Lord of the House

Vol 8 Chapter 53: A gentleman is not a weapon

The next day, Lin Fu changed into the royal suit of Zhu Zi with a picture of a crane, with gold and silver rhinoceros horns around his waist, a cowhide waistband, and a headband with a pair of straight wings and a black gauze crown. Surrounded by more than a hundred guards, he entered the city from Donghua Gate. First, go to the Gu Mansion of Zangjin Bridge in Dongcheng to meet his mother-in-law and father Gu Wuchen and his wife.

There are more than 20 princes and ministers in Jiangning City who are qualified to wear purple, but most of them are ministers from the six Jiangning ministries who kicked to Jiangning to guard the mausoleum or dignitaries with high titles but no real power, and ministers wearing purple who really hold great power , only a few people.

Jianghuai Governor Yue Lengqiu is one of them.

Wang Xueshan, the governor of Jiangning Prefecture, is one of them.

Jiangdong Xuanfu envoy Wang Tian was one of them.

Yu Xinyuan, the inspector of Jiangdong and the censor of the left capital of Jiangning, was one of them.

Cheng Yuqian, the minister of military affairs in Jiangning, is one of them.

Gu Wuchen, the servant of the Jiangning Ministry of War, is one of them.

Deng Yu, the former guard of Luzhou, the governor of Jiangdong and the envoy of the Huinan system, was considered one of them.

Compared with the above, Lin Fu is only 24 years old. Although his official rank is not above the third rank, he has accumulated military and political achievements, and has been awarded with purple clothes. The real giants in Jiangdong County are particularly dazzling. .

Lin Bie's face is clear and handsome, with two or three scars on his cheeks that have not disappeared, and his body is slightly thin, but even wearing a civil official uniform, riding a blue-black high-headed horse, surrounded by many armored cavalry, he is still the same. A peerless blade with a handle, even if it is hidden in a sheath, it can make people feel the invincible edge.

Over the years, wars have continued, and several counties have been ruined, but Jiangning has always been far away from the war, and is a gentle hometown and safe haven for wealthy people. It is precisely because of the constant wars that more foreign rich and powerful officials have brought their families to Jiangning to avoid disasters, looking for a sense of security that may not exist at all, which also makes Jiangning City more and more deformed and prosperous.

It is human nature to chase and envy power, and Lin Bie walked through the street surrounded by more than a hundred horsemen, which naturally attracted the attention of the people in the lanes. The little daughter-in-law and the eldest girl were even more furious, and crowded over to watch.

Although this governor is notorious in the eyes of scholar Qingliu, he is definitely the dreamer of countless ladies; the first talent in Jiangnan, the champion of the top spot, Chen Mingzhe, is also dwarfed by comparison.

Not to mention that this young governor has long been famous, timid peeps, daring to look directly at each other, and what's more, he frequently frowns and leaves. If I accidentally swept the eyes of the controller, I would be even more excited, and I couldn't help screaming.

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

Yuan Jinsheng looked at the cavalry team passing through the street downstairs from the window, watching the liveliness of the street, he suddenly thought, and thought to himself: who would have thought of an ordinary move that he ignored four years ago , will rise like a star, and as the second son of Yongchang Hou, he handed in the invitation to see him, but he still had to wait in line.

It took a long time for the cavalry team to pass before Yuan Jinsheng regained his mind. The son of Wang Xueshan, Wang Chao, the son of Fan Ding, and the young Cai Dongfan Zhimei of Fanlou, who were sitting at the same table with him, were also thinking about it. In addition, there was a young man who looked at the little wives and big girls who were antonymous outside the window with disdain, and sneered: "To promote an illiterate blacksmith to be an official, there is really no such pig herd in the world. What a stupid thing to do!"

This young man is not someone else. He is a classmate and friend of Chen Mingzhe, the former champion of the criminal record, and Yu Pijiang, the son of Yu Xinyuan, the inspector of Jiangdong Province.

Yu Bijiang and Chen Mingzhe entered the same department. Chen Mingzhe was too popular, and it was easy to break down after a while, so he took leave to return to his hometown to avoid the fierce party disputes in Beijing, while Yu Bijiang stayed in the small wing of Beijing. The three-year term of serving in the Hanlin Academy is coming to an end. This time, Yu Pijiang is asking for leave to return to Jiangning Province.

The matter of moving the capital has always been going on in secret. Those who know the secret, of course, know that the status of the Jiangning Six Divisions has undergone subtle changes compared to the past. Great improvement.

Nowadays, wars are frequent in various places, and it is extremely risky to be released as an official. Besides, in Jiangdong County, the Wu Party force still occupies half of the world, and the old man Yu Xinyuan is covering it. What does Yu Maojiang not return to Jiangning to become an official?

Gu Siyuan went to Qingzhou to serve as an officer and leader of the army, and had already left Jiangning's circle of sons; Chen Mingzhe had also stayed in Haiyu for the past two years, and had not officially started an official career. Yu Bijiang first returned to Jiangning, and in a short time he became the core figure of the younger generation of Xixi Society.

Yuan Jinsheng, Wang Chao, and Fan Zhimei were the top figures in Jiangning's circle. I have nothing to do today, I came to drink tea, but I didn't expect to meet Lin Fu passing by the restaurant street.

Yu Bijiang also prides himself on being a young talent. Except for Chen Mingzhe, he has never admired anyone else in his life. When he saw Lin Fu's first entry into the city, the limelight completely overshadowed his sharpness, and of course he would be dissatisfied.

These are secondary, and more importantly, Lin Fu's various policies in Huaidong, especially the wanton promotion of rude villagers to officials, caused a direct and violent impact on the political privilege and status of scholar Qingliu.

Ge Fu was promoted to be an engineer, and Dong Yuan was a propaganda envoy of Zhejiang and Zhejiang. These can be regarded as special cases, and they can be accepted and talked about by everyone as a beautiful talk about Ye You's legacy.

Lin Fu made a big taboo when he promoted the rough village husband as an official in Huaidong.

If it develops based on this situation, the temples will be filled with rude villagers, and these scholars who have worked hard, studied hard, and entered from the sciences, what else is there to be precious?

Although Fan Zhimei had no thoughts of resisting Lin Fu, her resentment against Lin Fu would not disappear. Hearing Yu Bijing's words, she felt a sense of confidant, and said, "Now Huaidong Military Division is taking the lead to build a bank. If those who are officials don’t act well and govern local areas, but open **** shops to put money in print and steal food from the people, the world will really change…”

Although Lin Fu only arrived in Jiangning yesterday, the news about the bank has already spread among the Dongyang Township Party a few days earlier. The restaurant run by the Fan family in Hekou is also one of the places where the Dongyang Township Party gathers to discuss matters. Fan Zhimei and the others have long known that the Huaidong Military Division will gather people to set up a bank.

"A gentleman has no virtue, but he is going to ruin it for the pig herders!" Yu Bijiang shook his head and sighed.

Yuan Jinsheng took the tea cup and sipped the tea, not agreeing with Yu Bijiang and Fan Zhimei's complaints.

According to the information so far, Lin Fuyu convened a bank to set up a bank in Huaidong. In addition to issuing receipts for grain merchants, the most important thing was to release money for profit. This story spread in the Qingliu of scholars, but it was just another joke on Lin Fu's head, but it was by no means something that could be despised simply by saying "a gentleman is not a weapon".

Although many people think of themselves as gentlemen, and usually even talk about money, they feel dirty, but how many **** shops in Jiangning city are secretly not involved with the official family? Among those people in Jiangning City who put money in print, how many of them are not supported by official figures?

Fan Zhimei said it with disdain, but in fact, a large part of the income of Yongchang Houfu and Fanlou was to pay interest and open **** shops.

Unlike other families who secretly find an agent to do it, Lin Bie wants to do this with great fanfare in Huaidong. In fact, the impact caused by the Qingliu scholars is not as good as Lin Bie's promotion of the rough villager in Huaidong. Being an official is strong.

Yuan Jinsheng thought of other thoughts, drank tea, threw a silver thorn as tea money, and made an excuse to leave first.

Yuan Jinsheng returned to Hou's Mansion, and when he passed by Wangcui Garden, where his father lived in daily life, he probed into it. Hou's manor, Zhou He, came over and said, "Little Marquis, where have you been, and Marquis is asking me to look for you everywhere?"

"What is my father looking for?" Yuan Jinsheng asked.

"Jinsheng is outside?" Yuan Guizheng asked just in the pavilion in the west corner of the yard, listening to the voices from here.

"It's me," Yuan Jinsheng walked into Wangcuiyuan, stood in front of the steps, greeted Yuan Guizheng, and said, "I have seen my father, what does my father have to do with me?"

"Is there a reply from Lin Fu?" Yuan Guizheng asked.

It was rare for Lin Fu to return to Jiangning, and he didn't know how many people were vying to meet him. Naturally, the invitation was handed over to the house first, and Lin Fu had to wait for a reply before he could know if he had a chance to see it. Some people sent their family members to wait for the reply at the place where Lin Fu stayed.

Although Yongchang Hou Yuanguizheng was a prominent man in Jiangning City, even if he sent a greeting card, he might not be able to see Lin Bie others.

Yuan Guizheng was also worried that his face would be refuted and become the laughing stock of Jiangning City, so he asked Yuan Jinsheng to send a post of worship first to try it out.

"I haven't heard back yet. I just saw Lin Fu walking across the street to Gu's house in Yuanfu Building, and I didn't have time to pay attention to those greetings asking for a meeting." Yuan Jinsheng said.

Yuan Guizheng looked at the clear sky beyond the eaves of the outer courtyard wall, and said lightly, "Tang Haoxin's death is not a good thing!"

Yuan Jinsheng knew why his father felt this way. They had the opportunity to maintain a close relationship with Huaidong, but Miao Shuo, the steward of Yudong Palace Village two years ago, was too stingy and broke things.

At that time, Lin Su led the Jinghai battalion in the East China Sea to fight against the East China Sea bandits controlled by the She family, and Miao Shuo was willing to use 6,000 taels of silver to fund the army, just like sending a beggar, which led to the weakening of the relationship between the two sides.

This is not the main thing. What is more important is that the families joined forces to kill Tang Haoxin in Shandong, and the Liang family benefited the most.

When Tang Haoxin died, Lin Fu only occupied one county in Chongzhou. Although he has already revealed his strong head~www.wuxiamtl.com~, compared with the importance of Liang Jiamou's Shandong, he naturally has no time to worry about how Lin Fu feels about Tang Haoxin's death.

After Tang Haoxin's death, Lin Bie's series of responses and counterattacks in Chongzhou made everyone know what a newborn calf dares to deceive a tiger!

In the name of keeping filial piety, Lin Fu secretly sneaked to Jinhai, and forcefully forced Liang's family, Zhang Yue and other Chu party forces, as well as Zhang Yan and Hao Zongcheng's imperial party forces to bow their heads together on the issue of salt and silver to protect food. The salt and silver guarantees the grain and the success. The Dongyang faction, headed by Chongzhou, says that every year, they will take away seven or eight hundred thousand taels of silver. This is something that no one has thought of in advance.

In the battle of Huaisi, the Liang family did not take much advantage. Chen Hansan called for Yue Lengqiu to stop the Liang family's expansion to the south. With the assistance of Huaidong, Gu Siyuan led a group of elite troops into Qingzhou to stop the Liang family's expansion to the east. Lin Fu was officially appointed as the envoy of the Huaidong system and officially became a giant in Jiangdong County, and even in the southeastern region.

It would be a good thing to force Tang Haoxin to death and give the Liang family a chance to occupy Shandong and the northern part of Zhongzhou; but pushing Lin Fu to the opposite side and giving Lin Fu a chance to rise strongly in Huaidong would be the biggest misstep.

"This is the end of the matter, so much worry is useless," Yuan Jinsheng said. "As long as Su Mei still has a place in his heart, it is not that there is no chance to ease the relationship. Besides Tang Haoxin's death, the Liang family will benefit the most, and we have nothing to do with it. What kind of direct conflict of interest, Lin Fu can't put all the resentment on our heads. My invitation may not work, but the elder brother has a lot of interest with him, why don't you let the elder brother send the invitation to try? "

"That scoundrel, if you could just listen to me honestly, you wouldn't have to work so hard all these years!" Yuan Guizheng said angrily, thinking of another matter, and asked, "What do you think about Huaidong's establishment of a bank? "My QT room is open!
