After raising the emperor, he always wanted to marry me

"The heaven and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is prehistoric, the sun and the moon are full, and the celestial constellations..."

On the busy carriage, Gu Yucheng, the son of a small group, sat on the lap of his father, Han Mochu, reciting articles like a bamboo tube.

He has memorized this "Thousand Characters" very proficiently.

Because of being beaten twice before, Xiao Yucheng always felt itchy in his palms when he recited a certain phrase.

"Lonely and ignorant, ignorant and ignorant. Calling helpers, it's a shame!" After the last sentence, Xiaotuanzi happily clapped his hands to himself: "Cheng'er is awesome!"

"Okay, Cheng'er recited it very well." Han Mochu reached out from the paper bag containing candied fruit and took out a piece of pickled plums and placed it in Xiaotuanzi's palm as a reward.

"Father, look! Daddy gave it to me!" Xiaotuanzi showed off and handed the candied fruit to Gu Xiu.

"Well, that's great."

At this time, Gu Xiuxiu was writing the approval documents for the two urgent military newspapers he received last night.He didn't even notice what the little dumpling beside him was calling him for, but felt that the little dumpling seemed to be feeding him.So he agreed perfunctorily, opened his mouth and ate it.

Xiaotuanzi watched the unheated candied fruit being eaten by his father in one bite. He was stunned for a moment, and then burst into tears: "Wow!!! Mine!!! Give it back to me!!!"

"Huh? What's yours?" Gu Xiu chewed the candied fruit in his mouth for no apparent reason, and let Xiaotuanzi tear up his sleeve robe in tears: "Why are you crying?"

"My candied fruit, my..." Xiaotuanzi thumped Gu Xiu twice without pain, then turned his head and buried his little head in Han Mochu's arms: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

"Okay, don't cry, just get you another one." Han Mochu patted Xiaotuanzi's back speechlessly: "Gu Yunchi sees what you've done."

"Me? What did I do?" After eating a candied fruit, Gu Xiu still didn't understand why.

Inside the carriage, it was extremely lively.

One was crying, one was coaxing, and the other was out of the situation.

Five days ago, they left Guangling Mansion, traveled by water for three days through Chuzhou and Wenzhou, and now turned to a dry road to Taizhou.

The destination of their trip is Linhai County, Taizhou.

It was the most affluent state capital of Dazhou in Han Mochu's first impression.

The annual revenue from business tax alone is as high as 560 million taels, which is equivalent to the sum of four or five poor states in the south of Lingnan and central Guizhou.

Last year, Han Mochu and Shen Yuyang of the Taizhou government were promoted to officials, and he was commended for his ability to govern the land, and asked him to draw up a "Government Strategy" for dissemination to local officials.

Shen and Yang planned to mention in that booklet: "Taizhou is near the sea, and there are often sea water trafficking operations. It connects to the Ryukyu Islands. The Lianbang belongs to sixteen states. Communications are scarce, and exchanges of what is needed can make huge profits."

This state belongs to sixteen states, which are the sixteen small islands and reefs that Gu Xiu led his troops to conquer for the last time before he ascended the throne.

In just six years, these sixteen small coastal countries have changed their appearance with the support of the Great Zhou, and have begun to trade with the territory of the Great Zhou.

Under the whole world, could it be the king's land.

Leading the coast of the earth, is it a king minister.

The two of them traveled this time to see all the places far away from the emperor, so as not to be fooled by the local officials in the future.

Moreover, if the government of one area near the sea can be implemented throughout the whole country, the whole country will be rich.

The four-year-old Xiaotuanzi was very simple-minded, after being coaxed by Han Mochu to wipe away his snot and tears, he happily hugged Gu Xiu's neck and called his father happily.

After a while, Xiaotuanzi's eyes became heavy due to the bumping of the carriage, and he fell asleep hanging on Gu Xiu's chest.

Han Mochu supported the little guy's forehead to help Gu Xiu lay the sleeping child flat in the carriage, and pulled a blanket to cover Xiaotuanzi to prevent the baby from catching cold.

"This child is the most lovable only when he is asleep." Gu Xiu sighed involuntarily as he looked at the peaceful sleeping face.

"If you don't eat his candied fruit, he won't cry." Han Mochu's eyes were wrong, and the corners of his mouth raised, with a sense of accomplishment: "He never messed around with me."

Suddenly, the car body trembled violently, shaking the little one who had just fallen asleep, almost waking him up.

The car stopped, and Xionghu's rough voice came from outside the carriage: "What are you doing! We are taking the car!"

"I beg this good man, please help me, please help me." It was a man's panting voice: "Good man, please help me!"

Gu Xiu patted the baby who was about to wake up a few times, coaxing the baby back to sleep, and then raised his voice: "Old bear, who is there?"

"Outside, it's a blood man!"

Xiong Hu's unclear answer made Gu Xiu have to lift the curtain to look at it by himself.

I saw a ragged, unkempt man standing outside the carriage.

The man was wearing gray linen single clothes, one of the shoes on his feet was missing, grass roots and tree sticks were stuck between the disheveled and withered hair, his face was covered with dried blood, and even his facial features could not be seen clearly. .

No wonder, Xiong Hu, who has always been straightforward, would say that the person outside is a blood man.

When the "blood man" saw someone poking his head inside the carriage, he immediately sank his knees, knelt down and clasped his fists, and began to report his family name: "My lord, the villain's name is Chen Zhun, and he is from Linhai County, Taizhou. This time he brought the goods back from Jialing." In the village, I met bandits on the road, and my money and goods were robbed, I beg you to take me for a ride, and I will thank you very much in the future."

After Chen Zhun said, he kowtowed to Gu Xiu again and again until his head almost died.

"Old Xiong, help him up." Gu Xiu put down the curtain and retreated into the car, and said to Han Mochu who was behind him, "It's a passerby who is in trouble. I'll let him come up to avoid it."

As soon as Gu Xiu finished speaking, "Blood Man" Chen Zhun was picked up by Xiong Hu by the collar and lifted into the car.

Before Chen Zhun could sit still, he knelt down in front of Gu Xiu and the two of them again: "Thank you two benefactors for saving me! This great benefactor should be repaid with my own body!"

"You don't need to be too polite, sir, please wipe your face first and drink some water." Han Mochu politely handed the man a water bag, and took a clean handkerchief.

"Thank you very much." Chen Zhun took the water bag and gulped a few big gulps, then whispered timidly for several days: "My lords, this place is not very peaceful, let's go first."

The carriage moved again under Chen Zhun's reminder.

Chen Zhun drank up the water sac thrown by Han Mochu like a cow, and then wiped the blood on his face with a handkerchief.

When Han Mochu reached out his hand and handed him another piece of dry food, Chen Zhun's eyes filled with tears in an instant, raised the heels of his palms and wiped it again and again, holding the dry food, he told these two about his experience of the rest of his life after the catastrophe.

Two days ago, he took more than 20 assistants and escorted three carts of sangsi produced in Jialing to return to Taizhou by detour. When he reached the pass, he encountered more than 50 robbers walking in the green forest.

That group of people just robbed goods and money, and blindfolded them, took off his clothes and pushed him off the top of the pass.

He crawled in the grass for a day and a night, finally climbed to the side of the official road, and met Gu Xiu and Han Mochu's carriage.

God is sorry, the climate here is mild in southern Xinjiang. If it were the winter gale in the north this month, he would have been frozen before he could climb a few steps.

"When I used to travel this way, I only need to prepare one or two hundred silver for management, but this time I met a group of desperadoes." Chen Zhun sucked the blockage stuck in his nasal cavity, and sighed: "If you don't If I meet two benefactors, I am afraid that my life will be gone by now."

"Since you know that there are bandits here, why don't you go directly to the official road?" After hearing Chen Zhun's words, Gu Xiu unconsciously asked: "The official road has soldiers stationed all year round, in order to protect the road. The people are safe and sound."

"Engong, if you don't go into business, you don't understand. If I take the official road this trip, the road post will be exploited layer by layer, and I won't even have [-]% of the goods left in Taizhou." Chen Zhun raised two fingers and said bluntly: "Xiaolu Although it is dangerous, but six out of ten can pass safely, so it is more cost-effective to go the wrong way.”

"According to the business laws of my Great Zhou, expensive things like Sangsi only have a premium tax of [-]%." Han Mochu replied: "Since the new emperor ascended the throne in Great Zhou, corruption and dereliction of duty have been strictly prohibited. How dare the local officials on the post road be so blatant? ?”

"Yes, of course. Nowadays, the government is doing a lot. How many greenhouses and new houses have the government built for the poor in this year alone in our village?" Chen Zhun spread his hands: "Only the rules on the official road post road can be compared with The officialdom is different. When you pass by here, you will naturally have to check, and if you want to check quickly, you will naturally have to give money. Nowadays, corruption is the most hated, so they don’t want money, but only detain goods. One person deducts two or three cents, how much along the way Stuck at the point, when you get to the local area, you can only leave [-]% of the original. If you say no, then the plate will be checked for ten or eight days. You have weapons in your hand, and you burn all your brains, isn't it the same as losing everything?"

"Since it is such a matter of stealing and plundering, don't the local government know how to control it?" Gu Xiu asked rhetorically.

"Care, how can you not care? This time, the master of the government is in charge." Chen Zhun replied: "Next time you walk from this post road, the inspection tax will be turned over directly. It is the same back and forth. Just take As for Jialing Sangsi, I bought goods from the silk farmers in Jialing, and a car was only more than 200 taels of silver. I passed the post along the way to Taizhou, and I could convert it to 2000 taels. But we, the buyer and the seller, never made much. Most of it was earned by the post road official road."

Chen Zhun's words made the hearts of the monarch and his ministers sink.

They have been committed to people's livelihood and implemented the New Deal since the founding of Yongding Dynasty.

Why have I been doing it for so many years, seeing that the national power is getting stronger and stronger, and the redundant officials are getting fewer and fewer.

Unexpectedly, in the small place that they couldn't see, there were still filth and evil practices.

Merchants would rather risk their lives to visit those deserted villages and wild roads than take the official road of the imperial court.In the eyes of merchants in the Great Zhou Dynasty, officials and government officials are even more terrifying than bandits in the green forest.

"You two benefactors, what are you two going to Taizhou this time?" Chen Zhun became more energetic after eating two pieces of dry food, and then asked the two monarchs and ministers opposite: "Are you looking for relatives or Visiting friends, is there anyone who can help me?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I've been in the capital for a long time, and I want to take this child to see the local customs. It is said that Taizhou Linhai County is rich and rich, the folk customs are simple, and you can see the water transport wharf, which can give this child a lot of insight." Han Mochu Helping up the drowsy little dumpling, this little dumpling was often used by them as an excuse to save them from the siege along the way.

"It's a coincidence! It's a coincidence! My brother-in-law is from Linhai County, a commoner, known as Baiyuanwai. He is kind and hospitable." Chen Zhun's eyes lit up after speaking: "Oh! It's not as good as the two benefactors You will come home with me, and you two will save my life, so I will naturally return to the host!"

Hundreds of people?Han Mochu secretly read a sentence.

Bai is an uncommon surname.

When he entered Beijing to unveil the rankings, he brought a boy named Baili with him. He was smart and diligent, with quick hands and feet, but his mouth was very broken.

From the moment he opened his eyes every day, that mouth never stopped.

On the way from Guangling to Beijing, his ears were stuffed with three layers of cotton, which sometimes couldn't resist the penetrating power of the boy's mouth.

So much so that to this day, he still has a deep impression on that boy.

He remembered that he gave the young man 100 taels of silver the night before he entered the palace, and he didn't know where this man went now.

***

Two or three days later, the carriage of the monarch and his ministers arrived in front of a deep house in the direction pointed by Chen Zhun.

Chen Zhun also took advantage of these two or three days to change his clothes and wash his face, sweeping away his previous downfall.

"You two benefactors, wait a minute. I'll let my family come out to meet you." After finishing speaking, Chen Zhun got out of the carriage.

The old housekeeper who was waiting in front of the door recognized Chen Zhun at a glance, went up and grabbed him by the wrist: "Master Zhun, you are back, Madam is going crazy at home!"

Chen Zhun dragged the old housekeeper into the gate, and Han Mochu also dragged Gu Xiu out of the carriage.

In a short while, a large group of people came out of the compound, the leader was only about thirty years old, wearing a dark brown official coat, with a long thin face and two sparse beards growing on his chin.

As he walked, the man said like a cannonball: "Where is Engong? Where is Engong? How did you meet Engong? Did Engong save you from injury? Engong..."

The man walked in front of Han Mochu, suddenly froze, gradually couldn't suppress the redness of his eyes, and strangled Han Mochu's arm with lightning speed: "Young master! Young master! Do you still remember me? Young master! Young master, I It's Baili! Young Master, why are you ignoring me! Young Master!"

On that day, Han Mochu still recalled those days and nights when he and the servant faced each other for hundreds of miles more than ten years ago.

He had never wished so seriously to be deaf before.
