Poor family mother and son

Chapter 483 Let them live a little longer

Shui Damao looked at the playground half-heartedly, and suddenly said: "Brother Xiaoshan and the others let him go!"

Little BMW stood up and looked out the window. Sure enough, the gate of the college opened, and people went out one after another.

Those who let go are the parents of those students, and those parents who were the most violent at the beginning, crying and clamoring to pick up their children, a few people guard one, and mix the old woman, the poisoner and others in the crowd to set the rhythm and pick right and wrong Everyone is keeping a close eye on it.

Shui Damao was worried: "The people from the board of directors haven't come back yet, so they let them go like this. What if there are still some villains mixed in?"

Xiaobao replied: "It's okay, Xiaoshan and the others know what they want, they have to let go, after all, they are a group of people being used by others, even if there are still people mixed in, they have to be released to report."

Shui Damao: "Unexpectedly, we haven't taken action to deal with them, but they have struck first."

Little Treasure nodded: "Ninety-nine percent of the time it was the Meng family who did it, but even if they really didn't do it this time, they still have to clean it up. Unfortunately, I've been too busy recently. By the way, have all the men who followed the Meng family reported back? "

Shui Damao also just returned to the academy with Xiaobao, so he didn't know about it, so he said, "You should rest first, I'll ask them to come over and ask later."

Xiao Bao originally planned to find out what was going on with the Meng family, so he would "take down" all the people and goods, but he knew that Jia Yanyao was looking for him, so he went to Chongyu Mansion first.

Things have to be done one by one.

However, during this period of time, the "May [-]th" people dressed up as beggars, shopkeepers, and blind fortune-tellers, chasing and intercepting news of the Meng family in various streets, it was still very rewarding.

Because of the emperor's decree, the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River was in turmoil. A group of villains were executed, a group of middle-level officials with a small foundation were confiscated, and a group of real power factions were relegated. Therefore, it can be said that the middle and low-level officials in each state capital A "big shakeup" took place.

Correspondingly, the business circles in the south of the Yangtze River also became busy. Some businessmen "bleeded heavily" to ensure safety;

The Meng family is the last one.

Meng Chun didn't stay in Songjiang Mansion, he went to Fuzhou Mansion to "open up a new world".

In Fuzhou Prefecture, three daughters of their Meng family married here. In the name of visiting his niece and niece, he asked several sons-in-law of Dangzhi County to inquire about the news of the new magistrate.

The magistrate of Fuzhou Prefecture was relegated, and in exchange for a new magistrate, Meng Chun hoped to reach a good relationship with him.

Fuzhou Prefecture is the location of the largest tea garden owned by the Meng family, but this is not important. What is really important is that there is an iron mine here, which can provide convenience for the Meng family to smuggle.

This time the original magistrate was only found out about reselling official food and was relegated, but the private reselling of iron ore was not exposed, which made Meng Chun heave a sigh of relief, but also cut off the way to escort him.

But the new magistrate arrived, and Meng Chun wanted to test the new official's temperament, because he didn't want to give up the iron mine.

This iron mine is located in the northern part of Fuzhou Prefecture, at the junction with Songjiang Prefecture. For the Meng family, it is very convenient to smuggle iron ore. Cross-border, it is easy to control.

"It's been half a month, and I don't know when I'll be back." Shui Duanfu finally said.

The "May [-]th" are all young and do not have a name or surname, because they are all picked up from the river, and some are carried back from the cemetery, and most of them are abandoned babies.

The older ones, those with names and surnames, don't want to think of those names again. Since they have been abandoned, why do they still keep those names!
So, Shui Maomao asked them to have a unified surname of "Duan", the Duan of the Dragon Boat Festival, but the children were not happy, so they all had the surname Shui, and in the end, it became Shui Duan or something.

Hou Ze has some exceptions. Although he met Shui Maomao in his teens, he refused to be named Hou and insisted on calling him Shui Ze. In the end, Shui Maomao asked him to keep his name, because "a person must have roots, and he must know who he is. how come".

But Hou Zefei wants to always say that he is called Shui Houze to the outside world, and give Shui Maomao, the benefactor, the "naming right". On the other hand, being called Shui Houze is almost the same as Shui Maomao's nickname "Water Monkey", awe-inspiring!
The one who is now reporting Meng Chun's movements is called Shui Duanfu.

And Shui Duangui said: "Meng Xiansheng is still with the other three 'Ya' during this time, and their relationship is still very good on the surface, but I heard that the fourth son of the Yao family who intended to marry Meng Xiansheng's cousin, It seems like you’ve stopped talking about it.”

The Yao family is the largest grain merchant in Songjiang Mansion, and the fourth son is the favorite son of the head of the Yao family. Originally, Meng Xiansheng wanted to marry his cousin under Meng Chun's instruction.

After all, to become the largest grain merchant, the relationship with the government can be seen - Patriarch Yao's cousin-in-law is the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture, and the relationship between the cousins ​​has been good since childhood.

Especially this time because of the official food incident, the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture was able to retreat completely, and the Yao family was not affected in any way, which shows that the foundation is deep.

Iron government office, running water magistrate.

The prefect of Songjiang Prefecture was transferred to this place two years ago, and he was considerate. The Meng family had not been able to "establish a deep friendship" with the prefect, so it was a good choice to marry a relative with the Yao family.

It's a pity that people don't mention this intention now.

It seems that the title of "the head of the Four Elegances" is somewhat influential.

Shui Duangui: "The magistrate manages the government office tightly. During this turmoil, only some officials in the government office were dismissed. Meng Xiansheng is currently contacting the newly appointed officials, as well as the magistrates of several nearby counties."

There is no major problem in the government office, and it seems that the problem is resolved to the local area, so the county magistrates are unlucky and replaced a lot.

On the contrary, this year's new batch of Scholars have benefited and did not wait too long. Less than three months after the imperial examination, they were given the opportunity to be "probationary commissioners", filling the vacancies of low-level officials in various places.

"Trial commissioning" is just a trial, but as long as there are no mistakes in principle, it will basically be settled.

According to the official avoidance system, when appointing officials, in order to prevent favoritism and malpractice, not only can they not be officials in their hometown, but also in places where they have property.

And the current emperor, with the idea of ​​purging the old and corrupt officials, even selected some Jinshi from poor families as officials.

After more than ten years, even more than twenty years of cold windows, the poor families who have not been "frozen to death" finally ushered in their "spring".

So Meng Xiansheng just wanted to take advantage of these low-level low-level officials when they took office, corrupt them with material, and open the door for family business.

This is not only done by the Meng family, almost all businessmen will do the same.

Xiaobao asked: "Hasn't their family shipped recently?"

Shui Duanfu replied: "Not recently, I guess there will be no action until Meng Chun comes back."

Xiaobao nodded.

That's right, the turmoil in the officialdom has not yet ended, and it is estimated that the policies of various places will be adjusted for a period of time, so this period is the most difficult, and no one dares to make big moves.

Furthermore, apart from the Jiangnan area, the drought in other places is very serious. "The real economic foundation is grain reserves."

As small as three meals a day, as large as regime change, once there is a problem with the food supply, it is difficult to do business with various businesses.

Then don't worry, let them live a little longer for the time being.
