Forty-one, the family tradition of cold stone powder
Forty-one, Family Heirloom Hanshi Powder
When He Zhu went to see Lu Chu yesterday evening, the two of them were still making fun of the fact that Nei Shi Daishu and Zhu Yingtai, the deputy envoy of Tu Duan, were troubled by He's hiding in the house where he dragged his son and daughter away. At that time, Lu Chu also said: "Chen Cao
It's quite leisurely, and I haven't returned from my visit to Dai Andao." Unexpectedly, Chen Caozhi appeared at the He family's manor early this morning, and regardless of the dignity of the noble family, he wanted to search the He family's retreat.
He Zhu was extremely angry and said loudly: "Chen Caozhi, I am sorry that you, a ninth-rank official in your district, dare to bully me into the He family. My ancestor, Yan Xianggong, was an official in Sikong. He opened the government with the same three divisions and made great contributions to it.
Sheji, who would not respect the whole dynasty! And your ancestors were still farming in the Qiantang Dynasty at that time. You clung to the Huan family, arbitrarily registered as a scholar, disrupted the hierarchy of scholars and common people, and even dreamed of marrying a daughter of the Lu family. You still know that there is still "shame" in the world.
Two words!"
He Zhu asked himself that his words were extremely sharp. Although he despised and hated Chen Caozhi, the two had never argued face to face. They had studied in Xu's Thatched Cottage in Wu County and the two had almost never exchanged words. He Zhu claimed to be a son of a famous family.
He disdained being associated with Chen Caozhi, so even though he heard that Chen Caozhi was good at arguing, he was not afraid. He was very energetic and wanted to humiliate Chen Caozhi and make Chen Caozhi speechless.
Chen Caozhi looked calm and asked calmly: "Who are you talking about, Mr. Yan? Is it He Sikong, who is said to have made great contributions to one generation but benefited the next generation?"
He Sui, He Zhu's uncle and nephew heard Chen Cao's tone of voice and were quite respectful. He Sui sneered and didn't bother to answer. Shanyin congratulated Xun, who was an important minister of the Yuan Emperor!
He Zhu Leng said with a "humph": "Of course he is my ancestor, my ancestor, and he is the first-class figure in Jiangdong for hundreds of years. How can this be something that three generations of your Chen family could only dream of!"
He Xun died forty years ago, but the law officers and thieves from Kuaiji County and Shanyin County who were present all knew He Sikong's virtuous reputation. Seeing He Zhu talk about his ancestor He Xun in such a arrogant manner, they all felt casual.
Chen Caozhi's coming to inspect He's Manor was really reckless. How could he offend such a wealthy family?
Xie Daoyun saw that Chen Caozhi was pretending not to know, but he had already guessed what Chen Caozhi was thinking, and secretly praised him: "Zizhong's method of suppressing first and then rising up, playing hard to get, is wonderful." He immediately looked at Chen Caozhi with interest,
See how he verbally insulted He Sui and He Zhu's uncle and nephew?
Chen Caozhi was calm and not angry at He Zhu's insulting words, but he said to He Zhu: "He Sikong, who has great respect for the past and has outstanding loyalty and diligence, is actually your ancestor. I never expected that, I'm really surprised.
People can’t believe it!”
He Zhu was furious, his face turned red, and he asked angrily: "Chen Caozhi, what do you mean by this!"
He Sui, who was over fifty years old, also said angrily: "Chen Caozhi, you have insulted my late father. I, Mr. He, have no sworn relationship with you. I will sue you to the Grand Zhongzheng and Grand Situ of the state!"
Chen Cao's voice suddenly rose and he said loudly: "I have long admired the virtuous name of He Sikong. The He family in Kuaiji has been famous for his proficiency in etiquette since the later Han Dynasty. He Sikong is a well-known scholar in the county and is known as a Confucian. His words and deeds must be courteous.
.If He Sikong were still alive and heard that the imperial court issued an order and ordered the tribe to take the lead in executing it, how could he have done something illegal and illegal, such as seizing Yinhu's clothes and disrupting the governance of the county? How could I come here to inspect Yinhu?
”
He Sui and He Zhu were both stunned when they heard this, and were speechless for a moment.
Chen Cao's words were like a waterfall: "When Yongjia traveled south, the Jin Dynasty was relatively safe, and He Sikong played the most important role. Not to mention these, let me just talk about Congratulations Sikong's achievements in benefiting the hometown of Kuaiji. He Sikong once served as the governor of Kuaiji.
During his tenure, Nei Shi inspected the terrain, mobilized the people, and dug canals starting from Xiling in the west, passing through Xiaoshan, Qianqing, and Keqiao to the county town. Later, he organized the people to repair other rivers connected to them, forming a criss-crossing canal.
The net allows the original rivers to flow through each other, adjust the water level, and is not afraid of droughts and floods, ensuring the needs of farmland irrigation, improving the water conservancy function of Jianhu Lake, and providing the 600,000 people in Kuaiji with the benefits of irrigation, boating, breeding, and fishery.
, the people still express their gratitude to He Sikong for his kindness."
At this point, Chen Caozhi's voice became even more passionate: "But after He Sikong passed away, what else did the Ruhe clan do to destroy Shao Jiqiu! In order to expand the He clan's land property, they encircled the lake and cultivated fields. This is a lesson.
The size of the lake has shrunk, and the effectiveness of Jianhu in resisting floods has been greatly reduced. According to rough statistics, in the past twenty years, the He family has reclaimed more than 400 hectares of farmland around the lake. Other wealthy families in Kuaiji County saw that the He family was competing with the lake for land.
Following suit, the size of Jianhu Lake is reduced by one out of three compared to fifty years ago. Once there is a drought, Jianhu Lake will naturally have less irrigated fields due to insufficient water storage. The loss cannot be compared to thousands of hectares of fields!
"
There had been no rain in Kuaiji for several months, and the people were already worried about drought. When they heard what Chen Caozhi said, both the horse archers in the county and the villagers of the He family felt that Chen Caozhi was right, and He Sikong's
Compared with He Sikong, the descendants are really far apart.
Chen Caozhi added, "As a citizen of the Jin Kingdom, it is your duty to pay taxes and serve. The Ruhe family has hundreds of shelters granted by the court, but they still hide privately in private households and compete with the country for profit. Such actions are...
Can the "Da Dai Li Ji" explain it? Can the "Little Dai Li Ji" explain it? Moreover, there has been an edict from the Shangshutai. This time the soil was cut off, the hidden households detected were first used for the construction of water conservancy projects in the county.
, is to prepare against natural disasters, but the Ru He family obstructed Tu Duan in every possible way. The He family's land was second only to the Yuyao Yu family among the four surnames in Kuaiji. The Yu Yao Yu family handed over a thousand hermit households in total during this Tu Duan.
The Wei family and the Kong family both handed over 700 Yinhu, but the He family only handed over 400 Yinhu. They also deliberately instigated Yinhu to make trouble in the county, and drove Yinhu Jingshen out of the manor and asked him to go to the county to find Dai.
Internal History, I wish Deputy Envoy to ask for food and clothing. On this cold day, those living in seclusion are dragging their children and dragging out their daughters, wailing and crying endlessly. How dare He claim to be the heirloom of poetry and etiquette after his actions!"
Hundreds of people stood motionless on the open ground of He's Manor in complete silence.
He Sui, He Zhu's forehead was dripping with cold sweat. This Chen Cao's words were too sharp. They captured the He family's ancestor He Xun's kindness and love for the people. Compared with today, He family's uncle and nephew were speechless and speechless. The uncle and nephew looked at each other.
, He Zhu was young, so he calmed down and argued forcefully: "It is a slander to say that I, the He family, are competing for land from Jianhu Lake. The water in Jianhu Lake has receded, and the grasslands are wild. What is wrong with my family, the He family, organizing households to reclaim farmland?
If we want to talk about the water area of Lanhu Lake in the past, Wang Yishao’s Orchid Pavilion Gathering was also in the lake.”
Chen Cao said: "Have you, the He family, built dikes around lakes and built fields in recent years? You can ask the county chief, Mr. Lilu. Just this month, the He family is still building embankments to surround the lakes. He Daofang, you are telling lies with your eyes open.
!”
A smile appeared on Xie Daoyun's lips, and Zi Zhong suddenly said a slang word, which was really funny, but everyone present was solemn and no one dared to laugh.
The uncles and nephews of the He family originally thought that the He family was very reasonable and powerful. Chen Caozhi led people to break into the He family's manor without permission. He family also wanted to punish Chen Caozhi severely when they caused trouble in the Situ Mansion. But now they heard Chen Caozhi's extremely contagious words.
After speaking eloquently, He Sui couldn't help but feel frustrated, He Sui cupped his hands and said: "Chen Zuojian, please come to the hall to speak."
He Sui seemed to want to seek peace and surrender, but Chen Caozhi was no longer ready to give up. Kuaiji Tuduan, it was necessary to punish a family to establish authority, and at this time the Tuduan period had expired, even if the He family paid back the hidden household
It was too late, not to mention that the He family had deliberately planned to frame him, Chen Caozhi, for occupying the land, so that he, Chen Caozhi, would not be able to stand up. If he was not severely punished now, how could he wait!
Chen Caozhi said calmly: "I would like to congratulate Neishi on summoning the steward and dianji of your village. I have a few words to say."
He Zhu saw that his uncle took the initiative to invite Chen Caozhi into the hall to talk, but Chen Caozhi ignored him, and became angry again: "Chen Caozhi, don't you know how to praise me? My uncle spoke to you nicely, how dare you be rude!
"
Chen Cao said: "How dare you? There are some things that don't need to be troubled by Dai Neishi. Just ask the stewards and planners in charge of the household registration books in your village to speak." When he said this, he looked at the faces of the senior deacons behind He's uncle and nephew.
Passing by, I had some thoughts in my mind.
He Zhu said angrily: "Chen Caozhi, you want to check my family name of He family? Don't even think about it!"
Chen Caozhi knew that it would be very difficult for him to search for hidden houses in He's Manor, which was more than ten miles away, with a hundred people of his own. Moreover, without a household registration comparison, it would be difficult to find out, so he turned to Ran Sheng and said: "Xiao Sheng, take that
The three of you please go to the county to ask questions." He nodded his hand towards the three people behind He Sui.
Ran Sheng responded like thunder, waved his hand, and six of his sergeants rushed forward and pulled out the three senior deacons of the He family pointed out by Chen Caozhi.
He Sui and He Zhu were shocked when they saw it. These three people were the stewards and planners of Zhuang Shang who managed the land registration and family registration. How could Chen Caozhi recognize them?
Chen Cao raised his hands and said, "He Neishi, I'll take my leave." He turned around and left. Ran Sheng held the horse in one hand and the oak stick in the other. He looked at the He family's private soldiers with disdain and slowly backed away.
He Sui's mouth was dry. If he ordered the manor tribe to intercept Chen Caozhi and others at this time, a fight would inevitably break out and become even more unstoppable. After this hesitation, Chen Cao's hundreds of people had already exited He's manor, and there was only one person in front of them.
There is an empty space left.
He Zhu said anxiously: "Uncle, those three planners know the details of my manor, how could they be taken away by Chen Caozhi!"
He Sui also felt confused. He did not expect that things would develop to this point. He grabbed his beard and turned around twice, shouting: "Get the car ready. I want to go to the county to see Dai Shu and Lu Chu in person.
Fang, you go too."
He Zhu had no idea at this time and was eager to find Lu Chu to make the decision. The uncle and nephew hurriedly got on the bullock cart, brought more than ten private soldiers and servants, and followed Chen Caozhi to the county.
Xie Daoyun rode his horse closer to Chen Caozhi and said with a smile: "How can we ruin things by talking and arguing? Zi Zhong's eloquent words just now made He's uncle and nephew speechless. It is really enjoyable to listen to it."
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "Thank you very much, Brother Yingtai, for telling me about congratulating Sikong last night."
Xie Daoyun said: "There is another thing that Zizhong must not know. The He family in Kuaiji is from the south. Why did he imitate the northerners in the clothing of San?"
In the internal history of Danyang, He Xun refused because of a foot disease, and took cold food powder. He let his hair down and exposed his body, saying that he could no longer be appointed. Chen Min finally did not dare to force him. From then on, He Xun's custom of taking cold food powder began."
