The dignified head of the Meng family would definitely not come to Feng Yong to settle accounts because of the quarrel between the younger generations. He didn't even know that there was actually a reason behind Hua Wan coming to ask him for a fight...
"Your Meng family is now in the hands of Meng Yan. No matter what, his surname is still Meng. But Zhu Rong's first name is not Meng. Even if it ends, it should end in the hands of my daughter. I will never
Give it to Meng Yan."
Mrs. Zhu Rong looked firm, with a faint gloomy look on her face.
Meng Huo can become the leader of the barbarians in Yizhou County, and Mrs. Zhu Rong can lead the Zhu Rong tribe as a woman. Naturally, both of them are not fools.
You may not have known it before, but when Meng Yan was appointed as the prefect of Zhuti County, anyone would vaguely feel that something was wrong - why was Meng Yan appointed as the prefect of Zhuti County, but his family had to
Going to live in Jincheng?
Not only was it terrifying to think about it, but I didn’t even dare to think about it further.
It's just that it's too late to say anything now.
Meng Huo sighed, "Wan Niang is a pretty girl by nature, so I'm afraid she won't be able to understand your intentions."
"She is brilliant by nature, not to mention ignorant. She will naturally understand some things when she sees them." Mrs. Zhu Rong shook her head and said, "We can protect her for a while, but we cannot protect her for a lifetime."
Meng Huo was silent.
After being defeated by Zhuge Liang seven times in a row, he finally lost all his former bravery.
"How about we go live in Jincheng and spend the rest of our lives with peace of mind. Haven't you often said that I don't want to enter your home? How about I stay at home with you after we go to Jincheng?"
Mrs. Zhu Rong couldn't help comforting her when she saw Meng Huo like this.
Meng Huo nodded and sighed softly, "I only heard that Jincheng is prosperous, but I don't know if it is suitable for living?"
The prosperous Jincheng had already fallen into an inexplicable frenzy as the news came that Zhuge Liang had conquered Nanzhong.
This craze was first driven by people from the Xinghan Society.
Nowadays, many second-generation officials in Jincheng greet each other and ask like this: "Oh, brother so-and-so, where are you planning to go?"
"Where else can we go? I'm penniless, so I can just stay at home! What about you?"
"Haha, me too. All the expenses for the past two months were spent as soon as I got it. I can't even afford to go to restaurants."
He shook his head and sighed, looking like he had no hope of life.
The person on the other side also nodded empathetically, "Yes, yes, I can't help it. A few days ago, the adults at home asked me if the expenses were enough, so they gave me some more. Who would have thought that as soon as I got it, it was gone in the blink of an eye."
So the two looked at each other and smiled tacitly, and at the same time thought to themselves: This brother went to Nanzhong, and it turned out that he didn't just go to plant sugar cane!
Then they passed each other and went home humming a little tune, as if being a prodigal was a very glorious thing.
Those who didn’t have money felt proud, but those who had money felt panic in their hearts—damn it, Feng Dianzi did it again! Did you agree to go to Nanzhong to plant sugar cane?
We don’t worry about scarcity but about inequality. Some people are happy and others are sad.
For example, Liu Liang, who has more money on hand, is more worried.
Because the Liu family did not receive any share of Nanzhong’s last large-scale labor bonus, not even a tiny bit!
Once in Wei County and once in Dianchi Lake, the labor force was not 20,000, but more than 10,000.
As long as there were people left in Pingyi County, every family more or less participated in this feast, and their mouths were full of food.
As long as they followed the various militia groups that went to Wei County, everyone would benefit.
Especially for the militiamen who later went to Dianchi Lake to help, the benefits were even greater.
In the labor sale in Dianchi Lake, all labor was sold to people on the spot. All they had to do was leave a note, because Feng Langjun, who was eager for justice and was eager for justice, acted as guarantee!
Who doesn’t know that the husband of Governor Li’s family is called Brother Feng Langjun?
In addition, Feng Langjun's reputation is indeed great enough.
There is no other choice. Hanzhong has to transport woolen cloth to Jincheng every month. Currently, the only woolen cloth in the world is the most prestigious.
It was precisely because of Feng Langjun's guarantee that as soon as the militia group in Dianchi Lake accepted people, as soon as Jincheng received the news, each family sent money and food to the prime minister's house for Xiang Changshi to check and accept.
Mistaking each other is extremely convenient.
Even if any family doesn't take advantage of it for a while, Feng Langjun's cloth can be temporarily used to help lay the groundwork.
Isn’t this being impatient for justice?
A large number of laborers were escorted back from Nanzhong at once, finally turning Jincheng into a carnival city.
The reason why it is said that the people of the Xinghan Association were the first to instigate the carnival is because as long as they are connected to the Xinghan Association, they are the first to receive labor.
After all this happened, the reputation of the Xinghan Society was immediately ruined.
This big harvest of labor was all because Feng Langjun took the lead, and everyone benefited. At this time, no matter who mentioned Feng Langjun, they all gave a thumbs up and praised "Feng Langjun, who is eager for public service and good at justice."
But for Feng Tibi, it doesn't matter whether he is in a hurry or not.
The important thing is that without anyone noticing, his credit system has been further strengthened.
The only exception to this carnival was the Liu family, who were empty-handed and watched a huge opportunity slip away before their eyes.
Liu Liang was furious and whipped the Nanzhong militia manager until he almost died on the spot.
This is not the most important thing, what's more terrible is that in the end, I still missed an opportunity to accumulate merit.
If you want to get promoted, the fastest way is to meet the new emperor and ascend the throne.
When a new emperor ascends the throne, in order to win over people's hearts, he always has to grant officials and titles to everyone.
But now that my son is still young, and I have not heard of any bad health, so from the current point of view, if nothing unexpected happens, this situation will probably not happen in twenty or thirty years.
So the last remaining situation is to accumulate merit.
Either political achievements or military exploits.
Nowadays, the Han Dynasty is a prime minister. With the prime minister's fair temperament, if he does not have political achievements and merits, even if Liu Liang himself becomes a prince, he will definitely not have a chance to be promoted.
Nowadays, everyone in the Xinghan Society is poor, but they are gloriously poor. How many people want to spend money but have no way to do it.
What is the use of having so much money on hand? Can it be exchanged for merit?
Even if his lord personally took action, he still couldn't get the two palace officials to agree to join the Xinghan Society. How could this not make him angry and resentful?
Thinking of this, Liu Liang could only tremble and run to find his master.
"Sir, the child is wrong!"
When Liu Liang saw Liu Yan, he knelt down on the spot.
He knows his master very well, he is impatient and has a good face.
This time he not only caused the Liu family to miss a good opportunity, but also became the only exception in every family. There will definitely be people talking and ridiculing behind his back. If the adults feel embarrassed, they will probably beat him half to death.
Liu Yan's face was gloomy. He was really dissatisfied with his son this time.
He even gave up his old face and went to the palace to ask for a favor from the emperor and empress. Unexpectedly, he still couldn't get what he wanted in the end.
If you are asked to take charge of the affairs of the house, what kind of bullshit do you do?
However, he had followed the late emperor since Yuzhou, and had gone through numerous setbacks and tribulations for decades. Among the children born to his wives and concubines, only this son survived.
Besides, the Liu Mansion will be handed over to him sooner or later. If he doesn’t plan for him, who else can he plan for?
It's a pity that the emperor's nephew is less kind-hearted than the late emperor. He is his uncle. He is unwilling to agree to such a trivial matter. He is really unworthy of a man!
Liu Yan didn't let Liu Yan get up, so he just kept him kneeling.
He just said in a deep voice, "I heard that the palace is planning to open a Nanzhong Metallurgical Engineering Co., Ltd. in Nanzhong. Now we are selecting a supervisor. I will try to find a way to ask the emperor. If you can be one of them, then it will be fine."
good."
Liu Liang was stunned and said, "Sir, all the eunuchs and eunuchs of the inner palace belong to the inner palace. Is there something wrong with my son doing this?"
Entering the inner palace to serve the palace would be considered a lucky move.
He is a dignified son of a marquis, but he wants to touch the emperor's balls like that eunuch... Don't you find it embarrassing, sir?
What's more, His Majesty now doesn't even have any rights, so what's the use?
"Extremely stupid!
When Liu Yan heard this, he almost couldn't hold back his anger and cursed loudly.
Although his son did not say it out loud, he naturally understood what his son was thinking.
But you don’t look at Naoweng either?
Didn't I get such a high position just because I was close to the late emperor?
"If you get one of these two positions, it can be regarded as entering the court. You will also serve the emperor. You can work peacefully for a few years. When the emperor takes charge, he will not forget your affection."
Before the late emperor decided on his great career, he spent decades developing a relationship with the late emperor.
Now that the emperor has not yet taken charge, it is a time when he needs manpower to train his confidants. If his son can take the initiative to join him at this time, will he be afraid that the emperor will not remember his kindness in the future?
Besides, I am still considered a member of the royal family, and I am actually a family!
If one's own family's property is not used by one's own family, how can one still use outsiders?
"Besides, in this case, if growing sugar cane is profitable, even if you don't join the Xinghan Society, our family can still use the emperor's influence to get a share of the pie."
