Chapter 450 Carnival
The head of the dignified Meng family will definitely not come to Feng Yong to settle accounts because of the quarrel between the younger generations. He doesn't even know that there is actually a reason behind Hua Wan coming to him to ask 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 Leave it in Meng Yan’s hands.”
Mrs. Zhu Rong’s expression was firm, with a faint gloomy look on her face.
Meng Huo can become the leader of the barbarian kings 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 would Meng Yan be appointed as the prefect of Zhuti County, but his family had to go? Live in Jincheng?
Not only is it scary to think about it, but I don’t even dare to think about it further.
It's just that it's too late to say anything now.
Meng Huo sighed and said, "Wan Niang is a romantic woman, 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 his former bravery.
"We might as well go live in Jincheng and spend the rest of our lives with peace of mind. Don't you often say that I don't want to enter your home? How about I stay with you at home after we go to Jincheng?"
Mrs. Zhu Rong couldn't help but comforted 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 enthusiasm was first driven by people from the Xinghan Society.
Nowadays, many second-generation officials in Jincheng greet each other and ask like this: "Hey, 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 a restaurant.”
He shook his head and sighed, looking like he had no hope for 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, and they gave me more. Who would have thought that as soon as I got it, it was gone in the blink of an eye."
So the two of them looked at each other and smiled tacitly, and at the same time thought to themselves: This brother went to Nanzhong, and indeed he did not 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 have no money feel proud of their faces, but those who have money feel panic in their hearts - Damn it, Feng Dianzi is doing this again! Did you agree to go to Nanzhong to plant sugar cane?
Don’t worry about the scarcity but the inequality. Some people will be happy and others will be sad.
For example, Liu Liang, who has more money on hand, is more worried.
Because the Liu family did not receive the last large-scale labor bonus in Nanzhong, not even a little bit!
Weixian once, Dianchi once, the labor force is not 20,000, but more than 10,000.
As long as there were people left in Pingyi County, every family participated in the feast to a greater or lesser extent, and their mouths were full of food.
As long as they followed the various militia groups that went to Wei County, everyone benefited.
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 way. Hanzhong has to transport woolen cloth to Jincheng every month. At present, 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. It is extremely convenient to make a mistake.
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.
What is this if I'm not eager for justice and love justice?
Large numbers 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 Xing Han Hui were the first to instigate the carnival is because as long as the families connected with the Xing Han Hui were the first to receive labor.
After this incident, the reputation of the Xinghan Society was greatly improved.
But for Feng Tubao, it doesn't matter whether he is in a hurry or not.
The important thing is that without everyone knowing it, one’s own credit system has been further strengthened.
The only exception to this carnival feast 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 to the point where he almost died.
This is not the most important thing. What’s more terrible is that in the end, I still missed an opportunity to accumulate merit.
The fastest way to get promoted is to meet a 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 I am 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 basically 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 is a prince, he will definitely have no chance of promotion.
Everyone in Xinghanhui is poor now, but they are gloriously poor. How many people want to spend money but have no way to do it.
Having so much money on hand, what is the use? Can I get credit in exchange?
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!”
Liu Liang knelt down on the spot when he saw Liu Yan.
He knows his master very well, he is impatient and has a good face.
This time, not only did he let the Liu family miss a good opportunity, but he became the only exception in each 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 lost his old face and went to the palace to ask for a favor from the emperor and empress. Unexpectedly, he failed to get what he wanted in the end.
You are asked to take care of the affairs of the government. What kind of nonsense do you do?
It’s just that I have followed the late emperor since Yuzhou, and experienced countless 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 is 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 small thing. He is really unworthy of a man!
Liu Yan didn't let Liu Liang 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 Company in Nanzhong. Now we are selecting the supervisor and supervisor. I will try my best to ask the emperor. If you can be one of them, then that's 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?"
Going into the inner palace to do things for the palace would be considered a lucky move.
He is a dignified son of a prince, but he wants to touch the emperor's **** like that eunuch...Don't you find it embarrassing, sir?
What's more, your Majesty now doesn't even have any rights, so what's the use?
“Extremely stupid!
As soon as Liu Yan heard this, he almost couldn't hold back his anger and cursed loudly.
Although the son did not say it outright, he naturally understood what his son was thinking.
But you don’t look at Nai Weng either?
Is it not because I was close to the late emperor that I got such a high position?
"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 for a few years with peace of mind. When the emperor takes charge, he will not forget your kindness."
When the late emperor had not decided on his great career, he spent decades developing a relationship with the late emperor.
Now that the emperor has not yet taken charge of the government, it is the 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 good deeds in the future?
Besides, after all, I can be considered a member of the royal clan, and we are still part of the same family!
If one’s own family’s property is not used, how can one still use outsiders?
“Besides, if it’s profitable to grow sugar cane, even if you don’t join the Xinghan Society, our family can use the emperor’s influence to get a share of the pie.”
