Chapter 144: The widow's mother-in-law's house came to the door
Zhu Di has a rod scale in his heart, but most of the time no one can touch it accurately.
Not long after Xu Qin's recital was sent, the imperial court's reward for the annihilation of the three thousand Japanese pirates by the Haifan Division was decreed.
Along with the decree was Yang Rong, the minister of the Imperial Mission. He had asked for the message himself.
He came here at this level to deliver the decree, which is obviously too advanced. He wanted to see with his own eyes the fortifications built by Xu Qin himself. Zhu Di also asked him to inspect the Haifan Division by the way.
On the day of the proclamation, the entire Haifan Division was unprecedented. Although Xu Qin did this matter, the entire Haifan Division was fortunate to have honor. The merchants spontaneously organized a welcoming ceremony.
In the newly built Haifan Si Yamen, Yang Rong read out the holy decree. Throw away the tirades and nonsense.
The overall level of Haifan Division has been raised by one level, and Xu Qin's item Langzhong has been promoted to the fourth grade. And from the original civilian official sequence to a military attachΓ©.
The commander of the Haifan Division, General Gamingwei, the captain of the cavalry, is still the ambassador of the Haifan Division, and the squire of the household department.
The latter is useless, at most it is an option to increase the salary, and you have to work more. The most important thing is the commander of the Haifan Division.
The holy decree made it clear that the Haifan Division commanded the 4,000 Tibetan guards, and there were 4,000 households under it. In addition, there are 3,000 sailors in the sailor battalion and 1,500 in the chengguan battalion.
As for the warships, they can arrange them on their own as needed.
The rank of the Haifan Division has been raised, and the people below have been promoted, and they have more official positions.
There are still not enough people in the Haifan Division, don't look at the fact that Xu Qin has so many military households and artisan households, in fact, there is a huge shortage of qualified officials.
After Yang Rong finished the decree, he gave the holy decree to Xu Qin. Ignoring the reception ceremony of the merchants.
I couldn't wait to see Xu Qin's fortification design, and even walked through every tunnel myself. Especially praise for the hidden bunkers hidden everywhere.
When he saw the Ming Royal Bank, where is this money, it is clearly a ...... Something he didn't describe.
"I call him a bunker. The greatest possible advantage of the defenders, in fact, the entire port, all the buildings are like this. Every warehouse, every merchant, behind closed doors, is a bunker. β
Standing on the third floor of the Daming Royal Money Village, let Yang Rong see his layout clearly.
Yang Rong assumed that he led his troops to attack here, and finally couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Because there is no good way to break the accident except for huge casualties one by one.
"The little grandfather is talented, and there are no flaws in the design of this place." Yang Rong said with a sigh.
"It's useless, put a big boat on the river, cover the blow directly with cannons, and here is the grave."
Xu Qin said without hesitation. He wanted to make these people understand that the times of war had changed. With real fire cover, all the fortifications were in vain.
Yang Rong smiled silently, and subconsciously touched the wall. Then he froze.
"What is this, not glutinous rice juice." Yang Rong said, holding the brick joint.
Then he looked around the construction site and realized that there was a problem, the construction here seemed to be too fast.
"Cement, which is specially used for construction, is a mason's business, and I will take the adults to see something else."
Xu Qinxin said that this person's eyes are really thieves. Why are you such a high official paying attention to this?
Now that he has all the good things he has begun to hide, there are too many people who come to take advantage, especially Lao Zhu is always used to coming over to rob, so he can't let them see it.
Yang Rong glanced at Xu Qin, nodded and didn't say anything.
Only then did he have time to accept the welcome banquet, to have a meal with these officials of the Haifan Division, and to accept the merchant's gift and accept the merchant's banquet.
Even the singing and dancing and beautiful women arranged by the merchants did not refuse to come. There is no awareness of ethics for high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty at all.
This old guy didn't leave when he came, enjoying the wine, food and beautiful women, and even openly took a group of Qinglou women to go boating on the river.
Finally, someone blocked Yang Rong's way and sued Xu Qin. not only sued Xu Qin, but also Yu Tai by the way.
Yu Cuiniang's ex-husband's house, the Lin family blocked Yang Rong's way, kneeling on the ground and holding the paper to shout grievances.
sued Xu Qin for forcibly marrying a folk woman and forcibly destroying the simple folk customs. sued Yu Taiqiang for robbing the people's daughter and snatched away the daughter-in-law who married into his family.
Yang Rong held the paper, and his originally slightly drunk state immediately sobered up.
"Since someone is suing, let's ask the two defendants!" Yang Rong said to his subordinates.
Xu Qin was fighting with Guan Guan and Wanwan with the landlord, and Xu Hao came in and told her that Yang Ge was looking for him. Someone sued him.
Yang Rong temporarily used the Haifan Division Yamen. Xu Qin and Yu Tai on the left, as well as the plump Yu Cuiniang.
On the right were three people, an old scholar, a young man in his twenties, and behind them stood a rich man with a gloomy face.
I think it's the plaintiff Lin family.
Xu Qin looked left and right, but he didn't find a chair. Yang Rong is going to do something. I didn't even give myself a chair.
Do you really want to be business-like? couldn't help but glance at Yang Rong who was sitting in the lobby. Hesitant to be the first to strike.
"Lord Xu, I will borrow your lobby today, and I won't have any opinions." Yang Rong asked Xu Qin first.
This is an unwritten rule of officialdom, and no matter how big an official is, he cannot occupy the main position of other people's official offices. But Yang Rong is the emperor of the Qin Mission, so it seems that it is okay to do so.
So he said hello to Xu Qin first.
"Lord Yang is a Qincha, so naturally he can." Xu Qin's words are not very polite.
He hadn't sat in this lobby since it was built, and of course it had something to do with his laziness. But I was sat down by someone first, and I felt uncomfortable after all.
Yang Rong didn't take it seriously. Immediately open a court to ask questions.
"Lord Xu, Lord Yu, the Lin family sues you for forcibly marrying a woman for destroying the simple folk customs, and for robbing a married daughter. Do you have anything to say? β
Yang Rong asked, sitting on a chair in the lobby.
"Forcibly marrying a woman? Who's stronger? I don't remember anything about the Lin family. Xu Qin said slowly with his hands behind his back.
"Lin Dongsheng, if the list of civil prosecutors is not true, the consequences will be very serious. You sued Lord Xu for forcibly marrying a woman, is there any evidence? β
Yang Rong asked the old man of the Lin family.
"Back to Lord Qincha's words, this Lord Xu sentenced more than a dozen widowed women a few days ago to choose someone to remarry, so that other women who keep festivals are ready to move. Corrupt the simple folk customs. This is well known. β
The old man of the Lin family said indignantly.
"Lord Xu, is there such a thing?" Yang Rong turned around and asked Xu Qin.
"Yes, not only that, but I also made it clear that in the future, a widow who wants to remarry will come to complain, and I will sentence it like this.
I don't understand that forcing widows to observe festivals, what kind of simple folk customs are his mother, isn't it just to earn the chastity archway of the imperial court? The dog said, something that destroys human nature.
For the sake of your selfish thoughts and desires, you have to pit others for a lifetime, and you will pit others to death with simplicity!
How did selfishness and selfishness become simple? β
Xu Qin pointed at Old Man Lin and scolded. By the way, even Yang Rong was scared. His temper has already risen, and if anyone dares to provoke it again, he will not be polite.
Yu Cuiniang stopped Xu Qin's vulgar swearing, but it sounded so pleasing to the ear. Such an immoral thing was openly opposed by him. None of those so-called readers dared to say it.
He is opening a way for the poor women in the world to live. But can it really succeed? She looked worriedly at Chincha-sama. Secretly gritted his teeth and decided whether to help Lord Xu.
Yang Rong had heard that Xu Qin had a bad temper, and when he returned to the capital, he also heard about this guy's audacity, and the people of the Han King dared to kill him. Chen Ying dared to scold.
Today I saw it.
"Lord Qincha, what is he talking about, don't you want loyalty and filial piety? For the sake of a few women, how can they ruin the great cause of Confucianism. β
The old man of the Lin family roared and said, Yu Tai frowned when he heard this, this is a big hat.
It seems to be the old man of the Lin family, who is messing around, barking like a mad dog. But it is the power of Confucianism that has accumulated for hundreds of years that is making its voice.
This sentence is not easy to deal with, and even Yang Rong has a correct attitude. Yu Tai took a deep breath and planned to come out to argue with him.
Xu Qin spoke.
"Loyalty, filial piety, etiquette, and morality, which rule should make women not human? That's what Sage Confucius taught you? Then why do you marry a wife, wouldn't it be better to just find a sow and give birth to a litter of beasts?
Ah, yes, that's what you did. β
Xu Qin said bitterly, and the tense Yu Tai stumbled and almost flashed his waist. Yang Rong's face twitched.
This guy is too immoral, but he scolded so much that Yu Cuiniang covered her face with her sleeves and couldn't laugh.
The scolding is so enjoyable.
