Chapter 219 There are still descendants in the farmhouse?
Chapter 219 Is there any heir to the farm family?
"This! Your Majesty, there are more than a hundred officials in our Ministry of Rites. Each of us has been fined half a year's salary. How can we people survive!"
Xue Bingtian cried bitterly.
Lin Fan said coldly: "Haha! I've fined you half a year's salary, which is the lightest punishment for you. I haven't even settled my matter with you yet!"
Xue Bingtian looked at Lin Fan and said: "What...what do you mean, don't I just get you a few barrels?"
Wouldn’t you like to punish all the people in our Rites Department for half a year?”
"Yes! Your Majesty wants to punish Xue Shangshu. What does it have to do with us?"
We didn’t do anything!”
"Yes, we are innocent!"
Officials from the Ministry of Rites complained one after another.
Xue Bingtian glared at them fiercely, and Lin Fan said: "How many barrels can you get?
Is this a trivial matter?
There is a clear stipulation in our Great Ming Law that anyone who steals in troubled times will be punished for thirty years!"
"As officials, if you know the law and break the law, the crime will be increased one level, that is, one person will be responsible for sixty. Although Xue Bingtian is the only one involved, all the officials of the Ministry of Rites know about it!"
"If you don't report it if you know it, you will be guilty of the same crime. Du Shangshu knows this best!"
Du Buju hurriedly said: "That's right! According to the Ming Dynasty Law, this is the case. I am the Minister of Punishment, so I know best!"
this……
Xue Bingtian and others were dumbfounded. They just couldn't stand Lin Fan's collection of excrement, so they took advantage of the night to collect all the barrels for him. Will they be punished for sixty years?
"Your Majesty, this..."
Xue Bingtian looked at Emperor Chongzhen.
Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Lin Fan and felt that it was a bit too much to do this, so he said: "Lin Fan, the officials of the Ministry of Rites can be exempted from the responsibility of sixty."
"Your Majesty is absolutely right. However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be escaped. The officials of the Ministry of Rites must do me a small favor, otherwise I will never give up!"
Lin Fan said.
"What's the rush?"
Xue Bingtian asked.
"Can I ask the officials from the Ministry of Rites to help me spread the word and let the people pay attention to personal hygiene and sort their household waste and throw it in wooden barrels?"
"Moreover, the Ministry of Rites will also advocate that all literati in the world do this in the name of the Ministry of Rites."
Lin Fan said.
…
Emperor Chongzhen was speechless. This seemed like a small favor, but it also brought the Ministry of Rites into trouble.
This is a good thing, but the officials of the Ministry of Rites are all rotten people. Letting them do things related to shit is more uncomfortable for them than killing them.
Xue Bingtian opened his mouth, but did not say a word for a long time. Lin Fan said: "If Xue Shangshu finds this matter difficult, then one person will be punished for sixty years and be punished for half a year!"
"Of course, if the officials of the Ministry of Rites help me with this small favor, I can temporarily keep the money your Majesty fines in your homes."
After Lin Fan finished speaking, officials from the Ministry of Rites said, "Yes! We agree to Marquis Diwu's request!"
Xue Bingtian nodded bravely and said, "We will help you handle this matter."
"This is not about helping me. This is a major event to improve people's livelihood. If your Rites Department does a good job, it must be a great achievement."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
Xue Bing was speechless. Emperor Chongzhen felt even more happy when he saw that Lin Fan had embarrassed the officials of the Ministry of Rites. He looked at Lin Fan and said: "Lin Fan, I have already set a wedding date for you. We will marry Na at the end of this month."
Lan Yanran is married."
"What! So fast!"
Lin Fan said in shock.
"Is this fast?
Not fast! Not fast at all!"
Li Guozhen said.
"According to convention, before you get married, you have to go to Honglu Temple to learn etiquette. As for Princess Nalan, the Queen will teach you etiquette."
Li Jiantai said.
"During this period, you and Princess Nalan cannot meet. Of course, if you really want to meet, I will help you find a way."
Ni Yuanlu said with a wicked smile.
Lin Fan felt that he should not come today, but he had caused such a big trouble. Emperor Chongzhen put the matter to death and announced his resignation.
When Lin Fan returned to the Lin Mansion, the housekeeper Lin Fu was almost happy. It turned out that after the market for farm fertilizer opened in the capital, many people did not buy it and went to buy farm fertilizer elsewhere.
According to Lin Fu's estimate, their batch of farmyard fertilizer should be sold out in two or three days, with a profit of at least two hundred thousand taels.
"Our Lin family has a good fortune, but your young master and I are going to be in trouble."
Lin Fan sighed.
"Master, what's the trouble?
Is someone in the DPRK targeting you again?
Don’t get along with them, they can’t deal with you anyway.”
Lin Fu said.
"It's not a matter for officials. It's His Majesty who set the date for my wedding."
Lin Fan said.
"This is a good thing! Master, I have been helping you organize the past few days. The people in our Lin Mansion are all old houses of noble families. I will discuss it with them later and buy it. Master, what do you think?"
Lin Fu said.
"It's up to you. I'll go back to the house to calm down first."
After saying that, Lin Fan went back to the house.
When Liu Qingqing heard that Lin Fan was going to marry Nalan Yanran at the end of the month, she felt mixed emotions. She saw that Liu Qingqing was not happy, so she stayed with Liu Qingqing.
In the evening, the servants of the Lin Mansion sat together to eat, while Lin Fan sat in a seat by himself. Liu Qingqing and Doudou both ate with Lin Fan, but today they took the servants' seat.
Lin Fan naturally guessed the reason. He wanted to talk to Liu Qingqing about this matter, but he saw someone walking over. This person had a snow-white complexion and an extraordinary temperament.
He was wearing white clothes and holding a long sword in his hand. If Lin Fan hadn't walked in and saw his Adam's apple, he would have thought he was a woman.
"who are you?
This is the Lin Mansion, who let you in?"
"Didn't you close the door?
How come anyone can come in?"
Lin Fu stood up and prepared to drive the man out. The man was light and easily avoided Lin Fu and walked straight towards Lin Fan.
"You! Are you looking for a beating?"
Lin Fu scolded.
The man ignored Lin Fu and said in a deep voice: "Xing Xing, I have met Marquis Diwu."
"Xu Xing?
I don’t know you, what do you want from me?”
Lin Fan asked.
Xu Xing smiled slightly and said: "I am just an unknown person. I heard that the farmyard fertilizer made by Master Wuhou can increase grain production a lot. I was very excited and came here to visit you."
"Don't even think about getting involved in the farmyard fertilizer business. Your Majesty already monopolizes 40% of the profits."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
Xu Xing smiled slightly and said: "I am not here for profit. I am not talented. I am a farmer's disciple. I want to get a certain job under Wuhou."
kindness?
farmhouse?
Is it a farmer’s family from various schools of thought?
Although scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are all on the same level, each dynasty has always paid little attention to agriculture. Now, Confucianism has been pushed to the top, and farmers have nothing to do with it.
Besides, the farm family has been in decline since the Han Dynasty. How many years have passed and there are still descendants?
