Lord of the House

Vol 8 Chapter 7: Jinglan

A blacksmith who doesn't know a lot of characters can also be a master. It is not only the group of craftsmen who are shocked. In Chongzhou County and Hailing Mansion, they also set off a storm like throwing a hill into the lake, becoming a restaurant, a restaurant, and a restaurant. Walking between the shops, people are scrambling to be the first to pass on the legend.

"It's really nonsense, and a reckless man can be an official. Where are those scholars who have been studying hard for ten years?"

The official ship stopped at the water station wharf, and there was a tea shop on the shore.

Huai'an prefect Liu Tingzhou, Shanyang magistrate Liang Wenzhan, Yandu magistrate Hu Dahai, and Huai'an military commander Xiao Kuian sat in the cabin, listening to the tea customers in the tea shop talking loudly about the Chongzhou blacksmith's official business.

Hu Dahai, the magistrate of Yandu County, couldn't help but complained full of discontent.

Chongzhou's proposal for repairing and defending the seawall has been approved.

Cao Yi Canal cut off the tax and silver of Western Qin County to repair the source canal, but the court could not agree.

The imperial court issued a special decree that Huaian, Hailing and the two Huai salt and iron envoys should cooperate with it.

With this edict, Lin Fu formally summoned the chief officials of the three counties of Yandu, Jianling, and Gaocheng, as well as Sheyang, Dafeng, and Hecheng Caochang to discuss matters in Chongzhou.

Xiao Kuian was the editor for the Huaian government army and went to Chongzhou to meet Lin Fu.

Liu Tingzhou was not an inactive official, he knew in his heart the benefits of defending the seawall to the Huaidong region.

In fact, when Liu Tingzhou was the magistrate of Yandu, he wrote a letter suggesting that a seawall should be built between Yandu and Sheyang Saltworks.

To build a large pond embankment to defend the sea in the east of Yandu County alone, at least 400,000 taels of silver will be raised, which is far beyond what Yandu County can afford.

Liu Tingzhou wanted the court to be able to transfer silver from the salt and iron envoys, so that he could go to the two levels of the prefecture and directly submit a letter to the court.

Lianghuai Yanli is the imperial court, and Liu Tingzhou's unruly letter can have any consequences, one can imagine.

When Lin Fu first served as the envoy of the Huaidong system, he had to raise his own grain and money to build the sea-defense embankment in the periphery of Yandu, Jianling, Gaocheng and Hecheng, which caused great shocks in Yanjing and Jiangning.

In the later period of the Huaisi War, Liu Tingzhou fought against Lin Fu everywhere, and insisted in the face of big right and wrong. Repairing and defending the seawall would be of great benefit to Huaidong, but Liu Tingzhou supported Lin Fu in this matter.

Liu Tingzhou had seriously investigated the repair of the seawall in the east of Yandu. Even if Lin Fu didn't call him this time, he didn't care. He deliberately ran over with Hu Dahai, the magistrate of Yandu County, and ran over with a warm face and a cold butt.

Liang Wenzhan, the magistrate of Shanyang, had other things to go to Chongzhou to discuss with Lin Fuzhuan, and he mainly took this opportunity to get close to the people in Chongzhou.

Sailing from Huai'an to the south and entering the territory of Gaocheng, I heard all over the city talking about Lin Tie's promotion of a blacksmith to an official position in Chongzhou. The pawns of the defeated husband came to discuss it as a strange story, and it was more of envy and covetousness; when Liu Tingzhou, Hu Dahai, Liang Wenzhan, Xiao Kuian and others heard it, it was a different feeling.

Hu Dahai is usually a cautious person. Hearing these absurd things, he couldn't help but complain in front of Liu Tingzhou and Liang Wenzhan. If you want to study it carefully, Hu Dahai can be regarded as destroying his boss.

Liang Wenzhan sneered while holding the tea cup, and secretly said: Lin Bie denounced Chen Xiyan as a pig herd when he was in Jiangning. How many people have been able to "fuck" to such a position and such power in just three years? Liang Wenzhan thought so, but his face remained calm.

In the later period of the Huaisi War, Liang Wenzhan was willing to be the forerunner of Lin Fu, cleaned up the horse's family for Lin Fu, and made great contributions to the comprehensive penetration of the Huaidong Army into Shanyang County.

No one is stupid. The relationship between Liang Wenzhan and Liu Tingzhou was completely ruined, and he also isolated other officials of Huai'an.

In the Huaisi War, Liang Wenzhan was also a man of merit.

Before the war, Liang Wenzhan was the magistrate of Huai'an, and Huai'an was the capital county of Huai'an. After the war, Liang Wenzhan officially became the magistrate of Shanyang.

After Zhang Yubo went out to Xuzhou, Liang Wenzhan was not in Huai'an's court.

Others watched the show with cold eyes, saying that this was the fate of Liang Wenzhan who took refuge in Lin Fu and offended Yue Lengqiu and Liu Tingzhou.

Liang Wenzhan has been doing things with his **** tucked into his head and doing things in a low-key manner.

In just over half a year, Zhang Yubo has been promoted to four levels from the time he joined the army in Jiangning Prefecture to the time he went to Xuzhou.

Lin Fu once persuaded Zhang Yubo to resign due to illness. Zhang Yubo thought about it again and again, and still accepted Yue Lengqiu's offer to serve in Xuzhou. He also hoped to do something in his heart, but his family stayed in Jiangning and went to Xuzhou alone to take office. bad plan.

Look at how many prefects, political officials, councillors, ministers, inspectors, and admirals died in the war in the past two years. Troubled times are coming, and life cannot be guaranteed, so how can promotion be considered a good thing?

If he hadn't figured this out, how could Liang Wenzhan run to Lin Bie in Huaian night?

After the war, Liang Wenzhan had a chance to fight for Huai'an to pass the sentence. First, he felt ashamed of Liu Tingzhou and did not want to confront Liu Tingzhou in Huaian. Furthermore, he expected that he would isolate the officials of Huai'an, and be caught in the middle of the officials of Huai'an.

Liang Wenzhan knew in his heart that Lin Fu was independent from Huaidong, and the status of Shanyang County was much more important than that of Huai'an City.

Liang Wenzhan sought the status of the Huaidong Army, not the official position conferred by the imperial court, so how could he give up the post of the magistrate of Shanyang to fight for the Huai'an government's verdict, which had no substantial significance?

If you want to say your background, the people of Huaidong Army are from Lin Fu, which one is higher? Lin Buneng led the members of the Huaidong Army to make this career and break out of this world, which was caused by the "nonsense" in the eyes of the scholars.

Lin Bie appointed a blacksmith as an official in Chongzhou, which is exactly his usual style. Liang Wenzhan would not be surprised: there is no talent in blacksmiths?

Perhaps in the eyes of others, Lin Fu's move was a bit too flamboyant, almost pushing the Huaidong Army to the point where it was incompatible with the literati, which was not a good strategy.

Liang Wenzhan has a different understanding.

Chongzhou repairing and defending the seawall has the meaning of dormancy. Compared with She, Cao, Liang and other forces, the Huaidong forces do not have a deep foundation.

At this time, the promotion of a blacksmith as an official sounds very harsh to the scholar Qingliu, but how many talented people in the world who have been born and have no way to make a career will hear about this and go to Chongzhou to try their luck?

This is a thousand pieces of gold to buy horse bones.

After three or five years, Qingliu, a scholar, could calmly look at the blacksmith's official business. And once Huaidong has solidified the foundation and has the strength to compete in the world, the truly visionary scholar Qingliu, when he chooses the master and attaches himself, will he still care about those false names?

Xiao Kuian came from a humble background and achieved such a position by military exploits. It was very hard work. Now he is the commander of the Huai'an government army.

Hearing Hu Dahai's complaints, Xiao Kuian felt quite dissatisfied.

Liu Tingzhou had the kindness of knowing him, and also felt Liu Tingzhou's loyalty to the court, knowing that Liu Tingzhou had always had an opinion on Lin Fu. Xiao Kuian didn't say a word to argue with Hu Dahai, so as not to cause Liu Tingzhou's displeasure.

Liu Tingzhou was noncommittal about Lin Fu's appointment as an official blacksmith in Chongzhou.

This is Lin Fu's staff officer for Huaidong's envoys, and it is Lin Fu's privilege. Even if it provokes the evil eyes of scholars all over the world, it can limit Lin Fu's ambitions, which is a good thing for the court. In Liu Tingzhou's view, Lin Furuo was a rare capable minister in the past two hundred years if he could be loyal to the imperial court.

Lin Fu wanted to repair and defend the seawall like this, and Liu Tingzhou couldn't see whether he was loyal or a traitor for a while, but he didn't bother about the details of the blacksmith being an official.

Liu Tingzhou let out a small sigh, and asked the **** to get out of the cabin and instructed to sail the boat, trying to enter Chongzhou before dark.

************

Liu Tingzhou came to Chongzhou by himself, and he did not inform Chongzhou beforehand, and he did not expect that Chongzhou would send any prominent people to the county to welcome him. He expected that Chongzhou would not fight for the arrival of Hu Dahai, Liang Wenzhan, and Xiao Kuian. , after all, there are still salt and iron envoys and officials from Hailing House to receive and accompany them.

When the official ship entered the Yunyan River from the Beiguan River, it was regarded as entering the territory of Chongzhou.

There were several cavalry sentries on the shore, and the other side asked: "But it was sent from Huai'an and the boat that Mr. Liang, the magistrate of Shanyang County, was on?"

In the bow of the ship, he responded loudly to the shore: "Exactly, Liu Fuzun, the prefect of Huaian, is also on board..."

The cavalry didn't say anything, and didn't send anyone on the boat to check.

It is also normal for inquiries to enter the country, and Liu Tingzhou didn't care when he sat in the cabin.

After walking for about half an hour, he heard the loud noise of the chariots and horses in front, and Liu Tingzhou also asked people to open the porthole to look out, but saw a team of cavalry with two or three hundred people winding up~www.wuxiamtl.com~ From the east along the river bank, come this way. The horses in front of them were carrying ceremonial flags, and they walked along the coast and shouted loudly: "The Huaidong system has a prefect to welcome the prefect of Huai'an..."

Lin Fu personally went to the county to welcome him, but Liu Tingzhou didn't think there was any honor, so he glanced at Liang Wenzhan.

Liu Tingzhou didn't inform Chongzhou when he came over. Unless someone in Huai'an deliberately tipped off the news, Lin Fu would not know that he would come to Chongzhou. Even if he came to Chongzhou, Lin Fu would not welcome him in person. Lin Fulai greeted Liang Wenzhan, but he changed his words temporarily because he knew in advance that he was on the boat.

Besides, the people who came to explore the way before asked whether Liang Wenzhan was on board.

Liu Tingzhou wouldn't be able to figure out what's going on here.

Even if Lin Bie couldn't come to welcome him, Liu Tingzhou had no complaints. Lin Fu's official rank is higher than him, and there is no reason for his boss to come to the county to welcome his subordinates. To his surprise, Lin Fu actually condescended to welcome Liang Wenzhan.

If it is said that Lin Fu is a blacksmith in Chongzhou, he has a domineering attitude, but he can personally come to Jiuhua to welcome Liang Wenzhan, which reflects his magnanimity as a virtuous corporal.

Liang Wenzhan secretly attached to the Huaidong Army and gave up the Huai'an Mansion and refused to do so.

Liu Tingzhou sighed in his heart: a person like Lin Fu, who is not a competent official in the world, must be a hero in a troubled world.

Hu Dahai was full of resentment for Lin Fupi's blacksmith as an official, but at this time, Liang Wenzhan felt a sour feeling in his heart.

Liang Wenzhan boasted that he was successful in self-cultivation and self-cultivation, and he was inevitably excited at this time. It's just that there is nowhere to express his excitement. After all, Lin Fu knew that Liu Tingzhou was on the boat, so he could only temporarily change his name to welcome Liu Tingzhou. He could only suppress his excitement and followed Liu Tingzhou out of the cabin to meet the people of Chongzhou. Meet. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
