Daming: I'm rotten, my father is Hu Weiyong

Chapter 57

The beginning of spring in the first month.

The spring outside Jinling City is still cold, but the cold winter is over and the weather is getting warmer.

The season has entered the spring, and the endless green seedlings in the field began to grow faster.

Hu Hanshan didn't go to Tongjimen Dianmao on this day, but went to Jiangning County on the outskirts of Jinling with his father Hu Weiyong.

Paste spring cattle, beat spring cattle.

To show encouragement.

The Jiangning County Government has long hired a paper maker to tie up the skeleton of a spring cow with bamboo strips and the legs of the cow with spring wood.

Paste red and yellow paper, and the grain harvest will be plentiful in that year, and paste black paper, and the grain harvest in that year will not be good.

Hu Weiyong and others arrived in Jiangning County on a silk and bat-patterned official sedan chair. A spring ox covered with a lot of red and yellow paper had already been painted.

The county magistrate of Jiangning and the third class and the sixth room in charge of the case were already waiting in the spacious area beside the stage, and set up the incense case.

Hu Weiyong got off the official satin sedan chair with bat pattern and walked to Chunniu.

All the officials and common people in Jiangning County bowed down immediately: "I pay my respects to Prime Minister Zuo."

Hu Weiyong's serious old face remained unchanged, and he made a gesture of support, signaling the officials and common people in Jiangning County to stand up.

Then he picked up a big hairbrush and finished Chunniu's eyes.

Chunniu nodded his eyes, and the paste Chunniu was completely finished.

Hu Weiyong led all the officials and people to worship in front of the incense table, praying for a good harvest for a year.

After the pasting of the spring cattle, Hu Weiyong took the officials to the spring shed next to the official field outside the county seat.

In the spring shed, there is a clay spring ox made of mulberry wood as a bone.

Hu Weiyong picked up the whip, and in the lively atmosphere of the people of the whole county, smashed Chun Niu with a 'slap'.

"The five grains are plentiful!"

"There must be a good harvest this year."

"I heard that Prime Minister Zuo is the one who hunted the spring cattle himself. This year's harvest is sure to be good."

Hu Hanshan was surrounded by layer after layer, ordinary people could not see the end, and the atmosphere of harvest was very strong.

The common people are celebrating and lively, and the auspicious spring of the beginning of spring is everywhere.

Hu Hanshan didn't have much auspicious spring in his heart, he numbly followed his father Hu Weiyong to participate in various customs of Lichun.

It has been 11 years since the beginning of spring, and there are only one year and nine months left before the "Hu Weiyong case" in September next year.

In addition, when I came to Jiangning County this time, all the princes of the Hu Party came.

Tang Shengzong, Marquis of Yan'an, Lu Zhongheng, Marquis of Ji'an, Mei Sizu, Marquis of Runan, Zheng Yuchun, Marquis of Xingyang, Zhu Liangzu, Marquis of Yongjia, Luju, Marquis of Henan
No wonder next year the "Hu Weiyong Case" will be raised. Any other emperor would feel his scalp tingling when he saw so many Hou Ye with heavy armies forming partisans.

Hu Hanshan's scalp was more numb than the emperor's, he was wearing a thick silk jacket, and his hands and feet were cold.

The only consolation is that Fu Youde, one of the two most numerous masters in the old department, did not follow.

Hu Hanshan used "Sixth Three Tibetans" to show bad results, and the effect was remarkable, which caused a rift between Fu Youde and Hu Weiyong.

Although he did not explicitly say he would sever ties with the Hu party, he has been reduced from being a close friend of marriage to not having much contact with each other.

Encouraging farming is not a celebration banquet, so many princes gathered together for state affairs, or the most important spring plowing for Ming Dynasty.

There are many Jinyiwei fanzi among the common people, who are only responsible for monitoring.

Hu Hanshan numbly followed his father Hu Weiyong to complete the early spring persuasion, and went back in an official sedan chair with satin and bat patterns.

On the way back, there was only one thought.

Lie flat.

Put badly.

Hurrying back to Prime Minister Zuo's mansion, apart from Hu Weiyong, Hu Hanshan and his son, there was also Zhang Youwen, who was in charge of the case in Jiangning County.

Hu Weiyong, as Prime Minister Zuo of the first rank, brought a subordinate official who was not even the ninth rank from the county government office to handle the case, which must have some deep meaning.

Hu Weiyong just said: "My father has already told His Majesty that you will repair the pipe trench in the next period of time."

After speaking, Hu Weiyong was ready to rush to the palace.

Before leaving, Hu Weiyong said one more sentence: "If you do this well, being a father will allow you to be transferred from the five cities' soldiers and horses by virtue of your political achievements, and go to Jinwu Guard to do a job. Sit in the position of commander of the Jinwu Guard."

Commander of the Jinwu Guard? !
Hu Hanshan hadn't recovered from the misery of having so many princes in the Hu party, when he heard that his father Hu Weiyong was going to arrange for him to be the commander of the Jinwu Guard.

Totally numb.

This is forcing Emperor Hongwu to kill people quickly.

It is estimated that the "Hu Weiyong case" will start soon after being transferred from Wucheng Bingmasi to Jinwuwei, and there is no need to wait until September next year.

But the matter of repairing the pipe ditch was hand-picked by Emperor Hongwu, so he had to go.

Hu Hanshan had no choice but to play badly.

When Zuo Prime Minister Hu Weiyong left the mansion, Zhang Youwen was not stage fright at all when he heard that a small subordinate official.

Zhang Youwen cupped his hands neither humble nor overbearing: "Hu Xiaoqi, let's go to the Dazhong Bridge to inspect the situation of the pipe trench, and then discuss how to repair it."

As a petty subordinate in the county government, he should bow down and flatter him.

Zhang Youwen didn't mean to flatter him at all, nor did he promise to brag about his abilities in front of Prime Minister Zuo's eldest son.

Grab the only opportunity to jump over the dragon's gate, and become the master of Prime Minister Zuo's eldest son forever.

Zhang Youwen's neither humble nor overbearing and pragmatism aroused Hu Hanshan's appreciation. No wonder Zuo Prime Minister Hu Weiyong would bring over a low-profile household manager.

For the time being, he became the master who planned and planned by Hu Hanshan's side, and dealt with the matter of repairing the gutter, instead of choosing from among the many Hu party officials.

Hu Hanshan took Zhang Youwen to the Dazhong Bridge. This time, the renovation of the pipe ditch mainly focused on the Dazhong Bridge.

Zhang Youwen got off the bullock cart and looked at the houses with black bricks and black tiles on both sides of Jinling Avenue.

After observing carefully for a long time, Zhang Youwen shook his head: "In front of the houses in Damingfu County, according to the regulations, official trenches have been built, which are often called pipe trenches."

"It is used for drainage to ensure the cleanliness of the prefecture and county."

Zhang Youwen pointed to the nearby houses, and introduced them attentively: "Look here, these eaves extending outward are called virtual eaves and draped eaves, and they must be lined with the official ditch, and cannot go beyond the official ditch.

Otherwise, the official ditch will be blocked.

After the rainy season, Guangou cannot be drained, and the waterways are blocked, so there will be sudden flooding.

Ultimately, it caused waterlogging in the prefecture and county. "

Hu Hanshan understood his father Hu Weiyong's intention to let him repair the pipe ditch, and it was indeed a good policy that benefited officials.

However, most of the houses on both sides of the street are the residences of ordinary people, and the second and third courtyards where officials live are at the back.

As long as the demolition of these houses can really benefit the officials, the people in the market will suffer and become homeless refugees.

Hu Hanshan couldn't help saying: "Jinling was built as early as the Eastern Wu Dynasty, and it has gone through so many dynasties in Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties."

"The people of Daming did not do the occupation of the pipe ditch, but now it is unreasonable for them to bear it."
