Chapter 48 Seven things about making an affair and giving a peach to take a shortcut
The word said: Under the green peach blossoms, let the purple flute play.Suddenly startled, but cared about that person, and shed tears to Dongfeng.

Dongfeng burst into tears, unknowingly touched Luopa secretly, and hated him like the sky.Since the enemy went ruthlessly, what about looking back!

It is said that An Tong led the letter, resigned from Huang Tong, and came to Shandong Avenue.Inquire about the Xunyan Censor who lives in Dongchang Mansion. His surname is Zeng, and his two names are Xiaoxu. He is the son of Zengbu, the capital censor.This An Tong thought to himself: "If I say the person who wrote the book, the person at the door will never let it go. Why don't I wait until the notice board is released, I will kneel down the door and go in, and I will present the book with me. Father will definitely make a decision when he sees it."

So he wrote down the certificate early, put it in his arms, and waited for a long time at the gate of the procuratorate.He only heard the sound of the cloud board playing inside, opened the door, and Zeng Yushi sat in the hall.When the first face card comes out, the big book is to tell the prince, emperor's relatives, son-in-law, and powerful family; the second face card is out, to tell the officials of the capital, cloth, press and military guards; Things.This An Tong went in with the badge, and after all the things had been handed out, he went to the altar and knelt down.Asked from both sides what they do, An Tong just presented the book with both hands high.I only heard Zeng Yushi shouting from the public seat: "Come on!"

In a panic, the left and right officials came down to pick up the book and put it on the book case.Zeng Gong took it apart and looked at it. What words were written on the end?The book said: "The next year, Huang Duansu, a student of Yudu, taught a letter to Mr. Dazhu Shi Shaoting, Mr. Zeng Nian, under the family of Mr. Zeng Nian: Violation of Yueguangyi, suddenly for a year."A confidant is hard to come by, and a good friend is easy to separate.This heart is earnest, always around.Last autumn, I suddenly reported the Yaozhang, opened the scroll and opened the letter, and my mind wandered in a trance while reciting, just like when I was opposite Chang'an.Not long after, brother Nian visited Nanxuan, heard Deyin again, and brother Zhinian visited Qilu, which was very gratifying.Kowtow, kowtow.Wei Nian brother is loyal and filial, and he is chaste and chaste.Today, I am going on a tour, which is the day to pick off the evil of the officials and to correct the morals.A mere love, especially those who cannot be forgotten.It is said that Brother Nian usually holds a tool that can be used. When he is a promising year, in a world of sages and righteousness, when the old man is at home and healthy, he should take advantage of this to display his talents and promote the law. Fiddle with the law, and the treacherous and stubborn people use it to deceive them.Hu Nairu is a mansion in Dongping, but there are those who defy Dafa like Miao Qing, and those who hold great injustice like Miao Tianxiu?Born in a world of sages and sages, there are such sprites.Brother Nian toured this area, just to sort out the grievances and stagnation, and shake the brush to clear it up.Go to accompany Antong, tell him with a warrant, and fortunately inspect it, but don't announce it.

When Zhongchun looked at the last day, Gu Shi had finished his reading of Zeng Yushi, so he asked, "Is there any evidence?"

The left and right came down in a hurry and asked, "The master asked if you have any complaints."

This An Tong took the form from his arms and handed it over.Zeng Gong read it, and took a pen to criticize: "Yang Dongping's official, I will find out from the public, examine the corpse of the prime minister, and report it in detail."

Order An Tong Dongping Mansion to serve.This An Tong quickly kowtowed and let him out from the convenient door.

Here Zeng Gong put the letter of criticism in the envelope, sealed it with Guanfang, and sent someone to send it to Dongping Mansion.When Hu Shiwen, governor of the prefecture, saw the approval from his superiors, he was so panicked that he was at a loss for what to do, so he immediately called Dissibin, the magistrate of Yanggu County, who was born in Wuyang, Henan. Do Di Hun.First, the magistrate of Di County was passing by the west river of Qinghe County, when he suddenly saw a whirlwind in front of the horse's head, and the group did not disperse, only following Di Gongma.Di Xiancheng said: "It's strange!"

Then he reined in the horse and ordered the people on the left and right: "follow this whirlwind, and you must follow to find whereabouts."

The gentleman really came with Ding Xuanfeng, and he stopped near the mouth of Xinhe on seven or eight days, and came back to answer Di Gong's words.Di Gong immediately arrested Li Lao, and with a shovel, he dug a few feet away from the bank, and saw a dead body, which looked like a knife mark on his neck.Order him to inspect and understand, and ask where is in front of him.The gentleman reported: "Not far from here is Cihui Temple."

The county magistrate asked the monks in the temple, and they all said: "Last winter, in the middle of October, the temple saw a dead body coming from the upper reaches and drifting into the harbor because of the water lamp. The elder was merciful, so he took it and buried it. I don't know why. die."

The county magistrate said: "It is clear that all your monks murdered this man and buried him here. He must have money on him, so he refuses to tell the truth."

So I couldn't help but say that first, the elder was hit twice with one hoop, and one hundred knocks with each clip.Report to Mr. Zeng and check again.All the monks complained that they were wronged.Zeng Gong pondered: "Since this monk tried to kill him, his body must be thrown in the river. Why should he be buried on the bank instead? It is suspicious to say that he interfered with the crowd."

Because of the order, all the monks were imprisoned.Nearly two months, I don't want An Tong to come to sue.That is to say, the commissioner escorted Antong to the corpse to make him recognize him.Seeing the corpse, An Tong cried loudly: "It is my master who was injured by the thief, and the knife marks are still there."

So he checked and understood, and returned to Zeng Gong, that is, put all the monks back.While checking the files, Chen San and Weng Ba were put forward for interrogation again, all insisting that Miao Qing was the mastermind.Mr. Zeng was furious, so he sent someone to go to Yangzhou to pick up Miaoqing in the starry night.On the one hand, I wrote this book, and the two members of the Senate and Prosecution Court asked officials about the law of receiving stolen goods and selling them.It's exactly: dirty officials and corrupt officials abused the country's punishment, and Zeng Gong sentenced him to clear up his grievances.Although ordering the wind to be quiet, winning or losing in the dream is not always real.

The conversation is divided into two parts, but it shows that since Wang Liu'er got the 100 taels of silver and four sets of clothes from Miao Qing's office, he and his man Han Daoguo have been busy day and night, and have not slept all night. The tailor comes to cut the clothes, and draws a new silver silk bun.With 16 taels of silver, I bought another girl—named Chunxiang—to order, and sooner or later I will teach Han Daoguo to accept it.

One day, Ximenqing went to Han Dao country, and Wang Liuer followed him.After having tea inside, Ximen Qing went to the back to wash his hands, saw the platform next door, and asked, "Whose family is it?"

Wang Liu'er said, "It's the Lesanjia platform next door."

Ximenqing told Wang Liuer: "How to teach him to cover this side of Fengshui? You tell him, if you don't tell me, you can dismantle it, and I will teach him to tell him."

Wang Liu'er said to Han Daoguo, "how can you tell your neighbor?"

Han Daoguo said: "Let's hide it from my father and buy a few wooden plants. Let's set up a platform here. The sauce is dried on the top, and the bottom is not limited to a horse workshop. It is also a good thing to do a Dongjing."

The wife said: "Hey! The thief didn't plan. It's better to buy some bricks and tiles than to build a platform. It's not good to build two buildings?"

Han Daoguo said: "Building two mansions is worse than building two small houses on one floor."

So he spent 30 taels of silver to build two bungalows.Ximen Qing sent Da'an'er to bring a lot of wine, meat and sesame cakes to reward the craftsmen with his family.No one on that street knows.

Xia Tixing won several hundred taels of silver at home, and sent his son Xia Chengen, Nian, to study martial arts and became a student.Invite teachers and friends every day to learn how to bow and horse.There is no need to elaborate on Ximen Qing's appointment with Liu Xue, the Second Minister of Internal Affairs, Zhou Shoubei, Jing Dujian, Zhang Tuanlian, and Hewei officials.

Ximen Qing had a newly built Shanzi roll shed house on the grave. Since he gave birth to Guan Ge and became a thousand households, he has not worshiped his ancestors on the grave.Asked Mr. Yinyang Xu to look at it, and built a new tomb gate, built a Mingtang and a sacred road, planted peach willows at the head of the gate, pines and cypresses around the gate, and slope peaks on both sides.When I go to the grave on Qingming Day, I have to replace the brocade plaque, slaughter pigs and sheep, and set the table.On Qingming on the sixth day of March, invitations were issued in advance, and many people were invited to carry things, wine and rice, meals, vegetables, musicians, jugglers, and performers.The young children are Li Ming, Wu Hui, Wang Zhu, and Zheng Feng; the singers are Li Guijie, Wu Yiner, Han Jinchuan, and Dong Jiaoer.Officials and guests invited Zhang Tuanlian, Qiao Dahu, Uncle Wu, Uncle Wu, Uncle Hua, Uncle Shen, Earl Ying, Xie Xida, Buddy Fu, Han Daoguo, Yun Lishou, Ben Dichuan and his son-in-law Chen Jingji, etc. More than twenty people.The guests invited Mrs. Zhang Tuanlian, Zhang's mother, Mrs. Qiao Dahu, Mrs. Zhu Taiguan, Mrs. Shang Juren, Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Er, Miss Yang, Grandma Pan, Mrs. Hua, Aunt Wu, Aunt Meng, and Mrs. Zheng, Wu Shunchen's daughter-in-law. , Cui Ben's wife, Sister Duan, and at home, Wu Yueniang, Li Jiaoer, Meng Yulou, Pan Jinlian, Li Ping'er, Sun Xue'e, Sister Ximen, Chunmei, Yingchun, Yuxiao, Lanxiang, and Naizi Ruyier, holding Guan Geer, There are also 24 five sedan chairs inside and outside.First, Yue Niang said to Ximen Qing: "You don't need to teach the child to go to the grave. It has not been a week since the first visit, and the two mothers-in-law Liu said that the child [悤页] door has not yet grown up and is timid. When I arrived at the grave It's a long way to go, just to scare him. I don't want to teach him to go, and leave Naizi and Lao Feng to be his companions at home, and just teach his mother and son to go."

Ximen Qing didn't listen, and said, "Why are you here? Two of his mothers don't come to the grave to have a kowtow with their ancestors! Do you believe that old whore's nonsense, but it's because the child's door is not full yet. Teach the grandma to be wrapped in a quilt, and hold the child tightly in the sedan chair, what are you afraid of?"

That Yueniang said: "If you don't listen to others, it's up to you."

From early in the morning, all the guests got up from home, got up and got on the sedan chair, without saying a word.

Go out of the south gate and go to the ancestral grave five miles away. From a distance, you can see lush green pines and dense green cypresses. Chiseled from white jade.On the gate of the tomb, there is a plaque on Xin'an, with a large book "Jinyi Wulue General Ximen's First Tomb". The front of the tomb is surrounded by earth and mountains, with intertwined forests and trees.Ximenqing wears a red crown and sets up tables and seats for sacrifices of pigs and sheep.Officials and guests are sacrificed, and hall guests are sacrificed.Sound instruments, gongs and drums, and beat them together.The official brother kowtowed in the bosom of the grandma, breathed his last, not daring to move.Yueniang called: "Sister Li, why don't you teach the grandma to carry the baby and go to the back? Look at the way you speak! I said don't teach the baby, you are so strong, just teach him to carry him. .Look at that bastard's appearance!"

Li Ping'er hurried down and told Dai'an, "Stop the gongs and drums."

He hurriedly covered the baby's ears, and quickly hugged him to the back.

After a while, after the sacrifice, Mr. Xu read the sacrificial text and burned the paper.Ximen Qing invited officials and guests to sit in the front seat.Yueniang invites guests to enter from the garden in the rolling shed at the back, with pine walls and bamboo paths on both sides, surrounded by flowers and plants, stretching as far as the eye can see.Exactly: The pink willows and green warblers weaving are all created by Dongjun.

At the moment, the performers are playing in the roll shed and the guests are watching, the four little Youer are playing and singing in front of the official guests' seats in the front hall.The four singers take turns serving wine.Chunmei, Yuxiao, Lanxiang, and Yingchun were all holding pots of wine above the diners, and standing at the eldest sister's table, eating soup, rice and snacks together.

After eating once, Pan Jinlian, Yulou, eldest sister, sister Li Gui, and Wu Yin'er went to the garden to play on the swing.It turned out that behind the rolling shed, Ximen Qing tidied up three rooms, one bright and two dark.Inside, there are bed curtains, tables and chairs, combing cages, mirrors, dressing tables, etc., ready for the guests to come to the grave, where they dress up and rest. The paste is as clean as a snow cave, and the hanging calligraphy and paintings are chic.Ruyi, the grandma, is the caretaker brother, sleeping on a small quilt on the gold-sprinkled kang, and Yingchun is also playing with him.I saw Pan Jinlian coming suddenly from the garden alone, holding a branch of peach blossom in her hand, and seeing Yingchun, she said, "So you didn't serve on it all day."

Yingchun said: "There are Chunmei, Lanxiang, and Yuxiao up there. My mother asked me to come down to see my brother, so I took two plates of snacks to eat with Ruyi."

Seeing Jinlian coming, Naizi picked up Brother Guan.Jin Lian then teased him and said, "Little glib, when you see gongs and drums beating in your head, you can't make a sound of bluffing, so you are such a coward."

So he untied the lotus root silk jacket, took the child in his arms, and kissed him mouth to mouth.Suddenly Chen Jingji lifted the curtain and walked in. Seeing Jinlian teasing the child, he teased the child too.Jin Lian said: "Young Taoist priest, you should kiss your brother-in-law too."

But suddenly something strange happened, and the official brother looked at him and smiled.Jingji couldn't help but hugged the child and kissed him several times.Jin Lian scolded: "Strange short life, someone's own child, scratched people's hairs!"

Jingji laughed and said, "You still said that I kissed you right earlier."

When Jinlian heard this, she was afraid that the grandma would look at Ke, so she became embarrassed, turned the fan in her hand upside down, and hit him like a crucian carp.Cursed: "Strange short life, who is talking like you!"

Jingji said: "No, you old man feel sorry for some love. If you are wearing a single dress, just hit it!"

Jin Lian said: "I usually feel sorry for myself? From now on, if you provoke me, just hit me blindly."

Seeing him being stubborn, Ruyi quickly took Guan Geer and hugged her, while Jinlian and Jingji joked together.Jin Lian made a circle with the branch of peach blossom, and put it on Jingji's hat quietly.Going out, it happened that Meng Yulou, eldest sister, and sister Gui came from there.When the eldest sister saw it, she asked, "Who is doing this for a living?"

Jingji took it off without saying a word.There are four major folds in the play before the guest.But see: the sunlight flickers outside the window, and the flower shadow seats in front of the banquet move.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ximen Qing ordered Ben Si to spread out a bowl of wine, four biscuits, and a plate of cooked meat for each person carrying the sedan chair, and then get up the sedan chair for the guests.The officials got up behind them, and Lai Xing'er and the cook slowly lifted the food box behind them.Dai'an, Lai'an, Huatong, Qitong'er and Yueniang all carried sedan chairs, Qintong and four platoon troops followed Ximen Qingma.Grandmother Ruyier sat alone in a small sedan chair, holding her elder brother in her arms, and went into the city wrapped tightly in a quilt.Yueniang was still not at ease, so she sent Hua Tonger to come and tell him to follow the milk sedan chair, lest there would be chaos in the city.

Let's say that when Yueniang's sedan chair enters the city, it will separate from the sedan chairs of all the guests from Qiao's house.Seeing Ping'an'er greet the door, he reported: "Today, Father Xia, who is in charge of punishment, got off his horse and went to the hall in person, and asked him once. After he was behind, he sent someone to ask him twice. I don't know what's going on."

After hearing this, Ximen Qing hesitated.In the hall, I saw a book boy picking up clothes.Ximen Qingyin asked: "Your father Xia came today, what message did you leave?"

The book boy said: "He didn't say anything. He just asked Dad where he went:" Please go, I have something important to say." Come.’ Father Xia said: ‘I’ll come back in the morning.’ After being late, I sent someone to ask twice, and the younger one said: ‘It’s not yet!’” Ximen Qing turned around and said, “But what is it? "

While wondering, I saw Ping An coming to report: "Daddy Xia is here."

It was dusk at that time, and I saw Xia Tixing's plainclothes slope scarf, followed by two companions.Get off your horse and go to the hall to recite the ceremony, and say, "Sir, are you going to Baozhuang today?"

Ximen Qing said: "Today, we will sweep the tomb first. I don't know if the chief will descend and be welcomed. Forgive the sin, forgive the sin!"

Xia Ti Xing said: "There is something I dare to report to the officer."

Yin said, "Let's go and sit in the guest seat over there."

Ximenqing ordered the book boy to open the door of the scroll shed, please speak there, and ordered both left and right to go down.Xia Tixing said: "Master Li in the county has come to the students, so and so, saying that the Daxun recently went to Tokyo with a reference book, and both the officer and the students are participating in the example. The student asked me to copy the copy here, and read it with the officer. .”

When Ximenqing heard this, his face turned pale with fright. He hurriedly took the newspaper from the mansion and watched it under the lamp. What words were written on it?
According to Zeng Xiaoxu, the supervisory censor of Shandong Province, he participated in the impeachment of corrupt and irresponsible military officials, begged for rewards and dismissed them, and recorded events with righteous laws: ministers heard that patrolling the four directions and inspecting customs were the emperor's hunting activities; , It is the post of the censor to correct the government.In the past, "Spring and Autumn" recorded that the king of heaven patrolled hunting, and all nations were protected, the people's customs were harmonious, the king's way was clear, the people were in harmony, and the holy order was clear.Since last year, I was ordered to inspect the state of Qilu in Shandong, and it will be a year. In terms of past visits, whether there are civil and military officials who are good or not, it is quite true.Hereby, when the errand is full, dare to discriminate against the rules, and Chen Zhi for my emperor!In addition to the participation and impeachment of officials in the department, there is another request for clarification.Referring to Xia Yanling, who is in charge of Jinwuwei Zhengqian household in Shandong Tixing Institute, [艹起边] is an antler, greedy and despicable behavior, long-standing material discussion, and depraved behavior.In the past, the old man who used to herd the emperor's kimono wanted to harass him, and was betrayed by his subordinate officials.Today's provincial prison in Shandong Province is full of greed and coercion by colleagues.Zongzi Chengen pretended to be a native of martial arts, and Qianren took the exam for him, but the morale of the scholars was swept away.Xia Shoujian, a believer in the family, asked for money from the class, but was sacked by the army, and the political affairs were unknown!When receiving things, you are servile and servile, and people are called a girl at the time; when you ask questions, you are ambiguous, and there are puppets in the group.Ximenqing, the vice-dealer of justice, was originally a gangster in the market. He was promoted because of fate, and used martial arts indiscriminately.Wives and concubines play around the streets and alleys, but the curtains are thin; they drink in the market with happy wives, and the official admonitions are defiled.As for the women who kept the Han family, they indulged in their lust, but did not repair them; the money bribed by Miao Qingye was just a cover-up, but the traces of spoilage were obvious.These two ministers are all greedy and despicable, and they are obedient and clear for a long time, and they are not able to take office for a moment.Fuwang Shengming listened, ordered the Ministry to investigate further.If the minister's words are not wrong, and Yanling and others are urgently given and dismissed, then the officials will always rely on them, and the saints will always be honored.

Ximen Qing looked at it once, looked at each other in dismay, and remained silent.Xia Tixing said: "Sir, how do you care about this?"

Ximen Qing said: "As the saying goes: Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover up. When things come to an end, the way is man-made. You and I will pack some gifts and send people to Tokyo Central and the master as soon as possible."

Therefore, Xia Tixing made a speech in a hurry, and took 200 taels of silver and two silver pots at home.Ximenqing here is a piece of makeup inlaid with jade and gemstones, 300 taels of silver.The Xia family sent their family member Xia Shou, Ximenqing came here to protect the package, and packed the presents properly. Ximenqing wrote a letter to housekeeper Zhai.

Moreover, the cousin's brother came home from the grave, and at night he just cried in shock and refused to nurse.But after eating milk, I vomited.Panicked Li Ping'er came to tell Yueniang, Yueniang said: "I'll tell you, don't take the child out of the city gate if it's not yet a week old. He doesn't care about life and death, so he just said: 'Today Why did you come here to worship the ancestors on the grave? Don’t teach his mother to walk around!’ He just called me with his eyes open, as if he was doing something there. How is it doing now?”

Li Ping'er was unable to manipulate him.Kuang Ximenqing joined the press again because of patrolling. He talked with Xia Tixing in front of him and went to Tokyo to do some work. He was upset and his children were not good.Yueniang sent the servant to call Mrs. Liu to come and see, and invited the pediatrician to open the door and close the house, and there was a whole night of chaos.Mrs. Liu looked at it and said, "Brother was a little shocked, and ran into a general of the fifth order on the road. It doesn't matter, just buy some paper and send it back."

Two more doses of cinnabar pills were reserved, and they were delivered with mint Dengxin decoction. Only then did the child fall asleep instead of crying and spitting up milk.It's just that the fever has not subsided, Li Ping'er hastily took out a tael of silver and taught Mrs. Liu to prepare paper.Then he brought his husband, and a teacher-in-law, and burned paper to dance with his brother in the roll shed.Then Ximen Qing sent Laibao and Xia Shou to get up at five o'clock in the morning, and went to Dongping Prefecture Hu Zhifu with Xia Tixing to inquire about Miao Qing.Wu Yueniang heard Liu Po ​​say that the child was frightened on the way, and she complained to Ruyi, saying: "Don't pay attention to the child, I must have bluffed him in the sedan chair on the road. Otherwise, why don't you get better?"

Ruyi'er said: "I was in the sedan chair, wrapped the quilt tightly, and did not [Shidian] keep him. Mother asked Hua Tong'er to follow the sedan chair. He was fine, so I put him to sleep. I just went in When he arrived at the door of the house seven or eight times in the city, I only felt that he had a cold war, and when he got home, he stopped breastfeeding and began to cry."

Click here to burn paper at home, and have fun with your children.Let's say that Lai Bao and Xia Shou traveled all the way and arrived in Tokyo in only six days.I went to see Steward Zhai in the Grand Master's Mansion, and handed over the gifts from the two families.Zhai Qian read Ximen Qing's letter and said: "The copy of Zeng Yushi has not yet arrived, so you can stay for two days. Now the master has recently stated seven things, and the decree has not yet come down. Waiting to write this copy, Zeng When the censor's book arrives, wait for me to tell the master that he will only be approved in the master's pavilion as "the Ministry knows". I will send someone here to order Yu Shangshu of the Ministry of War to not cover his book. Give it to your master Father only cares about reassurance, and cares about some things."

So they took care of the wine and dinner, and returned to the inn to rest, waiting for news.

One day, Taishi Cai wrote to Chen Ben, and the imperial edict was approved.The doorman who came to Baoyang's mansion secretly copied a residence newspaper, took it home and had a look with Ximenqing, it's no problem.Steward Zhai, who had been waiting for a day, wrote a letter back, paid five taels of money, and took the road back to Qinghe County, Shandong with Xia Shou.When he came home, Ximen Qing was worrying at home, so Na Xia tixing came to ask for letters every day.Hearing the arrival of Laibao, he called to the back and asked him what he brought.Laibao told Ximen Qingxi about the above matter, saying: "Dad Zhai read his book, and said: "It doesn't matter, let your father rest assured. Seeing that today's tour is full, order a new one. Press it. Besides, his reference book has not yet arrived. When he comes in, when I tell the master, it depends on how heavy the reference is in his book. Only the department will know, and the master will use the post to tell the rest Shangshu, just file his case and not overturn it, and let him have the ability to set the record straight.'" Ximenqing listened, and then he let go of his heart.Because he asked, "Why hasn't he paid for his book?"

Laibao said: "When we left, we went on the road day and night, and arrived in Beijing in only five days. You can see that he was in his head. Every time I came back, I saw a group of post-horses with bells on the road, carrying yellow burdens, With two pheasant tails and two dental flags, I'm afraid it's just the inspection of the yamen to send the seal."

Ximen Qing said: "It's too late to get his book, and the matter will stop. I'm afraid it's too late."

Lai Bao said: "Dad don't worry, it's okay to take care of the situation. Not only did the little one do this, but he also inquired about two good things, and reported it to Dad."

Ximen Qing asked, "What's the matter?"

Lai Baodao: "Master Taishi has recently stated seven things, and his will is already done. Now Mr. Han, the servant of the household department of the master's in-laws, inscribed an example: to introduce salt in Shaanxi and other three sides, and to set up free warehouses in various prefectures and counties. , The official sells grain and rice. Let the households in the folk go to the warehouse to buy rice, ask for warehouse bills, and distribute salt to the branch. The [-] granary banknotes that I bought were sent [-] salt, and the household department sat down to send them. Now Cai Zhuangyuan ordered salt for the Lianghuai tour, and he will leave Beijing soon, so there is a lot of interest."

Ximen Qing heard the words and asked, "Is this really the case?"

Lai Bao said: "Father doesn't believe it, I copied a mansion and reported it here."

Take it out from the book case and watch it with Ximen Qing.Seeing many words on it, I called Chen Jingji to read it with him.Chen Jingji read to the middle, as long as he got stuck, there are still a few unfamiliar words that he can't recognize.Xuan called the book boy to read.That book boy was from a sect, and he was as fluent as running water, reading to the end.On the side are the seven things?

A copy of Lu Guogong Cai Jing, Minister of the Ministry of Scholars and Officials of Chongzhengdian University, is a copy of Chen's foolish opinion, devoting his ignorance, recruiting talents, achieving actual results, fully using the money, facilitating the people's feelings, and governing affairs with Long Sheng: On the first day, the imperial examination was discontinued and the imperial examination was taken. Scholars are paid tribute by the school.It is said that the education of Ling Yi and the decay of customs are all due to the lack of real talents in the selection of scholars, and there is no way to rely on education. "Book" said: "He is born with the people, he is the king and the teacher."

Xiaolian was promoted in the Han Dynasty, and the school was established in the Tang Dynasty. Our country began to formulate the method of tribute examination.Today, the emperor is always looking for talents, and he is trying to govern at night.Governance lies in cultivating talents, and cultivating talents is better than schools.In the future, when you choose a scholar, you will follow the ancient tradition and be promoted by the school.Its prefectures and counties issued Jieli Wei, and everything was left alone.Every year, if you take the exam, you will be poor to know the tribute, which is also like the style of Li Wei.There is still a department of eight lines to select scholars.The Eight Elements are filial piety, friendship, harmony, marriage, tenure, compassion, loyalty, and harmony.Scholars who have this will be exempted from the examination, and the rate will be supplemented by the Taixue.

The second is to stop talking about the Finance Department.However, at the beginning of the country, it was custom-made, and all halls set up a financial department.Gai said that people spend money in festivals and cherish people's wealth.Since His Majesty came to the throne, he has not treasured things far away, and has not labored and rested the people. He has practiced frugality in order to honor himself.There is no custom in the world that cannot be returned, and there is no wealth that cannot be saved.But those involved take vulgarity as their heart, take prohibition as their faith, don't ignore the beginning, don't let go of the later, govern the prosperity and beauty, prosper and prosper, so why talk about it?Learn it.

The third is to change the salt money method.Stealing salt and banknotes is the lesson of the country for those who prepare for the frontier.Today, there is no one who follows the salt-making method of the ancestors.Zhao Yunzhong, Shaanxi, Shanxi three sides, accept grain and grass, pass the old salt banknotes, and exchange the new salt banknotes of Huaihe and Zhejiang in the southeast.Three cents will be given to each banknote, and seven cents will be given to old banknotes.Now merchants send salt according to the underground field where they are assigned to produce salt.It is also like the method of tea, go to the official scale for inspection, please approve and quote the interest rate, and sell it at the salt place within a limited day.If it exceeds the limit, it will be detained in parallel; don't buy new ones that are added to the market, it is all private salt.In this way, the national class is increasing day by day, and there is no shortage of border reserves.

The fourth is the method of making money.Stealing money and goods is the blood of the country, and it is more expensive than circulation and cannot be stagnant.If there is a calamity that hinders those who can't do it, how can the common people be flexible, and how can the national class rely on it?From the goose-eye money at the end of Jin Dynasty to the beginning of the country, it was so trivial that it was even mixed with lead and iron.People on the border were trafficked to captives, so weapons were forged, and the damage was not small, and there was no ban on all passages.With your Majesty's newly minted big money, Chongning and Daguan Tongbao, one counts as ten, and the common people pass by, and the prices will not be so expensive.

The fifth is the method of performing knots and purses.Stealing the law of official purchases is the righteousness of relief.In recent years, floods and droughts have continued, and the people have to eat, and the edict of relief has been issued.Recently, Han Lu, the servant of the Ministry of household affairs, wrote an inscription to Qinyi: establish societies in the counties and states within the territory, and practice the law of making money.Protect it for the party, the party for the inside, and the inside for the township, and promote it.Each township is divided into three households, according to upper upper, middle middle and lower lower.The upper households received grain, the middle households received half of the grain, and the lower households returned a few grains, which is called 俵粜.In this way, the law of collecting and dispersing for the convenience of the people can be implemented, and the emperor can spread it without wasting benevolence.However, the responsibility to observe the order, check and hold, the relationship between the bandit and the bandit is detailed.

On the sixth day, he ordered the state and county in the world to accept the husband's money.However, the chaos of the early invaders in our country was still undecided, and all the soldiers from all over the world were ordered to gather in the capital for transportation and to strengthen the country.Today, the peace has been going on for a long time, and the people have settled down to their jobs. They jointly issued an imperial edict to the states and counties all over the world. Every year, they will be paid free of husband's money, and each person will get [-] guan of money.Both the concubine and the concubine get their convenience, but the power of the people is less than Su.

On the seventh day, set up the Tiju Imperial Ships.However, since His Majesty took the throne, he has been silently honored by dogs and horses.All the flowers and stones are all things in the mountains and forests, which are discarded by people.However, due to the failure of the Secretary to implement it, it caused disturbance and harmed the holy rule.Your Majesty, please take it as the imperial premise to lift people and boats.If it is useful, the internal money will be collected, and the officials will be sent to take it, so that the common people will not disturb the states and counties.V begging for the holy judge.

The decree said: "Your words are deep and difficult, and my heart is happy, which shows that you are loyal, and you will follow the plan."

The Ministry knows.

After Ximen Qing listened, he read the letter from Butler Zhai, and he knew that the gift was handed over clearly.When Cai Zhuangyuan saw the court, he ordered the Lianghuai patrol salt again. He passed by here in a few days, and he was very happy.While sending Xia Shou home: "Report to your father."

On the one hand, I rewarded Lai Bao with five taels of silver, two bottles of wine, and a piece of meat, and went back to the room to rest.It is exactly: the tree attracts the wind and the wind damages the tree, and the man loses his life because of his high reputation.There are poems to prove: gains and losses, prosperity and decline, and fate are all due to the year, month, day and time.If you have ambition in your chest, you must come to it. If you don’t have money in your bag, you can’t talk about talent.
