angry.
They are not from concubines, but upright wives, and even so, compared with Fan Zheng, their sons are simply different.
At the beginning, Fan Chunli repeatedly shouted angrily at Fan Zheng's rebel son, and his voice was so loud that even they could hear it clearly, but now it seems that their son is a useless rebel.
"Butler, immediately send this good news to your father!" Fan Zheng waved his hand and instructed the housekeeper of the Fan Mansion.
"Yes! Master! The housekeeper of the Fan Mansion immediately responded.
Only then did Ma Shi react, it should have been a happy event for him to be promoted from a concubine to a wife, but his husband Fan Chunli didn't know it yet?
"The lord still doesn't know? If............. Ma worried.
He was raised as his wife, and he had the most to do with Fan Chunli, but he didn't know it, would he be misunderstood by the master, thinking that he was deliberately instigating his son to plot the position of his wife, and he was prejudiced against himself!
Although she is extremely eager for the reputation of her wife, she doesn't want Fan Chunli to misunderstand, let alone let Fan Chunli fall into the reputation of spoiling his concubine and killing his wife.
Fan Zheng snorted coldly and said: "Mother don't worry, there is a child here, besides, the eldest mother has been dead for many years, and the Fan family does not have a housewife, I am afraid it will make people laugh, since he can't do it for his mother, then the child has done it, how dare he say more." ”
"My son has grown up!"
Ma Shi looked at the already high-spirited war, and his heart suddenly increased with confidence, and he turned around and looked at his five-grade edict document with love, immersed in joy, but afraid that this was a dream.
Fan Zheng hugged Fan Zhi, looked at this scene, glanced at Li Qingzhao, couldn't help but smile, and didn't bother Ma.
…………………………
"The water is receding!"
With the completion of the Yellow River breach, the water level in the Yellow River-stricken areas quickly began to drop, and all those involved in the disaster relief could not help but cheer.
As soon as the flood waters subside and the people return to their hometowns, the flood will be truly over.
"Lord Qiqi Fan, many victims have begun to return to their hometowns, and the number of victims has dropped significantly!" Yuncheng County ordered to report.
In order to show his merit in front of Fan Chunli, even if the Yellow River embankment has been closed, the Yuncheng County Commander still took the people to listen to the order under Fan Chunli's account.
Hearing that the number of victims had been greatly reduced, Fan Chunli breathed a sigh of relief, this once-in-a-century flood should have caused huge damage and losses to the Great Song Dynasty, but under the initiative to discharge the flood and block the breach in advance, whether it was the loss or the time of the disaster, it was the lightest in all dynasties.
"The flood gate must be completed as soon as possible, and at the same time, the Ministry of Industry was ordered to start surveying and mapping, and many low-lying places in the disaster area should be used as flood discharge areas, and there should be no walled villages in the flood discharge area, and the original villages must be relocated."
On the embankment of the Yellow River, Fan Chunli ordered.
Fan Zheng's flood discharge plan has been proven to be feasible, and the imperial court has spent a lot of money to prepare for the construction of flood gates, in the future, the flood discharge Liangshan is probably a regular thing, and the flood discharge area is afraid that it will not be able to live in, and the original village relocation is a necessary policy.
Yuncheng County Commander couldn't help frowning and said: "Lord Fan thinks about the people, and the lower officials understand in their hearts that it is just that the homeland is difficult to move, so the court will cause dissatisfaction among the people, and it will also make the court spend a lot." ”
The Yellow River is far away from Liangshanbo, and the flood discharge area is quite large, so there are many people who need to be relocated, and there will definitely be people who are unwilling, and it is also a troublesome matter for the imperial court to resettle these people.
Fan Chunli thought for a while and said: "Pang Jizu, a veterinarian, has been found, and wants to build a horse farm in the flood discharge area, once the water level of the Yellow River rises, the war horse can be evacuated as quickly as possible, and the loss will be minimized. ”
The imperial court flood discharge will only be concentrated in the rainy season for one or two months, and will be notified in advance, the flood discharge area is not all deserted, if it is designated as a horse farm, and the horse farm on both sides of the Yellow River is connected as a whole, it can not only turn waste into treasure, but also provide a large number of high-quality war horses for the imperial court, now artificial insemination is extremely mature, it is not difficult to give birth to war horses, the difficulty is to find a suitable horse breeding land, and the flood discharge area is the best choice.
And the speed of the horse is the fastest, once the flood is discharged in advance, it can be quickly transferred, and there is no need to plant a dealer in the flood discharge area, as long as there is grass to raise horses! In this way, the flood discharge area can be used as much as possible to reduce the losses of the imperial court.
"Horse Supervisor!"
In order to face the threat of Liaoxia, the imperial court allocated a large amount of money and grain to the horse supervisor every year, in order to make up for the shortage of war horses.
"It's still Fan Xianggong who is wise."
A group of subordinates complimented one after another.
Fan Chunli accepted it calmly on the surface, but in his heart he knew that it was Fan Zheng who was connecting him.
Pang Jizu, who was in charge of the horse supervisor, was a doctor, and if it weren't for Fan Zheng's relationship, how could the horse supervisor take the initiative to actively participate in this matter, making his work of relocating the victims much easier.
"In addition, all villages must have high ground for flood control, and the reconstruction of villages must be planned on high ground, and food and timber must be stored to avoid heavy losses due to flooding again." Fan Chunli ordered,
Now that the flood discharge area is full of silt, it is just with so much silt that the layout of the village can be raised to prevent the huge damage and human losses caused by the next flood discharge.
In this way, in case the Yellow River embankment cannot be saved and the flood is discharged again in the future, if the victims can evacuate, their houses and belongings will not suffer too much damage.
If there are stubborn victims who do not want to take refuge in all directions, they only need to hide on the high ground for a month, prepare enough food and wood, and wait until the imperial court blocks the breach, which is enough to relieve the siege.
Fan Chunli arranged them one by one, although Fan Zheng's amazing and brilliant evil prescription overshadowed him, but no one denied that Fan Chunli was a very capable official, Fan Zheng was just in addition to an evil prescription, but it was Fan Chunli who really implemented it, whether it was Bozhou or Kaifeng Mansion, as well as the pacification of the Yellow River flood, it was Fan Chunli's strong implementation that could make Fan Zheng's evil prescription shine, and the father and son could be said to achieve each other.
"The subordinate obeys!" Yuncheng County Ling said respectfully.
Fan Chunli arranged government affairs, and then got up and looked back at Kaifeng City.
Fan Zheng has been gone for many days, and now he must have arrived in Kaifeng City, and Qingzhao has also reached his due date, but he doesn't know whether he is holding his grandson or granddaughter this time.
"The old man is overjoyed, the young lady's mother and son are safe, and Fan Xianggong is going to hold his grandson."
The Yuncheng County Order, who had just left, came over with a member of the Fan family to bring good news to Fan Chunli.
"Great!"
Fan Chunli couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Why did Zheng'er choose a name?" Fan Chunli hurriedly asked.
The subordinates of the Fan family bowed their heads and said, "The young master named the little young master Zhi, named Fan Zhi!" ”
"Fan Zheng, Fan Zhi!"
Fan Chunli's face twitched, he naturally knew that his son's name was right, and his grandson's name was probably .............
"By the way, there is still good news in the house, and I still need to report it to the master." Fan's house is humane.
"And another good news?" Fan Chunli couldn't help but be puzzled.
"The queen mother personally passed the decree and named the young lady as the lady of the six grades!" Fan's house is humane.
"Sure enough, it's good news! Congratulations to Fan Xianggong. The Yuncheng County Commander hurriedly complimented.
Fan Chunli couldn't help but show a smug look, Li Qingzhao had the honor of being the lady of the Sixth Rank at a young age, and it was rare to look at the entire Kaifeng City.
At this moment, another urgent letter suddenly came, and I saw the housekeeper of the Fan Mansion coming in person.
"Why are you here!" Fan Chunli frowned.
The housekeeper of the Fan Mansion bowed his head and said, "The villain is here to give the good news to the master." ”
"Annunciation? Didn't Ah Fu already report the good news just now? Fan Chunli was puzzled.
The subordinate named Ah Fu also looked puzzled, obviously the housekeeper personally ordered him to come to report the good news, how could he personally come to report the good news again.
The housekeeper looked at Fan Chunli's face and said, "This time, the villain is to report good news to you, master." ”
"Tell me good news?" Fan Chunli couldn't help but show a smug look on his face, it must be his meritorious service in managing the Yellow River flood, and the imperial court praised him.
The housekeeper gritted his teeth and said: "The imperial court felt that the young master had made great contributions in the flood of the Yellow River, so he specially favored Mrs. Yin, and made an exception to transfer the identity of Mrs. from the concubine to the main wife, and was named Mrs. Wupin!" ”
"What?"
Fan Chunli stayed there for a moment.
His concubine was promoted to a wife without his knowledge, and was named Mrs. Wupin, it is obvious that the mastermind behind all this is his good son.
"This rebel!"
Fan Chunli gritted his teeth.
Spoiling the concubine and destroying his wife, Fan Zheng is going to ruin his reputation!
"This is the official family personally decreed, and the court changed the decree, the wife is not there, you can be a concubine for three years, and your children can also make meritorious contributions, and your wife just takes both." The housekeeper of the Fan Mansion said in a low voice.
Fan Chunli stayed there for a moment, he didn't expect Fan Zheng to change the decree of the entire imperial court for the sake of the Ma family, and did what he wanted to do but couldn't.
At the beginning, his original partner Wang was alive, Wang was born in a beautiful girl, and he was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Ma was born as a maid, if Wang is a delicate peony, Ma is like a grass on the side of the road.
However, the peony flower was too delicate, and the Wang family quickly disappeared, while the Ma family was as tenacious as a small grass and gave birth to a son Fan Zheng.
As they get along day and night, Fan Chunli and Ma's relationship is getting stronger, and Fan Chunli did not marry another wife, but handed over all the things in the Fan family to Ma's house.
However, this does not mean that the Ma family does not desire the status of a wife, but Fan Chunli prides himself on being a Qingliu celebrity, the son of Fan Zhongyan, so it is naturally impossible to risk the loss of his reputation and support the Ma family as a wife, not to mention that the laws of the Great Song Dynasty do not allow it.
However, who would have thought that Fan Zheng would take the initiative to stand up for his mother, not only let the official family issue an order to amend the law, not only let Ma get the position of his wife, but also let Ma get the title of Mrs. Wupin.
"This rebel!"
Fan Chunli scolded in his mouth, but a smile involuntarily appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Fan Zheng is indeed braver than his father as a son, what he can't do or even dare to do, Fan Zheng has done.
"Sir!" The housekeeper of the Fan Mansion shouted quietly.
Fan Chunli came back to his senses at this time, waved his hand and said, "Go back, go back and tell that rebel, if you dare to mess around, Lao Tzu will break his legs." ”
Hearing that he was going to break the young master's leg, the housekeeper of the Fan Mansion was immediately relieved, Fan Chunli didn't know how many times he had said this sentence, and Fan Zheng's leg was still intact.
Besides, even if Fan Chunli really broke Fan Zheng's leg, the young master was a famous evil doctor Fan Zheng, and he would still be able to heal himself. (End of chapter)
