Chapter 1,722 The Remaining Fragrance

Outside the Guangzhou Academy, Liu Zhi led the Guangzhou gentry to a warehouse and ordered someone to open the door.

The entire three rooms were filled with spices.

Tao Anmin looked at the dazzling variety of varieties inside and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Ming Gong, this is..."

Liu Zhi sighed: "Xiao Su Lu is gone."

"Gone? Where did you go?"

"My term is over and I have returned to Beijing."

"What?" Tao Anmin was shocked: "When did it happen?"

Liu Zhi said: "Last night, the south wind started blowing up. It's a good time to go now."

After speaking, he took out a letter from his sleeve: "This is what he left for you."

Tao Anmin reached out and took it, and when he opened it, there was a small poem on it.

Hate the evil chao Zhang Jingyu edict,

When you come, go to Xiaoxiao alone.

The fragrance is left behind, so the old man can rest lightly on his burdens.

May the kindness of enlightenment be with you in Rucao.

Just listen to Liu Zhi say: "Little Su Lu said that there is one big thing in Guangzhou that he has not had time to do, and that is charity. Originally, he planned to move the nursing home, Juzicang, Salesian Bureau, etc. after the autumn tax collection in September.

Tongjiyuan has been established."

"He has already prepared the capital. The money will be obtained by selling these three warehouses of spices, and the future maintenance costs will be allocated from Fang Zhiwei's profits."

"Now that he is gone, this matter can only be entrusted to a few old men. Old Tao, you guys, see if you can set up a plan and take care of this matter..."

Tears burst into Tao Anmin's eyes immediately, and he grabbed Liu Zhi's sleeve: "Mr. Liu... you will return our Xiao Su to the top of the list!"

"Old Tao!" Liu Zhi scolded: "The imperial court has a system of floating officials. There is no such thing as a banquet in the world!"

"Given Ziheng's political achievements, he should have been transferred a long time ago. Old Tao, you can't tie your child to Guangzhou just because you are greedy for Gan Tang's love. Isn't this delaying him?!"

Liu Wei stumbled aside: "Then you should discuss it with us! Xiao Su Tanhua has done so many things for me in Guangzhou in the past few years. My fellow villagers, why don't you give me a gift?"

"I'm telling you, can he still leave?" Liu Zhi said, "He's just afraid of seeing you like this!"

After finishing speaking, I felt that my tone was a bit harsh, so I comforted you with gentle words: "Guys, Zi Heng is Wang Zuo's talent. There are more than thirty roads in the world. We can't just let Guangnan East Road have this advantage, right?"

"The emperor is still young and is about to take charge of the government. Wouldn't it be much better to have ministers of the same age by his side to give advice than old men like us?"

"Whether it's for the sake of the king, the country, the people, or for Zi Heng's future career, it's time to leave Guangnan East Road."

"Zi Heng, this kid, is smart and smart, has long-term facilities, knows how to be prepared for many major events in advance, and has rules and methods without haste. Is this the talent of a state and a road?"

"If everyone likes him, they should do what he told them to do, and they should improve the folk customs of Guangzhou and make him proud of his past responsibilities in the future. Only then can he live up to his children's hard work!"

Several old men shed tears and were sad for a while before Tao Anmin said dejectedly: "Ming Gong is right. We can't delay Xiao Su's exploration of flowers just because we are in this state. Alas..."

Liu Wei supported Tao Anmin and asked Liu Zhi: "I don't know what the regulations are for Xiaosu Tanhua's facilities?"

Liu Zhi took out another booklet: "This is the charity law of Bianjing copied by Zi Heng. He brought it with him when he took office. Now, it is handed over to you."

Tao Anmin took it with trembling hands and couldn't help crying again: "But I still feel uncomfortable in my heart..."

Liu Wei just also read the poem left on the colander: "Mr. Liu, the first line of Xiao Su's poem about visiting flowers seems to be quite resentful towards you... Mr. Liu, you can't lie to us. This time you came to Beijing, it's really for Xiao Su."

How about exploring flowers?"

Liu Zhi was so angry that he puffed his beard and stared: "How can I hurt him?! He is complaining that I can't let him eat the big oysters from Liuhe Village!"

Tao Anmin regained his composure: "Forget it, everyone has left, it's too late to say anything... We can't let Xiao Su Tanhua do all the good deeds done by the people of Guangzhou. It doesn't sound like he is the son of a man."

Liu Wei said: "Why don't we ask Elder Xin to come forward and let him take charge of the overall situation? Then everyone will be assigned the duties and arrange all the things in the book according to Xiao Su Tanhua's wishes."

A few months later, with the vigorous efforts of Elder Xin and several elders, the wealthy people in Guangzhou contributed money and efforts, and with the help of Sancang spices, a nursing home to support the elderly and orphans was quickly built.

The Salesian Bureau for Orphaned Children, and the Tongji Hospital for charitable medical purposes.

Among them, the Tibetan people also made great efforts. Xinadhara also donated his Guangta Temple, followed the example of Tongjiyuan, and established a charity institution to treat sick sea travelers.

In order to commemorate the legacy left by Colander, the elders of Guangzhou built a stone pavilion on the original site of the warehouse where Colander stored spices.

These are all things for later. After all, the colander was missing for a few months, and I was unable to eat the king oysters from Liuhe Village. When I left, I only took away a box of Chakeng's specialty - braided palm fan.

…

In the sixth month of the lunar month, Jiayin and Zhang Dun were in Suzhou, buying land illegally, demoted an official, and left Dingzhou.

In Wuwu, Liang Tao, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, was dismissed as a bachelor of Zizheng Palace. He went to Yingchang Mansion with Liquan as an envoy.

Liang Tao had a high reputation among scholars and was the "number one hero" in the impeachment of Cai Que. His resume was somewhat similar to that of Sima Guang, his personality and behavior were also similar to Sima Guang's, and like Sima Guang, he was also someone Gao Taotao admired very much.

However, after Zhao Xu's wedding, Liang Tao repeatedly petitioned Gao Taotao to return to power. After receiving no reply, he repeatedly petitioned Gao Taotao to leave.

Zhao Xu sent his servants to return him, asked why he had to go, and secretly visited the talents. Liang Tao replied: "If you don't trust people sincerely and don't listen to what you say, asking about the availability of talents is not what I dare to do."

Zhao Xu ordered the envoy to come again, and Liang Tao wrote: "Your Majesty must want to know someone who can be of great use. It is better to look for someone among the old people, someone who is upright and honest, has a reputation for being popular, and does not tolerate the likes and dislikes of others."

The world is blessed with those who want to change the will of the monarch!"

Zhao Xu asked Liang Tao again what he was referring to, and Liang Tao mentioned two people, Fan Chunren and Su You.

Zhao Xu asked Gao Taotao for his opinion, and finally agreed to Liang Tao's request. Before leaving, the emperor sent his chamberlain to give tea and medicine, and declared: "I have used your words to return to the prime minister Fan Chunren."

According to the old rules, the honorary title of "gongguanshi" cannot be removed by anyone other than the prime minister. Because Gao Taotao specifically told Zhao Xu to treat Liang Tao well, Zhao Xu designed the name "Tongshi" as an honorary favor.

After Liang Tao left, Zhao Xu sent out the imperial letter and asked Lu Dafang how he wanted Fan Chunren to be reinstated. Lu Dafang replied: "As announced, we actually allow the group to discuss it."

So he ordered his servant Li Zhuo to send an edict to summon Fan Chunren to the palace.

Shao, the new supervisory censor, came to express his opposition, saying that Fan Chunren was a disciple of Cheng Yi and was secretly ruthless and untalented.

Zhao Xu refused, and in autumn and July, Bing Zishuo replaced Zhang Dun with Fan Chunren as Shangshu Youpu She and Zhongshu Minister.

In July, the colander also arrived at Damingfu.

This time we took the sea route at a very fast speed. Colander and Nurma were addicted to sailing while driving the Oyster.

I sailed from Guangzhou to Yangzhou to visit my old cousin Su Shi, then to Zhongshan to visit my uncle Su Song, and also went to the Naval Academy to visit my brother and sister-in-law, and then walked eastward along the Yellow River to Damingfu, but I didn't leave anyone behind.

The quality of Chakeng Pu Kui fan is always good. It is not the same as Pu fan from mainland China. It is woven from Pu silk. The Pu silk is made snow-white with bleaching powder, and then a sewing machine is used to add colored thread to embroider the pattern. It is delivered all the way, just in time for the season.

It is lightweight, practical and quite elegant, and has received a lot of praise.

When Colander arrived, Zhang Dun happened to be staying here in Suyou because he was passing through Damingfu in Dingzhou.

Zhang Dun was seduced by Da Su, which was a bad luck.

Da Su knew about Yangzhou and composed a song "Huanxi Sha·Send Old Ye Chun"

Yangxian has bought a field in Gusu. Whoever meets him will believe that it is the destiny. If you don't teach him, he will sing like the sky.

I am Lord Dongxiao's guardian, and we are still facing each other as we grow old. I know how many years have passed since the West Lake.

Ye Chunlao was Ye Wensou. At that time, he was serving as the deputy transport envoy for the Liang-Zhejiang Road. He was a Jinshi in the same year as Su Shi.

The two men often had heated arguments over their political opinions. Previously, because of Da Su's relief program in Hangzhou, Ye Wensou believed that Da Su favored the people of Hangzhou and firmly disagreed with the excessive relief. The two even took the lawsuit to the imperial court.

But their friendship in private was quite good. We often visited and made noises together when we were working, but when we were taking a break, we often played together and recited poems and composed poems together.

The friendship between scholar-officials in the Song Dynasty was often like this. If you just read the memorials and exchanges, you would think that the two were sworn enemies. If you look at the poems they sang in honor of them, you would think that they were so good that they could wear a pair of trousers. History experts are often dismissed.
