Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 520 Feng Hou

  Wen Yansheng's expression was serious, this was his rare seriousness.

  When the gentry first heard that Beiwowei rescued people and came back, many of them couldn't help but have different thoughts in their hearts.

   Those women, I'm afraid they have all been...

  Although it is pitiful, but after all, women's festival has been lost.

  Since they lost their virginity, why didn't they fight desperately? Even if you don't resist, shouldn't you throw yourself into a river or a well?

  But when Tang Yin said that he would treat these women as sisters, everyone was taken aback and couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

Tang Yindao: "How to arrange it, you need to ask your teacher first. Your teacher is the best way. They say that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. I can't protect them for the rest of their lives. If we want to rescue them, we should protect them." , also need to let them support themselves, first please ask the magistrate's office to set aside a piece of land, and the rest will be discussed after reporting to the teacher."

  Wen Yansheng glanced at Tang Yin in admiration.

  This Tang Shixue is really different from other people. Wen Yansheng really admires him, and he is terrified. He always hears Tang Yin talking about his mentor and shutting his mouth about being a mentor, but he doesn't know what kind of person this Tang Yin's mentor is.

  This Uncle Xinjian is really admirable. It must be amazing for someone who can cultivate such a disciple who is capable of writing and martial arts.

  Of course, it’s fine if a person is talented, but if a person is not only talented, but also possesses both ability and political integrity, just like Tang Yin, then... a glimpse of the leopard, what kind of virtuous person should his mentor be.

Wen Yansheng is old, and the officialdom is ups and downs. He has seen more scumbags than he has eaten rice, and seen more scumbags than he has crossed bridges. His people are sinister, especially those rich men, flying eagles and lackeys. , There are prodigals, and there are also those who bully good people. As for the sneaky, playful, and lying people, there are countless people like crucian carp crossing the river.

On the other hand, that Uncle Xinjian, compared with these so-called wealthy sons, is really fresh and refined, with a noble character, and he is tolerant of both literary and martial arts. Although I, Wen Yansheng, am not a high-ranking official, I am also a person of conscience. If one day I can pay a visit to this person and see his demeanor, I don't know how lucky it will be.

"These things are easy to talk about. Don't worry, Tang Shixue. Tang Shixue treats them like sisters. Then, they are also sisters of my Wen Yansheng. If you need to do something, just open your mouth. I, Wen Yansheng, can't do it. I made a mistake, and it chilled people's hearts. From now on, I will sew my mouth shut." I will never eat fish again in my life.”

  The other gentry laughed awkwardly, and one gentry said: "Yes, yes, Tang Shixue and Wen Zhifu, who love the people like their own children, are our role models."

  Everyone nodded their heads one after another. In fact, their moral values ​​may not be able to accept this.

   What they have learned since childhood is to appreciate the women of Zhenlie.

  It seems that when a man touches her hand, she will go home and chop off her arm; or if she is treated lightly by a man, she will hang herself immediately. If she is a widow, she must keep her chastity and cut her hair.

   Those spoiled women are still alive, this is really troublesome.

   But even so, they are all relying on Tang Shi to learn now. Fish, the Beiwawei has to find fish quickly. If there is no fish, what should we do?

  So, they all smiled and decided to reluctantly agree with these women who refused to die.

Tang Yin seemed to see what they were thinking: "I'm afraid the fish in Ningbo Mansion are scarce for this preparation. I want to train a fishing boat fleet and recruit people to go fishing. Now there are fish in the water village. The captured ships also included sea ships dispatched from the Penglai Water Village. There are already five or six ships, large and small. increased several times."

  When everyone heard this, they smiled happily and said one after another: "Tang Shixue loves the people like a son, I admire you."

   "There is also our prefect Wen, who is also a person who loves the people. We go up and down, and no one knows that the parents and officials of Ningbo Mansion are clean and honest, plan for the people, and live up to the entrustment of the court."

   "It's extremely, it's extremely. What a good official."

  Everyone talked a lot, almost boasting Tang Yin and Wen Yansheng to the sky.

These people are all local gentry, they have mastered the public opinion of the whole area, most of the local juren and scholars come from their families, and those who can talk about national affairs are of course scholars, who they say is better, naturally Whoever is good, whoever is said to be bad, will naturally be bad.

Tang Yin smiled slightly: "Speaking of which, on the way back this time, I caught some sea prawns, which were as big as a forearm. Governor Wen and you all, why not come to the water village tonight, I will order someone to cook them, and serve them with wine, how about ?”

   Tang Yin has passed the age of cynicism.

  Naturally know that these gentry are not kind.

   But so what.

  What you have to do, you cannot avoid these people.

  Instead of making these people a hindrance, let them be your help.

Wen Yansheng's eyes lit up, but he stroked his beard happily: "No, no, what is this big sea prawn, although I haven't seen it before, but... since it is a treasure in the sea, I can't take it lightly. Ordinary people, What can be cooked is simply wasteful, so it might as well be like this, the old man will go to see how the lobster is in person later, cook one to taste its taste, and then write a recipe based on the difference in meat quality, and then let people Cook it according to the law, so that the good ingredients will not be wasted just now. Tang Shixue, I am not as good as you in war, I am not as good as you in loving the people, and the ink in this belly may not be as good as you. But when it comes to cooking, you are not Give the old man shoes."

   Tang Yin smiled slightly: "Then... I'm sorry."

  ...

  Emperor Hongzhi was in a very happy mood recently, but because the Empress Dowager was recovering from a serious illness, he didn't dare to neglect.

  Now, although it is only the beginning of winter, the city of Beijing is already snowing heavily. Emperor Hongzhi wears a regular uniform with a fleece padded inside.

  There is no earth dragon burning in the warm pavilion, because they want to save some coal, and some of the internal money that was finally saved were sent to Fang Jifan to make balloons.

  Fang Jifan... how does it feel like he cheated of his money.

  Thinking of silver, although the internal funds are abundant now, especially after the palace has income from the Xishan Coal Mine, it is even more substantial, but this is silver...

   Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi decided to save as much as possible. The earth dragon was replaced by charcoal pots. Several charcoal pots were placed around the warm pavilion, burning anthracite, emitting a trace of heat.

Emperor Hongzhi was sitting, and Liu Jian and others had been waiting for a long time. Ma Wensheng also knelt here happily. Seeing His Majesty arrived, all the officials wanted to get up one after another. At this time, the weather is cold and the ministers still have to worry about state affairs, I feel very uneasy in my heart, come and add some more charcoal basins."

  Emperor Hongzhi was stingy to himself, but he was generous to his courtiers.

Liu Jian said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the newly obtained report, the sweet potatoes and potatoes planted outside the customs have all survived. Not only that, the yield per mu is not small. Although it is not as good as Xishan, it is also far beyond expectations. outside."

"Really?" Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows. There were no crops growing in the desert, so that it was impossible to farm. In the end, it became a pasture for the Tatars. Good thing. "

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "No wonder, that's no wonder."

  Liu Jian couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, why is it so strange?"

Emperor Hongzhi said: "In the early morning, when I went to Renshou Palace, I saw Fang Jifan's sister, Fang Xiaofan. The child was crying at first. When she saw me coming, I kissed her and ordered someone to give her a bottle of milk. Who would have thought that she would go to bed?" Giggling, I'm still surprised, I don't see her very often, and I'm very unfamiliar with her, why she couldn't stop laughing when she saw me today, it turns out... there is a big happy event, haha..."

  Everyone laughed: "Your Majesty, even the girl from the Fang family, can bathe in the emperor's grace, so they can't stop laughing."

  Ma Wensheng took the opportunity to enhance his sense of presence.

  Emperor Hongzhi noticed Ma Wensheng just now: "What's the matter with Ma Qing's family today?"

   "Yes." Ma Wensheng calmed down: "The Ministry of War has drawn up regulations on meritorious deeds and rewards. According to His Majesty, it is time to give Fang Jifan the title of Marquis."

   "Fenghou..." Emperor Hongzhi was a little sad, but... his military achievements are there...

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Well, since that's the case, hand it over, and I'll criticize it."

   "What should I call it?"

Emperor Hongzhi was silent, and he suddenly said: "I came to pick one up in person, might as well...just call it to wait for you, well, this time, it's different from usual, and I didn't follow the rules. The intention of the meeting is to let Fang Jifan do more practical things, and less vain and idle all day long."

   Sincerely waiting...

  Liu Jian and the others looked at each other. It seems that this is the expectation of His Majesty the other party's successor.

  Of course, this greeting is a bit unpleasant.

   You said that someone won the Marquis, you should be happy, but what happened? I am waiting for you. Doesn’t this tell you clearly that you must be more cautious in the future, and you must always rectify yourself, reflect on yourself, and criticize yourself? '

Ma Wensheng said with a smile: "Your Majesty is really a saint. Fang Jifan won this title, and his title is always mentioned by people. Every day, people make side comments, and people call his title day and night, reminding him that he should reflect on himself. This is good for him. It was of great help."

  Liu Jian couldn't help smiling, Xie Qian was also happy, and joined in the fun: "I also think it's very interesting, haha..."

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled, it was rare for him to make a joke with someone.

   And this joke is actually quite funny.

   Seeing that everyone was happy, he was also happy.

  ………
