Feudal scholar-bureaucrats reborn: marrying a husband and marrying a virtuous

The cold wind in early winter made Lin Fangxu sneez twice. The winter in the capital is cold and dry. It is an extraordinary torture for pumpkin seedlings born in a humid and warm place. Fortunately, pumpkin seedlings can return to their hometown in a few days. up.

Before the crown prince left Qianqing Palace, he told Lin Fangxu to prepare in advance, and he would leave in a few days. Lin Fangxu walked home, thinking about whether to take his nephew back with him.

Thinking about Lin Xiuhao who was picked up by the Marquis of Wu'an almost every day during this period, Lin Fangxu considered whether he should simply leave the boy in the Marquis of Wu'an.

When Lin Fangxu arrived home, Lin Xiuhao was at home doing the homework assigned by him. Lin Fangyuan didn't know where he was busy. Lin Chong was practicing marksmanship in the yard. When he saw him, he blamed himself and felt that he had neglected his duty.

Usually, he would leave the palace in the evening, and then Lin Chong would estimate the time and drive a car to pick him up. Lin Fangxu explained to him that today's situation is special, so that he doesn't have to worry about it, and it's not too far from the palace gate to home.

Lin Xiuhao didn't care about his brother-in-law walking home, he only cared about some special circumstances, so he didn't have to be on duty.

Lin Fangxu glanced at him, and told them about going back to the south of the Yangtze River. He secretly poked at his nephew who was planning to throw him in the capital. After hearing this, he happily jumped three feet high, and kept asking around Lin Fangxu, "Is it true, little uncle?" ? Are we going back? I miss home so much, oh..., it's so good, I miss my father, my father, and..., uh, isn't it?!"

Lin Xiuhao suddenly thought of something, and before he finished listing the people who really thought about it, he frowned and said seriously: "Little uncle, why are you suddenly going back, even if you are going outside, you have to stay in the Imperial Academy for three years ? Did something happen?...Little uncle, that...you were dismissed?"

Seeing his nephew's questioning cautiously, Lin Fangxu said angrily, "Yes, I'm dismissed from office and go back to my hometown to join your father, where is my eldest brother!"

Fortunately..., I can still talk to myself in this tone. Even if it is not a happy event, it is probably not a big event. Lin Xiuhao heaved a sigh of relief, followed behind his uncle with a smile, and asked: "Little uncle, what happened?" What's the matter?"

Lin Fangyuan was cleaning the room, and ran out when he heard the commotion. After pouring tea for Lin Fangxu, he asked curiously, "Master, are you an expatriate?"

Lin Fangxu thinks about his experience in the past half a day, and it can be regarded as thrilling. After today, Lin Fangxu is afraid that he will be like his grandfather, being flattered by his colleagues, but secretly regarded him as a plague god, haha..., I think it's quite interesting to think about it .

Seeing that his uncle hadn't spoken for a long time, Lin Xiuhao ran over and leaned into his ear, suppressing his excitement, and asked excitedly and in a low voice: "Uncle? Did you receive some secret order? Do you want it to be done in secret?"

Suddenly there was a rush of heat in his ears, and he turned his head to meet his nephew's round eyes, whether it was because of nervousness or excitement, Lin Fangxu took a deep breath, "Secret fart!"Secret..., I'm afraid everyone in the capital will know it before tomorrow! '

Hidden a lot of things that shouldn't be said and didn't want to be said, Lin Fangxu told the three of them that His Majesty sent His Highness the Crown Prince to reorganize the city and ship tax, and he would follow him when the time came. After the Crown Prince made arrangements for the capital, they would set off together. It is estimated that it will be in these few days.

Lin Fangyuan and Lin Chong didn't ask any more questions after listening, they just left separately, intending to pack up and prepare in advance, but Lin Xiuhao sat beside his uncle, frowning and thinking, with a baby fat face, sometimes happy, sometimes worried, after a while Can't help but leaned into Lin Fangxu's ear and whispered: "Uncle, although you have been reused by the sage, my nephew should be happy for you, but the reform of the city ship tax is probably very difficult?"

Lin Fangxu put his hand on his forehead, pushed his big head away, and corrected him: "His Royal Highness is going to reform the city and ship tax. Your uncle is not even a handyman, so don't worry about it."

All his painstaking efforts were let down like this, Lin Xiuhao was a little sad to be underestimated, forget it..., he couldn't write two Lin characters in one stroke, the fourth generation eldest son of the Lin family who thought he was sensible and responsible, turned to his uncle, serious and serious He said solemnly: "Uncle, don't take it seriously, do you know what happened in Ningbo last year?"

Lin Fangxu took a sip of tea and asked, "What's the matter?"

Lin Xiuhao listened to his uncle's question, and immediately sat down next to Lin Fangxu with pouted buttocks, leaned his head closer, and said mysteriously: "I also heard from my father and grandfather during the Chinese New Year. At the end of last year, Kong Anxian, the prefect of Ningbo, personally suppressed the people from the Shibo Department to go door-to-door. Going door-to-door to collect market and ship taxes, those rich and powerful families took out the account books on the surface and cried poorly, and finally received thousands of taels of silver. Of course the prefect of Kong didn't believe their fake accounts, so he simply took the yamen servants to the pier and withheld them out to sea. The ships of the sea were inspected one by one, and guess what happened?"

Lin Fangxu, who was listening with a heavy heart, looked at his nephew's face of "Quickly ask me", and just wanted to slap him, "Who did you learn the way of speaking from?" !Storytelling! '

... Forget it, took a deep breath and asked, "What happened afterwards?"

Lin Xiuhao continued: "Later on the ship and the pier, tens of thousands of coolie men and sailors made trouble together, saying that the government's arrest of the ship was to cut off their livelihood.

Speaking of this, Lin Xiuhao seemed to be thinking of something, and said in a low tone: "I heard from my grandfather that the government servants who followed the prefect of Kong were killed and injured. None are immune."

"Little uncle, do you know? On the way to the capital with my father at the beginning of the year, I heard many merchants in the inn scold the prefect Kong, saying that he is tyrannical and greedy for money, and has no regard for the lives of the people!" After Lin Xiuhao finished speaking, the atmosphere was a little dull.

Lin Fangxu wanted to comfort him, but seeing that he regained his energy in an instant, he continued to lean over and asked in a low voice: "Little uncle, you said that those foolish men and women are so easy to be incited, and they like to listen to rumors, His Royal Highness Can it be done this time? It should be possible, right? If you don’t take Shoufu’s son seriously, you can’t even dare to belittle the crown prince, right?”

Lin Fangxu thought about the confrontation between Kong and Dong and the emperor during the court meeting today, and thought, 'Is that really bad?Didn't it mean that the strong dragon couldn't suppress the local snake, let alone a young dragon. '

However, there is no need to say these words to make his nephew worry. Lin Fangxu hooked Lin Xiuhao's big head, rubbed his big hand on top of his head twice, and said with a smile: "You have grown up, kid? You haven't even put on the Confucian shirt yet." , actually worried about the prince's safety."

Lin Xiuhao struggled hard, but couldn't break free. Just when he was about to try harder, the little uncle let him go, put his arms around his shoulders, and said in a comforting tone that he didn't even notice: "You kid can see through these things. It's not bad, but it's good to say these words in front of your uncle and me, as for His Royal Highness, you don't have to worry about it, the majestic Lord of the East Palace can shock many people just by his identity."

Lin Xiuhao touched his head with some embarrassment, but felt his hair that was tilted to one side, and said to his uncle resentfully, and ran back to the room with his messy hair.

Watching him leave, thinking about the appearance of this kid in the previous life, after passing the Yayuan examination in the rural area, he told himself with confidence that he would definitely enter the top three in the test.Hey..., I'm still young, although I'm not calm enough, but I have keen eyesight, and I don't just look at the surface when I look at problems. Lin Fangxu stretched out his hand to touch his beard in comfort, but only touched his bare chin, and put it down embarrassingly. hands.

In his previous life, he didn't have himself as a member of Zhongshushe, Kong Ge really planned to retire until he was gone!Even the joint letter from the teacher and the others failed to arouse his fighting spirit. In the end, he and Dong Gelao both sang and sang together to get the matter over with, so Yang Yan didn't get what he wanted in his previous life.

In this life, it is hard to say to what extent Yang Yan will investigate Yintian, but the rectification of the city tax will definitely not be the same as in his previous life. Because of the battle of wits and courage between the prefect of Kong and the Jiangnan family in the previous life.

Perhaps because of his temper, this guy couldn't get used to those arrogant and domineering local snakes when he was working in Ningbo. Everyone is involved in maritime smuggling, and even because of their wealth, they focus on combating maritime smuggling.

At the beginning, those people could bear with him because of their old face, and waited for him to take people with him every two days and drive a boat to the sea.

When they went to camp, they couldn't bear it anymore, at least some of them with bad temper couldn't bear it anymore, so they always received the news that their son had died at the hands of pirates.

The white-haired man sent the black-haired man, and the great grief ignited the fighting spirit of this old man whose body was half buried in the loess. Only then did he have a vigorous and vigorous investigation of sea smuggling activities in his previous life.

How many sea merchants died in the end, how many families were copied, Lin Fangxu died early, I don't know, but the bottom line is that Kong Ge was always avenging his son.

In his previous life, Lin Fangxu was the one who strictly investigated smuggling at sea. In fact, he had the idea that if he could combine several things together.

Why not?In the final analysis, the conflict between the imperial court and the Jiangnan family was nothing more than a matter of money.

It is as difficult as climbing the sky to take it from others, but it can be stipulated that it should be handed over.

The reason why smuggling is called smuggling is also because it is not officially recognized. It is an unspoken rule among scholars. When the court doesn't want to take care of it, you can follow this rule, but if the court takes care of it seriously, what can you do?At least on the surface you don't take it for granted.

After Lin Fangxu teased his nephew, he waited at home to set off with the comfort of having a successor, planning how to see Xiao Yun before he set off so that he wouldn't have to worry, but in places he couldn't see, many high-ranking families in the capital would Some stewards or staff rushed to the ancestral home in the south of the Yangtze River with a letter from the head of the family.

The prince personally went to preside over the reform of the city ship tax, and the news spread throughout the capital the next day. I am afraid that even the cook in the boiler room of the Imperial Academy knew about it. Jiang Shiyun knew about it earlier than others, and also knew about it. Apart from the incident involving the personal guards of the crown prince's East Palace, the Holy Majesty privately ordered the eldest brother of the emperor to send another 2000 people from the capital camp to go with him.

The elder elder brother of the great emperor is still very concerned about the safety of his nephew. The next day after the court meeting, he went to the capital camp to select it in person. Jiang Shiyun, who had learned the news from his father, also waited in the barracks of the chief governor early in the morning. forward.

Zhu Xuan came alone this time, and he was not surprised to see the little brother waiting at the gate of the barracks.After years of sculpting, the corners of the eyes and forehead are full of fine lines, but the steady and resolute face, with a teasing smile, stepped forward and patted Jiang Shiyun's shoulder affectionately, and said with a smile: "Your three-man formation, the last martial arts competition Shi is really a big show, and it can be regarded as having the strength of an expatriate, this time His Royal Highness is going south, you should also go to experience it."

Jiang Shiyun smiled happily, looked at the governor's playful eyes, and said with a blushing face, "Thank you for your trust, the subordinate will definitely live up to expectations."

Shang Daoyu was still with Marquis of Wu'an Kua Lin Fangxu two days ago, he was really courageous and insightful this time, although he took some risks, but luckily in the end there was no danger and he got a good job.

Marquis Wu'an was also satisfied. A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a scholar who doesn't want to be a elder is not a good scholar. His future brother-in-law is really just like him, with ambition and courage!

It didn't take long for the couple to be happy, and they knew that their little brother was going to follow, and they immediately double-standardized. How could it be so simple to restructure the city ship tax? His Royal Highness is a valuable person, and those people may not dare to do anything. But the little soldiers and generals around him are not necessarily so.

So when Jiang Shiyun came back from the capital camp, he saw two worried faces, and said helplessly, "Father, father, please don't be like this? Since I have been admitted to the capital camp, I will definitely be sent abroad one day. Go to Jiangnan It’s much safer than going to the border and confronting Monu.”

Marquis Wu An was dissatisfied and said: "It won't be so early. Usually, you have to train in the capital camp for two or three years before being sent abroad. By then, you will also marry Brother Xu. If you are pregnant with a child, you can ask for leave without leaving. Beijing. If you can conceive two more in a row, father will find a way to find you an errand in the capital, so you can stay in the capital forever."

Jiang Shiyun, a little brother who was not as old as Ji, was blushed by his father's words about how many babies he was pregnant with, and said angrily: "Daddy! What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Shang Daoyu took a white look at the big, stupid guy next to him, and said earnestly: "Although your father's words are rough, it is not unreasonable. Besides, you will be married next year, and then you will be married to Brother Xu, you run away." It’s so far away, I’m afraid I’ll miss it by then.”

Jiang Shiyun was shocked and said: "How can I miss it? At worst, the sender will set off from the capital with the dowry. Is it okay if I get on the sedan chair halfway in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Shang Daoyu sullenly, took a deep breath and said, "I'm talking about Jiji Li will miss it!"

Marquis Wu An also rolled his eyes, feeling in his heart, Xiao Yun is usually quite clever, but he never thought he would be so naive!

What about Jiang Shiyun?It's also embarrassing to lose face in front of your parents. She smiled embarrassingly and said in a low voice, "If father and mother are all right, I'll go and pack things first."

Shang Daoyu's husband and wife knew that they couldn't understand their own stubborn brother, and they both sat in the lobby sulking, so that when Lin Fangxu came to Wu'anhou's mansion to say goodbye, Shang Daoyu had already returned to the inner courtyard, and only Wu'anhou looked serious. Tell him to be cautious in everything, and not to act so boldly as he did during the court meeting. When he gets to someone else's territory, they may not just fight with you, they might make a move if they can't talk about it.

Lin Fangxu nodded silently, yes, and finally asked cautiously: "I wonder if Shaolang is in the mansion?" Thinking that under normal circumstances, in the future, the brother-in-law will go to work thousands of miles away in the future, so why would he let his little brother come out to see him? on the side.

It's a pity that the situation is not normal now, Wu Anhou only replied coldly: "Not here!"

Lin Fangxu left in disappointment, still thinking when he left, 'How could that be, he came here counting the time, he must have come back from the capital camp by this time!Could it be that Xiao Yun is dissatisfied with her going to Jiangnan, so she doesn't plan to see her when she gets angry!terrible……!You won't delay your marriage to your husband because of errands! '
