Promotion and fortune in Song Dynasty

Unlike the former emperor, Zhao Zhen rarely used the private seal of the emperor, so this seal is far from being widely known like the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, and even the ministers in the court know it...

But Lu Ci, who made this seal by himself and gave it to officials as a birthday gift in a certain year, could not be recognized.

He didn't expect that the officials would use his original gift as the private seal of the Tian family, and he didn't expect that a small fight between friends would become something that even the emperor wanted to take part in. It's a big battle.

After reading Liu Qi's powerless words in the letter, Lu Ci sighed dumbfoundedly.

The little emperor is so active... Anyway, he never used the imperial seal to mess around, he simply relied on the fact that he didn't know how powerful he was, and those who recognized him wouldn't talk nonsense, so let it go.

After Lu Ci forwarded Liu Qi's manuscript to Teng Zongliang, and then from Teng Zongliang to Di Qing in Qinzhou, and finally returned to Lu Ci, another two months had passed.

Just in time for everything to be ready, there is this labor-intensive stone tablet, and a sword dance performance with a preface written by Yan Shu, arranged by Liu Qi, and choreographed by Di Qing as the opening ceremony, attracting countless people who happen to be in a neighboring state. The county, the literati who came in a hurry in the name of Lu Ci, and the common people watched curiously.

Those who have a lot of background can read at a level, and are busy admiring the paintings, preface poems, compositions, sword dances and repertoires; while those who are illiterate, although they don't know the depth, can watch the excitement.

Lu Ci has always been very clear that Suizhou is worse than Mizhou, far more remote and barren.Even though he spent a lot of manpower and material resources on the purchase of fields and mats, but because he was used to the rich and wealthy businessmen in Bianjing in his early years, he didn't think that his little wealth could cause much trouble.

But he completely underestimated his own influence - just the fact that the famous Lu Sanyuan and now Lu Jiedu established Keats here is enough to cause a sensation.

When he was still surprised by the audience, he didn't know that the word of mouth of these enthusiastic people who watched the excitement, the news about the Lu's Yizhuang he built in Suizhou and Mierzhou, and the "Seven Wonders in the World" horizontal The news of Kong's birth quickly swept through the streets and alleys of various states and counties.

Even Wang Qinruo and Han Jiang, who went to the place where they were relegated with great hatred and hatred, inevitably heard about this and could not help but hate him: "Little Lu Ci, he is always grandstanding, even returning to his hometown to keep his filial piety. Not willing to be calm, he insisted on making such a big battle to win the emperor's heart!

But no matter how much they scolded, it was obviously impossible to affect Lu Ci, who was thousands of miles away and was busy with many extra affairs in the past few days when he just opened the village.

"The seven wonders of the world?"

Lu Ci's eyes widened in surprise. It was obviously the first time he had heard this statement, so he couldn't help asking, "Which Qijue?"

Ouyang Xiu puffed out his chest unconsciously, and said with Yourong: "Students went to the Yaji recently, and the scribes nearby were full of praise for the righteous deeds of Lu Gong and other friends, and they yearned for it..." Luzhuang, Fan Ji , Liu Qu, Teng Hui, Su Shu, Shao Zhuan, and Di Jian are listed as the seven wonders of the world..."

Of course, in Ouyang Xiu's view, Lu Zhuang is the most important and brightest.

If there is no master who refuses to enjoy the riches and honors to himself, but sympathizes with the hungry and cold, the courage to save up, and the wide range of friends who respond to everyone, how can there be other "six musts"?

Ouyang Xiu was still talking proudly, and Lu Ci's eyes became more subtle and complex as he listened.

...God is above, his original intention was really just to entertain himself with relatives and friends!

Even though Lu Ci boasted that he was thick-skinned, he was also a little bit hot-skinned by the praise of "seven wonders in the world".

However, rather than remembering exactly which seven people did what, most of the people who only read the scripts and recognized the famous Lu Sanyuan, Zhu Shuo' and Liu Niangzi... oh no, Liu Qi's common people, simply It is much easier to pass on the simple four characters of "Seven Wonders of the World".

Especially in Suizhou, which has benefited the most, the streets and alleys are full of praises about "Lu's Yizhuang", and the people open their mouths and shut their mouths about "Seven Wonders in the World".

Lu Ci was secretly blushing at first, but he adapted very quickly, and after only a short while, he was able to assume a calm and breezy posture as usual.

He even frankly took advantage of the benefits brought by this rising fame: literati and elegant guests who came to admire the "Seven Wonders of the World" continued to gather from the surrounding areas. Under proper guidance, their strong curiosity , and more or less took care of the business of laying mats under the name of Yizhuang.

Of course, compared to these temporary benefits, what Lu Ci valued more were those gentry from all over the world who were interested in his specific regulations and sent people to send posts to try to visit.

For such a benign effect, Lu Ci has no secrets. He spared one day as soon as possible, invited everyone to his home, and showed everyone the charter that he had drawn up at the beginning.

For the convenience of giving, most of the mats set up by Lu's Yizhuang are related to the supplies: the Yitian is cultivated by widows and widows, and [-]% of it is put into the grain shop under the name of Yizhuang for sale or for interest-free loans during lean times. The other [-]% will be used as rations, at the standard of three buckets of white rice per mouth per month, and given to families without adult males to do labor; [-]% of the income from the operation of cloth shops and garment shops will be sold, and the other [-]% will be divided into two seasons in spring and summer every year. Give one piece of clothing; there are also subsidies for remarriage of orphans, funeral expenses, and for those who are outstanding in the academy, they will be given subsidies for pen, ink, paper and inkstone, travel expenses, etc. during the scientific examination. Three times the original subsidy will be returned...

Although it is far from being perfect, the gentry who also have a heart to do good regard the rudiment of this constitution as a treasure.

After reading it, they couldn't even care about Lu Ci, even if they had never met each other before, they quickly discussed it together.

Lu Ci was also happy to listen. The process of brainstorming is also a process of gradually improving the regulations so that the Yizhuang can operate longer.

The reputation of "Seven Wonders in the World" quickly spread to the capital.

Liu Qishang is good, he felt guilty because he failed to stop the officials from "doing wrong" before, and always felt that he would provoke Lu Ci's "revenge", so he kept his tail between his tails and kept a low profile. When facing the teasing of his friends, he only laughed and laughed. Take it with me.

Yan Shu, on the other hand, changed his style of night walks in brocade and brocade, and started to show off everywhere.

Especially for those colleagues who declined his invitation a few months ago who didn't bother to participate in this excitement, and now regretted it, he even mocked him unceremoniously, which was very happy.

The one who complained the most about this was the little emperor, who was completely ignored by the people of the time, despite relying on that huge private seal to get involved.

Liu Yuanyuan is really cunning!

Zhao Zhen was so regretful that he wanted to beat his chest and stamp his feet!

Why did he listen to the other party's nonsense that day, and only rely on a monogram and a private seal to settle the matter!

When Guo Shengren, who also heard about the reputation of "Seven Wonders in the World", came to inquire about the details, holding a bowl of soup symbolically, what he saw was the rare appearance of the husband with a swollen face, and he couldn't help saying: " The officials are..." Are you being bullied?

It's just that as soon as her voice came out, Zhao Zhen restrained his expression.

After all, as the age grows, the small officials who are in power will inevitably improve their face.

Especially in front of Guo Shengren, who he regards as stupid and stupid, it is quite burdensome.

Zhao Zhen coughed uncomfortably: "Why is the saint here?"

"Come and deliver soup to the officials."

Guo Shengren didn't ask any further questions, and after a flattering smile, he put the soup on the table, and he couldn't wait to push back the palace servants, and asked earnestly: "The officials don't know, I just heard about such an interesting story... "

Then he said the 'seven uniques' that he had just heard from the palace maid.

Before he had time to pick up the soup, Zhao Zhen, who was reminded of being completely ignored by others, immediately lowered his face in aggrieved manner.

——It’s true which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted!

Empress Guo, who thought she could get more information from the official family, was soon ruthlessly kicked out by the angry little emperor.

Pitiful, she was still wondering, something was wrong with the official's mind, Zhao Zhen was already angrily picking up a pen, thinking about how to write the imperial edict to seize love.

From Zhao Zhen's point of view, the little master has been worried about Ding for more than half a year, and now he is not as depressed as he was worried about at the beginning, but has built a righteous village with great energy, and it is obvious that he is about to show his talents...

Since the Yizhuang is about to get on the right track, it can be handed over to a trustworthy person to accept it, and people should come back to him quickly, so as not to be overqualified and useless.

It's just that after "killing first and playing later" several times, Zhao Zhen felt a little guilty. Knowing that the matter was serious this time, he sent a secret letter first to test Lu Ci's attitude.

After he waited for half a month, Lu Ci's reply was that he had arrived, but he seemed to deliberately ignore the hints in his words, and said pitifully that the newly built Yizhuang was short of manpower, and it was really hard to leave...

All right, then he will continue to wait.

Zhao Zhen waited patiently for another three months.

As summer went and autumn came, he watched eagerly as the maple leaves turned red, and couldn't hold back anymore, and sent another letter.

This time he no longer hinted, but asked plainly: No matter how important the estate is, how can it compare to the importance of the country?How can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer.If Yizhuang is still short of manpower, and it is not suitable for Fei Yuyu, I will appoint a few people to take over temporarily, which should be enough to deal with it...

After reading it, Lu Ci realized that the little emperor had made up his mind to seduce him, so he felt helpless.

Because filial piety is used to rule the world, officials keep filial piety, Ding You, even Zaifu can't escape.

In extraordinary times such as wars, it is understandable for the monarch to seize affection from those who hold important positions or possess special abilities.

But now the world is at peace, and Xixia, the biggest threat on the northwest front before, had just been discouraged, and retreated to the territory in despair. While cultivating people's morale, while wrestling with Khitan, they also had to guard against Tubo's revenge.Where is the spare power to invade the Central Plains again?

Besides, before Ding You, he had only been promoted to Doctor Censor not long ago, so he was not an indispensable and important position at all.

The little emperor's whimsical appearance is obviously at odds with both emotion and reason, but if there is any sign of it, the two of them will have to be detained together by Yushitai for 'unfilial parents, greed for official position' and 'partial listening and partial belief' , The crime of violating patriarchal law', impeached together, disgraced and ruined reputation.

Lu Ci knew how powerful he was, so he didn't just play it off, but simply stated how powerful he was, so that the little emperor who had been stunned by the previous smoothness would wake up.

After getting Lu Ci's letter this time, Zhao Zhen, who had been blinded by a leaf before, finally realized what was wrong.

Just when he was frustrated and sighed and thought that he would have to wait for more than two years, unexpectedly, just as the twelfth lunar month approached, a great opportunity to recall Lu Ci came crashing down from the northwest.
